It was thought that this would not only assure the future of the School, but would create among the Alumnae and ])resent girls, an added interest, which w ntld be helpful to the School and to themselves. We had hoped with the money invested to build a gymnasium, which has alw ays been so much needed in our School, but unfor- tunately there was not a sufficient number of girls subscribing to enable us to do this. However, we were delighted that enough new capital was subscribed to make it possible for us to 1)uy the pro- perty adjoining the School on the north. This we decided to use as a special residence for matriculation students, and, in memory of Miss Scott, the founder of the School, we have called it Scott House. It has proved to be a most satisfactory building, and we are sure every girl in residence at Scott House this year would testify to its usefulness as a separate residence. We should like especially to thank the following girls of the Alumnae, and of the present pupils, whose interest and financial sup- port made Scott House possible : — Mary Ponton Armitage, ' 15. Annabel Auld, ' 09. xAudrey Banks. Griswoldene Comstock, ' 18. Margaret Despard. Daisy Robertson Gall, ' 11. Grace Ponton Hargraft, ' 15. Phyllis Hollinrake, ' 20. Mary Johnston. Irlma Kennedy, ' 13. Joyce Livingston. The subscription lists for that at any time any pupil Marjory MacGillivray, ' 19. Margaret McQueen. Adelaide McCulloch. Marion McCulloch. Dorothy Rason, ' 21. Jean Robertson. Margaret Robertson. Mary Robertson. Kathleen Romans, ' 21. Eleanor Ross, shareholders are being kept open, so past or present, may become one. Particulars regarding this matter may be obtained at the Office. EDITH M. READ.
