Uhr 7 aglr PRINCIPAUS LETTER Rupert's Land College, Dear Girlsrn S , Winnipeg, Easter 1930. It seems a very short time ago that we were busily plan- ning the first number of THE EAGLE, our bird which soared aloft once again after a rest of eight years! Although the year has passed so quickly, a great deal has been accomplishedg don't you agree? First, and what I know has made our work and play much happier, is the complete renovation of the College. The cream walls, hardwood floors, and freshly-painted desks in the class- roomsg the attractive dining-hall g the comfortable, well-stocked library, and the charmingly-decorated bedrooms are the result of much time and thought on the part of our two College Boards. Owing to their careful planning, the work which took the whole Summer holiday, was completed and we were able to open school on the usual date. I should like to take this opportunity of extending to the Advisory Board and to the Ladies' Executive Board the appreciation of the whole School. The formation of our four School Houses has been even more successful that I had dared to hope. The members of each House have worked with great enthusiasm to make their particular House worthy of the name it bears and the School of which it is a part. The various entertainments and teas that the Houses have given have not only helped to strengthen School Spirit, but have revealed much latent talent amongst the members. Then I feel there has been a decided quickening in the Spirit of self-government. Girls in Senior Forms have been thinking much more seriously this year of the real meaning of self-government and have realized that unselfishness lies behind it. They have tried various experiments, and though they may not as yet be satisfied with the results, they may, I know, look forward to the future with confidence, realizing that though the growth of this spirit of unselfishness is slow, it is no less sure. Let us keep the ideal before us, believing that faith, co-operation and friendliness will some day accom- plish that on which we have set our hearts- . . . A man's reach should exceed his grasp Or what's a heaven for? Yours affectionately, G. E. MILLARD. 5
