K.H.S., venturing timidly forth from the comforting security of tradition, participated in an inter-school dance with Nor-Kam providing the first "first" for many a moon and as such it was a fantabulous success. The theme was Hawaiian in both decoration and dress hence everybody came brightly attired in colourful Hawaiian shirts or grass skirts. Larry and the "Swingbeats" provided the music — once again to everyone's delight. Besides being a 'first," it was also a "last" being the final dance of this school term. A most effective way to end an exciting social year.
Dances
Harvest Time Dance
This, the first dance of the year was the Student's Council's get-acquainted event. The gathering was planned to educate the new recruits in the ways of our sophisticated society. Senior students received pumpkins bearing a grade nine student's name. They then dictated to their young charges the costume they were to wear to the dance. Both seniors and juniors came clad in costumes ranging from ragged, unshaven hobos to cute, mushy babies.
The dance was a tremendous success with one of the largest turnouts ever. With the donning of weird costumes, inhibitions disappeared, and everyone had a rollicking good time.
Royal Rag
The "Royal Rag" dance, an annual feature of K.H.S., was as always a success. The dress in keeping with the presence of "royalty" was quite formal. The sources of atmosphere for the evening were the attractive decorations and the humour of the surprise emcee, Mr. Kalyk, and of Mr. Howard who conducted the crowning ceremony.
Highlight of the evening was the announcement of the King and Queen of the Kampus, Jack Buckham and Dianne Bond respectively.
Mr. Howard gave his usual "coronation" speech.
Mad Dance
As a final closing to Leap Year, Pearse House presented a turnabout (girl ask boy) dance with a "mad" theme. The dress was optional either informal or "madsville" though most choose the former. Dim lights, low music and humorous readings of excerpts from Mad Magazine by Bob Ohrazda provided the atmosphere. On the whole the dance was quite successful although the attendance was not quite up to par.
Cupid Capers
"Cupid Capers", which was held on Feb. 10, was a big, bold success. Chief reason for this was "Larry and His Swingbeats" a real live dance-band, with a wide repertoire of "rock N'roll" tunes. Some 200 students swung with the "Swingbeats" amidst a bright profusion of red, white and pink streamers, capering cupids and, paper hearts. Once again couples were predominant in conventional K.H.S. fashion.
Christmas Prom
The Christmas Prom is at the same time the apex of the social arc and the biggest worry on a girl's social calendar. However, both male and female alike look forward to it with tingling anticipation. This year's prom, thanks to our social convener, Dianne Bond, was worth the worry and was a just object of the anticipation. The decorations were marvelous consisting of miles and miles of silver tinsel, coloured lights and snowy Christmas trees.
Congratulations: A splendid effort.
KHS - Shoreline Exchange
During the week of March 19-26, four KHS students spent a week at Seattle in the homes of the four Shoreline High School Students who came to Kamloops. Ambassadors of both schools agree that the Kiwanis-sponsored program was interesting, educational, and, quote, "lots of fun."
