At Christmas, owing to ill-health, Miss Aitchison had to give up her art class here and her place was taken by Miss Haanel who fitted in very quickly.

Besides trying the Ontario Matriculation, two girls completed their McGill examinations.

Hilda Salmon: French Composition 65, French Translation 62, Geometry 50, Latin Composition 45, Latin Translation 60. This year still more are trying their Matriculation. Betty Carter, Mabel Dunlop, Marian Gale, Janet Wilson, and Ruth Seely are trying part of their Senior Matriculation and Janet Wilson, Betty Vaughan, Enid Palmer, Ruth Seely, Marian Gale, Mabel Dunlop and Elizabeth Kenny are finishing their Junior. Margaret Symington, Jocelyn White, Jean Finnie, Sharley Bow- man, Catherine MacPhail and Morna Peters are taking the first part of their Junior exams. We hope that last year ' s successes will continue with this year ' s candidates. We are expecting Elmwood to be a matriculation centre this year. This means that instead of going to the Collegiate for our exams, we will have them here at school. Although from Mrs. Buck ' s point of view this is a much better arrangement, the girls do not seem to be very appreciative of it. Last year the prize winners gave the school a beautiful maho- gany grandfather clock. It stands in the corner of the stairs in the entrance hall and merrily rings out every hour. The prize winners were: Betty Carter, Betty Vaughan, Irene Salmon, Mabel Dunlop, Janet Wilson, Ruth Seely, Maureen Macoun, Hilda Salmon, Roslyn Arnold, Kitty Gordon, Louise Courtney, Elaine Meekins, Betty Smart, Betty Sifton, Janet Southam, Luella Irvin, Catherine Bate, Eleanor Kenny, Mary Gray, Jane Smart, Helen MacKay, Jeannie Dunlop, Norma Hall, I [ope Gilmour, Betty Hooper, Genevieve Bronson, Ethel Southam, Geoffrey Goodwin, Lilias Ahearn, Louise MacBrien.
