16 D.M. C. I. BREEZES Farewell Party On November 8th, the girls of Room 15, with Miss Anderson’s kind help and permission, held a farewell party for Marion Phillips, one of the members of the room who left for Toronto on November 9th. The Class President, Norali Archibald, and the Vice j President, Irene Marshall, arranged the programme, which began with a song by Louise Warren, the contralto prima donna of the room, and followed by a dance by Thora Olson. The girls joined in songs very softly so as not to disturb the other classes who were studying. Then to the delight of all, some candy, made by the members of the room, was passed around. The girls ate the candy very heartily, enjoy¬ ing their freedom to do so in school. After this delightful part of the programme, the Class President presented a small gift to Marion Phillips as a token of remembrance. Marion showed much appreciation and thanked the girls. Next a game was played, and the winner, Henryetta Thompson, was presented with a small doll in a very large box, with which she attracted the attention of the teachers, who made a good attempt to teach t ' he class in later periods. In the periods which followed some of the teachers allowed the class to keep on with their party and because of the obliging way in which they treated the matter they were given some of the candy— which they accepted. The girls enjoyed themselves immensely and hoped that Marion had also. The bell gave the signal that studies were over for an hour and a half, but to the girls it was the ending of a very successful party and a farewell from old friends. —Thora Olson. ROOM 18 r J ' HE girls of Room 18 planned a corn roast for Saturday evening, September the twenty-fourth. Although, the weather was un¬ promising, they set out, accompanied by Miss Anderson, who was the guest of the evening. However, as it was too wet for comfort, the Templeton twins kindly invited them to their home. After playing games and singing songs, the girls gathered around the fireplace to eat their corn. Altogether, in spite of, or perhaps because of, the change in programme, it was a very pleasant evening. —S. B. W. ROOM 19, XG. ‘ ‘ Go-Getters ’ ’ ALTHOUGH we are in the same room as last year, that does not mean that we are not going ahead. Doesn’t the sun visit our room most? When we were Primaries we had two of our classmates represent us in the Primary Council. This year we are represented on the Junior Coun¬ cil by Elizabeth Ballantyne and Jack Easterbrook.

ROOM 47 THIS class, as yet, has held no parties this term—much to the dissatis¬ faction of some of themembers—so our social notes are missing. Room 47 can boast of some very talented pupils, and we intend to do our best to make this paper a success. The contributions of the class to the various departments of this number form our first instalment. Class officers: President, Patricia Paget; Vice-President, Ronald Turnbull; Secretary, Beth Carpenter; Sports Captains, Martha Setter, and Donald MacGregor. Brilliant Lights of Room 47 Have you ever noticed Alec’s marcel? Much French hair-dressing has done it well; Young ladies cast their eyes in that direction, But ne’er will their curls attain that perfection. Full many a roar lias our Martha provoked From her fellow-dumbells of Room 47; Full many a thought has our fond teacher evoked, At this rate we won’t all go to heaven.
