16 RUPERT'S LAND COLLEGE MAGAZINE SPORTS REPORT During the season 1932-33 our energies were confined to basketball in the winter months and tennis during May and June. Eldred Jenkins was elected sports captain, and she worked enthusiastically throughout the year. In September we had to build up practically a new team as most of the girls who played during the previous year had left school, but the girls worked hard and soon the standard of play showed improvement. Shooting and guarding were good in both first and second teams, but passing, especially in the center court, was weak. We played against Riverbend School this year, and in both matches Riverbend iirst team and our second team carried the honours. In the Clark cup match, the Old Girls retained the first team cup, but our second team was victorious. During the spring term, inter- House and Form' matches were played. Machray House and Grade X gained most points. . First Team. P. Richards, E. Jenkins, V. Major, K. Saunders, J. Watson, K. Clarke. Second Team. A. Cameron, V. McGregor, M. K. Florance, L. Cub- bidge, J. Pratt, H. Cameron. FIRST TEAM CRITICISM. Forwards: E. Jenkins CCaptainJ, a strong steady player with good shooting powers. J. Watson, a reliable forward. Jumping Centre: P. Richards, a neat strong player, and the mainstay of the team. Running Centre: K. Clarke, a good guard, but her passing is erratic. Guards: V. Major and K. Saunders, persistent and reliable guards. Tennis. The court was kept very busy this season before school, at recess, noon and after school, the weather afford- ing many opportunities for practice, and play improved generally. The Hnalists in the tournament were Betty Dean and Eldred Jenkins, and after a very exciting and close match fscore 9-7, 6-35, Betty Dean won. Drill. House sports captains had the entire responsibility of training and commanding the members of their drill eight for the competition. The results showed how enthusiastically and loyally the girls had practised and supported their captain.

RUPERT'S LAND COLLEGE MAGAZINE 15 Art throughout the school has shown a definite improve- ment. In spite of the fact that many girls consider that they will never be able to paint, some of the most individual and quaint designs have been produced by these people! The younger ones have been seen with boxes of primary colours, stout paint brush and a whole new sheet of paper-destined probably to be covered with scarlet blossoms in a blue pot, or yellow chicks running a perpetual race-what matter? Any child when guided aright finds happiness through some such creative effort.. Who can imagine with what amount of eagerness a child approached me with: May I REALLY paint a red elephant? The amount of inspiration there was in that elephant, when completed, was a revelation. The needlework books, begun last September, have been a source of usefulness and pleasure to most, though alas! many were the times that hemming and basting had to be practised before the best example of each could be affixed in the books. In the work of the Sketch Club originality allied to ability has achieved a pleasing result, how interesting it has been to observe the different interpretations of subjects set for each term, and how good most of the work. Definitely there is ability in this little artist group which should be encouraged. WINIFRED M. BREWER 'I ! l' MISSIONS The Hay River Mission, at Great Slave Lake, and the Zenana Bible and Medical Mission were again helped in 1932-33. For the support of two girls, and for Christmas presents for all the pupils at Hay River School, 3120.00 were raised by the different classes organizing tag days, candy sales, a curio exhibition and a play, etc. The annual tea and gift shop in November raised 35125.00 to support Nanu Kisan, a cot in the Nasik Hospital and Miss Gladys Craig at the Lady Kinnaird High School for Girls at Lahore. At Christmas the school sent bales of clothing, toys and food to poor families in the country, no less than twelve families being helped in this way.
