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!
