The costumes were supplied by the Educational Division of Do- minion Simplicity Limited. Their fashion stylist, Miss Dionne Johnston, gave the commentary and students mod- elled the garments. The show featured careful se- lection and planned co-ordina- tion to give mileage and va- riety to the teen-age wardrobe. Miss Johnston suggested that before a girl chooses a pattern she should take an honest look at herself. She should study styles and fabrics and select what suits her hest. All costumes modelled were from patterns that are readily available and Canadian made fabrics. Carol Robinson provid- ed appropriate organ music throughout the show. Betty Sharbaeh appeared in the first of the Magic Two- somes. The flattering pink skirt and matching sleeveless jacket were worn with a printed long-sleeved blouse. The ja- cket was lined with the same material as the blouse. Susan Wormington wore a pink, slightly flared wrap- around skirt, also called the coachman skirt, trimmed with six large white buttons at the front and an inverted back pleat. There was a cardigan blouse to match. The jacket from the first ensemble could be worn with Susan's outfit. A pretty two-piece ',umber, in petal pink, modelled by Doris Ross, was recommended as an easy pattern for beginners. The full, wrap-around skirt, an ex- cellent cover-up for shorts. had daisy chain trim around the bottom which was also used with eyelet as trim for the blouse. Linda Turvey wore Jamaica shorts with a simple blouse and matching head scarf. As a cover-up for the shorts she wore a white duck skirt with a front -tie belt to match the blouse. Mad Mexicolors Daring color combinations were shown in the Mad Mexi- colors section of the show. The culottes modelled by Anne Mc- Kercher were designed as a flattering skirt for those a little heavy below the waist. When the buttons are undone the wearer is ready for tennis A sleeveless printed blouse of orange, sungold and curry, and casual shoes with sling heels completed the outfit. Lynn Whitfield's terrycloth jumper dress was gay in deep sea blue and white stripes, with large patch pockets. It could be worn with or without a blouse, or over a bathing suit. A large straw hat with a wide sea blue chiffon band and streamers, navy and white vil- lager shoes enhanced the loose - fitting dress. A novel use for border print was seen in Eileen Reid's shift, made with the border running vertically. Side slits at the hemline for walking ease and no sleeves indicated a cool, com- fortable style for summer. The neckline for this one-piece shift may be adapted to the wearer, square, V-neck or ba- teau. Geometric designs in gay col- ors on Sailmate cloth were used for the attractive jumper dress worn by Nancy McPherson. Large grass green pockets were matched by trim at the neck- line and armholes. This gar- ment was designed to be worn with a blouse for the jumper look, or as a simple dress. The third group was a selec- tion for beginners to sewing. While simple to .make, with easY sewing instructions includ- ed with the patterns, these gar- ments were very attractive. Lynda Schropshall appeared in a blue and shell pink striped skirt and long-sleeved jacket with an overblouse of shell pink. The accent was on side gathers in the skirt. The jack- et was lined to match the over- blouse and when reversed added a second outfit for the ward- robe. Jacqueline Saint modelled a one-piece dress in blue Calypso crepe which was a perfect choice for the beginner since there are only side and shoul- der seams. A large patch pock- et trimmed with flowers gave the simple garment a classic look, especially when worn with a straw hat with matching blue trim. For the taller, slimmer look, a paisley print cotton dress with short sleeves and rounded neckline was suggested. The dress may be worn with or without a self -belt. Mary Phil- lips wore a headscarf of the same material and red jumbo rick -rack braid trim with this dress. A smart choice for spring was the three-piece ensemble worn by Anne Holt. White gabardine pants and a bright red, white and blue overblouse with but- ton front were topped with a white gabardine cape. The cape had navy trim on the pockets and collar, and navy buttons. It was lined with the same ma- terial as the overtop. Boots made with tops to mateb were a big hit with the girls. A versatile navy dress and red, white and blue coat en- semble was modelled by Val- deane Noble. The coat, belted or without a belt, was buttoned down the front and could be worn as a dress. The navy shift belted dress made a smart basic that could be worn front spring to fall and was shown with and without the coat, and with the white cape from Anne Holt's outfit. Tall and Slim Simple but very becoming were a jumper dress that could be worn with a pretty print blouse, shown by Donna Fergu- son, and a white shift with skipper navy trim and match- ing hat that was designed to be worn in several ways, modelled by Shirley Ross. These gar- ments 'ave a tall. slim look. Elizabeth Stokes' shortwaist dress was made from a pattern for proportioned sizes. The chalk white pinstripes stood out against a charcoal background. A bright accent was added with a hot pepper red scarf and bracelet. The party dresses were shown last. Esther Kerr .modelled a power blue A line dress with Empire waist and ~white lace trim. It featured inverted pleats on either side and a slightly scooped neckline. Doris Ross appeared in a bil- lowy aqua and blue floral cotton trimmed with willow green at the armholes and the neckline which continued down the back seam. The baby doll look was af- fected by puff set-in sleeves and Empire breast in crease re- sistent cotton with a knit ap- pearance. This dress, with hack how. was worn by Beverly Hors - burgh. The last model was Gail Wil- son in a pure white cotton dress with fitted bodice and billowing skirt, suitable for graduation, semi -formals or as a sun dress, The dress and pretty cover-up eyelet jacket looked fragile, but were made of machine washable cotton. Miss Johnston was introduc- ed by Miss R. Pfohl and was thanked by Miss Dorothe Com - her, home economics teacher at the school. IMPERSONATORS—Cheerleaders at a staff vs. student basketball game at the high school last week were seven teachers (or should we say seven students imperson- ating staff members.

Yui Student-Teacuer Game The big event last week, ex- cluding dismissal every day was the student -teacher basketball game. Over the years this con- test has become an established institution. The game pitted a team of male teachers against the senior boys' team (in the first half) and the junior boys (in the second). By Wednesday signs were blossoming all over the school. An banner over the men teach- ers' room asked "SCARED?" Mr. Madill gave the usual an- noundement cautioning against unsportsmanlike conduct by the student spectators. This was interpreted as meaning that the throwing of rotten eggs at the teachers was out. When the student body had assembled in the gym Mr. Wor- snop gave an introduction to HIGHLIGHTS the members of the teachers' team, rich in rolling rhetoric and alliteration. This last phrase refers to the speech, not to the team. Expressions like, "Frank Madill's murdering ma- rauders" and "puny puling pu- pils" still resound in this re- porter's mind. The teachers showed a won- derful ability to laugh at them- selves (there's a little bit of good in the worst of us) as they entered the gym in various disguises. Mr. Campbell was a senior citizen complete with cane, red wig and beard. Mr. Wood showed a remarkable re- semblance to the last of the Mo- hicans. Two members of the tricycle set. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hor.wood. came rolling in, followed by Mr. Gavreluk and Mr. Palmer disguised as golfing and skiing experts respectively. Mr. Willis impersonating his namesake on "My Favourite Martian" and Mr. McLaughlin as Santa Claus rounded out the teachers' team. The Senior Boys had already entered the gym, disguised as themselves. A number of girlspurporting to be the women teachers, next made an appearance lean -frog- ging down the centre of the gym. After giving a cheer for the teachers, they introduced themselves one by one. Ex- ample statement. "My name is Miss Welsh. I'm a teacher of English.. I cheer for the men Because I'm still singlish." The regular cheerleaders countered with more support for the students as the game fin- ally got under way. It was one of the rougher games of the season. Your reporter was nev- er quite sure whether the Sen- iors were out to get the teach- ers or the teachers were out to get the Seniors. At any rate, the Seniors lost their sec- tion of the game 24-19, despite a a late improvement. Wayne Farrier was the Seniors' high Please tum to Page Five GAY SPRING FROCKS were modelled by students at W.D.H.S. on Friday afternoon in a fashion show for teen-agers.
