ATHER around this gay little sewing basket and we shall see if there are more bits of gay material that can be used to patch up the remnants of dreary times. The chief of our sewing staff is the wide-eyed needle Isabel Skinner, leading a long thread of girls through rough ma¬ terial and bright gay material. Those sharp-edged scissors that help our needle to do such a good job is Loreen Stewart. And there is our patching kit. But wait, needle, thread and scissors would make only an ordinary patch if it were not for our numerous bright individual colors in cloth. Gertrude Hutchinson, President of the Dramatic Club, comes from our bolt of sturdy but delicate blue satin. Mary MacKenzie, President of the Glee Club, is a piece of our dainty lace. So you see our merry sewing basket boasts many spools of gay colored thread and numer¬ ous bolts of material all which will make a successful article whatever category you wish to order. Somebody placed their order real early last year—and we produced a play—“A Modern Cinderella.” This was our first contribution toward the School Fund— rather successful too—wasn’t it? Miss Gallagher (business manager) financially speaking, of course. The annual events of the School at¬ tracted the talented social stripes and the sturdy organizing broadcloth. These cus¬ tomary activities which include the entire school, have committees from each class to help plan them. So we were daily represented with our classic silks and exciting jerseys. Adele Gilman and Phyl¬ lis Gallagher, our precious yardage of beguilding ribbons, unwound many a skein and bolt of “sheer silk” and “spun rayon” all of which ended up by pro¬ ducing an enticing evening of black magic. Came Christmas—with its gay colors and haunting songs. Come the concerts— with their new array of “stuff.” Smooth red velvet of Gertrude Hutchinson held as the radiant background of the uproari¬ ous dancing dolls. Fluffy marabou, M. Boose, trimmed this bit, so it held the Christmas spirit in true form. Green, gold, silver and white were the predom¬ inating colors of many varied materials. Sarah Gage and I. Crittendon, our eyelet embroidery piece in clog shoes. G. Grant in bright plaid of Scotland, and E. Hurd and I. Morris lend a “touch” of Ireland in soft muslin. K. Ried and J. Boons of same color of rich blue—our dancing sailors of serge. Soft dreamy waltzing chiffons and laces completed the picture of beauty. A. Maydanyk, E. Richter, K. MacDonald and F. Arcand were the grace¬ ful waltzing show. We were hostesses—or shall we say escorts to the Graduating Class. This, too, is a traditional epic—so we handled it in true traditional style, but with something new to the cut of the model to give it a new and modern touch. This all important design was under the creative skill of soft fine wool, Phyllis Gallagher, and shiny satin Adele Gilman, smooth rayon G. Hutchinson, crisp organdy J. Lanthier. These materials lent themselves well to the new artistic touch. Theatre party and dinner was the resulting design. In tune with the times, “warsages” replaced the corsages—they were war-saving stamps done up in tiny diplomas beribboned with the school colors of blue and gold. Then the eventful morning of Gradua¬ tion is come—and we are to set the at¬ mosphere for the day. New spring prints in the gayest of colors are the forerunners to this new pattern of work and living for these new Grads. G. Roy, G. Hutchinson, and M. Trumble present a riot of colors in silk prints to liven the spirits and budding confidence in the future fashions of design in life. As what shall come in the immediate future—it shall be our “Social event with remuneration”—our participation toward the School Fund. In preview I can tell you only of the bevy of beauty in colors and materials—but not of design which shall go into making something new and exciting. K. MacDonald, A. Maydanyk, M. Funk, I. Morris, and S. Gage—each adding new touches of cut, color and style. (Continued on page 66) 31
