R UTH FRYER Our first big effort was for the inter-house Sports' Day on October 6. VV e were quite successful in the Final totals, coming second with fifty-one points, just six points behind the winner, Matheson. The Mission Tea, in preparation for which committees were busy for weeks, was very well managed, due to zealous officers and the girls' co-operation. As well as the act11al tea-table, Machray sponsored a candy-stall, to which any member of the school could contribute candy. Its results were better than we had hoped, and our final profit was more than 32400. We would like to thank our friends who poured for us, and all the other guests who made such satisfactory results possible. Machray's sports have not been so successful as last year, although we came second in the deck-tennis tournaments, we have, however, kept a high work average and set a record in conduct. During the autumn term we had twenty-nine detentions, and in the Easter team only twenty-eight, with no order marks in either. Con- gratulations, girls, and do the same next year. The date of our annual picnic has been set for the afternoon of Friday, May 31, at Kildonan Parkg we expect to have a wonderful time.

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.

Again this year we had the honor of having the Head Girl as Honorary Captain. For the first time in history, Matheson was top House on Sports' Day, and first in Basketball and Deck Tennis, third in Badminton, and Tennis has still to come. Due to the good work of all the girls and to our sports, we have managed to hold first place, too. in Term results. Though our conduct has not been a help, we still hope we have a good chance to win back the Shield. A At the Mission Tea Matheson shared the Assembly Hall with Jones. and gave a Shadow Play Cinderella, directed by Dorothy King. Thus far this year we had only one party, the Junior House, when after fun tobogganing at River Park. the Juniors came back
