vox COLLEGII ious classes together and spent many happy times in the domestic kitchen dur- ing our formal and informal meals. We have much in our happiness to thank Miss Gibbard for. She came to us as a complete stranger but ere long she was well known and heartily liked by all. In her own work we found her ever ready to help us outside of our hours, and taught us many little touches which add- ed in the appearance of our cooking, etc., and was more than kind when any of her number were ill. On behalf of her four graduates, the Junior Class and the Home Makers, I wish to extend to her our hearty wishes for her future happiness and success. For Cupid has shot his arrow, and our Miss Gibbard shall soon be no more. The Senior Sewing Class had a won- derful exhibit this year. Under the very able supervision of Miss Phelps, the girls had beautifully made silk lingerie and dainty blouses and dresses. Miss Ruth Dixon won the prize for the best cook- ing and sewing in the department, and Miss Muriel Maw won the Gold Medal for the highest standing during the two years in Household Science. The Juniors and Home Makers also had a splendid exhibit in sewing and hand work. Dainty pink silk lingerie was shown as well as hand embroidered towels and socks. Besides these there were beautifully laundei ' ed towels, etc., and books with neatly made patches and darns. ' This work was under the careful supervision of Miss Gibbard, and brought many comments from many who saw them. I am quite sure all those who took any work in the Domestic Department this year will not feel her year wasted, but will think of it rather as a gain to her. and will go home feeling as though she knew a great deal more about the neces- sities of the home, and the things which go to make the home a success. REPORT OF PATRIOTIC WORK. The patriotic work was continued un- der the same type of organization as last year. Circles were formed which met for sewing or knitting on Saturday af- ternoons from 3.30 to 5.30 o ' clock, with the following leaders: — Jessie Bucking- ham, Morden Busby, Marjorie de Pen- cier, Vida Luno, Muriel Maw, Georgian Smith and Hazel Taylor. The honorary members of these circles were : — Miss Granger, Miss Thompson, Miss Emsley, Miss Chantler, Miss Phelps, Miss Ball and Miss Walker. The three circles de- serving special mention for the amount of work accomplished are those led by A ' ida Luno, Georgian Smith, and Hazel Taylor. The total amount of work done during the year by these seven circles was as follows: — Eighteen stretcher caps, ten trench caps, fifteen sheets, sev- enty-four wash cloths, twenty-four hand- kerchiefs, forty-six cotton binders, eight- een cheese cloth handkerchiefs, twenty- two pairs of pyjamas, fourteen ties, thir- ty-six pairs of socks, and nine house- wives, each containing a lead pencil, but- tons, needles, thread, shoe-laces, scissors and some chocolate. These articles were all sent to our soldiers. The folloAving articles were sent to our sailors : — Seven- ty-four pairs of socks, one muffler, and twelve comfort bags, each containing — one pair of socks, one muffler, writing paper and envelopes, cigarettes, playing cards, chewing gum, tooth-paste and tooth-brush. These articles were all made of materials purchased by contri- butions given the circles. Forty-seven pairs of socks were also sent to our sail- ors as Valentines in February. Unor- ganized work of the students, sent for the most part to individual friends, was as follows: — two hundred and seventy- four pairs of socks, seven sweaters, three pairs of wristlets, three scarves and one cap. Unfortunately there is at hand no record of the very large amount of work done by the faculty, nor of the boxes sent overseas by the faculty and stu- dents. FUNDS COLLECTED. Trafalgar Day, Brit.
