Second Annual Fashion Show
Makes Hit With Menz Women
By Bernice Decide
Last Wednesday evening, Mar.
14, the Beta Sigma Phi present
ed their second annual Fashion
Show in the auditorium of the
high school. Spring flowers made
a pretty stage setting for the
lovely models. Miss Anna Brock
was the women's commentator,
and Mr. Doug Knowles gave a
man’s version of both men's and
women’s fashions.
To the strains
melody, "Here
Cottontail”, little
tail (Susan Dinney) appeared to
put; the audience into the Easter
mood.
Vici-Lynne Cooper and shy
little Sheila Bonnallie got the
show off to a good start by dis
playing their pleated skirts in
white and pink with green
sweaters. Bonny Doerr displayed
with pride her navy shorts and
red blouse for sports wear.
The first adult costumes
shown were lovely housecoats in
taffetas, plaids, and flannels.
Doug made the remark that
“women lounge all morning any
way, so they might just as well
look nice doing it”. If all wo
men looked as pretty as these
models, then they would have
reason to lounge!
Any woman would delight in
wearing the trim, neat, and at
tractive cottons displayed for do
ing the morning work. Mrs. E,
Russell modelled a lovely crisp
frock in the newest orange col
our for spring. This along with
the other blues, reds and greens
would make any man notice
attractive wife.
Mrs. D. Knowles showed
newest in outdoor wear in
brown gabardine slacks and
coral sweater, while Mrs. J.
Fulcher chose grey gabardine
•slacks and a check blouse.
There were whistles through
the audience as Miss Norma Wil
son donned a neat pleated grey
blue skirt over which she wore
a grey shorty coat. A red silk
hanky brightened up the outfit
and gave it a dash of colour.

Nylon, the new wonder

ed out that these were especially
valuable because they are so
easily laundered and ironed,
making them practical for the
thrifty woman of today.
Men are in fashion too,
five able gentlemen—Jack

Pollen—showed the "newest”
men. Light weight jackets with
trim gabardine slacks were styled
for sports wear. Corduroy and
swede were excellent in the
sports field too. Randolph navy
swede shoes are "the” ones to
go with the rest of the costume.
For "dress up” occasions, the
men wore smooth suits in fine
light weight wool with neat fit

long gown with a tucked bodice
and side drape accent. The pink
nylon net strapless was dainty
and beautiful with its ballerina
length skirt. This was very prac
tical because there was a bolero
to wear with it for less formal
occasions.
The highlrght of the evening
