Second Meeting The date of the second meeting was December 22nd. The Club did not meet separately this Christmas, as is the usual cus- tom, but aided by the Literary and Dramatic Society, who presented The Coming of Christ, and the Girls' Chorus, who provided the Christmas music, an original program was given. As is the custom at the Yuletide season, vegetables, canned fruit, and other household provisions served as admission tickets. The contributions were generous and helped many needy people. Apples and candy were distributed to the students as they left the hall. Third Meeting An enjoyable half-hour was spent at the third meet listening to Miss Crichton, Director of Household Art, Central Tech., who spoke on Spring' Fashions. This was a timely topic and met with favour amongst the- girls. A record crowd was present. 'k ir at It has recently been asserted that man is a first cousin to the gorilla and the chimpanzee. Here is what sundry members of the student body had to say with regard to this assertion when interviewed by the Echo:- Jim McHugh: Most excellent, but hardly flattering to the taxpayer. Bud Lunney: Pish, tush and why not? Ruth Cohen: I do not know whether the Simian species feel elated at the news. An unnamed member of the staff: I consider it a sinister attempt to undermine the essential dignity of man. x GIRLS' CLUB EXECUTIVE Back Row: N. Miller, E. Warren, O. Gordon, D. Jamieson, V.
