SCORE ANOTHER, SUCCESS •
Thegirls of the Lucknow and District
High School under the capable and ima-
g
' tutoring
'of the Home
Economacs
teacher, Mrs Laural Hewitt, have scored
another praiseworthy success.
On Thursday night the \ capacity of the
spacious school auditorium was far over
taxed for the, presentation or the' annual
fashion show, which has become a tradi-
tiona n widel acclaimed event.
• The mere male, who hesitates to admit
that he is interested in such things, was
conspicuoinly present andgreatly imPres—
. .
sed. The array of winter and summer at-
tire, for:, both casual and party wear, which
was made and :*modelled by these* young
High School studenfs, was really amazing.
But the development of this art of
sewing and designing is not the only facet ,
of the course. The climax, in the form of
the 'fashion show, contributes to poise,
• good posture and confidence. . ••
The preparation for and presentation
of this school "show case.", cannot but
develop an excellent teacher/pupil rela-
• tionship, a. sense ,of:accomplishment, and
of :School spirit and pride.
And not to be discounted is the moral
building :assurance of being well dressed,
in contrast to the too -often slovenly fashion
dictates of the day, That Lucknow District
High .School students have a realization of •
that well-dressed satisfaction, is the fact
that regulady . during the schoolterm they
• observe dress -up day. •
•
' Their Thursday night modelling present-
•' ation, interspersed with excellent musical
numbers by students, is something of Which
thefstaff and students. can be justly proud.
