THE ORACLE 71 with frightful havoc into their own destruction. This, though, is not the fault of the mathematicians or the chemist. It is the product of ruthless dictators foolhardy for fame. Such, however, is eclipsed by the useful ways in which mathematics has been employed. J oHN Momus HOME ECONOMICS The first of the term found our girls busily engaged in the most necessary of domestic achieve- ments-cooking. We shall admit it was not all first-rate, but that is only to be expected as man-y of the girls have not had a great deal of practical experience in cooking in their homes. On the whole, though, the Grade X girls have turned out some very delectable meals. Very likely, most of you have noticed the appetizing aro- mas seeping through the bottom of the Home Economics door on the days when the girls were in the midst of preparing a meal. They have not only showed their aptn-ess in cooking, but also in such lines as laundering, keeping the Home Economics' room clean and tidy, and also sewing. In connection with sewing, the first work attempted this year was in the line of crafts. Hemstitched, linen guest towels were made in very pretty pastel shades. They were cross-stitch, embroidered in contrasting colours, and, when finished, looked very attractive. The next sewing accomplishment was the making of lingerie. It was the daintiest and perhaps the most difficult of all the sewing done so far, this term, as there were many varieties of stitches and seams involved in it. A The Grade X Home Economics girls are also willing Red Cross ff' workers and have completed sol- diers' personal property bags, which were made of either chintz or cretonne. They have now been given the pleasant privilege of making the drapes for the Home Economics Room. This room has not had drapes since the school was built and we are sure they will add even more to its attractiveness. The girls are now in the process of making them, and they are being made in a shade to harmonize with the wall treatments and furnish- ings of the room. They are all hoping the drapes won't take too long as they are planning next on making skirts. After this, the girls are eagerly anticipating such activities as an afternoon tea, a Red Cross Bazaar, and also a mannequin show. CONNIE D1LLoN - THE RE'PORT-CARD EPISODE' 1941 On the night of January twenty Glum faces could be found a-plenty. While Father read, my knees just shook, He passed it to Mother and said, Just look! Then Mother read and said, Why, dear, I thought you were doing better this year. Dad spoke in a voice which made me meek: No more skating three nights a week. Next morning as I came up the walk, I heard an abundance of similar talk, By the time I reached the upper hall, My father and mother were best of all. -ADAM HACKETT
