BY JOHN DENU
Asked for their thoughts of
our recent formal, we received
a wide range of opinions from
those who had attended the
dance. Generally, their con-
tnents were favourable, espe-
cially concerning the decora-
tions. Special congratulations
and thanks to everyone who
gave so much of their time and
effort into this aspect of the
prom.
Joanne Sutcliffe had this to
say: "I really enjoyed it. The
decorations provided a good at-
mosphere. It was fun to get
dressed up for a change. "
"It was a very good dance.
It brought out the gins' femin-
inity. They usually wear slack
to the dances. "�-Doug Mahood.
"I enjoyed it because the
decorating was good. I think
the band was good but the y
could have been better prepar-
ed. The fast dances added to
the dance. I think there should
have been more tables set up
if there was more room because
during the intermission a lot of
people had to stand. "--Julie
Burke.
"1 liked it. The band was
really good.. There should have
been more time for 'dancing.
They took too much time for
lunch. "--John Haasnoot.
"1 liked it. The band was
good. The decorations could
have been better. I didn't like
that pumpkin deal. "--Brock
Campbell.
"I liked the big pumpkin
and I heard the punch was good
but I didn't get any. The band
was HARDLY appropriate for
the occasion. "--Barbara Lillow.
"I thought the band was
very good. It played the fast
songs slow. There was a real
good crowd. The decorations
were fantastic. I think' it's. the
best formal I've ever been to. "
.f -John Lizmore.
"I thought it was beautiful.
They put a lot of effort into the
decorations and it showed. It
was terrific. "--Nancy Whytock.

The nice weather a couple of weeks ago prompted Mr.
Gnay to give one of his biology classes fresh air and sun-
shine, so the students moved outdoors for the. period.
New Bell System
Unless it is lunch time or
dismissal time, it's not often
that you find students racing
down the halls. Such was the
unusual sight last Friday with
the initiation of the new bell
system. Previously, students
straggledi into classes several
minutes late,, lamenting that
they had to travel all across the
school in order to reach their
destinations. This- just can 't.be
done in two minutes.
The authorities have realized
this and have done something
about it. With the new bell .
system, a five, minute warning
bell rings before the end of the
class. All classes are promptly
dismissed at the sound of the
next bell. We are given four
minutes to reach our next class
and as Mr. Madill mentioned,
on occasion we will have to
hustle a bit. ,
On Friday, we found how
true this was, • Students having
}to journey to classes at the oth-
C er end of .sc}ogl„were 1Jterally�;
panting down the halls, and
overjoyed teachers watched
with ieculiar smerks on their
faces. With this extra alott-
ment of time, we are allowed •
to get drinks between classes
but stragglers w ill b e sent
straight to the office for late
slips --no excuses permitted!
If nothing else is achieved, the
students will either develop
great physical fitness, or a lot
of black marks in detentions!
