TALENTS REVEALED AT
LITERARY MEETING
By Clifford Coultes
dent, 1st. and 2nd. Vice-Presidents and
Secretary, besides a representative
from each form. In the hence.; of these
officers rests the functioning of many
school activities besides Literary ,
meetings. They hold a number of dan-
ces each term and plan other enjoy-
able activities.
The first item on our program on
Friday was a very invigorating speech
by our new president, John Lancaster.
In it we were urged and encouraged
to go ahead to make this the best
year so far in the history of our
school activities. "If you have talent,
don't wait for the Literary Society to
ask you, go to your form representa-
tive and tell him your life history" &Aid
John in regard to taking part in Lit- I
erary meeting programs.
After John was finished, Bill Con-
nell in full Highland costume, enter-
tained us with a selection on- his bag-
pipes. H'S responded graciously to an
encore. That music certainly stirred
the Scotch in me, the Scotch blood
that is.
The next item on the program, well,
let's not talk about it, it was me.
A selection on the flute "Sweet
Violets" by John Congram accompan-
ied by Lois Walker on the piano was
much enjoyed.
The girls of the Glee Club then sang
a Thanksgiving hymn very sweetly. •
George Porter gave us a monologue
full of blood and thunder, Velma Bal-
lagh sang a solo, "There must be little
Cupids in the Brine" (not "Barnyard"
as was first announced,) accompanied
by Helen Dickison on the piano. They •
responded to encores with Abba-dab-
ba-dabba." Some mebers of the sen-
ior drama acted out the death of
Minnehaha, with Jim Gaunt as Hie -
wallies Louise Bowman as Nokomis,
and Jean Hobden as the heroine.
Minnehaha, in a way that would
make Longfellow turn over in his
grave, (intentionally of course). Lois
Blair played "It is no Secret" very
beautifully on her accordion. She re-
sponded to encores with our school
song and another one I didn't know.
Lois Walker next played a very beau-
tiful piano solo, after which Gordon
Lane, our journal editor, read his
journal, which proved quite entertain-
ing, containing a gossip column a
yard long. Some very interesting facts I
about many of our acquaintances
were placed before the stern eye of the I
public. Mr, Hall was called upon to
give the critic's remarks. H.' praised
the talent displayed, and trusted that I
we would keep it up.
The meeting was closed with the
singing of "God Save the King."
A buffet luncheon was held in the
church parlours, where the mother
of the bride wore a midnight blue
crepe dress, and winter white acces-
sories with a corsage of pink roses.
The bridegroom's mother chose navy
blue crepe dress and navy accessories
with a corsage of pink carnations.
Mr. and Mrs, Groh left on a motor
trip to Kingston and New York State,
On their return they will reside in
Grimsby.
For travelling the bride chose a
red rust wool gabardine suit with
winter white accessories and a con-
sage of talisman roses.
Local Beauticians
Return from New York
Just returned from New York
aboard a TCA airliner are Mrs. Gra-
ham Adams and Mr, Donald Adams,
local hairdressers, who were members
of the group of 34 Canadian hair-
dressers who flew to New York from
Melton Airport in Toronto on Sun-
day, October 7th., staging a spectular
hair styling contest in the air, The
aim of the contest was to create a
new coiffure for Princess Elizabeth,
in commemoration of her visit to Can-
ada on the same day, and the com-
peting hair designs were judged on
the basis of their suitability for the
personality of the Princess.
The group of hairdressers was or-
ganzied by Mr. Wally Robinson of
Kitchener, Ontario, and was en route
to New York to study advanced hair
design, Because of bumpy flying
weather, the contest, begun in the
airplane, was completed at the Trans
Canada Airlines Terminal at La Guar-
dia Airport in New York, where the
competing hair stylists whipped out
combs, brushes and hair lacquer to
put the finishing touches on their
model entrants before the judging
began. The judges were the non-
participating passengers aboard the
ai rpl an e.
Winner of the contest was Mr. Shel-
don Anderson, proprietor of a beauty
salon in Kitchener, Ontario. He
created the coiffure en his wife, Ann,
who was his model.
The winning coiffure, titled "The
Princess Elizabeth Coiffure," es a neat
hair-do, with waves flowing back
from the forehead, and with a border
of soft curls.
