Under the able supervision of Miss Bell, class teacher, and the room executive consisting of Jack Scorer, Presi¬ dent; Frank Dagg, Vice-President; Dick Anderson, Secretary; and Gordon Petrie, Sports Captain, Room 9 has proved its mettle. Our hockey, football, and basketball teams have been victorious in all Grade IX competitions, and have won many games against Grade X teams. A member of the room who has kept our name prominent in sports is Hugh Allan, goal-keeper for the school hockey team, and a member of the all-star high school team. Besides sportsmen the room possesses such budding Carusos and Tib¬ betts as Tom Daniels, Frank Dagg, Bob Forrest, and Roy McDonald, all members of the Male Voice and Mixed Choirs. Uniting with Room 10 we held three parties, all at the home of Bob Forrest, a classmate. These parties were a huge success, and we look for¬ ward to others before the holidays. The members of our class feel that they have had a very successful year with representatives in all school activities. Well, our allotted time is up. Room 9 is now signing off until next year. Your announcer is Donald Jackson, Room Editor.

56 GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL DOMESTIC SCIENCE Home Economics yES, everyone would understand us if we used the terms “cooking and sewing” but the High School program in Home Economics today is more comprehensive in its training and is planned to give the girls a well-rounded idea of the many factors contributing not only to good homemaking but to worthy home membership. The modern home is complicated, and definite skills are needed and definite knowledge is necessary. It is just as important as ever to know the technique of preparing a luscious beefsteak or putting a bias fold on one’s dress, but it is also important to know how to select that beefsteak and what fabric to choose for the dress. With intelligent marketing must go a knowledge of food values and of fabric values, so we have our food studies and our textile course. With the food study must go hand in hand our food combination, and so we have meal planning and nutrition. With nutrition is linked not only personal hygiene but sanitary surroundings and so our lessons in cleaning have a new significance and interest. The Child Care Study and Home Care of the Sick are important units in the course. Planning how to spend money is a fascinating subject and the budgeting unit is only second in interest to the Family Relationship unit. But perhaps best of all in this course are the individual contacts and co-operation and responsibility that develop day by day in the working out together of the theories planned and discussed. Courtesy, orderliness, and initiative are developed—qualities that are necessary for good citizen¬ ship. When a student has graduated in the course of Home Economics she should fit herself for one of the many openings available in this work. But no matter what line of business a girl intends to take up, she should have the knowledge and ability of Home Economics to be able to manage her own personal and household affairs.
