PARTIES Halloween Party.-The first party at Riverbend was given on Octo- ber 31. It was a Hallowe'en party so everyone came in costume. As the girls stood about, everyone tense with excitement and expectation, there was a sound of footsteps, and all eyes turned to the stairway. A new boarder wearing her Riverbend tunic was coming down, and with her several other strangers. How excited everyone was, and then we were introduced to Jemima Jones QMiss F osterj, her Mother CMiss Fordj, her Father fMiss Mackerethj, and a young admirer QMiss Fairbairnj The girls followed their new acquaintances into the dining-room, where grinning Jack-o-Lanterns gave a weird Hallowe'en feeling. The table was prettily decorated with orange and black sitreamers, and appro- priate place cards and favors. After a memorable chicken dinner, the girls left the dining-room, and the costumes were displayed in a parade. Then Jemima Jones presented the prizes,-one to a very stout fairy-like person fDot McGavinj, and another to a little black cat QElsa Lehmannj. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, and at 10.30 the girls unwillingly said goodnight. All agreed that our first party had been a great success. -Jean Robertson. VALENTINE'S PARTY i Grades vn., vm. and IX., emeffaihed Grades x., XI. and XII., at a Valentine's party in February. Many of the guests came dressed as children in huge hairbows and with lollypops.

GAME, FEBRUARY 26 One of the most exciting and amusing games played so far in the inter-class basketball games was played today between Grades XI. and X., this being the final game between those two classes. At the end of the second period the score was 16-6 in X's favour. The beginning of the third period was very amusing, for the ball seemed to pass back and forth across the floor, going out nearly every five seconds. This continued to the end. Grade IX.
