Liz-Ann last seen burdned with snaps, MARCH: Tired muscles drag into class after Satur- day's Kenora trip. Marj gets clubbed - Chm.J Exams begin again. Class motto: Fail now, avoid the June rush. APRIL: End of holidays, beginning of depression Cover marksb. Joan comes back singing 'iAnybody Here Want Kelly? Mad rush over year book - including class notes! if LEST WE REMEMBER All is quiet on the first floor of the Red House, -it's 14 minutes after seven. Suddenly an un- earthly clanging breaks the silence. It's not a threshing machine,-it's only the bell. At 7.20 silence reigns again. Well, well, Carolyn's still in bed. Thank good- ness she doesn't make a practice of getting up an hour too early every morning. We hope she'll soon be able to read the clock right. Maureen is the early bird in the yellow room. She is usually able to drag Joan L. out of bed in time for breakfast. Pat should lend Ina and Cathy H. a little of her energy so they could make it to breakfast fully dressed. Whom have we forgotten? Oh yes, Cathy A. and Joan R. are still sleeping. They sleep through anything, even when the washroom window blows open and all the bottles Csham- poo, etc.D crash into the basin. Even though it's midnight Carolyn staggers up and begins to clean up the mess. We have troubles in the daytime too. What's the big line-up in front of the bathroom? Is there a dance to-night? Oh, no, it's only Ina having another bath! Any stranger visiting the Red House would certainly think that it's haunted. Those weird cackles don't belong to Frankinstein! He has nothing on Cathy H's laugh Cif that's what you call itJ. Pat provides the excitement for the first floor. If she's not staging a boxing match, or frighten- ing us under the beds, she's crashing through some window. Maureen comes bounding ing Look what I bought, girls! She displays another new dress which leaves the rest of us green with envy. So the next Saturday we dash out on a shopping spree, but end up buying a bottle of shampoo. While Joan R. and Cathy A. are arguing whether Tony Martin or Gene Kelly should be the honored pin-up above the dresser we hear the strains of The Stars Will Remembern and Ina and Joan L. glide by perfectly oblivious to the riotous surroundings until they trip over Pat's bicycle pump and are jerked to reality. We almost forgot, but not quite, another in- dividual, and that's June Baker. June is a resi- dent of the second floor, but since the Twelves have omitted her, she shall have the honor of being mentioned by those below. Anything we have forgotten in this summary will probably be written in our epitaph. So now that we have remembered it all, let's try to forget it. ir RED HOUSE NOTES TOP FLOOR We were the fortunate six, we occupied the top floor of the Red House. Sometimes it meant two bits for a good night's sleep. We'll remember Beth as Petunia busy with her little set to's. Our future school-marm has her maternal instincts well in hand. Beth has tried hard to make us all of one mind. Beth can go on t'Till The End of Time. Not to be forgotten are Nancy's symphonies and her rogue's gallery. Her most constant com- plaint is, you kids, I've lost three cents! We will always remember Nancy's explanations of her explorations. Our theme song for Nancy is, YOu're Irish and You're Beautiful. Then there's our girl Margie. Lately she has taken to studying the laws of our fair land. We'll remember the cheerful way she acknowl- edged the ringing of the bell in the morning. We won't forget her generous contributions of jewellery. Noted for Dancing In The Dark. June, Marg's room-mate, is the girl with the blue eyes and curly black hairg the 'tlrish Type someone once said. She is all of that. This beauty with brains was also our Head Girl. She has had a tough job, in boarding as she was. and could be seen any Monday morning, at ten to nine, rushing upstairs with her suitcase. Our June Bug aspires to be a buyer, and she is cer- tain to be a success. Then there was Phyl, the cheesed kid of the Red House. For the past year her future has been a question mark. We'll never forget her mania for being put off. In twenty years she'll still be doing it all for Sentimental Reasons. Barb was to Phyl as a St. Bernard is to a lost mountain climber. Will remember Barb's radio programmes, her passion for chocolates and for being the most studious one of us all. One could have seen her any evening about four, being propelled down the street by Margie and Phyl. We always hoped that Barb. would learn to walk. Page Fifteen

YORK HALL During the past ten months York Hall has proudly participated in all school activities. From the beginning of the year the girls have done their best and happy results have come of it. In the inter-house field day, the girls won both the senior and junior cups. In inter-house basketball, York Hall placed second after a long struggle. The basketball team should be congratulated on their everlast- ing hard work. ln the inter-house bowling York came out on top. In the inter-house dramatic plays a great deal of work by the girls, especially Diane Johnson, who took her part in three days' notice, We were fortunate in this to have the help of Miss Dickson and Miss Shepley. As to the house points, thanks to all the girls and also our two little boys for trying so hard. As prefect of York Hall I would like to thank the girls for their wholehearted co-operation. especially Marge Baker, our sports-captain, Diane Armstrong, our secretary and Linda Wright, our treasurer. The year has been very eventful and I have been proud to be prefect of York Hall during 1947-48. LORNA MCCARTHY. Page Seventeen
