SAMARA 31 MISS ELLIOTT— AN APPRECIATION We feel that we must take the opportunity which the Maga- zine affords us of expressing in a few words our appreciation of Miss Elliott ' s work among us during the last two years. We were very sorry that she had to return to England shortly after Christ- mas, owing to ill health, and we are delighted to be able to tell all her many friends who may read this article that she is now very much better and indeed well on the road to a complete recovery. Miss Elliott undertook her work with vigour, and inspired us with some of her own boundless enthusiasm. She taught us Danish games and dancing. Her drill classes were strenuous and invigorating and our hours in the gym with her were among the happiest in the week. She taught us much apparatus work and difficult exercises which required the application of mind as well as body. Towards the end of the year a special gym class was formed for those who were especially adapted to that form of exercise. Miss Elliott coached the basket-ball team so efficiently that in almost all our outside matches Elmwood was successful. During matches mentions were given to girls who played exceptionally well, the object in view being to win badges for their blazers. Longball, a Danish game, was played almost every afternoon in fall and spring. Its chief merit is that any number of giils can play at one time. But the moet interesting game Miss Elliott introduced was Laciosse. I think we all felt rather excited and important when we first carried our Lacrosse sticks down to the field. There, at almost every free moment, we practised catching and throwing the ball, until we were able to try our tests. However, as the beginners stage is very long, few of us passed more than the first and second. We were able to play only about a dozen real matches. Our sports day at the end of the year was a very successful one. Miss Elliott spent much time and energy on it and I think she was rewarded in some measure for her pains. Everyone greatly enjoyed the races and contests, participants as well as onlookers. But the most important lessons Miss Elliott taught us were team work, sportsmanship and fair play — to play the game in the true sense of the term. — The Editor.
