udl R U P E y S L D C O L L E G E n snsvinLnLuxnsuxnxumuxnxutmusnxnnsnxusnxnsnsenxu have high hopes for the future. On March 12th we had a Junior Party, at which there was a treasure hunt, and various games were played with enthusiasm. A little later in the term, the Machray Seniors, each with a guest from one of the other Houses, entertained at a Treasure Hunt, after which we returned to the School for games and refreshments. We wish to thank the Executive for all they have done in making this a happy and successful year, and it is with real regret that the graduates of Machray House will leave the School behind them. We wish them the best of luck for the future. evo MATHESON HOUSE President: Miss Sharman Associates: Miss Martin, Miss Yvells House Captain: Julia Adamson Senior Lieutenants: Margaret Martin, Madeline Taylor Junior Lieutenants: Betty McDonald, Margaret Pilling Sports Captains: Phoebe Morris, Peggy Jackson Secretary and Treasurer: Betty Cox and Jocelyn Richardson llli9ANK1NG first in 1934-35, for the first time in its history' Matheson holds the House Shield. We are doing our best to keep it! We began the year by welcoming ten new members, then, on September 19th, a lovely autumn day, held our Picnic, again in the traditional spot, River Park. After games, we gathered round the fire, rested, toasted weiners, and when these were eaten, practised for Sports Day, then, setting off for home, marked the commencement of the year with a very satisfactory milestone The School Sports were held on October 8th, and our House was active in each event, but the Black and Silver colours came last in the list, with thirty-tive points. We'll do better next time. At the Mission Tea in November we shared the Dining- room with Dalton, while Jones and Machray were in the Hall. Our thanks to those who so kindly poured for us, to those who came to the tea, and to the girls for their fine co-operation. In the House basketball matches, Matheson came second, with some exciting finishes. Two of our team were unable to play, and We did miss them. The House parties arranged by the Executive were most enjoyable. The Juniors went to toboggan, but as the slides could not be used, tramped along the river, tried the river bank slide, and returned to the School with tremendous appetites. There were piles of Shot dogs ready, and after supper, games in the Hall. The Seniors and their guests had a Box Party at the end of March. The evening was spent profitably, making fortunes tin beansi, to which all the games contributed, especially the treasure hunt! The boxes were beautifully decorated, and sold to the highest bidders amid general hilarity, by Miss Wells, a very capable auctioneer. This closes the account of House events, and as the Magazine goes to press, Matheson present girls send best wishes to all ex-Mathesons wherever they are, and to each one, good luck! evo JONES HOUSE President: Miss Bussell Associates: Miss Reid, Miss Armitage Captain: Sheila O'Gradv Senior Lieutenants: Heather Leslie, Ruth Hoskin Junior Lieutenants: Sheila Blackie, Patricia Chown Secretary: Vivienne Durden Sports Captain, Senior: Maryon Weiss Junior: Patricia Chown Cnillli-'HIS year has been a very enjoyable one for Jones House. We welcomed Miss Bussell, formerly of Machray House, and Miss Reid and Miss Armitage to our Executive, and although very sorry indeed to say good-bye to Miss Bartlett, our former President, we have spent a happy and successful year. The first event of note for the House was Sports Day, held on October Sth in the School grounds, and the Picnic held a few days before at Assiniboine Park to prepare for it. High- lights of Sports Day were the obstacle race, which afforded great amusement for all excepting those taking part, and, for Jones House, the discovery that we had won, although Machray was very close behind. Instead of a Zenana Sale this Christmas, House Teas were held on November 30th in the Assembly Hall. Jones House conducted a Babies' Tea as well as an Adults' Tea, and it was noticed that several people a little out of the baby stage enjoyed this very much, as the menu consisted of ice cream and lemonade. The Teas were a distinct success, and Jones House collected 51532.35 At Christmas also we sent a letter to Miss Church, one of our Associates of a few years ago, who is living in Montreal, and not long ago we received a charming letter in reply. .On March 7th, we held our Annual Tramp, which was enjoyed by everyone, including the guests, we sincerely hope, and returned to the home of Maryon Weiss after, through the kindness of Mrs. Weiss. Although the weather was rather damp, this did not hinder our enjoyment of the hike In all these activities we have not forgotten our determina- tion to win the House Shield, which honour has not been ours for several years, and to retain the Basketball Cup, which we won last year and this year too, and we hope that the next year will be as happy and profitable to Jones House as this has been. Q60 DALTON HOUSE Prcsiftent' Miss S. L. Turner Associate: Miss C. McCance Captain: Georgina Moore Lieutenanls, Sen'zior.' Phyllis Hutchins, Betty Wilks Junior: Virginia Cameron, Connie Munro Secretary: Betty Burman Games Captain, Senior: Betty Burman .Iu.nior.' Connie Munro MS SOON as it was known that a Sports Day was to be held, Dalton House held its first meeting of the year to elect a Senior and Junior Games Captain. This being decided, arrange- ments were made for a picnic for the whole House to select the competitors and to practise for the forthcoming Sports Day. On a September Friday afternoon a very animated Dalton House started for City Park. This proved an enjoyable picnic, and although the results, on the whole, were not in favour of Dalton, which came third, everyone was well pleased with such a successful day of sport and competition. Everyone was delighted when it was announced that instead of the usual Christmas Bazaar for Missions, a Silver Tea would be held under the direction of the Houses. Dalton shared the School Dining-room with Matheson, and in addition took charge of a sale of gifts which took place in the main corridor. After a great deal of work and fun the great day arrived-November 30th. Exceeding all our expectations, Dalton House succeeded in making the large sum of 36855. Another interest of Dalton House has included basketball. In arranged matches, Dalton yielded before the onslaught of the Jones House team, but turned the tables by six points against Machray House. Our good fortune did not hold, and we were defeated by Matheson House in the final game. Owing to the delay of arrangements for an outdoor event, we decided to vary the programme and have a St. Patrick's Tea. This was very popular, and we invited the President and four other members of the Executives of the other Houses. Dalton House Juniors each brought a guest and had their tea and games in the lunch room. The Seniors entertained in the Assembly Hall, where two tables were laid and decorated in green. A large St.. Patrick's cake occupied the centre of the table. Dancing continued, with various girls supplying the music at the piano. This event ended our social programme until the Easter holidays.

Cynthia Bennest, Joyce Chadwick lliN A short time we shall have reached the end of what has been a most enjoyable and satisfactory year for Machray House. A picnic at City Park was the first important event of the term. Sports were practised and, in spite of the afternoon closing with a shower of rain, a good time was had by all. From then until October most of our time was spent in working for Sports Day, where we were fortunate enough to come a very close second, under the able direction of our sports captain, Marjorie Chisholm. For the Zenana Mission this year, instead of the customary sale, we had a Silver Tea and Woolly Animal Show, where the members of the House were very smart in green and silver caps and aprons. Thanks to the splendid co-operation of the girls the venture was a great success. Next came the House basketball matches, where, although we did not come first, we put up a good fight and so

During the Summer Term the court was in great demand, and the standard of play improved. The annual tournament was won by lieth Tooley, with Pat Spendlove as runner-up. BADn11NToN . . . This year, for the first time, Senior and Junior clubs were formed in the School. They were run by the girls, who arranged everything very satisfactorily. Both clubs held tournaments, Heather Leslie, t.he Senior President, defeated Sheila O'Grady in the finals, and Eunice Treleaven and Ruby White jointly won the Junior championship. SKATING ...i X rink was constructed this year over the tennis court, and the girls derived much pleasure from it. In spite of the severe weather both Seniors and Juniors were able to skate at noon and after school, substituting their basketball for more exhilarating exercise out of doors. BASKETBALL . . . This year opened with three vacancies in each of the teams, these were soon ably filled by Phoebe Morris, Vivienne Durden and Margaret Martin for the first, and Muriel Richards, Marjorie Chisholm and Jocelyn Richardson for the second. During the Winter Term the School played the Old Girls in three practice matches, these afforded much enjoyment, and very valuable experience in tactics and teamwork, which the School teams were able to use to advantage. In the Easter Term the School played against St. Mary's Academy. The first match was played away, St. Mary's winning both first and second team games by a close margin. lVhen St. Mary's came to Rupertfs Land, our first team won by one point, the second team game being won by the visitors. Both matches were keenly contested, and very much enjoyed by players and spectators. The matches against Riverbend School had, unfortunately, to be cancelled. Both teams showed marked improvement in tactics, team- work, and the general standard of play was raised as each individual became more controlled and skilful. This term an extra period for games was arranged for the Juniors, in which they learn ball handling, footwork and the fundamental technique of the gamcfso we are hoping to have many keen enthusiasts to choose out teams from in future. clI'lif'fl'lvSIll fy' Isl' Ifrlskclhnll VI Jumping Centre-Betty Parker fCaptainJ plays a. very good game, she is quick at seizing any opportunity, and helps the team by carefully distributed passes. ller shooting is quick and accurate, and her speed never flags. Right ForwarclfSheila 0'Grady plays a careful controlled game, is a good shot and can always be depended upon in emergencies. Left Forward-Phoelme Morris has worked hard to control her movements about the court. She scores baskets from unusual angles, and has definitely justified her selection for the first team. Running Centre-Yivicnne Durden plays a good game, is always working to make openings for her forwards, and she combines well with the other members of the team. Right Guard-Ruth Hoskin is a keen, interested player, and combines well with her other guard. She should aim at greater accuracy in ball-handling. Left Guard-Margaret Martin co-operates well with other members of the team, especially in back passes from the forwards. She guards closely and well. She is still too tense during matches, which causes undue fatigue. .Bud Basketball VI Jumping Centre-Muriel Richards CCaptainD. Although very much improved, she must be quieter on the court. Her shooting is good and her distribution of the game is well planned. Right Forward-Maryon Weiss, although an erratic player, she works hard, and her game is improving. She scores some very good shots. Left Forward-Lois O'Grady plays a good game, her shoot- ing is accurate and she co-operates well with the other members of her team. Her game shows great promise. Running Centre-Marjorie Chisholm's game will be greatly improved when she is more controlled on the court. She is a quick and energetic player and soon should be a very valuable member to her team. Right Guard-Gwen Sherstone is a useful member of the team. A greater variety of passes would improve her game. Footwork is much improved. Left Guard-Jocelyn Richardson co-operates well with her other guard, she must practise getting back to her forward quickly after helping with an attacking movement. She is a keen member of the team. Substitutes-Betty Burman, Stephanie Richards, Beth Tooley, Madeline Taylor and Ruby White have all attended practices well, and played energetically. We regret that there are not places in the teams for these enthusiasts, but we will wish them good luck for next season. C,iYMNASTICS . . . The four extra gym classes, i.e., Midgets, Juniors, Intermediates and Seniors, have all done Well this year, the Midgets working hard to learn the fundamentals, while the Seniors tackle long fly and reverse hanging. All classes are well attended, and there is great enjoyment to be derived from these bi-weekly classes. DANCING , . . The aim of Natural Movement dancing is to train beauty in action and appreciation of music. With this foundation the Seniors have learnt a vigorous semi-character dance to a Strauss waltz. The Juniors and Intermediates, although still struggling with the technique, have greatly improved and are doing delightful work. The Juniors are learning the art of music, which is a stimu- lant to self-expression and imagination. Swedish folk dancing and other national dances are also included in these classes. The helpful co-operation of Miss Waldon as accompanist, has added to the general enjoyment and progress of the dancers. FIRST TEAM SECOND TEAM .lliss H, JI. Lnnkestcr fC'nuchp .lliss H. ilf.
