Ihr TEIQIP VOL. V. OCTOBER, 1933 No. 1 MISS MlLLARD'S LETTER November, 1933 Dear Girls, Past and Present: Though this letter is addressed to you all, it will be read this year, I expect, more especially by present girls than by those of the past, Q5,fQhB,.Old Girls are producing their own News Bulletin. fHowever, in case this does find its Way into--any Old Girl's hands, we from the school offer you our best Wishes for the continued success of the Old Girls' Association and our sincerest greetings. The years fly by so quickly that you jolly little Kinder- garten people are tall, grown-up seniors, taking Leaving Certificates at Prize-giving before we can realize it. Then you come back to see us as members of the Alumnae, and how good it is to have you with us again. I Wonder if you can realize what happiness it is to Watch the progress and development of a girl from Kindergarten to Grade XII? How much interest one takes in her successes and what sympathy one feels for her in her difficulties. At Rupert's Land we are privileged to do this, as many of you spend your whole school life with us. You cannot imagine how happy we were in September when several seniors came back to Grade XII, girls who had been With us for so many years. We spend such busy lives at school that we find it difficult sometimes to find time to be still and to consider Whether or not We are trying to live up to the high aims and ideals We have set before us. Do you notice, that as We reach up our aim goes even higher? That is what makes school life so interesting and absorbing, because I feel that you are all trying to build a splendid Rupert's Land With us. Building a school is so much more engrossing than building a material thing. How expensive it would be for a house-owner to add rooms and odd corners continually to his home. Yet that is what we are always trying to do at school-trying to find Ways to improve our school so that every girl coming to us may find moreihelp and happiness. I feel our Self-Government, the House System, with its many and varied activities, our Literary Society, the Inter- House Musical Festival, the Form Societies for raising missionary funds, the House Drill-Teams, etc., are all l l
