affair; a particular highlight were the numerous class parties held by Skulemen in 26 different rooms. The last stronghold to give way was the Engineering Society suite. At 4:30 A.M. amid strewn bodies, empty bottles and general devastation, the stalwart society men finally staggered out leaving a terrified Royal York in their wake. Many thanks must be extended to Robin Beamish for his excellent work on the Skule At Home and to Worden Teasdale, Stan Klich and Ross Millar for the help they provided with all the year ' s events. Anything that might be said of the School At Home would not be sufficient to adequately describe it. The Canadian Room of the Royal York on Thursday, January 28th was appropriately decorated with seven hundred and fifteen engineers and their girls. This represents an un- dreamed of increase over past attendance at the Skule At Home. In addition to Ken Dean in the Canadian Room, Cy McLean ' s jazzy combo entertained in the Toronto Room until 2:00 A.M. Corsages, favours, fruit punch, peanuts and chips, and great entertainment were all part of the

The Social Year... The year 6T0 will be one to remember for many years to come. The student body itself provided the most im- portant contribution to the success of our social functions. We had many willing workers to plan them and terrific attendance in support of them. Skule Dinner Speaker W. J. Bennett. The Skule Dinner was an unquestionable success. Class representatives did an excellent job of selling tickets with the result that on October 15 the Great Hall was virtually filled to capacity. The speaker for the evening was Mr. W. J. Bennett, past President of Eldorado Mines, former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission of Canada and President of Canadian British Aluminum. Dr. Murray Ross replied to the toast to the University and Dean McLaughlin replied to the toast to the school. Skulemen got their first glimpse of the new Cannon and dinner ended with the traditional Toike Oike . Cannon Ball poster. A near record crowd attended the Cannon Ball on Nov. 27th. Highlight of the evening was the debut of the new improved L.G.M.B. Ellis McClintock took a back seat while John Coggins conducted his band through two intensely moving arias. In fact they had a tendency to move audiences right out of the gym. Original murals were entered in the Inter-Course Mural Competition along the theme of The Typical Engineer . The Mechanical Club won first prize and received twelve theatre passes for their efforts. Many door prizes were awarded and en- thusiasm reigned supreme in all quarters. ietorit C: zmnc m ? £ (Bn Uot from ftt ' CaBnj (Bailer xrdhe settee excpjwrtc and rnte heritage of ini IJjr fihuiiei in ? it eflcfe lh annual Cannon Bali iwld in home Cilile hm Self xiorlrnil of MmtmMnll .

Grad Ball 6 TO Climaxing one of the most successful social years that Skule has seen, the Graduation Ball was held in the Canadian Room, Ontario Room, Toronto Room, and several other rooms, corridors and lobbies of the Royal York Hotel on Friday (and Saturday), March 18th. It is hard to single out one of the many activities as the most noteworthy, but the sight of over seven hundred persons in full formal dress enjoying a fine turkey meal in the Canadian Room will long be remembered. The toasts were brilliant. Metallurgist Ted Belman, toasted the University, Frank Collins superbly toasted the Faculty, Professor Father P. B. Hughes, toasted the ladies (with the help of the Ming dynasty) and Chancellor F. C. A. Jeanneret toasted the Graduating Class. Principal Moffat Woodside, Dean McLaughlin, our Marlene Metzger and Tony Simms replied eloquently. Awards were made by the Engineering Society to the Engineering Society, to
