SAMARA 9 vital charity. We appreciate very much the fact that this busy lady can spare time from her numberless activities to visit us like this. Through the kindness of Hon. Martin Burrell several parties of girls have visited the Parliament Buildings during the year, and have thus penetrated those august precincts, the halls of federal legislation. Before Christmas, on the occasion of Mrs. Buck ' s At Home for school parents, an imposing Arts and Crafts Exhibition was on view in the Assembly Hall, the work of the various Art classes under Miss Ash. It was obvious to all that there is artistic talent of a high order among certain girls, and we congratulate Miss Ash and the art classes on a really fine exhibition. Interest in art has been encouraged during the year by periodical art com- petitions, on given subjects, by which entrants could win stars for their house. The results are most gratif ying as regards the quality and quantity of work offered. In addition there have been visits to the National Gallery more than once during the year. At Christmas the array of garments for the poor was larger than ever and we know that they all found an eager welcome in some destitute home. We were glad to forfeit once more the usual magnificent repast at the Christmas party; and five poor families thus benefited by having a Christmas dinner bought with the surplus money. We enjoyed our own less elaborate meal all the more, in the thought that our good cheer would reach some poor home otherwise starving. In school work Matriculation results last year showed some outstanding records, notably those of Betty Si f ton and Betty Gordon, who both achieved a 1st class in every subject taken! Detailed results are as follows: — UPPER SCHOOL MATRICULATION, 1932 C. Copping: English Composition, 1st. S. Doughty: English Composition, 3rd. B.

We much appreciate their interest in thus adding to the number of available awards, apart from those given directly for school work. We sincerely thank those kind people who have presented us with books for the library. Among them is an array of vol- umes of Cassell ' s National Library, 68 in all, from Colonel and Mrs. Willis O ' Connor; and a History of English Literature, from Diana Clark. Other books of biography and wide general in- terest have been added at intervals. The total number of books now in the library is over 1,000, and it is most encouraging to note how much more frequently they have been in use for refer- ence during the past year. Theodosia Bond and Hazel Ross have proved most efficient and vigilant librarians, and we thank them for their good work. We should also like to thank Mrs. Frank Ross of Quebec for having given us a most generous donation of $100.00 towards providing the movie projector of which we are now the proud possessors.
