It's back to the old 'grind! The
second term of the school year is
now in full swing, but whether the
students are or not remains to be
seen. To some students, this term
is the fullest and hardest, as the
majority of the work is covered.
But remember, in just twelve'short
weeks Easter will be here and
then everyone will be able to rest
from the strain and commotion of
our last holiday. Of course, if an
extra week was added to the
Christmas holidays to be used on-
ly for sleeping, perhaps the stu-
dents, when they returned to
school, would not have that "Oh,
I'm so tired" look. The last part
of the above paragraph would and
is impossible,

One of the large and attractive
events is now on the horizon for
the students and, we hope, for
some of the peole of this town.

bounds, laying everyone rushing
to complete all the necessary work
before the 20th. The decorations
this year have taken on a mod-
ernistic touch. The new color --
pink -which is now worn by both
sexes, has the prevalent domina-
tion in the form of "-Pink .Rap-
sody." It is quite difficult to try
and describe just what is taking
shape in the far depths of the
decorations committee's mind.
However, pink is not alone, but
has a couple of companions -black
and silver. Neil Broadfoot is at
the head of the artistic 'part of the
decorations, with Ron, Scoins as
the man with the money.' The re-
mainder of this committee, plus
all volunteers, is John Scott, Marg.
Stuart, Charlie Dungey, Marlene
Austin, Ruth Teall, Ruth Sills and
Audrey Hackwell. Now, if you
should by chance appear at our
formal and be subject to visions
of pink elephants, try not to be
alarmed, for they aren't real. Of
course, who ever did see pink
,
elephants?

I When the deceraIloti committee
starts into full swing, the other
committees are also beginning to
shape out. The lunch committee
have their planning nearly fin-
ished; the 'cloak room committee
is still working on ideas, but, how-
everthe- most necessary commit-
tee does not/begin operation until
the 21st, and:that committee is the
clean-up' committee. For neairstu-
dents. especially in town, that is
your job, for - every extra pair of
hands makes the work so much
easier and faster. So town stu-
dents and country, if on next Sat-
urday you are wondering how to
pass your time, the school will be
open around 9:00, when the clean-
up will begin.
$
Not only is the formal %almost
here, but also the basketball sea-
son.. This year both P.T. teachers,.
Mr. Dobson and Miss Kelly, are
trying to shape some of the stu-
dents into four teams -a girl and
boy. senior team, and a girl and
boy junior team. However, it
takes a percentage of 50 or over
to become eligible for tryouts and,
as usual,• there are a .number of
basketball players who are not
scholars, and thus- will have to be
spectators rather than players.

HOME _ECONOMISTS IN DEMAND,
INTERVIEW HELEN McKERCHER
(By Angela Burke, in the Toronto
,Daily Star)
(Miss McKercher, the subject of
this story by • Angela Burke, is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. F.
McKercher, McKillop).
Helen McKercher, recently ap-
pointed director of the home econ-
omicsservice, extension branch,
Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture, put down her phone and said:
"There, that's just what we were
talking about. My phone call an-
nounced one more' diamond among
our home economists. The wed-
ding is set for April.”
According to Miss McKercher, a
husband almost comes with a de-
gree in home economics. Though
statistics are not on record, in-
formed guessers state 85 per cent
of home economics graduates are
wives by the end of their first year
out of college.
Even airline stewardesses would
be hard put to match the husband -
catching rate of home economics
'graduates, Miss McKercher says.
To back 'up her stand that home
economics stands first among Pre-
fessions where spinsters are rare-
ly counted, Miss McKercher cites
logic. "Any young -man would be
foolish indeed not to be interested
in a home economist. They're
trained homemakers."
But if the high marriage rate is
the profession's pride and joy, it
is also its greatest sorrow. The
shortage of "home economists is
acute. Too many give up their
jobs instructing and supervising to
become homemakers themselves.
In order to fill the gap in On-
tario. Miss McKercher is promot-
ing a long-range plan which she
hopes will result in making home
economics course in high school
elective, giving credit for college

entrance.
"Why they aren't, I can't under-
stand," Miss McKercher says, en-
ergetically. "What could be more
basic • to the nation than happy,
healthy homes. Good homemaking
is more than good housekeeping."
To meet the need of some 45,000
members of the 1,500 branches of
the women's institutes which are
serviced under Miss McKercher's
directorship, trained economists
are wanted.
• Even for the graduate fresh out
of college, pay is good. Rates run
,from $250 a month up, with a de-
partment car for travelling and,
of course, expenses. As one of
her first objectives Miss McKer-
cher' is looking to place one home
economist in each county. At JiJe
moment these trained perso net
are covering two and sometimes
three counties.
As a new appointee to her post,
succeeding Anna P. Lewis, who
left for the reason all home eco-
nomists apparently quit the pro-
fession -marriage -Helen McKer-
cher is well qualified.
As -one of the two children of a
Huron County farming family, Hel-
en. followed her brother to Ontario
Agricultural College at Guelph
when she was 16. "I became a
home economist, I guess, because
my family said at 16 I was too
young to be on my own."
Graduating from Macdonald In-
stitute in 1930, Miss McKercher
Need the staff of Ottawa Civic
Hospital for a year as dietitian.
Shejeft to join the department of
agriculture where, as a member
of the Women's Institute branch,
she learned the rudiments of the
job she has now taken over.
In 1941 she joined the Women's
Royal Canadian Navy service and
was promptly dispatched to Corn-
wallis "vittling 10,000."
"I never worked so -hard in my
life," Miss McKercher says of her
navy days. "You can understand
the resentment I met with at first
among the mess seamen who
couldn't get accustomed to a wo-
man about. My proudest moment
was when 'one leading seama,
came up to me after I had been at
the base a month.
" Do you mind if I begin' call-
ing you Ma'am,' he said. 'You
may have noticed I never called
you anything up until now.' "
From the navy, Miss McKercher
returned to federal fisheries
department as chief of home eco-
nomics service. One of her du-
ties was to make Canadians eat
more fish.
.„ "Fish consumption went up,"
Miss McKercher says, "and at the
department we like to think it
was our work, but it just could
have been the shortage of beef."
,Por her new job Miss McKer-
cher sees all kinds of oppertuni-
tio. With farift iticome down
throughout Ontario in, the last
three , years, the. 'challenge, she
says, is greater than ever.
