Lucas, Miss THE EAGLE 19 THE PRINCIPAIHS LETTER My dear Girls: AS we look back over the past year, we see . much that is encouraging. We have watched in admiration the heroic struggle of Russia, we have followed the rise to superiority of our air forces, the tremendous increase in output of our war factories, we have thrilled with wonder at that tremendous engineering feat-the construc- tion of the Alaska Highway-, we have felt the power of the dogged courage of China, and most recently we have rejoiced at the wonder- ful success of the British and American armies in Africa. Our spirits rise and our courage and determination to fight on are increased. Yet even at the same time as our energies are directed towards the achievement of victory in this war, we have in our mind the necessity of thinking beyond that time. At the recent Teachers' Convention held in Winnipeg the key- note of the whole programme was that of re- construction for the future. Guest speakers from - West, East and South, all dealt with this question from different aspects. Dr. Cyril James, Principal of McGill University, stressed the need of planning for Social Security, Dr S. R. Laycock of the University of Saskatche- wan, thought of the need for improvement in our methods of education chieliy from the standpoint- of psychology, while from Minnesota came Dr. Theodore Brameld, em- phasizing the same point of view. And these are just a few of the many men and women whose minds are occupied with these extremely important things. They challenge us all, and we must have these matters in mind too. And I know that you have. Some of the best moments this year have been those when you girls and I have discussed some of these problems, often in class time and also in groups of two or three outside the classroom.. You are thinking and honestly making an effort to prepare yourselves to serve your generation. Some of you are looking forward to going into Social Welfare work, and we are so delighted that a school of Social Service is to be established at our own University of Manitoba. It is my hope that some of you will be working in that school very soon, as soon as you can obtain the necessary qualifica- tions to enter it. The field of Social Service is one which will widen rapidly and which needs well-trained personnel so much. And though many of you will probably be serving in one or other of the Women's Forces until after the war, yet do not forget this other field which will always need workers. I am so glad that the Alumnae Association is preparing an Honour Roll of all our old girls serving in the Navy, Army or Air Force. We are most proud to see how many of our girls are taking their places, as officers or in the ranks, among the women who are doing such fine work. All our best wishes go out to them wherever they may be. And let the rest of us see to it that we do our best to be worthy of the efforts of our men and women of the Armed Forces, and- that we are ready to carry on the work of reconstruction for the future and to face with well-equipped minds the great problems that will be ours when victory is won. V Yours affectionately, ELSIE M. BARTLETT 20 RUPERTJS LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL EDITORIAL T? S I write this editorial, I find that my interests'as a student of this school are bound up in several things. This year, as in former ones, the war holds. the stage as one of the most important factors in our every day lives. Daily we expect to hear news of an allied invasion of Europe which must occur before the Nazi War machine can be decisively beaten and crushed. Also this year the gallant stand of our Russian allies, the success of the North African campaign, and progress of the Americans in the Far East are acting as an incentive to give us fresh hope and determination to end the war successfully and build a better world. Sir William Beveridge's plan for social security in which he attacks Want, the root of the attendant evils, squalor, poverty, disease and idleness, opens a vista of hope and change of the utmost national importance. While as yet it has not the sanction of law, the British Parliament has adopted the plan in principle, and it may be 'that it will go down in history in the same category as Magna Carta-a charter not of the nobles this time, ibut of the working-man, the common people. There is also the Marsh plan for Canada, modelled on the Beveridge report, and the American plan for social improvement along similar lines, which shows clearly the extensive realization of the need for domestic reform existing in even the most: progressive countries in the world today. In the meantime, for us who are still concerned wi'th learning and Watch- ing, rather than acting, it opens a new field of speculation, and coincides with the eager expectancy throbbing in many hearts, as this fourth year of war nears its end. Although the upset that war brings is inevitably reflected in our school life-school life continues. Yet both school and outside activities are often more varied, and often conditioned by the war. The United Service Ceiitre which opened in the Eaton's Annex this winter is proving a great success, in fact, its fine canteen and amazing murals have already become famous, but as well as providing a recreational centre for troops, it has incidentally opened the way to better international understanding, by offering to many girls, as hostesses, the opportunity of coming into contact with men from all over the world. Girls who are members of the Airmen's Club are indeed fortunate in meeting airmen from Occupied Europe, Free French, Netherlanders, Czechs, Poles, Norwegians, as well as the many English, New Zealand, and Australian boys, reciprocate our interest in them, by showing a definite gratitude to the members of these clubs who in their small way, act as ambassadors of good-will between the countries. Throughout the school Red Cross efforts have flourished, and the Grade Seven play from Dickens' Christmas Carol was a notable success in raising money for the Aid to Russia Fund. War savings have amounted to about 95850, and these activities, occasioned by the war, have not only raised money, but have also given scope for original ideas, and pleasure in their execution. ' As usual a series of interesting events occurred in the school this year. A Variety Show consisting of miscellaneous acts, provided entertainment for the partakers as well as the audience. Talent was drawn entirely from the girls, who Wrote and pro- duced their own acts. The staff play, The Playgoersf' was the main feature ofthe Variety Show-a reinstitution of an almost forgotten and most popular event. To the girls of the school especially it brought great joy, and I hope it will establish a custom to be observed in future years. ' 3 THE EAGLE 21 The House Drama Competition was again held this year, and was once more a great successg it was well attended by an appreciative audience who lived our drama, laughed at our comedies, and loved our fairy tale. Apart from the many Form and House parties which took place this year, we have enjoyed several school entertainments. First, there was the Initiation Party when the opening of the Club de Rupe delved into the fashion secrets of the roaring twenties, and at Christmas ,both juniors and seniors derived much pleasure from the annual parties given by Miss Bartlett and members of the staff. It was a great pleasure to welcome this year Miss Macdonald, Miss Smith, Miss Major, Mrs. Stevenson, Miss McMillan and Mrs. Derby, who have already become a part of the school. Miss Faraday's absence for the greater part of the mid-term, due to illness, was most regrettable but even in the face of this crisis school life continued as usual except for the omission of the annual gym display: and a great amount of credit it due to Lola Marson as school sports captain, who carried on and maintained the high degree of excellence in sports gained under Miss Faraday's guidance. The Inter-House sports all took place successfully and the first team managed to go through the season with- out a defeat. The. annual Old Girls' Match, played on March 26, was as usual an exciting and gay event, and happily for us ended in a win for both school teams. It is a great comfort for the school to know we are backed by such an enthusiastic alumnae and I am sure it is with great pleasure that we graduates look forward to joining this fine association and keeping in touch with the school. And so, despite the shadow of war hanging over us we have had a full and most enjoyable year-a year which I for onel am very sorry to see draw to a close, for it means the end of a. most pleasant and profitable period of my life. I find it difficult to express my appreciation of even being a member of this fine school, but it is im- possible for me to impart the great sense of honour I have felt in being Head Girl. To the girls, the prefects and the staff, I wish to extend my sincere thanks for the co- operation they have shown this year, and to Miss Bartlett my deep gratitude for her ceaseless understanding and guidance. As long as the girls of Rupert's Land continue to uphold the spirit of the Black and Gold War's annals will cloud into night Ere their story die. ANNE CUNNINGHAM fHead Girli. fvir 22 RUPERTJS LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL THE HEAD GIRL IKE many other Head Girls before her, eeee Anne Cunningham has been through the Junior, Middle and Senior Grades of R.L.S., and now, at the end of eleven years of school life, she may look back with pride on many personal achievements, 1 and with even more gratification on her personal contribution to the success and happiness of those with whom she has worked and played. Anne was a member of the original Junior Basketball team, and later became running-centre of the First team, besides playing volleyball, deck-tennis, badminton, and tennis for Machray House. Riding is Anne's favourite outdoor occupation, and her horse, Harkaway, is undoubtedly one of her most intimate friends. As Captain of Machray House from 1941-1942, Vice-President of the Literary Society, joint Editor of The Eagle and , as Head Girl in the curernt year, Anne has displayed initiative, resourcefulness and a ANNE CUNMNGHAM fine spirit of co-operationg she has a mind which is wide open Cat one end onlyj to new ideas. There is a bit of ,the revolu- tionary in Anne, beneath her calm exterior, and a considerable amount of sympathy with the under-dog. Although she has not decided what career to follow, after taking her degree in Arts at the University of Manitoba, she is determined to leave the world a better place than she found it. Music, literature and art are more than pleasant hobbies to Anne. The entries which won the Merle Sures Art Trophy in 1941 and 1942 proved her artistic abilityg some of her work is included in this publication, but her more ambitious illustrations in colour could not, unfortunately, be reproduced. We have seen develop in Anne many fine qualities which have combined to make her a person who will be greatly missed: shie has a store of quiet humour, a quizzical eye for the droll, acapacity for friendship, high ideals, ai sense of values. As she passes into the larger world beyond the gates of the school playground, she takes with her the affectionate good wishes for her future of all with whom she has been associated throughout her school life.

On the evening of October 30, we held a HallOwe'en party for the whole house in the common-roomy each girl brought sandwiches and cookies which she shared with her partner. Games were played which were loads of fun, and I believe everyone enjoyed herself immensely. An Inter-House Drama Competition was held again this year on November 21. Phyllis Goulding, our producer, chose the play, The Princess and the Woodcutterf' which came first, much to our delight. Nellie Elsey was commended for giving the best performance of a male part. Our annual Mission Tea was held this year on March 27. Dalton and Matheson again shared the dining-room, making over sixty-five dollars between them. We were very grateful to Mrs. Purdie for making a lovely cake which was raffied most suc- cessfully by Dalton House, and to the mothers and friends of the girls who so kindly poured for us. Our table looked very pretty with daffodils and our blue and silver colours. The hot tomato juice and bouillon which were served were much appreciated, as it was a cold day, and in spite of butter, tea and sugar rationing, very attractive refreshments were pro- vided by the members of the House. There was no Inter-House sports day- this year, but volleyball, basketball and badminton have been very popular. In the badminton matches we came first, and in both basketball and volleyball we came second. Our conduct and work has been quite good, too. When these were all totalled at Easter we found that we -had come first. Tennis and deck-tennis have not been played yet, and the final results of the third term are yet to be seen, but certainly Dalton may be very proud of its achievements so far. In conclusion, on behalf of the House. I wish to thank Miss Turner, Miss Herkes, Mrs. Purdie and Phyllis Goulding, as well as well as the other House officials, for their splendid work during the year. To all our members, and especially to those who are leaving us this June, we wish the best of luck for the future. PHYLLIS .O'CONNELL, CSecretary-Treasurerj.

We have said good-bye to both our last year's associatesg Miss Armitage left us at the end of June last year after seven years in which she worked faithfully for the House. At Christmas Miss Ralston left us to be president of Machray House. However we have had two new assocates, Miss Macdonald and Mrs. Derby to welcome to the House. For our play in the Dramatic Competi- tionf Anne Duffin, our producer chose the Russian mystic play, Michael, which re- 24 RUPERTJS LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL ceived a very favourable criticism from Mrs. Rutherford, the adjudicator. We placed second. Jones House has .been successful in volleyball this year, taking top honors. In basketball we placed third and in bad- minton fourth. Tennis and deck-tennis have yet to be, played and we hope with these we can raise our third place standing to second place. The annual Mission Tea was held in March this year. Jones and Machray shared the hall and together took in a very fine sum Of nearly seventy dollars. In February the members of Jones from grade nine up enjoyed a toboggan party at Polo Park. The party was very well attended and was a great success. At the end of another happy year I would like on behalf of the House to thank Miss Bussell, Miss Macdonald, Mrs. Derby and Anne Duffin for all their line co-operation and the help they have given the House this year. To the House graduates-Good-bye and good luck. CHRISTINE BRIDGETT, CSecretaryJ. MACHRAY HOUSE PRESIDENT .................................. Miss Ralston ASSOCIATES ........

We miss you, Miss Foster, and we all wish you the best of luck in future years. Shirley Potter and our new president Miss Ralston have really done their Work well. We are glad to welcome Miss Ralston and we hope she likes us as we like her. To get acquainted with the new mem- bers we held a party in two sections, one section for the juniors and one for the seniors. They were both enjoyed greatly and we thank Miss Gordon and Miss Smith for their co-Operation in making them a success. This year Machray stood third in the Dramatic Competition and with Jones House made a large amount of money from the annual Mission Tea. We were not as successful with our sports as in previous years, but with deck- tennis and tennis matches still to be played, we are hoping to gain some points. On behalf of the girls in Machray House I extend our sincere thanks to Miss Ralston and to Shirley, and I wish the best of luck to next year's Machray House.

As we near the close of the year we resolve to renew our efforts to bring our conduct, work and sports to the highest possible level and to do our best to win back the shield for Matheson! On behalf of the House I would like to thank Miss Sharman, Miss Eldred, Sheila and our executive for their efforts and the girls for their willing co-opera- tion. Good luck to our graduates and to Elizabeth Officer who left at Easter to begin work in a bank. JEANNE JOHNSON, fSec.-Treas. J. MISSIONS HE school has for a great many years supported missions at home and in India. This year we were successful in raising S169 at our Annual Mission Tea. Some of this money has been sent to the Zenana Bible and Medical Mission where it helps to support a girl in school, pays the salary of a teacher and maintains a cot in the hospital there. Some percentage of this money is donated to the Sunday School by Post where it helps provide essentials for the teachers. Home mis- sions are also supported. The girls are all interested in mission work and I feel that it will thrive next year as well as it did this year. MARGARET TOM KINS. THE SCHOOIRS WAR EFFORT Report of Junior Red Cross Society Work Sept. 1942-May 1943. HE girls throughout the school have been very much interested in, in fact, very keen about Red Cross work. A large number of knitted goods have been turned in: sweaters, scarves, helmets, socks. Six afghans and two quilts have been com- pleted. The Juniors, especially, have con- centrated on knitting babies' clothes, at which they are very skilful. Each grade has made a special effort to raise money for some war purpose, the total amount up to date being about 35113. Grades I and II have been busily col- lecting pennies for the Red Cross and knitting squares for afghans. They are always ready to support the efforts of other grades. Grades III and IV. have made two quilts, each with different figures sewn on, and have also made a sweater of knitted squares. A great deal of silver paper was collected. Grades V and VI have again divided themselves into the Army, the Navy and the Air Force. These groups compete to see who can collect the most knitting and War Saving Stamps. 37.41 was raised and donated to the Crippled Children's Fund and Russian Relief. A great variety of things has been ac- complished .by Grade VII. Parcels have 1 26 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, ScHooL been sent to English children and kit bags and cigarettes sent to service men. A trinket sale held the first term was a great success, 321.22 being raised. Under the direction of Miss Gordon the play, A Christmas Carol, was presented at which 319.11 was collected. We congratu- late the girls on thus raising over 340. A quiz programme was conducted by Grade VIII which proved very popular. It brought in a total of 35.10. At their doughnut sale 39.20 was raised. Small ditty bags containing such things as combs, handkerchiefs, tooth brushes, soap, were sent to children in bombed-out areas of England. Grade IX has been another very ener- getic group of people this year. First they had a sandwich sale at which 35.90 was made, and the following term a fashion show was held. Various clothes were modelled by the girls and 36.30 was col- lected. On Valentine's day cards were sent to children in hospitals. . n A very mysterious shirt was sent through the school on which each girl who wished sewed a contribution. At the end of its journey it weighted a considerable amount for it contained 36.10. This very original idea belongs to Grade X. In a candied-apple sale they sponsored 36.45 was raised. Two Christmas parcels were sent to service men. Grade XI has been very busy' this year knitting articles for service men. The Grade XII class-room was turned into a photography studio where both girls and staff had their photos taken. From this effort 316.00 was raised. Baseketball crests and school and house pennants have been made from which approximately 39.20 has been collected. 1942-43 has been a very successful year for the school Red Cross. Let's hope that next year we will accomplish even more!

Jones was the winner with 90 points and Matheson came second with 84 points. BADMINTON Three couples from each House again participated in the House Badminton and Matheson second with 67 points. Next term we are looking forward to the Junior and Senior tennis tournaments and House matches in tennis and deck- tennis, also our Gymnastic Competition which will be held May 20th. Qwing to Miss Faraday's illness for the greater part of the middle term the an- nual Gymnastic Display and Physical Training Competition was not held. How- ever splendid proof of Miss Faraday's excellent work and the loyal spirit of the school was found in the co-operation of the girls in her absence. LOLA MARsoN, C Sports Captainl. JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM 30 RUPERT's LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL TH:-: N I NTH COMPANY GIRL GUIDES O HE Ninth Company has made marked progress since its first meeting in September. At first the loss of many old members was keenly felt, but soon the new girls got into the swing of things, many recruits were made fully fledged Guides, and a large number have worked for and received proficiency badges. At the, beginning of the school year, Miss Faraday was kind enough to act as leader, and she did much hard work with us for which all the Guides are grateful. After Christmas our official Captain took over the Company - an old girl of the school, Mrs. John Armytageg Miss Jean Bullock has been her very capable lieut- enant, and under both leaders much valu- able work has been done. Since September the Guides have done various good deeds as a company. Before Christmas we collected from the neighbour- hood old toys which were later mended and used to make up for Santa Claus' war-time toy deficiency. Several of the girls gave up time on Saturday to' mend- ing these toys. One Saturday before Easter we collected fats for the Salvage Corps-enough I feel sure to have some effect on the enemy! Our parties this year have been few, but those we did have were fun. In the fall Miss Faraday took us on a hike along the river bank where we roasted weiners and also passed some second-class fire tests. Shortly before the Easter holidays the Guides were guests of the Brownies at their twenty-first birthday party. We served the lunch, played games and really had a wonderful time. All in all, the Ninth Company has had a very successful year. There are many new Guides, some second and first class badges in sight and possibly a gold cord on the way too. All join in thanking those who have helped us on our way, wishing them enjoyable summer holidays, and hoping that they will be with us next year. YVONNE CROSS. BROWNIE LAND ' ROWN MAGIC!

A magic word, a secret sign, a mushroom on a carpet green, Elves, Little People, Fairies, too, and Brown Owl to 'show us what to do, the meeting-hour flies by so fast! Why can it not go slowly past? Mrs. G. A. Rogers, Brown Owl, enrolled six new Brownies on December 15th: Annette Villarboito, Elizabeth Newman, Theresa Thain, Gwen Lexier and Donna Smith. To these especially, and to the 9th Pack, Mrs. Rogers, who through ill-health was unable to be with them after Christmas, sends this message: 66 We're quite aware we're rather small, But then we mean to grow, And though we haven't any wings, We know a heap of jolly things That fairy people know. On February lst Ann Drew and Gail Florance fiew to Guides. Mrs. MacDonald, Div. C, pinned on the wings. Mrs. Phipps Baker held the Brownies spell-bound while she told them a story. The 9th Brownie Pack celebrated their Twenty-first Birthday on April 12th with a Tea Party. Such fun, the school gave them a birthday cake with twenty-one candles! Only in Brownie Land can a seven year old celebrate a twenty-first birthday! Mrs. Semmens, THE EAGLE 31 Prov. C, and Mrs. MacDonald, Div. C, became fairies for the afternoon. On this happy occasion, Fairy Dawn, daughter of a former Guide of the 9th Company, was enrolled by Mrs. Semmens, assisted by Mrs. Holland, Brown Owl, 28th HNEWECHEWAH Pack who was a Brownie in the 1st Winnipeg Rupert's Land Pack.

DANCING, MUSIC AND ART ' 'DANCING' ' HIS year there have been two dancing classes, senior and junior, the former consisting of last year's senior and inter- mediate groups. Although four lessons were missed in February due to Miss Lloyd's illness, a Qfeat deal has been accomplished Csome of the seniors have even mastered their mercury skips, a feat comprehensible only to those who have attempted itj. The juniors, who have worked hard and done well, have spent much time on their exer- cises, thus attaining excellent grounding for future work. These accomplishments were displayed at the music, dancing and choral speaking recital on May 26th and 27th, when the juniors entertained with a lovely French Folk Dance, and the seniors proved their versatility .by combining graceful dancing and clever ball work. SHIRLEY POTTER. lilii a . MUSIC HIS year Miss Jackson has had a great many more pupils than she has had before, so Miss Macdonald has been her assistant, taking some of the junior pupils. We have had two Studio Club meetings, the first one was in December at the school, the second one in April at the home of Mrs. V. H. K. Moorhouse. At these meetings Miss Macdonald's piano and singing pupils took part. Some pupils participated in the Annual Music Festival at the Auditorium. Our outstanding representative was Lucille Smith who won the Higher Primary piano class and had a complimentary adjudica- tion. . We are having the annual Recital here at the school at the end of May, in which all pupils will take part. Most of the piano pupils are taking examinations, some in connection with the London Royal Schools of Music. some Manitoba, and the majority of girls the Toronto Conservatory of Music. A ' All the girls have done very well this year and a vote of thanks is due to Miss jackson and Miss Macdonald who have done such wonderful work this year. PAT Lows. ART HE art classes, under Mrs. Edwards' very able direction, have concentrated mainly on designs, snapshot drawings and handicrafts. The first grades have done some very interesting and original work in their art classes. For instance, one little boy, draw- ing an Easter card had a startling con- glomeration of color on each side of the card. Mrs. Edwards, puzzled, asked what it was, and the little boy explained on one side was the Lord jesus going up to heaven, while on the other were angels singing songs-but they could not be seen because they were behind the sky! 32 RUPERT s LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL Designs of different types have played an important part in the art of the Junior and Middle school. There have been done Mexican designs, potato prints and stylized or conventional animal and flower designs. Perspective drawing was an important phase in the art education of the elemen- tary grades. There have also been flower paintings, washes and snapshot drawings, done with different degrees of originality and skill. Grade VII has done some war posters and illustrations of proverbs. Grades IX to XII have concentrated mainly on clay pottery and other handi- crafts. There have been some excellent jars and bowls made, and the .best of these Mrs. Edwards is going to fire in her kiln. They will then be glazed during the last term. Some good snapshot drawings and designs have been done as yvell by the Senior class. ' The display of Art at' Prize-giving proved the success of the past year. NAOMI BOULTON. THE GLEE CLUB PRESIDENT ,,,.,,,,,,,,.,,,,.,, ,,,,,, B etty I-Iurst SECRETARY-TREASURER .,........ Mary Bennett EETING every Wednesday noon, the members of the '42-'43 Glee Club spent many enjoyable hours in singing. The Christmas term was especially suc- cessful, and culminated in the presenta- tion of selections at the Christmas con- cert: All Through The Night, Carr. for air and descant by W. G. Whittakerjg Gloria in Excelsis Deo, for soprano and altog A Merry Life ' and Greensleeves, both in unison. The Easter term was concerned wi singing many songs from The Treasu Book, with special work in canon sing- ing, and in the study of Down inthe Woodland, for soprano and alto, by Ed- ward Elgar. The last few weeks ,of our Easter term a few of the meetings were unavoidably cancelled. In spite of these breaks the last meeting was fairly well attended, and the singing renewed with cheer and vigour. We wish to thank Miss Jackson for her help during practices, and the officers of the club for their splendid co-operation during the term. A great deal of credit goes to the girls who rebound the song books and helped to keep the order throughout the term. music in T.F.M. DRAMATIC COMPETITION N November the twenty-seventh a successful dramatic competition was held in the school auditorium. Each house presented a play which was ably adjudi- cated by Mrs. G. Rutherford. The plays were chosen, directed and acted by mem- bers of the houses and were very admir- ably presented. Dalton House presented The Princess and the Woodcutterf' This fantasy was very pleasing and entertaining and ranked first of the four plays. The interpretation was perhaps the highlight of this play and this was due to the great skill which Phyl- lis Goulding showed in directing it. The characters played their parts with indivi- THE EAGLE 33 duality, and Nell Elsey was chosen as the best male actor of the plays for her por- trayal of the woodcutter. Those taking part were: Princess, ,lune Sinden, Woodcutter, Nell Elsey, Yellow Prince, Margaret Milner, Red Prince, Yvonne Cross, Blue Prince, Daphne Goulding, Queen, Gertrude Eland, King, Naomi Boulton. Michael, presented by Jones House offered a contrast, and although a difficult play, was very well performed. The play was capably produced by Anne Duffin and was placed second. The right atmosphere was created by effective lighting and music. Some of the acting especially was given high praise by Mrs. Rutherford. The cast was: Michael, Shirley Claydon, Aniuska, Ann Drew, Matryona, Patricia Gladstone, Simon, Ruth Stiles, Nobleman, Christine Bridgett, Servant, Ainslie Lee, Woman, Pat Love, First Child, Barbara Bathie, Second Child, Joanna Hollenberg. The Dear Departed, a comedy, was presented by Machray House. Shirley Pot- ter successfully produced the play which gained third place. The actors succeeded in giving a very comical presentation. Mar- garet Brown, for her performance, re- ceived the award for the best actress of the evening. The make-up, which was given praise, added greatly to the humour of the play. The cast was: Grandfather, Shirley Potter, Mr. Slater, Anne Cunningham, Mrs. Slater, Margaret Brown, Mrs. Jordan, Elizabeth Brown, Mr. Jordan, Patricia Chesshire, Victoria, Marianne Burwood. The Boy Comes Home was chosen by Matheson House and was ably produced by Sheila Hawkings and Lola Marson. The characters were very well portrayed, the actors being very natural. Praise was given to the acting and the choosing of the cast. Those taking part were: Uncle James, Lola Marson, Philip, Sheila Hawkings, Mrs. Higgins, Eliza- beth Officer, Mary, Ruth Mitchell, Aunt Emily, Judy Huntting. The auditorium was filled to capacity and the audience received the plays with enthusiasm. Mrs. Rutherford congratu- lated the girls on their performance and on the co-operation they showed in the presentation of the plays. The standard has risen from last year and it is hoped that it will continue to rise. NEL1. ELSEY. THE LIBRARY THE LIBRARY HE Library has been used extensively i for reference work this year. Girls studying history, music and many other subjects, are continually to be found there, but the novels, biographies and autobio- graphics have not been in use as much as one would have expected. This may be due to the fact that a new system has been adopted this year, by which Grades VII to XI have been provided with small libraries of their own, for the purpose of Home Reading, and have obtained a number of new and interesting books: The Story of Aircraft, Famous Cana- dian Stories, Pathfinders of the West, My Friend Flicka, A Labrador Doc- tor, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, In Scarlet and Plain Clothes, Robinson Crusoe, Little Women, Daddy Long Legs, Tanglewood Tales, The Citadel, Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, 34 RllPERT,S LAN-D GIRLS, SCHOOL Scarlet Pimpernel, King Solomon's Mines, The Good Earth, Flying Car- pet. This year we have been most fortun- ate in having in the library the interest- ing magazine, The Beaver , other copies of magazines which have been presented to us from time to time have also been in constant use. A donation of about fifty books has been made by both Miss Aud- rey Fisher and Mr. Carman. From Mrs. W. H. Collum have come several volumes of the Canadian Geographic Magazine, The Children's Plutarch and also a book- rack. We are very grateful for these valuable additions to our library. Miss Gordon has supervised the library again for us this year. We all appreciate her helpful interest, and hope that she will continue as Head Librarian next year. ELIZABETH BROWN. LITERARY SOCIETY NCTES HE membership of the Literary So- ciety this year has been good, thirty- five girls joining at the beginning of the year. Practically the full membership has attended each meeting. At one of the first meetings the following executive were elected: Hon. President, Miss Elsie M. Bartlett facclamationlg President, Miss S. Turner, Vice-President, Anne Cunningham, Se- cretary, Sheila Hawkingsg Treasurer, Christine Bridgett: Social Convener, Anne Duffin. A Owing to the drama competition held in November it was decided that the regular meetings of the society would not com- mence until the second term, and that the programmes would concern Prose and Poetry, as Drama has already been studied for the competition. Six meetings were held during the sec- ond term, the Hrst of which was taken by Miss Turner who gave us an introduction to Modern Poetry with examples of con- temporary poets' work. The following meetings were taken by Shirley Potter and Sheila Hawkings who spoke on Carl Sand- berg and Robert Frost, and Shirley Clay- den and Christine Bridgett who spoke about Edna St. Vincent Millay. That com- pleted the first part ofthe meetings on Modern Poets. The second part was opened by Anne Cunningham and Anne Dufifin who gave us an introduction to Charles Dickens, his life and character. Margaret and Elizabeth Brown gave the second talk in the series on Edwin Drood, and Lola Marson and Ruth Thompson concluded the meetings by talk- ing on Great Expectations. We had hoped to hold a final meeting in the form of a mock trial, to be ac- complished with outside aid, but owing to the extreme shortness of the summer term and the many other activities which filled our time, the idea had to be given up. Despite the shortness of the year it has been a successful one, and We wish to thank everyone who has in any way con- tributed to this success by their co-opera- tion and effort. Especially do to thank Miss Turner for all couragement and help, and the much time and work she has given up for us this year. we wish her en:- SHEILA HAWKINGS, CSecretaryJ. THE EAGLE 35 5.0 .

M- - 1- A RUSSIAN GRAVE -By Naomi Boulton 36 RUPERTJS LAND GIRLS, SCHooL 9 Q 4 I I EQ INITIATION DAY I I LOOKED in at the open door of the Club de Rupe to see a vast room bordered with small tables and thronged with many elegant ladies and gentlemen of the early twenties. At the moment when I looked in there was a pause in the floor show so that I had a chance to gape in wonderment at the groups of people around the tables, and to be carried back into the days of 1920. At one table I saw a charming lady in an orange dress with voluminous velvet sash drooping gracefully around her slender hips, and with orange satin slippers which had heels of most unearthly heights. At another table I perceived a dashing young man with chequered waistcoat, button-boots and a very large moustache, which practically obliterated him and gave him the appearance of a walrus. Over at the far end of the room I could make out a graceful girl in a dazzling blue dress which was held up precariously by two thin shoulder straps. She wore an ob- trusive red rose dangerously perched on her shoulder and a hat with one of those fashionable large crowns and small brims Cwhich always remind one of a pudding- basinl pulled delicately over her small ears and lodged carefully on her eye- brows. l The floor-show was beginning again so I pulled my eyes away from the tantaliz- ing people and watched the performance. First came a delightful couple who ex- celled in the smooth lines of the dip, then a couple who sang a melodious duet, each part blending into the one before in perfect discord. Then followed come- dians who donated corny cracks, judicious jokes and perplexing puns. There were also the solo tap dancing and singing which created much applause, followed by four stunning beauties who entered in a glory of .black and mauve. I was eventually awakened out of 1920 very forcibly and made to blink my eyes' at 1943. The night club had come to a grand finis while the new girls crawled on hands and knees. much to their horror and mortification, until they finally ended at the feet of their worthy contemporaries. And so ended another Initiation Day dur- ing which the new girls formed the Club de Rupe and the older girls formed glee- ful spectators of the misery of the ini- tiates. ELIZABETH BROWN. THE VARIETY ENTERTAINMENT HE Variety Entertainment, in which teachers and girls took part, was staged in the Assembly Hall on February 26th and 27th, to raise funds to pay off the debt on last year's school magazine. The title Variety was indeed appropri- ate, as the programme included songs, dances, pianoforte solos, monologues, clowning, skits and a play. The curtain rose on a stage setting of palm trees and cotton bales, with a group of dusky negroes singing, dressed in brightly-coloured clothes, and quite un- recognizable as members of Grade XII. Harmonies and pantomime gave character to their songs which were interspersed throughout the first half of the pro- gramme, each item being announced by one of the darkies, Nell- Elsey. Joyce Lally did a snappy tap-danceg Nancy Mar- tin sang a cow-boy song, Joyce Lamont, Margaret Milner and Pat Love played KC0ntinued on page 431 THE EAGLE School Photogruphg Competition GP General Comments E were very fortunate this year in having Flight-Lieutenant N. M. Fowler, who is in charge of photography for No. Z Air Training Command, judge and give a valuable criticism of the pictures submitted. The results of the competition were gratifying though entries in the school life class were rather small in number. li Mr. Fow1er's Comments HOTOGRAPHS may for all practical purposes be divided into two general groups: those photographs which are taken for the express purpose of making a record of an incident, scene or subject, and photo- graphs in which pictorialism is at least attempted. even though they may also be included in the first category. Pictorialism might be described as conveying to the neutral observer the beauty, mood, realism, etc., in a convincing manner of the subject depicted. If a photograph is to be classified as successful pictoria-lism, it is usually necessary to employ at least the basic principles of composition. One major subject only should be included in a picture: the subject should be as complete as the picture necessitates, and care should be taken to ensure that the photograph depicts what is intended. In other words, if a photograph of a horse is being made, do not cut off its legs, a landscape should not have a large figure predominating in the foreground, and it should not be necessary to examine a photograph closely and make several guesses to iind out why it was taken. 38 RUPERTJS LAND GIRLS, SCHooL School Photography Competition--Classes A and B egg-'. .7. . 4' og-5,4 S ' 'W . ff, sz:if.::....:f:::s:2:s:,.f: if . 1 7.1114 if ... 1 l AA X A . f t ' 5,99 1 f ' 'rflffn 'ff .

The maker has been able to convey an impression of their gigantic size and majesty. The atmosphere and flashes of sunlight on the snow all assist in creating a very happy photo- graph. CLASS B-ANIMALS First Place-Taken by Elizabeth Brown. A carefully made study of a horse which, by good exposure, brings out all the roundness and muscling of the animal. The dog and background are typical and not intrusive. The Iigure, which is not necessary, can be eliminated with ease by masking off the right- hand side of the print. The tone of the print is par- ticularly pleasing. CLASS B-ANIMALS Second Place-Taken by Jane Grimble. A humorous study of a, bulldog in particularly appropriate circumstances. Much more can be made of this photo- graph by concentrating the interest on-the dog and the sign, by masking off the top, left and bottom portions of the picture. THE EAGLE 39 School Photography Competition-Class C CLASS C-SCHOOL LIFE First Place-Taken by Jocelyn Highmoor. A picture of typical school life, which leaves no doubt in the mind of the observer as to what is being depicted. The figures are well-placed and there are no unnecessary or distracting objects included in the photograph. The subjects are interested in their work and do not appear to be posed. CLASS C-SCHOOL LIFE Second Place- Taken by Suzanne MacQuarrie. XVhile this photograph was under- exposed due to being taken indoors, it could not have been made any- where except in school. The grouping of the figures is particularly happy. Interest is concentrated on the teacher and none of the subjects give any in- dication of being aware that they are being photographed. The very dark foreground is somewhat intrusive and the picture could be improved by masking off about :Ei inch at the bottom. Have you heard about the two little worms who set up house in Dead Ernest? Have you heard about the little Moron who took a street-car ticket to bed with him so he wouldn't have to walk in his sleep.

An old-fashioned silent movie, includ- ing- three crooks, a girl-friend and a de- tective, was no doubt intended to be blood- curdling, - ievery one was dead before the end! But what with screen black-outs, reverse showing of the film, false hair and blacked-out teeth, the result was a hilarious comedy. A group of Grade X girls did an ex- tremely clever take-off of radio pro- grammes. The Brown twins gave an amusing bit of clowning, imitating two charwomen. cleaning an office after hours. Grade VII girls sang several pleasing selections from The Mikado. Miss Gor- don gave a very entertaining monologue. Some very delightful dances followed. Jocelyn Highmoor and Pat Gladstone danced a minuetgljune Sinden interpreted a colourful Russian danceg Judy Hunt- ting and Margaret Milner demonstrated the Dip, and the entire set of dancers formed a Conga line. The staff play, which had been kept a dark secret, was a great success under the very able direction of Miss Gordon. Miss Ralston played the part of the handsome young master of the house very well, and Miss Jackson, his hot-headed and well- meaning little wife, was very good, too. Mrs. Derby was very convincing as the indifferent parlour-maid. The fat, self- assured cook was played by Miss Bussell, who all but stole the show. Miss Eldred, the kitchen-maid, and Miss Macdonald the useful maid, handled their pathetic roles very well. Miss Lucas, as the very proper house-maid will never live down ber lips glued to lips speech. Miss Turner, as the odd man. was a knock-out with her pail and list of duties. The kind support of a large number of old girls and-other friends who filled the hall on both nights resulted in our making enough money to clear the debt, with a small balance in addition. CHR1sT1N15 BRIDGETT. HGME ECONOMICS URING the course of the Easter term we, the Grade X Home Economics Class, visited Eaton's and The Bay on two separate tours. On both occasions we were accompanied by Mrs. Stevenson. We visited Eaton's during Home Nu- trition Week in February. Unfortunately, that week was one of the coldest and windiest of the season. Undaunted, how- ever, we bravely set forth in our orderly crocodile, which soon became broken up as we were forced to spend half the time galloping down the road in hot pursuit of hats and berets. When we finally reach- ed the store we crowded into an elevator and ascended to the third floor. On step- ping from the elevator we were greeted by the cackling of several dozen chickens. We did not spend much time staring at our feathered friends for we were much too interested in half a dozen sheep of a brilliant orange hue which stood in the next pen, placidly munching grass. They were blissfully unaware of all the pop- eyed spectators, or of one of their com- panions who was sneezing noisily. Next we -were led into the presence of two cows who had obviously come from 'a very classy farm, for their velvety skin was scented with perfume and their horns were polished and shining. We even looked at their hoofs to see if their nails had been manicured. They wore smug expressions on their bovine faces and were evidently very pleased with the sen- sation they were causing at their first public debut. Hearing that free milk was being distributed each of us rushed to the counter to get a bottle. Then we gathered ourselves together and left the building, only to discover that we were minus Ruth and Margaret, who were still upstairs, 44 RUPERT,S' LAND GIRLS, SCHooL entranced by our animal friends. Need- less to say, we had learned a great deal. Our next tour was to The Bay. On an afternoon in April we started out un- der promising circumstances, for the weather was warm and We were complete with Sheila and yo-yo. We were shown around the meat department which was exceedingly clean and orderly with car- casses of beef, lamb and pork, lining the walls. Next we saw rooms where the meat was cut into roasts, chops, etc., and poked our inquisitive noses into other rooms where cheese, eggs, pickles or fruits were stored. We looked into a cold storage room which was stacked with Hsh, but decided not to enter as anything solid in there froze within thirty minutes. 1 5 - , W , ,f aa 51 -- 0. to I 9 if 1 f P ,l .I I 0.5 0 ' ','. 0 fo x gf ' if wfisrbaxi ' 'AQ '- D3 1, 1- -- 1 ' 1 ,f IZ ,, Mr. Wills, who conducted us, pointed out numerous departments and showed us the practical system whereby goods We order are delivered to us.

We returned to school feeling that we had spent a very interesting afternoon behind the scenes. We enjoyed both these trips immensely. Thank you, Mrs. Stevenson!

GRADE XI HOME ECONOMICS HE thirteen Grade Xl Home Econo- mic students had two able teachers this year, Miss Major, throughout the First term when the girls commenced their year with plain and simple cotton dresses. and, after Christmas, Mrs. Stevenson who took over instruction in making woollen garments. ' Elizabeth Brown's skirt was made from an English check tweed of wine, sand and blue, her sister Margaret also made an English tweed skirt of brown and beige herringbone-typical English skirts for typical English girls. Elizabeth Officer's pleated brown wool skirt threatened to become a class effort at the end of term, but Liz would add a cheerful note to any Home Ec. class. Evelyn Chapuis and Sheila Hawkings both ventured on the bright and sporty side with checked viyella skirts, one in blue and red, the other in hyacinth shades. Gertrude Eland took great pains to stitch the seams straight in her plain dark brown wool dress, but all in vain. A sporty dress gradually emerg- ed due to Dorothy Findlay's patience in matching the black stripes on the red rab- bit's wool. Two dresses, a blue one with matching pill-box made by Phyllis Green, who might be called Lightning in sewing THE EAGLE 45 circles, and a bright red one because of which Jane Grimble might be called the flame of the Home Ec. class, are on prin- cess lines. An afternoon frock of deep rose with bishop sleeves and a swing skirt is Dorothy Mae Langstaffe's pride and joy, after a great deal of unpicking and re- stitching in which she was joined by a majority of the class! Several eruptions occurred in Phyllis O'Connell's side of the room, as she made her shirt-waist dress of grey wool-rayon. Kay Glover made a tailored brown wool jacket, with the idea of eventually completing a suit, while Jean MacLennan made a blue wool jacket to wear over her summer dresses. Most of the girls are intending to follow in Phyllis Greenls footsteps in the re- modelling of old clothes. A great many of the class were inspired bv the Remake Review held in Winnipeg on April 29. It has been a good year and we have all enjoyed our busy but nevertheless hilar- ious Home Economics classes. DoR0'rHY MAE LONGSTAFFE AND GERTRUDE ELAND CGrade XD. --. ii. PETER I HAD a bull-dog and we called him Peter. I also had a toy cat which Peter teased. One day Daddy and Mummy and I went away in the car and left Peter at home. After that I could not find my toy cat. One day Peter and I were playing. when suddenly he began digging up the earth. Out came my toy cat. I scolded Peter, he hung his head, and I know he will never do it again. CAMERON YOUNG, CGrade ID. . i BLACKIE WE had a cat, her name was Blackie. She had a nice warm bed in the base- ment. Every day Blackie walked to the bus with me. One day I found flve babies in her bed. I was so happy. I fed Blackie every day. A few days after, the kittens had disap- for them. There they were fast asleep with Blackie in my doll's bed. DIANA NANTON, CGrad2 IIB. THE ROBINS LAST spring two robins came to make a nest in a tree in our garden. We watched them every day. A bluejay sat on a tree nearby and scolded and scolded them. They made their nest out of string, grass and mud. Soon there were four eggs in the nest. The bluejay watched and watched from the tree. One day the daddy robin was left alone on the nest. Soon he flew away. The .bluejay dived at the nest, but as he got there, the daddy robin came back. The bluejay scolded and scolded but flew away as quickly as he could. PAMELA MCKAY, CGrade ID. MY CLOCK I have a little clock.

I cannot think of it, replied the butterfly. Only a few days ago you hurt peared. I ran through the house looking my feelings by calling me an ugly thing. 46 RUPERTIS LAN D GIRLS, SCHOOL That cannot be true, said the hum- ming-bird in surprise. I always thought very highly Of such a beautiful creature as you. Perhaps you have respect for me now, said the butterfly. But you hurt my feel- ings when I was a caterpillar, And she fluttered gaily Off to another flower. How surprising! said the humming- bird. I would not have believed it! But it has taught me a lesson. Hereafter I will be polite to every One. JOHANNE VVINTEMUTE, CGrade HU.

She is a very pretty doll with big blue eyes, And she very often tells me she is very, very wise. She has a chair and a play pen too, One is old, but the other is new. She has a pram for walks when it's mildg In fact she is a lucky child. RUTH SIMONDS, QGrade IVD. THE ROBINS The little robins have a nest so neat, They like it out of the terrible heat, But when all the leaves are falling down, There's hardly a bird in all the town. VVinter's come so harsh and cold, But some of the birds are very boldg The robins have disappeared at last, All on account of winter's blast. It's soon the lovely spring-time tide That brings joy over the country-side, The robins are coming back Once more, They're doing the same as the year before. The robins, of course, all love to sing, And so we hear their voices ring, Summer's come with great big leaps, And now the horrible winter sleeps. BULA PATEIQSON, CGrade IVJ.

At last the thunder starts to mutter, The wind is dying fast, And boats and children in the gutter Are glad the storm is past. JANE TWATHER, CGrade VID. THE RIVER Down the rushing, roaring river An Indian paddles a lone canoe, The trees on the shores are swaying gently And the sky above is cloudless blue. Gver the softly moving waters A swan darts swiftly by, A Hash of white, against the green Of the shore, and the blue of the sky. The sun sets slowly o'er the world, The sky is turned from blue to grey: The birds twitter a last good night, The sun disappears-it's the end of the day. U BETH MCEACHERN, CGrade VID.

A LITTLE DAUGHTER OP JAPAN With her head of glossy black, Dolly strapped upon her back, Clad in robes of brightest hue, Comes a happy vision blue. Walking through the village street With her little bound-up feet, Tripping lightly through the throng, Comes Niishima with a song. Holding high her parasol, Gaily running with her ball, She stops at last and starts to play, With several friends upon the way. Not a tear and not a worry, Not a thing to make her hurryg Home she comes as darkness falls, And goes to bed in paper halls. PHYLLIS DOWKER, CGrade VIID. DOG-S FOR DEFENCE EFORE the war the average dog was just a pet. There were useful dogs, of course, such as the seeing-eye dog, and the sheep dog. Dogs now play an essen- tial part in the war effort. If people had not had dogs as pets there would not have been so many dogs of the right type to be used in the war. ' Dogs for Defence was organized in 1942 in New York City, and is in charge of recruiting dogs for the armed forces. The dogs go through a ten-week course be- fore being turned over to the army. For each dog accepted it costs the govern- ment seventy dollars to complete their training. Before the dogs are accepted they are physically examined, and then tested to see how they react towards strangers. The Inspector also reports their reaction to guns and riding in cars. Every dog used relieves a man for some war work. The Navy hasasked for the smaller breeds, especially bulldogs. Muni- tion plants under government control are also interested in the smaller types. Me- needed be- and more dium-sized dogs are urgently cause they are more useful adaptable to the work required of them. The larger types such as the Newfound- land and Great Dane will have their place in the war effort, and will be used as water-carriers, telegraph wire layers, supf ply carrier and for rescuing the wounded on the battlefield. Collies are trained as messengers, and the quick, alert terriers can use their natural instincts to exter- minate rats. I think that when this organization be- comes fully developed, there will be many more uses found for dogs in the armed forces. BETTY BAKER, CGrade IXJ. . FOUND IT!

THE FOLK O' MOON MOUNTAIN HEN I was just a wee girl, I often went to visit my Uncle Bill in the country, just outside of Lanark. I always went straight to Sandy MCGUfflH, the old herder, who so proudly looked after my uncle's sheep, the best in Scotland. Old Sandy would stand up when he saw me and ask how his lassie was. Then he would settle down and ask me if I would like a story. I always asked for the Wee Folk O' Moon Mountain. It was my favorite. Long ago when people believed in wee folk, he would always start out, the wee folk o' Moon Mountain would come down to see us. Peepin' in door and win- dow, gettin' mixed up with the sheep. Only little' lads and lassies could see them, but often enough we older ones saw them too. These wee folk were scarcely larger than ma thumb, but they were verra strong. Dressed in old patched clothes they looked at an' tasted all they could reach. If you were bad they would put lumps in your porridge, trip you on the street and tweak your nose. They were full of mischief and played tricks on you when your back was turned, but they were really kind-hearted and often did more good than harm. When as a lad, I guarded the sheep, I would see them laughing and dancing in the tall sweet grass. If you put out a part of your lunch, they would see that none of the sheep got hurt. Once after I had learnt to play the pipes, I played a bonnie tune under a new moon and the wee folk came millin' all around and then fell a dancin'. I told ma mither ,and she thought I was daft, but ma wee sister begged me to tell her so she might see them too, and I was happy. Aye, the wee folk are verra good and if ye treat them kindly, they will tak' ye to their bonnie home in Moon Mountain. It was a very short story, the story of the wee folk but I loved it. Sandy has gone now, he died last winter while look- ing for three ewes that had wandered off. They found and buried him, but when I think of the wee folk, I know that they must have carried Sandy up to Moon Mountain. ' SHELAGH FISHER, CGrade IXD. -i. .l. WAR-TIME OPTIMISM OR a long time I have held the belief that one should develop a cheerful atti- tude of mind during wartime. That ex- plains why, on waking this morning, I had quite a fight to convince myself that this outlook on life was really justified, be- cause I had just remembered that on this particular day I had an appointment with my dentist. But ultimately I reassured myself. . . And so I begin this promising Tuesday morning in the merry atmosphere of the dentist's reception room, surrounded by such fascinating and thought-provoking books as Wee Tots Annual and Life on the Farm. It won't be long now-the doctor's three minutes late for my appointment. A hor- rible thought occurs to me. Suppose he has taken ill and is now in the throes of delirium! Perhaps-.but no, my mind is put at rest by the beckoning of the recep- tionist, who imparts to me the delightful news that the doctor will see me immedi- ately. The day begins to take on an even sunnier atmosphere as I survey it through the big slanting plate glass window before me. Those poor, misguided mortals, I th-ink pityingly, as I watch my fellow citizens crawling about on the unfriendly sidewalks of the great out--doors. Think what they are missing! Here I sit, cosv 50 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL and secure, in a big black leather chair, with the sun streaming in upon me, and the prospect of a bright and playful hour with my friend before me. I can hear his melodious voice in the next room. chatting amiably with a patient about such pleasant topics as upper plates and bi- cuspids. What is he saying now? Busy for an hour? Hurray, that means me! At last the happy moment approaches. Now he is before me - all pink and white and smelling of iodoform. He beams upon me in his best Tuesday morn- ing fashion, showing some of his own bridgework in the process. I toy with the pleasant idea that some other dentist prob- ably inflicted untold tortures on him when performing this noble work. But I am to have no time for medita- tion, for his farseeing mirror has already revealed a beautiful cavity in one of my back teeth that I had been so afraid he would miss, and he has buzzed oFf to search through his mystic drawers. A sigh of pleasant anticipation escapes me and I close my eyes, letting my head sink upon my little white bib. When I open my eyes I am ecstatic to find that he is before me once more-the picture of geniality itself, armed with his little hammer and chisel. He playfully taps the offending molar several times in his merry way while I sit back and enjoy life. Now I will drill it a few times and you must tell me if it hurts. I begin to yap with enthusiasm at his idea. How nice of him to warn me, I think, my heart warming to him. Now he has his little buzzer in motion, and is deep in doing whatever dentists- are sup- posed to .be doing when they are thus equipped. I grip the arms of the chair and enthusiastically pit my futile strength against that of man plus machinery. The exhilarating feeling it gives you can only be appreciated after first-hand experience. But what's this? He is putting the drill back! Oh come, let's have some more of that fun! But no, it's all over. Wait, what's this? Another form of amuse- ment! That's what I like about visiting a dentist. He, is always so full of original, exciting ideas that you are never quite sure what is going to happen next. Sus- pense, and, all that. This time he is hold- ing a harmless-looking instrument with a big bulb on the end of it. His air syringe, he calls it. Hold tight, 'he says. So I hold tight. Then, without further warn- ing, he presses this innocent bulb, and I am welcomed with a surprising blast of air which blows loud and long upon my protesting molar. Feel that? he says. And he's right, the merry dog-I do feel it! But now, just when the fun is really starting, it seems he doesn't want 'to play any rnore. .He has stuffed a bit of wax into my tooth and is telling me to come back 'in four days. Now I must return to my busy humdrum life, which is un- broken by the gentle hum- of drills and the sweet scent of disinfectants. But life is still treating me well. just think, I have it all to lookforward to again next S'atur- day! PATRICIA CHESSHIRE, CGrade XD. .

You think a fly might be biting him, but not seeing one you look at his head and find you are holding the reins too tight and the bit hurts his mouth, so you loosen it a little. By this time your foot is out of the stirrup and the book on the ground, so you pick it up, take the reins and again some more mane. You have a lot of trouble trying to get your foot in the stirrup this time what with keeping the reins loose, not pul- ling his mane, and holding on to the book. Of course it would never occur to you to hold the stirrup steady. However after a lot of hopping about and keeping the horse still, you finally get it in. Then you grab the back of the saddle and while half pulling and half pushing you proceed to kick the horse in the ribs. Of course he strongly objects to this so he imme- diately bolts and jibs and throws his head up and down, while you Cin an awful turmoil by this timej wonder where you 1 -By Doreen Gibson. are going to land. All of a sudden it occurs to you that you are in the saddle, your left foot in the stirrup, and the right one dangling loosely on the other side. You are overjoyed at this and while compli- menting yourself about the neat and easy way you did it, you accidentally pull the reins back suddenly and the horse rears. Vainly you hang on but in a moment you are on the ground, back where you started from. I give up, you say weakly, while the horse stands there looking at you as if to say, 'Tm not sorry.

At the moment ,they were contemplating smuggling on a large scale. They had, in fact, just read Tales of the Skull and 52 RUPERTJS LAND GIRLS, SCI-Ioors Crossbonesf' For obvious reasons, john, Squeeky's senior by a year, devised the plan of action, while Squeeky usually ven- tured the more exciting, but eventually more painful part of the task. In this instance, however, both were involved. This night, in the year 1943, while Gen- eral Macarthur, with a select staff, was planning some strategic move, while Roosevelt was preparing some .Fireside talk, or Churchill flying to some unex- pected corner of the globe, another im- portant business was in progress-on the edge of John's bed. Due to circumstances entirely beyond john's control, a pocket fiashlight, instead of the large lamp, moved its tiny circles over a grimy bit of paper spread carefully on John's knee. I worked it out very carefully you see, during Arithmetic, explained john, add- ing modestly, Pretty good, isn't it - then dreamily, his face Cprobably because he was looking into the flashlightb radiant as that of a budding genius whose greatest work is accomplished, I wonder if Sher- lock Holmes ever thought of anything quite as good. By the way Squeeky-not that it makes any difference of course- what do you think of it? Ah! Excellent! he piped, having picked up this expression thinking it ex- pressive, and using it on every possible occasion. That same night. about half an hour after wee wmie winkie had made his nightly rounds, noises were heard in vari- ous parts of the house. The front stairs creaked a little. The name Squeeky was most appropriate. The dog, sleeping near the foot of the back stairs, growled sud- denly, then, as if appeased, became silent again. The cat, curled gracefully on the front hall rug, uttered a wild screech, as if someone had stepped on her tail, and then fied into the living-room-but she did that sometimes. A door groaned slightly - the draughts in the house must be awfully strong. Then all was silence. Suddenly muffled voices were heard in the nether regions of the house. I say Squeeky, have you found them? No, you'll have to use the Hashlightf' That was a good idea of mine - my going down the back stairs and your going down the front. If you had been caught I could easily have grabbed the loot and caved upstairs. Then, by the time you'd explained the situation-thirsty or some- thing-I would be dreaming sweet dreams in bed, while everything would be tucked safely in my money-box. i Things clinked together faintly, and a voice whispered: They don't seem to .be anywhere-Oh! There they are. Bring a chair here. A scraping sound ensued. I've got them, growled a spectral voice. Suddenly an ominous rumble proclaimed to Mrs. Armand in the living-room, I don't know whether my ears deceive me, but I think that I shall just go up to see whether the boys are asleep. Oh my giddy aunt, muttered John, We'll have to cave up the back stairs and think up some hopeful excuse in the closet while Dad's in our room. Then when he goes downstairs to look for us we'll slip under the covers. Here, Squeeky, you carry them. But it was not to happen this way. They caved accordingly, yet Fate felt playful. They were just creeping up the back stairs when their father tramped down, the re- sultant meeting on the landing was enough to fulfil any amateur smuggler's expecta- tions. After the booty had been confis- cated, their father, being a generous- man, removed his shoe and applied it liberally. I can't understand it ? moaned Squeeky a few minutes later. Oh well, yawned John, the optimist, It was fun, and only for a few lumps of sugar anyway. Only! AMY BEST, CGrade XJ.

Of German descent, they migrated from their war-torn country to the Dakotas, and later to many points in Canada when they were assured their religious beliefs would be protected and they would not be liable for military ser- vice. They are deeply religious, with an ab- horrence of war and crime. For this reason very few Hutterites are ever in trouble-fthe rare penalty given to any minor offender is a month's confinement to the colonyi. A minister, living in the midst of them, holds services daily. He is usually elected as manager of the colony also. In Manitoba there are thirteen colonies, from Headingly to Elie, one at Arden, and one at Poplar Point. Each colony' has from fifty to a hundred and twenty-five inhabitants. When over-populated the land is bought for a new settlement. Each colony acts as a unit. A farm manager and foremen over hogs, cattle, sheep, poultry, bees, etc., are appointed. Their lives centre in the land. Each colony usually operates three thousartd acres. Hogs and geese are important factors on the farm, and because of these ninety-five per cent of the farms are built on river--banks. Vegetables and fruit are raised and sold in nearby cities. Beef, pork, mutton, hogs and poultry are raised. Bees provide excellent honey. These farmers were the first in Manitoba to grow and market seed corn, and they have al- ready shipped several thousand bushels. Clothing is made in the same manner as pioneers made it generations ago. The wool off the sheep they have raised is carded, spun, dyed and woven into fi coarse cloth. The young girls and women wear ankle-length skirts of this material, shawls and babouschkas. Because of their thrifty methods of raising and making the necessities of life, their only purchases need .be machinery and trucks for the farm, and tea and sugar for the household. . Meals are eaten in the community dining-room, about which the homes are grouped. The elderly women take turns in the cookhouse. They' wait on tables and wash the dishes, the younger women being exempt, as one of the rules says women from fifteen to forty-five years of age must work on the land. The adults always eat first, the children afterwards.. This simplifies their homes as both kitchen and dining-room are eliminated. The house is small, usually consisting of only two or three rooms. The floor is painted wood, and the walls bare of any kind of picture, but the extreme cleanli- ness makes it more attractfiiver. In the foreman's house is a small barrel of either dandelion, rose, grape or rhubarb home- made wine, with which he shows his hos- pitality to all visitors. The Hutterite marriage usually takes place when the boy reaches the age of eighteen or twenty. There are no rings given, but the men, as a sign of the wed- ding, grow beards. The women will not cut their hair. Each couple usually has from Five to twelve children, about one year apart. However there is little re- sponsibility, as education, hospitalization, religious teaching and even the care of the old is provided .by the community. The children start Kindergarten when three years of age, and are taught to speak German until they are six, when they enter school. There, they receive their education until they are fifteen, when they go to work on the land. The teacher lives on the colony and becomes part of it. Their system of financing is done through a mortgage company, and all profits are used to buy more land and im- prove it. No salaries or wages are given, and the pocket-money allowed is meagre. The Hutterites take no interest in the affairs outside their own colony. No news- THE EAGLE H papers are read. The right to vote is ignored. In wartime they are conscien- tious objectors Cbut here it may be said that one carload of honey was given to the war effort this yearj Because of their limited 'contribution to our Canadian high standard of living, they are missing many of the privileges afforded them by living under the Union Jack.

WILL ENGLAND CHANGE? I-IEN one looks at the weather-beaten cottages of grey moss-covered stone, with brilliant yellow ochre thatched roofs one thinks that England-the very heart of England will never wholly change. In these cottages with their regular rain- bow of fiowers around them, live families that have inherited and tilled the land from generation unto generation, and one feels as though they are the deep-rooted heart of England. ' These people live in their cottages that cluster around the manor. This manor is built of the local stone with majestic grace, and one can see by its huge mullion- ed windows and arches that it dates back to the Georges. It has great lawns and herbaceous borders stretching down to the stone walls which look out, as a mother would, to the village green. Here the old stocks still wait patiently for an offender, and although they are no longer firm and strong, but are rotted and rusty, they still form a fit symbol of justice and right in the village. .iff v V g , ,. . - - ,T Q-f iff ff' .ff1!.2m.,J W- - ., xy - -.

J ' ' 56 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL Behind, up on the hill is the church built of the same stone as the manor, with strong straight walls broken by the lines of Gothic arches and the ivy round its base. Inside the church the bells have ceased to ring, and knights lie in deeply embossed graves. Here the people gather to worship their God in quietness and peace: stained glass windows cast shadows of transient beauty on ancient stone and wood, and lusty voices lift their hearts in praise. As for characters in the village, there is old Granny Smith, who still wears her long black dress with seven petticoats, and who mumbles through empty jaws how she remembers the Mummers' Play and the time when there were no steam engines! Then there is George Taylor who has the greatest ability for being drunk and being the biggest gossip of the village. He is deeply wrinkled, walks with long strides in creaking boots, and stays on his land when he is not drunk. There is the blacksmith's shop, where old Gascoine shoes the horsesg the village shop where it smells of everything con- glomerated into one glorious smell, and finally the pub-the famous Three Bells. But around the village lie endless farms with ploughed and farab-le land inter- mingled. The fields are irregular in shape and the fences and hedges give the appearance of a large spider's web. So when one sees a village like this, its deep- rooted peace and ancient beauty, one feels that in spite of frightful war and cease- less tyranny, this village and this England will never change. MARGARET BRo-WN, CGrade XID. THE ORCHARD EITAIHO is a seaside resort on the North Coast of China about five hours by train from Tientsin. It is there that we always go for our summer holidays from Shanghaig a distance of about seven hundred miles. On our estate there exists one of the loveliest orchards I have ever seen, it consists of sixty odd acres, and stretches behind the bungalow and away from the sea. There is an arched brick gateway that leads from the house on to a gravel and sand path that runs straight through the property to the big, double- barred white gates that lead on to the main highway. This path is the centre of gravity as it were, and so I shall start this tour of inspection there. Looking from the house towards the plantation as it is called, and walking along the path, I look to the left and see rows and rows of grape-vines of every known variety. Farther away, behind these grow apple, pear, peach and apricot trees. Still farther back, hidden by the trees and their heavy coats of foliage. lie beds of melons and pumpkins and rows of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and all types of vegetables. The ground banks down suddenly to the limit of the property. Between this vegetable garden and the house runs a high brick wall en- closing the servants' quarters and the stables from which I can hear the sound of neighing and hooves beating an im- patient tattoo, - proof that the Marfoo must be late with the horses' feed.- As I walk along the path Cwhich is bordered by Acacia and pine trees, with white-washed stones and shells at their feet and beds of brilliant flowersl I pass winding by-paths and eventually a tinza or summer-house with a red brick roof, built like a small temple. Now the fruit trees have given place to fir trees, mostly Japanese pines, around whose feet grow tall grasses and wild flowers, chiefly hare.bells. There are nut trees here too, and the light brightness of their leaves forms a vivid contrast to the sombre green of the pines. Turning away from the left hand view of the path towards the right, the ground undulates gently to a croquet court. Be- tween this and the main path lies a grass- covered plot cleared except for two mas- sive old oaks, and an ancient, crooked Japanese pine that bends over a path. Un- der these protecting branches lie rows of mounds, the dogs' cemetery, a reward for years of faithful and loving service. There THE E AGLE 57 are flowers everywhere and below the croquet court where the ground steeps suddenly a stream trickles its melodic way through reeds and rushes. Overhead golden orioles fly singing through the trees, their brilliant notes matching the flowers in in- tensity of colour. In this orchard and amongst these trees we were all brought up and have grown and developed with their growth and development, we have played Robin Hood and games of hide-and-seekg we have bicycled and ridden horse-back along the paths or wandered through, eating fruit we have picked ourselves falthough this was sternly forbidden, and a severe punishment by an irate grandfather in- evitably followedij I have taken cushions and a rug and spent hours lying in the grass under the lovely old trees, reading or dreaming. I know no other spot where perfect peace and contentment are always to be found. I have spent the happiest months of my life there, and if I could never return to my orchard beside the sea there would be a vacant place in my life that no other spot could fill.

SHORT STORY AND POETRY E are very grateful to Virginia Cam- eron, one of our old girls, now on the staff of the Free Press, for so kindly and competently undertaking the adjudi- cation this year. There were fifteen entries for the Senior Poem Competition, but in other classes the number of entries was smaller than it was last year, which is to be regretted. There are no awards for Junior Poem or Senior Short Story, due to an insufficient number of entries. The following awards are made: JUNIOR SHoRT STORY 1. Nancy Martin: The Missing Filly. 9 ... Patricia McKnight: A Wedding in Old Athens. SENIOR POEM l. Naomi Boulton: Impulse, 2. Anne Dufhn: To a Six Year Old. 3. Naomi Boulton: Wind, and A Greek Soldier's Grave. The winning stories and poems are printed below, and also the interesting and helpful criticisms of the judge. THE MISSING FILLY Klfirsf Prize, Junior Storyj T was dawn at the Whitner Racing Stables. A fine grey mist was rising, and the bright yellow light from the stable windows could be seen through the mist. Everything outside was still, but inside the stable the scene was quite different. Grooms were rushing to and fro and yelling at stable boys, the trainer was in a frenzy, and the horses not having been fed their breakfast, were nickering and stamping. Everything was in a turmoil. Where was she? Where was Mr. Whit- ner's favorite filly? Last night she had been safely bedded down in her stall, but this morning she was nowhere to be found. The uneasiness in the air was sensed by the horses as they stamped impatiently in their stalls. Had she been stolen? Pretty soon Mr. Whitner would 1 58 RUPERT's LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL , . V.

The filly's name was Stardust, and a more beautiful two-year-old had never been seen in Kentucky. Her dam was Lady 'Aaron and her sire Starlight, the famous racer. She was a little horse with a glistening chestnut hide and four white socks. Her legs were slender and clean cut, and her rippling mane shone in the sunlight. Her long silky tail hung almost to her heels, and she held her well shaped head with a pride peculiar to thorough- breds. Her back was short and sturdy and her chest wide. She had dark brown eyes that held the wild fire of the desert, although her nature was as sweet and gentle as you could wish for. She was of royal blood, descending from a line thoroughbreds. In her shapely a keen set of brains, and under her glossy hide the heart that was to carry her through all her races. No wonder, thought the grooms, that some one should be tempted to steal her. of noble head was The small door that connected the stable with the track room opened and in walked Mr. Whitner. He was a tall man and rather stout, and wore old creased jeans, a brown leather jacket, and a dilapidated fedora. His face was extremely red and he had a love of horses inherited from his father and grandfather before him. He also had a very excitable nature and liked everything to run smoothly around his stable. ' Ah, said Mr. Whitner to his trainer, who had been elected to tell the sad news, and how is Stardust this morning? Are you ready to take her around the track a few times? A Y-y-y-yes, I mean n-n-no, Mr. Whit- ner, gulped the trainer. ' What do you mean, no? exclaimed Mr. Whitner. Well you see, Mr. Whitner, Stardust is missing this morning. When I came out to the stable the door of her stall was open and she was gone. She un- doubtedly has been stolen, although it is THE E AGLE 59 strange that the stable door is still locked on the inside, just as I left it last night. Mr. Whitner was, by this time, greatly excited and his already red face was now scarlet. - Well, don't stand there, shouted Mr. Whitner, if she has been stolen, 'phone the police, and get the fire brigade and the forest rangers, tell the marines. Calm yourself, Mr. Whitner, said the trainer, we don't know if the thief rode her or took her in Aa truck or how he got her out. There isn't much we can do except have the roads watched for horse vans and trucksg if he rode her there isn't much hope because he would go by the trails. ' Oh, this would have to happen! ex- claimed Mr. Whitner. The best horse we ever raised and she is stolen. just then one of the stable boys came running up to Mr. Whitner. There's no hoof prints or tire marks anywhere about the stable, Sir, he panted. Strange, muttered Mr. Whitner, push- ing his fedora back on his head and ex- posing his grey hair. Search the stable, he shouted. Stable boys, grooms and even the'trainer rushed to and fro, into the tack room and even up in the loft, while Mr. Whitner stood on the same spot at the end of the barn and scratched his head. From the stall behind him came a low whin'ny of contentment. It couldnft be. Was that Stardust's whinny? Mr. VVhit- ner was afraid to look. He finally gath- ered the courage to turn his head and glance behind him. There she was, placidly munching hay, in the same stall with Dr. Smith, a big black gelding. She had finished her hay and had to come to get some of his. Overjoyed at finding his prize filly, Mr. Whitner led her out of Dr. Smith's stall and. patted her sleek neck. Grooms, stable boys, the trainer, and the new jockey that had come to breeze the filly gathered around her. There was a sigh of relief from everyone, and a beaming smile on Mr. Whitner's face. I guess I was the one that really caused all the confusion, confessed a groom, I should have fixed the latch on the door of Stardust's stall yesterday, it's been loose for a week now. By this time the horses were making a great fuss and trying to attract attention. ..WhClI do we eat?f' they seemed to ask. Oat pails were clanking, feed bins open- ing, and soft sounds of contentment were heard when Mr. Whitner strode out of the stable, proudly leading Stardust and talking to the jockey who was now seated on the prize filly. NANCY MARTIN CGrade IXD. ffoininent: This is a convincing piece of work. The anthor is obviously at home with her subject ana' fvrofves the point that it is best to write about or at least begin writing about what is familiar to yon. She gets a good atinosphere-we see the stables and the horse, and best of all, the horse is a real character. The description is excellent and creates a fine setting..

A WEDDING IN OLD ATHENS Ulwarded second place in the .lnnior Story COl'I'lf7C'llfl0Il.i AM a girl living in the time of the great general, Pericles, in the beautiful city of Athens. My name is Dorinda. Here in Athens the houses have no beau- tiful gardens at all. Our house is not beautiful, but rather ugly. The beds are hard and the house is dark and stuffy all the time. In fact, the only pleasant place in this house is the great open court sur- rounded by a wall of pillars. My brother, Alexander, who is seven- teen. is away at school, and my sister, Catherine, who is fifteen, is .betrothed to Leander, son of Ignatius. It is on this night of the full moon that she is to be married. Now, from her small room, my sister, Catherine, comes to be prepared for her 60 RUP131zT's. LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL wedding. She is of a fair complexion with raven-colored hair fatlling in cas- cades over her thin shoulders. She wears a blue tunic, matching her eyes. She is sad, for she does not even know Leander, her husband to be. The wedding was arranged without consulting Catherine, the bride. My sister and I are very close, but our appearances are very different, for my hair is brown and my eyes are hazel and my thin tunic is pale green. Our mother awaits us in the open court with two dressmakers holding Catherine's bridal robe. It is breath-taking, made of marble-white silk and embroidered in pastel shades. As the robe-maker comes to- Catherine she is nervous and stands trembling as the beautiful robe is fitted. She is lovely, and when the robe-maker compliments her she smiles nervously. My mother sits on the divan proudly sur- veying her elder daughter. Our mother is close to us bothg she is of a soft voice and is understanding. Her dark brown hair and hazel eyes make her a rare beauty in the light of our eyes. Catherine's bridal outfit is almost com- plete and she goes to her room for her childish toys and treasures to dedicate to the goddess Artemis who watched over her during her childhood. I turn to fol- low, but my mother stays me for Catherine must be alone. Instead I help to weave the bridal wreath that will en- circle Catherine's head. It is woven of fresh red roses, and a heavy veil is fas- tened around it to conceal her face. After some time Catherine emerges from her room carrying her sacrifices and silently passes me. She goes to our mother's room. Overcome she rushes to her and sobs out her grief. The robe- makers are there and the robe is slipped over Catherine's head, for her marriage is to take place soon when the moon is fullest. Her abundant black hair falls in startling contra.st over her white-clad shoulders. The wreath of roses, well-preserved, is placed on her head, and once more the tears begin to course down her cheeks. s . Our mother tenderly wipes them away, and Catherine's veil now covers her face. With her toys she is led to the courtyard and there is waiting Leander, her bride- groom and the guests. Now she dedicates her toys to Artemis, and I hear a tiny gasp as she turns and' looks ,up to Leander. For there stands a stalwart man of a handsome face with laughter in his eyes. Now my father steps forward and offers a sacrifice to the gods and the ceremony is finished. The bridal chariot is drawn up before the door, and, surrounded by guests and my mother, who carries the torch to light the fire on the hearth of the new house, Catherine goesnto the home of her husband. At the house of Leander the fire is lighted on the hearth, and Catherine and Leander stand side by side watching the flames burst into life. Catherine is en- chanting in the firelight, and her ,bowed head gleams as ebony. Leander stands proudly gazing at the youthful beauty of his bride. - I am happy for Catherine, and, as I watch, I pray for my marriage next year when the moon is fullest. My parents and I return home and thus ends the day that transformed my sister from a careless maiden into a lovely bride with the cares of a household set upon her sholuders. PATRICIA MCKNIGHT CGrade VIIU. fC011'L14'l61ll' on two stories submitted by Patricia McKnight: This writer has an alert feeling for character, and seems to understand what goes on in a scho0lgirl's rnind. She obviously likes to write, and far-off places are intriguing. She captured the spirit of Catherine and her sister in old Athens very well. The central per- son in both Mitzi and A Wedding in Old Athens is a real being to this author. S he should watch her sentence structure.

KComment on the six poems submitted by Naomi Boulton: There is an instinctive poetic impulse in these verses, and a maturity which is quite amazing. This set is easily the best. She is quite aware of the loneliness of artistic creation, and has natural taste and refinement of expression. The best poem is Impulse, This is excellent stuff. She has tackled the new form, which is actually more dangerous and dijjicult than the conventional forms Ksonnet, ballad, etc.j, and achieved a full and complete expressrion. It is utterly sincere, and the words follow the mood with a simple charm. The last five lines are extremely fine. There is definite promise in her poetryj Schoolmaster: Jones, spell 'weather'.

S 62 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL T0 A SIX-YEAR OLD Cffwarded Second Place in the Senior Poem Competitionj 4 I saw her first a few days ago. As I came down the stairs, She stood entwined about the Banister, her chubby arms Reaching to grasp the shining Surface of the rail. And, oh, That upward glance from eager eyes Of cornfiower blue, brought to mind The time when I too stood I On the stair, and each new face Descending was a miracle. .ANNE DUFFIN, CGrade XID. KComment.' This is an exquisite little poem. The idea is fragile and had to have the lightest, most delicate handling. There is real artistry in this poem, The wgrd entwined is the only one even slightly ont of line. One, is reminded of the de- light one felt listening to three and fonr- year-olds sing their small fresh songs at the lllnsic Festival. This is indeed a proof of the loveliness of small things. Each new face descending was a miracle is the best phrase I have come across in the competitionj. tThe two following poems were awarded third placel A GREEK SOLDIER'S GRAVE HE snow lies piled in massive drifts of I white, The moon stares coldly down on mountains grey From depths in which the stars alone can play The song composed by silence, space and night- The music of the spheres. The wind in might Has tossed itself against the heights all day Y And now in sobbing grief it dies away, With trembling sigh it softly yields to night. But something more than mountains, stars and snow ' ' Creates the singing of the skies tonight- A human soul, released from what we know As life, begins its last long thrilling Hight To join its Spartan fathers, while below A cross pleads to you, Greece, defend the Right!

And with your shaking, roaring, hollow tune You raise in me Hell or Heaven, I cannot tell- Fires I cannot quench Even here. What strange things do you, Oh wind, struggle so to say, To breathe to my soul- Who or what are you- What do you mean to me? You flap the frightened curtains, You shiver past the house, But you do more to me than that In your wild wandering through the dark- You tear my mind-my heart- H Even here. NAOMI BOULTON, CGrade XID. THE EAGLE 63 FAREWELLS HIS summer we say good-bye with regret to several members of the Staff-old friends and more recent ac- quaintances. Miss Ralston, class-teacher of Grade VII and President of Machray House, has left us, after five years at Rupert 's Land, to enter the Civil Service in Ottawa. She has made many friends Who will miss her greatly, all of whom join in wishing her the best of luck in her new venture. As senior mathematics teacher and class teacher of Grade IX, Miss Herkes has also been with us for tive years, and now leaves to continue school work elsewhere. We have come to rely on Miss Herkes for House averages and the solution of mathe- matical problems of all kinds. Dalton House especially will miss her in its ac- tivities. Whether she remains in Manitoba or goes' east, may she be happy and suc- cessful in her career. Mrs. Fenton, an old friend of the school, returned to us for a year as Matron, during which time boarders, day- girls and staif have benefitted'much by her sympathetic care at all times. We hope that she will still keep in touch with us, for her association with the school is a long-standing one. We have come to know Miss Macdonald well during the past year when, as teach- er of the kindergarten and junior and middle ,school singing, she has come in contact with many members of the school. The Glee Club has enjoyed her leader- ship, and we all .remember her delightful singing at the School Variety Show. Miss Macdonald is very talented in dramatics, and is to be congratulated on winning the Manitoba Drama League award for the best female performance in the recent drama competition. Miss Macdonald is leaving us to be married at her home in Nova. Scotia, she takes with her our most sincere and aiectionate good wishes for her future happiness. When Miss Foster left us at Christmas to begin training in nursing at the Gen- eral Hospital, she left a very big gap in the school. Her kind and thoughtful care of the boarders for several years, as well as her teaching of Canadian History and Latin, and presidency of Machray House, were roles which were hard to fill. We are glad to see Miss Foster often, and to hear that she is both happy and success- ful in her course. Mrs. Derby who came to take Miss Foster 's classes for the half year, identified herself very quickly with the life of the school. Both staff and pupils have greatly enjoyed their asso- ciation with her, and regret that it has been so short.

Her dramatic ability has been a great asset to Jones House, for she has produced two excellent plays. She is Jones House Captain and likes to play tennis and to sing. Anne's ambition is to travel and writeg it may be some time before she fulfils the former, but the latter is well on the way. O PHYLLIS GOULDING. Goldie, a hockey fiend, has been at Rupert's Land since grade eight, and has topped these nve years by becoming Dalton House Captain. She is a member of the first basketball team four impregnable defencej and is also a champion tennis and badminton player. Goldie has two overwhelming desires: to become a scientist and to join the Waafs. 0 MARGARET TOMKINS. Rupe will suffer a great loss when Tinker leaves this year, for in school life she has been an active asset since 1930. She is a Machray House Prefect, she won the Gym Cup last year, and is also a first team member. Tinker is everybody's friend and as a future V.A.D. we feel sure this char- acteristic will be of great benefit to her career which will also include a business course. - 0 ANNE CUNNINGHAM. Because Anne is our Head Girl we do not feel that we can do her justice in this al- lotted space, therefore we have placed her in more capable hands. CSee page 22.5 A 0 LoLA MARSON. During Lola's seven years alt Rupe she has shone as an athlete, having, won many gym cupsg this is one of the factors which has made Lola such an excellent Matheson House and School Sports Captain. Lola delights in playing golf at unearthly hours of the morning. Her plans for the future include an Arts course. THE EAGLE 65 NELL ELSEY. Nellie, coming from Kelvin, has brought glory to grade twelve, for she was named best male character in the House Drama Competition for her role in the Dalton play, and she also used her lovely voice in singing and being master of ceremonies at our Variety Show. Nellie is returning next year to com- plete her grade twelve, and after that she finds a nurse's career very tempting. A 0 SHIRLEY POTTER. Although Shirley came only last year, she fitted into our school life so quickly that she is this year's Machray House Captain. She has a weak- ness for modern poetry and despite the solemn picture at left, so fitting for the leading scholar in grade XII, she is really one of the wittiest members of the class. Her plans for the future are not quite decided, but she thinks they will include an Arts course. O PATRICIA CLAYDON. Pat, a quiet, even-tempered member of Jones House, can almost always be found with Tinker Tomkins. She is Shirley's cousin and therefore did not seem altogether a new girl when she came to Rupe last fall. Pat likes to swim and her hobby is collecting records, swing and otherwise. She plans either to go to University or join the Wrens. O SHIRLEY CLAYIION. Although Shirley was nicknamed Mrs, Dynamite at Lakeside fresh air camp last sum- mer, she artistically portrayed an angel in the Jones House Play. She is on the school Council, and her gorgeous strawberry blond hair is the envy of us all. An excellent basketball player, she is a member of the first team, and her future plans point towards a nurs- ing career. 6 NAOMI BOIULTON. Naomi is the class poet Cfor proof look more closely into this magazinej. She is an accom- plished artist and delves deeply into the fascinating art of palmistry. She came to us from Kelvin and dis- played her dramatic ability by humorously portraying the king in the Dalton House Play. Naomi is con- sidering school-teaching as a profession but her mind is not definitely made up. RUPERTi,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL JEAN LAW. Jean came to us and to Matheson House in October from the Norwood Collegiate and has already established herself as an excellent business-woman by ably managing our Red Cross effort. She intends to to take either Arts or Commerce next year and we feel sure, although our contact with her has-been short, she could manage either very well. ' - 6 ,IOCRLYN FIsHER. Jocey, a Dalton girl, is a real old- timer, for she has been at Rupe since kindergarten, although she was away for the Hrst term of this year. She is always ready to laugh and this stands her in good stead, as an active member of the U.S.C. Jocey, after many changes of mind, has decided that science is her calling. 6 JOCELYN HIGHMOOR- Jocelyn, besides being an admirable Dalton House Prefect, was the mainstay of the grade twelve Red Cross Effort because of her hobby, photo- graphy: she not only took photographs but also amazed us by developing and printing them herself. VVhether her career will make use of her photographic talent we cannot tell, but her immediate plans include an Arts course at University. 0 CHRISTINE BRIDGETT. Although Chris spends most of her time collecting money Cshe is class president, and treasurer for Jones House and the Literary Societyj she still manages to remain very popular. Chris comes from Dauphin and is the type of person who is never idle.
