P ARTIES
Hallowe'en and Initiation
Qict.ober 31:1 found ,a gleam of fiendish delight in the eyes of all but First Formers. On their faces was portrayed fear of wh<tt was to ecme. As they filed into t.he rcom im1a weird assortment of costumes, the boys clad in shorts, nylons and hats, and th1 ~j..-Js in uyjamas, we gave them 1 rous:l:'l"\' wekome. This was th~ b::ginning of their initiation.
The first event of the eve,nlino: was a costume parade in Which B"rn~rd Chalmers and Herb Hirkling Clarried off all the hon- ours.
Doffim•z .their costumes, all but First Formers disappeared, and soon the call of "all re~.dy" was T•'3Ssed up to the guards at FirsL Room door. Then t.he First Formers were blindfolded, spun around. and then pulled p;aily dcwn the two flights of stairs to be re·~aled with spoonsful of flour, 11aw eggs and epsom salts.
This entertainment over, we nroceeded to Second Room, and danced to the m11sic of Lawrence Lincisay's orchestra.
The lunch committee, Helen F.mmett, rsobel Pyrke, Dorothv Sidey .and Doug. Mulholland. d e E e r v e s o e c i a l c r e d i t f o r s e r v - ing a delicious lUinch. At thi~ time the school 1:aper was read ry the editor, Mnilyn Raymer.
ATtistic decorart.ion$ were the work of Ptermnd Chalmers, Joan I,onn10x. Bert Corbett and Ber- niece Carter.
'T'hns~ resPonsible for thP olannin,g a·ntd arr.ana·e"Tl.ent~ of the pro!!'ra.mme were Pat Jor- r'l~>n. John Thomson. Monica Litntdsay and Norm Barber.
