The most surprising thing about Jack Lynch‘s Surprise party was that it was a surprise. That night we polished u8 that beautiful old Classic "The Old ‘Coke‘ (?) Bottle."

Who was with whom? _ For tiat matter, what difference does it make? The three that I shall rip apart (who said that?) were super fun. Bob Langmuir‘s house, a,la campagne, (that‘s French for out in the sticks) held most of Weston‘s elite, the Saturday before Christâ€" mas. Quite a party. The Men, and I use the term loosely, played the most intrigueing game in the rec‘ room, They used sticks and little coloured balls, but no one would explain the game to me. The gang met again at Buzz Barker‘s New Year‘s Eve. Toboganning first, then dancing till the wee small hours. Tom must have been dancing in his bare feet because he kept Eoiting a "sliver in his foot." Ken The holiday parties have not been gone into in much detail (in this column, that is) so I guess I can take a whirl at them. _ The same New Year‘s reminds me. Has our gossip ¢olumn got a rival?

But a couple of things about to happen before then are "The Winter Carâ€" nival" and "Music and Drama Night." Concerning the carnival, we send our congrats to the carâ€" nival queen, "Babs" Grainger, and her attendants, Beryl Anderson, Marion Aitcheson, Myrna Perry and Jean Hart. We hope you are all looking forward to it. By the way, how many of you have sold your quota of tickets yet? But now let‘s leave that and hear something about "Drama Night." As you read in this column before, the play is entitled "Lena Rivers." But here‘s something you haven‘t read before. Yessireeeâ€"the list of characters (of the play that is) and an idea of the play. no. 10, no. 25, no. 28, and so on umtil all contestants had walked across the stage once only to find that this ordeal had to be repeated. After the 40 contestants had finâ€" ished their second parade before the judges, the judges, Mary Prior, Ken Watts, Greg McKelvey, Mr. Templeton, Miss Leckie and Mr. Pink) retired to an adjoining room to cut the 40 down to 20. During this interval we were entertained by Jimmy Hawkins wno sang two selections. The judges had to work this process of elmination until they arrived at 10 contestants. From 10 beautiful girls, the Job was to select 5. When I say a job I really mean it? What with Myrna Perryâ€"a darkâ€"haired, alert girl of H12, Jean Hart a lucious blonde from C10, Babs Grainger and the newcomer Bery! Anderson from "13B"â€"need I say more and last but far from least Marian Aitchison â€" a ised. _ darkâ€"haired second former IPr%m "Woodbridge." The judges, however, overcame this very difficult task with the selection of "Babs" Grainger as the "Snow Queen" (she‘s in "13B") with the aformentioned girls as her court. This group of "royal" pulchritude will have many things crowded into their lives. These next few weeks. Films will be used up with pictures, pictures and still more pictures along with radio appearances and participation in the Annual Carnival on January 24. So to the royal group lots of luck and you deserved your winâ€" nings; to the losers, remember you‘re still the tops! Thursday night, Jan. 9, after school found the auditorium of "ye old WCVS" packed to the exits with excited students. The reason ? The judging of the Snow Queen (natch). Who would it be? Someâ€" one from C10, "13B" 11A? It could be anyone. Every form in the school was represented in the auditorium along with a group of interested teachers. The judges had taken their place. ‘The Rerade was on, no. 17, ‘Babs‘ Grainger Chosen To Rule ‘¥7 Snow Queen DRESS CIRCLE NOTES By "MYRT" GRAINGER TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON When he stopped his car for a traffic light near the Queen Elizaâ€" beth Way, Malcolm McDuffey of Milton, picked up two young men who thumbed a ride ostensibly for Toronto.

The game was rather slow as most first games of the season are, but still it was not without incident. The only play ending in a score of the blue and white was started late in the first period_by the young but fast forâ€" ward John Grant. Grant, after adâ€" vancing the puck, shot it up the boards to &uck Hurren who passâ€" ed it neatly to Len Galloway who occupied the comfortable position immediately in front of us. Runnyâ€" mede met. Talloway in his exciteâ€" ment caught the pass on his skate and for what seemed like an indeâ€" finite period of time continued to stumble over it. Meanwhile, Redâ€" men were swiftly closing in for the check. Finally Len managed to free himself and backâ€"handed the rubâ€" ber into a corner of the net, about 3 inches from the ground and 1 inch from the post. A perfect play ? l The "Snow Queen", Barbara "Babs" Grainger, chosen from among 40 The stars for Weston were Chuck Hurren, and Larry Johnston, goal. (Even . the referee, Lefty ‘hard, played well, when he was standing up, that is). While 3 goals did escape Larry, his coach said that he just didn‘t have a good enough team in front of him. This situation should be cleared with a little more practice.

PICKUPS ARE DANGEROUS This is spirit, when it comes from 105 lbs. The other captains, Art Callan Jupiorf and Fink Chatd of the Mid: gdts, did equally good jobs and ... , . they hit, It was the roughest tackle anyone would care to see, and Smubbins was underneath. Naturally the team came running to pick up the pieces and what should they hear the 105 1b. Snubâ€" bins say as he untangled his hind legs but. , .. "Ya better watch out, son or I‘ll merder ya!" After a delicious dinner (as is always served by Mrs. Charles), Mr, Worden introduced the Senior captain, Gregg McKelvey, who folâ€" lowed with a humourous and inâ€" formative address, He claims that the funniest play in ‘46 occurred at Scarbora. The Scarbora backfield was big â€"really big, and the biggest among them was the tailback, and late in the fourth quarter they were playinf rather hard since they were losing to a nothing score.

Recently our music editor exâ€" pressed the opinion that swinging the classics brought the classics to the attention of the ordinary popâ€" tune lovers, As an example he took Chopin‘s Polonnaise. It is very doubtful if people who listen only to such slush as "Till the End of Time" would pay any attention to the classics. There is a very great wealth of original popular songs without paying any attentiofl to popularized classics issued by cheap unoriginal commercial song writâ€" ers. It‘s coming to Weston. In fact two are: two classical music clubs, one for the lovers of symphonic music and one for the lovers of swing classics or if you prefer jazz. These clubs will hold record sessions on Sunday afternoons and will also try to secure special SEeakors and live talent. For furâ€" ther details concerning time and place watch this paper. King of Swing may go to Ryssia. At present plans are underwa& for a proposed tour of Russia by Benny Goodman.
