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.

LILLIAN HULTMAN Due tO the absence of our President, Miss Bussell, at our opening meeting in September, her associates, Miss Armitage and Miss Ral- ston carried on most efficiently until her return from overseas in November. They helped us in welcoming our new girls, amongst whom is One from Japan, and one from Germany. Sports again this year did not prove to be our strong point, but tennis and deck-tennis are still to be won, and herein, we are hoping, lies our chance to obtain the missing three points which will bring us up to first place. At the Zenana Mission Tea held on November 18, our added attraction was the raflling of a large fruit cake, which was won by Mrs. G. H. Florance, and which contributed 955.00 to our handsome total of 354550. VVeather permitting, we hope to have our annual summer picnic in the near future, which will be attended by both Senior and Junior girls. l We wish to extend our thanks to Monica Mackersy, who has so faithfully fulfilled her double duties, as both our House Captain and Sports Captain, and as always we wish the best of luck to all our members. lWiARY NIEDLAND CSecretaryj.
