8 SAMARA Conbolences The girls join with the mistresses in expressing their deepest sympathy with Mademoiselle Juge, who lost her mother. They join with the Old Girls in offering their sincerest sympathy to Ailsa and Margaret Gerard, and to Julia (MacBrien) Murphy, Louise and Lynette MacBrien, in the loss of their father, and to Betty and Winsome Hooper whose mother passed away last September. We wish to express our sorrow at the loss of little Ann Weir, daughter of the Hon. Kenneth and Mrs. Weir (nee Lucy Crowdy) who died during the winter in her seventh year. Ann spent a week with us last year, and was a source of great joy to all in the school. I on, JMartm JSurrell This year, Elmwood has lost one of its oldest and dearest friends, in the Hon. Martin Burrell. Mr. Burrell always had a great affection for the school, and very frequently visited us, never missing a Christmas Party, or failing to see the Winnipeg girls off at the station. We realize that we have been especially privileged to have as our friend one of the great statesmen and thinkers of Canada, and we miss him exceedingly. We want once more to extend to Mrs. Burrell our very deepest sympathy.

SAMARA 7 Cbitorial HS this magazine goes to print, we are nearing the end of another very successful and enjoyable year at Elmwood; we hope we have Hved up to her highest ideals, embodied in our House Mottoes, Service, Fellowship, and Fair Play . We shall have many happy memories of this year to recall, and it is with much regret that we say goodbye to those friends who are leaving us in June. We should like to thank the members of the Magazine Committee for their generous work and the support they have given, and also our many faithful friends who have so kindly advertised in this magazine. We appreciate the interest they have shown in us for so many years. As the school has taken a great interest in the School Library this year, we have added Library Notes to this Samara. We should also like to say that for the first time we have some Book Reviews; we hope that these innovations will meet with approval. We are very sorry to hear that Miss Martin will not be back at Elmwood next year. Under her guidance, Samara has maintained its best standards, and we should like to thank her warmly for her unfailing help and keen interest. Miss Martin will be greatly missed — particularly by the Magazine Committee. We wish her much happiness and success at Strathallan and we shall look forward with added interest to the arrival of next year ' s Pibroch! We were very pleased to welcome the new members of the Staff this year, Miss Butler, Miss Estrup, Miss Orbell, and Miss McLean. We hope that they have enjoyed their first year at Elmwood. We are sorry that Miss Estrup ' s stay with us should be so short, and offer Miss Rosier and Miss Powell, who are leaving in June to be married, our best wishes for their future happiness. We cannot too warmly express our gratitude to Mr. Rowley Hooper for the great kindness he always shows us in helping Samara to appear. Without his unstinting help, we should be at a terrible loss. We are particularly grateful for his patience when we send copy to press at the last possible moment! We always expect him to say at least, Well, really now But he never does. The making of the Christmas House Collections is always a source of great interest to the Houses, and we like to think that our work brings to those less fortunate than ourselves some measure of comfort and good-fellowship each Christmas. This year, the collections reached their usual excellent standard, and the judging was exceedingly difficult. Keller was declared the winner. We should like to thank Mrs. Edward Fauquier for her great kindness in acting as judge for so many years. At the moment, everybody ' s attention is absorbed in final preparation for the exams. We hope that the results will be as satisfactory as last year ' s, which will be found on another page.
