My dear Girls, While I write I am thinking of the summer holidays that are just ahead of us and I want to send you away with a happy but worthwhile thought. In one of our favourite hymns you will find this line- Life full and free before you lies - A summer holiday can be as ffl!! as you choose to make it and because it is holiday time you are comparatively free. A full life is a happy life and busy people are happy people, An excellent plan for a long holiday is to decide on some worthwhile project to which you can turn when you want to be busy. During a long holiday there are always moments when little people say, What shall I do now? Middle-sized people say, I have nothing to do! and big-sized people silently wish for the unexpected to break into the too even existence of their pleasant holiday. Discover the unexpected within yourself. What have you wanted to do during the term for which you have not been able to find time? Is it reading or perhaps writing? Try writing a play for children and then gather a cast and direct it yourself. I-Iave you discovered that you have some ability in art? Perhaps you will try working with oils or pastels. Is it extra time for piano practice that you have been wanting or would it be typing or perhaps weaving? Whatever it may be equip yourself with tools, materials and instructions-be they from library, book store or craftshop and then set yourself a goal lest you leave the task half-learned or incomplete. This is your holiday and you are free to plan a project or not as you choose but remem- ber that anything worthwhile will take time and effort, therefore choose something that will give you real satisfaction. A word about the freedom of holidays-the joy of freedom and the danger of freedom. While you will be protected and guided by your parents in your holiday plans, still you older girls will have many happy hours to plan for yourselves. As you grow up you are given more and more freedom depending on how you prove yourself respon- sible. If you have learned the importance and necessity of courtesy, obedience, honesty and self-control in everyday life your freedom will bring you happiness. But if when pro- voked you lose control, when tempted you are deceitful, or are rude and slow to obey, then you still need the protection of rules from without. So soon as you establish within yourself a set of self-imposed rules that you feel you must keep, then you are free. In closing let us see the next line of this hymn- ' Life full and free before you lies, Make Christ your Saviour King. To you all, but particularly to those of you who are not returning, these two lines can mean so much. Take with you all the best your school has given to you and committing your future into Gods hands for His continued guidance, enjoy a happy, full and free Summer holiday. With my love to you all, 1 Nami gf,-za vauenlcrnmr Dear Girls, A Chinese writer once said that success in life depends upon the number of persons to whom one can make oneself agreeable. As your Head Girl for the past year I hope I have to some extent succeeded in accomplishing this. This ofhce has been a tremendous experience for me-one that I shall not soon forget-one that has taught me many things. I shall long remember you all, and the year 1953-1954. From the time my appointment was announced at the Closing last june I have always felt your sincere cooperation, I thank you one and all for your friendliness and your unfailing loyalty un- der all circumstances and at all times. My eight years in this school have been very happy ones. To have been a student year after OUR HEAD GIRLFCAROL MACAULAY year for that length of time has indeed been rewarding, Each of these years can be remem- bered very vividly and has brought pleasant experiences. Each has also presented its prob- lems, but looking back only the hills are remem- beredg the valleys are forgotten. And now, though dillicult, I must say goodbye to Balmoral Hall-to the beautiful groundseto the buildings in which we have learned and laughed-to Miss Miirrell- Wfright, our Headmistress, who takes a sincere interest in the welfare of each one of us and to whom no effort on behalf of Balmoral Hall is too great-to the Staff who have guided us-to the prefetts who have worked with me and helped me in my tasks, finally to you, my good friends, I say farewell. It is my earnest wish that Balmoral Hall will encounter success upon success and this is not too muth to ask from .1 school blessed with such enthusiasm and loyal spirit. As I present my pin to our next Head Girl I shall be eager for her success as she takes the reins to guide you next year. All my love, CAROL. OUR PREFECTS BACK ROW-Diana Duncan.

Mugs had heard that the set up was pretty good and as it was only going to be for a period of four weeks, he allowed himself to fall into circumstances which landed him in a cage. Abednegos purpose was different. While chewing through a Medical Science journal he suddenly felt a call for service and in answer, had volunteered So the two rodents who had never scampered across each other's path before, now found them- selves living side by side, but in very different conditions. Abednegos cage was well lighted, airy, austere but comfortably furnished and well de- signed for cleanliness and sanitation. Mugs' cage was more luxurious with plenty of scraps of soft fluff, but a health inspector could see at a glance that it was not designed for healthful, efficient living. Abednegos diet consisted of milk, vege- tables, fruit, whole grain cereals and liver. His routine consisted of sleep, exercise and oppor- tunity to develop his mouse mind. Mugs was allowed to nibble at cake and candy and drink pop all day long. This was all that he was re- quired to do, although for amusement, he could read the comics that lined his cage floor. Now, you may not know it, but each of these rodents considered himself to be in paradise. Perhaps to t VR ,:,..- lr-ul ,....,.-. F r and Mugs understand this you would like to know of their life histories and backgrounds. Abednego belonged to the Upper Crust of mice, known as Mus musulus. He was born in a hole in the wall of a six pillar mansion and from his first bite of Roquefort cheese was well established into the life of a cultured mouse of the Old School . Being well brought up he was taught neither to be seen nor heard, and to sit quietly among the pipes of the organ during Sunday Wor- ship. His scholastic abilities were very highly de- veloped and he had even eaten Les Miserables at the age of two months, fwhich is equal to the age of ten years in humansj Mugs was a rat, a rackateer rat who ran a Bu- bonic Plague Ring, He was born at the corner of No. 2 Lateral and No. 16 Main of No, 10 Sewer. In his teens he had been the leader of a hoodlum gang called the Gnawersu the members of which let nothing escape the mark of their incisors. From his earliest moments he knew he had to depend on his wits for survival. If his brothers keeled over after eating a certain innocent-loking morsel, he carefully avoided the same. He had a number of close escapes to his credit, One time he was caught in a warehouse that was being fumigated, but by burying his nose in a wad of cotton pack- ing he was able to wriggle to safety. Now you may understand the reason why these two creatures had no objection to the treatment they were to undergo. Mugs needed a good rest. Four weeks of being fed with the kind of food he had always dreamed of! Also. things had been getting a little too hot around No. 10 lately and he welcomed the chance of being treated royally by humans. Not many rats ever found themselves in such a position. I may not have mentioned it, but Abednego was a hen-pecked mouse. His wife Arabella, along with all his social engagements, gave him little time in which to write his Analysis of the Psy- chological Effect Mice Have Upon Elephants. He considered his cage to be a perfect private study where he could become a recluse for four weeks. A well ordered routine aided him in his work. Rising early in the morning he would do a few push-ups then climb to the top of his cage and do a few hang downs by his tail. After a good breakfast he would get to work. His only inter- ruption through tbe whole day was when he was weighed by the white-coated humans, but be took pride in the way his line graph on the cage climb- ed each day. Mugs took no interest in his graph. Perhaps this could be attributed to his failing eyesight for he was already showing the signs of Vitamin A deficiency. Soon he couldn't make out the name of Sleezy Slim's late gun moll in the crime comic on the bottom of his cage. Poor Mugs was sinking into a sad state! He couldn't understand why he, living in luxury, was wasting away, while that mousy book-worm in the next cage was gain- ing in health and vigour. One day in about the third week, he was lying listlessly on the bottom of his cage when he sud- denly began to suspect-candy, cake and pop! He resolved to go on a hunger strike with the hope of dying. That evening as he lay with his eyes closed, preparing himself for the prospect of death, delicious odours from the next cage drifted past his nostrils. Dragging himself, he followed his nose and with hunger-glazed eyes looked up beseech- ingly at Abednego. Now Abednego was not a snob, and although he knew this rat to be a rather rough character, he did not hesitate to help a fellow in distress. Quickly he dipped a piece of his whole wheat bread into milk, tied his tail around it, and by this means, passed it through the small wire mesh to Mugs. .For three days he continued these unselfish acts ot mercy and gradually Mugs regained his strength. Abednego chuckled when he noticed the baffle- ment of the white-coated humans as Mugs' line graph began to climb. Finally these humans dis- li iii. , 1 'l' 'J 6 ,U 4?

They seemed to be salished with the way Mugs had performed during the last three weeks and so relented and gave him a proper diet. Life began again for Mugs. Besides a physical change, he underwent a great mental and spiritual reformation. Aibednego became his ideal and from him he learned of the better, nobler things of life. At the end of the four weeks, the two friends were parted. Abednego went back to Arabella proudly carrying his newly completed book and satisfied that he had done his share for the ad- vancement of science. Mugs went back to the sewers, but not back to his old ways. Instead he returned as a missionary, proudly wearing a white collar. Soon be became known throughout No, 10 as Fighting Father Rat.

Abednego is the embodiment of grave dignity, while Fighting Father Rat aroztses cur unqualified admiration! The touch is light and the humour wr-ll sustained throughout the story. !?. cs.- . The Shoe It lay lazily, gently bobbing in the water as the waves rose and fell beneath it. The sole was of rubber, the sugary rub-ber that had had lumps pulled off by grubby little hands. A knotted lace clung to the damp leather, The waves continued to rise and to fall, bringing the voices of the water to the shoe. No, Bud, no luck. How about you? It was the relaxed voice of the Wednesday afternoon fisherman. If I don't bring something home this time, Mother will have me up for failure to support the family. The reply was not toned so seriously as it was phrased. They sure don't bite on these sunny days. I've a notion to haul in that shoe over there. Least I'd have some catch, Well, good luck ! Right-cheerio, Charles, and the waves con- tinued to lap at the shoe. Young voices, more in.erested voices than those of the fishermen were transmitted next by the watery key. You're about the best swimmer, for a girl, that I've seen. Really? Oh, youre just saying that. The waves had waved that phrase before, and now they tinted the tone to the delicate blushing pink. You know, I'm a poet. This frank confession was quite audible and fostered an adoring . . . Really! I-low wonderful! Yes, spoken with that same frankness. What do you write poetry about? Oh, anything . . . do you see that shoe over there? It brings poetry to me and words of rhythm rush from my brain- Oh, shoe: how do you do? In the water Your shade is turning slightly blue, In the water. -And the same waves that had brought these voices to the shoe, carried them away. The water became rough. The once gently nibbling waves began to bite, showing their foam- ing fangs. But still, the voices were carried to the shoe. I wish you hand't made me come -a woman's voice, nervous and unsteady. Everything reminds me . . . Don't remember, jan -pleaded a steadier, masculine voice. just forget . . . and enjoy the ride. The waves brought silence. In innocence the shoe came into sight. Di . . . ck! The waves transmitted the hor- rible cry. It was more an echo of the mournful wail last summer, than companion to the shaking finger, pointing at another shoe. jan, my poor, dear jan. It is only a shoe, just ii shoe-not little Rick's,-oh, jan . . The roar of a motor intervened, Its steadily turning armature sent a pattern of regulated whrres across the water to the shoe. The pace slackened, and voices were silhouetted on the motor's hum. You think you lost it near that buoy? Yes, and I hope it is still there. Dad, it will be, don't you think? Oh, I hope . . A voice, offside, and a trifle sarcastic, Our son has become responsible. Then laughingly it con- tinued, Yes, son, if it hasn't sunk. Oh, I don't think it would, the youth replied with a questioning faith. Then more hopeful again, his voice came, I know we shall find it . . . For a time the waves brought many sounds. Yes! Look! Over there! toned with childish, but earnest excitement. A bewildered voice replied, Oh . . . good. We shall have it in a minutef' Yes, I've almost got it. His voice was expect- ant. Why, Dad, but it's not here, he's gone-Dad, he's gone. What is it boy? You have your shoe? 'No, Dad. Croak. Croak has gone! Oh, the voice was relieved, then comforting . . . Croak will 'be quite safe . . . and you have your shoe. SUB AQUAM . , . a green webbed foot stretch- ed a lazy farewell to its curious sun shade, the shoe. Dawna Duncan, Grade XI. THE SHOE The story indicates promise rather than achievement, being interesting for its style rather than its content. The theme however is somewhat ambitious and needs a surer handling to hc entirely satisfying. I VVonder I wonder how the stars stay up, And why the sun is round, Or why we never tumble off Into the space around. I wonder how our body works, And how names came to be, Or why all camels have big humps, And why there're waves at sea. I think I could keep wondering, For ever and for aye, But now I really must leave off, And put this thing away. R. Lloyd-Davies. Grade VIII. gg ggggggrgg g g g I3 BLTXRNP Any other time Twinkletoes McThistle:horn was a friend of mine, but tonight at dinner she sat silently on my shoulder. I didn't notice, though, for I was diverting my friends gaze from my two brothers, who, par excellence, were conducting the usual show at their end of the table for her bene- fit. Then Twinkletoes' impatient foot tapped my shoulder. Let's be bad, she suggested eagerly. I'm eating, I replied. Silence ensued. All right, she exclaimed, then I'll give your mother the BLTXRNP! What's that? I asked indifferently. It makes you do what you've always wanted to do-your secret desire, she explained excitedly. Intriguing, I returned, shrugging my shoul- ders, My mischievous friend then fluttered down sulkily. Then here goes, she called rather carelessly. It is hard to describe but mother, a young moth- er, rose from the table in a flowing blue gown, and, to the strain of an appropriate Strauss Waltz, began to dance around and around on the arm of a gallant Frenchman. I glanced sympathetically toward dad, who had a very dark, red face. As Twinkletoes advanced on dad, I made a lunge at her. Atbove the sound of music and laughter I heard a horse's shrill whinny. My youngest broth- er, in full mounties' regalia, was directing imag- inary troops across the living-room carpet. Thank you so much for the meal, but we must be getting alongf' This was a calm voice at my back. I turned to see a vaguely familiar woman departing out the door with a child in her arms, and at least four more clinging to her skirt. With a cry of wonder I ran once more to the dining-room, but my last hope had vanished. The chuckling, stooped man with an armful of test-tubes and chemistry books was my brother. Twinkletoes McThistlethorn sat triumphantly in the crook of his arm. Now it's your turn, she grinned maliciously. The protestations of the horse and the waltz seem- ed to crescendo in my ears as I cried, No, don't come near me! Stop! I found it hard to adjust myself at purrist-I mean first, but meow-I mean now, I find my claws and speed very handy when I am hungry. Do you know, this afternoon I ate my first mouse. I love washing my black hair with my rough tongue. Meow! Brenda Dougall, Grade IX.

Evening It was evening, the sun was just sinking beyond the far west horizon. The mountains which a few minutes before had been a crimson and gold were now a deep purple shade. The sky in the west was orange tinting to crimson. At the far east the sky was deep blue. The insects had begun to come out and a nightingale had begun to sing. Everywhere it was calm and peaceful. A rabbit came hopping by on its way to bed. A fox came slinking by on its nightly prowl. In the woods close by an owl hooted and was answered by another on the other side. A trout splashed in the lake below. Slowly the sun sank beyond the horizon. Soon nature was all asleep. A chilly breeze rustled the tall pines. God's children were asleep. Susan Dickinson, Grade VII. Ma . -. as B The Scar It was a dull, dreary night, and as Pamela lay in her cozy bed, she could hear the lapping of the waves on the cold barren beach, and the rhythm- ical pattern of the rain pattering on the roof of the cottage. She was all alone and the rustle of the poplar leaves along with the dreariness of the Cold night whispered evil. Pamela's imagination wandered from weird crea- tures to even more weird objects. Forcing herself to think of more pleasant things, she finally settled down, and drifted off into a deep sleep, Sometime during the night she was awakened by knocks on the front door. At hrst she thought it was just the rain on the roof, as she had heard all evening, but again she heard three distinct knocks. After wait- ing for quite a long time, she realized that her parents still were not home, and thinking that someone might desperately need help, she ran quickly to the door. There, standing on the door- step, was a little old lady, wearing a black shawl, iglilllili 'i l lf' me f b i ig i P' 26' ig- , ll 4 'l 1 -I ,i e l ' .Zhi ll it l s I 5, Til I i llfl f I i i4f fM,, mn11a 1l fffv l1fAA which was tightly drawn around her. More notice- able than her minute size, was the T-shaped scar which she had over her left eye. Without waiting, she pushed past the girl, dropped into a chair, and asked, 'Have you a boat? Quite astonished the child said that they had, and it was out on the beach. Without another word the old woman scurried out of the cottage and ran, forcing her way through the driving rain, down to the beach. But, cried Pamela, you had better not take it because- Before she could finish the sentence the old lady was pushing the boat off into the tur- bulent waters. Helplessly Pamela stood with the door ajar, and above the roar of the waves she heard some of the words that the old woman shrieked. Take care my child! If anything should hap- pen to me this night-will be sorry-youebut. Within a year you will lose the use of your legs, and stay-the rest of-life. Troubled about what the woman had said, Pam- ela crawled back into bed, and prayed that nothing would happen, Morning soon arrived accompanied by the merry sunshine, her mother's cheery voice, and the gay chirps from Cheeco their budgie. Before break- fast Pamela went out into the kitchen, and feeling quite relieved that her past experience was only a dream, she started to tell her mother all about the weird old woman, with the dreadful scar. Before she could finish, her father called and asked if she would run down to the store and buy him a pair of shoe laces. Saying that she would complete the story later, Pam skipped off down the road to the general store. When she arrived, she noticed that there was a great commotion down on the beach and the peo- ple were madly talking and some carrying blankets. Curious, Pamela ran down to see what had hap- pened. No one knew exactly what had taken place, but they did know that someone had drowned. Whether it was a male or female no one knew, for no one dare look. Pamela looked over at the picnic table where the body had been placed, and covered. At once her eyes fell upon a black piece of cloth that hung below the blanket. With her heart beating like a drum inside her, she walk- ed slowly to the table, and after closing her eyes tightly. her shaking hands reached for the cover. After drawing back the quilt, she slowly raised her eyelids, and there on the ghostly white face was the T-shaped scar above her left eye. There lay the woman whom she had seen last night, in what she had thought was a dream! Then Pamela re- membered what the old woman had shrieked at her as she rocked about in the waves. If anything should happen to me this night. -something had happened- Within a year you will lose the use of your legs -How many more days-one, two, ten, fifty-would she be able to walk, run, and play as any other child could? With this thought lingering in her subconscious, Pamela faced the rest of her doomed days. Diana Duncan, Grade XI. THE SCAR A well-organized story with good word-manipulation! A fine contrast is drawn between the carefree Pamela and the little, old, burdened woman. The climax itself is well-handled, creat- ing suspense and a vague uneasiness in the mind of the reader. . -.--cG-l5 Shoes for Nancy She might go lame or get the blues If she should lack a pair of shoes. Get her sandals? Get her spikes? QThe first are worn by little tykesj. What of satin? What of leather Suitable for any weather? White for summer, black for fall, Tan for anytime at all? Something toeless? Something suede? fThese perhaps in Paris made?j All of these would be too fancy For my darling little Nancy. What of linen? fgood for sportsj Or rubber things of different sorts? Tell me, does she run and play? However does she spend the day? Does she dance half through the night? Or play at cards with all her might? Has she a liking for buckles and bows? Or does she go in for corns on her toes? How about waders right up to the thigh With diamond studs to catch the eye? None of these will do. Of course Nancy is my saddle horse. jane Savage, Grade X. Before the Curtain Goes Up As you tug open the heavy stage door and breeze past the watchful doorman, your head held high, and dancing kit your passport to fairyland in your hand, a feeling of smug superiority assails you. You are a part of this fairyland, part of this wonderful, exciting thing called show business. A familiar thrill of satisfaction runs up and down your spine and you skip down the cement steps two at a time. Down, down you go to the tiny barren cubicles with the glaring electric light bulbs and the ever-lingering odour of grease-paint. There is a certain, special magic about these rooms. Maybe it is the rows and rows of glitter- ing tutus with their stiff, dainty skirts. Maybe it is the pile of shiny pink pointed shoes heaped carelessly in the corner, toes newly darned, rib- bons stil crisp. Perhaps it is the smudgy mirror, the littered dressing tables, strewn with sticks of make-up, jars of cold cream and crumpled tissues. The magic, regardless of its origin, is potent. Once under its spell you are destined to remain under it always. I The theatre is quiet. Quickly you slip out of your coat, tie back your hair with a towel and seat yourself at the cluttered table. The transformation begins. Steadily and diligently you work, The minutes tick past. Sounds of the awakening theatre penetrate your wall of concentration. Dan- cers drift in and out. Have you some extra pins? Oh no! My zipper is broken 3 The transformation progresses. The crowd begins to arrive. Wisps of idle chatter float down from above. My dear, these seats are exquisite! I wonder how much Mrs. Blaine paid for that creation? The members of the orchestra start tuning their beloved instru- ments. The din increases. An air of suppressed excitement fills the theatre. A call boy rushes through the hall, Five minutes, ladies. The first gong sounds. Over your sleek, jewelled head the fluffy tutu slips. Hurriedly two slender feet are thrust into shiny slippers, shaking fingers fumble with the ribbons. One last quick glance at the smudgy mirror-almond shaped eyes, shaded lids, beaded lashes, flawless snow-white comple- xion, glistening netted hair. The house lights are dimmed, a hush falls over the audience. A burst of polite applause for the conductor and then the first soft, sweet strains of the overture descend, Last nervous glance at the tiny good-luck charm tacked above the dresser, last flick of the powder puff over the newly made- up face already shining with perspiration, last silent prayer-then a soft knock at the door and an even softer whisper, You're on, miss. 'Sonja Nelson, Grade XII. On Being Short Some people are inclined to believe there are no advantages in being short. To those especially, I dedicate this story. On the morning of November ninth, Miss Mur- rell-Wright gave five of us the surprise of our lives. Mavis Gossling, Maureen Hunt, joan Gun- ston, Helen Smith and myself were to be pages in the Sadler's Wells Ballet-not because we were good, mind you, but only because we were short! Maureen, Helen and joan had the thrill of car- rying on to the stage the White Cat fDorothea Zaymesj perched on her satin cushion, during the third act of Sleeping Beauty . Then they posed as monkeys behind trees, for Little Red Riding Hood fApri1 Olrichj. Mavis and I, as pages, stood transfixed, as we witnessed Margot Fonteyn do thirty-two jouettes fsome argue thirty-onej in Swan Lake . In the Sleeping Beauty , tingling with excitement, we carried the trains of the King and Queen fArnott Mader and Greta Hambyj throughout the court scene. After each performance, quite a gathering of Balmoralites could be found in our dressingroom. We made -sure that we had the stars' autographs, some of us boasting as many as ten, We were also the proud possessors of Miss Fonteyn's discarded toe shoes and Violetta Elvin's wilted roses, With these treasures in hand, we left the auditorium, five of the happiest shorties one could ever meet. Susan Carnegie, Grade X. 16g Monkey Seeg Monkey No Do I could still hear them, even though I hunched my shoulders and stared grimly at the back wall with its mocking picture of a chartreuse jungle, and caricatures of us doing the most silly things. Remil, carrying the show as usual, sat on 21 high branch, eating peanuts and insulting the crowd. Shisim sat at his side, occasionally delivering a comment. Hey, Sa-ada! Remil called, Come up here. You'll get used to it! I looked at them and blink- ed undecidedly. Please do, Sa-ada, Shisim pleaded in her voice that always made you smile. Well, I would come, but I certainly wasn't performing for those chat- tering humans out there. Look at that big fat man, doesn't he look like Remil? giggled Shisim. I nervously nodded, but Remil was teasing a little boy for more peanuts. A big voice thundered below me and the fat man was offering me a peanut. Dare I? Shisim, giving me a Go on, Sa-ada, urged push which nearly upset me. At that, a great roar went u from the humans. I looked at Shisim were both laughing. and thdv fat man, but they At me? I covered my face with my hands. An- other great roar went up. The fat man didn't have a peanut anymore. He had given it to Remil. 1 You-you horrid big blunderbuss, you awful elephant! I exploded. People's laughing red faces met me again. Miseraible, I ran down and hunched 'again before the mocking chartreuse jungle. Brenda Dougall, Grade IX. The Fascination of the Forbidden Dedicated to all those children who do pull up i Cwith apologies to Columfbusj . . . Push down, don't pull up. The italic word don't attracts us immediately. We are not an 'ornery' race-but in our blood there is a cor- puscle foreign to all but American children. It all began about 1492 when an Italian fellow was told not to sail too far away from Spain, or he would fall off the world. Christopher was not a difficult chap-he just wanted to see how far he could go before he fell off. But he did not fall off! I-Ie sailed to America and there he begat us-a new people-people whose blood contains CC.-Columbus Corpuscles. The addition of CC. to our life stream was, on the whole, a good one. CC. blooded people are more brave, more resolute, more diligent and more adventurous than people without these cor- puscles. However, this supplement producedone dangerous tendency-the tendency to do a don't. Therefore, I am speaking in defence of us who, due to our inheritance, are fascinated by the for- bidden. Don't-itis begins at an early age, and we, Christopher's descendants, cannot control ourselves when we are very young. The don't in every statement draws our attention more surely than the magnet draws the pin. There is in us an al- most insatiable desire to see what will happen, and only under the careful supervision of some- one older, can our first don't tendencies be checked. But, as we grow older, the Columbus corpuscles themselves change. You see, the same blood that originally dared to fall off the world finally flowed into a new port. And other CC. carriers have proven that they too, can eventually find a harbour. In closing may I ask something of my opponents Qworthy and now, I trust enlightenedj and some- thing of my colleagues fgrateful, perhaps?j. You people who have not our corpuscles, have patience with us in our strivings, and assist us. Make your requests positive. And children-be fascinated by the forbidden- but for every don't that you do-find, as Col- umbus did, an America. P.S . . . Don't believe a word of this. Dawna Duncan, Grade XI. Customs She fell back terrified as she opened the door. There, illuminated by the porch light, stood a crowd of marauders. Behind them in the dark- ness she saw more sinister figures grouped about. Out of the black night came shouts and jeers, blood-curdling screams, and other ominous sounds. What is this? she asked herself and glanced fearfully at her husband who quickly came to her side. Together they stood in full sight of the fierce gathering, ready for anything that might happen. The group on the doorstep moved for- ward peering at the frightened couple and gazing about the room. What do you want? asked the man. A short figure in ragged clothes laughed gleefully, as another tattered beggar stamped over to the couple and stared into their eyes. Trick or treat! he warned them as his mates held open the bags they carried. The two bewildered immi- grants began to understand. It was all a joke. Thinking of the bag of oranges in the cupboard she hurried to the kitchen and returned with the bag. Off came the children's masks as the oranges were distributed. There was the boy from next door and the little girl from across the street. just children! Next year they would know of this cus- tom, but it had certainly frightened them this year.

WI7 I tl' lil: ff 0 a , S 7 S akin S i nl I C '- r' was The Christmas Carol Service The spirit of Bethlehem was felt very clearly at our fourth annual Carol Service held on Decem- ber 18th. We shared this beautiful service with a host of parents and friends and came away enriched with the feeling of 'good will towards men. The School entered the tree-lighted Assembly Hall singing Once in Royal David's City and after the opening prayer by Rev. Wm. C. Graham, the junior Dramatic Class presented Why the Chimes Rang , a short play so truly in keeping with the spirit of the Service. An interlude of traditional Carols in which the voices of School, choir and congregation joined, was followed by the Nativity readings and tableaux by the Senior Dramatic Class, accompanied by the School Choir. We were indeed in another age as we listened to the angels' song of peace on earth, as the humble shepherds knelt to adore the tiny Babe and as the Wise Men came again to Bethlehem from the East. After the Benediction, pronounced by the Very Reverend J. O. Anderson, the School recessed singing Hark the Herald Angels Sing and as this well-known Carol came to an end it was evident that the Spirit of Christmas remained. Recitals: With an increased enrollment, and more music- ians, the music staff has been kept quite busy this year. All talent was displayed by both junior and seniors in the fall and spring recitals. With june close at hand, all of the pupils are concentrating on their choicest compositions, which will be heard at the final recital. Symphony for the Juniors One day about the middle of December Mrs. Price said we were to have some fun. There was to be a Symphony Concert for grades four to six. It was on Wednesday at one o'clock, We were going! The second number was jonathan and His Gingery Snare. jonathan goes into the woods to look for a pet. He finds different instruments and takes them home for pets. There were several more pieces performed. One was the Pizzicato Polka. In this number the violinists plucked their violins with their fingers. Then there was Sleigh Ride. You could hear bells jingling, a whip cracking and at the end a horse neighed. To close the con- cert were Christmas Carols and when Mr. Kauf' mann invited us, we sang with all our might. Patricia McMahon. Grade IV. Concerts: Winnipegs celebrity concerts were exceedingly outstanding this year. The boarders have attended several concerts. We specially enjoyed Brailowskys recital and in the spring term, two famous artists, Heifitz and Dame Myra Hess, greatly inspired all listeners. Their mastery of the violin and piano was the topic of numerous conversations, The students of grades seven, eight, and nine are now looking forward to attending the Minneapolis Symphony. Music Appreciation: S All music appreciation classes are made more interesting by the use of our extensive library of records. Many enjoyable hours are spent in the drawing-room listening to good music. A three speed attachment has proved most useful, and has permitted us to increase our record library.

And certainly, young Bal- moral Hall has never spent such a night as she spent the night of February fifth, when the Moth- er's Auxiliary launched the Building-Development- Fund. Sea cadets, to whom we are greatly indebted, greeted our guests as they boarded the ship and capped each visitor with a G, S Balmoral Hall hat. The white knotted railing and netted stairway led the guests up to the mess on the upper deck. To the right of the captain's cabin the head girl, Carol MacAulay, announced the guests who were received by Mrs. Sellers, Miss Murrell-Wright, Captain for the evening, and Mrs. Nixon. Draped with flags and nautical symbols the warmly-lighted gymnasium was a real marine din- ing-room. Fish net curtains covered the windows, and flags, buoys, life-preservers, and anchors col- oured the walls and heightened the rafters. Above the bridge with its brass deck rails and the ship's wheel was a large coloured portrait of our Queen. The smorgasbord, festively arrayed with turkeys, spiced hams, planked salmon and tempting salads, was presided over by chef-capped fathers, B.H.S. sailors escorted guests to their tables on the port or starboard sides of the room. Each table was nautically set in red, white, and blue, with life- saver menus and sail serviettesf' The desserts and beverages were served by the waitresses wearing dainty aprons over uniforms. Photograph- ers and Hower girls and pirates wandered among the tables taking pictures and selling souvenirs to the guests. Our Hoor shows at seven and eight o'clock won approval from each audience. The middle-school, from the flag-bordered gallery, opened each pro- gramme with the singing of grace. The Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Leach, welcomed the visitors and announced the numbers as the programme proceeded. The navy chorus line, ably trained by Mrs. Pennock and accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Flood, added zip and colour to the enter- tainment. At the sound of the whistle the middied deck-swabbers began the traditional sailor's horn- pipe and we thank Miss Macgregor and Mrs. Urban for making our performance traditional.'I Another whistle signal was the cue for the Ship, In an instant Balmoral Hall became the G.S Bal- moral Hall, complete with funnels, flags, and lights. Captain MacAulay gave her orders and every porthole, sailor and wave from grade one to grade twelve, added her music to the medley which followed- A Capital Ship , All the nice girls love a Sailor , We sail the Ocean Blue, and our own school song, made ship-shape for the occasion. Games on the lower deck provided after-din- ner entertainment for the shuffleboard athletes and dart throwers. Davy jones' locker was opened that evening where fishermen could catch their trea- sures. Movies were shown in the ward-room. At nine o'clock, when the Smorgasbord excur- sion was completed, the G.S. Balmoral docked. Our passengers landed with memories of good food, good entertainment, good fun and good- will. We, the crew, from the galleys, the ward- room, the cabins, and the decks, and our Captain from the bridge, watched our guests depart and were silently proud of our Good Ship Balmoral Hall.

The Buoys boarded the good ship in eager groups and met their Belles in the Mermaid Lounge. From there we proceeded to the Captains Bridge to be greeted by Miss Murrell-Wright, Captain and l-leadmistress, and Carol MacAulay. Bos'n and Headgirl, Harold Hunter and his orchestraeadded zip to our gala evening and jive fans, charleston fans and spirited bunny-hoppers could be seen in full- swing as the evening progressed. While the orchestra had a rest, two numbers from the Smorgasbord entertainment were pre- sented. The day girls repeated their chorus and the boarders their sailors' hornpipe. Both were well received and gave added novelty to the evening. Another quick-change act produced the enter- tainers in party dress again and with our escorts we headed for the games deck to look for supper. To our surprise we found a complete Smorgasbord festively prepared for us. Greatly refreshed we returned to the Ballroom for another hour of dancing. After singing the Queen, rousing cheers shook the ship for our Bos'n, also to be con- gratulated for her effort as master of ceremonies, and for one to whom we can never show enough appreciation-our Captain.

We have been fortunate again this year in having numerous gifts to add to our collection and the response to our appeal during Book Week was very generous. We thank our benefactors most warmly. The Executive and Committee have worked willingly to ensure the smooth organization of the issue of books. They are always ready to receive and discuss any suggestions concerning improvements that could be made for the benefit of readers. To those students who are considering in what way they could contribute to the library's fur- ther success, the following ideas may be useful. Firstly, the following sections need to be increased -Modern Languages, Poetry, Science and Recreation. Secondly, everyone could unite in keeping the library silent and tidy so that all may enjoy the privilege of reading and studying in the attractive surroundings we are lucky enough to possess. Thirdly, the prompt return of books on or before the Gifts date due would greatly ease the Executives task. R. Urban, Librarian New Books TITLE AUTHOR cp1v13N BY 1.

In 506 B.C., Nike was believed to have led to victory the armies of Demetrius and to her honour this monument, sculptured ingeniously, was erected upon the cliffs of Samothrace, overlooking the Mediterranean. Fate, in the form of plundering Romans soon destroyed Nike, along with numer- ous other Greek works of art. Wheii found and pieced together Nike stood as a winged figure in long, flowing robes facing out as though heading, unconquered, to victory. Through the thoughtfulness and far-sightedness of the late Mr. Harold Aikins, Balmoral Hall now has a replica of this statue to remind us, one and all, of the victory we are seeking. It is our aim at Balmoral Hall, to gain victory in our school work, in sports, over ourselves and thus achieve higher standards. 1 Former winners of the Sir james Aikins Mem- orial Trophy:- 1950-1951-Braemar 1951-195 2-Ballater 1952-1953-Ballater 1953-1954- May the best House win! janet Davis, Grade X. Christmas Boxes Again this year, the week before our Christmas holidays began we brought gifts of food, clothing and toys to Morning prayers. These were later parcelled and made ready for Christmas delivery. These boxes were sent to the Point Douglas Mis- sion, to the Fairford Indian Reserve and also to Canada Save the Children Fund. Grades XI and XII brought specially wrapped gifts to be sent to the thirty girls at Mrs. Bryant's School. Those of us who went to the Mission learned how very happy our gifts had made people on previous Christmases and we heard from the let- ters received how much the boxes were appreciated by the others. .- . L gg 25 Kungsholm Chicago! The very thought of that booming metropolis sends a shiver down anyones spine. The Windy Cityf' the fastest city in America, the centre of the meat packing business, Wabash Avenue, Bonwitt Tellersg Northwestern Univer- sity, Cicero, all these names make Chicago famous the world over. Besides being an interesting and thriving city today, Chicago has one of the most fanciful and fascinating histories of all cities. But, this is only leading up to my story, which is a story because of a gentleman by the name of Leander Hamilton McCormick. Leander McCormick ordered the internationally famous architect, Stanford White, to design for him a residence and he built an imposing home at Rush and Ontario Streets, in a district where the wealthy Chicagoans of that day set a faultless standard of good taste and elegance. The Leander Hamilton McCormick home has stood unchanged by the passing parade of a great city continually on the march. In rooms which once echoed the music of string trios or the golden voices of opera stars, today, stately walls look down upon a scene of the same gracious living for which they were built. For here, in this setting, is a restaurant providing fare for people who prefer to consider eating as a luxury. Because Frederik Chramer believes that good dining is the first requisite of good living, he has established Kungsholm which is worthy of the fine house. The building itself is unique. Each brick, which makes up this house, came from Belgium, separ- The giant-carved oak ately wrapped in straw. doors at the entrance were brought from Italy, as were the heavy iron knockers which are at- tached to them. The rooms which were once familiar to Leander restrained elegance al- transformed very aptly McCormick retain their though they have been into dining rooms, cocktail lounges, private party rooms and so on. Throughout these main floor rooms is a rich carpet of blue and gold Qextremely familiar to Winnipeggersj especially woven into a pattern of three crowns which form the emblem of the house and are taken from the Swedish Coat of Arms. The name, Kungsholm is taken from a castle in the north of Stockholm and means Kings Home, and I assure you the food that is found here is worthy of such a noble name. Naturally in a place so named, the Smorgasbord fof which we also have had some tastej is most conspicuous. It is a triumphant and artistic achievement of all Scandinavian countries. It is not merely a buffet dinner but a presentation of the finest of native fish, meat, cheese, and other fine delicacies. But Fredrik Chramer does not only specialize in serving the finest in foods, he also presents a Miniature Grand Opera Theatre for the pleasure of his friends and guests. Fine opera and good music are Mr. Chramer's hobbies and have been for many years. His operas are performed by electrically manipulated life-like puppets standing thirteen inches in height. From these, he has gained not only extreme pleasure but relaxation from business as well. Consequently in building this miniature opera he has realized a life-long dream. giving personal joy to himself and satis- faction to all his guests. Mr. Chramer has in his repertoire twenty-four operas, including Victor and Columbia master- pieces presenting the very best operatic perform- ers in Madame Butterfly, Faust, Carmen. La Traviata, The Barber of Seville, Mikado and many more favourites. An extensive wardrobe of more than tive hun- dred opera costumes is a necessity, One hundred and forty pieces of scenery including street scenes, gardens, formal drawing rooms, a bull Arena and churches, are used and even more important is the full size opera orchestra. Each of the twenty-five puppet players is in full dress suit playing his instrument-violin, cello, harp, clarinet, flute and French horn. The tiny conductor leads the puppet musicians keeping perfect time with the music from the record. Over the stage are inscribed these words, EI BLOT TIL LYST, NOT ONLY EOR AMUSE- MENT and often now when I think of Chicago, I add to my list of famous places that of Kung- sholm for long it shall be that I remember the superb service and the impeccable entertainment which was offered so humbly in this gracious and stately establishment. Carol Nixon, Grade XI. The Coventry Cathedral Address We were very pleased to have Provost R. Howard of Coventry Cathedral, England, as a guest at Prayers. Provost Howard came to talk to us about the spirit of the British people and their final desire to rebuild. Provost Howard described Coventry Cathedral and then gave us a graphic description of its bombing, which left only the tower of the Cathed- ral standing. He told us of the plans to build a new Cathedral, of the Coventry crosses made of nails from the rafters of the bombed Cathedral. Provost Howard explained the Canadian Friends of Coventry Cathedral scheme, whereby Canadians could also help this new Cathedral. We were en- thralled by his description of the new Cathedral, which is to be a symbol to all the world, of the triumph of Christianity over evil. We are planning to raise the thirty dollars necessary to become a Canadian Friend of Cov- entry Cathedralu and to place our maple leaf on one of the aisles of the new Coventry Cathedral.

She lived with her mother and father in an old broken bottle surrounded by six dandelion guards. Her name was Daffodil , her mothers Daffo- downhilln and her fathers Daffodownwilli'. One day as Daffodil was playing in the garden with her ball made out of dandelion Huff along came twenty goblins. Seeing the princess all alone one of them named Swartz dashed up on his cricket and stole her away. A few hours later the Queen was in a tizzy for she had just discovered her baby missing. Oh what shall I do? she cried. Here, here, the King spoke up, We'll find her soon! The next morning the King set out for goblin land. Following him was his General, Lieutenant. Colonel and finally came the army. However when they reached goblin land word had been sent and they were all ready, The King was furious. Theres a spy, he roared, Theres a spy right here among us. After a search he found a dandelion guard disguised as a small goblin. Well, he roared what have you to say for yourself? Off with his head. This search had given the enemy time to gather reinforcements and they had a pretty big army now. Later in the afternoon the cavalry surrounded the goblin king's palace ready for the attack. ChargeF the cry rang out over the country. The fairy troops bore down on the palace. But! strangely enough the goblins took charge and had just about over-powered the fairies when along came The Dragon Fly Airforce. Seeing this the goblins fled in haste leaving Princess Daffodil be- hind, bound hands and feet in the castle. A handsome young lieutenant rode in on his beetle and brought her to the loving hands of her mother and father. Three months later he was awarded The Fairy Cross of Good Service. He married the princess and they lived happily ever after.

We saw a giraffe and he had a long neck. Even baby giraffes can reach the top of some trees. We saw a monkey with a funny face. It looked like a little old man, We saw a tiger. He looked very fierce.

Under-Water Visiting Have you ever sat on an Ocean Liner bound for some unknown port and watched the waves hit the side of the boat and bounce back only to try again? Well, as I sat there two days out of port, I began thinking of King Neptune and his king- dom and of all the white sea horses and their riders galloping across the broad Atlantic, up wave and down wave, across still waters and rough. Then slowly I began to feel sleepy, but all of a sudden I was shaken out of my sleep by a voice saying Hurry, the horses are impatientlu For a minute I thought I must be dreaming, then open- ing one eye I had the shock of my life! I was looking into the eyes of a man about six and a half inches tall and dressed in a seaweed suit, Wearing a sea shell hat and with his feet in an old pair of cast off crabs' claws. Gathering courage, I answered and said, Par- don me sir, but you must have the wrong person. Wrong person! I say, my child, do you think old Seaweed Wilson would get the wrong person? Nay! Where is your invitation? Invitation ? I started with surprise. I never got an invitation. And what was it for? Wait . Then, feeling one of his many pockets, he pulled out an envelope with my name on it. Here it is, and sorry I am I forgot to give it to you before, he groaned. Opening the card I read as follows: His Highness King Neptune Would like you to visit his kingdom One day after today. You will be looked after. Signed Sammy Starfish fSecretaryj Soon I was galloping across the Atlantic on a sea horse with the little man, only now I was the size of him. A gaping hole appeared under my horse and the man disappeared from sight, My horse dived under the water and I held my nose in fright. What would happen now? But I had nothing to worry about, for it was a built in air passage from the top down. A bright light ap- peared and soon both horses stopped, Two hsh stood to meet us. The little man lifted his hand and said a word that was like Esalobisania and we were let through to a wonder-land of beauty. Fish, mermaids and little people were everywhere. The houses were like many tall, tall weeds all woven together and the streets were made of coral. Then shaking off thoughts of dreamland, I fol- lowed the little man up a flight of stairs to a wide open door where sword fish stood in straight lines and saluted us. At once a big bass came and took us to a door and said in a very fishy voice: His Highness, King Neptune is ready to see his vis- itor, Miss Martin. King Neptune is indescribable and his castle is too, so I will not spend time on that. But, about my visit there- First, King Neptune took me up and down lines of very important people, I mean fish peo- ple and mermaids and then for a surprise we had a trip to the fish zoo. Here we all had a bag of corned coral which is like our pop-corn and was very good. Then we had a rough ride on fiying fish through their 'jungle', and visited wrecks and examined them. I was introduced to some very important fish people. Soon it was time to go, so I was given some sea shells, a plant and some coral in a bag and was shipped off on a fiying fish. OOps! What happened? Now I know I was down under the sea with King Neptune. Oh what a time I have had Y Shirley Martin, Grade VI. The Man While I was walking down the street I met a man with great big feet. His hat was tall, his face was long, He wasn't weak-he wasn't strong. He wasn't big--he wasn't small, I guess he wasn't there at all! Shonagh Smith, Grade IV. Adventure of a Leaf Once upon a time lived a leaf called Rosemary. She lived in a big oak tree. One day a huge wind came up and Rosemary got blown away, and she fell to the ground with a bump. The wind kept right on blowing her and she came down with another bump, The next thing she knew she was in a school playground being kicked all around by the girls and boys. A man came along with a rake. He raked and he raked until all the leaves were in a pile and then he lit a match and put it to the leaves. Lucky Rosemary escaped, She was under a bush. Soon after she went to sleep for the winter as all little leaves do. Nicky McGibbon, Grade IV.

What would we have done without her? If she had not faithfully re- minded us every day to wear rubbers and head scarves, it is certain we would have had pneu- monia. And how many times a day did we tap at her door to ask Where, when, or how? Our thanks also go to Miss Macgregor, Miss jeffrey and Miss McMillan, who remained stead- fast while the Red House rocked with wild shrieks, crashes, fits of laughter and blaring radios. We hope to see you all again next year after a good summer's rest. Is that music we hear? Following the sounds, we climb the stairs and turn to the right. We are greeted by a smiling Signe, who always seems to Pack up her troubles in an old kit bag and smile, smile, smile. A pair of blue eyes and Way up in the Wide blue yonder introduces Gloria, our little stewardess-to-be. An evil giggle is heard and as usual, Strange things are happening when- ever Susan is in the vicinity. In the next room we are met by a pair of Dark Eyes owned by our Niki. Marion rouses herself to sigh I'm in love again. joan, engrossed in some light fiction, clearly indicates that She loves chewin' gum. From the closet we hear, Dub, duh-duh duh. CDragnetj This from Audrey who is no doubt up to something as usual. We cross the hall and Lynne squeals, Have you heard? Sharon from Way down upon the Swanfyj River, politely asks Lynne to be quiet. To describe Sue we will merely say, If you knew Susie like I know Susie . . We trudge up the stairs. A wild cackle of laugh- ter meets us and after a pause we hear a heart- rending version of Show me the way to go home. This will undoubtedly be Kathy. Then there is Amy who Sounds Off when Kathy's laugh gets too much for her. In the next room we get a glimpse of a blue uniform, this is Maureen our Girl Guide dressed in blue. Then there's our jovial Shirley who wishes she didn't have All of me. Glow little bookwormf' . . . Say where is Helen? Oh there she is, reading of course. Take me out to the ball game, is heard. If that can't be arranged she will settle for a game of catch. Who else could this be but Elizabeth? From the bed a voice hums, Beyond the east the sunrise, beyond the west the sea. Brenda our girl with Wanderthirst wants to travel and has taken a sudden interest in France. Who's that combing her hair? Lyn naturally! She exclaims, It's driving me crazy! The identity of the it is unknown. Thus, we get ready for bed. At nine-thirty the lights go out and the Red House is quiet, 'lAll through the night. Lyn Stephen, Head of Red House. White House Zounds ! Boarding school spirit is certainly not lacking among the denizens of the White House this year. Baths every second day were accepted unmurmur- ingly CPD and everyone tried not to show the symptoms of claustrophobia in making room for an immigration of Grade 10's from the Red House. The other side of the spirit of boarding was displayed on April Fools, The whole of the top floor was mystified to find all the beds apple- pied . At all hours of the night ingenious engineer- ing feats were accomplished with rope, string, bells and hair dryers. The results were a demon's delight for so we thought.j Perhaps the best way to identify the individuals of the White House is by the sounds they make. If you have ever been a visitor to the White House you may have wondered just what these sounds were and whence they came. If you hear a taxi driving off, it is Pitsy. If you hear a thundering crash and feel the house shake two floors below, you know that Marie has just bounced Luigi out of her top bunk. If you hear the mad cackle of witches you know that Carol and Idella are cooking something up again. The click of Hashlights in the dark betrays Dodie and Gunny. The trance-creating crackle of a fourteen page letter written in green ink, identifies Green. If you hear the ring of a tele- phone it is for jill. Any Hansonian sound is Judy and at the mention of the word scientific -there's Tweedie. A battle cry is the clue to Carol Cs and june's whereabouts. The painful creak of a developpe comes from Sonja, a giggle a la crescendon comes from Dean. Dawna utters an oh! and makes a mad dash for the bell, A cry of gang-way is heard as Diana drums down the halls in her latest pair of heels. The sound of running water could be none other than Hunty. Dinny rouses the Moon Mansion by the scrape and bang of her drawer. A series of crashes is Sylvia leaping downstairs two steps at a time. And that irritating scratching is from my pen as I write this. At night the silence is broken only by the faith- ful tread of Mr, Williams. White House zounds are stilled, waiting for Miss Hoggarth's handbell and her hopeful five and twenty past seven. P.S. If you are wondering why you haven't heard janet-she is at the Mary-Kaye Simpkinson, Wfhite House Head. 3211... . . - MRS. RILEY AND ONALEE RUIJD Gold Cord Presentation March 22nd, was a proud day for Balmoral Hallls Guide Company, Onalee Rudd, leader of the Thistle Patrol, was presented with her Gold Cord, the first cord to be won in the Sixteenth Company. Guide Cominissioners, Captains, parents of thc Guides and Brownies, and friends assembled in the gymnasium at four-thirty, for the meeting, A visiting colour party of six guides from the St. Margarets Company was in attendance for the oc- casion. At Captain Hutchinson's whistle the com- pany fell in , and the horse-shoe was formed. Three tenderfoots, Bonnie Florence, Carol Bob- rowski and Susan Claydon were presented to the Captain by their patrol leaders, and enrolled as guides. The company, and the new guides, re- peated their Guide promise and law. Mrs. Wilson, Division Commissioner, presented jennifer Steward and Diane Grindley with proli- ciency badges and service stars. Jennifer received her Little House Emblem Onalee was then pre- sented with her cord by the Deputy Provincial Commissioner, Mrs. W. Riley. After the pre- sentation Mrs. Riley spoke to the company and commended Onalee for her excellent work in guiding. After playing some games the meeting ended, and we bade farewell to the important guests who had joined us for this occasion, and once more our gold corder received congratulations. Dawna Duncan, Grade XI. Guides-16th Company Under the able leadership of Mrs. Hutchison, our Captain, and Mrs. Graham, our Lieutenant, the 16th Guide Company has had a very successful year. In September we had eight new Guides, two of which had flown up from Brownies, On Dec- ember 19, four girls were enrolled, and service stars were presented. On March 23, the remaining four girls were enrolled. The most important event of this year was the presentation on March 23 of Onalee Rudd's Gold Cord, by Mrs. Riley, Deputy Commissioner for Manitoba. Winning a Gold Cord takes a great deal of time, work, and knowledge, and is the highest award a Guide can receive. Much progress has been made in First and Second Class work. Two girls have First Class Badges and the following proficiency badges have been earned:- 3 Little House Emblems 2 2 Woodcraft 3 Religion and Life Thrift 3 Pioneer 3 Toymakers 3 World Knowledge 3 Handywomen 1 Artist 2 Friends to Animals 1 Leatherworker 1 Swimmer 1 Life Saver On February 21, some of the Guides from our Company went to the Thinking Day Service at the Auditorium. Thinking Day is on February 22, and commemorates the birthdays of Lady Baden- Powell, and the late Lord Baden-Powell. We had a service, tableaux by the Scouts and Guides on the history of Scouting, and then we heard a message recorded by Lord Baden-Powell when he was eighty. We have had a great deal of fun too! With a hike in October and tally-ho in February, we know that Guiding is not all work. jennifer Steward, Grade IX. Twilight and Twinkle Toes Once upon a time there was born a little elf, whose mother and father named Twinkle Toes. One day in the same year, a little fairy was born and her mother and father named her Twilight, because she was so beautiful. Once when he was wandering in the forest, he met the beautiful fairy and soon fell in love with her. One day when Twilight was walking there a bat caught her wings and carried her off to a far-away castle. When Twinkle Toes found out, he was very angry and flew there to save her because he loved her. Then he went into the castle and had a fight with the bat and Hnally won and saved Twilight. When a few years passed they started having parties and invited all the fairies and elves to them. When Twinkle Toes and Twilight were old enough they married and lived happily ever after.

BALLATER HOUSE The House on the Sloping Hill. Dear Ballater, This is not a good-bye, for I shall be back next year, but rather a thank you'- Thank you, Bal- later, junior and Senior, for a very happy year as your head. Ballater, namesake of the town on the sloping hill, Ba1moral's station, is now four years old, Its history has been short, but bright, and this year our house has again shone in house functions, academic and athletic. Our successes have been possible only through your loyalty and support. To junior Ballater I would say thank you for your cheerfulness and enthusiasm. At the Field Day and Winter Sports, and at the mile of pen- nies , you were always eager and willing. I espe- cially compliment Signe Salzberg, Anne Sellers, and Bliss Trafton for their success in the Lit- erary Competition. Our Intermediate members were our most energetic this year. At games your efforts brought us, not always victory, but cer- tainly much satisfaction. Congratulations, jane Ross, on your junior Track Championship, and Ann Brumell, for your success in the Gymnastic Competition! Our Senior teams, under Gail's and victorious in the in Volleyball, or Diana's leadership, have been senior matches, with no losses Basketball. Geills Kilgour brought honours to us, with her second placing in the Gymnastic Com' petition. Our senior officers, Pat Busby, Pitsy Per- rin, and Diana Duncan deserve much credit for their faithful work all year. Thanks is also due to our staff members, Miss Foster, Mrs. Coulter. Mrs, Coleman, and Mrs. Bancroft. Together, we have won the Field Day Cup, and placed first at the end of the Winter term. I hope that you will always work for Ballater as you have this year, and that you will help to bring in the green. Good luck and love to you allw Sincerely, Dawna Duncan, Head of Ballater. 34g INITIATION Friday, October 30th, dawned fair for us, the old girls-but not for the new. Eight-thirty found straight-haired new girls, well versed in allahs , and armed with shoe polish creeping like snail unwillingly to school. There, even the lower cor- ridor, usually a place of refuge, housed work Qin the shape of large, dirty Oxfords and allah-seek- prefectsj calling for initiates. At bun and milk the real task began. Every mucky-shoed old girl stuck her demanding feet before the kneeling, polishing new girls and learnedly gave instructions as to how the best shine might be obtained. QMany of them had sufficient practice last year to be authorities.j At noon, because all available shoes were blackened, varied, but compulsory, occupa- tions were assigned to the initiates. To one fell the task of library book counting, another stood sentry at the drinking fountain and wiped the drinkers' mouths, some washed boards, others tooth-brushed the walls, one sang nursery rhymes to a menagerie of stuffed toys, another whisked the halls. The 2:05 bell was a welcome sound for once. The promised party began at seven-thirty. The new girls, in prescribed dress, opened the pro- gramme with a grand march. Our Freshie Queen, black-eyed Idella Aitkens, dressed in royal orange, was crowned by the mistress of ceremonies, Carol MacAulay. The Professors Effort , a very noble one, was next, beginning with a representative of the music staff who told us about the poor old lady who swallowed a Hy . And then the new resident Staff, wearing false faces, portrayed a Bal- moral gym. class, and won an encore from the very appreciative audience. Next, the new girls per- formed! A water ballet in wash tubs was at- tempted. A rhumba artist performed, and some Scotties did a highland fling. Romeo and Juliet , while revised and reconditioned, revealed some dra- matic talent on the part of Juliet. Boatmen, board- ers, porridge eaters, and even Miss Muffet took part in the programme and supplied an hour of fun for all. The final phase of initiation took place in the dark when the jay-walking pussy was introduced to the new girls. Games followed and new girls competed with the old in relays and matches. A conga-supper was enjoyed-consisting of a conga-line, busters, soft drinks and dixies. Following supper the pre- fects presented Songs and Costumes of the Twen- tieth Century and while several wearers of the cord rode a double bicycle, charlestoned, or fished by the stream, the audience, led by Mrs. Dennis, our music maker of the evening, joined in the choruses. The highlight from the prefects was a new song for the school. To the tune of Anchors Aweigh soon everyone was singing, It's Meliora Petens evermoreln The surprise of the evening was the premiere showing of the school movie. Hoots and squeals punctuated the pictures as spectators saw them- selves climbing trees, turning somersaults or walk- ing in the stately graduation procession. The happy evening ended with Staff and girls joining in Auld Lang Syne and with new girls feeling at last a sense of belonging. Dawna Duncan, Grade XI. The Christmas Dinner School was over for another term, and it was time again to don our gay party dresses, and join in the merriment of the Christmas Dinner. The guests included all members of the staff, prefects, and the honourable grade twelves. By five-thirty, the hostesses were busily singing carol cocktails in the drawing-room. This pleasant interlude was not to be forgotten, for Mr. Smer- chanski was present with his moving eye , In- deed, it was quite a task to smile and look natural, with bright lights, and a camera focused on you. After a half hour of carol singing, the guests and their hostesses proceeded to the dining-room, where they were greeted by a glorious sight. It was certainly a choice picture-everyone clad in her gayest taffeta, and bearing a holiday smile. The tables too, were very ornate with their colour- ful crackers, red candles, and gum-drop Christ- mas trees. The head table was beautiful with a spray of pine and red and white carnations in the centre, and colourful candles, candies and crackers. Amid the shouts of laughter, clicks from tin crickets, and shrieks from whistles, everyone feasted. The dinner, with its golden turkey and cranberry sauce, crisp celery and stuffed olives, was traditionally Christmas, and at each table the conversation was Santa and holidays. After the ice cream, with favours in hand, the guests with- drew for coffee and cokes. In the library Santa delivered the boarders' packages with a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Our first effort last fall was on Field Day. Al' though we had no champions, you deserve a cup for effort. In the mile of pennies , our contribution to both the Red Cross and the Community Chest was more successful-Braemar was winner twice over. The Fall term in sports was devoted to Volley- ball and we played hard and we played well. After Christmas, Basketball kept us busy and with deter- mination and teamwork, Braemar fought well and won. Congratulations, Jacky and team! We are very proud of you. Between basketball practices, the Ping-Pong table was the centre of attraction. In the -doubles- intermediate, Beryl Hoare and Rosemary Lloyd- Davies were our champions, and in the senior, the credit goes to Jacqueline Hoare and Mary Thorn- ton. Very good, girls! While mentioning our winter sports, I must not omit that we had a very happy and eventful skating Day. Marilyn Stephenson proved to be our Skating star here, and while praising Marilyn for her skating, I must also say how well she and Susan Smith did in the Gym competition this spring. Swimming is our new effort this year and with a magnificent trophy to compete for, everybody is entering the swimming races to be held soon. Also in May is our Gym and Dancing Display and our House-party. Last fall we welcomed to Braemar House Mrs. Miller and Miss Hoggarth, to you I wish all the happiness in our House, To our teachers of long standing, I say thank youl' for your helpfulness and encouragement. To jill Herrick, our Sports Captain, and Dorothy Richardson, our secretary, goes my earnest appreciation for your help. Before I close, I want to say thank you to each and every one of you. Though your contributions be minute or tremendous, each one of you has helped your Home. My admiration for your per- severance, determination and achievements is over- whelming, As your leader and wearer of the Blue and Silver pin, donated by our past House-head, I hope I have done as much for you as you have done for me. Good luck and Good sailing next year, Braemar. Carol Nixon, Head of Braemar House. 36 gg g ,gg ,gg gg gg CRAIG GOWAN IN THE TREE IN TREE-B. Le Beau, A. Palk, S. Smith, L. Funnell, K. Armytage, W.

We have welcomed many new girls and have pulled together to bring hon- our and glory to our House. In high spirits everyone entered all inter-house competitions and, although we were not always win- ners, it was not because of lack of sportsmanship. Field Day found a great many of our girls in the finals. In October we won the mile of pennies for the Red Feather Campaign. November was the month of the Volley-ball series in which we made the semi-finals. In the spring term we luckily managed to make the basketball finals, while many of us entered the ping-pong and badminton tour- naments. The summer term holds other opportun- ities in badminton and soft ball and many of us have been swimming and are looking forward to the swimming meet. An important event this term was the Gymnastic Competition. Congratulations are in order to Mavis Gossling, the senior winner, and Alix Palk the junior winner. We are also proud of all those who made close seconds and thirds in midget, junior, intermediate and senior competitions. Much of our success is due to our Staff members and I wish to take this opportunity to express many thanks to Mrs, Brown, Mrs. Urban, Miss Jeffrey, Mrs. Byrne, and Norma Tweedy, our pre- fect and the photography editor of the school magazine also deserves special thanks. Our ener- getic captains, Suzanne Flood and jennifer Rose, are to be congratulated on their fine efforts, and the house secretary, Martha Travers. Finaly, I want to say thank you to everyone who has helped to contribute, in any way, to our success and to the support and spirit of Craig Gowan. Good luck Craig Gowans! Doreen Nichol, Head of Craig Gowan. A37 GLEN GAIRN HOUSE Another school year, a very eventful one for Glen Gairn, is drawing to a close, and as I write this, though Glen Gairn is not in first place, I would like to thank you for your loyal support to me and to your house throughout the year. In sports, Glen Gairn has done very well. Al- though we did not win the basketball, we did come first in volleyball, and in the skating races, with Nancy Green, Elizabeth Dalgleish, Anita Urquhart and joan Smerchanski our champions. I would like to congratulate Brenda Dougall, in- termediate champion in both Sports Day and the gymnastics competition, Elizabeth Dalgleish and Diana Sheppard, runners up on Sports Day, Dianne McPhail, winner of the intermediate ping pong, and Judy Hanson and Carol MacAulay, runners up in the badminton tournament for their athletic contributions to our house. Our house also donated generously to the miles of pennies, the proceeds from the first going to the Community Chest and from the second going to the Red Cross. Now we are looking forward to a swimming competition and a house party to be held in the next term. In closing, I would like to say a special thank- you to Sue Carnegie, our persuasive sports captain, Betty-Lou McPhail, our secretary, and to our staff members, Mrs. Vaughan, Mrs. Wilson, Miss Wil- lows and Mrs. Elliot f'or their kind assistance. Good luck to everyone, wherever you may be next year. Sylvia Pierce, Head of Glen Gaim. GLEN GAIRN ON THE LAWN FOURTH ROW-B. L. McPhail, C. MacAulay, N. A. Green, E. Landon, B. Alcock, L.

The first event was our Track and Field Day in which all grades participated enthusiastically. Ballater was the top house in this event. Baseball and Tennis were enjoyed by all during the fall term. Our first indoor sport was Volleyball. This year we had a junior and Senior team from each house. Glen Gairn, as a result of their tremendous effort, captured first place. In the Basketball world, the Balmoral team de- feated the old girls by a close score of 28-26. We were defeated by Kelvin and Portage la Prairie, but succeeded in winning an exciting game against Gordon Bell. Braemar proved to be the best house in the Basketball competition by defeating Craig Gowan. One of the highlights of the winter season was the skating competition. Winners were Nancy Ann Green, Elizabeth Dalgleish, and Senior winner was Nancy Ann Green and Intermediate was Elizabeth Dalgleish. The Easter term noon hours were spent in the Ping Pong room competing in a well-organized tournament. The winners of the Senior and Inter- mediate doubles were jacquie Hoare-Mary Thornton and Beryl Hoare-Rosemary Lloyd-Davies respectively. Gail Brooking won the Senior singles and Dianne McPhail the Intermediate. Those girls who were not engaged at Ping Pong were busy in the gym playing in another tournament. This was the Badminton competition, which was won by Mary Thornton and jacquie Hoare. This year has been an exciting one in the sports world which was due to the co-operation of the House Heads, House Sports Captains and the spirit of the girls. I would like to take this oppor- tunity of thanking Miss Macgregor for her untiring effort which has resulted in such a successful year. I would also like to wish every success to next year's Sports Captain who, I hope, will find as much pleasure in her work as I have this year. Gail Brooking, Sports Captain. Old Girls' Match Balmoral Hall's first game of this season was played against the Old Girls on january 29th. At seven-thirty the gymnasium began to fill with spectators and at eight o'clock the game began. Both teams proved to be in good form and the match was a close one. Finally, however, the Present Girls defeated the Old Girls 26-24. When the game was over, soft drinks and doughnuts were served. After the refreshments, Mr. Thorsen conducted a gymnastics class in which mats, spring- box and the new beams were used. This was especially enjoyed by the Old Girls, but all in all, everyone had a good time. Suzanne Flood. The Swimming Meet Balmoral Hall's first Swimming Meet was held May 7, at the Y.W.C.A. A cheering crowd watched members of each house dive and race. During the junior competitions the standings were Braemar, Craig Gowan, Ballater, Glen Gairn. In the senior School, Braemar remained on top, Ballater edged into second place, Craig Gowan placed third and Glen Gairn was fourth. Congratulations, Braemar, that lovely swimming trophy is yours this year! Lyn Stephen, Grade IX. THE BASKET BALL TEAM Dnwnu Duncan, P. Busby, J. Hoare, M. Thornton, M. Edmmxdsz, S.

On Wednesday' morning we were pleased to note that the sky was blue and the sun was shining. At two-twenty guests began to arrive and at two-thirty the races began. The winners of each event were announced and the lower school winners received ribbons for placing first, second or third, and the seniors won House points. After the last race was run there was a special race for those who had not taken part in any race. This was the fantastic House Special and caused even contestants who were more athletic more aches and pains. It is difficult to say who enjoyed the afternoon most, the competitors or the spectators. Top honours went to Ballater House. Suzanne Flood. i L.: csv TRACK and FIELD CHAMPIONS junior-jane Ross IntermediatefBrenda Dougall Senior-Dawna Duncan Gymnastics One of the high spots of our gymnastic year is the Annual School Competition in which many partake. This year Susan Smith was the Midget Champion, Alex Palk the junior, Brenda Dougall and Marilyn Stephenson tied for the Intermediate Cup, and Mavis Gossling captured the senior honours with Geills Kilgour as runner up. The Manitoba Gymnastic Association has set up certain tests on which the Schools throughout Manitoba are now working, These tests, which may seem pointless to many, have been designed to develop Posture, Agility and Rhythm. Posture in itself is very important to any person because with good posture there is dignity and poise. In this way a rather ordinary person can be transformed into one that would stand out in a crowd-this in itself gives a person confidence wherever she goes. Agility is the way in which you control and move your body. Gymnastic exercises help to make you agile in activities, such as ballet, basket- ball, tennis or golf. A sense of rhythm comes with constant stress on the rhythmic free exercises. On such pieces of equipment as the box, horse and beams both ac- curate timing and agility are essential. The aim of gymnastics is not however to make acrobats of the gymnasts, but to develop well co- ordinated bodies. The difhculty of the exercise is not as important as the way in which it is executed. Although we have been working hard on these tests to achieve the emblem which is awarded when a certain goal is reached, we have now turned all our efforts toward our Gymnastic and Dancing display which will take place in the Playhouse Theatre on May 18th.

LOWERYGrade VII Finale. The Gymnastic and Dancing Demonstration May l8th! A day of delight to some and a day of fright to others! Yet. May 18th was a day to be remembered. It was delightful because there was no school that certain Tuesdayg it was fright- ful because of having to perform at the Playhouse Theatre in front of a large audience. Opening with the school singing O Canada, and Carol MacAulay delivering a welcome, the junior gymnastics directed by Miss Macgregor began with grades one to seven performing various dithcult routines, Then Miss Forster took the honours as the junior dancers gave .1 splendid performance in several numbers, including Little Flowers, Sailors' Hornpipe, Tarantella and Minuet. while the seniors displayed their talent in a Nocturne and a colourful Wtiltz. Outstanding in the ballet was a solo by Sonja Nelson. Mr. Thorsen again produced his excellent standard of gymnastics in the senior programme and the finale. Enjoyed by all, this display is acclaimed as another Balmoral Hall victory! Niki Golf and Brenda Dougall, Grade IX. 42 T , l ll si nw Our New Home The brightest and mast cheerful room in our school is the new Home Economics Laboratory. The kitchen is our pride and joy-so modern and streamlined. There are two new stoves to inspire the culinary efforts of eager young cooks There are utility carts beside each stove that serve in many ways. Much activity centres around the sink with its counters on either side. The colour scheme is a delight! The soft green of the walls and cupboards blends with Economics Room the yellow of the ceiling and the two shades of green tile on the floor. Sheer curtains are trim- med with red rick-rack and have a coloured valance of gaily-printed broadcloth in a yellow tulip design. The yellow is repeated in the counter tops around the room and fluorescent lighting adds further brightness. Is it any wonder we look forward to our work in these cheerful surroundings.

She played basketball and baseball and was on the winning House volley ball team. Now we find her at the swimming pool. Will it be Science at University of Manitoba for Luigi- or will it be nursing next year? MURIEL EDMONDS: Muriel, the dark haired quiet member of grade twelve is Balmoral's basketball whiz. From her, baskets come as easily as smiles. She is a ping-pong champ-and tres capable in the swimming pool and on the volley ball floor. Muriel sings in the choir, too. She plans to begin nursing as soon as possible. JOAN GUNSTON: Myrt, our boarder from Flin Flon, arriving for Grade XII, was our class president for the first term. She devotes two or three hours a day to her piano practising-such ambition-and has faith- fully played every morning at Prayers. As a mem- ber of Glen Gairn, Joan took part in tennis and baseball. Her future includes a University Arts Course with more piano study. JUDY HANSON: Judy, our weekly boarder from Tuxedo, has been with us since Grade VI and is working in Grade XII this year.

A Bunk Room boarder, Marie keeps her classmates happy with her droll remarks and Jef- ferish replies. She is a member of the Braemar basketball team, and is president of Grade XII this term. Next year, with her Senior Matriculation, we shall find Marie in training at Kingston. SONJA NELSON: Sonja Nelson and ballet, a little school, a lot of ballet, Ballet at school, ballet at Canadian School of Ballet.

Next year will find her studying ballet abroad. N ORMA TWEEDY: Tweedy is our scientific boarder who visits the Astronomical Society at every opportunity. When not star-gazing or in the laboratory she can be seen taking photographs, for she is director of photography on the Magazine executive. Tweedy is a Prefect this year and supports the soprano section in the school choir. Next year Norma plans more science at the University of Manitoba. Grade XI BEVERLEY ALCOCK: Juliet is a new comer to the school. She writes, sings and plays her own compositions and between her artistic fits has time to play badmin- ton, volleyball, baseball, and to swim. If Bev. doesn't become a second Rogers and Hammerstein, she's certain she'll marry a millionaire, but to begin with she plans to take another year at Bal- moral and give us a chance to see her act. IDELLA AITKENS: Our black-eyed Freshie Queen with the famous foot has spent her first year here away from Boissevain. Although famous for her deep voice she sings soprano in the school choir-saving her alto for telephone conversations. The famous foot can now be seen at all Ballet classes. Next year will find Dedda and the infectious smile back at Balmoral taking Grade XII. BETH ATKIN: I Beth came to Balmoral Hall in Grade IX and has specialized in art and piano. In fact Beth is famous for playing one of her own compositions at a recital. She is also a member of the choir and Ballater's volleyball team. Next year she plans to take a business course, and continue her study in music. GAIL BROOKING: What would we do without Gail at games? Be- sides being our energetic and enthusiastic Sports Captain, she has played volleyball, basketball, swimming, and baseball. She even got her entry points for skating. Not satisfied with games she has taken to dancing, is in the forefront of our Ballet group, is a member of the school choir and sports editor for the magazine. DAWNA DUNCAN: Dawna is an extremely versatile person and has succeeded in whatever she has attempted. Scholas- tically as well as athletically her school record is an enviable one. She is an effective member of the school basketball team and has excelled in track and gymnastics as well. She is Literary Editor of the School magazine and popular head of Ballater House. She is an accomplished pianist, a member of the senior ballet class and one of Mrs. Dennis's cherished altos.' Next year will see Dawna seeking better things at Balmoral Hall in Grade XII.

The Mag- azine Executive has benefitted by her enthusiasm in its drive for ads. Zane is still deciding her future. MAVIS GOSSLING: Goss, equally capable of standing on her head or her toes, is our senior gym champion this year. Mavis, the I don't understand girl has spent her study periods this year with her favourite his- tory teacher. She was one of the lucky Shorties who was on stage with Sadler's Wells and next year hopes to continue her work in ballet. NANCY ANN GREEN: Nanny Boo has been our capable president responsible for the prevalent aroma of javex in the classroom. She is our speed-skating champion, bringing honours to Glen Gairn House for the third successive year, played volleyball and soft- ball and swims for her House. Nancy is a mem- ber of the alto section in the choir and even finds time to excel in ballet. Present plans are for sec- retarial work next year. JILL HERRICK: Jill is one of our more tuneful singers-but her activities are not confined to choir. As Braemars sports captain she participated in basketball, vol- leyball, badminton and swimming and she is a member of the Library executive. jill, a boarder from Oakville, Ontario, is everyones friend,- except around Gray Cup time. MAUREEN HUNT: Maureen's petit live foot one figure has graced the halls of Balmoral for the past three years, She has been an active and cheerful member of the class of '54 and we shall all be sorry to see her leave. She has been an enthusiastic choir member, an active participant in school sports and one of the more talented members of the Special Art class, ancl on the magazine executive this year. Maureen plans to attend Art School and we wish her the best of luck. EIRENE LANDON: Eirene, editor of this year's magazine, is the only existing member of the grade XI Latin class. Out- side her duties as prefect, choir member, volleyball and basketball player, she finds time to read a book a day, and keep up with the latest views on horses and haircuts. Next year Eirene will be found in the library of St. .lohn's. CAROL MACAULAY: ' Carol is our jovial Head Girl and, being friendly and efiicient, is perfectly suited to her role. She takes part in all school activities including choir, ballet, sports and music. To top it off, she decided to spark the life of the boarders and so became a part of the mad conglomeration in the River Room. Next year Carol will attend United College. BEVERLEY MCLEOD: Bev., one of the choir's noted sopranos, can always be found under an infectious giggle. Al- though spending many successful hours at Home- Ec., Bev. is also an active member of the Library Executive.

Next year Beverley plans to continue with her Home-Ec. at the Uni- versity of Manitoba. BETTY-LOU MCPHAIL: At the end of a game, all attention turns to Betty-Lou, our official scorer, She is Chief Lib- rarian, Glen Gairn's House Secretary, and is also our cheerful Grade XI secretary.

In the residence she is our established haircutter, and supplier of good home cooking. Doreen has many talents-academic, domestic and athletic. She will always be remem- bered on the basketball floor playing or officiating in those famous knee pads! Next year Dody plans Science at the University of Manitoba. CAROL NIXON : Nixon-the girl with the 954k persuasive qual- ities, is our very efficient magazine advertising manager. When she is not having an advertising meeting, she finds time to lead Braemar House on to victory, sing a powerful alto in the school choir, dance, and say sweet nothings across the aisle to Gail, her chief Physic's problem. Next year Carol plans to take Science at the University of Manitoba. PITSY PERRIN: Pitsy, our exchange editor on the magazine executive, can be seen with lots of mail this term. She is a member of the volleyball team. Pitsy is also a skater, a swimmer and a dancer. She found a place with the other lucky shorties when Sad- ler's Wells needed help. To top it off Pitsy is a boarder at frequent intervals. DIANA PHIPPS: Dinny, or Phinny, is grade eleven's outstanding horsewoman-but her activities have not been con- fined to Swanny's stable. Last term Dinny was form president and now holds a more dangerous office-that of New Room boarder. She played volleyball, tennis, swam, and was one of the top scorers on the school basketball team. Dinny's future plans are incomplete, but she is a genius in the Home Economics Department . . . maybe needlework? Good luck Dinny! SYLVIA .PIERCE 1 Sylvia is House Head of Glen Gairn. Noted for her twisted ankles, and bruised knees, Sivie nevertheless is an energetic member of the school basketball and volleyball teams. Between her duties on the library executive, and prefect she has fun blowing up the boarding house-and has scars of former exciting years as a boarder. Next year Sylvia will add to the excitement in Grade XII. ANGELA ROSE: Angie is the cause of the internal and external confusion of Grade XI at the end of the last per- iod. We envy her those rides to and from school. Along the line of sports Angela goes in for swim- ming, basketball, and volleyball. Next! year, An- gela -hopes to be at University of Manitoba. MARY-KAYE SIMPKINSON: Carrie-May, besides being head boarder of the White House has a busy life. She is an accomp- lished pianist, a member of the magazine execu- tive, one of the choir's altos and an active partici- pant in school sports. When not dancing at school, M. K. is at the Canadian School of Ballet. Next year Mary-Kaye is returning to Balmoral Hall for Grade XII and still more ballet. MARTHA TRAVERS: Martha is another of these lucky people with a driver's license and the occasional use of the fam- ily car! She is also noted for those noon hour snacks, and her inability to hand in her biology and chemistry practical work. As House Secretary for Craig Gowan, Martha has shown great capa- bi-lity which experience will be a real asset in her future life. Happy days, Martha. ALUMNAE 14 Wiewage 74am 74a Pzeudeal We all realize in our hearts that ous success or failure, our advancement or retrogression depends on our determined or indifferent efforts. Some people will say mistakes were made and decry even the present state of the Balmoral Hall Alumnae. If mistakes were not made, it would be unusual. We cannot all reach the pinnacle of fame and fortune, but we are sure that every good deed per- formed by each individual helps to make this Alumnae of ours, just a bit stronger, conversely, incomplete tasks retard its progress. The three main factors which contributed to the personal advancement of Balmoral Hall Alumnae were the former Alumnae of Havergal, Rupertsland and Riverbend, and we can venture to say it was a good foundation. Wfe are most fortunate in having something worth'while to strive for, that is promoting the values of a private school such as Balmoral Hall. In the fall we hope that the graduates of nineteen hundred and fifty-four will become members of our Association. The success of any club is dependent upon the enthusiasm and participation of its members. Certain positions in an organization require certain qualifications, but no matter what the job of any member may be, her efforts are reflected in the impressions the Alumnae makes on the school, and in turn, the imprint the school makes on the public. The success of our Alumnae is the cumulative effect of the efforts of all. The greater the number, the stronger the organization. It is faith in something, enthusiasm for something that makes life worth living. Marjory-Lynn Mclntyre President. ALUMNAE NOTES Hello, Present and Old Girls of Balmoral Hall!

GAIL BROOKING Each year, Eaton's selects a crew of enthusiastic, alert Councillors and Executives to represent you and your fellow pupils in the schools and colleges of Greater Winnipeg . . . academic, vocational and technical. We meet with these bright young lads and lassies every Saturday morning. They bring us news of what goes on in school, tell us your ideas, fads and fancies. We in turn plan interesting events for them. They go on informative educational tours, hear lectures on all phases of merchandising and what goes on behind the scenes of a great department store. They gain selling experiences by working with the salesclerks behind the counters . . , selling everything from scissors to sportswear. Every year we stage a big fashion show to bring the hi-crowd up-to-date on what's new and fashionable to wear. And, our band box entertains you at school dances and social get-togethers. Through our Junior Council and Junior Executive we get to know more about you-so we can serve you better through Eaton's The Store for Young Canada! s s 1lr'k'A' By Telegraph Buy with the ' By special Delivery T' A f For Every Occasion 4 Ssurcmce O our I H 4 49 years Service Flowers That Last K to Monitobons.

FRASER LIMITED BLUE PRINTING PHoTosTArs 320 Donald Street Winnipeg What You Should Know Abaut 0 0 0 The white sugar ot the household is a carbohydrate, an organic compound, containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and in chemistry is called sucrose lCl2Jl'l1J2Ol1J. Sucrose occurs in many plants, the most important of which are the sugar cane in the tropics and the sugar beet in temperate climates. From either cane or beet, sugar can be manufactured in various forms ranging from the finest crystals to tablets and cubes, and regardless of source is the some chemical compound with equal sweetening properties, Notwithstanding these facts, for years the story has been circulated that the quality ot beet sugar is interior to cane sugar or that cane sugar is sweeter than beet sugar. This story is entirely lacking in fact, since, as said before, white sugar from either beet or cane, is the same chemical compound. There are also rumors to the effect that beet sugar causes spoilage in preserved foods. Spoilage is caused by bacteria and has nothing to do with either beet or cane sugar, Any canned food, whether unsweetened or sweetened with any sugar, will spoil it proper sterilization methods are not used. lt may also be mentioned that since the time at Napoleon, cane sugar has been prac- tically unknown on the European continent where only beet sugar is used for all purposes without any disadvantage as to quality, sweetness or anything else.
