SAMARA SCHOOL NOTES T THE BEGINNING of this term, the School, with the exception of the Primaries and the I and II Form, was divided into three Houses, Fry, Keller, and Nightingale. The three prefects are heads of the Houses. Stars are awarded for work and conduct, and for games. There is great rivalry between the Houses to acquire stars on the House Boards. The three Scrolls have been hung in the lobby. The names of the members of each House are recorded on the boards together with the Stars that have been won . The designs at the head of each scroll, described elsewhere, were the work of S. Smellie, M. Rosamond, M. Riordon, V. Gilmour, P. Fosbery, Elizabeth Kenny, M. Dunlop, J. Wilson and J. Ahearn. The Houses want to thank Miss Hancox and Miss Indge very much for the beautiful lettering and printing they so very kindly did for us on the scrolls. Their work adds very much to the whole design. On Thursday, February 3rd, Dr. Bryce gave us a most inter- esting and entertaining lecture on ' ' The Capture of Canada by the British. He pointed out the part played by the Mohawk Indians and Sir William Johnson, and showed that their part in the campaigns was equal to Wolfe ' s. We all hope that Dr. Bryce will come again and give us such another delightful history lesson. Mr. Wilson Macdonald, one of our leading Canadian poets, on December 8th came and gave us a most delightful lecture on

6 SAMARA Modern Canadian Poets . He mentioned briefly the most im- portant of them, and then gave us a reading of some of his own charming poems. We all enjoyed the talk, and hope very much to have the pleasure of hearing him again. We are very sensible of the honour conferred on us by his visit. Major McKeand, on November 10th, very kindly came and gave us a short talk on the significance of Armistice Day and che sale of Poppies. We hope Major McKeand will make a habit of coming to us on such occasions. A very interesting event took place on September 23rd in which the three RockcUffe Schools — Elmwood, the Rockcliff e Public School and Ashbury — took part. It was the occasion of the presentation of the Freedom of Rockcliffe Park to their Excellenc- ies, Lord and Lady Byng of Vimy. After the ceremony the schools were presented to their Excellencies. There have been several debates during the term. The subjects of the Seniors have been: That Art has been of more benefit to Mankind than Science. Science won. The subject of the second debate was , That the World Owes More to its Famous Men than to the Faithful Labour of Forgotten Generations. This debate ended in a draw. The third was That the Miser Does More Harm in the World than the Spendthrift. The side supporting the affirmative won. We have been delighted to hear of the prize Dr. Wodehouse is giving for the girl making the most progress during the year in debating and oral composition. si ♦ The annual school party was as usual a great success. It was held just before Christmas. The junior party was from four till six, and the senior party from five till nine. While the parties overlapped, the senior day girls gave a short entertainment. It consisted of a chorus, a pantomime and a short play entitled
