Show offers fashion through the years
What an entertaining, musical and
interesting evening it was at
Londesborough United Church on
Friday. Oct. I. There was a sold-out
crowd tO enjoy clothing fashions
from the 1880s to the 1950s modeled
by some 7(1 persons of all ages.
Throughout the show quiet
appropriate melodies were played by
Gail Lear and Barb Bosman both of
whom were in costume. Sponsored
h the Londesborough UCW the
persons modelling and performing
seemed to be enjoying the show as
much as the audience.
Memories of bygone days were
evoked as soon as one entered the
building to be greeted by the
costumed ticket taker. Members of
the audience were shown to their
seats by men dressed in period suits
complete with hats. These men were
also on hand to help the ladies
handle their long skirts and trains
while crossing the stage.
Decorations in the entrance and
throughout the sanctuary included
gas lanterns, old quilts and
tablecloths, antiques of every sort,
high button shoes, a baby buggy and
doll and mannequins dressed in old
fashions.
Paula Allen of Styled to Fit in
Goderich, was the fashion
commentator. Fashions worn in the
show are part of the collection of
Marion Kernighan of Komoka.
Marion also supplied accessories -
shoes, hats, purses, jewellery and a
Church news
As Sunday. Oct. 3 was World Wide
Communion Sunday. Rev. Pat Cook
titled her message as Londesborough
United Church that morning Bread Is
Life.
In the New Testament reading
from John 6: 25-35, Jesus tells His
Followers that He is the bread of life;
no one who believes in Him shall
hunger or thirst. In Psalm 51, David
asks for mercy from God for his
various sins.
Flowers abounded at
Londesborough United on Oct. 3
presented as memorials to the life of
Darlene Vincent who lost a long and
courageous battle with cancer on
Sept. 27. A memorial service took
place at the church on Saturday, Oct.

time is extended to her family and
friends from the church and
community.
Londesborough United Church

Baptism on Oct. 10, Thanksgiving
Sunday. Congregants are invited to
bring an item to the service for which
they are thankful and to share that
story during the children's time.
variety of other props to complete
the looks.
The program began with a theme
song of sorts, Dear Hearts and
Gentle People sung by members of
the Snell family who also entertained
with a medley of songs of the 1880
era including While the Band Played
On. The family sang several
numbers to end the evening as well
Lilli Marlene and The White Cliffs of
Dover from the 1940s.
Red River Valley and Sweet Betsy
from Pike were offered by Ken Scott
following fashions Of the 1890s.
A pair of young schoolmates,
Kelsey Falconer and Mikala Allen,
sang I Don't Want to Play in Your
Yard. Husband and wife duo, John
and Barb Jewitt, wearing 1890 attire
were a hit singing Bicycle Built For
Two and When You and I Were
Young.
Gordon Shobbrook and Neil
Sal verda brought a touch of hi
vaudeville to the night both in dress
and skit. The men were joined by
John Jewitt later to sing By the Sea to
introduce cousins Amanda and
Caleigh in bathing suits.
Children of today really have no
complaints about their school clothes
when compared to school fashions of
the 1910s as modeled by Emily
Allen, Shelby Radford, and Corey
and Caitlin Pollard. These girls
carrying an old slate sang School
Days. Sailor boys, Damien, Kyle and
Tyler wore straw-hats to sing Sailing,

fashions presented their infant son,
Braden, dressed in a long christening
outfit and bonnet.
During the fashions of the 1920s
music of the time was sung by father
and daughter, Ken and Shannon
Scott, Ain't She Sweet by Ken and
Bye, Bye Blackbird by Shannon for
example. Jordan Elliott helped
young girls Caleigh, Nicole, Valerie,
Melissa and Mary Kate playing dress
up sing The Teddy Bears' Picnic.
Getting oohs and aahs were Jacqui
Mitchell, Tanya Drost, Rhonda .
Howatt and Andrea Nutley in
wedding dresses from the 1930s.
Walk Hand in Hand sung by
Shannon Scot( was reminiscent of
the time as was The Way You Look
tonight sung by Jordan Elliott.
, The final group of fashions, from
the 1950s, were sung to by Kelly
Marks. Till We Meet Again, the finale
song sent everyone on their way
humming a tune that struck a chord
with them or smiling about a
memory evoked by a particular
outfit.
As we began the month of
September, the landscape continued
to look lush and green. It didn't have
that dry, tired, parched look that is
characteristic of most SepteMbers.
The warm dry weather we
experienced during September has
been glorious.
However the deciduous trees are
now beginning to show their
preparation for winter. Anyone
travelling to celebrate Thanksgiving
should catch a show of fall colours.
Although some haVe had a touch of
---,frost, we have all enjoyed these
extended days of summer.
The beginning of each new school
year brings elections for a new
student council to work with the staff -
and pupils to make Hullett school a
great place to learn and play. This
year's_ student council president is
Kyle Middegaal and vice-president
is 'Eyler Middegaal.
Krista Rozendal has been elected
secretary and Danielle Bean was
selected as vice-secretary. Janessa

year's treasurer and vice-treasurer
respectively. Congratulations to this
slate of officers.
