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

(Betty Machaffif, Form V. Upper.) BASKETBALL Throughout the season much enthusiasm was shown in the games, and the competition for the cup presented by the Very Rev. 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
