At the Cabaret du College, Raymond Ouimet, Régine Datremont, Gerald Laboissiere, and Pierre Palud (seated at the table) are joined in a toast and a song by a traveling pack of Voyageurs who led people in sing songs throughout the night. Standing are Gisele Philippot, Jean-Pierre Dubé, Louis Dubé (whose expression could not be any better if he tried), Michael Langlois, Lina Legal, and Joanne Bonlet.
