Many of our science students like United College so much that they signed a petition in favour of instituting Third Year Science at the College. The first term commenced with the election of fifteen capable students to serve as the council representatives for the year. November 10 was a day never to be for¬ gotten by second year students. It was climax¬ ed by the winning of Stunt Nite with the skit A Herrimewsical”, a take-off on Merrihew’s Book Store ( ' ' Air-Conditioned Books”) and the Gilbert and Sullivan opera ' ' H.M.S. Pinafore”. This was a resounding success and an apt re¬ ward to those who worked so arduously on the skit. Our prime social function was the custom¬ ary year party. It consisted of tobogganing at the Riviera Park followed by a dance in New Tony’s. The event was both a financial and a social success. Second Year came up with surprisingly good debaters this year. Most of the debaters spent hours in preparation, and their efforts were re¬ warded as we emerged as finalists against Col¬ legiate. It was an honour for our students to be able to hold their own against the more exper¬ ienced third and fourth year students. Second Year also had top participation in in all of the College activities. Several stu¬ dents attended the Canadian-American Confer¬ ence at Macalaster College. Members of our year were in the Monotones, the Chapel Choir and the Cheerleaders, and we had many visitors to the Second Year Table during the Men’s Club—Co-ed Tea held in January. Frequent contributions were made by our year to The Uniter, especially by one notable man of letters. In sports, we boasted six-man football stars, badminton and table tennis champions, and several students participated in basketball, bowling, swimming and curling. 21
