6 RUPERT'S LAND COLLEGE MAGAZINE corners which have been raised around our School, and all these are steps towards the ideal. Our new Homecraft Course will some day develop into a very big room I hope, so that one of my big personal aims for the school will be realized. One of the very encouraging features of the year was the excellent results of the Departmental examinations in Grades XII and XI, which appeared in August. Many of the girls who had worked so hard during the year, felt themselves rewarded.. The high standard of much of the work in Grades X and IX made us hopeful of equally good results next summer. Then, the responsible attitude of you all towards school elections CSchool Captain, Prefects, Esprit de Corps winners, etcl , have made me very happy during the last two years. I know you are beginning to realize your responsi- bilities and to use your judgment- preparations toward living a full and useful life when you leave school. When you were preparing the material for this magazine, you had not heard of the resignation of Mr. Beech. I know how much you will all regret his absence from Rupert's Land, where he has worked faithfully for seventeen years. Our best wishes go with him and Mrs. Beech for their continued health and happiness - they celebrated their golden wedding two years ago. ' Finally, our thanks go to Miss Turner, who has so unselfishly edited our magazine, and to all who have worked to make it a success. With love and best wishes, Yours affectionately, G. E. MILLARD

A SUMMER SCENE As we rounded the corner, we came upon one of those charming scenes that sometimes break suddenly on one's sight like a colored picture flashed on a screen. We were high on the side of a hill, and from our feet the green velvet of the grass billowed away, sloping gradually to the valley of the sparkling little sapphire brook which we had crossed a few minutes before. Scattered over the pasture were sleek black cattle which shone like jet in the bright June sun and stood out clearly against that green carpet with its pattern made by the white of the daisy, the gold of the buttercup and black-eyed-Susan and the darker green spots that were lone trees and bushes. Away to the east the carpet rose again and was topped by emerald woods of pine, spruce, elm, oak, maple and ash, stretching into theblue distance in a gentle sea of rolling swells. To the west, it fell, and the cheerful red roof of our destination could be seen, seeming to urge us to hurry to the cool shade of its surrounding sentinel pines. In spite of its invitation, however, we stood a moment more to view the broad acres of young grain spreading to the foot of the dark mountain, outlined inkily against the brilliant sky. The fields were cut by the pale ribbon of the new cement highway which sometimes cuts into the bright jade necklace made by the maples marking the way of the old gravel county road, and sometimes swung off into the fields as if wishing to explore the beauties of growing things there. Beyond, the railway gleamed silver, and the 4:46, patiently chugging her way to the village three miles farther on, reminded us that Father Time does not wait for mere mortals, so we continued our way with mental vows to return again very soong which we did. , ANNE CAMERON
