The New Year’s Eve party was called the “friendliest ever” by the Star. Yonge Street was a riotous party. A York University student was driving a little yellow car up Yonge Street and the traffic was so slow she had time to talk to the reporter on the sidewalk. Women wore long party dresses — then in vogue — and young men danced on the roofs of their friends’ cars. A Salvation Army preacher said that Yonge Street reminded him of Sodom and Gomorrah, “the infamous biblical cities known for wickedness and vice.” But it wasn’t clear that he was talking about New Year’s Eve.
