Social Clubs Holds Banquet And Dance Last Friday, April 17 saw the annual Banquet and Dance of the Dowty Sports and Social Club go off as a sold-out performapce at the club Bayview, Whitby. With a tur- key dinner as an opener, the Man- ager, Mr. R. F. Hunt, with Jack Morse as MC, made presentations to the Dowty cup winners and in- dividual trophies and crests to the team members while Mr, V. Sim- mons presented the Peller Trophy for the runners-up with a silver dollar coronation key chain for each team member. ' Dowty Champs for last season re captained by Mel Paxton with members as follows: Betty Koch, Ross Jackman, Helen Hill, Jan Clarke and Brian Lukyn.

Eves, Horton, Joyce Shephard, Geo. and Frank Evans Trophies then followed for the Ladies High Single being won by Marjorie Schrane, with the Mens High Single taken by Ron Watson. The Ladies high average went to Kay Aig wiih Bob Sutheriand sve! g high for the men. 'axton and Bill Bellhouse won the ies and Mens High Triples. Mrs. Marsh Wilson won the door prize of a mantle radio, after ev- eryone had turned over their chairs to search for the winning ticket. The tables were then moved away and a stage show composed of Dowty talent, with a liberal rinkling of Harry Brock took e. Betty Koch and Muriel Dug- gan appeal as two 'Knights of e Road' complete with sandwich pack and dirty faces. 'Side by Side," with a slick bit of vocal harmonizing was ably emoted by both girls and the costumes were terrific. An old time quartet consisting of Bill Purvis, Ross Jackman, Charlie Briggs and Carl Rogers, as bass, looked very "gay-ninetyish in red and blue striped blazers, with straw hats and mustachios. "The Sider and the Fly," "She is More to be Pitied than Censured," were sung with equal ease by the versatile four. Harry Brock, who spent a lot of time and energy with his four voices, then sat down to some good old time music on the guitar and banjo, while his Irish Bell had everyone tapping in rhythm. The all-girl chorus line then {made an appearance, with Harry |Dowton looking quite eye-catching |{in a lovely wide brimmed felt, |trimmed with what appeared to be | mushrooms and wilted hot-house | flowers. The trim skirts of Messrs. Hugh Campbell, Art Johnston, Brian Lukyn, Bert Hill and Ed Mulligan, accenturated their flash- ing feet as they trotted briskly out on stage to the strains of '"'Take Back Your Mink" and did their bumps and grinds like real show- girls, despite implications and taunts from a then restless au- dience. Jeanne Mills provided piano accompaniment for all these acts and helped to make the show the success that it was. The cast came back for a cur- tain call of '"Thanks for the Me- mories" and won a well-deserved round of applause. Ernie White's band then led the dance for the rest of the evening, being assisted vocally by Muriel Duggan and Bill Purvis, at times. It was a great success and well worth the small admission fee, for two-thirds of the nights cost was absorbed by the Management and the Sports Club to whom the good time had by all was a large measure of the appreciation every- one felt for this kind gesture. So {thanks for a good time, everyone 'and particularly to the Bowling Warehouse Is Ransacked AJAX (Times-Gazette Staff Re- porter) -- Juveniles broke into Building 410 some time during the weekend.
