RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL 21 The year 1958-1959 has been a most successful one for Machray, for in the past two terms it has held first place in the final House results. This has been due .to the good work and conduct of its members together with an excellent sports record, which included the highest points at Sports Day and in the Inter-house,Basketball Matches. f -' At the annual Mission Tea, Machray showed ,itself to' be as capable and efficient in serving tea as in running and jumping. This House also had charge of a most popular candy lstalli stocked by contributions from girls throughout the School. A j 3 At the annual family party -a House Picnic at Assiniboine Park-the junior and senior members became much better acquainted. To anyone who saw how well the juniors managed their part in the games, there is no question of the future sports accomplishment of the House, but who would have thought that one of the seniors in a moment of stress would forget how to knot her tie, or that our captain in a caterpillar race could look just like a measuring worm? Now at the close of the year appreciation must be expressed to the Staff members and the Executive for all they have done to make 1958-1959 most successful 3 particular mention might be made of Sarah Grimble, our captain, and of Eunice Treleaven to whose organization our excellent results in sports are largely due. Mention must also be made of the splendid co-operation and enthusiasm on the part of all the girls as they worked and played for The House. Keep trying Machrayl May the succeeding years be even more satisfactory. GLQQD MATHESON HOUSE President .................... Miss SHARMAN Staff Associates ........ .....

Miss Sharman has led us through the year, and we were happy to welcome two new staff members, Miss Eldred and Miss 'Dubois. We began the year with a picnic at River Park, at which everybody seemed tolenjoy themselves im- mensely. At the Annual Mission Tea, we shared the dining room with Dalton House, and did well with the shadow play put on in the kindergarten by members of the House. Although we did our best at Sports Day we came third. We won the volley-ball matches tour specialtyj and came third in the basket-ball and fourth in the badminton matches. We feel that we have a chance to do well in the tennis and deck tennis matches.

20 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL was carried in by her god-parents and dumped into a bath to represent the House being christened. We note with sorrow on the tenth anniversary of our House, the passing of its original Captain, Miss Holditch, who was succeeded by Miss Bartlett, and in 1956 by Miss Bussell, our present President. A In September we welcomed Miss Ralston, a new member of the Staff to our House and also several new girls, and extend our apprecia- tion to Miss Bussell and Miss Armitage for the help they have given us this year. The annual Zenana Mission Tea was held on November 26. From the sepulchral voice of a weird, bejewelled figure Qsuspected to be Miss Armitagej guests learned their fate, a very popular diversion, which contributed to the 5556.58 collected by Iones House. The sports of the House did not prove a feather in our cap, however, conduct and marksdid their best, giving us second place for the first two terms. 4 ' Owing to the changeable weather of the late winter we decided to postpone our winter tramp in favour of a summer picnic, to be attended by both seniors and juniors on May 20 at City Park. Good luck to all our members-those who are leaving us and those who will be here to carry on the good work next year. C-L60 . MACHRAY HOUSE' nf- l J President ................. Miss A. C.

22 RUPERT'S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL r 'nv 1 r Our work has pulled us up, and we are proud of it, but we admit with shame that it has been mostly our conduct that has pulled us down. The House this year feels honored and is very grateful to His Grace, Archbishop Matheson, for the scholarship which is to be given to a girl in Matheson House. Our members are proud of this, and each will do her best to win this scholarship. We hope that this year the House will come first with flying colors and-the best of luck to our members always!
