The aim of the club is to help each girl to develop into her best. Each year it assumes new re' sponsibilities and is now a vital part of our school life. Because of bad weather the customary hike which begins activities developed into a party in the Gymnasium. Before supper there was dancing and a treasure hunt which developed into lively scramble through the corridors. Supper was served in the lunch room. The girls then adjourned to the Gym. where a sing song and amusing program were pref sented under the leadership of Isabel Stewart. During the Candle Service, conducted by Mrs. Evans and the pref sident, the ideals of the Club were im' pressed upon the mind of everyone. The activities concluded with taps. On Friday evening, October 26 the Halloween Masquerade was held. The gymnasium was gayly decorated for the occasion with coloured streamers and bobbing balloons, Mrs. G. E. Evans and a committee of teachers acted as judges in the contest for the prettiest and most original cosf tume. The prilefwinners were Mina Paterson as Cleopatra, Marjory jackson as an old fashioned girl and Miss Mason and her friend as Mickey and Minnie Mouse. During the evening we were entertained by a group of girls, who danced. Two male members of the student body crashed the party during the evening and caused much comment Marjorie Rothwell among the girls. Wheii the masks were removed it was found to be Larry Gough and Rosie Dunford who had so coyly turned the trick. When the dancing was over refreshments were served in the cafeteria and the party broke up after a most enjoyable evening. At Christmas the Club took care of many needy families in the township: This year a new plan was adopted which was a great success. Each form took care of a family and saw to it that it was supplied with everything necessary for a merry Christmas. The result was that more pupils were actively interested in the work and the gifts took on a more personal touch. The annual Christmas concert pref sented by the Club for the student body took place as usual on the last morning of school. The program consisted of a play put on by the Dramatic Club, an illustrated lecture presented by Mr. Ray' field and Christmas Carols by the pupils under the direction of Mr. Bowley. To bring the years activities to a close, the Girls' Club held its annual Mother and Daughter Banquet on Fri- day evening, May Srd. The guest speaker of the evening was Dr. Eliza- beth Stewart, president of the Zonta Club, who gave a most interesting ad- dress on 'Leisure Time and Hobbies . Mr. and Mrs. Evans, Mr. and Mrs. Batchelor, and Mr. and Mrs. Webster were also guests of the club. There were about ZOO Mothers and Daughters in attendance, and as usual the pro- gramme was most enjoyable.

Page 22 ACTA STUDENTIUM QWD1ElIlAlIb The evening of Friday, December 7, was a cold and cheerless one indeed, unless you happened to be at the Vaughan Road Athletic Dance. But of course, you were. In the Gym, which was finely decor' ated for the event, there assembled one of the most enthusiastic crowds that Vaughan has ever entertained. The Campbell Brothers orchestra supplied a warmth in the music which was ample to dispel any lingering memories of the frosty, outside air. Among the dancers were a great many of Vaughan's graduates and a goodly sprinkling of teachers. Ut might be interesting here just to note that in the rush for a place in the refeshment line, the added weight of a number of year doesn't seem to hold those pedagogues downg unhfumh, not anyj lt was with much regret that we saw the fateful hour approach and with lingering farewells that we bid old friends adieu until-. ...-.,g.1Qj,g,-..- ANNUAL Timei9 o'clock. PlacefVaughan Road Collegiate Cccasion-The Annual Literary Dance Ooofwah for the Lit. Society. Coofwah for the decorating committee and its attractive decorations in the good old Maroon, gold and blue. Ooofwah for the orchestra committee and its inspired powers of selection. What an orchestra! Oh, boy! Carrying on in the wellfkown Vaughan fashion the Literary Society produced this year a dance which was the very acme of entertainment. For several days before the big event our amateur interior decorators and electricians were as busy as beavers, executing preparations for the event. AT HOME When the time for festivity actually arrived there wasn't a single 'LRomanf cing Romeo or Jolie Juliet who was not primed with the anticipation which was built up by an extensive advertising program. And, to shatter one more of our aft repeated fables, let us hasten to shout with loud acclaim that here was one occasion regarding which, the joys of anticipation did not-'most emphatic' ally not-exceed the joys of participation. While the orchestra boys took a well' deserved rest in the middle of the even' ing we were entertained by a group of Swiss bell-ringers and an admirable trio. Then the music began and dancing continued until twelve, when the party
