THE SOLDIERS' OVERSEAS COMMITTEE MARIAN ALFORD GRADE XIII This committee was formed early in the fall for the purpose of sending boxes to boys serving overseas who at one time attended this school. The organization was first suggested by Miss M. E. Wales of the Teaching Staff and is being enthusiastically endorsed by the entire school. A committee of six was elected: Miss Wales, Miss Bennett and Mr. Franklin of the Staff and Marian Alford CCollegiate representativej Betty Harris fComm. Rep.j and Homer Grainger CVocational Representativej. Each week under their supervision, ably assisted by volunteer workers, boxes have been packed by various forms in the school, By February 20, thirty- three boxes had been sent, each containing a wide variety of articles-everything from razor blades and woollen goods to cigarettes and chocolate bars. Students and teachers are busily knitting up the wool they get from the Committee and to date 46 pairs socks, 16 scarves, 3 sweaters, 4 helmets, 3 pairs mitts, 14 pairs wristlets and 1 pair of gloves, among other articles have been turned in. This wool is paid for by donations from the Staff and Students of the school. Each form contributes in addition to its own box which is sent to any ex-student Overseas whom they choose. The enthusiastic and grateful response of the recipients has been a source of satisfaction to the committee and has provided them with the incentive to carry on their good work. YVe hope this Committee will be a fixture in the school for the duration of the War. SKETCH CLUB This year, for the first time, a Sketch Club was organized in the school. With the able assistance of Miss Walker, the club progressed very successfully. In the fall the group sketch- ed out-of-doors, and every member is looking forward to the same opportunity this spring. During the year the club was favoured with addresses, given by two well-known local artists -Miss Dorothea Sweezey and Mr. T. C. Cum- mings. Both offered many helpful suggestions to the students, and created a really enthusiastic interest in art. For many years the students have expressed the desire for such an organization. The Sketch Club's initial year was such a success that there is no doubt but that it will be continued in the future.
