OCIAL EVENT .... KENT COUNTY FIELD MEET DANCE .... This year C.V.S. sponsored the dance which was held in Chatham in the Kinsmen Auditorium after the field meet. The music was supplied by the Chat- eau Gai Orchestra. The highlight of the evening was a mass bunnyhop, led by all the cheerleaders, which proved to be very successful. Students from all over Kent County attended. CRYSTAL BALL .... The fourth annual Crystal Ball was held in Chatham in the Kinsmen Memorial Auditorium on December 30, 1954. The main event of the evening was the crowning of the queen. Each contestant was an individual winner of her school and the judging proved quite difficult. However pretty Catherine Roth of St. Joseph's Hospital came up with top honours. Dancing was enjoyed at this festive event with the Chateau Gai Orchestra. ANNUAL PROM .... The Wallaceburg Annual Prom was held on Friday March 19, 1954, and was said to be the best formal ever. The girls all looked lovely in their billowy formals and the boys looked handsome in their dark suits. Bobbie Down's Or- chestra of London provided music, and it was really terrific! We were very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Bert Crothers for assisting us in so many ways- - - es- pecially for the beautiful palm tree, and South Sea Island centre piece, which added so much to the decor of our gymnasium. Entertainment at intermission consisted of a drummer from the above orchestra who really made our halls of ivy rock. DRAMATIC CLUB F BOLIC .... On November 19th, an extremely large crowd attended, considering the fact that it was the Friday night before Christmas examinations. Our gym- nasium looked very stunning in black and white. The audience was given a preview of the Lesterace Hour which was enjoyed by one and all. That cele- brated pianist was played by Leslie Files. Jack Burgess was M.C. John Bur- nett was announcer, and Sandra Lacey and Forbes McClellan took part in the commercial. It couldn't be that B.H., R.M., P.A. and D.F. mixed up the pro- gramme, could it? Other performers were the McChoir Sisters , CHelen Rub- lik, Janet McDonald and Muriel Jamesb plus the Four Italians , an operatic quartette who were Janice Peterson, Deane Whitteker, Bruce McCrae and Dick Hart. MISTLETOE BALL .... The Mistletoe Ball was one of the biggest events of the season, spon- sored by the student council. The gym looked very Christmassy in red, white and green with sprigs of mistletoe hanging in the most obvious places. Lovely Janice Poissant was crowned queen and was W.D.H.S.'s entry in the Crystal Ball. Her attendants were Mary Stevens, Deane Whitteker, Valerie Dough- rety and Janice Peterson. Music was provided by the orchestra of Freddie Frampton. -74-
