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!

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.

RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL 25 fourteen years and under. Laurel Bell and Patricia Purdie were the finalists, and after a very good game, Laurel succeeded in winning the Iunior Tennis Championship. Unfortunately we have not held our Senior Tournament as yet, but hope to very shortly as we are expecting keen competition. Infer-Home Sporzir . . . Gur annual sports meet, which is one of the outstanding events of the year, was held on Friday afternoon, September 50. The weather was Hne, and this enabled parents and friends to come and watch. The competition between the Houses was very keen and there were several moments when it was impossible to know which House would be victorious. At the end of a strenuous afternoon the result was as follows: CD Machray .................... .... 4 6 points 12, Matheson ................. ,... 4 2 points GD Dalton ..... .... . . .... 58 points MD Iones ......................................... 56 points Bawkefball . . . Great enthusiasm, especially in the Middle School, has been shown for basketball this year, and in the future we should have no difficulty in selecting our teams. Some very good matches have been played by the lst, 2nd, and Iunior Teams, and we have enjoyed playing with Riverbend and St. Mary's Academy. During the season we have had three matches with the Old Girls and after a very hard struggle in the final match, we managed to win both lst and 2nd team cups. The inter-form basketball games were played during the Spring term and Grades V to XII participated. We congratulate Grade XI on winning the form basketball title. 4-. 9. Lri Ba.rkez'ball Team A G.
