SAMARA 11 Conbolences! In the passing of the Hon. Thomas Ahearn, Elmwood lost a great and valued friend. A founder and governor of the School, he had watched its progress from its early days and Elmwood owes him a debt of gratitude for generous financial assistance and an interest which never waned. We should like to take this opportunity of again expressing our sympathy to Mrs. Harry Southam. We were deeply grieved at the passing of Betty Hogg Cameron, whom we remember with much affection as a pupil of Elmwood. All the girls join in expressing their heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. Buck in the loss of her father. It was with great regret that we heard of the passing of Mrs. Peck, the sister of Mrs. Edward Fauguier, who has our deepest sympathy in her loss. We would like, too, to offer our sincerest sympathy to Patricia Spendlove and Marjorie MacKinnon and Nancy Haultain, who have had great bereavements in their families during the year, and to Dr. Tory, a very good friend of the School, in the recent passing of Mrs. Tory.

10 SAMARA THE ROYAL VISIT—Anticipation Whe?i they set out for Canada, Three thousand miles away, The croivd was cheering heartily. For King and Queen were silently Setting out for Canada, Three thousand miles away. The tabids were playing merrily The anthems of the Crown, While Canada was listening. Her countrymen all singing; While the bands were playing merrily The anthems of the Crown.
