VOX FLUMINIS 29 So far we have played only two games, both with St. lVIary's Academy. The first was at Riverbend. The scores were,-first team 12, 14 ffor Riverbendj, and second team 12, 2 ffor St. Mary'sJ. The second was played at St. Mary's Acade-my. The scores were,-iirst team 18, 14 ffor St. Mary'sJ, and second team 18, 12 Calso in favor of St. Mary'sJ. A We enjoyed both games very much. We were not always vic- torious but the spirit of the games made them enjoyable. We are looking forward to two games with Ruperts Land, some house games, and also one with the Riverbend Staff. Next year some- one will tell you about the-m, and I am sure they will be remembered with as much pleasure as they are being anticipated. We are all very grateful to Miss Rutherford, who gave her time and energy so gene-rously and graciously for the good of the teams. We deeply regret that she will not be with us next year.

And what was new? Well, nearly everything,-new faces in the kindergarten and indeed in every grade,-new dances,-new music,-new exercises Cone a very clever inspiration from the Olympic gamesl, new apparatus fa spring-board and parallel bars acquired this yearj ,-and newest of all new things, the smart-looking pleated gym shorts that arrived just in time to be worn at the display. The programme, too long unfortunately, to be included here, consisted of exercises and dancing by all grades, a play by Grade' VI, and apparatus work by the Junior and Senior groups. There was evidenced throughout not only individual achievement but splendid co-operation and team-work in every grade. The last number, a grand march by Grades VII to XII, brought much applause as the girls formed the letters R. S. and the river which make up the Riverbend crest. Then came the final square formation around the gymnasium. A Miss Rutherford was presented with a bouquet of spring flow- ers,-God Save the King was sung, and the march out concluded another very successful Gym Display at Riverbend School.

The club was successfully formed under the direction of Miss Rutherford, who was later appointed Honorary President. Dorothy Forsyth was elected President, with Maurine Stuart as Business Manager. The tournament of Doubles Was arranged for February 18th. There were thirty entries in the tournament, mostly from Grades IX, X, XI and XII. The four contestants in the final round were Maurine Stuart and Dorothy Forsyth CYork Hallj against Betty Newcombe and Isobel Hutchison fGarry Hallj. The final game was exciting and well played, each team doing its best. After a very close game the winners were Betty Nevvcombe and Isobel Hutchison.
