JANET GRAY Before Easter, Forms VI and V shared a classroom on the first floor, which is now occupied by Form VIII. We have been moved up to a room on Miss Millard's flat which has been kindly, but somewhat reluctantly, lent to us by the Boarders. Miss Short is our Form Mistress, and although we are a small Form, we are a very happy one. .Our chief occupation at present seems to be dressmaking for dolls when we can find a few minutes to spare! --- FORM VI. FORM V I President f .................................................... JEAN MONCRIEFF Vice-President .................................... BLANCHE HENDERSON The Form is very proud of the fact that it now has a classroom of its own. Miss Davies was our Form Mistress until Easter, but her place has now been taken by Mrs. Leslie. We have done a number of exciting things this year but we particularly enjoyed Oliver Twist and the Minneapolis Sym- phony concert. Dr. Thompson's lecture made a great impres- sion on the members of Form V. We were also very interested in Mr. Robson's visit for the purpose of taking the School photograph, which was a great success. MARGARET MCNABB. ' FORMS III AND IV These Forms, consisting of ten girls in each class, are to- gether in the same room. It is one of the most attractive and sunniest rooms in the School, and our plants and pictures help to make it even more cheerful. A We have had some very happy times together. At Hal- lowe'en we had a most successful party with Forms I and II. Many people appeared in costume, and this helped' to make our 22

Ruperzfs Land College Magazine occasionally allowed to venture into the Upper World, but we are very happy in our Under World, where we are often to be found disporting ourselves in the dusky corridors. We are endeavouring to beautify our abode in an effort to obtain the prize for tidiness kindly offered by Miss Millard. The bright curtains clinging to Miss Sheldon's shelves certainly outshine all Pluto's precious jewels. 'The Form has had a very succ-essful year with' Sheila Campbell as President, Margaret Ferguson as Vice-President, and Anne Smith as Games Captain. Several exciting basket- ball games have been played, but Form IX has gently but firmly proved that we need another year's practice before we can reach its standard of play. Our remarkable amount of energy has found an outlet during the gym, dancing and swimming classes, which have proved most popular under Miss Welch's leadership. The girl who wins the Attendance prize in June must indeed be a Spartan, for illness has been the cause of much absence during the past year. Since close friends have been forbidden to sit next to one another, loud whispers and frantic gesticulations have been noticed. The thought of the June examinations somewhat suppresses our high spirits but that of the Summer holidays sustains us considerably! ' FORM VIII.

Rupert's Land College Magazine party gay. At our Valentine Party the Form Presidents acted as postmen, who opened their mail box and found several Valentines for everyone. , This term we are having an automobile race across Canada, which is causing keen competition between the Forms and arousing a great deal of excitement. We are very proud of the fact that a number of the things we have made were shown in the exhibition o-n May 20th. The things we made were sewing bags, raflia mats, and wax models. FORMS III AND IV. . FORM II We are Form II. We have a nice bright classroom, we try to keep it tidy and not leave paper on the floor. We make it look pretty with pictures and our drawings, and we have some plants. V ' . ' We make health charts and last term we kept a weather chart. We have stars for our work and conduct, last term Clementina Adamson won the prize for having the most. We enjoy our lessons and we like coming to School- PREPARATORY CLASS We are the Little People of the Library. You big girls often help us to dress and you probably hear us playing our band' sometimes. There are thirty in our family, half of us are girls: we shall be big girls soon. The rest of us will someday become Old Boys. In our first term we had a happy Hallowe'en Party ,with Grades III and IV. Fairies, Sailors, Chinese and Dutch people came-for it was a fancy dress party. The class invited mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters to a Christmas tree. Suddenly there was heard a jingle of bells. David went to investigate and he met-Santa Claus. On Valentine's Day, too, we held a party and there was at heavy shower of cards for everyone. Mr. Ernest Raymond came and shook hands with us one day. Some of us want to be writers like him when we grow upg others would be sailors, doctors, br nurses. I y Many of us have little brothers and sisters. We look for- ward to the day when they, too, will come to Rupert's Land College. W A 23
