This old world's seen lits of -trouble,
Seems like one big trouble spot.
But it's not such a bad filace-tp live -
It's the only place we've got.
AncLthe folks who live here -
Th'ey'revIl right,'I guess.
Though we've sure gotten ourselves
Into one heck of a mess.
Everyone thinks that the other people
Are not quite up to par,
Things 'd be different if there were more tike hitn;
-The trouble they are.
Now I.don't go along with those -
Who say that folks won't ever change
Though nithis world of ',kitty it seems kind of 'strange
There isn't enough of everything to go around.
Smile have too much some have too little
There'shunker where plenty aboimds.
There's no one roup to blame. •

The women are wearing pant
suit, of course, and enjoying
their new 'freedom' of movement
more than they ever- imagined
possible.
.Principal John Kane reaffied
late in 1970 that pant suits were
the coming 1,hing° for the ladies.
He had read of women wearing
them to work in all fields of
employment • and he saw no
reason why his teachers should
not be fashionable, too'. •
Mr. Kane called a meeting
with his lady teachers and told
them his decision: they were
free to wear the pant suits to
school providing , .the tops
covered the hips and the liberty
Wasn't_ stretched to include
sweaters and slacks rather than
co-ordinated pants and tops.
Since the first of January,
pant suits for lady teachers at
Victoria have become THE
thing.
• "The first day I wore a pant.
suit to school," recalled
kindergarten teacher Mrs. Rose
Fisher, "one of my students
remarked about how pretty I
looked. The children notice style
and appreciate it."
--But aside from that asp.ect of
it, pant • suits are wonderful for
teachers hi the primary grades
where teachers and students are
constantly squatting and sitting
and bending and stretching.
"I can move about with
ease," noted Mrs. Emily Cory.
, Sotne teachers in jtfiVir
