e The Coronation Tga - by Jean Campbell Gr. XI A nCoronation Tean was held on Tuesday, May 26 from 3 to 4.30 p.m. in the home economics room. The girls of grades eleven and twelve were entertaining their mothers, teachers and the wives of the members of the school board. At three o'clock the hostesses Nan Scott, Joan Lowe and Jean Clowes took their places near the door ready to guests. It had been raining and we wondered if very up, but shortly after three o'clock our guests began The home economics room had been decorated welcome their many would show to arrive. along the Coronation theme. Blue and red crepe paper, with gold shields and crowns adding a decorative touch, disguised the blackboards. The usual bouquets of flowers were about with the addition of flags. The dining-room table, decorated with a small coach surrounded by tiny flags, made a gracious setting for the two girls who For several days prior to this, our little poured tea. homemakers, under the supervision of Miss McPhedran, had been preparing for this event. The home economics room was spic and span and delicious aromas were permeating the corridors from the kitchen making the mouths of passers-by water. Finally everything was ready D the cookie tins has been filled to their brims and the refrigerator with sandwiches. The students anxiously awaited the arrival of their guests soon to fill the room with a beeehive of activity. Shortly after fourethirty when the last guest had gone, the inevitable stack of dishes remained but before starting to work again we were to have our turn to taste the products of our labours. Our repast was by no means meagre for there was an abundance of food remaining. We all hope that our tea was a success and that our guests enjoyed themselves as much as we did.
