SAMARA 9 4f cMoule A oiel SEPTEMBER found Fry ' s empty ranks filled mostly by new girls, but they have proved that they are worthy to fill the places left by the Fryites we lost last June. We were very sorry to lose Laurette Landymore and Susan Richardson at Christmas, but wish them the best of luck in their new schools. At the beginning of the school year it was decided that the houses would only have one teacher in the house, who would act as an adviser. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Airs. Bruce for all she has done for us. In October Fry presented a serious drama The Valiant . We lost out in the plays; however, the cast of the play are to be con- gratulated. The house was very fortunate this year to take first place in the house collections. Sally Wright has been our capable and energetic sports captain. With the introduc- tion of soccer this year, Fry came first. Here I must thank Susan Richardson, who was the sports captain for the first term. In basket- ball we did not do so well and are hoping to make up for our loss by doing better on Sports Day. To those who are leaving us, I wish the best ever ; to those who remain I express my confidence that they will continue to strive towards those ideals of Elizabeth Fry which have guided us for so long.

KeUen ouIb JVoiel KELLER received many new additions this year, namely: Jane and Joan Yates, Susan Belcourt, Sandra Drew, Jana Stepan, Lilias Ahearn and Lynn Castonguay— who became very valuable to the house. Un- fortunately, we lost Andrea Rowley, Marlene Anber and Barbara Webster during the course of the year. We were honoured to have Madame Krupka as Keller ' s Staff Adviser, since it was decided that the staff in general should not be in houses this year. Keller managed to win the drama competi- tion with a play called Michael — all the cast and helpers deserve medals for patience! Unfortunately, we did not do so well in the house collections, which Fry won. Due to the supreme eff orts of Sheila Mc- Cormick, our sports captain, Keller won the basketball tournaments, although we were not so successful in other sports.

SAMARA 11 The Hallowe ' en Party 30th October. Dear Diary: It ' s rather late now, so I will only write a short note before I turn in. I just came back from our Hallowe ' en party. We had lots of fun. First came the grand m arch, and there was everything from an Elmwood girl to St. George and the dragon. Then we went into the dining room and (if you will excuse the expression) ate our little heads off. Then we moved our ice cream and candies back into the gym and watched the evening ' s entertain- ment. First the teachers put on three skits, Pooh and Piglet , The Seven Dwarfs , and Goldilocks and the Three Bears . These were followed by prize giving, when Mr. Toller (dressed as a beautiful lady) gave prizes. First, second and third awards were for a two-man horse, St. George and the dragon, and a porcupine. Consolation choco- late bars were given out as well. Then the lights were dimmed and a magician came on stage and performed many tricks. At last we all left, feeling very happy. That ' s all, so I am going to bed. Good-night. Arts and Crafts at Elmwood Senior Group This year the Arts and Crafts course has been very successful. Miss Maxwell has been extremely helpful and has given us many dif- ferent interests. Our first project last fall was cross-stitch- ing. Many attractive articles were made, in- cluding purses, place-mats and coasters. Leatherwork has also been very successful. Belts with intricate designs were made as well as wallets, change purses and some very nice moccasms. Felt was very popular this year. Lovely skirts of navy blue, pale blue and turquoise were made. Bags and stuffed toys ranked high in choice. Woodwork is our latest venture. Small toy animals and wooden brooches were made. Gaily painted, they were really attractive. Drawing was done by all grades to suit the season. A three dimensional project was enthusiastically received. The Red Cross Poster Contest was won by one of the girls. The kindergarten made little paper angels which were very popular. Altogether, it has been a very successful year. Junior Group This year Miss Maxwell taught us Arts and Crafts. We painted a few pictures such as Indian heads, dog and fox heads, horse heads, as well as Easter, Valentine and Christ- mas pictures. We also did some modern art and some finger painting. In crafts we did clay modeling, wove baskets, did cross-stitch, and made gimp bracelets. On Friday after- noons we had Hobby in which we made leather objects, such as belts, wallets, change purses, and book covers. We also made two
