The Christmas Formal
"Aren't, the decorations bee-oo-tee-
ful? Look at the darling snowman!"
Such were the remarks made by the
many students who attended the
annual Christmas dance on December
22, 1955, in the school auditorium. It
was truly a gala event. .
The auditorium was artistically
decorated in purple and white stream-
ers attached to a !hoop in the
were of-the ceiling from which were sus-
pended silver stars. Gaily. adorned
Christmas trees with coloured lights
provided an atmospheric setting for
the festive season. A very eye-
catching' attraction was "Frosty the
Showman," standing on a rink sur-
rounded with • fluffy white snow.
Rudolph, the red-noSed 'reindeer ills°
added a seasonal touch. At the
entrance stood an arbour covered
with- pine boughs. An added feature
this, year was ' the lunch table from ,
which sandwiches and punch could he
obtained at anytime during the dance,
Maey of , us will remember 'the tasty
punch. • Many thanks are due to the
decorating and lunch committees in
their efforts in promoting the success
of the dance,
The Esquire dance band delighted
everyone with their lively and original
renditions.
• I'M sure a good time was' enjoyed
by all. , •

Describes New Wing
Mrs. Morrey'; hospitaladministratrix,
addressed the' meeting and congratu-
lated the ladies 'on their successful
year. She mentioned the fact that
Wingham is. purely a district hospital;
prepared to care.for all people in the
surrounding area. Explaining. that a
"chronic" wing, is ,designed to care
for these who are hospitalized for a
long time and whose progress may be
slow, she said , the word ,.is often mis-
understood. A .patient is not neces7
sadly there to stay; they are helped co
get away from '. the idea of sickness
and to help themselves.. Thereis a
small dining-room ,n this wing whigh
patients are -encouraged to use, as soon
as. they are able As there are 'pow 84.
patients in the hospital, Mrs. Morrey
hoped that many would soon be moved
into the new 'tang. Then the third
floor will be renovated and will be-
come a medical'"ai'ea 'as' it was origin-
ally intended...,
Another spryiee'. carried on by the .
hospital of the public knows
very little was :explained by Mrs.
Morrey. This is the work that is done
in co-operation with the Children's
Aid Society in caring, for children.
until such time as they are addpted.
This plah • stetted eleven years', ago
and since that time, 176 little babies
and 26 families of children, all wards
of the G A. S. have been looked after
by, thiS hospital. 'In fact, this is the
only hospital' in Ontario rendering
such a service, Fer example, 'Mrs.
Morrey told 'of a night when eight 1•1 children from one family were taken
in and given' care until such time as
other arrangements could be made.
The Children's Aid does all the legal
work, provides clothing and plans all
adoptions. Today, there, are seven of
these babies in the hospital. Mrs. John
McKibben thanked Mrs. Morrey for
her informative - talk, Following this,
Mrs. Wilfred Henry with Mrs. W. W.
Currie at the piano, sang the solo,
"The Sunshine of 'Your Smile."
W. I. Itepresentatlises Present
Invitations 'had• been sent to the
neighbotiring , Women's Institutes to
attend the meeting* and representa,
tives were there from Bluevale, Brus-
sels, Teeswater and Wroxeter, On
their behalf, Miss Ruby Duff, of Blue-
vale, thanked the Wingham ladies for
their hospitality.
McNitiney expressed her ap-
preciation td the executive and mem-
bers for thciir work and support dur-
ing' the year, She mentioned that, as
this atixille\y Was organiZed in Ode-.
her, 1906, this is the .50th anniversary,'
