We welcomed Mary Bays, Pat Wilson, Pam Goodman and Anne Duflin to the com- pany. Anne came to Winnipeg from England and we hope we have made her happy here. Our first expedition was a wiener roast on the banks of the Assiniboine River. We had a sing-song, and I think I am right in saying we all had a very good time. Again this year we packed a hamper of food, clothes and toys for a family. It was delivered in the Christmas holi- days and the family was very grateful. held at Riverbend School at which Ruth Fryer, a last year's Guide, received her gold cord. Princess Alice and Mrs. Warren, President of the Guides, spoke over the radio. All English Guides were welcomed, and after seeing a pageant we went home. At the end of the term Betty Jo Ball, Jennifer McQueen and Miriam Baker flew up from the Brownie Pack. Later on Jane Wallace and Rosemary Wat- kins joined us. They were all good Brownies and are on their way to make good Guides. The Easter Term started with fun and enjoyment, for, shortly after school began, we went on a toboggan party which was a great success at River Park. We attended a very impressive serv- ice in memory of Lord Baden-Powell. We were not as succe-ssful in the swimming races as in previous years, due to only one person entering, but we will go on trying to do better. The Red Cross work done for the Guides is not very much, but I know the girls are handing in many articles through school branches. An afghan was made by the Guides and it looks very lovely. ' Gertrude Hoppins left the company to join the Cadets, and we wish her every success. Already she is a leader of one of the patrols. On Friday, April 25, the Governor- General and Princess Alice paid a visit to Winnipeg. The all-round cord Guides of Winnipeg formed the guard of honor for the Princess at the Fort Garry Hotel at noon. Mary and Margaret Tomkins were present. Later gold corders and
