12 Vox Fluminis TEACHERS' NOTES THEREI once was a LITTLE lady with a great big smile, and we all know that smiles are PRICEless Cand so is Mrs. Priceb. If you smile nicely enough, you'll get a JOB IN the office Cbut we've already got onel. However, if we don't SMARTIN up you WILL SOON get tired of this jabberwacky and won't REID further. But if any- one BURNS these notes we won't CART'ER away, so keep on trying for Auld LAING Syne and perhaps some- day they will ring a BELL in your memory-of DOUGLAS fir desks, and of Mrs. MUNROE who has the key to every locker except Davey JONES! But before we conclude we must not be KO C so if you're not on the beamh BOLD as to forget Mrs. BARKER. So with a farewell flourish we will cast away our pens for another year. BOARDERS' NOTES Riverbend boarders of '42 and '43 Industriously work in perfect harmony. Vera, Marj and Lillian and June Enjoy riotous life in the bubble room. Rowena and Ellen at the end of the hall, Bounce on their beds 'till the matron's call. Evelyn, Marie, Daphne and Joan Never weary of using the phone. Diane, Joseie, Gail and Irene, But for their noise the halls are serene. On the next floor the bookworms we see, Amidst leafy trees we find Valery, Rosa and Peggy and Tinker nearby, Doris and Margie share a room high. Eileen and Kaye with dusters are busy Rubbing their mops until we are dizzy. Songs from happy Penny ring, Or.June tinkers with seeds and string. Forth from their room burst Audrey and Jean '4 Marilyn's after them--it's plain to be seen 2 and one add up to three A trio gay--Anne, Lois, Nancy. Now the air-force claims Goldie Manng Dorothy and Cecily have left our clan. '4-getting not our joys and sorrows, 3-score years, into the morrows. ' N.B. 8c J.McC. PREFECTS' NOTES Riverbend School To those who follow-on: It's always hard to say goodbye to those things that have grown dear to you. But as the best things in life en- dure, so will these remain with us. Feeling this way about our school, we write to you who are fortunate enough to remain, to those who will enter in the fall and to the six who replace us on the bench. To you will come, one day the realization of how much your school has given you. It has given friendship, happiness, a broader out- look on life and perhaps a few heart- aches. But on this foundation we must do our bit to build a better world. There are so few today who enjoy the privileges which you have known, that you should make the most of every opportunity. When your turn comes to graduate and step out into life, you will be able to spread to others the benefits provided by your school. But in order to get the most out of the years at Riverbend, you should put all you have into your work and sports. Support the school, for there is none better. For as our graduation approaches, we really appreciate Riverbend and our life here. As prefects we have had the great privilege of leading this school in all its activities and of receiving the loyalty and co-operation of the staff and yourselves. We are more than grateful for your backing. Without it our job would have been tedious and unsatisfying, but because of it our tasks have given only pleasure. So as we leave this life behind us, we look with confidence to you who follow in. Yours is a great privilege, a promising opportunity. Stick by the grey and red, for these colours will never fail you. With every good wish for the future, The Prefects, 1942-43. i X s 08

Vos: Fluminis ll STYLES OF '43 -ONE of the highlights of the school term was a Fashion Show given by the Grade XI Sewing Class. Under the direction of Miss Douglas, the girls modelled bright, corduroy suits and wool dresses matched with suitable accessories. Dickies of contrasting shades added the finishing touches to the popular shirt-waist styles. These suits and dresses were inexpensively made. In all probability, Miss Douglas may expect a large class in attendance this fall, due to the fine example shown by these girls. E.J.M., E. L.J.D. THE BEAU AND ARROW PROM ON February the twelfth, at nine- , thirty, the Riverbend Alumnae presented their annual co-ed ball. The gym was attractively decorated with red and white streamers while Danny Cupid, with his traditional bow and arrow, peeped out mischievously from various corners of the building. This year the co-ed was optional and the uniforms of His Majesty's forces mingled with the formal and informal attire of the other guests. A few dinner and coke parties were held before the dance, which added to the gaiety and excitement of all present. Our hostesses were Jean Mc- Nern, Elizabeth Irish, Jean Gardiner and Jacqueline Porteous. The clicking of the roulette-wheel and other various games of chance lured those who were fortunate enough to borrow father's pocket-book. The pleasure seekers danced to the rugged music of Herbie Brittain until the wee small hour of one o'clock. The crowd, feeling the need of a snack, dispersed to various homes and restaurants, putting the finishing touches to a very successful evening. M.L., L.I. CURRENT EVENTS OUR school days were much enlivened the last few weeks by the visits of Mrs. Owen Williams, who recently ar- rived from England. During her stay in Winnipeg she was good enough to come to Riverbend on several occasions to speak on current events. She spoke about the most important happenings of today, and impressed on us the fact that our future would depend upon the outcome of this war. In her later talks she gave us a graphic description of the change in the lives of the people of Great Britain. We appreciated her visits greatly and wish her every happiness in the future. I.R.A. 11 OUR RIVERBEND WAR EFFORT SEVERAL Tuesdays in the fall people were surprised to see Riverbend stu- dents marching down the street. These were our frequent route marches which were part of our cadets. Grades VII to XII joined the cadets and several officers from the C.W.A.C.,s came to instruct us. After Christmas we decided that we would do more to help the war effort, and our Tuesday afternoon knitting meetings began. The Red Cross sent us wool, which we knit into socks, wash-cloths, helmets and babys, sweat- ers. If stitches were dropped or girls became entangled in their wool, Miss Carter was always there to help us out. Everyone enjoyed these meetings immensely, and several bundles of knitted articles were returned to thc Red Cross. . A.K. LIBRARY NOTES THIS year has been a very profitable one for our library. With the library funds we bought several excit- ing mysteries. The shelves have been filled to capacity by generous donations of books made by Mrs. McIntyre and Miss Helen Palls. To them and many of the gifts we wish to express our thanks. It seems that the majority of girls tak- ing out books are between Grades III and VI. How about some support from the senior school?! Remember, the library is yours. So, use it! H.T. and J.P., The Librarians.
