Why even the chil- dren that go to school there call the hall Teen Town. Hardly any- one thinks of saying Victoria Hall but just says Teen Town. Its funny how 'things like that just happen. But it certainly is not a |& serious loss, for Teen Town was not in vain. It is the greatest thing that ever happened to the. Oakville Teen-ager. I was talking to Mr. O. Ling, one of the chaper- ons at Teen Town last wesk, and I asked him what he thought-of the town. "Teen Town is wonder- ful," he said, "I enjoy seeing ev- eryone mixing and having a good time." : - The most predominant saying at Teen Town up to date is "Are you going to the Formal?" It's something you can't get away from any more . . . at least since the announcement of the formal. Everyone in Teen Town should be there for it will be the greatest yet! So don't be the poor fellow that takes in a movie instead of the greatest dance of the year. Don't forget it tomorrow night, Dec. 19, starting at 9. And may I, on behalf of Teen Town, wish you a very Merry Christmas.
