Notre vie a la ' ' Maison Frangaise est tres heureuse. Quelque fois nous trouvons que c ' est un pen difficile de parler frangais et notre francais est continuellement une repetition des memes phrases mais nous nous faisons comprendre et c ' est I ' essentiel. Quelques-unes d ' entre nous peuvent vraiment soutenir une conversation, mais les autres, moins courageuses, se contentent de phrases courtes et faciles. Nous avons eu de la chance cette annee, car nous avons eu plusieurs anniversaires dans la maison, et chaque anniversaire est I ' occasion d ' une petite fete. Ces petites fetes sont un charmant melange de bonnes choses a mauger et de danses. Qui n ' est pas contente quand quelqu ' une de nous annonce, ' ' C ' est bientot mon anniversaire! Au commencement de 1 ' annee scolaire les deux maisons se sont rencontres dans un jeu trps anime de basket-ball. Apres une demi- heure de combat acharne, la ' ' Maison Frangaise sortit victorieuse de la lutte. Nous nous sommes reucontrees encore une fois dans un ardent combat la nuit du Rumpus. Les Anglaises vinrent mettre nos chambres en desordre, mais sans perdre une minute nous leur rendimes la pareille. Une lutte tres vive s ' ensuivit. Qui gagna? Personne ne I ' a jamais su; mais ce que je puis vous affirmer, c ' est qu ' un egal chaos regnait dans les chambres des deiux maisons. Laissez-moi vous dire avant de terminer que cette annee a ete tres heureuse, et que les jeunes filles, qui vont quitter en juin notre chere Maison Frangaise, le font avec le plus grand regret car, comme le dit notre cri de ralliement — Rataplan ! Rataplan ! Cric ! crac ! zut ! Notre ecole ! Branksome Hall ! Est au-dessus de toutes ! MARGARET CAMPBELL, Form V.
