12 RUPERT'S LAND COLLEGE MAGAZINE HOUSE NOTES 'I' 'I' 4' DALTON HOUSE President... ............ Miss TURNER Associates ............ Miss SI-IARMAN, Miss BREVVER Miss MARTIN ' Captai ..........,. JOYCE LAW Lieutena ts .,.......... DORIS PROCTOR, EVELYN WALLACE, MARGERY BEDFORD The year 1932-33 was a bright and happy year for Dalton House. Aided and upheld by our President and. Executive we entered into all the inter-House contests, and, although we were not always successful, we succeeded in retaining the much coveted House shield. At the Zenana bazaar, we managed the candy stall, operated the fishpond and acted a shadow play up in the studio as an added and unusual attraction. The latter was a great success and much enjoyed by all who witnessed it. Next came the annual Musical Festival, and, although we did not distinguish ourselves, our choir and pianist had worked well and benefited by the helpful criticism of Mrs. Wood, the adjudicator. Then came a new and entirely different event-a story-telling competition. Miss Sutherland was the judge and she gave us a most interesting preliminary talk. We spent a very happy morning in listening to the stories of the various members of each house, even if we did not win. The House basketball team did good work during the year and emerged from each match, if not victorious, at least not downcast, and with high hopes for the future. we were very proud of our drill eight, who came first, under the able direction of our sports captain, Anne Cameron, to whom many thanks are due. At the close of the year we were delighted to discover that we had again obtained the House shield, and we wish to thank the Executive for all which they did to make our year happy and interesting.

RUPERT'S LAND COLLEGE MAGAZINE 11 over the year I think of the different sides of school life with which the various members of the staff are associated. It is to Miss Holdith that we turn when we want to borrow flowers, for she always manages to have some in her possession, whatever the season. Mrs. Purdie and Miss Coleman manage to keep the little people supremely happy, and one realizes that school spirit is already developing in these babies when they are heard singing our school song: The Best School Of All. Miss Church is definitely recognized as our newspaper correspondent, Miss Turner we associate with plays, Miss Bussell, who last year was a member of the Fort Rouge staff, is now really one of us, Miss Martin is still pursuing the somewhat thankless task of drilling mathematics into middle school heads, Miss Harding has devoted much of her time to accompanying and helping generally with the music, Mrs. Pidcock acts as a general mother, making boarding school life more like home, the visiting staff bring in their breath of freshness from the outside world, it is to Mrs. Fenton that we all turn when we need propping-up, and we realize how much we shall miss her in the next school year. It is always with a feeling of regret that we say good-bye to members of the staff with whom we have been in such close contact during their years at school. This year we are losing Miss Young and Miss Rainsford, who have done so much in the way of English and French plays in the Junior and Middle School. To Miss Brewer and Miss Dovey we must also with great regret say good-bye, and to Miss Lees who has taught so many of us our French and Latin. With the girls who are leaving we send our best wishes, but we are not losing them altogether, for they keep in close touch with the school through the Alumnae Association. Now, with Prize-giving, the climax of the year, almost upon us, we realize that the end has really come. First, I would like to thank Miss Millard who has helped me so much in every way, and then the staff and the prefects, who have proved themselves always helpful and willing, and lasitly the girls, who have shown what ends co-operation can ac IGVG.

PAULINE RICHARDS, EVELYN ROGERS Secretary ,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, JESSIEO MALCOLMSON 1932-33 was a most successful year for Jones House, and although We did not win the coveted shield, We made a valiant eEort. The first big event of the year was the Zenana Sale, at which we took charge of the tea. As an added attraction, we raffled a doll dressed as a Rupert's Land girl, Which proved to be very popular. In the Musical Festival We stood second, our choir coming first. The story- telling competition was very encouraging, for we came first, but in the drill eights We were fourth. We lost the basket- ball cup by a very small margin, having gained only one point less than Machray House. But on the Whole, Jones House managed to come third. The best of luck to our members for next year. 'I' 'I' -I' MACHRAY HOUSE President ......... ........... li fliss COLEMAN Associates ........ .......... M iss BUSSELL, Mrs. PURDIIC Captain .................. ......,.... J OAN WATSON Lieutenants ...... .. ........... ELIZABETH ANDERSON, VERA MAJOR JEAN MONCRIEFF Secretary ......... ............ E LIZABETH ANDERSON Sports Captain ......................,. VERA MAJOR Machray House had the honour of having the Head Girl, Joan Watson, as House Captain for the year. The Musical Festival was much enjoyed, as usual. Practising before- hand often meant sacrifice, but, when the day arrived, it Was Well worth all the effort. Our House came third in the combined results. At the Zenana Mission sale, Machray House had charge of the linen and Odds and Ends stalls. A new feature in the year's activities was the Story-Telling Competition, which proved of great interest, giving us, as it did, a closer association with Miss Sutherland, and helping us to discover hidden talent within the Houses. The Inter- House Basketball matches were played very enthusiastic- ally, the highest score being obtained by Machray House. This success Was balanced by our coming third When the Drill Eights held their competition. Although our position Was second at the end of the year, We are full of hope for the future. We Wish the three officers leaving us every success. , '
