YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 17 by lA with IV Arts and IIIA coming second and third. In early December, we collected old toys which were sent to Trinity Church to be mended and painted for the children of the downtown area for Christmas. Following the Christmas holidays, we collected old Christmas cards and after a great deal of work, we sent these along with some balloons and small woollen dolls to Ramabai for the little girls and boys to play with. In February, a collection of toys, still in good condition was made in the Junior School. This collection was on request by Joan Dixon for the Cathy Cart at the Princess Margaret Hospital. When patients come in for treatments and have their children with them, the children sometimes must wait for hours before their parents return and the purpose of the cart is to give the children something to occupy themselves with while they are waiting. They are allowed to take the toys home and therefore the cart must be replenished every so often. In late February, a Bake Sale, sponsored by the Opheleo Society with food provided by the school, was held, the proceeds of which went towards MISS MacNEILL, MISS READ AND THE PREFECTS Back Row: C.

YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 19 THE UNITED NATIONS CLUB REPORT The United Nations Club is organized to give members an outlet for expressing their ideas and an opportunity to be of service to United Nations projects. We feel that this year our members have assumed that responsibility of carrying out the club activities with great enthusiasm. Concrete support was given to the work of U.N.I.C.E.F. by the selling of greeting and note cards. The greatly appreciated sum of $230, collected by the club, was sent to the National Office of the United Nations Asso- ciation for the benefit of U.N.I.C.E.F. It should be noted that this was the largest contribution of all the Ontario Schools. The club also sold tickets to the film ' ' On the Beach and thereby contributed $45 to the World Refugee Organization. Pen pals have also added colour to our meetings. We are planning in the near future to form a debating team and the club welcomes any new girls interested in helping us. Many thanks to our staff advisor, Mrs. Coulter, who has been a strong backbone to our club. President: Barbara Clark. Vice-President: Jane Omand. Sec. -Treasurer: Patricia Wilson.
