V. T H 2--.fl!,Q 5 Emswsyki - MALVERN HOME AND SCHOOL CLUB OOKING back over the past year's work, the president and officers of the Malvern Home and School Club feel that they have success- fully completed many of their undertakings but have much to accomplish in the coming year. One of our greatest problems is keep- ing alive the interest the parents have felt in their child's life during the public school period. A great many mothers and fathers feel that when their children enter the secondary school that they are indeed growing up and do not need the same sympathetic understanding as formerly in their school life.. The Home and School Club offers the parents an opportunity of taking an interest not only in the academic, but also in the athletic and social life which is so much a part of the High School student's education. We gave our annual graduates dance on the night of Commence- ment: over three hundred students were invited, and we are sure that they will carry away with them very happy memories of Malvern. We are planning a banquet for the winning rugby teams on March 18th. A S500 bond was purchased last spring and the interest on it, amounting to 315, was presented to Miss Madge Price. the first winner of the Quarter Century Scholarship. Next Commencement, the inter- est will S25. and with the aid of the parents we soon hope to reach our objective of S50 each year. We are planning the purchase of another S100 bond. With the permission of Mrs. Rogers we have called the Mathematical award the William Henry Rogers Medal, and it, with the Dr. Lingwood Latin Medal, was given at Commencement. We also gave silver and bronze medals for oratory to both girls and boys. The Programme Committee have arranged very interesting meet- ings and can ask outstanding speakers to address our club if we can be assured of a sufficiently large audience to make it worth their while to come to us. A by-law was passed by the Ontario Federation of Home and School Clubs that every club to be in good standing must pay 10c per member to the Federation. This money will be used for the support of the central office and for extension work in rural districts where funds are low. To meet this, our club found it necessary to increase their fee to 35c. We ask for the coming year a more active co-operation and in- terest from all the parents in our various activities. --EDNA N. VVALKINSHAW, President. H01

1 v THE JILSEA7 if Y' img Die jungen Leute hatten einen Glaubiger, namens Gibson, der sich fur einen Gentlemen hielt. ob er gleich nur ein gemeiner, aber reicher Schneider war. Dieser will die Jungen in Schuldgefangnis setzen und es gibt eine komische Mannjagd. Unterdessen wird Lothair Bibliothekar bei Harry's Onkel. Lothair und Harry fingen an der Cousine und ihrer Freundin den Hof zu machen. Bald fand eine komisehe Unordnung statt, die nur ein Ende nahm, nachdem die ganze Sache ins Reine gebracht wurde. Dann gibt es zwei Verlobungen, Harry mit der Freundin, Lothair mit der Tochter des besten Freundes seines Onkels. Bald darauf folgten zwei Hochzeiten. Die Beiden Onkel waren ganz zufrieden und bezahlten die Rechnungen. Die ,iungen Ehepaare 1ebten gliicklieh immer her. Es wiirde mir ein wahres Vergnugen gewahren, einen anderen Brief von dir zu bekommen. Griisse mir deine Eltern. Dein treuer, S. SHANKMAN. A FLIGHT OF FANCY The far-off sound of a moving train Comes to me weirdly through the rain, Now strong and full. Then faint and dull: And its whistle shrieks an eerie song As the panting engine forges along. And. as I listen, I'm on that train Rushing along with it through the rain Into the sunlight, Golden and brightg Going to lands that I'ye longed to see: To distant climes where I've pined to be. Past lofty mountains, cloaked in snowy Down to the verdant vales belowg By lake and sea, O'er marsh and leag Through bustling cities, by silent hills, 'Mid waving grain, and whirling mills. The dream fades quickly into the gloom Of a dreary winter's afternoon, And far away To my dismay, Sounds the scornful hoot of the dashing train, And I'm left to my hopes and wishes again. -MADGE PRICE.
