Rupertls Land College Magazine THE HALLOWE'EN PARTY The School once more had a most enjoyable Hallowe'en Party. A Sailors' Hornpipe UD, given by the skipper and crew of H.M.S. Rupert's Land, caused a considerable amount of amusement. Prizes were given for the prettiest and the mo-st original costumes. Mary Lile Love won the former prize, While Betty Joyce and Frances Gilman Were considered the most original couple in the room. Refreshments were served at the end of the evening and the smiling faces of all present were a sure proof that the party was successful. . . ,Fw is A qi Cx' LL- f it X 'Tw 'Q W: .,l- ' k , 1 Q M, is QU it W l HMS v, J .RUPERTS LAN 9

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

Rupert's Land College Magazine WHAT WE SAW OF THE GRADUATION DANCE, MAY 1929 The Statue in the Hall The statue on the staircase gazed, we can but say it looked amazed. What has become of the old School, thus parting from the daily rule? Where were the tunics of dark blue? From whence came this most lovely view? Where were the stockings, long and black? There is a gown without a back! Why they are here in shivering groups, instead of hurrying, scurrying Rups ? Who is this lovely thing in black? It's Miss Millard, alas! alack! Then I can see it is too true, the whole School has gone quite cuckoo. But here is our most brilliant Staff, that look prepared to laugh and laugh. Instead of sharply giving orders, they're beaming greetings to the Boarders, who have arrived all in a puckerg they have all donned best bib and tucker. This lovely group is going away -down to the dining-room, I'd say. The Picture on the Dining-room Wall The picture said within his heart, 'The dining-room looks really smart. The rows of eagles, poised for flight, each on a name seem to invite you to, of a royal feast partakefohl do forget the tummy-ache, that came upon the morning after, but think of all the fun and laughter, as all with grins upon their faces, madly hunted for their placesl. The feast pro- ceeded, long and gay, until a lull was heard, we'll say, when Miss Millard got up to speak, none but the brave would dare to squeak their chairs or sneeze or cough aloud, to make a murmur in the crowd. Then Muriel, our trusty Head, got up-what were those words she said? Then Jocelyn, as though she must, spouted at length of worms and dust, and Barbara Patterson must not be forgotten, as 'twas little she who prompted Terry to her feet to mutter words so strange but sweet. Then Nancy with great gusto rose, to say she felt she must propose a toast to Form Ten and their dinner lwe'll say it really was a winnerj. And then all went upstairs, oh quite relieved of any cares that might have come to us with thoughts perchance of all successes of our dance. Queen Elizabeth on the Assembly Hall Wall The hall is bright with colours gay, I wish it looked like this each day-the girls seem so excited, too, all in their gowns of lovely hue. The piano is being played by one, who with three others makes the fun of dancing to such merry tunes, in this room hung with bright balloons. Oh what is this un- seemly noise? I'm sure it is those rowdy boys, who have arrived just now I see, from whence they came surprises me. Here's Mr. Burman and his guests-I hope my gown does 10 -
