If you see any of our girls with a brighf pin made of shells, don’t be too quick in judging that she has been to Florida or the sea shore. She is more likely just a fan of our .craft club.

When the concert part of our going home party has been taken care of there will be a dance to records. Incidentally the records at these dances are vei*y new and the effect is us­ ually ‘‘sweet and lovely” when the boys are not outnumbered by a score of three to one. Oc­ casionally one of our more am­ bitious students will decide to play the piano and someone else calls a square dance. Everybody tries hard to do it properly but we usually finish asking “How square can you get”. While some of us are dancing, others, will trip off to the Home Economics room for a snack. This is our present from the staff and will be a pleasant surprise to all of us.

Cann’s Mill Ltd BBS® .Mil , ONTARIO TRAFFIC DEATH T®11 SERIOUS tyee/f/ tto/iday Caution urged To oil MOTORISTS and PEDESTRIANS This is an urgent appeal to all citizens, motorists and pedestrians alike to co-operate earnestly in keeping down the death and accident toll on Ontario streets and highways. Care and caution in driving and walking are necessary at all times— but particularly so in the holiday season. December is a dangerous mQnth, with more hours of darkness and changeable weather conditions. Preoccupied shoppers, young and old, are abroad in great numbers. In the excitement of Christmas time, people sometimes tend to forget their customary caution. As the end of 1948 approaches, let us all join together in determining that for the whole Province we will make it a safe as well as a happy Christmas and New Year.
