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.

Finally, Miss Sheldon, acting as receiving hostess, introduced Mr. and Mrs. Noah CMiss Holditch and Miss Millardj, followed by various 'fi 3' . v 5 I . lf: ..A',fl'1 , ' Ek -if f.

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. This parade was followed by refreshments and we dis- persed to our varlous homes at 11 o clock after having spent a most h1lar1ous evening RW 17, . ya- f ' 5 - 1 .

A Rupert's Land College Magazine As the weather was favourable for those listening in, it was decided that a play would be enjoyed by many of them. We therefore began to rehearse for a performance of Dickens' Christmas Carol, under Miss Pearman's directionp Having learnt our parts and mastered the art of making our voices sound well over the microphone, we broadcast our play just before the Christmas holidays and received many letters of appreciation from our numerous supporters. The next item was a class toboggan party, which was an initiation ceremony for our Form Mistress! After this our radio was silent for a considerable time, although many mem- bers of the Form took part in basketball games, which were most exciting. The athletic side of our programme was com- pleted by the announcement of the Gymnastic Display, which involved nearly every member of the Form. Our programme for the year was concluded by the broad- casting of the Cup games, which took place in the Assembly Hall. This effort has made it necessary for us to close down for repairs, after wishing all our supporters a most enjoyable holiday. Station R.L.C., broadcasting from Form XI, signing off. LowA B. TRAYNOR. FORM X Under Miss Bannister's gentle supervision Form X thrives and blossoms forth, retaining sufficient energy, in spite of its numerous activities, to open and shut windows continually, and to fetch and carry chalk. Many new invaders have joined our old pioneers, and the Form now has thirty-one members. Practically everyone takes a great interest in sports. Over half the class takes gym, dancing or swimming lessons, and fifty per cent. of the First basketball team is composed of Form X girls. The latest occupation of the Form consists in carefully growing one's hair again and then having it all cut off when the mighty effort has been made! However, the Form is a bright and cheerful group of long-1-egged sweet- sixteens, and one shudders to think of what the School would do without them. i --- M. BARTLETT. FORM IX Form IX classroom, at the end of the main corridor, has been filled. to the brim this year. During the first term, with Betty Read and Barbara Gage, we reached the grand total of forty. In fact, Mr. Beech, the janitor, was completely over- whelmed by theinumerous requests for extra desks which he was asked to fit in somewhere. l 19
