J UDY MOSS According to tradition Dalton House began the session 1931-1932 with a picnic on the river bank. The day was chilly but we soon made a cheerful, crackling fire. We then held trials for the Senior and Junior events of the Inter- House Sports, encouraging all members to compete and do their bit. Then sizzling wieners and bacon were attacked with great gusto. Thus the new girls were informally initiated into the House. When the Sports Day came we took fourth place. At the Zenana Bazaar loyal members of the House turned up to sell the contents of the linen stall. A 'Practices and rehearsals went on apace for the Musical Festival and girls as well as audience felt that this year the standard of achievement was considerably higher than last year. As the pieces chosen were the same as those for the Winnipeg Musical Festival we were particularly interested when these same items were performed there in April. We were fourth in the Festival. Notwithstanding our fourth position in Festival and Sports, when .the total calculation was made, Dalton House came first at Christmas. For this we have to thank those members who have done steady work in class all year and received no order marks. At the end of the Easter term, our juniors won the highest points in the games. Well done, juniors! Good work and few order marks, and our juniors' success, not to mention the neatness of our boarders, again brought us to the first place. We would like to thank our games captain, Judy Moss, for her untiring efforts to keep the flag flying in the Held of sports and games. T Although the House. is still young, we can boast of having Old Girls! One of them, Katherine Wickens, has just gained a scholarship in composition at the Art School and obtained three honourable mentions as well. Congratulations to this Daltonian! j . We are very happy indeed to be the winners of the House Cup for the year, and intend to do our best to retain the trophy. We are very sorry that our Captain, Miss Bannister is leaving -this year. She has ably guided us through the whole 13

MACHRAY HOUSE Captain ...........................................................,.........,...,,................................................ ...Miss COLEMAN Lieutenant: .......................... ................................. M iss HART, G. PARKER, J. NVATSON The past year has been a very busy one for the members of Machray House under the leadership of Miss Coleman and Miss Hart. At the Machray House picnic, held early in the fall, in order that the members might become acquainted, wieners were roasted and everyone had a good time, races being run in preparation for Sports Day, an annual competi- tion between the Houses. Through the united eiorts of the girls the house ranked second in this total and enjoyed the keen competition of the other Houses. The juniors specially showed line spirit in their races. At the Zenana tea the girls proved themselves equally capable in working in a tearoom as in running races and did everything they could to make it a success. At the Annual House Musical Festival talent was shown under the leadership of Joan Watson and in the total of marks Machray House came first. Christmas exams now followed and everyone was busy trying to score high marks and bring credit to the House, and though not entirely successful as in the Easter results the girls took their defeat sportingly. Early in the second term the members at Rupert's Land entertained the new and younger members from the Fort Rouge school. Tea was served and after, everyone played games and the little folk enjoyed themselves immensely. The basket ball season was now in full swing and the members worked hard in order to gain an honorable position in the inter-house matches. Early in the summer term school exams took place and after this House competition was forgotten in the united effort of the senior sch-ool to pass the departmental examinations.
