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. Enid Hoover, CSecretary-Tre-asurerh .

The grand total was the marvelous sum of 522050.

Lillian Rut- tan, Marjorie Thompson U! GOOD work, good conduct, good fel- lowship,-these have been the out- standing achievements of Machray dur- ing this year. Coupled with these has been a spirit of willing co-operation evident whenever a house project has been undertaken. At the beginning of the Fall Term we found that several of our last year's seniors had left us, and that, due to her transfer to Dalton, our juniors would no longer have Mrs. Purdie's thought- ful care. However, those who remained carried on. At the School Sports Day in Septem- ber everyone turned out to help, 'and although our total score was not high, there was no lack of effort. Again at the Mission tea, Machray showed that its members could work, in addition to our tea table we united with Dalton in arranging a very successful candy sale. This year we have inaugurated an Oldtimers' League, made up of girls who have been in the house at least six years. The present members are: Roberta Wilcox, member since 1932, Anne Cunningham and Margaret Tom- kins, since 19335 and Dorothy Mae Longstaffe and Margaret Stovel, since 1934. With such worthy veterans and equally zealous although newer mem- bers, how can Machray be anything but successful? Margaret Stovel, CSecretaryJ . MATHESON HOUSE President ........ ........

Once more we found ourselves at the top of the list on the inter-house sports day. We placed first in basketball, second in volleyball and third in bad- minton, and there is still tennis to be played. In contrast to our sports it is our conduct which has been very poor this year. Mary Tomkins won the scholarship last year, awarded by Archbishop Math- eson, to the girl who is of outstanding merit and sportsmanship. Matheson and Dalton Houses shared the dining-room at the annual Mission tea, and we were thoroughly pleased with the result. Once again Dorothy King directed successfully a shadow play entitled, The Sleeping Beauty. We still have one more term to pull up our conduct, and we hope to be able to carry away the shield again this year. Ann Denison CSecretaryD.
