The transformation of one of the classrooms into a lounge by Mr. Boone and his assistants proved to be one of the outstandâ€" ing features of the "At Home". The desks were removed, and rugs, chesterfields, comfortable chairs, lamps, ferns, and paintings all helped to make it a pleasant meetâ€" ing place for old friends. An unusual elimination dance, in which those who attended the school in _ different years were Bull and Freda Druding who were eliminated, was won by George here in 1929. During the interâ€" mission, refreshments were served by Miss Currie and the Senior Home Economics girls.

Many of the girls took the opportunity to wear long dresses, and the flowing skirts added a particularly festive spirit to the ocsasion, Music by Horace Lapp and his | orchestra was smooth and danceâ€" able, and a couple of novelty numâ€" bers including, "Sam, You Made the Pants Too Long," were enâ€" joyed by everyone.

Finally, because the armed forces have made these tests and because they now have the only trained personnel available, the Army and RCAF are the logical choice to conduct Muskox.
