Social Activities
A large number of Grade Nine students attended the Annual Initiation dance on Friday, October 7th, 1962, This event opened the social season at C.C.I. and proved to be one of the most successful Initiation dances yet held. The door prize was won by a visitor from Meaford. Garry Green and his partner were the lucky winners of both Spot dances. Music was supplied by the "Suedes."
The next major social event was "Bobby Curtola Night" on Friday, November 9. More than 600 young people from all over the Georgian Bay District listened and danced to the music of Bobby and the Martens. A large number of former students, including such well-known figures as Wally Downer, Chris Roberts, J~rry Rogers, Jean Redpath, Michele Radermacher, and Donna Bell, were in attendance, giving the whole event the atmosphere of a grant reunion.
On October 29th, the Hallowe'en Masquerade drew a large crowd of students and friends. Once again the "Suedes" ryrovided the musical background. Mr. Fischer and Mr. Twigg, after much deliberation, finally chose as winners of the costume contest, a somewhat large female in a red dress (who turned out to be Chuck McNicol), Allan Ionson (disguised as a Shriner), Carol Hewson (as an angel), and Catherine Newby (dressed as "Miss Mephistophles").
On Friday evening, December 21, approximately 150 couples enjoyed the Christmas formal dance. Music was provided by the "Music Makers." The gymnasium was beautifull.Y' decorated with Christmas trees, lights, and gay ribbons to emphasize the theme, "Midnight Magic." A highlight of the evening was the crowning of the 1962-163 Beauty Queen, Marjorie Swalm. A delicious buffet lunch was served in the cafeteria to end the evening's festivit~es.
On Friday, February 15th the Annual Twirp dance was held. The girls brought the boys they had "snagged" for an evening of dancing to the music of the "Suedes." Martha Nettleton and .Dave Chessell were "Mr. and Mrs. Twirp." This dance, which was very successful and enjoyable, was sponsored by the Girls' Athletic Association.
The Social Convenors, Sandra Radermacher and Alan Ionson have spent much time and effort in pro- viding good dances for the students, and certainly should be commended for the excellent job they are doing. Other dances are being planned to round out the Social Activities for the year.
