Nominations were then made, el- ections took place, and the reins of government placed into the hands of a very able body. It was noted with satisfaction that thos who had put heart 'and soul oe the endeavour before the elections, were those unanimously placed on the executive. oxox In its infancy, the "Club" pro- vided dancing to the better plat- ters of the best-in-the-hand orches- tras. Now, with increased patron- age and ever growing interest, it offers the Royal Oaks -- the best big little band in the: country. ox x ®t times, planned entertainment is provided for increased interest but it is generally the warm, friendly atmosphere predominating: that causes couples to leave at the end of the evening, with a memo already made, to return next Week. PI At intermission, a lounge just off the dance floor itself is a com- fortable spot to relax for a few ments provided by the adjacent canteen. oxox On November 19th, the "Club" took another step in the right dir- ection by having. a mid-week dance. This proved the most suc- cessful of any yet. Many new faces were noted in the gapacity. crowd proving that tie grape vine carries the best news quickly. * + 'Seeing is believing so they say, so why take someone else's word for it.

Ss Teen Town By Bruce Squires Through the kindess of The Journal, Teen Town has been given a column in this new paper, and so here we go into Little Town or as most of you know it, Teen Town. Last Novem Tan we had a whooped-up time at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The gal brigade was out in full force and how those guys got caught! There were several novelty dances on the agenda. The most important dance of the evening was the spot dance in which a sweater donated by Jack Fraser, and a pair of nylons through the Rindness of Chain- ways. Even though the guys were roped into the dance, everyone had a swell time. PE Well that's a dance of the past and mow here's a dance of the future. On December 19th the Annual Teen Town Formal takes the spot light. The Royal Oaks will do the honours on the sheet music and everyone should have a great time. Also on the Decem- ber date book is a pantomine on the 23rd and 24th by the Oakville | Dramatic Society.
