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. , '

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.

J UNE KENNEDY Junior Sports Captain ,..,. .... S HIRLEY JACKSON We have just come to the end of a very successful year, 1932-1933. Looking back I can see all the activities of Matheson House for that year, events which brought forward many hidden talents in our members. In sport, even though our efforts were not always crowned with success, Matheson House did very well and proved that she was a good loser. In the inter-House basketball competition, Matheson was third, and in the Drill-Eights, under the capable ,leader- ship of her sports captain, June Kennedy, she came second. We are very proud of our junior sport captain, Shirley Jackson, who won the intermediate gymnastic cup in June. Apparently our talents lie in an opposite direction from the field of sports. Matheson House this year won the inter- House musical festival, which was adjudicated by Mrs. Roberto Wood. Under the direction of Katherine Saunders, and accompanied by Eileen Chandler, our choir came second in the chosen test pieces, but was first in the sight singing. Eileen Chandler also won the senior pianoforte and Pat Spendlove won the junior. This year we had a new competition-that of Story- telling, Our final position in this was second, but the senior class was won by one of our lieutenants, Katherine Saunders. We want to thank our staff members for their untiring efforts in listening to the stories of our entrants many times and for their helpful criticism. At the annual Zenana sale, Matheson House made a splendid showing at her stall of china, paper, brass and toys. Also, this year we presented the Archbishop with a book and later received a very nice letter of thanks from him. Even though our final position for the year was fourth, Matheson House has done some very good work under her leaders. We are sorry to have to say good-bye to Miss Young, Miss Rainsford and Miss Lees, who are leaving this year for England, and we want to wish them good luck for their futures. At Graduation, members of Matheson House won many prizes, and wish to offer them our hearty congratulations. It is with real regret that the graduates of Matheson House bid farewell to their fellow-members, and they wish them the best of luck for the future. '
