THE .llI'SE , sg ii i .,- - - l. Eiga efiissa I' lil il? l ' f ' f ' A ., -vi il - - i 4 .. SOCIAL O far this year we have had three tea dances at the school. The first one was under the auspices of the Girls' Athletic Society and was held in December. The Literary Society sponsored the next which was held in the middle of January. The Muse was re- sponsible for the third one which took place near the end of February. They were all fairly well attended and I am sure everyone who was there had a good time. Jack Cooke's orchestra was in attendance at all the tea dances. The annual ex-pupils dance was held this year on February the twelfth. There was quite a large crowd present and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. A coloured spotlight playing on the dancer as they swayed to the rhythm of Harry Bedlington's Savarin orchestra completed a very pretty picture. In the cafeteria which was prettily decorated with red and white streamers, as was the auditorium. a delightful supper was served. The graduates dance which is given each year by the ladies of the Home and School Club to the fourth and fifth forms of the pre- vious year was certainly a success. Everybody who could possibly come did and those who failed to attend missed a wonderful evening. The Blue Rhythm Boys supplied the music and did it very well. I am sure that I will be seconded by everyone who was present as I now move a vote of thanks to the ladies of the Malvern Home and School Club for the delightful evening which was made possible for so many ot' us by their unfailing kindness. Commencement was held on an afternoon about the middle of November. Mr. Lehmann delivered a speech telling of the athletic and academic honours by our students in the past years. Mr. Hilton, Mr. Loftus Reid. and Mr. Brandon each made a few remarks which -.vcre followed by the presentation ot' diplomas, prizes, and athletic awards. Edgar Guest then told us in his own inimitable way of rugby, past and present. The bust of Mr. Lehmann which Cleeve Horne modelled last year was formally presented to the school. Our valedictorian this year was Reginald Watters and his subject was My live years at Malvern . -Doam LEARIE. NNI

THE .11 USE p MAIDS OF MALVERN HIS year the Maids of Malvern activities began with a Big and, Little Sister Party. The new cabinet was introduced by the former president. Ruth Cunningham. A welcome was extended to all. during which the club's activities and purpose were explained, and the new motto. Come, Enter In, the Gate Is Open Wide, was given as the theme for this year. After theprogramme, the Big Sisters put their Little Sisters through an initiation and all were rewarded with refreshments in the cafeteria. The party was happily concluded with dancing. The following two weeks were devoted to the membership cam- paign which resulted in two hundred and fifty girls joining the Maids of Malvern. The annual hike was held in October and took the form of a hare and hound chase. The girls were divided into groups of countries with a leader for each. After supper two of the groups put on a play and a Charade around the camp fire which were greatly enjoyed by the girls. Everyone took part in the candle-lighting ceremony about the large tire. The president lit her candle by the tire and passed on the light to each leader as a symbol of the ideals and purpose of the club. The leaders then lit the candles of the mem- bers, and singing FOLLOW the GLEAM they wound in and out the trees in a single great circle. The hike was closed with TAPS, and a tired yet happy band of girls turned homeward. Near the end of October a Take a Chance meeting was held for the purpose of signing up for interest groups. The group leaders each explained her group and the stunt group favoured us with a charade. In November we held a Deportment Meeting at which a debate, Resolved that Pupils were of Better Deportment in the Past than in the Present. was successfully carried on by Frankie McClung, Eileen Berril, and Edith Martin, Vera Whittell. A satire on deportment was given by the stunt group. Club pins were presented to Una Boyd, lA, and Ruth Gordon, IH. for 'having highest percentage in membership campaign. At the close of the meeting we gave out dolls to be dressed by the girls and used for Christmas stockings. On December the eleventh a Tea Dance was held in aid of relief work. Due to the hearty response of the school we succeeded in rais- ing forty dollars for social service at Christmas and throughout the winter. Our Christmas meeting in December took place in the darkened auditorium, lighted only by wall lights and candles. A play, The Christmas Guest was prettily acted by the stunt group. The Glee Vlub sang a group of four carols. one of them French, which delighted the girls. Miss Burton, general-secretary of the Y.W.C.A. gave us an in'eresting account of Christmas in other lands, and brought the meeting to a close with a Vesper Service. The girls were given candy canes upon leaving. , fnilll
