'Girls Plan OCCI Dance | | BY ANNE MARIE RATZ | OCCI REPORTER | One of Central's biggest an- nual dances will be held this |Friday, Mar. 13. The Girls' |Athletic Association is sponsor- jing it and the theme is southern colonial, the name of the dance |being "Cotillion."" Preparations for this event are well under- way. The decoration committee is headed by Carole-Anne Haber jand the food committee by EI- }eanor Ritzie. In addition to the regular prizes offered, the |dance will also features an el- |aborate buffet. The usual centre - piece will now be a side piece with a pill- ared patio, weeping willow and wishing well, set up at one end of the gymnasium, all in south- ern plantation style. The pre- dominant colors will be shades of purple with white. Our 'Miss Central'? will be chosen at this event and the voting will be done during school hours on Friday, rather than at the dance as in previous years. The pictures of the form representatives for Miss Central are being displayed in a glass showcase. and the girls them- selves are wearing identifying purple and white bows. The votes will be tallied and the winner announced at ten} o'clock. She will be crowned by last year's Miss Central, Sylvia Szikszay and handed a bouquet of red roses. The runners-up will receive pink gladiolas and car- nations with purple mums. This is a dress-up "invitation'"' dance and we hope to see every- one there. ew Many Stars To Play F - A 20-year-old' Toronto youth or arl y was Monday fined $50 and given a six-month licence suspension : .jafter Oshawa Magistrate's Hockey fans will Tecognize| Court was told the car he was names. like Gordie Myles and| driving was chased by police |George Samolenko. jalong Highway 401 at speeds up These are just two of the to 100 mph. leva ; ;,| George S., Farmer, of 40 players who will be featured in Richard avenue, was told by la benefit hockey game at the!
