R?.l2967't,S Land College Ma,gazi'ne EDITORIAL NOTES THE EAGLE has, at any rate, had a longer life than its predecessor, for the last School Magazine issued came to an end at Volume I. In order to pay our bills we have had to accept donations from the proceeds of concerts, but when these notes appear in print our readers will have the satisfaction of knowing that alllast year's debts have been paid. As we have taken orders, and subscriptions, in advance this year there is every prospect of our meeting all expenses with- out any help from other funds. In that case it will be possible to organize the 1931 Magazine Committee in September, with the result that the girls of the School will have a still larger share in the production of their annual Magazine. It is probable that the standard of the articles will be raised and the labours of the Editorial Staff considerably lightened by beginning work in September. It is a good idea for girls to save up the copies of the Magazine and to have them bound when they leave School. This record of their School life will prove most interesting to them in future years. A few copies of Volume I have been saved in case any girl wishes to complete her set for this purpose, but none will be available after the end of the Sum- mer Term. These can be obtained from Miss Pearman for 25 cents. It is disappointing that space will not allow us to include all the suitable material submitted in the Magazine, we hope that girls who have been unsuccessful this year will have better luck in future. In conclusion we should like to thank all those who have helped to make the Magazine a success by advertising, by writing articles, and by ordering copies. 6

Whispers from the passages, What time is it ?-but nobody had a watch. Then a Sh from the stage, for the overture had started. Slowly and silently the girls found their partners and cried confusedly, Which side is the platform ? Then up went the curtain, the familiar strains of a march started, and with smiling faces, and heads high, the girls made a dignified entrance. At last we knew-it was the annual display of gym and dancing by the girls of Rupert's Land College. A J EAN TOMLINSON. 3
