and see it. All this and more is Beans, girls. if you want to go, see Dot Hewitt. Senior Beans sec't., or Margaret Hill, Junior Beans sec't. I seem to be getting away from the idea of talking about what the Girls' Club has been doing in the school itself. They got away to an early start in their year's work, by having their opening meeting the first week of school in the form of a Big and Little Sister Party. A new idea was tried out in the man- ner of giving out big and little sis- ters, which p1'oved very successful. The third, fourth and fifth form- ers came in one front door of the Assembly Hall, the first formers in the other, one at a time from each door. They were introduced as they came in by members of the cabinet and second formers and then taken up to the front of the hall to join in a sing-song which was being led by Jean Evans. a past president of the Club. This system of getting big sisters did away with all trouble of making lists and of sisters not finding each other which had been present other years. I might add that by soine bit of luck there were just exactly the same number of Seniors as first formers, the which had been one of the chief possible flaws in the experiment. Thev had get acquainted games and livelv in- terform relays followed by refresh- ments. The meeting closed by Grace Cowan leading the girls in singing the Oakwood song. After their first meeting. to which all the girls in the school had been invited, they thought that it would be a good time to have their membership drive and over three hundred and twenty-five joined up. Thev planned a hike for October but when the day arrived it dawn- ed, not fair and clear as the weather man had been ordered to make it, but cloudy with show- THE OAKWOOD ORACLE ers in some localitiesjl fmostly oursj. The cabinet believing in the words rain before seven, clear befo1'e eleven and also knowing the food had been ordered, decided to go ahead with it and it did fthe rain I mean, it stopped? so in rub- ber boots and slickers, about a hun- dred and twenty-five set out from the end of the Yonge car line, about two-thirty, towards A 1' m o u r Heights. Food enough for two hundred and fifty had been order- ed, so no one went home hungry. They had baseball games before supper, and after, talk fests, songs, stories and a Vesper Service around a huge camp-fi1'e-then home. Despite the weather they had one of the best hikes ever, as the girls who did come out on such a day were ones who really liked hiking. By this time they had their ln- terest Groups started, fourteen dif- ferent ones in all. Towards the middle of November they had a candy sale, clearing about thirty dollars to help with Christmas So- cial Service. The November meeting had to be postponed several times but was finally held on Tuesday, November 27th. Dr. Marion Hilliard having recently been in England and dif- ferent countries of Europe spoke to them on World Friendship. Marjory Beer of Victoria College led the girls in a sing-song of songs of different countries. Then some of the girls put on a tableau. Dres- sed in costumes of different na- tionalities with a little Canadian girl in middie and skirt, at the front holding a blue triangle, they formed a triangle and sang the Y. W.C.A., song. Then Kay Maybee finished our meeting by reading the poem: In Christ there is no East nor West, Ili Him no South nor North. But one great Fellowship of Love. Throughout the whole wide earth.
