6 SAMARA FRY HOUSE NOTES TH LTHOUGH we did not win the House XJ. Shield last year, we have high hopes of doing so this year. We followed the Fry tradition by having the entire house In the play and also by winning it! We presented the play, ' Rose Latulippe by Edward Devlin at the School Bazaar. Everyone worked hard and deserved suc- cess. We would again like to thank Mrs. W. F. Devlin for so kindly lending us the costumes used in the original production. This year the House Collections were held in the hall and this proved a most satis- factory arrangement. The guality and quantity of the gifts of both seniors and juniors were very good. Mary Blackburn received commendation for the best contribution of hand made articles in the school. We would like to congratulate the fol- lowing prize-winners of last year: — a vr ! Summa Summarum Susan Kenny | Dramatic Medal Aline Dubois Dramatic Prize Josephine Frazier Photography Prize Margot Peters Improvement Medal Pj,y f Basketball Cup Badminton Cup [ Josephine Frazier, Dorothy Posture girdles . | Kennedy, Margot Peters, [ Mary Osier In spite of the tireless efforts of our Sports Captain and Vice-Captain, we lost the Senior Basketball cup. The Junior Basketball tied in the Fall and will be played over again this Spring. The Badminton tournament is being played at the present time, and the tennis season has not yet started.

We hope that both new and old girls have tried to live up to our House Motto of ' Societas Humanas, Friendship to All, and to the School Motto Summa Sum- marum, Highest of the High.

SAMARA 5 Controlencesi Our Sincere Sympathy Goes: — To Lilias (Ahearn) Buskirk, on the death of her husband, Flying Officer Douglas Van Buskirk. To Mary (Baker) Wainwright, on the loss of her husband, Pilot Officer Alan Wainwright, killed in an air accident. To Barbara (Hampson) Alexander, whose husband Flying Officer J. Alexander, R.A.F. is reported missing. To Avril Crabtree, whose brother, Lieut. Colin Crabtree, is presumed lost at sea. To Betty Snell, whose brother, Pilot Officer Arthur Snell, has been missing since last October, after flying a bomber over the North Sea. To Nancy Doane, on the recent death of her mother, Mrs. G. J. Doane. We extend our deep sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Allan Keefer on the death of their only son, Lieut. Charles A. Keefer, an old boy of the days when Elmwood was known as ' The Pre- paratory School. Serving overseas in a warship of the Royal Navy, Lieut. Keefer was drowned when he dived over the side of his ship during operations in a high sea, to save the life of a Norwegian woman. He was posthumously awarded the Albert medal. We are very proud to feel that such an act of heroism was performed by one who was once a pupil here.
