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.

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
