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 6th Grade girls showed a variety of skirts and blouses in printed cottons. The 7th Grade display included simple house coats, pyjamas, gymnasium pinnafores, and bloomers. The higher grade showed more elaborate styles in frocks, winter suits, ballarina frocks, and lovely overcoats, besides a variety of beach wear.

Country girls who travel in on Fridays had made sweet styles in frocks, beach wear, skirts and blouses.

Mrs. Hoyle gave the girls great credit for their application to the work and their enthusiastic hard work. Every grade had worked very hard, she said.
