M. Prockett, formerly Minerva Porter, who left for Fort William in January to be married, and we wish her the best of luck. Miss Florence Windatt kindly consented to be her successor, and with her the Alumnae has now completed a very successful year. The annual meeting for 1940 was held October 7th, 1940, at the school, and the Alumnae welcomed many of last year's graduates. The activities of the year which were reviewed, proved satisfactory iinancially as well as socially. The annual prayers held last May and the June Church Day had been well attended, and as usual, flowers had been placed on Miss Jones' grave. On November 22nd the Alumnae had a dance at the school which was again a very successful event. The committee, headed by Mrs. John Armytage, form- erly Betty McDonald, have to be congratulated on their hard work and splendid results. The net profit was 510500. Mrs. Prockett and Miss Bartlett received the guests. This year the Old Girls again bowed to the present girls in the annual basketball game, the score being, well - anyway the school won, but we will be back trying hard again next year. Last year the Rupert's Land Alumnae played the Riverbend Alumnae, both games being in our favor, and we hope to play them again very soon. The annual Alumnae luncheon was held this year on February 15th at Hud- son's Bay store. It was a hap-py reunion, as about 150 Old Girls turned up to see their old school chums. Miss Audrey Fisher was chairman and introduced the two spe-akers, Miss Charlotte Counsell, who spoke of her experiences when she was nursing with Queen Alexandra's Nursing Sisters in Australia, and Mrs. Garbutt, formerly Miss Colcleugh, who has just recently returned from England and who told us of her experiences during this war. .

THE EAGLE 23 Again this year we rec-eived a Christ- mas card from Miss Dalton for whom our house was named. She wished us luck for our house in the future, Miss Dalton has always been so kind to us, and urges us to come and see her when- ever we are in Vancouver. In the inter-house sports day we came up from last year to a very close second,-as a matter of fact there were only two points between us and Mathe- son House which stood first. At Christ- mas we were all very pleased when we discovered that our house was first for the term. Second term basketball, volleyball, and badminton were enthusiastically supported, we were not very lucky in basketball or volleyball, as we only stood third in both of these, however, we were first in badminton by a large margin, having on our team outstand- ing players, including Vivian Basford, the junior Manitoba champion. At the end of the second term, however, we found that we had slipped to second place. In conclusion I would like, on behalf of the house, to thank Miss Turner, our President, Kaye Milner, our Captain, also Miss Herkes and Mrs. Purdie for their unceasing work on behalf of our house. We are all proud of the work which our house has done in the past and I am sure that we shall have just as much reason for pride in the future.

At the opening meeting on September 9, Monica welcomed the new girls, and then introduced Mary Medland as the new active House Cap- tain. We are very proud of Mary, as she has been a pupil in Rupert's Land all her scho-ol life, and receives much credi-t for the improvements in the house. Our sports, this year, have been one of our highlights. We came first in volleyball and second in both basket- ball and badminton. Our tennis and HOUSE deck-tennis games have yet to be played, and we hope to be just as successful. The following girls took part in the various inter-house games: Lillian Hultman, Mary Medland, Dor- ene Waddell, Evelyn Murray, Monica Mackersy, Anne Duffin, Mary Doris Le Roy, Alice Calof, Pam Pilkie, Ains- lie Lee, and Enid Hoover. The Zenana Mission tea, which was very successful, was held on Nov. 163 Jones House had charge of the fish- pond, and also a fortune doll, which Miss Graham made. Both these attrac- tions made a total of about twenty-five dollars. Providing the weather is fine, we hope to have our annual summer picnic in the near future. This will be at- tended by both Senior and Junier girls. We wish to extend our thanks to Mary Medland, who has so faithfully fulfilled her duties as House Captain, and also to our President. Miss Eus- sell, and her associates, Miss Armitage and Miss Ralston, for their guidance throughout the year. As always, we wish the best of luck for the future to all our members.
