Photo by Harold White Studio YORK HALL ALL the girls have enthusiastically cooperated in York's many activities of 1948-49, giving energy and time to make it an entirely success- ful year. Interest in sports has flourished under the encouraging management of our capable sports captain Clem McNern. The basketball players, supported by many onlookers, succeeded in winning for York the much coveted basketball cup. The excellent sportsmanship displayed by all on field day, in volley ball games and in bowling has always been typical of York girls, and I hope this splendid quality will remain with them in years to come, Everyone has been trying eagerly to gain housepoints and with such individual effort on the part of every girl York can be proud of a wholehearted attempt for the shield. Our efii- cient secretary, Diane Johnson has brought to York a reputation for prompt and faultless house point lists. A delightful Christmas hamper was pr-epared this year, containing a large assortment of food. some clothing and even several toys. The family to which it was given were thrilled with its abundance and variety, and credit for their pleasure should go to all the girls who so will- ingly contributed to it. For the unfailing support and loyal house spirit which Miss Shepley, Miss Dickson and the girls have consistently offered all year, and for the great privilege of York's prefect, I give my sincerest thanks.

'A' f'SU DDEN LY IT'S SPRING On Saturday, March 5th, the Crystal Ballroom of the Royal Alexandra hotel, was crowded with some l'50 couples dancing an evening away to the rnusic of Jack Shapira's orchestra. The girls in their colourful formals, and the Wisteria which decorated the ballroom reminded us that suddenly it's spring. The patrons and patronesses included Miss Carter, Dr. and Mrs. Mclnnes, Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Wright, Mr. and Mrs. Laing, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. Aikens, Mr. and Mrs. Stovel, Mr. and Mrs. Kerr, Mr. and and Mrs. MacAu1ay, and Miss Beverley Frost. While eavesdropping on several conversations, we found that the dance proved to be a terrific success and that a good time was had by all. - MARJORIE LUSH. uk' TH E CH RISTMAS PARTY More and more voices were audible in the school building as the time ticked on t-owards 7.30 p.m. Entertainment began with clever skits performed by grades eight, eleven, ten, nine and seven, respectively. The brief interpreta- tion of MacBeth by grade eleven students was comically acted by Marjorie Lush and Elizabeth Ann Beaton primarily. This afforded great amusement to the remainder of the school. 'I'he lights were switched offg silence swept the room. Unexpectedly the merry notes of 'tHap-py Birthday Cara Joy rang out, while an enormous candled cake was carried into our midst. Cara was certainly overcome with joy! Besides cake, cokes and doughnuts helped to satisfy our tastes. Hilarious barn dancing and then the singing of Christmas carols brought the delightful evening to a close. Page Fifteen

Photo by Harold White Studio DOUGLAS HALL VFHIS year has proved to be a very eventful one for Douglas Hall. The girls have shown great interest and support in all the various activities of the Hall. Pat Sparling has Worked very hard, coaching the girls in their sports. Early this year, we all enjoyed taking part in the Held day. Last term we succeeded in winning the volley ball cup, and this term we have had much enjoyment playing basketball with the other houses. This Christmas, as usual, Douglas sent gifts to the children at the Point Douglas Mission. Later we received a letter from their secretary, thanking us for our help. Claire Anderson, our secretary has been very efficient and deserves special credit for her weekly house-point lists. I would like to thank Mrs. Little, Miss Hall- dorson and the girls of Douglas for your co- operation and loyal help. Everyone in the house has done her best and has made me proud to be your prefect, I give my sincerest thanks for your interest and unfailing cooperation. NANCY SMITH. Page Seventeen
