Many readers will recognize
these lines as originating in a
recent hit song, But they also
proclaimed in forceful words the
theme of the Centralia College
"Open House '73" fashion show
last week,
The 26 models from both junior
and senior fashion classes at the
college performed their show
twice Wednesday and once
Thursday to almost capacity
crowds each time.
The highlight of the program
came at the end of the third show,
when senior student Gisele
Riberdy was presented with the
South Huron Women's Institute
award for being the best model of
the show.
In addition to the actual
modelling, factors taken into
consideration were the suitability
of clothes to the girl; con-
struction; and up-to-date fashion.
This award was open only to the
senior fashion class. The winner
received a plaque presented by
the president of the South Huron
WI, Ruth Skinner, and a gift from
the college staff,
The theme of the fashion
parade was sung by Shelia Wray,
a senior student in the foods
course accompanied by the Tony
Caminiti Quartet,
What followed was a well
organized and very professional
presentation. Backed up by

appropriate music and an
imaginative commentary, the
girls came on to the U-shaped
walkway in groups of two or
three.
All the outfits were made by the
girls themselves and many were
self-designed. They presented a
great variety of fashion, from
springy sportswear to elegant
evening gowns, and above all,
they were strictly feminine,
In almost every case, the
fashion emphasis was on comfort
and easy-care materials, Stretch
materials, denims and cotton and
polyester blends were very much
in evidence. A few outfits in wool
were also modeled for the spring
and summer season.
Traditionally used in colder
weather, the girls feel wool is
quite suitable for certain warm
weather outfits because it
"breathes" with the wearer.
For many observers, the most
startling aspect of the fashions on
display was the length of the
dresses. There seems to be a
move back to dresses, both for
the working girl and for playing.
But in every case there were no
styles which even closely ap-
proximated the severe mini
dresses of 1971 and 72, Girl
watchers would seem to be out of
luck!
The lengths featured were mid-

general styles of evening wear for

skirts and short shorts are still
the word for the beach or pool-
side.
Many of the dresses displayed
the shirtwaist style, which was
very popular a few years ago.
The same trend follows in suits,
with both long and short blouses
or jackets. One of the major
fashion accesories used to
highlight the outfits was colored
stockings,
The classic look of the blazer is

The slacks modeled were almost
all "bags" with cuffs the order of
the day,
Colors on parade showed a
definite trend to pastels, along
with the traditional red, white
and blue. Pastel shades of dotted
swiss were also a popular choice
among the models.
"Feminine" is the most out-
standing feature of the evening
wear. Long dresses with bare
backs, empire waists and even a
touch of chiffon were in evidence,
with high-waisted palazzo pants
in second place.
Wrap-around coats, jackets
and pant tops are new features on
the '73 fashion scene, often
casually tied with a long, loose
belt. Common to the coats, as
well as to just about all other
modes of dress were plaids,
checks and some madras.
The layered look of suits both
with skirts and pants, and of
sweaters or blouses under
blouses or sweaters was also
quite apparent, both in casual
clothes and outfits for the
working girl.

The girls who participated in
the fashion show were supported
by a cast of five dressers, plus
several ushers, organizers and
staff and student advisors. The
commentators were Jane Simp-
son and Debbie Anderson,
Almost all the outfits have been
constructed since the beginning
of February, and the girls
decided the exact format of their
program only a day before their
first show,

But the fashion show was not
the only preparation done by the
girls Of the Home Economics
course at CCAT for "Open House
/3".
In addition to a junior fashion
display on tailoring, there were
both junior and senior foods
displays and four different food
demonstrations.
Topics for these demon-
strations included "Cheese, a
meal in itself"; "Light and lively
with gelatin desserts"; "Let's
start with a min"; and "A taste of
the island coconut,"
Members of the audience
received not only new ideas for
preparing and serving various
foods, hut were able to sample
the goodies after each demon-
stration.
Diane Walker, who was
recently crowned queen of the
college and of the Kirkton Winter
Carnival, was awarded a plaque
from the Ontario Dietetic
Association - Region 1, and a gift
from the staff of the college, for
general excellence in food
demonstration.
Next week, April 8-14, has been
declared Education Week in the
province of Ontario, and Exeter
Public School has a roster of
events planned to interest both
parents and others.
The school staff and students

aspects of school life, centred
Although you can try, you will
probably never convince Steven
Pfaff that there is any good luck
attached td a four-leaf clover.
Steven's mother, Mrs. Harvey
Pfaff, Exeter gave him the
traditional good luck charm
before he'ldft cirr a school trip to
London, England during the
March break. The clover had
been given to her and her
husband when they went to
Europe a few years ago.
But it brought nothing but bad
luck to Steven. He arrived back in
Exeter Monday after having been
hospitalized in England for what
was thought to be pneumonia. In
fact, it was eventually disgnosed
as Pulmonary embolism'
(or a blood clot on the lung). It is
thought that clot was the result of
a hockey injury he received about
three months ago.
Steven was forced to stay in
England after the rest of his
school mates came home, but it
wasn't until last Thursday that
his case was correctly diagnosed.
"I'm just glad we didn't know
then what was wrong with him, or
his mother would have had me
right over there on a plane," said
Mr. Pfaff.
But Steven's troubles didn't
end, or even begin with his
illness, Before he was sick, he got
pick-pocketed. Someeone stole
over $20 from him. Later he was
hospitalized.
Mr. Pfaff wired his son a return
ticket home, and he -received
that. But he also wired him 25

Adult participation key

stressed that any persons who
wish may visit the school for any
of the events listed, It is not
limited to parents, but is open, to
all residents.
around the province-wide theme,
"Human values in education",
pounds, or a little over $30 in
Canadian currency. There was a
giant mix-up and the wire was
addressed to Weston Hospital,
rather than Western Hospital,
where Steven was. When a friend
finally tracked down the missing
money, it was made out to Steven
Ptass, so there was no way he
could cash the cheque anyway,
and he brought it home with him
again.
But not everything was bad. He
was very impressed with the care
he received from the doctors and
nurses, and with the friends he
made among other patients.
John St. John. and Miss
O'Connor from the Society for the
Study of the Heritage of Canada,
the organization which sponsored
the school trip, were most helpful
to him. Mr. St. John was in touch
with him every day, and ac-
companied him to the airport and
saw him home. Steven went
straight from the hospital to the
plane, but had to get a special
hospital pass to fly.
Now all's well that ends well,
Steven is home, and back at
school. "He was very anxious to
see his friends again,"said Mrs.
Pfaff. "He's a little weak, but
generally feeling very well."
She added that the troubles he
encountered had not dampened
his enthusiasm, and that he could
hardly wait to go back.
Chances are he won't worry
about taking a good luck charm
though.
Although many Ontario schools
are involving parents in various
activities on a regular year-round
basis, Education Week has
traditionally been a time for
schools to organize special events
— to explain their programs to
parents and the general public.

and their fathers. Tuesday night
the girls will challenge their
mothers.
Wednesday, from 9 a.m. to 3:45
p,m. parents and guardians and
anyone else interested are invited
to visit classradnie classes
are in session. Visits are to be
informal and visitors are to feel
free to come and go as they wish.
Curriculum night will be from
7:30 to 9 p.m, Wednesday. People
are asked to come and par-
ticipate in sample lessons and to
hear about courses of study in the
grade levels of their choice.
Examples of topics to be
presented are: creative English,
intermediate math, primary
activity centres; skills
development, simulation,
cuisenaire and languages, A
schedule will be available listing
times and locations.
At 8 p.m. Thursday, personnel
who provide special services for
the pupils will be at the school to
demonstrate techniques used to
identify learning problems and
discuss remedial programs.
Those participating will be:
William Carter, psychologist;
Sandra Orr, psychometrist; Ha
Kayes, special learning
disabilities; Pam Scotchmer,
speech correction; and Jean
Turner, remedial assistance.
