.g g A4 L The Houses Much of the school activity is centred around the seven houses of Alma which consists of Upper and Lower McLachlin, East and West Warner, East and West Ryerson and Dobson House, the music students of Ingram House entering the competition with East Ryerson. The competitive friendly spirit that exists among these houses is very beneficial to both school and student. The House Flag, which is presented each term for total points in neat- ness of.roonum neatness of person, outdoor activities and other house com- petitions, has been distributed throughout the school this year. For the first term, Ryerson West won the flag, the second term, Warner East stole the coveted flag away, and the third term, Warner West was victorious. The Junior Club One of the very active organizations in the school this year is the Junior Club. The club cannot boast of as large a membership as last year, having only eighteen girlsg but in spite of its small number, the girls in it have shown a fine school spirit throughout the year. The club is made up of students who, after reaching seventeen or eighteen years of age and an academic standing of sixty per cent. are invited to enter the club and assume its responsibilities and privileges. This year the club decided on a pin for the members. The design is very attractive and we hope next year's Juniors will carry on with the insignia. Our officers for the year were very efficient -- being during the first term: President--Dot Norris, Vice President--Dot Leach, and Sec- retary--Hulda Miller. For the second term Hulda Miller was President, Jeanie Sweet Vice President and Reubena Rabezzana Secretary. At the end of the year the club members followed the last year's precedence by going to a show and lunch afterwards as a celebration of a successful year. Reubena Rabezzana. 29

Clubs Senior Club It doesn't seem possible that this year is almost over, but we can honestly say that it has been an enjoyable one. The 1939 Senior Club was composed of a jolly group of girls who entered wholly into the meetings, tried their best to fulfil the duties their high position demands and certainly enjoyed to the full their privileges. Our officers for the year were extremely efficient and during the first term Jeannette Lapan was president, Frances Reiner, vice-presiden and Wilma Samlalsingh, secretary. The presidency of the second term was filled by Frances Reiner, the vice-president was Margery Darby, and Wilma remained secretary. To the Senior Club of 1940 we wish to extend our best wishes and we Know that you, as Alma students will put yourselves whole-heartedly into the activities of the year. Jean Lounsbury. S. C.

Such were our Thursday Chatsn led by capable leaders. All the topics had to personal interest to the girls of the S. C. K. On the last Sunday evening of every month we took charge of the Chapel services which were held in lcLachl1n Hall. On all occasions the meetings proved most enjoyable and beneficial. Our capable President for the year has been Miss Anne Corp. At all times we have Here at Alma wiie organization created this year had the co-operation of all members of the faculty. we are indeed fortunate to take part in such a world- and we feel sure that the interest which we have will be carried over into years to come.
