Havergal College Magazine visitors found our snow-walls, from which it was impossible to fence 7 and a more Arctic temperature than that to which they had been used in their closed rink, put them at a decided disadvan- tage. Margaret McNab succeeded in putting in a goal for Haver- gal during the first minute of play, and Elsie Scrimes netted four more before half-time. The second half was much more even, St. John ' s attacking more vigorously and shooting one goal, while Havergal did not score again. After the match the teams discussed the match and afternoon tea together very amicably. March 11th — Havergal vs. St. Joints Ladies ' . — The return match was played on the splendid covered-in rink at St. John ' s Col- lege, and resulted in another victory for Havergal. On this occa- sion the game proved very exciting, as the teams were much more evenly matched and the play much (pucker. Elsie Scrimes was unfortunate in losing her skate, but Gladys Phinney moved up as rover, played a splendid game, and scored the only goal of the afternoon. Margaret McNab again distinguished herself, while iSTellie Snowden and Antoinette Sapte played up well to the end. Gladys McDougall was sure as coverpoint, and Bertha Logan in goal stopped several hot shots. After the game Miss Manwaring, the St. John ' s College can- tain, invited the team into the ladies ' parlor, where the visitors were entertained right royally to afternoon tea. WALKING CLUB The Walking Club is formed to enable girls who like long walks to indulge in that most enjoyable form of exercise. On Fri- day afternoons in the spring and fall the Club meets, and, under the guidance of Miss Holditch, outings are taken to parks and pleasant spots in the vicinity of the city. The Weather Clerk was most unkind to the Club last fall, and heavy rains frequently oc- curring on Fridays stopped the energetic ones. Perhaps the most enjoyable walk was that around Kildonan when we visited the old Presbyterian church there, were rowed across the ferry on the Red River, and raced along the Elmwood Road to catch the last car which would bring us back in time for tea. I must not forget to mention the u j: aper chase Avhich ended the walks of last spring. Dorothy Colcleugh and Helen Lethbridge proved most elusive hares and led the hounds over brooks, through ponds and scrub, down blind tracks where the scent was lost, and finally, evading all pur- suers, reached home long before the hounds. Already there are rumors that another paper chase will be organized by the Walking Club. 64

Feb. 11th — Mistresses vs. Boarders. — This match always causes great excitement, and this year was no exception. The Mis- tresses ' team suffered somewhat from want of practice and cer- tainly from loss of skates. However, Miss Hewton and Miss Thompson put up a vigorous defence, while Miss Shewell and Miss Holditch each shot a goal. The match was a drawn one — 2 goals all. March 5th — Havergal vs. St. Johns College Ladies ' Team. — This match was very eagerly anticipated and much enjoyed. The 63

Havergal College Magazine SNOWSHOEING Sxowsiioees ' Song. To the tune of Bonnie Dundee ' There are games for the warm clays and sports for the cold, The seasons roll on and their treasures unfold ; But the best of all fun is a tramp on the snow With the frost all around us, above and below. Chorus — Then get on your snowshoes and hunt up your mitts, And pull on a sweater — whichever one fits ; Hie off to the open and let us away, For a tramp in the evening will brook no delay. Now we have arrived at the edge of the Park, The car stops and out we all get in the dark ; We tie on our snowshoes as fast as we can — Old-timers the novices ' ankles do span. Then we follow the leader along the white trail ; With singing and laughter the woods we assail. We ask of the night, What became of the monk ? And the echoes reply, Ask the elephant ' s trunk ! Now weary, yet mirthful, we reach the school gate. There are buns and hot cocoa because we are late. What joy to our hearts such a snowshoe tramp brings ! — And we nothing more know till the rising-bell rings ! (Written by Miss Shewell to commemorate the tramp on February 18th to Elm Park.) There have been several snowshoe parties this year, as the snow has been good, the weather propitious, and the staff, several of them from England, have taken to the sport with avidity. On Saturday, January 18th, Miss Norrington conducted a small and select party of four to Elm Park and up the river to the Canoe Club. You have no idea what a good tramping song the Havergal school-song Alta Petens makes. Try it and see. February 29th Miss Springate conducted a jolly tramp up the Red River, where the steep banks and some disused hatbox lids converted the expedition automatically into a tobogganing party,, which was much enjoyed. On February 18th Miss Norrington and Miss ITolditch es- corted a large party for an evening tramp through Elm Park. This tramp was especially enjoyable, as Miss Jones came with us, and 65
