RUPERT's LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL 19 school production of Prunella in january. She made considerable progress in the art of spoken poetry when she was younger-and less busy-and will surely find time in the future to develop her undoubted talent. It is in her capacity as Head Girl that she has perhaps meant most to us, however, because that has given her daily contact with the whole schoolg we have all benefitted by her wise counsel. admired her resolution and independence, and appreciated the unseliish zeal and interest which she has so consistently displayed in all school affairs. VVe wish her all success in her future career which we shall watch with great interest, knowing that there will always remain unbroken a strong link between herself and the School.-S.l.l.T. . .1T,T. ALUMNAE NOTES This year our annual luncheon was held at Moore's Coffee Shop and it proved to be most successful. The rooms were Hlled to over- flowing, and about 148 old girls and staff were present. Miss Bussell gave an interesting talk on her year in England and her eventful trip home. On November 3rd we had a Dance at the school and its popu- larity exceeded all our hopes. This was largely due to a junior com- mittee who worked very hard, and as our money-making venture for the year it netted us 33160.00 ,The Alumnae, who always give one annual scholarship for the school, decided last year to give another award of 310000, but with war intervening it was understood it must be voted on annually. This is presented in memory of Miss C. M. Holditch. who gave so many years of loyal service to the school. This year it will be competed for in Grade 9.

RUPERT's LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL 21 Dalton House has had a very good year. We started poorly by coming last in the Sports' Day held in October, with only 19 points to the winner's 58, but it gave us the enthusiasm to work hard until, at the end of the Easter term, we were only three points behind the winning House, placing second. We mean to gain those few marks through the tennis and deck-tennis tournaments and come out on top. The various ways in which we won points through sports were in basketball, badminton, volleyball and the different races and relays on Sports' Day. The girls worked hard, not only for marks, but for the fun of it all. A few names which stand out in particular of those shining in sports are: Jean VVoodman: our Sports' Captain who so ably arranged teams, practices, etc. Vivian Basford: splendid badminton player, also on volleyball and basketball teams. Helen Martin: badminton, basketball and volleyball. Phyllis Goulding: badminton, volleyball and also took second place in two events on Sports' Day. Pat Purdie: volleyball and took second place in event of Sports' Day. Jocelyn Highmoor: badminton. Elizabeth Goulding: badminton and volleyball. Pam Smith: First in event on Sports' Day. But there were many, in fact all the girls in the House who helped one way or another. Those who did not get detentions or order marks during the year helped immensely because such marks for bad conduct pull down an average which would otherwise be high. The annual Mission Tea in November found more girls willing to help in the many things which were to be done, from the making of aprons and decorations for the table to the actual work done at the Tea. Dalton House had the Common room for fortune-telling thy palm and cardsj which brought in a tidv sum of money. There was also a fortune doll which had a skirt of fortunes written on brightly colored paper. From this also a surprising sum was collected. At this Tea the mothers of the Dalton members helped in pouring tea and in the fortune-telling. VVe would like to thank those kind ladies for giving up their time for us and we also give our deepest apprecia- tion to all those who came and made the Tea so successful. In the deck tennis tournament Dalton placed last though it was only eight points behind the winning house. The tennis tournament has begun and our hopes are again rising high. A picnic has been planned for May 31st at City Park where we all will plav various games and enjoy a meal together. And in closing I wish to express the feeling of gratitude of the whole house to Pat Parrish, our Captain, for her helpful leadership during the year and also to Miss Turner and the prefects for their work during the season.
