18 SAMARA Brave hands, so swift to help in other ' s need. With tender fingers tranq uillising pain, Feeding the de ' ititute, relieving want. Making the broken spirits whole again. Brave feet, so faithful in the Master ' s steps, Hastening to tend His little ones astray, Seeking the lost, leading them home again. Treading the paths of pity day by day; Though you have passed beyond our shadowed sights Your memory burns a steadfast beacon lights SCHOOL CALENDAR FIRST TERM September 16th. — School opened.

SAMARA 17 FRY HOUSE NOTES HRY has made valiant and energetic attempts to recover its past high standard and has made great strides both in work and in games. This year we tied with Keller in the House Poor Collections which were all extremely generous. Fry also tied with Keller in the inter-house badmin- ton games after a brilliant and thrilling exhibition of play on the part of all the teams. Only one change has been made in connection with the House. We changed the House hymn from ' ' He that is down need fear no fall to the hymn ' ' Help us to help each other, Lord , which seems more in keeping with our motto, Friendship to All and with the high ideal of that great woman after whom we are named, Elizabeth Fry. Last Sports Day Fry distinguished itself by winning the House Tug-of- War and the House Relay race : we should also like to heartily congratulate Nini Keefer, who left us last year, for winning the Senior Sports cup, and Betty Hooper, who won the Intermediate Sports cup. This year Cinnie Copping is our House Sports Captain with the help of Betty Harris as Vice. Betty is also Drill Captain. Both have been doing excellent work and have done much to keep up a keen spirit on the games field. Members of the House are: — Lilias Ahearn, Mimi Boal, Glenn Borbridge, Betty Brown, Margaret Carson, Joan Dean, Bebe Fraser, Patricia Gait, Hope Gilmour, Mary Hampson, Betty Hooper, Janet Hutchison, Barbara Kennedy, Dorothy Laidlaw, Kathleen Lawson, Patricia Macoun, Mary McGuckin, Marjory McKinnon, Ruth Monk, Melodie Willis O ' Connor, Mary Palmer, Evangeline Phillips, Sheila Skelton, Hope Wattsford, Anna Wilson.
