53 i The PORCUPINE QUILL 1 skated on the High School Rink after the dinner. During the Christmas holidays, the High School Dance was held for the graduate stu- dents of the school. The Household Science girls were again called upon to cater for this party. They prepared dainty sandwiches, cakes and coffee and helped to serve the food. One morning in the cooking period the SIII class prepared food suitable for a re- ception. The pupils of the class acted as guests, with the exception of three girls, the hostess and her two assistants. Gwen Thompson made a charming hostess and re- ceived her guests in the dressmaking room. Tea was poured by Desneiges Morin who Was assisted by Maureen Baker. The girls en- joyed this very much and were assured that they were now capable of entertaining their friends at a reception. JANET GARROW Hospitality sitting with g1adness Most of us girls iron our sweaters with an iron don't we? Well I don't: I use a much simpler and quicker method. This is it. After washing a sweater, I place it on a clean towel over a rug. Then I stretch the sweater to its ori- ginal size and shape, and pin another towel over it as tightly as possible, When the sweater is dry, it is ready for use-and without bothering about an iron, because the towel pinned over the sweater irons it.

So you and your family -are coming to Tim- mins next month! I am so glad to hear that you are interested in a business course. I have been taking a splendid course at the Timmins Vocational School, and I know you will love it. The work is covered in two years and the choice of subjects has been found to be very practical in the light of modern business re- quirements. I don't think I am exaggerating when I say that our graduates are truly em- cient. You see, we are drilled so carefully in the subjects necessary for any business office, and in English, Geography, History and Econ- omics, that we just oan't help being com- petent and intelligent stenographers when we are iinished. play to you: but We have our moments of fun as Well. I have another year to spend, and believe it or not, I am really looking for- ward to it. We have to work, there is no doubt about that, but then it is work that is really worth While, and in the end we are well rewarded for our efforts. When you have taken enough shorthand it is great fun to try and take down the latest song hits over the radio. My advice, Anne, is for you to take this course at our school. I know you will never regret it. Please let me know when you are leaving and I shall arrange to meet you at the train.
