.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

Social FACULTY FROLIC Miss McLean arrived at Alma College on the evening of April l in her autogyro and introduced us to a glimpse of Alma in 1979. By this time the College had a male staff, service bells, a telephone in every room, and Coca Cola served between classes. As we looked into Miss Hardy's English Class we observed many of the students Win nsgligee,N and each with a sufficient supply of kleenex, apples and chewing gum. After the students had refreshed themselves with a WCoke' we saw them in Miss Gregory's physical training class where Miss Stewart gave a very good exhibition of a dance of Spring. Next we found Dr. Dobson conducting a class in business etiquette and interviewing applicants for a position in the College. When we arrived at one of the practise rooms, Miss Neville and Miss Smith were pracitsing their lessons. Finally bringing the show to a close, Miss Swain and Miss Stewart gave a demonstration of a bridal couple from an old family album and sang WO, Promise Me.' On arriving at the gymnasium we found there an orchestra prepared to play dance music for us. After we had had lunch it was time to go to bed. But long will we remember the gay time we all had that evening and wish to express our sincere thanks to the Faculty. on G5 J 31
