DRESSMAKING AND MILLINERY ‘ ‘ The beauty seen is partly in him who sees it. ’ ’ 1S1 BOAD open spaces of green with clumps of trees and shrubs jg]j | scattered here and there and winding paths that lead up the hill; sunshine on the brick walls and arched doorways of the Institute; the wide granite steps where groups of students gather to discuss school problems or social activities; young and old, juniors and seniors, all wending their way in the same direction to the top of the hill where stands the building we all know so well. These are memories which many of our students will take with them when they complete their work this year; two years of friendship and experience with a background of all they have put into the doing of things well, they go bravely into the world to face the problems of life. The students in the senior year have worked hard mid have accomplished much in their chosen field. They have played leading parts or co-operated in social activities and we anticipate great things from them in the future. The class of ’38 is well upholding the traditions of the past and we hope to see many of the students back next year. They are eager and able to carry heavy loads for many of them have finished High School and some have had a taste of the business world. They too have entered enthusiastically into social and group activities. We appreciate the fine co-operation we have had with the busi¬ ness houses of the city. Many of our ex-students have been accepted to fill full or part-time positions in stores and manufacturing plants. When you, our students of ’37 leave your classes for the last time, may you be able to say we have helped you in at least three ways. One is how to make a living. The second is how to live properly in relation to your fellow men. The third is how to enjoy doing the first two. MISS 0. E. SMITH, Department Head. Page twenty-five

THE IOTA CLUB 4. Phyllis Taylor TOLLOWiNG the Hallowe’en Party at which ilrst and second JJ] year girls of the Institute became better acquainted, a meeting was held for the purpose of reorganizing the Iota Club for 1938-39. This took the form of a tea followed by a business meeting. The following officers were elected: Honorary President . President. Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer . Educational Convenor Social Convenor. Athletic Convenor .... . . Miss C. E. Smith . Helen Mudie . Phyllis Taylor . Thelma Rollag . Edith Jones . Alice Schmidt . Eleanor Williamson .Peggy Craig The social activities of the club have taken the form of skating parties followed by dancing and refreshments. A dance was held m the Assembly Hall on March 10, to raise funds to help pay for the piano which was purchased for the use of the members. The club is making plans for the annual party which will be the closing event of the year. This year the members supported enthusiastically, many varied programs. Mrs. J. K. Penley, of the Penley Dancing Academy, agreed, once again, to address the first meeting on “Ballroom Etiquette,’’ “Technique of Modelling,” and “Posture.” Miss M Fawdry, the well-known photographer, traced the history of this work from the earliest times up to the present. Those who were privileged to hear Mis Fawdry felt that a very profitable evening had been spent. The tour of the Albertan Publishing Company proved in¬ teresting and educational. The interest in the meetings of the club has been demonstrated by the large number of members who attended. We trust that as time permits, other successful meetings will be held. The girls are particularly grateful to Miss Smith for her con¬ tinued interest in this activity.
