A request from Havergal for a few lines for the 1910 Magazine, is indeed a compliment. The question is, what to say; how to begin? In the College Calendars various references are made to the home life of the girls in the College. Two of these references in particular, have always strongly appealed to me, and I feel that I cannot do better than make them a prominent feature of my few remarks. The first, an extract from the Calendar of 1901, is as follows: — The great aim of the College will be, to provide a healthy life for the girls, developing and strengthening their characters, and thus helping them to lead useful and truly happy lives. The second, is an extract from the latest Calendar: — It is not enough, however, to aim at mental and physical de- velopment alone. Since the girl of to-day is the home-maker of to-morrow, the home life of the School must be such as to help her to grow in Christian ideals, in womanly sympathy, and in sound common sense. It is our endeavour to arouse in each girl who comes under our influence, a sense of earnest purpose, and of responsibility for the building up of her own life, and the larger life of the new nation of which she is a member. It is the fact of being, even though in but a small degree, part of the administration responsible for ideals and sentiments so marked and lofty, that has made my connection with Havergal so enjoyable, so happy and so inspiring. That unswerving devotion of the Principal, the staff and the officers, to the interests of the College, the intense loyalty of the scholars, and the splendid esprit de corps of the College as a whole forms a combination so far-reaching, and so forceful, that Havergal must now be considered an important factor in the educational life of the country. That the College may increasingly furnish that healthy home life, already referred to, and continue to grow in strength and influence for all that is good is my earnest hope. Sincerely yours, EDWARD L. DREWRY II Havergal College Magazine PRINCIPAL ' S LETTER Havergal College, Winnipeg, May 24th, 1910. My Dear Girls — We are adding to the portrait gallery of Havergal celebrities provided each year by our frontispiece, the picture of one of our earliest and best friends, the Vice-President of the College, Mr. E. L. Drewry. Old girls, as well as present pupils, will rejoice to see his familiar features and to read the little letter which accompanies them. His generous interest in us and in our work has been proved in countless ways ; his ready help and sympathy with all that will make the College more useful and inspiring is known to each one of us — and Prize Day would not be Prize Day without the kindly smile and gentle shafts of humour of our Vice-President. This year sees us rejoicing in the fulfilment of long-cherished hopes. The Wing, for which we have been waiting, with its fine Assembly Hall, and the new studio, class-rooms and music rooms, is an accomplished fact, and many possibilities of work and efforl lie before us. New privilege brings new responsibility, and a wider, broader School life should be the outcome of this widening of our borders. I like to think that in days to come, the memory of the Hall will bring back to you, not only the vision of Prize Day and the winners in their white dresses leading up to take their well- earned prizes, but of many an every day of pleasure and of profit : Shakesperean scenes well rendered, bright and clever gymnastic work, musical evenings, exhibitions of drawings from the studio, and lectures on subjects of lasting interest. We shall hope to wel- come on our platform many a visitor from the city itself, and from the East and the West, to give us new ideas, or help us better to ' understand the old ones. Yet, after all, these helps are like tonics — things we take to strengthen us and increase vitality — it is the daily food that sus- tains and nourishes life. What you think, and feel, and say, and do within School walls every day in the week is what is making you; the steady work, the brave attempt to correct some habit or weakness, the patient continuance in well-doing, the kind and cour- teous effort to help the weak and frightened, the brave refusal to join in what is unworthy and mean. All these are building up for you a character that will last for the rest of your life, firm and beautiful, strong and splendid as the polished corners of the Temple of which the Psalmist sang long ago. Perhaps you have not thought much yet about this character- building which goes on so silently every day, in School and out of it. You like a fine, large house to live in, and you enjoy the Hall now that it is finished. But you are not yet sure of the plan and the shape of the building of your own life, or whether you are 12 Havergal College Magazine putting into it brick or marble, wood or stone, gold or silver or jewels, or imitations of all these. If so, do not allow another term or another week to pass without finding out, if you are able. The best time for building is in the morning and in the spring of the year, and the work will take us all our lives. You must have a Plan, and the best you can find is in an ancient Book which I hope every one of you study at home, and not only in Church and at School. Last winter, while the Wing was being built, the blue plan was never out of the foreman ' s hands; you could see it every day, worn and torn with frequent use. In your own Bible you will find the picture of a Life daily increasing in wis- dom and stature and growing, as ours must try to do, by prayer and faith and service, and by the grace of God, into a perfect man, the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Xo other plan or pattern or design, believe me, can help you to build your life into a great and stately temple but this one. Among all your after-School memories of our Hall, it is my hope that the best will be of that quiet opening of the day ' s work, when we seek in prayer and praise and reading, new inspiration, new strength and new resolve for the work and effort of a new day. Only, Lord, in Thy dear love Fit us for perfect rest above, And help us this and every day To live more nearly as we pray. With every good wish to all our present and past Haver- galians, Your sincere friend, Eva L. Jones. EDITOR ' S NOTES. As three years have passed since the first issue, and the Haver- gal Magazine is welcomed with as much eagerness as ever, one may safely assume that it has become a school institution. The year 1910 is a very important one in our annals, as the much-talked-of new wing is an actuality, and adds much to the symmetry of the building and to the comfort of its inmates. In- deed, the College has grown to such large proportions that the first Havergalians would no doubt have difficulty in recognizing it. However, the spirit of progress need not in any way interfere with that of good comradeship, and the Havergal old-timers may pride themselves on having added their individual brick to help build the extensions, and may rest assured that there still remains a corner for them in the heart of New Havergal. Indeed, one of the functions of this humble literary effort— the Magazine — is to form a link to perfect the chain between girls of the past, present and future, so that all girls who have been here shall not only have the Havergal banner on their walls and the Havergal Magazine on their shelves, but the Havergal spirit in their hearts. 13 Havergal College Magazine HEALTH. We have been most fortunate in this respect, and have nothing to report more serious than the usual colds, which are not alarming. The Infirmary is now on the top flat, with the Health Mistress ' s room adjoining. It is so arranged that in case of an epidemic of measles, mumps or any other unwelcome visitant, it is possible to shut off the whole suite, and, by a special lift direct from the kitchen to supply the sufferers with their meals, until the infectious period be over, and the colony be ready to return to its regular routine. CONFIRMATION. The Rev. E. C. Burch instructed the confirmation classes, which several of our girls attended. The rite of confirmation was held at Holy Trinity Church on March 20th, when His Grace the Archbishop of Rupert ' s Land addressed the candidates very eloquently. The girls who were confirmed were : Maisie Long- bottom, Margaret Thompson, Isabel Farmer, Dorothy Andrews and Mary Martin. PRIZE DISTRIBUTION. This important event in school annals was held at the College on June 22nd, 1909. His (irate the Archbishop of Rupert ' s Land was in the chair, and after some speeches by the Directors, Miss Jones, the Principal, read her Annual Report, and Lady McMillan showed her continued interest in the College by distributing the prizes. These were many and well merited, as shown by the Prin- cipal ' s report, and were awarded as follows: Form I., Good Progress — (r) Archibald McBean ; (2) Valetta Boyd. Form II., General Proficiency — June Suckling. Form III., General Proficiency — Irma Brock. Form IV., General Proficiency — Fanny Rosner. General Merit — Wilhelmina Aird. Drawing — Jocelyn Allan. Shell, General Proficiency — Clarissa Waring. Form V., General Proficiency — Dorothy Allonby. Matriculation I. — (1) Nora Elliott, (2) Gladvs Downer, (3) Alice Walker. Matriculation II. — (1) Edna Henderson, (2) Gwen Inman, (3) Irene Tuckwell. Nora Elliott won the Day Girls ' Scholarship, and Gladys Downer the Boarders ' Scholarship, both presented by Mr. E. L. Drewry; while Louise Agnew received Lady McMillan ' s gold medal for conduct, Bessie Parker, Mrs. Minty ' s silver medal for litera- ture, and Eileen Tanqueray the silver cup presented by Mr. E. L. Drewry for gymnastics. Special thanks must be proffered to the Very Rev. Dean Coombes for adding to the list of prizes, and at the same time stim- 14 Havergal College Magazine ulating the love of sport, by his gift of a handsome cup for basket- ball, which was won by the Day Girls ' Team.

As the new gymnasium was in course of construction for a great many months of this year, the gymnastic classes have been working under difficulties, which, however, are now removed by the completion of the new hall. Several new pieces of apparatus have been added, and the gymnasium is in good working order. That the girls are interested in the work was shown at the end of last term, when every class drilled before the Principal and the assembled school, and acquitted themselves very creditably, con- sidering the long ' intermission from drill. Entertainments. Among the many entertainments of the year the following have been especially enjoyable : On June 7th, 1909, Ben Greet ' s English Company gave A Midsummer Night ' s Dream at the Walker, when several of our girls went. Before their visit to the theatre, Miss Jones gave a short analysis of the plot, so that even the youngest was able to follow quite clearly its many interlaced themes, which greatly added to their enjoyment of the performance. The fairies and the Mendel- ssohn music were much appreciated. 15 Havergal College Magazine The Annual Masquerade on Nov. 5th was as amusing as ever, Prizes for the best costumes were awarded to Beatrice Hall, as a winsome little Fairy Queen, and Elsie Scrimes, as a most realistic- Chinaman. The two Suffragettes were very prominent, but did not make any converts, though their pamphlets demanding Up with Women, the rightful heads of Creation! and Men to the Wash-tub! voiced a decidedly popular opinion. On April Tgth, a reception was held in the new Assembly Hall to formally declare it open. The whole school was thrown open, and was inspected from top flat to ground floor by the guests. After a complete tour of the building, when the new Studio and Assembly Hall were much admired, the guests had the pleasure of listening to the following musical programme, rendered with much accuracy and charm by the pupils of the school : 1. Valse — Chopin Nora Elliott 2. Sunbeam — Vocal Issie McLean 3. Liebeslied — Bohm Vnhie Wodlinger 4. Valse — Chopin Leone Stephenson 5. Song — Chaminade Gladys Alsip 6. Rigoletto Fantasie — Verdi-Liszt Nora Jardine 7. Calm as the Night — Vocal Stella Boyd S. Etude — Chopin Lelia Henderson Refreshments, served in the dining-hall, brought a most pleas- ant evening to a close.

THE RED RIVER SETTLEMENT It was with a feeling of love and pity for humanity, and a desire to give an exiled people an open, unlimited home, that Lord Selkirk, in 181 1, bought a large tract of land from the Hudson ' s Bay Company. This territory lay along the Red River, and had as its central point the famous Fort Garry. So we see that the founding of this settlement was the establishing of the greatest city of the West. The Scottish Highlanders, at this time, were being cruelly turned from their homes to satisfy the whim of selfish land-owners. Lord Selkirk, understanding the circumstances, grasped this op- portunity of encouraging a distressed people to settle in a new country. In 1 81 2, the first shipload arrived. Besides seventy industrious Scotchmen, we find some twenty Irish immigrants. In this com- pany, landing in 1813, the newcomers consisted mostly of skilled workmen, who came for the purpose of helping the former settlers in the erection of their buildings. Some of these, again, were of Irish blood. During the next two years, 193 immigrants arrived, bringing the total amount of settlers up to 270. Besides the Hudson ' s Bay Company in Canada, there was an- other, which went under the name of The Northwestern. These Nor ' westers, as they were commonly called, considered it unfair that the Selkirk settlement should be s under the care of their rivals, and they therefore set about to entice some of the settlers from their newly-found homes. In 1814, a Nor ' western officer, Duncan Cameron, appeared at Fort Garry, and as a result of his vivid descriptions of life in Upper Canada, about 180 of me original settlers were persuaded to go with him to Ontario. Thus the 18 Havcrgal College Magazine faithful ones were left to fight the battle alone, and to them is due the honour of settling the country. This was in 1814, but a year later 100 more settlers arrived, giving heart to the few who had resisted Cameron ' s wiles. The Nor ' westers, finding that the colony still flourished in spite of their former seductive plans, adopted a new plan — they would try their power over them by arms. So on the 19th of June, 1816, they at- tacked the colony at a point near Main Street North. In this skirmish, called Seven Oaks, the loyal and highly respected governor of the settlement, Robert Semple, was killed. Lord Sel- kirk was, at this time, on his way to the West, and, hearing the .dreadful news, hastened on his journey. He had in his company a numbe r of German mercenaries of the war of 181 2. This war now being over, these men, known as the De Meurons, ' were anxious to find homes this side of the Atlantic. So, on Lord Sel- kirk ' s promising to grant them land, they were willing to follow him to the West. It was through these men that the Parish of St. Boniface was founded, and named after the German apostle and patron saint, Winnifred, or Boniface. In 1820, an agent of Lord Selkirk, Colonel May, was in Swit- zerland, and, thinking he saw in the people of that country the necessary qualities of colonists, he sent over a number of them to the Red River district. But he w r as mistaken, for these people, most of whom were clock-makers and pastry-cooks, were totally unfit for the agriculturist ' s life on the prairie. The most important feature of their advent is best described by an eye-witness : No sooner had the Swiss immigrants arrived, than many of the Germans, who had come to the settlement a few years ago from Canada, and had homes, presented themselves in search of a wife, and, having fixed their attachment with acceptance, they received those families in which was their choice into their habi- tations. Those who had no daughters to afford this introduction, were obliged to pitch their tents along the banks of the river and outside the stockades of the fort. But the De Meurons and Swiss, being unsuited to the country, soon showed signs of discontent, and as a result, removed to that district which at present is the State of Minnesota. In the year 1826, a disastrous thing happened. The Red River flooded its banks, and the inhabitants of the settlement were forced to flee for safety to the higher ground at Bird ' s Hill, Stony Moun- tain and Sturgeon Creek. But the flood soon subsided, and the colonists settled down anew to pursue their labours as farmers and fur-traders. Let us now turn, in conclusion, and compare the conditions under which they lived, and those under which we live. Let us imagine ourselves in 181 6, nearly a century back, standing at the gate of new Fort Garry, comparing the sights to be seen then with those which exist to-day. The walls of the fort are fresh and strong, and a military air pervades ; to-day nothing is left but the ruined gateway, overhung with vines. We look beyond us, and stretched 19 Havergal College Magazine out to the north is a limitless prairie, and the crooked Indian trail, dotted on either side with a feu low houses, winds away and is lost. Lumbering along on this uneven pathway we see a pair of oxen drawing a rude cart. But now, instead of the Indian trail, is seen Main Street, with all its traffic and bustle ; instead of the oxen, a clanging street car or an automobile. We look westward, and a full view of the sinking- sun can be had, as it slowly slips into the morning of another hemisphere. But now its last segment cannot be seen from this point, for huge buildings and houses pre- vent this sight. And so everything is changed ; on all sides we see the advance of years— we see that the present generation has built its walls on the firm foundation of the past. It is clear that they lived for our benefit; for surely now, as residents of the city which they founded, we enjoy the many privileges for which the strong minds and bodies of these hardy settlers laboured. Ihe writer is greatly indebted for matter contained in these lines to the kindness of the Rev. R. C. Johnstone, secretary of the Historical and Scientific Society. Grace McGaw, Matric. I. ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE HAY RIVER MISSION In the rush of school work and amusement Havergal did not forget her little Indian girl, Madeline Etenaishi, at the Hay River Mission. Madeline is eleven years old, and is bright and active in her school work. Last year, June 18th, the Fifth Form gave a dra- matic entertainment to raise the money to support Madeline in the following year. Scenes from Twelfth Night were acted, and were very much appreciated. Norma Boynton played the part of Lady Olivia very well, while Grace McGaw made an excellent Malvolio. Clara Crispo as Maria, Gladys Soot as The Fool, Doris Al- dous as Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and Ruby Henderson as Sir Toby Belch, all did their parts well, entering into the spirit of the play they were acting. Every Form had decorated their class- room. The Shell did a roaring trade in the Gymnasium, and straw- berries and cream were served in the Fourth, and ice cream and cake in Matriculations One and Two. As the Assembly Hall has been built since then, it is probable that we shall provide another entertainment this year for Madeline, and try to raise a large amount of money for her. Mary Estlin, Lower IV. 20 Havergal College Magazine MAY 9th, 1910 npHIS term has been saddened by a ■ • great national calamity, and also by a loss which touches us here more nearly. Until her illness last summer, of all those who visited the College with interest and affection, none was more frequently and warmly welcomed than dear Mary Fortin, our Rector ' s youngest daughter. Even through last winter, when a slow recovery allowed her little active share in the life around her, we found her as bright and interested as ever in College news and visitors. To each and all of us, the loss is a personal one, and hard to be realised. Her vivid interest in life, her quick and gentle sympathy, her dear and loving ways, made her so necessary to all who loved her, that our hearts go out in sympathy and prayer to those who, standing nearest, mourn her most. A suggestion has been made that a bed should be furnished or endowed in her name in the Winnipeg Children ' s Hospital, and this fitting memorial will surely commend itself to many of her friends. 22 Havergal College Magazine FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL Why is our College called Havergal? is a question we often hear asked. And when we explain that it is named after Frances Ridley Havergal, at once follows: Who was she, and what did she do? Therefore a few facts about her life may not be un- acceptable to the readers of this Magazine. Frances Ridley Havergal was born in 1836 at Astley, Wor- cestershire. She was the youngest daughter of the Rev. W. ri. Havergal, then rector of Astley. We are told that even at an early age the child showed signs of surprising precocity. When only four years old she could read the Bible and any ordinary book, and could even write fairly well. At this time, too, she began to think seriously about religious matters, and in the record of her inner life, which she has left us, she describes her soul restlessness, her strivings after happiness, and her angry feeling of impatience at not being made happy at once. She showed remarkable apti- tude for study, and this thirst for knowledge caused her poor old nurse many anxious moments trying to prevent her charge from studying so hard. She always managed to be in the room when the professor was giving her sister German lessons, and in this way she learned so much of the language that the professor begged to be allowed to teach her. At the age of nine she used to write descriptive letters in perfect rhyme and rhythm to her brother Frank and her young friends. Indeed, she often put into rhyme any occurrences that took her fancy. In 1850 Frances entered Mrs. Teed ' s School, at Belmont, and although she spent but six months here, she tells us that it was a turning point in her life. The clouds that obscured her inner path had not yet lifted, but she received much loving counsel and comfort from those around her. Not until she was confirmed in Worcester Cathedral in 1854, did she finally gain the peace that passeth all understanding. From that time on, her life bore testi- mony to this act of consecration and ' self-surrender. on, that He may make me a vessel sanctified and meet for the Master ' s use, was her constant prayer. Not only during her lifetime was she one of the most powerful forces for religion, but even in her books her voice still rings on with holy influence deep and strong. For many years her father had been in poor health, and as he wished to consult a great oculist in Germany, he took Frances with him. Here she was again placed in school while her parents were travelling about. She showed from the first such rare talent, such depth of comprehension, that her progress was extraordinary. In a letter to a friend she writes the following: In the Louisen- schule, when a girl has not learnt everything (as you know I did not) she receives only her testimony, but no number. This half- year, however, it seemed all the masters in council assembled were 23 Havergal College Magazine so very pleased with the Englanderin ' s papers and conduct, that they agreed to break all rules for once, and honour me with Num- ber I., a thing they had never done before. On her return home she carefully kept up all her studies, making extracts in German, French and English. With her father ' s help she acquired sufficient Greek to enjoy the New Testament. She also studied Hebrew, and being gifted with a very retentive memory, she learned by heart the whole of the Gospels, Epistles, Revelations, the Psalms and Isaiah, and the Minor Prophets she learnt in later years. As her father ' s health necessitated a change, the family now left St. Nicholas and moved to Shareshill, where the work was so much lighter that Mr. Havergal could now enjoy a much-needed rest. The following year, at the earnest wish of her sister and her brother-in-law, Henry Crane, Frances undertook the instruction of her two youngest nieces, and so made Oakhampton her second home. Her father approved of this plan, as he thought it would prevent her from studying so hard. But even here her zeal did not slacken, for during the odd moments while her nieces were washing their hands before dinner, she actually learned by heart all the Italian verbs. She was continually having to lay down her work on account of her weak constitution, but after a few weeks ' rest she would come back with recovered health and energy to begin her busy life again — her Sunday School, her weekly Bible Classes, her visiting and her music all claimed a share of her time. Nor did she forget the Y.W.C.A., the Church Pastoral Aid, the Church Missionary Society, and many other societies to which she belonged, and for which she was always collecting. She even found time to sew for the Zenana Mission, which was a society very dear to her stepmother ' s heart. The Rev. W. H. Havergal, though for many years an invalid, was very fond of music and composed many hundreds of chants and tunes and some sacred songs. The profits of these he always devoted to church work. There is no doubt that Frances inherited her love of music from him. Not only could she play through Handel, much of Beethoven and Mendelssohn without notes, but she also composed many tunes herself, and was a wonderfully sweet singer. She was persuaded, when on a visit to Germany, to show her compositions to Hiller, the greatest living composer and authority on music. From him she received most encouraging criticism. Indeed, he said she would do well to make this her life work. Soon after her father ' s death, which had occurred in 1870, she undertook the preparation for the press of Havergal s Psalmody, which was afterwards used in connection with the Rev. C. B. Snepp ' s Hymnal, Songs of Grace and Glory. It is by her hymns that her memory will be kept green, even when all those who knew her sweet and saintly life have passed away. She wrote altogether about sixty-five hymns, and fourteen of these are in our new Canadian Hymnal. They were frequently 24 Havergal College Magazine printed as leaflets or ornamental cards. Perhaps the best-known of these are Thy Life was Given for Me, I Could not do With- out Thee, Thou Art Coming, O My Saviour and O Saviour, Blessed Saviour, all of which breathe the same intensity of de- votion and childlike faith. They were gathered together from time to time and published in her works, as follows: In 1869 appeared The Ministry of Song ; in 1870, Twelve Sacred Songs for Little Singers ; in 1874, Under the Surface ; in 1878 Loyal Re- sponses ; 1879, Life Mosaic ; and after her early death in 1879, Life Chords and Life Echoes. She his not a prominent place as a poet, but by her distinct individuality she carved out a niche which she alone could fill. Simply and sweetly she sang the love of God and His way of sal- vation. To this end and for this object her whole life and all her powers were consecrated. For only work that is for God alone Hath an unceasing guerdon of delight, A guerdon unaffected by the sight Of great success, nor by its loss, overthrown ; All else is vanity beneath the sun — There may be joy in doing, but it palls when done. It was in 1878, while they were living at Leamington, that Mrs. Havergal died, and the sisters decided to give up the home there. Before leaving, Miss Havergal sold most of her jewellery and ornaments and devoted the proceeds to the Church Missionary Society. On their last Sunday evening they attended service in Holy Trinity, when Frances Havergal ' s hymn, Thou Art Coming, O my Saviour, was sung. After a few months spent in visiting, the sisters moved to Caswell Bay, in Wales, but even in this quiet retreat there was no rest for the diligent worker. Every post brought more letters, from strangers alone, than the two could possibly answer. The appeals were miscellaneous: Hymns for special New Year ' s ser- vice wanted — to write cards suitable for mourners — for set of six more ' Marching Orders ' — request for poems to illustrate six pic- tures — request to write a book suitable for Unitarians — to promote a new magazine — to give opinions on an oratorio — with similar requests. No wonder the weary worker was at times overburden- ed ; how worn and weary she was we may gather from her touch- ing words to her sister: I do hope the angels will have orders to let me alone a bit when I first get to heaven. ? She was soon to find this longed-for rest. On June 3, 1879, she passed peace- fully away at Caswell Bay, Swansea, and was buried beside her father and mother in Astley Churchyard. On her tombstone is found this inscription: By her writings in prose and verse she, ' being dead, yet speaketh. ' 25 Havergal College Magazine LADY GREY ' S VISIT. On a bright, sunny day in October the flag of Canada waved over Havergal College. In vain you search the calendar to see why October 19th should be so celebrated. It is neither a school holiday nor a national festival. A unique event in the history of the College took place on that day, when the staff and pupils of the College were honoured by a visit from Their Excellencies Earl and Countess Grey during their tour as His Majesty ' s representa- tives through Western Canada. Great had been the preparations for the visit. Flags were hung on the College porch, and the form rooms were gay with the colours of the Empire and bright with flowers and plants, each form vieing to do greatest honour to their vice-regal visitors. Their Excellencies Earl and Countess Grey, accompanied by their daughter, Lady Sybil Grey, and suite, were received in the drawing-room by Miss Jones and the Directors. The vice-regal party surveyed the class-rooms and were much interested on hearing of the building extension in progress, but were unable to visit the new wing, as it was still in embryo state and the spacious Assembly Hall a mere skeleton. Their Excellencies were escorted to the gymnasium, used temporari y as an Assembly Hall, and as they entered the girls sang the National Anthem. Wilhelmina Aird then presented Her Excellency Countess Grey with a bouquet of chrysanthemums tied with the school colours, and Margaret Nesbitt presented a Havergal Badge to Lady Sybil Grey. Owing to the unavoidable absence of the President of the College, His Grace the Archbishop of Rupert ' s Land, Mr. E. L. Drewry, in a few well-chosen words welcomed the vice-regal visitors, and asked His Excellency Earl Grey to address the girls. Earl Grey, on rising, said he enjoyed visiting the schools of the province, as it was to the youth of the country that the future of Canada belonged. He reminded the girls that Canada was be- coming a great nation, and that its future development depended on the individual character of each citizen. He pointed out that one-third of the nation were of French descent, and that the only progressive countries were bi-lingual, therefore he urged the girls to work hard at the study of French. He spoke very help- fully to the girls, and while fully appreciating the vigour and adapta- bility of the Canadians in the West, he warned them at the same time that lack of reverence for tradition and the better things of life was a weakness which menaced the national character. The ideal character seemed to him to be that which combined the reverence and dependence of the Rom an Catholic with the energy, individuality and initiative of the Protestant. Such a character in each individual would make a nation in Canada worthy of her- self, the Empire and the Crown. Her Excellency Countess Grey presented the medals given 27 Havergal College Magazine by the Royal Drawing Society, England. In the Junior School Enid Allen won the bronze medal for her illustrations of fairy tales, and Stella Boyd, in the Senior School, gained hers for original drawings of animals. Earl Grey asked Miss Jones to grant a holiday to the girls in memory of his visit, which sent them to their form rooms with smiling faces. Thus ended a day which will always remain in our memories as a red-letter day in the School annals. THE WORKMAN. (Genus Homo, Species Kaber) From that moment in far-off September when, rushing up from the station in eager haste to gaze on the splendour of our long- expected Wing, we saw nothing but a few sorry-looking bricks sticking up above the ground, saw no one but was steeped in gloom, from the kitchenless cook to the comfortless staff — from that moment we ceased to have will or volition of our own; from that moment we became mere purposeless puppets, moving only as directed by that most imperturbable of the human species — the workman. You who, unmindful of the dread power of these tyrants, still walk abroad with lightsome tread, pity us poor mortals who, crushed, disheartened, maddened by the long, weary wait and daily disappointment, now gaze upon the completed Wing, not with joyful pulsing of the heart ; not with cheerful pride — but as cynics, sneering at Life ' s delays and faded ideals. You well may ask how we, women and so all-powerful, could possibly be brought so low. Not at first, believe us, did we yield ; nor without some resistance. Xot one of us but made some protest when Duty w T as seen to be now nothing but carrying messages to the foreman, when the telephone was available for College affairs only before 5 a.m. and after 9 p.m. Even the least of us expressed some indignation on returning at night to find all her cherished belongings, clothes, books, pictures, hurled pell-mell into a corner and exactly seven square inches of unnecessary paint applied to the moulding. To sit in our room, protected from the chilling rain by an umbrella and an overcoat, seemed unpleasant at first, but when we had passed through the stages of dense ta smoke and deafening and ever-swarming, never-finishing painters, plasterers, carpenters, foremen, onlookers, to be alone with the rain and what little mind was left seemed bliss indeed. But of what use to pro- test? Of what use resistance? We were dealing with beings at whose word of wounded dignity, plaster cracked, boilers burst, the very heavens fell. And so on for months. Everywhere hushed voices and weary faces. Only the men were cheerful. Snatches of song and merry voices still drifted down to us with pungent odours of tobacco in their lengthy intervals of rest, while they invented new and hideous sounds to rasp our nerves. But in time the zest for this seemed 28 Havergal College Magazine gone. A playful mood succeeded. Humorous notices appeared, warning us out of our own hall. Enviously we watched them frolicking on the gymnastic apparatus we seemed destined never to use. Mutinously we beheld the re-doing and undoing what they had done the day before. Now wherever we crept, our way was blocked by a smiling workman and a ladder, or a cheerfully whist- ling workman with a few hundred feet of boards, or a strolling workman with pots of paint. So, hounded and hunted, we saw the months slip past. The advance of spring brought on the end with a rush. Gradually the swarm of men dwindled, then vanished. Peace settled down on our halls and heads again and, shaking off the horror and humiliation of the winter, we thankfully said good- bye to those super-men who, whether in the bustle and throng of school routine, or in the flurry and turmoil of breaking up, or in the peaceless calm of the holidays, had moved upon their way su- preme and indifferent, had hurried not, had flurried not, had bother- ed not the — genus homo, species faber. M. S. (I thank thee for this word. — Principal.) FRIENDSHIP. A friend is worth all hazards we can run. Perhaps it would not be altogether out of place to say a few- words in a College Magazine on the subject of friendship. Those whose privilege it is to look back on happy years of school life, look back also on friendships formed during that period, which last throughout one ' s life. But in looking back with pleasure and grati- tude on the past, one must not forget those friendships which were formed and broken — formed in all good faith, but broken because they would not bear the test that inevitably followed. And why is it, we ask ourselves, that friendships are so easily broken? Youth is the golden age for friendship. Girls have a perfect genius for making friends, but how does it happen that so many women have very few friends of their own sex? A boy was once asked to name any historically famous friend- ship that existed between two women. His ready reply was : There is none; they can ' t keep it up! Being reminded of the Duchess of Marlborough ' s friendship for Queen Anne, he replied that it was purely selfish, to advance her husband ' s interests, and that it came to an end when the Queen at last grasped the situation. Perhaps the lad was somewhat severe, but there is more than a grain of truth in his answer, and it would be well for us to re- 29 Havergal College Magazine member this — They can ' t keep it up — and to make it our resolve that nothing on our part shall weaken the ties of friendship we have formed. But great care should be exercised in the choice of our friends. True happiness Consists not in the multitude of friends, But in the worth and choice, , and the very fact that girls have such numerous friends should warn us of the fact that their choice may not always be the best, for enthusiasm and feeling of good fellowship will often outrun discretion. The girl who shews her friendship in an emotional, sentimental way is not one to be cultivated, any more than the one who makes friends in order to use them for her own interests. The sensible girl will see that she does not choose for companions those whose influence lowers the standard of her moral life ; but she will look for friends among those whose tone is healthy and uplifting. And of this tone among companions, one cannot speak too strongly. Whether we wish it or not, we are ever influencing those wim whom we come in contact, and equally are we being influenced by them. Whatever our companionships, they must exert a strong influence on our characters — instinctively we adopt the tone of those with whom we associate. Let us never disregard this truth. We must, therefore, seek the best type of friend, and every noble im- pulse in her will be roused in our hearts. Emerson writes beauti- fully on this point : O friend, Through thee alone the sky is arched, Through thee the rose is red ; All things through thee take nobler form And look beyond the earth. The fountains of my hidden life Are through thy friendship fair. And what is it that constitutes a friendship? Briefly it is a bond of sympathy, an inner harmony, which, as Dryden says, makes a friend seem the other half of one ' s soul. The word sym- pathy is derived from two Greek words meaning with and feeling, and surely this expresses to us how necessary is this bond. There must be a compatibility of temperament underlying natures which very often appear to be the exact opposite of one another. Sometimes we take dislikes to people for no apparent reason — I do not like thee, Dr. Fell; The reason why I cannot tell. 30 Havergal College Magazine And, on the other hand, more often do we form strong attach- ments without being able to trace them to their source, except that we have much in common — that is, a bond of sympathy. Granted that we have formed a friendship, what is necessary in order that we may keep it fresh and beautiful? We are all familiar with the expression give and take, and often it happens that there is much taking and very little giving. But this involves, on the one side, much sacrifice, and, on the other, encouragement in selfishness. In friendships, the requirements are mutual — all that we wish our friends to be, we ourselves must also be — all that we would have our friends be, of that, we too, must be capable. What, for example, is more inspiring than the beautiful story of David and Jonathan, or that of Damon and Pythias, and com- ing down to modern times, of Tennyson and Hallam? And what these men were to one another, so was Ruth to Naomi. Through- out the realms of sacred and classic literature, can one find any- thing more lovely or affecting than this story, in which we see the aes of kinship lost in the depths of true and lasting friendship? In sight of the dear hills of Moab, the beautiful land of her birth, Ruth was put to the test. She did not fail, and thus for all times, this story of Naomi and Ruth, told in such exquisite lan- guage, will stand as a type of true friendship between one woman and another. Intreat me not to leave thee. Whither thou goest, I will go. Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried. Such is the voice of friendship, throbbing with the deep love of which a woman is capable. Ruth knew not the land to which she was going. To her, Bethlehem and its people meant a new, strange life, but Naomi was her friend, and for Ruth that was sufficient. In sacrifice lies the supreme test and measure of friendship. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Amicitia. AN EASY GUESS •ss. My i, 2, 3, 4 means to posses My 6, 7, 8, 16 means a heavy wind.

Hear the sound of the trees In the rush of the breeze, And the water ripples on. And up comes the little fawn To drink, drink, drink At the brooklet ' s brink. Flow on to the sea — You a river will be, Where many a little boat On your surface will float ; So let the birds above you throng, I ' m at the end of this my song. Doris Bury, Form IV. Lower. 32 Havergal College Magazine SHAKESPEARE ' S HEROINES. Of the 137 feminine characters in Shakespeare ' s plays, 71 are finished character studies, possessing their own value as such, as well as their dramatic value. Among these come readily to mind Opheiia, Portia, Lady Macbeth. The remaining 66 may be class- ed as minor studies, and while they do not play important roles as do their more exalted sisters, yet they are indispensable to the plots in which they appear, and Shakespeare is remarkable for the care which he expends on his minor characters. Though Shake- speare portrays ideal women, yet his characters on the whole are so human and true to life as to warrant the assumption that he adapted them from living originals, as he did his plots from exist- ing plays. Dividing the women characters into groups according to their chronological order, it is interesting to denote the development and the various phrases through which the poet passes. The first period is bounded roughly by Love ' s Labour Lost and Romeo and Juiiet ; the second period includes The Merchant of Venice and several Chronicle plays ; the third period embraces higher come- dies, as Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night, and later tragedies, as Lear, Othello, Macbeth ; while the fourth period contains three beautiful romances, The Tempest, A Win- ter ' s Tale and Cymbeline. The early heroines, with the exception of Juliet, are not as clearly defined as the later ones. They have sparkle, poetry and youth, but they are not grown up yet. They deal in love philtres and poison cups, they dabble in love in rhymed stanzas, and not love in real earnest. Here we have Helena and Hermia eloping with their respective lovers without a second thought, running hand-in- hand through the woods and quarrelling outrageously under the trees. A serious theme is taken in Two Gentlemen of Verona, but Julia is portrayed as fondly oblivious of any wrong, and thus materials for tragedy are treated as comedy. All the women of this period show the poet ' s great potentialities of strength and genius, which he fully developed in his later plays. The second group covers most of the chronicle plays, but takes in one great comedy, at least, The Merchant of Venice. Here we find the feminine character has gained much in strength, the women ha e intellect as well as heart — there is still the music and poetry as of old, but for the conjunction of poetry and strength Shakespeare is unique. Portia is a good example of this. She shows a balance of heart and head, and possesses besides what writers of less perspi- cacity have denied her sex, namely, a sense of humour. One of Shakespeare ' s own adjectives, sunny, aptly describes her, and this smiling, sweet temper must have considerably softened her lot under her father ' s embarrassing will. Again, how Portia must have enjoyed her adventure in man ' s costume, and what joy she must have felt at nonplussing the learn- 34 Havergal College Magazine ed advocates at court. Yet her subsequent submissive womanly surrender to Bassanio contradicts certain modern ideas of the wo- man ' s suffrage faction, and repudiates the idea that Portia was a mannish woman. In the troublous times depicted in the chronicle plays, we get a group of unhappy storm-tossed women. Shakespeare makes them subservient to the will of man, and accentuates their woes by a cer- tain hardness of treatment. She is a woman, therefore may be won, is the cynical cry. The repulsive hunchback, Richard of Gloster, slayer of her former husband, demands and receives the hand of Lady Anne over the corpse of her dead husband ' s father. Was ever woman in like manner woo ' d? Constance ' s mother- ly heart is broken. Here I and sorrow sit! she cries, and casts herself on the ground with, Here is my throne. Alas! I am a woman, friendless, hopeless! is the pathetic cry of Queen Kath- arine. But amid these sorrowful heroines comes one bright sun- ray, in the person of Lady Percy, merry, tender and spirited, the best vindication of the charge against Shakespeare that at this period his women characters are all dolorous ones. In the third period the poet ' s horizon is so large that he por- trays every type of feminine character, and whereas in the Chronicle plays, comparatively speaking, there are few women characters, in the higher comedies we get the stage full of them. Shake- speare shows a great advance on the women of the first period ; in many cases, as with Julia and Hero, he takes the same theme, and we can compare how much broader and firmer is his touch. Here are girlish, captivating Rosalind, full of sentiment, but laughing at sentimentality; forlorn Viola, indiscreet Desdemona, dignified Olivia, naive Katharine of France, and winsome Beatrice. If one may digress, Shakespeare in creating the shrew, Kathar- ine, has the same opinion as the old Turkish seer, whose cantank- erous wife one day drowned herself in a fit of temper. The old man went down to the river-bank and started up-stream looking for her body. But, Effendim, remonstrated his followers, who thought his mind was unhinged with the shock, surely by all the laws of Nature thy wife will float down-stream! Not so, said the sage, continuing his way, she was a woman; therefore will she go contrary. Then we come to the luckless women : Ophelia, the victim of circumstance ; Cordelia, sweet, but obstinate, and lacking in tact ; and lastly, the women of whom it might be said: Let it not be believed for womanhood — Regan, Goneril and, later, Lady Mac- beth. In this group we have the tide of po etry, rhythm, music, mer- riment, pathos, melancholy, hope, misanthropy, which we have traced from a little stream, risen to a mighty flood. We see woman in her many phases, good women, wicked women, heroines, angels, monsters, all true to life, and whose counterparts we may find in history or in the world of today. 35 Havergal College Magazine The fourth and last period represents the calm after the storm. Here we have an Arcadia, in which walk Miranda, Perdita and Imogen. This is the atmosphere of idylls and dreams, the bright fancies of youth are there, and though the frolic and sparkle of the earlier heroines are absent, yet the happy smile is left ; and in place of the violence and turmoil of the women of the second and third periods, Shakespeare gives us a picture of peace and serenity as befits the close of day, the end of life, when ships glide out of tumul- tuous surges into ports and happy havens. Khan um. THE LIBRARY Since the last number of the magazine was printed, great changes have come to pass, but none more welcome than the one affecting our library. No longer does the bookcase stand in a dark corner of the corridor, but has all for its own the large room on the ground floor known formerly as the K. G. Although new books have from time to time been added, several of the new shelves necessarily are still empty. Two of our old girls, Gwen Inman and Edna Henderson, no doubt moved by that dumb appeal, have pre- sented us with a volume in memory of their stay in the college. This seems a very practical way of showing that appreciation of the school life that :ill our outgoing boarders feel, and I heartily thank Gwen and Edna for the thought. Already the idea has been well received, and many books have been promised by girls who are leaving. I should also like to thank the two girls, Maisie Longbottom and Dorothy Allonby, whose cheerful help in indexing and distributing the books has been of the greatest value possible throughout the year. The Librarian. SUMMER IS COMING The winter will soon be over, The sun will commence to shine. The lawn will be white with clover, ' Twill soon be summer time. Beautiful spring is coming, And the flowers fyegin to bloom ; The bees will start their humming, And summer will be here soon. Green are the leaves coming out, They are budding far and near; Pansies turning their heads about, Saying, Summer will soon be here. M. S. Aikins, Form IV. Upper. 36 Havergal College Magazine FROM CAPE TOWN TO PRETORIA AFTER THE WAR We left beautiful Cape Town, with its interesting mountain, its shining bay, its wonderful masses of flowers, on a clear spring- evening, to go up-country, where but a few months before had been the terrible fighting. We had engaged a compartment in the train, and each of us had the necessary permits to travel through the Orange River Colony and the Transvaal. As we knew it would be risky to rely on the station-served meals, we had a large hamper containing food for the journey. There was no bed-linen in the sleeping berths, so we slept par- tially clothed, and used blankets for greater warmth. The electric lights were in use for the evening of departure, but after that oil-lamps took their places, and very poor light they gave. One was fixed in the ceiling of our compartment, and oc- casionally it was almost extinguished and we poor creatures ate our evening meal in semi-darkness. The night passed quickly, and the morning sun showed us the characteristics of the country through which we were journeying — brown veldt, brown kopjes, and farm-houses dotted here and there in the midst of large tracts of land, on which stately ostriches could be frequently discerned. We remarked many refuge camps where numbers of women and children had been stationed during the war-time, for the sake of safety and comfort. The barb-wire fences had bully-beef tins fastened to them, so that if one of the enemy accidentally touched the wire the tins would rattle, and so the watchers were alarmed. Then again, blockhouses were a feature of the country — pen li- ed on the kopjes within easy distance of one another, communica- tion was kept, and a good view of the surrounding country was obtained. These blockhouses had been built during the time of the guerilla warfare, and were occupied by a non-commissioned officer with a few men. Many severe fights took place at the block- houses. White mounds were dotted over the veldt, each marking a place where a hero lay sleeping. Monuments were raised at a later date, and the graves are cared for, whilst on Decoration Day flow- ers and wreaths are laid on them by kind hands. The resting place of brave General Wauchope was pointed out to us, and we thought of his hard-fought battle at Magersfontein. We greatly appreciated having our hamper with us, as the meals to be had at the stations were far from palatable. A friend who accompanied us on our journey had taken no food with her, preferring to eat her meals at the stopping-places. It was either a wild rush or a dawdle at each place, and she frequently waited for dinner until eleven o ' clock at night. Of course we took pity on 37 Havergal College Magazine her and gave her sardines, etc. ; she regretted not having taken a hamper herself, when she saw how comfortable we were. We pro- cured goats ' milk at various points, it being the only kind avail- able ; however, it proved very acceptable to us. Bloemfontein was one of the principal stations we passed, and Johannesburg the Golden was another. Our journey of three days and nights came to an end at last ; not that it had tired us : on the contrary, it had been most interest- ing — but we were anxious to reach Pretoria. Flora M. Steele, Form V. Upper. THE PLAINT OF THE PIANO. At last I was to be sold, lor somebody was saying, Yes, I will take this one. Please send it to Havergal College. I was indeed delighted to hear this, for it seemed to me that I had been standing in that store for months, and I was tired of having nothing to do. The next day I was hoisted up on a large wagon, and care- fully wrapped in sacks. After a great deal of bumping and noise, the wagon stopped in front of a large stone building, and I was carried — not very carefully, it seemed to me — up three flights of stairs, and at last put down in a small room with a glass door. Nobody came near me for a long time, and then in walked a tall, grown-up looking girl, with a large music-case under her arm. Her playing was nice and soft, and it made me feel happy again, as I thought that perhaps I would now have an easy life if the girls were all like her. But my hopes were soon dispelled, for a bell rang and in stamped a short, fat little girl, who sat down and banged as if she were pounding stone. Really! I thought, I cannot stand this much longer; and, fortunately for me, the bell rang again. Then in came another girl, with large, sad-looking eyes, and said, This is my piano. Well, I know, replied the other, and very glad I am to give it to you. The girl sat down and played a few scales, and then, putting herself down on me, sobbed as if her heart would break. I certainly did feel sorry for the poor girl, but then, you know 7 , it was not very comfortable to have her tears trickling down through my notes, and besides, I was beginning to feel rather wet. Soon a mistress came in and took her away. I was left alone till the next bell rang again, and I must conless that I was not looking forward with very ' much pleasure to the girl who was to come. In a few minutes I heard a voice saying, Well, you ' ll really have to take a bad mark, as you knew it was against the rules. 38 Havergal College Magazine In came an angry girl of about fourteen. She flung the window up, gave the piano-stool a twirl, sat down and struck a few chords, muttering angrily, Hateful thing! I really did not know if she meant me, but I hoped not. She then played a piece and pedalled so hard that I thought my poor pedals would soon be broken. Great was my relief when the bell rang, and I was left in peace for the rest of the day. Isabel M. Farmer. THE NIGHT ATTACK There was no sound of revelry by night, And Peace was brooding, like a mother hen, O ' er cubicle and corridor, and bright The moon shone o ' er the idle desk and pen ; Four dozen souls slept heavily, and when Some snore arose with a melodious swell, The drowsy heads would turn to rest again ; And all was snug and still, for all was well. But hush ! hark ! a deep sound strikes like a rising-bell ! Did ye not hear it? No, ' twas but the blind, Or the car rattling over Broadway Street.

Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the name of Bach frequently occurs in the annals of Grafenrode, as ingen- ious musician and composer. It will thus be seen that Johann Sebastian Bach, born at Eisenach, in 1685, inherited his talent from a line of musical ancestors. His predecessors lived in the time of the Thirty Years ' War in Germany. The real musical ancestor was Hans Bach, who was born about 1580. He was called The Player, which meant the profes- sional musician. His second son, Christoph, was the granuxather of Johann Sebastian. This great composer led a very simple and uneventful life. His father taught him to play the violin. i e was left an orphan when he was ten years old, and he then went to live with his elder brother, Ambrosius Bach. Under Ambrosius ' direc- tion he began to study the clavier. At the age of fifteen Bach entered the Convent School of St. Michael at Luneburg. Here the clavichord and organ were his chief studies. In his holidays, Bach travelled 150 miles to hear Reinkin, a famous old Dutch organist, play. In 171 7 Bach was made Direc- tor of Music and Cantor to St. Thomas ' School, Leipzig. He held this appointment until his death. Bach ' s studies af- fected his eyes, and in 1749 he became totally blind. He died the next year. Bach wrote fantasies and forty-eight preludes and fugues in all keys for the piano. His celebrated G Minor Fugue was written in 1720, at the time of his journey to Hamburg. In Leipzig he wrote Von Himmel Hoch. His sacred music, church cantatas, Passion and Christian music are of the best, both for religious spirit and artistic composition. Bach invented an instrument called the Viola Pomposa, and he wrote educational works for his pupils. Bach ' s importance for the history of music lies in the fact that, starting with instrumental music and adhering to the spirit of it, he developed all forms and species of composition in an entirely new and independent manner. Marion Bell and Dorothy Andrews. Form V. Lower. Extracts from letter written by Mrs. Harris (whom we know better as Agnes McLeod), on her way to China: Eighty miles beyond Yokohama. When we reached Yokohama, within a few hundred yards, our boat anchored and Japanese doc- tors examined us and allowed us to pass on. We were met at the wharf by some old friends of Mr. Harris, and Mrs. Kern, Mrs. Coates (a lady whom my husband knew when he was a boy), and Mr. and Mrs. Connolly from Tokio. These two were college mates. It was indeed a joyous meeting for them ; they seemed so pleased to see friends from home. 45 Havergal College Magazine We all went about sight-seeing in the curio stores, etc., had a few rides in the jinrickshaws, which were very amusing to us, and finally we thought we would have lunch at a Japanese restaur- ant. Here was the experience of our lives. First of all we were relieved of our boots (I ' m sorry to say that some of our party had holes in their stockings, which is excusable, as we had all been seasick; this is, however, a side show), and taken up to a table about six inches off the floor, with mats to kneel upon at the sides. Then we were given some raw meat and rice, and three of us shared a charcoal burner and a little frying pan. It was really awful, but a very interesting experience. At three o ' clock our boat pulled out and we stood on deck to watch the setting sun. Really, I had never believed that the Japan- ese were representing sunsets as they really are on their postcards, etc., but when I saw the sunset to-night I was convinced. The colours after the sunset were indescribable. Such rich red tints as we do not see in Western Canada. MY TONIC. (Dedicated to the Hoarders.) Who sympathizes in the Spring When I must take this horrid thing? Who really likes the oil of fish, Or hypophosphites, sweet and rich? Nobody. Who offers kindly in my place To drink it down with smiling face? Who runs to fetch in anxious haste Some sweets to take away the taste? Nobody. And who is sorry for my sake To see the faces that I make? Whoe ' er, if such a thing may be, Would drink the draught instead of me? Nobody. But who reminds me, though I ' m blue, That once again that Dose is due ? Everybody. 40 Havergal College Magazine HATTIE STARR O, the wildest of F resides is come from the West, Through all the wide border her looks were the best ; And, save her valise, she parcels had none, She rode independent ; she rode all alone. So big in proportion, she half filled the car — - There never was girl like the young Hattie Starr. She stayed not for teacher, she stopped not to phone, She mounted the street car, where steps there were none ; But ere she had reached the Havergal gate The teacher had found her and settled her fate, For a sharp-eyed young schoolma ' am had seen from afar The monsterous stride of young Hattie Starr. So boldly she entered the Havergal hall, ' Mongst teachers, and boarders, and scholars, and all. Then spoke the head mistress, her brain in a whirl : Remarkable conduct for one little girl; Now come you in peace, or our good name to mar — Please answer me quickly now, young Hattie Starr? She made a quick exit with head held up high, While the whispered remarks around her did fly ; She heard them and turned, with a pitiful sigh, A sad, dismal face and a tear in her eye ; She flew up the stairs ere the way they could bar, This poor, misunderstood young Hattie Starr. So green in her ways that she couldn ' t stand The harmonious new orchestra called Sousa ' s Band ; She ate peas with her knife, and her pass-word was (iee! That she was a fresh ' un one could not but see, But study was her pet aversion by far — This amusing, ridiculous, young Hattie Starr. One day she her lessons no longer could bear, Her hair she did puU, and her fists rent the air; She made for the window, and from it she swung, And ere one could stop her, to earth she had sprung ; In jumping the fence, she its framework did jar, And away down the street fled young Hattie Starr. There was fussing ' mong teachers, and pupils, and all, And they moaned her escape with many a bawl ; Next morn at the door they found her outstretched, And the Principal quickly a good doctor fetched ; They could not revive her, she ' d passed away far — Oh, weep for the fate of the wild Hattie Starr ! 47 Havergal College Magazine THE LADY OF SHALOTT In The Lady of Shalott, Tennyson has given to the world one of the most beautiful and musical poems of English literature. His descriptions especially are very real — so graphically are the scenes described that we immediately form the pictures in our own minds of the lady in the lonely tower, spinning by night and day, of Sir Lancelot riding by with his armour, and the villagers passing on the way to Camelot. There is something very fascinating in the mystery which sur- rounds the heroine. The poet does not tell us why this lovely woman is a captive in the isolated tower, or what spell she is under, but leaves it to our own imaginations. We are shown how strong is the craving for love and human companionship ; how the woman who was not moved or excited by any of the sights reflected in her mirror was aroused when she saw the knights riding two by two, or the young lovers strolling in the moonlight. Her death is very picturesque, and a fitting close to a strange, unnatural life. We see the barge floating down the willow-shadow- ed river, and on it, dressed in purest white, the Lady of Shalott singing her last song. And Lancelot, who has innocently been the cause of her death, when he sees her is strangely drawn to her, as she has l een to him. Altogether, this is a very beautiful little poem, full of musical rhythm and lovely thoughts. Kathlyn B. Hinton, Shell Form. MY VISIT TO AN INDIAN RESERVE MISSION. Two years ago I went to visit some friends on a ranch near McLeod. On Easter Sunday we got up very early with the inten- tion of attending service at the Mission Church of the Indian Re- serve, at some distance from the ranch. We drove about fourteen or fifteen miles over bare country, seeing a few cows and horses and numerous wild animals. Soon we came to a river, and as it is never safe to ford rivers in spring, our driver stopped to see where it looked shallowest. Just then an Indian boy came up and told us it was quite safe, and, to show us, laughingly went over first. It was a deep river, and we had to stand on the seats and hold up our provisions to keep them from getting wet, as the wagon was full of water. 48 Havergal College Magazine After this we had only two more miles to drive, and soon saw the mission. I was much surprised to see so large a place, as one rather expected to see tents scattered about, and a hut for the missionary. There was, however, a two-storey house for the residence and classrooms, a large stable, a hospital and other buildings, besides large fields for sports. The missionary could not take us through the residence, but we went up to a large room where he kept his Indian things, and he showed us some lovely beadwork. At eleven o ' clock we went to church, and when the bells chimed, in came the boys and girls, two and two, and took their places, some in the choir, some in the band, and the rest formed the con- gregation. They sang in English and used The Book of Common Prayer and Hymns Ancient and Modern. After the service we stayed in church while the band played to us. Their music was written on a board, and they used instruments something like a flute and a drum, and very peculiar music it was. The girls were dressed very queerly. Some had summer dresses and winter hats, and others winter clothes, straw hats and white shoes and stockings. Their style of hair-dressing was funny, too. The smallest girls had their hair done up on the tops of their heads, while the big girls left theirs loose. After church we had dinner, and had to start almost at once for the long drive home. It was an enjoyable visit that I shall never forget, and I hope to go again some time and see over the buildings we omitted to inspect. Adelina Henderson, Lower Fifth Form. UNCLE BOB. The Havergal line may often be seen taking their constitu- tional down Smith Street to Uncle Bob ' s. This is a morning walk, as it is not very far. Uncle Bob is a cobbler, well patronized by our girls, who generally visit him with a badly-damaged boot under one arm and skates under the other. When we say visit, we do not mean that we all go into his shop, for Uncle Bob ' s place of business is very small — some- what resembling a rabbit-hutch, and we would have some difficulty in getting in. 49 Havergal College Magazine Just the ones who are fortunate enough to have a worn-out boot or dull skates are allowed to enter. The others wend their way to Portage, to see busy people going to business. Then back they come and wait patiently — or impatiently, as the case may be — outside Uncle Bob ' s door until the more fortunate ones join them. Inside, he has a counter and stool, with stacks of boots, all sorts, sizes and colours, littered over the place. Everything is on a miniature scale, with the exception of Uncle Bob himself, who is a big, fat, jolly, talkative old Scotchman with a very broad accent. Indeed, his bright, cheerful countenance puts you in a good temper for the rest of the day, even though he never has your boot ready when you call for it ! In fact, Uncle Bob has become quite an institution, and in days to come, when we look back on old times and Havergal memories, our morning calls to the friendly cobbler on Smith Street will not be forgotten. Margaret Thompson. A FRAGMENT. (After Hiawatha ] In the classroom called the Fifth Form, Called the Lower Fifth, Big Schoolroom, Dwelt a class of twenty maidens, Twenty-two in all their number , Twenty-two not always present ; Girls of thirteen up to sixteen, Varied in their age, attainments, Figures, faces, forms and fashions, As the wild flowers on the prairie, As the leaves that fall in autumn. At their head an English teacher, Tall, severe and stern of feature, Very strict and very English ; Giving bad marks for a trifle — Coming late or leaving early — Talking when there should be silence- Silence when it is not golden — Careless work, neglected duties — Dirty blackboards, desks untidy. But for all they were united, 50 Havergal College Magazine Loyal to their form, their college, Peaceful dwellers with their neighbours. On their left, the Upper Fifth Form, Upper Fifth, Matriculation. Very pleasant were these neighbours, Very pleasing were their voices, Heard both in and out of season, In the passage round the doorway. Very tropical their classroom, Radiators, shut-up windows, Heat abundant, fresh air scanty. Long they lingered after school hours Over desks and round the doorway, Sauntered fondly down the passage, Gossiping at every form room. Smiling, sociable and pleasant Was their Nova Scotian teacher ; Very tenderly she led them Down the crooked paths of fractions, On to Algebra and Euclid, Up to Higher Mathematics, Till they smiled upon their problems As she smiled upon their labours. On their right hand was the Shell Form ; Foes and fighters were these neighbours. They would seize the chairs at prayer-time, Spill the ink, and drop their papers, Borrow books and shift the ink-wells ; Till at last, by numbers greater Grew they than the noble Fifth Form, And by virtue of their numbers They by strategy and cunning Seized the classroom called the Fifth Form, Called the Lower Fifth, Big Schoolroom — Thus they robbed the noble Fifth Form Of their birthright and possession. Will they ever make atonement? Shall the Fifth regain their birthright? Wait and see! said Premier Asquith. Wait and see! the Fifth Form echo. Thus they wait, and in the meantime They have made their new form glorious, With their Chaucer ' s Pilgrim Pictures, With their maps and plant and goldfish ; Thus they triumph o ' er their hardships, Thus they vanquish o ' er the victors. 51 Havergal College Magazine BOARDERS ' ALPHABET.

Dean Coombes was very keen. The Day Girls ' team were the victors last year, but the Boarders are working hard to gain it this season, and at the finish of the Fall basketball season were leading by 3 games to 2. JUNIOR BASKETBALL. The Juniors played many matches, and always turned out in good numbers and with great enthusiasm. When they have learned how to lose good-temperedly, as well as to win, they will provide valuable recruits for the senior teams. Also they should not change places in the team so often, as it spoils combination work. Among the Junior members, the following should be especially mentioned as playing well : Florence Carey and Marjorie Hazelwood, the captains, who have done good work on their teams. Edith Tupper, a good player, but inclined to be rough. Elsie Scrimes, a keen, plucky player. SENIOR BASKETBALL. A meeting was called on Sept. 28th, 1909, to elect officers for the coming year. Gladys Downer and Marguerite Alsip were chosen captains, and Dorothy Allonby appointed secretary. It was decided to play the first game of the season on the same day as the meeting. Sept. 28th, 1909 — The first game of the season resulted in a win for the Day Girls ' team by 8 to 1 goals. Mary Tuck well scored 3 goals and 1 penalty goal for the Day Girls, and Maisie Long- bottom the 1 goal of the Boarders ' score. 53 Havergal College Magazine The teams were as follows : Boarders. M. Longbottom goal A. Henderson Lottie Ironside centre F. Rosner N. Burton D. Allonby guard G. Downer Day Girls. Mary Tuckwell N. Elliott E. Tupper J. Jordan H. Muldrew B. Machaffie Oct. ist — Junior team v. Boarders ' team. The Juniors were very plucky in not losing- heart against a much stronger team. The game, however, was a poor one, being spoilt by rough play on both sides. The score resulted in 19-13 goals in the Boarders ' favour. This game did not count as a championship one. Oct. 5th — Day Girls v. Boarders. The Day Girls played with several substitutes. The game resulted in a draw — 2 goals all. Oct. 13th — Day Girls v. Boarders. A very good game; plucky defence and good passing by Boarders. Score 19-5 in favour of Boarders. Oct. 19th — Day Girls v Day Girls. Oct. 26th — Dav Girls v, Boarders. Score 13-7 in favour of Boarders. A win for the Boarders. Oct. 27th — A meeting was called to decide if the game on Oct. 26th should be counted, as two girls on the Day Girls ' team had been put off for not wearing running shoes. It was decided by twelve votes to one that the game should not be counted towards the championship. Oct. 29th — The last game of the season proved to be a very hard one. It resulted in favour of the Boarders by 12 to 9. The line-up was as follows : Boarders. Allie Pitblado Nora Burton Adelina Henderson Dorothy Allonby Maisie Longbottom Gladys Downer (capt. Fanny Rosner goal centre uard Day Girls. Mary Tuckwell Nora Elliott Emma Tupper Jeanette Jordan Nora Jardine Bettie Machaffie Marguerite Alsip HOCKEY. Owing to the winter being a short one, there were not so many hockey matches as usual, but those that were played were thor- oughly enjoyed. 54 Havergal College Magazine Havergalians do not allow such little difficulties as an unswept rink to daunt them, and will cheerfully brandish brooms and sweep off the snow and still have enough energy to play a good game. The annual meeting to elect the captains was held on Jan. 18th. Allie Pitblado was chosen for the Boarders ' team and Bettie Mac- haffie for the Day Girls ' team. It was also unanimously carried that play should begin immediately. Jan. 25th, 1 910 — The first game of the season resulted in a win for the Boarders by 4 to 1 goals.

During the first half no goals were scored, but in the second half the girls succeeded in scoring one goal, which was quickly followed by one for the mistresses. Play con- tinued very briskly to the end, the girls only succeeding in getting one more goal, which left the score 2-1 in favour of the girls. The line-up was as follows : Boarders. F. Rosner M.

The girls managed to score one goal against their opponents, who were obviously too strong for them; but in spite of this, the game was a very enjoyable one, and contested to the very end. The St. John ' s team scored five ;oals, and Allie Pitblado shot Havergal ' s single score. Feb. 1 8th — Havergal v. Wellingtons. As our visitors ar- rived with two players short, it was decided to play five on each side. The advantage was decidedly in favour of the college team, who secured four goals to the Wellington ' s one. Alue Pitblado and Margaret Thompson shot the goals for the college, and Elsie 55 Havergal College Magazine Scrimes made several very neat rushes, but failed to score. Maisie Longbottom at point made a good defence. COMMENTS ON PLAYERS. Allie Pitblado — A good captain and strong player. Always alert. Fanny Rosner — Good, but would benefit by more practice. D. Allonby — Keen player, but should practise skating, and should not gossip on the ice. M. Longbottom — A good point, but needs practice at hitting harder. B. Machaffie — A strong player, but needs to skate faster. M. Thompson — A plucky centre. (i. McGaw — Should make a very strong player. F. Burton — Very good, but should follow up the puck. N. Boynton — Would be good with more practice. E. Tupper — A good player, but needs practice in wielding the stick. Elsie Scrimes — Though a junior, she has played in many of the senior games, and acquitted herself very well and pluckily. She should learn to play her hardest on a losing side, as well as on a winning one. Marjorie Dickson — One of last year ' s team. Has not played much this season, owing to illness. Spares — K. Hinton and members of the Junior School. Dorothy Allonby, Hon. Sec. H.S.A. Form V. Upper. SNOWSHOEING Yo-ho ! Yo-ho ! We are the girls who snowshoe, you know. Out in the forest thro ' ice and snow, Returning triumphant, we ' re hungry, you know. Yo-ho ! Yo-ho ! - . ■fc 1 A merry group in River Park 56 Havergal College Magazine The woods at River Park and City Park have frequently rung with our merry snowshoe songs this winter. We owe a lasting debt of gratitude to Miss Adams and Miss Springate for forming the Excelsior Club three seasons ago — since when it has become a deservedly popular institution. We shall very much miss the President, Miss Adams, who has lately left us to be married, when we take our snowshoes out from their summer retreat next season. Besides the excursion to Deer Lodge, which is described else- where, there was a particularly enjoyable tramp to River Park, when the following photographs were taken and our favourite tramping songs, We went to the animal fair and Sweetly sings, made the echoes resound. Sweetly sings the donkey As he goes to hay ; If you don ' t sing with him He ' s sure to run aw r ay. Yo-ho ! Yo-hi ! Yo-ho-yo-hi-yo-hay ! The Snow-shoe Express A mile a minute ! Presidents Past and Present of the Excelsior Snow-shoe Club SNOWSHOE TRAMP TO DEER LODGE We knew a few days before of our snowshoe tramp to Deer Lodge, and we were all looking forward to it with a great, deal of pleasure. The eventful day arrived, clear and cold, and we were all Havergal College Magazine waiting dov n in the hall at ten o ' clock. The party included Miss Jones, who very much honoured the occasion by her presence; Miss Adams, Miss Springate, Miss Church, Miss Norrington, Miss Hol- ditch, Miss Gourley, Miss Lewis, Adelina Henderson, Fanny Ros- ner, Pearl Pieper, (Lottie Ironsides, Elsie Scrimes and myself. We took the car as far as the City Limits, and then snowshoed along the Assiniboine River. It was great fun climbing fences and sliding down banks ; to do this latter feat the snowshoes are crossed at the back, and down you go in haste. If the snowshoes come un- crossed you do not feel quite as pleasant, as you are generally landed in a large snowdrift We made the old woods re sound by our merry songs and calls, and arrived at Deer Lodge about half past twelve — all of us very ready for our lunch. We enjoyed it immensely amidst the jokes and jolly conversation, having one long table, with Miss Jones at one end and Miss Springate at the other. Afterwards we had some music, and had great fun talking to the parrot. Then we went up to the large ball-room and danced, and although moccasins may not look very pretty for dancing, they are very comfortable About three o ' clock we started for home, and some, feeling rather tired, took the car, while others snowshoed. I think we shall always remember our snowshoe tramp out to Deer Lodge with great pleasure, and thank Miss Adams for arranging such a pleasant picnic for us. Isabel Farmer, Shell Form.

The girls to take the examination this year have been already selected. There are 85 on the list, and good results are expected. When Countess Grey visited the school in October, she pre- sented the two bronze medals which were won last year by Enid Allan and Stella Boyd at the R. D. S. Exhibition in London. This encouraged several girls to send in sheets to a similar exhibition this year, when we hope to win more medals. Jocelyn and Enid x llan, Florence Carey, Barbara Lemon and Mary Martin sent sheets of School Scenes, while Marjorie Hazelwood did a design found- ed on water lilies for a table cover. Irma Martin ' s choice was Machinery, and Iveagh McCombe and Eileen Tanqueray tried Bird Studies and Outdoor Scenes, respectively. After Christmas, the drawing class took possession of the new studio. It is a great advantage to have a room especially fitted for art work. The studio is in the new wing, on the top flat. It is a long, narrow room, and has an excellent north light, as the northern windows extend all along one side. On Feb. nth the drawing class assisted Miss Hanson in giv- ing a lantern exhibition of some of the world ' s great pictures. The entertainment was held in the studio, and Miss Millidge worked the lantern. There was a fair attendance, and the proceeds — $6.50 — went to the studio fund. The drawing class has increased in numbers this year, as many beginners joined. Some good work has been done by the class. Marjorie Hazelwood, Flora Steele and Sybil Kneeland have done some good designs, and Betty Mnchaffie ' s black and white work is especially good. Florence Carey, Form V. Lower. 59 Havergal College Magazine ART NOTES. It is fortunate that the results of the Royal Drawing Society ' s Exhibition, held in London, are published in time for this year ' s Magazine. We have much pleasure in congratulating the following girls who have won laurels for Havergal : Eileen Tanqueray — Bronze Star. Jocelyn Allan — -Bronze Star. Enid Allan — Bronze Star. Iveagh McCombe — Highly commended, First Class. Irma Martin — Highly commended, First Class. Florence Carey — Highly commended, Second Class. Marjorie Hazel wood — -Highly commended, Second Class. MUSICAL NOTES. February joth — All the boarders were entertained in the drawing-room by Miss Jones, when Pearl Hall, Fanny Rosner, Dorothy Allonby and Gladys Downer played. March ist — Several girls went with Miss Crampton to hear Mark Hambourg. His choice of selections, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and modern composers, his skilful execution and his won- derful interpretation, won the applause of all present. April 4th, 5th, Oth — The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra of fifty instruments, in conjunction with the Winnipeg Oratorio So- ciety, gave six concerts here — two each day. The first afternoon, selections from Mendelssohn, Handel and Liszt were given, and in the evening a very pleasing programme was presented, in which the most striking number was Wagner ' s Ride of the Val- kyries. The next evening, the Oratorio Society sang selections from Lohengrin, by Wagner, and Stabat Mater, by Handel. The last afternoon, a popular programme was given. Most of the selections were well known, so were greatly appreciated. The Overture from William Tell, by Rossini, the Lyric Suite, by Grieg, and selections from Madame Butterfly, by Puccini, were the choice of the audience. In the evening- the Oratorio Society rendered Sullivan ' s Golden Legend, accompanied by the Sym- phony Orchestra. On March 31st Miss Agnew gave a pianoforte recital in the hall of the Y.M.C.A. Unfortunately, it was held during the holi- days, so that the girls had not the pleasure of attending it ; we are glad, however, that it was such a success. On April 19th several of Miss Crampton s and Mr. Kitchen ' s pupils played at the reception held in honour of the opening of the new Assembly Hall. The music in all cases was exceptionally good, and won enthusiastic applause; but Nora Jardine ' s rendering of the difficult Rigoletto Fantasy, Verdi-Liszt, was particularly praise- worthy. Stella Boyd delighted everybody by her singing. Her voice has gained very much in tone and volume since she has taken singing lessons. Gladys Downer, Matric.

One night her mother was going to give a ball, and she sent her daughter out to gather some wild roses for the ball. As she was picking them a kind- looking old lady came up to her and asked for whom she was picking roses, and when she answered for my mother, the kind- looking old lady asked her if she would take some roses to her house and wait till she came, and she would give her some powder to make her face sweet and pink. When the old lady came in the young girl was waiting for her. The kind-looking old lady was not a kind lady at all, but an old witch who had a spite against the princess ' mother. She now took advantage of her trust, and shut the princess up in a tower, where she cried all the time. One day the old witch had gone out. As the maiden was weeping at the window she heard a beautiful voice singing one of her favourite songs. She joined in, and the singer stopped to listen and then walked on to see where the voice came from. Seeing the lovely princess at the window, he asked her why she was there. She told him her story and how she longed to be free, and he said he was a good climber, and with his wonderful boots to aid him he could climb the wall. Up he got in a minute, and, taking the lovely princess in his arms, he climbed down again and ran swiftly to the palace. Her mother was so glad to see her that she promised the princess for a wife, and they were married and lived happily ever after. Edith Lay ton, Form II. THE SNOW MAN. One day last wyk Ray and Walter made a snow man in the back yard. When it was finisht they went to the house and tolde thare mother that thare was a poor man out in the back yared. Oh, poor feloe, bring him in, she sed, as she ran to the windoe. Ray and Walter laft til theyr sids ware sore when theyr mother saw hoo it was. Herbert Moody, aged 7 years, Form I. 61 Havergal College Magazine THE DOLLS ' TEA PARTY. Form I. had a dolls ' tea party one Friday afternoon in January. They all brought dolls or Teddy bears. The day was a cold one, so all the guests were warmly dressed by their parents. They took oft their wraps in Form I. Room, and the dolls were much admired. Jane, a doll half as big as her mother, was elegantly dressed in a red velvet coat and hood and a white dress, and all said she was the belle of the party, though many others were very pretty, too. The gentlemen were represented by John Chinaman, Eric Bell, a Teddy bear, and Jim Hop-o-my-thumb. Jim amused the guests by standing on his head and tumbling over. The girls ' sitting-room was lent for the reception, and as the guests arrived they were seated at Kindergarten tables, which were loaded with candies, cake, biscuits and fruit. Then Eric, the Teddy bear, said : Every one please hear me — Now, listen to what I say — No lessons until Monday, A jolly good time to-day : Biscuits and cake and candy, Each child shall have a large piece ; Let ' s place our chairs quite handy, Let ' s always remember ' please ' . And then the fun began. How the hostesses did enjoy admir- ing their guests as the hosts passed around the cake! Dorothy ' s tiny white teeth looked so pretty, and Marjorie held her biscuit so cleverly in her little hand. John Chinaman ate so much that his head shot up in the air and showed a big fan below. When the bell rang the guests departed, very pleased with their afternoon. Party described by Airdrie Bell and Eric Severin. Form I. SLEEPY LAND Oh, tell me what is behind the moon, Behind that globe of light? There ' s a beautiful land, with a merry band Of fairies, happy and bright. The name of that land is Sleepy Land, Where all little children go ; And together they ' re flocked and to sleep they ' re rocked, With a motion soft and slow. Come, Baby dear, and we ' ll wander off, Strolling hand in hand ; And we ' ll go away at the close of day To that beautiful Sleepy Land. Jocelyn Allan, Upper IV. 62 Havergal College Magazine HALLEYS COMET. Once upon a time, many years ago, a huge old giant was sitting on a hill. He had had heaps of power given him by the fairy Goodness, provided he used it well, and as a sign of this, she had given him a beautiful tail of a white, filmy material. But now, the giant had used his power to dry up a great and mighty river which flowed through the land; but this was not all. He had thoughtlessly turned some people who bothered him into mosqui- toes, and, as there was no water, this caused a great deal of suffer- ing both to people and animals. And now he was to meet Goodness on the hill and to learn his fate. Suddenly a white light covered the hill, and the giant saw Goodness before him. I have decided your fate, said she. Your beautiful tail is to be taken away and you are to be changed into a lifeless thing, to float through the sky. Oh! Oh! cried the giant. I can ' t bear it! Oh, beautiful fairy, can ' t you leave me my lovely tail? Angry as she was, Goodness could not break the giant ' s heart, so she said: Very well; though you don ' t deserve it, you may keep your tail. But now you must be changed into a comet. So saying, she waved her wand over him, repeating the words: Flick! Flop! Hoop! La! He hon! As she spoke, the huge figure was transformed into a lifeless comet to float above the world, until one day a man called Halley, looking through a tele- scope, discovered it. It now appears every 75 years, and no one ever thinks it is the remains of a wicked giant. Mary Estlin, Form IV. Lower. LA SALLE DE CLASSE. Voici la salle de classe de la quatrieme Classe B. La chambre est grande ; a gauche il y a deux fenetres, a droite il y a une porte. Entre les fenetres et la porte il y a 15 pupitres. A chaque pupitre une petite fille est assise, quelques enfants sont petites, les autres sont grandes, tontes sont jolies. Nous sommes des excellentes enfants mais quelquefois nos oreillers de plumes sont si moux que nous nous levons tard, et nous arrivons tard a l ' ecole. Alors notre institutrice n ' est pas contente avec nous et nous sommes obligees a rester apres l ' heure de l ' ecole pour reciter nos lecons. Nons aimons les jeux et la gymnase, nous jouons le basket- ball, la balle et le hockey. Nous jouons aussi le piano, mais nous ne jouons pas la flute ni la harpe. Elsie Scrimes, Form IV. Lower. 63 Havergal College Magazine PUSSY 1. There was a little pussy, It ' s coat was soft as silk, It never caught a mousey, Nor drank a drop of milk. 2.

Tigers are useful for eating men. Jupiter, Mars and the United States are the largest planets. (One would think they might be content with the North Pole. — Ed.) It is rumoured that one of our boarders was the first to sight Halley ' s comet with the naked eye. Early in April, having set an alarm clock to arouse her, she viewed the heavenly body from a west window. We understand that, even at the rate of 150,000 miles per minute, it had rather a rush to get back to its eastern position at the time predicted . (Bravo, Havergal! beat the Free Press by a month! — Ed.) Birds change countries in winter, and fly to wormer countries. (Very sensible of them, too. — Ed.) The Ganges is a cafe on Garry Street. (Perchance she meant the Grange. — Ed.) Queen Mary married a Spinach King. (We should have thought her more carnivorous than vegetarian. — Ed.) A woma n is as good as a man. (No doubt Mrs. Pankhurst would prefer this rendering to the original, A miss is as good as a mile. — Ed.) Extract from history lesson: — He steered the ship of state through troublous times. Reproduction: — When he came over to Canada, he guided the Roval Vessel. Top Flats. We have heard of the Top Flattites absent-mindedly undressing at 6 p.m. instead of getting ready for tea, but we cannot recall an instance of one getting up at 6 a.m. and dressing for breakfast. A cure for a burn is to apply soap and bread to it, or butter will do. (Why not try bread and butter? — Ed.) A good plan to avoid losing one ' s handkerchiefs at the laundry is to sew them together. (Why not leave the spool of thread attached, and draw them home when wanted?- -Ed.) 66 Havergal College Magazine PERSONALS. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel. Shakespeare. Congratulations to Miss Cornell, who was married on June 22nd to Mr. J. Ruby, of Smith ' s Falls. Also to Miss Huston, who is now Mrs. Eraser, living at Pilot Mound. Mrs. Harris, whom we know beter as Agnes McLeod, paid us a visit on her way to China, the scene of her husband ' s mission- ary work; a letter, assuring us of her safe arrival, is inserted else- where. We said goodbye to Miss Adams with mingled feelings, of regret for her departure after six years in the College, and heartiest good wishes for her happiness in her married life. We welcomed, in September, Mrs. Campbell, from Stonewall, and Miss Lewis, from England ; and later, Miss Gourley, from the East, and Miss Foster-Palmer, from England, as members of the Staff. Miss Preston is in Los Angeles, studying osteopathy, and occasionally excites our envy by her descriptions of perpetual summer, when we are enjoying (?) 40 degrees below. Miss Macdonald has also wintered in the South with her mother and sister. We are all looking forward to a visit from our former school- mother, Mrs. Bray field, who has promised to come and see us in May. W 7 e had a visit during the year from Jessie Cousins, looking as merry as ever. Lucy Hanna was also in the city about the same time, and wished to be remembered to all the old girls. Dulcie Power sometimes writes from Thrums, B.C. We hope she is keeping up her music ; she used to delight us in the old days. Doris Baker and Jessie Jardine came out at the ball given by Sir Daniel and Lady MacMillan, in honour of Their Excellencies, Earl and Countess Grey. Dorothy Wilson ' s amusingly illustrated letters are in great demand ; we never see one without hoping that she still keeps up her painting and drawing. Edna Henderson is at Queen ' s College, Kingston, where we hear she is working hard, yet finding time to do wonderful things 67 Havergal College Magazine at sport. She paid us a visit in April, when she stayed for a few days with Gwen Inman, another old girl. and a frequent visitor. We had very interesting visits from Wenona Marlatt and Annie Kelly ; the latter was the first boarder at Havergal. They both told us many amusing stories of early vicissitudes. They expressed their admiration of the two wings, both new since their day. A well-known post-mark from the Riding Mountain District is sometimes seen when Bessie Parker writes one of her chatty letters. We very much regret that Ainslie Dagg, through ill-health, has been obliged to drop her second part Matriculation subjects. We hope she will try again, when she feels better. Margaret Nesbitt has temporarily deserted the mercurial Third Form, to pay a visit to England. Among those who visited the School this year were Mrs. Peel, Mrs. Longbottom and her little daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Farmer, Mrs. Hall and two daughters, Mrs. Fear, Miss Maynard, of West- field College, England, and her sister, Miss Ciabrielle Maynard. 68 Havergal College Magazine HAVERGAL DIRECTORY STAFF— Miss M.

IF YOU saw a row of apples, every one differing in size, ripeness, and color, and all for sale at the same price, wouldn ' t you choose the best? Why not do the same thing when you buy fire insurance? The cost of insurance is substantially the same in all companies, but what you get for your money varies as much as the apples in this row. Choose the Hartford Fire Insurance Company. For 100 years it has paid every honest loss, big and little. Its reputation is unexcelled. It is the best fire insurance apple of them all, and its policies cost no more than those of infenor quality. Why not use the same good judgment in buying insurance that you do in buying goods for your store, clothes for your family, or even in such a trivial matter as buying apples from the fru it- stand ? And the next time you insure, Insure in the Hartford Telephone 842, or call at W. W. SCRIM ES, Insurance Agency, Bank of Toronto Block, Main Street, Winnipeg, Man.
