We saw a zebra, anbear, a rabbit Csadly lacking fur in several partsl and a cat, all very amusing and original. They followed closely behind their leaders, walking with graceful movements! After dancing, a parade was held and costumes were judged by the vote of the girls. Miss Bannister COld Englishl was chosen as prizewinner for the Staff g Mary Stevens CLaundryJ won the prize for originality, and Viola Lathangue's costume was considered the most attractive one amongst those of the g1r s.

'Rupefrtls Land College Magazine l out Europe for their terrible dungeons and torture chambers. The Tower of L-ondon as it is to-day, however, is little' more than a museum, yet the old magnificence is still retained as far as possible. The Tower of London consists of many towers, surrounded on all sides by a moat and thick stone walls, on which the ramparts and guns are placed. On the tops of the outer towers are also ramparts and numerous guns. The magnificent tower which served as palace from the time of William Rufus to Charles the Second, was utterly destroyed in Charles the Second's reign, and on this site was built an Ordnance oflice destroyed by fire in 1788. The VV'hite Tower was also used as a palace. In this tower is St. John's Chapel, a specimen of fine Norman architecture. It has also been the scene of many historical events, and it was at the bottom of the stairs leading into this chapel that the bones of the two princes were found. The Devlin Tower, The By Ward, The Constable, Brick and Salt Towers were generally used as keeps and prisons, with the Beauchamp as the principal state prison. To the right of the Beauchamp Tower stands the tower in which the horrible tortures were carried on, and which was given the appropriate name of The Bloody Tower. One of the most northerly of the towers is the Bell Tower. It is of circular construction, surmounted by a wooden turret, containing the alarm bell of the fortress. The walls are of great thickness and the light is admitted thro-ugh loopholes. It was in this tower that the martyred- Bishop Fisher of Rochester was confined. The Princess Elizabeth was 'also confined in it by her sister, Queen Mary. Of one chapel I have already spoken, but the finest and largest is St. Peter's on Tower Green, built after the old English style of architecture. One of the most enjoyable features about the Tower, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, was the gardens and Tower Green. . The gardens are now destroyed but a portion of Tower Green still remains. X To-day, in the White Tower, guarded night and day by the Beefeaters, are the crown jewels of England, among which is the solid gold christening cup used at the baptism of every Royal child.

Rupe1't's Land College Magazine FORM NOTES -ll-1 FORM XII Although the other Forms probably consider us a small Form, we are really far superior to last year's Form XII, as there are six of us instead of one solitary student! We are a much-travelled class, for we have changed our Form room three times and now occupy an honoured position in what was formerly a Staff sitting-room. On October 19th we gave a tea and entertainment arranged by Miss Pearman, who was anxious to meet our mothers. A few members of Form XI co-operated with us and all agreed that the party was a great success. W0ur social engagements are not numerous but we have greatly appreciated Form X's invitation to dinner and should like to congratulate the person who suggested that Form XII should unite with Form XI in giving a farewell luncheon to Rosemary ,Martin and Clare Cowdry. ' In March Miss Pearman made arangements for us to attend the interesting lecture on Barnaby Rudge, arranged by the Dickens Fellowship. We have enjoyed the unusually large number of addresses given to the School by distinguished visitors passing through the city- The members of our Form are: Margaret Shepley, from Saskatoon, Gwendolyn Jones, from Dawson City, Ruth Car- son, of Norwood, who joined us at the beginning of the school- yearg together with Nancy Milton, Winnifred Loader and Barbara Paterson, who have been in the School for'a number of years. , ' ' ---- B.

' Before we sign off for this year, owing to the rapid approach of the examinations, we wish to give you a review of our past year's programme which, on account of static, did not begin until Gctober. A The first item was the School Hallowe'en Party, which has been described in detail in the press. This took place at the end of October and was attended by numbers of enthusiasts. A touch of novelty was added to our November programme by dividing the Form into two parts, one of which gave a most successful tea in honour of our greatest critics- Mothers We understand that the other half of the Form is still making its programme, which has not yet been announced.
