WE were delighted when we heard last summer that Her Royal Highness, Princess Alice, had consented to distribute the awards at our annual closing. We greatly appreciated Princess Alice ' s inspiring Jwords to us and much enjoyed her sense of humour. The fact that the usual term for such occasions is closing exercises had led Her Royal Highness to fear that some physical form of exercise might be in store for her and provided a delightful and orig inal preface to the more serious remarks that were to fol- low. Not that we enjoyed these less. Many of us will, I am sure, remember her stirring words; It is up to you young girls of Elm- wood school to uphold the standard and hand it like a flaming torch to those who come after you. Her Royal Highness urged us to take a real interest in history and advised us to study not only Canada, but to remember that with the exception of the Indians, the people of Canada had their roots in countries which have a much longer history than our own dominion. Following her address and the distribution of prizes. Princess Alice had tea with Mrs. Buck and the governors in the library. Her Royal Highness then visited different parts of the school. We were sorry that she was not able to see the school when it was in session! We should have liked her to see how attractive our bed- rooms look when not suffering from last minute packing and a general exodus. We are much honoured in being permitted to reproduce the very charming portrait of her Royal Highness which appears on the opposite page and we should like to express our warm thanks for the pleasure which she has given to all of us at Elmwood by this gracious act. J. W.
