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.

DOUGLAS HALL DOIUGLAS has had -an eventful year. Although we have not -won a sports cup, fthe girls have done their bes.t and have shown goo-d. sip-ontsmanship at all times. I fwoulld like to thank Roberta Sicrase, our spor-ts captain., for s-o freely giving her time and energy to our house sports. We have done ve-ry well in house points and we are working hard for the shield. Mary Hope Mclnnis has been an effficient secretary. Our yearly box of -gifts to Point D-ouglas Missions was greatly appre- ciated. Thank you, girls, your co- operation and generous gifts make the project a success. We are fortunate to have Miss Hall- dorson and Mrs. Little in our house, and we appreciate their interest and help. We are fortunate also in having a lively house supirit. I have enjoyed the privilege of being prefect of Douglas Hall, and this y-ear will always be a memorable one for me. CLAIRE ANDERSON. if GARIRY HALL AS the 19419-510 school yea-r nears its colmpletion., I am 'happy to be able to look back upon an eventful year. We are very fortunate this year in havinig Cecily Ann Gunn, our head girl, among our members, and also Mrs. Price, Mrs. 'Mc'E'wen and Miss Arnold as our staff representatives, who have given their assistance and help so freely and willingly. In the field of sp-or-ts, Garry has made a fine showing. First of all, aided by our capable sports captain, Susan Ches- ter, an-d with t?he wvhole-hearted co- op-era-tion of the girls, we won the Intter--House Field Day Cup. Alt'houg:h we did not win the volleybalal cup the girls displayed fine siportsmanship. Our 'baske-t'bal'l team is still in the play-offs for the highly prized basketball cup. Garry also came second in the bowling this year. All the girls in Garry worked hard to obtain house -points- and I would like to thank them for their untiring efforts. Dian-a Morton also deserves special credi-t for her -efficiency as secretary for Garry. Our Ch-ristmas hamper was an eX- ample -of the Wonderful generosity of all the girls. The hamper, containing foo-d, presents and' clo-th-ing, was deliv- ered to a needy family just before 'Chris-tmas, and was certainly appre-- ciated. ' I 'would also flike to take this o-ppor- tunity to thank the girls for their tire- less efforts in sel'lin-g tickets for the school plays, which were presented' in March. My year as ,prefect o-f Garry Hall has been a happy one because of the- won- derful house spirit and co-o-peration of the staff mem.bers and all the girls. RUTH ANDERSON. ir NELSON HALL NEILSON Hall is coming to the close of another eventful year. I have enjoye-d my duties as prefect and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our staff memfbers., Mrs. Low, ,Miss Hepworth and Mrs. Wefllwo-od, and the girls, for their lo-yalty and co- operation. Special praise goes to Janet Bleeks, our efficient secretary, whose- neat lists helped to -bring us to second' pl-ace in house points at Christmas and third place at Easter. To Sandra McNamara, our vivacious sports captain, I extend my thanks for working so har-d to or- ganize and improve our teams. Nltlmouglh we were not victorious, Nelson .sho-wed good sp-or-tsm-ans'hip in the field day last fall. Inter-house volleyiball, basketba-ll and bowling took up much of our time, and fine h-ouse spirit was again displayed. Before CIhiris.tirnas, a gene-rous hami- per 'was assemfbled' and delivered to a needy family. Due 'to -the unti-ring efforts of the giril-s, Nelson sold the largest numfber Page Sixteen
