TERRACE BAY PROM SMASH SUCCESS 3 July 1947 p2 Well, folks, the Ball is over, the Terrace Prom is a thing of the past but the whole town is still talking about it. The strains of "QO Canada" brought to an end the biggest and best social event in Terrace Bay's history. -Who will ever forget the look of astonishment on Al Royal's face as Hellzapoppin men of the dance committee showered him with cornmeal, or the fantastic spectacle of Ken Duncan and Ches. Sarich being carted around the dance floor in a concrete buggy to serenade Terrace Bay and Schreiber revellers during the intermissitén. But Let's begin at the beginning. The Terrace Prom was presented under the auspices of Fred Soughton's Recreation Department. The dance committee, headed by Bob Sheppard and Dr. L. Roberts, consisted of J.T. Corbett, C.J. Sarich, Roger Morris, Ken Duncan and Jim Whyte -- other names could be added to swell this list; in fact the Prom is an example of an all-out community effort. We could mention theladies of the Townsite, who provided delicious sandwiches and cakes; or the drovew of volunteers who laboured with streamer and thunb tack to make the new Recreation Hall into a night club wonderland, complete with decorated tables; or Bob Labosiere, ~°= arti the artist responsible for the original sketches on the Rec. Hall walls; or Em. Lavender who organized the Schreiber end of things; or Tom Belch who suffered for the cause to the tune of one butterscotch pie in the face and a thorough soaking by Hellzapoppin men; or Dick Rigby, who supplied the truck for Mr. Shea's bagpipe barnstorming of the Townsite. We might well note, too, that Dr. Roberts was a sort of moving spirit behind the whole affair. Here are a few more of the people behind the scenes: Jim Roberts who was in on script writing and decorations; Schreiber merchants, who displayed signs and sold tickets; John lutecky, Jack Trist and John Cook, who handled all the odds and ends. The point is, the Prom went over with a bang. About ninety couples attended, including a wedding party from Schreiber. As you stepped out of the miserable rain into the gala atmosphere of the Prom, a smiling committee man presented your lady with a lovely rose and welcomed you to the Prom. You chose a table and danced to a carefully selected p program of top-notch records. If you were lucky, M.C. Bob Sheppard presented you with a spot-dance prize. Hellzapoppin men soon had you to the point where you expected somethingfantastic to happen any minute. Highlights of the evening's entertainment were two skits: "Terrace Bay Divided", feaburing J.T. Corbett as Senator Limberkey; and, "John's Other Mother", starring Dave Stanley as the reader of commercials for M.U.D. -- "Mud", the soap that does nothing. When the dance ended at 2:00 p.m., guests reluctantly departed and demands were heard on all sides for another on the same scale in the near future. The financial statement for the Prom will appear in next week's edition of the news. Our thanks go out to all who helped to make the "Prom" a smash success.
