WELCOME AND FAREWELL MISS Duncan, girls ' physical education in¬ structress, is at McGill University where she is taking a special course in physical educa¬ tion. We hope that she is enjoying herself on her year ' s leave-of-absence. Miss Eleanor Suttie who came from Lord Roberts to take the place of Miss Duncan has done an exceptionally fine job. Her eager enthusiasm and interest have done much to further girls ' sports in the school. After a two-year sojourn from Kelvin, the return of Dr. Robinson, who received a Ph.D. degree at the University of Minnesota, is of particular interest to older Kelvin students. Greetings are sent to Miss Johnson of the home economics department, who, we may be sure, is enjoying herself on a year ' s vaca¬ tion. Miss Johnson has spent the winter in Florida, and we shall be disappointed if she does not return home sporting a dark tan. The vacancy left by Miss Ross who is also on leave for a year has been ably filled by Miss Martin who has come to us from the West Kildonan Collegiate. Miss Martin, is rapidly becoming very popular among Kelvin students. A newcomer to Kelvin is Miss Forsyth who came from King Edward School. Miss Forsyth is in the home economics department where she is teaching the intricacies of sewing to all her future seamstresses. Gordon Bell ' s loss was Kelvin ' s gain when Mr. Fyles came to take the place of Mr. Max¬ well, our former Vice-Principal who retired last year. Mr. Fyles ' pleasant personality and his keen interest in athletics have won for him a secure place in the hearts of all Kel- vinites. We are sorry to have lost the guidance and friendship of Mr. Wellwood who has left Kel¬ vin to take the principalship of Queenston School. To Mr. Wellwood go our best wishes for happiness and success in his new position. Students of Robert H. Smith will remember Mr. Vasey who is now teaching history and geography here. We hope that he will enjoy life at Kelvin, and to him, we extend our warmest welcome. Congratulations are extended to Miss Samuel who has been promoted to the posi¬ tion of Vice-Principal of Machray School. Best wishes for the future, Miss Samuel! Miss Gwynne came to Kelvin this year as secretary to Dr. Willoughby and Mr. Fyles. She was at Isaac Brock last year and replaces Miss Baldwin who returned to Lord Roberts. We hope that Miss Gwynne is enjoying her work at Kelvin. 19

PROGRESSIVE STABILITY LOWER FORT GARRY, HUDSON ' S BAY COMPANY THE SCHOOL M AN ITOBA ' S story is founded on an empire of fur. An adventurous Frenchman, Groseilliers, in his search for the main source of beaver pelts, secured the support of Charles II, and in 1668 Mr. Gooseberry, as he was called by the British, sailed the Nonsuch into Hudson Bay. His success led to the establishment in 1670 of The Governor and Company of Ad¬ venturers of England trading into Hudson Bay. Through two hundred difficult years the Honourable Company helped to develop and govern much of the great West until the newly-formed Dominion of Canada took over its territorial and political rights in 1869. 21
