ENSEMBLES suitable for mixing or match-
ing were shown by Anne Holt, Donna Fer-
guson and Vaideane Noble. When the ma-
terials are carefully chosen these add up to
extra outfits for the wardrobe. Elizabeth
Stokes, in the background, wore a white
pin stripe on charcoal shirtwaist dress
with a bright red scarf tucked in at the
neck.

Girls See Fashion Show
A fashion show was staged in
the auditorium of the Wingham
District High School Friday af-
ternoon, when the girls were
shown teen styles for spring.
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

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.

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
