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
