Left, Skule At-Home Below, Peregrinus McCulley chots awhile This is the end. In closing I would like to thank all those that I had the privilege of working with for a job well done. It seems a shame tha t the same people do all the dirty work while every- body reaps the beneefits, but rest assured, you have gained invaluable experience. To you, who showed enough confidence in electing me, I hope I have lived up to your expecta- tions; and to all Skulemen Toike Oike and the best of luck in the future. CHARLES S. MAYER the Dean was taken in by it. More people attended this year ' s Cannon Ball than ever before, and were amply rewarded by first class entertainment provided by comedian Doug Roumaine, and Skule ' s own Jack Law. Con- gratulations to the dance committee for throwing a fine ball. Even before the Christmas Holidays a small group headed by Christie Smith started work- ing on the decorating for the At-Home. Mean- while, the committee, under the direction of Al Matthews, were making the decisions on theme, favours, corsages and all the small details that most people take for granted. Then came the big day, Thursday, January 21 , when Skule went Roman. At the Royal York guests were greeted by marshalls in Roman attire, banners flying and massive Roman arches. The decorating committee had really transformed the ballrooms to the splendour of Imperial Rome. The only fault of the dance was that it was over too soon. Skule had proved again that they can hold the best dance in Toronto. 15

GRAD BALL 5T7 We listened to philosophy . . . You have to watch your girl . . . Another memorable Engineering Gradua- tion Ball was held on Friday evening, Febru- ary 22nd, at the Royal York Hotel. Among the guests at this stylish affair were Dr. Syd- ney Smith, president of the University; Joseph McCulley, warden of Hart House; Dr. Marcus Long, renowned professor of Philosophy, and Warren Stephens, Director of Athletics for the university. The evening commenced with a reception for guests after which dinner was served Fol- lowing the dinner came a deliciously pro- longed series of toasts. Then a series of presentations were made to some of the boys who had donated exceptional amounts of time and effort to activities around Skue. Later in the evening there was dancing to the music of Benny Louis. This was interrupt- ed briefly, at midnight, for a floor show featuring Zena Cheevers, Billy Meek and the Ad-Fours. Rounding out the roster of enter- tainment was Cy McLean end his Dixie- landers, and Tish Goode. The partying continued after the dancing concluded at 3.00 a.m., climaxing the eve- ning, in many sequestered locations through- out the old R.Y. And when the tumult and shouting had died, all three hundred couples agreed that it was a wonderful ball. . . . and so on . . . 17
