Fine Display By High School Girls
Parents viewing the outstanding display in arts and home science yesterday at the State High School, had reason to be proud of the children, and thankful to the teachers in charge.
The cooking of the girls, under the supervision of Mrs. D. Hoyle, teacher-in-charge, and Misses S. Springfield, M. Monro and J. Carstens, showed a wonderful degree of skill.
…
In the cooking section there was a wide variety of sponge sandwiches, large tarts in the following variety: heavenly, coconut, lemon cheese, caramel, merangue, pineapple, banana, all were piped with merangue or mock cream.
Small cakes were in the shape of frogs, bunnies, clowns, baskets, and coconut balls.
These cakes were on sale as were the beautiful sweets – coconut ice, date creams, russian toffee, chocolate fudge, nougat, fondants, pascals, and marshmallows.
