RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL THE HEAD GIRL W E say goodbye in June to Kaye Milner who has been our Head Girl during the current year, and we thank her for all she has done for us in the many branches of school activities. She has good executive ability which she displayed as secretary of the High School Congress, as Vice- president of the School Literary Society., and as Captain and Honorary Captain of Dalton House. Kaye has taken part in inter-school debates in which she has shown abil- y ity. She won her second . Basketball team colors this year, and has played con- sistently on her House KAYE MILNER teams in basketball, tennis, ' badminton, volley-ball and deck-tennis, besides being a good gymnast and a skilful amateur pho- tographer. As a member of Eaton's Junior Fashion Council, Kaye has had experience in modelling, commenting and window-dressing, she and her partner won first prizes for windows showing a girl's fall wardrobe, and the furniture and decoration of a girl's bedroom. Kaye intends to develop her talent in this direction, and to study the design, displaying and buying of women's clothes. VVar-service has already claimed much of Kaye's leisure, as she has been a member of the Vitai Lampada group of the Winnipeg Women's Airforce Auxiliary. She hopes to play an even more active part in voluntary war-work in the future. In character Kaye is blessed with plenty of level common-sense and practical ability, as well as an appreciation of the artistic, a warm heart and a sense of humor. She has a good deal of poise which makes up for a lack of inches, and is altogether a person who is likely to make for herself a very definite place in the world, and to fill it admirably. Vile shall miss her next year, remembering her with affection and following with interest and pride her future which we hope will be both happy and prosperous. S. LL. T.

THE EAGLE 21 I was especially pleased and somewhat proud when I was' given my place directly behind the Earl of Athlone. He probably did not even see me, but I am certain that I could relate almost every move that he made. One thing that I noticed in particular, was a gorgeous silk handkerchief that he used to clean off his glasses, it was a paisley pattern of sand and red, with a huge scarlet border. I thought to myself when I saw it that His Excellency must be a man who loves bright colors, and there he sat in a khaki uniform, void of any bright shades. This year, with the coming of rationing and other things, we perhaps realize more than ever before that our country and homes are in great danger. Some of us have had very little taken from us, some have suffered a great deal, but I believe that we now know the graveness of the situation which is confronting us. Most of us have done our Red Cross duties, bought war stamps and helped out in other war projects, but we must realize that in order to win this war, we must do even more outside work. VVe may think that it is difficult for us to do both school work and war work, but knowing that our fellow countrymen are giving their lives for us, our task of doing school work and war work seems very small. As Head Girl of Rupert's Land School. I have had a very interesting- and happy year. Some of my duties were new to me, but with Miss Bartlett's capable leadership and the helpfulness of the staff, the duties were soon made easier. I would also like to thank the: prefects and girls who so earnestly and eagerly helped me in many ways. Being Head Girl is a wonderful experience, and has taught me many things. I would like to wish all the graduates the best of luck in their future positions in life. I know that the girl who is chosen as Head Girl for 1942-43 will have a wonderful year, full of a great many thrills, and I wish her every success there is. Here's wishing Good Luck, Happiness and Success to all Rupert's Land! KAYE MILNER CHead Girlj OBITUARY With deep regret we record the death of Archbishop Matheson, one of the oldezt and most interested friends of the School. For many years, until ' his retirement from office, he was Chairman of the Board of Rupert's Land School, and under his wise direction the school grew and prospered. After his retirement, he continued his support and help in many ways: each year E16 presented a Bible as a prize for Scripture anzl also a Scholarship in Matheson House, and his kindly interest in the winners was shown by per- sonal letters to them. His loss will be felt keenly by all who knew him, and Rupertis Land School will ever remember Archbishop Matheson as a sincere friend and generous benefactor.

We have also had the honor of having the head girl, Kaye Mil- ner, as our Honorary Captain. At the Annual Mission Tea, held on February 14-th, Dalton and Matheson Houses again shared the dining-room making over seventy-five dollars between them. All the houses combined forces in the smaller efforts-a. candy sale, selling ice cream, showing films, and fortune telling-and the plan worked very well, Due to bad weather there was no inter- house sports day. However there was an inter-house Drama Competition which was initiated this year. Each house elected a producer who chose the play and her cast. Our producer was Kaye Milner who chose Lord Dunsany's A Night at an Inn. In this competition Dalton came third with 82 marks. Margaret Milner was com- mended for giving the best performance of a male part. In sports the volleyball, basketball, and badminton games, and shooting competi- tion were well supported as usual. In the badminton matches we came Hrst, in the volleyball matches we came second, in the basketball third, and in the shooting com- etition fourth. However some of these were very close to the other houses for in the Hnal aggregate of points for these sports we came in second. Our work and conduct was quite good in the lirst two terms, for both times Dalton gained the most points for the term, however the school year is not yet ended, and the final result remains to be seen. Also, on behalf of the girls, I should like to thank Miss Turner, Marilyn Mclvor and Kaye Milner for their good work dur- ing the year, and to wish luck to next year's Dalton House.

At the opening meeting on September 11, 19441, we welcomed Shirley Claydon as our new House Captain. The House is very proud indeed of Shirley who has been a pupil at Rupert's Land for six years. Last year Shirley was one of the Junior Lieutenants, and she has made great contributions to the advancement of the house. The House Dramatic Competition was held on November 15th, and was a great success as we placed second. The follow- ing girls took part in the play:-Joan Adamson, Shirley Claydon, Irene Williams, Christine Bridgett, Venetta Booth and Edith Sanderson as prompter, with Anne Dufin as producer. The Mission Tea was held on February 14th, in the school Assembly Hall. Jones and Machray Houses held their tables to- gether and netted the sum of 355800. f
