THE EAGLE 31 CAPTAIN BLUEBIRD PATROL: LEADER SECOND SHAMROCK PATROL: LEADER SECOND RED RosE PATROL: LEADER SECOND N I N T H COMPANY GIRL GUIDES .......Miss Graham .... Mary Tomkins ........Ruth Thompson .......Margaret Tomkins .... Vilinona Ross ......Anne Duifin Best THE past year has been another event- ful one for the Ninth Guide Company. VVe welcomed a number of new members: Gwen Fowell, Anne Edmond, Kirsten An- derson, Christine Bridgett, Margaret Kil- lick and June Sinden, also Aileen Dicken- son, Marianne Burwood, Ruth Stiles and Valerie Dadd, all of whom came to us from England. Early in the first term the whole com- pany went on a picnic to River Avenue Park. Vile had a ve-ry enjoyable afternoon and evening, playing all sorts of games, and ending up by eating our picnic supper. The day was such a success that we had another expedition later when we went on a hike and wiener roast on the river bank, when Madam Rooke visited us. A great deal of work was accomplished during the year by the company, a number of tenderfoot tests and second class badges being won. Many proficiency badges were also gained, including the laundress', knit- ter's, book-lover's, child-nurse, cOok's and needlewoman's tests. Some first class tests were attempted and passed by some of the members. Just before Christmas our company took part in the National Guide eifort to sell cookies for war charity. Each of us sold quite a number of boxes, and be- tween us we made a considerable sum. At Christmas we prepared and sent a hamper as usual to a poor family. Besides food the hamper contained clothes and toys for each child, and we hope it con- tributed to their happiness this year. Each patrol made a complete outfit in- cluding skirt, sweater, socks, cap, mitts and pyjamas for a young Brownie in Britain. When we entered them for the competition in March, we were delighted td find that we had been awarded honor- able mention. Mary Tomkins, senior patrol leader, won her gold cord, bringing great honor to the company. The cord was presented at a ceremony in the Christmas term when the enrollment also took place. Members of the staif, guides and the guides' parents were present at the ceremony, and refresh- ments were served afterwards. We are all very proud of Mary who has been a mem- ber of our company for a long time, con- tributing a great deal to its achievements. Unfortunately our captain, Miss Gra- ham, had to leave at the beginning of the summer term on account of ill health. We shall all miss her greatly, for Miss Graham has been our captain for several years, and anything we have achieved has been due to her. We all wish her the best of luck in the future. Fortunately we hope to have as our new captain Miss Joan Macaw, an Old Girl and gold corder. We would like to extend thanks to Miss Far- aday who has given up a great deal of her time to training us for badges and testing. We have done a good year's work and hope toj do still better next year, always remembering that a good guide should, like her motto, Be Prepared. Anne Duifin
