The prize-winners of 1930-1931 presented to the school an antique cabinet, to hold the sports cups. It is magnificently carved, and gives added dignity to the many trophies kept on its shelves. Through the kindness of the Hon. Cairine Wilson we were able to procure this beautiful cabinet. The names of last year ' s prize-winners are as follows: Cairine Wilson, Betty Sifton, E. Cantlie, M. Seely, D. Clark, J. Watson, C. Bate, J. Dunlop, N. Hall, N. Keefer, P. Crerar, N. Haultain, J. Hill, M. Malloch, B. Hooper, G. Bronson, J. Eraser, C. Irwin, M. Leathem, P. Gait, K. Inkster, M. M. Blair, W. Hooper, M. McKinnon, G. McDougald., B. Ross, A. Bethune. In future there will be no collective prize: in its place two medals, one for proficiency and one for general improvement, will be awarded tp individual girls. The prize-winners of the past have done much to beautify Elmwood by these corporate gifts to the school: we appreciate deeply their unselfish attitude in thus helping to build up our tradition of service: they have as their reward the grateful remembrance of the school they served. ' ' Their memorial liveth.

14 SAMARA REMEMBRANCE DAY At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them. ON Remembrance Day we had our bchool service in the Assembly Hall at 9.30 a.m., so that those who wished could also attend the Service of Remembrance which was held at 11 o ' clock on Parliament Hill. Our Elmwood service, which was conducted by Mrs. Buck, emphasized the spirit of solemn recollection and gratitude: we resolved that we would strive to show ourselves worthy of the great sacrifices of the war, and to do our utmost in furthering those ideals of international comradeship, and mutual trust, with- out which there can be no lasting peace in the world. Since these died before their task was finished it is for us to Attempt new heights, bring ever their dreams to birth. Build us that better world, O, not diminished By one true splen dour that they planned on earth. And that ' s not done by sword, or tongue, or pen. There ' s but one way. God make us better men.
