As this year has been crowded with many eventful happenings, time has flown by and we are now in our last term. School had only just opened when preparations began for our Fiftieth Anniversary Celebrations. On Trafalgar Day we were given a holiday. In the morning we all went to St. Andrew ' s and St. Paul ' s Church where we had an anniversary service specially arranged by the Old Girls. Dr. Donald, assisted by Archdeacon Almond, spoke to us. He brought to our minds the great traditions which had been founded in the school and put before us high ideals which we as students must carry on. Following the Service a luncheon was given by the Old Girls in the School Assembly Hall to which the Sixth Forms were kindly invited. We enjoyed seeing many of the Old Girls whom we knew and also many Old Girls who have now children of their own at school. Very appropriate at this time came the founding of our new House system. So far the change has been most successful and we wish it success in the coming year. This year has also been a successful one in sports. Our two Basketball Teams finished the season without a single defeat, thus winning both the Cups of the Private Schools Basketball League. We began early in the winter to practice for the Inter- scholastic Ski Meet which was again held at Piedmont under the supervision of the Penguin Ski Club. The races this season were much more enthusiastically contested by the schools than last year. A second time we came home as victors bringing with us a beautiful award. This was the Molson Shield with the Penguin ' s Emblem carved in relief in the centre. It now hangs in a prominent place in the Gym and is one of oui proudest possessions. The best of luck to those working for it next year! The winning team, Grace and Isobel Wurtele, Dorothy Staniforth and Joyce Kendall, are to be con- gratulated for their racing and also Joy Symons who won the Junior Cup. The Demonstration was a great success this year and we wish to thank Miss Parker for all her hard work which made it go so well. We have had many interesting addresses this year. The first one was from Dean Cronkhite of Radcliffe College. She spoke about the great importance that should be laid upon choosing the right College. It should be chosen not because it was near or far from home but because it was most suited to the line of work which was desired to be [16]

followed. Archdeacon Gower-Rees spoke to us on Armistice Day and Ash Wednesday. We had a very interesting address with illustrated slides by Bishop Fleming on his work in the Arctic. He showed us many interesting pictures of the Governor-General ' s first visit to that part of Canada. He went for the purpose of opening a new hospital which had just been completed. Miss Hazell again visited us and gave us more news about her work in the West. We also enjoyed illustrated lectures by Mr. Dan MacCowan on wild plant and animal life in Western Canada and by Mr. Humphreys on the beauties of British Columbia in his lecture See Canada First . A representative of the Scripture Reading Union came and spoke to us about its work. Dr. Donald also came several times to speak to us. We were very sorry that he was unable to be with us at the end of the first term but this was unavoidable because we closed school suddenly. We all regret very much that Mrs. Mitchell is leaving us at the end of the term. We are greatly indebted to her for all her work both in teaching and in promoting dramatics. We wish her every happiness in her new life and hope that she will come back to visit us whenever she is in Montreal. Our congratulations go to all those who passed matriculation last year, especially Jean Douglass and Ruperta Macaulay who tied for the Grace Fairley Scholarship. We are also very proud of Hester Williams who headed the Senior Matric results in the Province but we had great hopes after her brilliant results in Junior Matric the pre- ceding year. We have a large class going to write their final examinations this year. To all these we wish great success. We trust their happy days at Traf will always be remembered and that when our School reaches its second span of fifty years we may perhaps meet and recall our happy days.
