Miss Heringu of lhe Hor- 1icu|l|lre Deparlmenl charm- ed the girls with her flower arrangements. â€"O.A.C. Photo that made such a hit at the Women's Institutes‘ Sixtieth Anniversary celebration, caused even more hilarity in this audience of girls. Such garments some of them had never seen even in pictures. And they enjoyed the get-acquainted party and the campus games and the swimming pool and the bus trip around the College property, and the banquet at the close of the confer- ence. Perhaps especially they enjoyed the sessions of choral singing with Mr. Ralph Kidd and Mrs. Kidd of the College. After three days with these leaders the girls made quite an impressive choir. To quote the girl who thanked Mr, and Mrs. Kidd at the banquet, “it was almost unbelievable that such results could be accomplished in so short a time.” Miss Jean Scott, Supervisor of County Home Economists was'in charge of the conference, Miss Eadie, Supervisor of Junior Home Econ- omics Extension being away attending the A.C.W.W. meetings in Ceylon. Working with Miss Scott were Miss Lulu Row, Supervisor of Junior Clothing Extension and the County Home Economists Misses Carolyn Kelman, Susanne Squires, Jenipher Ritchie, Shirley Patterson, Hildegarde Bentler, Wilda Gordon. In her review at the final session, Miss Scott reminded the girls of the honour that had been conferred on them when they were chosen to represent the girls of their county at this annual conference. “Perhaps You have received the most from the conference because you entered into the spirit of it,” Miss Scott said. “You had good speakers and the speakers felt the warmth of your response and the stimulation of your alertness." She complimented the girls on the way they had expressed themselves and she knew how ef- fectively they would share with the girls 0f FALL 1957 their clubs what they had experienced at the College. Without any pre-arrangement, so far as I could see, a girl rose and thanked Miss Scott and her staff. It was just another evidence of the spirit and competence of the girls through- out the conference. i * * YOU TELL ON YOURSELF (Quoted at the Girls' Conference) You tell what you are by the friends you seek, By the very manner in which you speak, By the way you employ your leisure time, By the use you make of dollar and dime. You tell what you are by the clothes you wear By the spirit in which your burdens you bear, By the kind of thing at v. hich you laugh‘ By the records you play on the phonograph, You tell what you are by the way you walk. By the things of which you delight to talk, By the manner in which you bear defeat. By so simple a thing as how you eat. By the books you Choose from the well filled shelf, In these ways and more you IE“ on yourself, So there‘s really no particle of sense In an effort to keep up fillsu pretense. Author Unknown.
