Photo by Harold White Studio GARRY HALL IT is almost the end of another year and sum- mer holidays are not far off. We may thrill at the thought of freedom in the great outdoors but we will always look fondly upon those wonderful times we had at school. Which one of you could ever forget those completely ex- exhausting but completely marvellous basket- ball games or those tantalizing moments in volley ball when the ball barely dribbled over the net. Yes, we played our part in inter-House games and although we didn't draw the blue ribbon there, we did carry home the Junior Field Day and bowling cups, and to show that we were not solely athleitically-minded, we successfully secured first place in the housepoint race at Christmas. Then, at this same season of the year, all the girls at Garry Hall con- tributed with great enthusiasm to our annual hamper-a hamper that would have warmed the hearts of any family. But we could not have achieved this success by ourselves, We are greatly indebted to our teachers, Mrs. Price, Mrs. McEwen, and Miss Arnold for their understanding and helping hand through all the year, to Betty Anne Run- ner, our sports captain, for her continuous en- thusiasm throughout all our sportsg and to Cecily Ann Gunn, our secretary, who has so ably fulfilled her position during the past school months. The unfailing sportsmanship and complete cooperation of Garry Hall have helped to make this year an unforgetable period in the history of Riverbend school. I will always remember the wonderful times we have had together, at Garry, and can so honestly say that I have been extremely proud to have been your prefect for the year 1948-1949. CAROLE WALLICK.

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

'fa :fr- Phcto by Harold White Studio NELSON HALL DURING the last year I have had the honour of being house captain of Nelson Hall. Nelson has had a good year and although we are not on top of everything I feel that the support of all the girls in the house has been behind me. Barbara Drybrough has been an excellent secretary, and Joan Mitchell has been a good sports captain. Nelson has had the privilege of having Jocelyn Robb, our sports captain, among its ranks. There were many excellent track athletes in the House who made the Winning of the Senior Field Day possible. We have high hopes of winning the tennis and badminton cups as well .The girls have cooperated willingly in all sports. Although at Christmas we did not do too well in the house-point race. I feel sure that we have brought up our total. Each girl has tried her hardest to bring in house-points and each girl has succeeded admirably, especially in the term just passed. At Christmas the girls were most generous in providing for a hamper for a needy family. Due to a mix-up in addresses the hamper got to the wrong family. However, the girls of the whole school were so unselfish as to provide another hamper for the family that was sup- posed to get it. For the cooperation, house spirit, spirt of good sportsmanship and the generosity of all the girls in Nelson for this year 1948-49, I give my most heartfelt thanks. DAPHNE A. WHITE. Pace Nineteen
