A demonstration on the correct way of washing blankets Without agitation was shown and proved of great in- terest to the audience. A demonstration in the sewing room, of simple articles to make for bazaars, completed the afternoon pro- gramme. A Talent Night was held in Macdonald Hall Common Room on Wednesday evening, It was amazing the versatility among the women, in many cases strangers until meeting at the Holiday. to produce skits and plays from among themselves on such short notice. The comic readings by some of the older women were very much enjoyed. After classes and dinner on Thursday many of the women went on a bus trip to the Shakespearian Festival in Stratford to see "Much Ado About Nothing,” and to enjoy a picnic in the park. A wonderful picnic supper had been prepared by Miss Beck, dieti- cian at the College, and her staff. Friday afternoon a display of articles made in the Interest Groups, was held, Members of the groups commented on the work and it was a great satisfaction to Mrs. Haggerty, Mrs. Thompson and their Committee to see the joy these women got from their projects, and the pride they showed in their accomp- lishment. The Choral Groupl directed by Mr. Kidd with Mrs. Kidd at the piano, gave a fine performance of “Lolly Tee Dum” and it was hard to realize that this had been acâ€" complished in so short a time, Mr. Kidd also played a tape recording of parts of the Christ- mas concert given at the College. During the Holiday, bus trips were arrang- ed for tours around the Campus with a com- mentator aboard to explain the points of inâ€" terest. At the request of many of the women attending the Holiday, a bUs trip to points of interest in Guelph was also arranged. At the close of the Holiday. Mrs. Haggerty thanked all for coming and helping to make this a very successful and enjoyable holiday. She also mentioned the splendid co-operation of the staff of the College, and said that many women had expressed their gratitude at h ing the opportunity to enjoy such “Vâ€" with the good fellowship, beautiful ings and good food.
