I grew up with Dr. Foster and Trafalgar School! 1 say that advisedly, because to nie the names of Dr. Foster and Trafalgar are synonymous, Trafalgar with the finest of old traditions, and Dr. Foster, the living symbol of its existence. From my first year in Preparatory in 1954, and in each successive year, both names, in my ripening understanding, became bonded closer and more stronglv, until today I cannot envisage Trafalgar without Dr. Foster. I am sure that Dr. Foster ' s sterling qualities of leadership, character, and unprejudiced sense of justice could not help but make a lasting impression upon the thousands of students who have been privileged to know her. This indelible engraving upon the minds of the young women who have graduated during her twenty-five years of office has resulted in the outstanding and proud record of discipline and scholastic achievement for which Trafalgar School is renowned. It is indeed with great regret that we learn of Dr. Foster ' s retirement, as undoubtedly her influence and bearing, so distinctive of the old Trafalgar tradition, will be most difficult, if not impossible to replace. We wish Dr. Foster a long and happy retirement, as a reward for her long and devoted service to the School, and we are sure that in our memories she will never be forgotten. Renee Morganti, Arts VI I entered Trafalgar School in the Fifth Form and so speak as a new girl. My first impressions of Dr. Foster were her directness with students and generosity with her time. No matter how busy her schedule, she has always been willing to discuss our problems and our aspirations. It was with regret that the student body learned of Dr. Foster ' s resignation, to become effective in June, 1965. We who have known her can be happy in the knowledge that, for those students who follow, her touch will remain within the traditions and heritage of Trafalgar School. Marcia David, Arts VI AVE ATQUE VALE [15]

No one knows better than I, who have worked with ber lor twenty -live y(;ars, tbe time, thought and energy that Dr. Foster has given to th ; administration ol the school. Yet she has always found tbe time to teach the Kilih and Sixth Kf rni History and the Sixth Form Scripture. She has also brought lustre; to T rafalgar by her eminent and respected position in educational circles. She was President of the Montreal Historical Association from 1950 to 19.52, and of the (Canadian Headmistresses ' Association from 1951 to 1953, and has twice been the official delegate of the Headmistresses ' Association to the meetings of the National Association of Principals of Girls ' Schools in tbe United States, at Rye, N.Y., in 1946, and at New Orleans last spring. In 1963 she attended the conference of the British Headmistresses ' Association at Cambridge as a specially invited guest. She is also a member of the McGill Alumnae Society and the (Canadian Institute of International Affairs, and a Director of the University Women ' s Club and of the Montreal Parks and Playgrounds Association. Dr. Foster has many ovitstanding qualities. One is her remarkable ability to assess character quickly; another is her gift of making quick and wise decisions. Her choice of staff, and her strong support of the staff, have made for a harmonious and friendly relationship among the teachers. She has an intimate knowledge of each girl in the school, and her concern is for each as an individual with her own problems. Finally, Dr. Foster ' s unfailing loyalty and devotion to the school, her strength of character, courage, honesty, and refusal to com- promise with what she believes to be wrong, have been a source of admiration ami inspiration to us all. Her retirement will mean a great loss to the school, and we shall all miss her, none more than I. Our affection and gratitude go out to her, and our best wishes lor a hap{)y and interesting sabbatical year, which she so richly deserves, and for health and happiness in the years to come. J.E.H.
