Phyllis Goulding Margaret Milner SECRETARY-TREASURER........MUYdlDtl MacKay .0 HIS year has proved a very successful one for Dalton. 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

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.

24' RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL Our sports this year have not been as successful as other years, but our deck- tennis and tennis games have yet to be played and we hope to be successful in them. The following girls took part in the games:-Shirley Claydon, Eithne Mills, Evelyn Murray, Ainslie Lee, Pam. Pilkie, Christine Bridgett, Monica Powell and Susi Eismann. Providing the weather is fine we hope to hold our annual picnic for the House executive. We wish to extend our sincere thanks to Shirley Claydon, who has worked faith- fully throughout the past year. Our best wishes also go to our dependable president Miss Bussell and to her associates Miss Ralston and Miss Armitage, for their help to us throughout the past year. To all our members we wish the very best of luck in the future. V Venetta Booth, CSecretaryj MACH RAY HOUSE PRESIDENT ......................................

SECRETARY ................... . ............. .Jane Grimble 40 WHEN school reopened last September, Machray House found that many of her members had leftg those of us who re- mained waited anxiously to see which of the new girls would take their places.. Finally the list was posted-sixteen new members. XVhat would they think of us and we of them? As the months have passed we have learned the answer to the latter half of the question-they are a great asset to the house and we are glad to have them. Clf you are curious re- garding the other point you will have to ask the girls themselvesj Close co-Operation and willingness to put the House first have characterized the year's activities. In September we had a get-together picnic at Assiniboine Park,- that was for fung our later efforts, al-' though they brought us enjoyment, were for serious purposes. In November, at the House Drama Festival, Machray girls di- rected by Dorothy Petrie, produced The Bishop's Candlesticks. At the Mission Tea everyone worked SO whole-heartedly that a smoothly efficient service resulted. In sports our new-comers, together with the old timers, have managed to improve the quality of our performance so that we were second in the House Basketball Com- petition, altogether we have had a satis- factory year. Now, at the end of the term, what can we who stay say to the girls who go? Just this: VVe liked having you with us, we give you our best wishes, and we shall try to carry on so that you will always be proud to say that you were in Machray.
