HAVERGAL COLLEGE MAGAZINE 15 be particularly useful and may, in the future, considerably in- crease the circulation of the Magazine. Last year a prize was offered to the Form sending in to the Magazine the largest number of accepted contributions, and one to the Form selling most copies. They were gained by the Upper Fifth and Sixth Forms respectively. These prizes are not being offered this year because many of the contributions have been written in the course of school work without any thought of the Magazine, and because we feel sure that no encouragement to sell copies is needed when the profits are to be given to the Funds of the Red Cross Society. We gratefully acknowledge the following gifts: A beautiful photograph of the Stratford-Upon-Avon Memorial Theatre, given by Mr. Flower, The Gentle Heritage, and four copies of My Sunday Book (for which the Junior Boarders are most grate- ful), given by Mrs. Matheson, and Rewards and Fairies, by Cecily Mortlock. The Librarian is very glad to discover an unwritten law that a Boarder, on leaving, shall leave behind a book to keep her memory green. Btetrtfmtton of $rt?e£ The Annual Prize-Giving took place on the evening of Friday, 19th April, 1915. After the opening exercises, and a very inter- esting speech from His Grace the Archbishop, the Upper School Singing Class sang A May Morning and Greeting. Follow- ing on Miss Jones ' Report and the Distribution of Prizes, Bishop Grisdale spoke a few encouraging words. A new feature of the Prize-Giving was the Good Fellowship Prize — awarded partly by a school vote, and gained by Thelma Duncan. FORM AND SUBJECT PRIZES N.B.

14 HAVERGAL COLLEGE MAGAZINE Cbitortal J2otes(. The eighth number of the Havergal Magazine is inevitably a war number. The great struggle, which is convulsing Europe and has the whole civilized world in its grip, affects even so small an undertaking as a School Magazine. Yet, since this Magazine records the doings of a year, nine months of which have been lived in the shadow of great and terrible events, reflections of them must be found within its pages. The world ' s outlook has been changed, a new strain has entered into the thoughts of men, and even our school life, far away as it is from the storm-centre, is affected by it. These nine dark months have done much for us and now there is something to show for the spare time and pocket- money that we frittered away in the past. There have been fewer excitements and events in the school year than there usually are. A Friday Knitting Circle was more attractive than a Form Party, and even a Masquerade seemed a little unlawful. So readers may look in vain for School Enter- tainments in this year ' s Magazine; the Chronicle, too, is briefer since the routine has been less unbroken. On the other hand, the year has been very busy and interesting in another way. As the result of knitting done at the Friday Circle and at odd moments snatched during the school day by all — from the Prin- cipal down to the maids — the following articles have been sent from Havergal to the Red Cross Society up till 1st May, 1915: 8 flannel shirts 78 pairs wristlets 48 pairs socks 5 pairs knee-caps 82 scarfs 4 belts 32 helmets 8 face cloths 8 pairs mitts 60 bandages The Forms have also contributed steadily out of their pocket money month by month to the City ' s Patriotic Fund. At Christmas time an appeal for books for the boys of the Strathcona School produced one hundred and seventy; and Norah Jardine ' s eloquent plea for the Christmas Tree at the Children ' s Aid Shelter, which was suffering from the economies induced by the War, was answered with far more dolls, toys and games than she had hoped for. At the end of the Easter term a small contribution was sent to the Maxine Elliott Barge Fund. Meanwhile, the School has worked as usual for the Hay River Mission and the Zenana Guild, but details of this will be found in another column. It gives us great pleasure to make an innovation in the Maga- zine and to give a place to the Report of the Havergal Alumnae Association and a directory of its members. We are very glad that such a society has been formed and that by holding many of their meetings here the members keep in close touch with the present generation at Havergal. We feel that the Directory will
