NW gif THE TEA BISCUIT CONTEST On the sixth of September, a tea bis- cuit contest, open to all Grade 10 Home Economics students of Ontario High Schools, Collegiate Institutes, Technical and Vocational Schools, was held at the Toronto Exhibition. Our team, trained by Miss McDonagh, practised faithfully during the summer months. ln checking over our equipment at the exhibition grounds, we found to our consternation that the other participants were using a smaller biscuit cutter. After a fruitless search, we were greatly relieved to find that the lady in charge had an extra one. The teams looked very attractive in their white, freshly-starched uniforms and we watched their methods very care- fully, taking heed to new ideas and learning by their faults.

We did not expect to come home with laurels but we did return with the satis- faction of a day well spent and we later learned that out of thirty-five entries in Hia the province, we ranked ninth with eighty-one percent. -MARJORIE BRUBACHER AND MARGARET LUTz ., THE DRAMATIC CLUB PRESENTS OH PROFESSOR!

There were some ex- ceptionally heavy parts but the cast took everything in its stride and presented a worthwhile comedy which pleased large audiences both evenings. One striking feature of the show was the characterization of the Professor- alias Bruce Ruppel--who appeared to have been built for the part, and his costume effects seemed to put him right in there . And then weire not forgetting our heroine with a delicate peach-like complexion, beautiful lines and little left to be desired in the person of Glenn Watson representing a female col- lege student.
