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

The skit, a parody on Canterbury Tales, in¬ volved the talented efforts of many people and a great deal of hard work. Despite the riotous rehearsals and the bad luck suffered when Mr. Marvin Steen (a ' method’ actor) broke his ankle in the spirited finale and was laid up for months, it was a spectacular performance en¬ joyed by all and will surely provide many pleasant future memories. The close of the first term was the occa¬ sion for a gala celebration, held mainly to antagonize the Junior Division, in the form of a roller skating, dancing, and tobogganing party. However, due to unprecedented difficulties, there was no roller skating because the floor had not been put down, no tobogganing because the liability insurance had expired, and no dancing because the record player didn’t work. The highlight of the evening involved crashing the fourth year party. After being royally en¬ tertained for twelve minutes, the police came and made several arrests in conjunction with the stringing up of a certain amusement park operator. In athletics, members of Third Year made important contributions to football, track and field, hockey, curling, and the volley-ball league. The most noteworthy athletic achieve¬ ment was the winning of the Junior Women’s Badminton Championship by Judy Borland. As always, Third Year made a good show¬ ing in Debating this year. One of the many wins and probably the highlight of the year came when Miss Vasey and Miss Kroeker proved that boys like smear lipstick better than nonsmear.” At Snowflurries this year it was the beaut¬ iful Third Year candidate, Miss Amantea, who was chosen Miss Snowflake. On February 17, during mid-term break, we all gathered in New Tony’s for our second term party. It must have seemed rather strange for those who were curling in the varsity bonspiel to take a night off for A Trip to Hawaii.” The night was complete with Polynesian food (ac¬ tually Chinese food in disguise). After this gala wind-up, we all noticed that essays were due and exams were drawing nearer, and hurried off to do a few short weeks of studying before the finals. 23
