Ann Edwards: have often regretted my speech, never my silence. Ann is the youngest House Senior, and the only one in VI (M. She is a great favourite of everyone and the enthusiasm which she shows toward her school work as well as her sport- ing activities make her a great asset to Fry. Ed ' s pet aversion are advertising difficulties, in spite of which she has done a marvellous job as head of the magazine advertising committee. She is an ardent Scotch patriot as shown in the name of her beloved horse, iMacDuff . Ann has a one-track mind when it comes to discussing summer cottages, and her main ambition in life is to win the saihng races at Portland-on-the-Rideau. As well as riding and sailing, Ann enjoys swimming, tennis, music, and art, along with an occasional mixing in the lab. Ed ' s fututrc plans aren ' t settled at the moment, but we all hope she will return to Elniwood. Whatever she does is sure to turn out well (as always) so we have no worries as to her success in the future. AIONITORS 1947-1948 M. Bate J. iMarble A. MacDonald J. Nesbitt M. Code P. Fulford H.

SAMARA 27 FOR THE past two years we have had Miss Philbrick on the resident staff, as our gym and games mistress. We would like to take this opportunity to thank her for the enthusiasm and great interest which she has shown in all our sporting activities. Our tech- nique and spirit of Fair Play , which is strongly emphasized, have advanced consider- ably under her leadership. Sports Day 1 On Friday, June 6th, 1947, Sports Day was held. It was fortunately a day just suited for such an event, being not too hot, and it proved a great success in every way. There were con- siderably more visitors than had attended dur- ing the past few years. Moreover the pro- gramme contained a large number of interest- ing individual events which added to the enthusiasm. Nightingale captured the Inter-house Sports ' Day Cup, winning over Fry by 10 points and over Keller by 16. The other victories were as follows: — Inter-house Relay— Nightingale Senior Sports Cup— Judy Nesbitt Intermediate Sports Cup— Mavis Hothersall Junior Sports Cup— Shirley Thomas Preparatory Sports Cup— Lee Mackay. Basketball This year we were fortunate in having ex- tremely good fall weather and without much trouble we were able to get the Inter-house Basketball Games completed by November. Nightingale House was fortunate in win- ning the Senior Games and Keller, the Junior. The points were totaled for the Senior and Junior Games and it was found that Nightin- gale was in the lead. Nightingale therefore has won the Basketball Cup. A game between the Old-Girls and Seniors took place in the spring; also a game between the Juniors and Rock- cliffe Public School is being planned. Skiing Skiing has been exceptionally good this winter and has been one of the chief enjoy- ments of the boarders, who went numerous times to Kingsmere, and to Wakefield. A number of the day girls spent their week-ends at Fortune, and Rockcliffe Park has been used to some extent for the enthusiastic beginners. Skating Skating has increased in popularity exceed- ingly since last winter. The rink has been constantly in use by both the seniors and juniors and has been used for practicing by
