house motfher the two weeks prior to Ch-ristmas holidays.. After Christmas Miss 'Parker took over 1her job of keep- inrg us on the straiigfht and narrow path, and pulllinmg HR-obeirta out of bed in time for breakfast. 'I'he big event of the year which turned -the Red House into the usual turmoil was the formal. The conver- sational topics weire-dresses, accesso- ries, flowers, and' last but not leas-t dates. Carla Ann an-d Audrey kept their dates in suspense until the last moment. The gowns were as varied as the men. The most popular man of the day, excluding Alex, is the postmfan, who is met daily at the gate. Margaret seems to carry on the strangest corres- pondence. One of ther let-ters com- menced with, quote, Hello you old alley cat, unquote. Ouvr 'business girl, Betty Ann, is one jump ahead of the rest of usg tfhat's not va pierce of glass sparkling on her left hand. We all wish their the best ot luck. We'll be envying ber in a nice sunny offaice while we struggle with June exams. This year the country is well repre- sented. Helen 'hail-s from Terrace Bay, Ontario. We wonder how Helen will get home in June fwith her large col- lection of shoes. A newcomer to our clan this year, Helen soon became one of us. The other two 'beds in Helen's room are occupied by June an-d Rob- erta. June is our quiet blond from Griswold, Manitob-a. Ain ardent Bran- don 'fan is June, who is envied for he-r neatness. Roberta, from Dauphin, is fwlfl of fun and allways has a ready laugh. lIt's a good job Bert's gramo- phone is beside her bed, for she goes to sleep and wakes up to th.e strains of Fats Waller's Two Sle-epy People. Carla Ann and Audrey occupy the room across tthe hall. We'll always re- mefmber their prized possessions - khaki jackets with namesakes on the back. We must'n't forget Carla's mouse and Audr-ey's yrearnings for waist- length ,hair Cwe like it just the wavy it is, Aud4reyD. Theifr theme song could rightly be, Yorkton, Here we Co-me. The roo-m with the many doo-rs be- longs t-o Betty Ann, Clatire and Ruth. C-liaire and Ruth -are the twins from Melville and to utter a vword against their fhome town would prove- to be fatal. Although. thfis is a bedroorn it could be called -a barber shop for here many Red House lock-sr have fallen. We wonder' wfhere Ruth learned the art of hair cutting. Cllaire's' inte-rests lie in the field of clothe-sl and she can usually be .seen se-winrg on a garment. We were all relieved when the last stitch was put into their formal just in time for the dance, Margaret lives alone on the top floor. Marg come-s from Pine Falls and h.er most cherished possession is her Chopin record album. Many of us will be gone next year, but to those wth-o remain an-d' to those who take our place, we leave the good times always associated with the Red House. RUT'H ANDERSON.
