SAMARA 9 share a little in her newly added glory, since, in addition to being a very kind friend and benefactress to the school, she is the mother of seven Elmwoodians, past and present. During the Easter holidays, Elmwood was visited by members of the Association of Headmistresses in Canada, who were holding a conference in the city. Once again may we record our appreciation of the kindness of Dr. A. G. Doughty whose latest gift to us, and especially to Keller House, is a beautiful painting by Sherriff Scott, of Elmwood in early autumn, including the school buildings and Mrs. Buck ' s residence. It will be hung in a place of honour among our treasures. We should like to thank several people for their kindness in presenting us with new trophies for annual award. These include a prize for improvement in dramatic work, presented by Lady Perley, a cup for Inter-House competition in Badminton, presented by Harriett Mathias, and Anne Coghlin ; and a drill cup presented by Miss Green for competition between the various classes. With regard to school work, our sphere is being enlarged. This year for the first time it has been possible for girls in the Arts forms to take a course in cookery: and Oakhill Lodge, the new Staff residence, has been the scene of much culinary activity. More- over, one of the studyrooms in the school building has been equipped with science apparatus, and we already have a small but ardent band of scientists in frequent attendance there. In future, Physics and Chemistry will figure as possible Matriculation subjects for those scientifically inclined. Last year Honour Matriculation results showed one outstand- ing record, that of Elaine McFarlane, who achieved a 1st class in every subject taken! Detailed results are as follows: — UPPER SCHOOL MATRICULATION 1933. Cynthia Copping: English Literature, 2nd.

This year the School Library has been in the capable hands of Mary Malloch, Janet Hutchison and Peggy Waldie; we thank them for their good work. It is encouraging to see the reference library in constant use. A number of interesting books on various subjects has been added during the year, including donations from several kind friends, notably a handsome set of Makers of Canada given by Cairine Wilson; a set of beautifully bound novels by Sir Walter Scott, presented by Dr. Doughty; three books on birds given by the Hon. Cairine Wilson: and books for the fiction library from Barbara Ross. To help forward our geography, Colonel Willis O ' Connor presented us with a widely comprehensive wall-map of Canada. At Christmas the contributions to the House-collections were most practical in character, and took the form, not only of clothes old and new, but also foodstuffs, fuel, and milk and bread tickets. We had previously collected our old and damaged toys for the Boy Scouts ' Hospital. The sum raised for the Federated Charities amounted to $150.00, and more than $30.00 was collected for the Poppy Day Campaign. The usual Christmas hamper from Elmwood found its way to five destitute homes; and a portly turkey graced a sixth table, bought with contributions in money to Keller House Collection. Perhaps we should now be thinking of collecting old summer clothing for those less fortunate than ourselves ? It has been suggested recently, by some Old Girls, as a good plan.
