Miss Morwenna Harris taught all the forms at the summer school at the Uni- versity of Toronto after the province decided that all high school teachers should have a degree..

The two 'things they do leave the house for, is to go to the dentist and to to the beauty salon. They get the Globe and Mail every day as they always have, and both sis- ters still can and do read. They don't watch too much television now, although they do watch Lawrence Welk, the Irish Rovers and Front Page Challenge on a regular basis. They also listen to the news, on the radio, while they eat their meals. One of their favourite pas- times is playing Scrabble and they play two games of Scrabble just about every night.
