A dainty old-fashioned flower garden surrounded the hall ending in a corner where there was a wishing well. The couples, girls re¬ splendent in their evening gowns, boys dressed in their best suits, entered the hall under an arch banked with flowers. From the stage decorated with spring blossoms, the music of the local orchestra floated through the hall. After a delicious lunch, served by the mothers of the pupils, Mr. Lambert cut the birthday cake. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing.

Society Audrey Smith The first social function of the school year was a Hallowe’en Party with Edgerton, Irma and Separate School High Schools as guests. The evening was spent dancing with many prizes given for the best performers in a variety of dances. A delicious buffet lunch was served and during lunch hour entertainment was pro vided by some of the talented pupils of W-H-S. This party was the audition of the “Students of Swing” the High School orchestra which has proved a big success. The Christmas Party was held.the Friday before the Christ¬ mas recess. The hall was decorated to harmonize with the Christ¬ mas Spirit. Oh! that mistletoe! ! It looked as if fate were with us when the siln shone warm and bright on Saturday, February 9, the day of the W H S. Follies. The races and a hockey game between Irma and Edgerton com¬ prised the afternoon entertainment. In the evening the weather turned cold but enthusiasm still ran high. The climax of the Car¬ nival was the crowning of Carnival Queen, Miss Beda Nordstrom, Board of Trade candidate. Her ladies-in-waiting were: Miss Shirley McKenzie, W.H.S. Candidate; and Miss Isabel MacKenzie, Separate School candidate. Mr. Lambert crowned the Queen. Tha throne was beautifully decorated by members of the school. A final hockey game in which W.H.S. was victorious was played against Edgerton, the winner of the afternoon game. All during the day hot-dogs and coffee were sold. How those cold north winds do blow! Especially on the day we picked for our bonspiel—Saturday, January 17. The winner of the Grand Challenge was the rink skipped by Miss Telfer, and the winner of the Consolation was the rink skipped by Doug. Ringrose. The lunch committee served invigorating coffee, hot dogs, and doughnuts to wea y participants in the first W.H.S. bouspiel for a number of years.
