Despite a progressive thaw, fog and steady rain, the students carried out their original plans with gusto, verve and enthusiasm. Divided into their four house leagues they tobogganed, played volleyball and "slush" (grass) hockey under conditions more suited to water polo or wading. Moving inside to the auditorium they engaged in more strenuous activities--races, games and several powerful tugs-or-war. During these events the judging of ice sculptures was carried out. The entries were two monstrous figures, Yo-Yo and Debilman, an igloo, and a model of the school building. Mrs.Audrey Ferguson and Mrs. Jewel Scott selected the figure of Yo-Yo, built by Pat Simmer and George Dashkewytch's group, as win- ner.
