THE EAGLE X 15 MISS BARTLE TT S LETTER MY DEAR GIRLS: h HERE are two ideas which at this .f A tfme are predominant in the minds of all democracies. The first is that victory must be won, that all our best efforts must be thrown into this stupen- dous task. Then, when that victory is an accomplished fact, we next have to face the even more exacting problems of life in the post-war world. This is an age of advertisement, of slogans and catch phrases. Put Vic- tory First and Post-War Reconstruc- tion are words constantly in our ears. We all talk about them, we all think about them and have our own ideas about them. Groups everywhere, not only of experts but of ordinary people, are gathering together and discussing these problems. Youth Also Plan is yet another arresting-headline used re- cently in connection with the Youth Conference. Now, arresting and force- ful as these captions may be, there is a certain danger in them which we all would do well to recognize and deter- mine to avoid. In our busy lives there is a tendency for us to think that when we have, as it were, labelled a thing, given it a title and have flung that title out on a banner, that is all we need do. Or perhaps, you younger people may feel that there is not much more that you can do. But will you look a little closer? f Behind that Victory Loan slogan, what do we find? A vast host of workers is there, from the Chairmen of the Federal, Provincial and District Committees right down to the canvassers who go to private homes, working through weeks and months Ln geaseless, unrelaxed efforts, to carry the thing through. Otherwise it could not e one. Side by side with this work, so essential to the achievement of victory, untiring research has been carried on, and is continuing, into the possibilities of fulfilling our hopes for that better world for which we long. There are very numerous schemes, and exhaustive studies are being made by our ablest men and women. Our own Provincial Government has a very comprehensive programme in hand, some thirty or more fields of study being under consideration. All this work can be accomplished only by men and women who are disciplined so that they can carry on through weari- ness and through difficulties to their ultimate goal. And now what can youth do, what can you do? Obviously you are not fitted yet to conduct such research as I have .hinted at. But you can think, you can watch for reports in the newspapers, you can strive to equip yourselves for the part you will be called upon to play in later days. And catch phrases and slogans alone will not help you to do that. It is for you to avail yourselves of all your opportunities at school, to acquire sound knowledge and above all to develop the kind of character that alone can turn knowledge to good account. And character is developed step by step, every least detail of behaviour is importantg you may not think that anything you do does not matter. You have at all times a tremendous responsibility which you cannot escape. the responsibility of seeing' that your influence is such that it does not hinder anyone near you. All high ideals, all great achievements are reached only' as a result of painstaking effort and sustained hard work. So do not feel discouraged when you see such tremendous tasks ahead and feel that you are so inadequate for them. Be faithful in all the little things that make up your life, paying attention to detail, and with strength of purpose keeping your goal before you: in that way you will be able to win the greatest victory of all, the victory over self which will enable you to serve your generation as you would wish. . Yours affectionately, X ELSIE M. BARTLETT. 16 RUPE1iT's LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL EDITORIAL T? UE to the paper shortage, the War Time Prices and Trades Board has rationed the amount of paper used in our Year Book, so this year The Eagle is somewhat smaller than it has been in previous years--just slightly less than two-thirds the size of last ,year's issue. We have managed to conserve space in our Candid Camera section, because the girls have experienced difficulty in obtaining films for their cameras. However, we have not allowed this most interesting feature of the magazine to fade away entire-ly, and you will find, this year, a one page Candid Camera section. A new idea has .been used with the pages devoted to graduates of Grades Eleven and Twelve, and we shall be interested to receive the reactions of -our readers. ' Last year in the centre of the magazine we published a group picture of the whole School, from Kindergarten to Grade Twelve. This allowed our readers to see the girls as a group, and also revealed the increasing number of girls in the School. This year we have reverted to the form pictures which are very popular with the girls, and which this year include the form teachers. I ' NVe are always very grateful for the continued support andeffort of the Alumnae who do so much for the School that each year we look forward to reading theliri article. This year we have especially featured the Alumnae section, and you will notice art work by Anne Cunningham, a poem by Naomi Boulton, and a new recipe from Miss Katherine Middleton-which I am sure you will.be eager to try. VVe know that the publication of The Eagle is keenly anticipated by all who are interested in the affairs of Rupert's Land. Through' its columns many have received their First impressions of the School, while those leaving invariably keep The Eagle as a treasured souvenir. Your Editorial Committee this year takes this opportunity to put forward the suggestion that an endeavour should be made each year to improve and increase reader interest. With this in mind, would it not be af gofod idea if, begin- ning next term, girls who have an opportunity to read the year books of other schools, make an analysis of the composition of such magazines, then report on features and articles which they consider outstanding? They might notice the average amount of space devoted to art, photography, sports, original work, the graduates, the quality of the paper used, the methods of arranging group and individual pictures. 'Let them next compare their findings with the arrangement of The Eagle, and make their suggestions to the Editorial Committee. In this way, they will be able to contribute much to the improvement of our own School magazine. To accomplish this it will be necessary to start as soon as possible after the beginning of the next school yearc. Your Editorial Committee will, I know, be very grateful for any suggestions. Our School activities have continued during the past year in their normal way. During this terrible war, we should be especially grateful that we are living in Canada, where we are privileged to continue our studies without' interruption. We have all heard men and women, returning home to Canada, tell of their experiences in the occupied countries-schools bombed, books burned, teachers and students ill-treated, and so many lives lost. The aggressor nations have reason to fear the principles of Democracy and our methods of education. They know that from the time we are old enough to understand such things, we are taught the meaning of tolerance and respect. Writing this editorial for The Eagle is a sad reminder to me that my final school year is fast drawing to a close, and memories and impressions come' crowding THE EAGLE 17 along. I have so often asked myself, What is it that makes Rupert's Land mean so much to the girls? There are many factors, of course, but chiefiy I think it is because of the very real feeling of comradeship between the girls-from the tiniest tots in Kindergarten to the members of the Graduating Class. To them all it is a case of All for one, one for all, and all for Rupe . NVe find the staff so keenly interested in each girl as an individual. VVe know the long history and traditions associated with the School, and we know of the achievements of so many of its graduates. We meet so many daughters of graduates of days gone by. This all combines to create an atmosphereiauguring well for the continued happiness, growth and success of Rupert's Land. That I have been able to attend the School for so long is a privilege sincerely appreciated, and having had the very great honor of being your Head Girl has made this, my final year at Rupert's Land, the happiest yet.f I share with the other members of the Graduating Class their regret at having to leave the School, and would like to say how very grateful I am to the Stan, and to the girls, for their splendid co-operation. I am especially grateful to Miss Bartlett for her patience, understanding, and very willing guidance. To the Graduating Class l wish the very best of luck in the future, and, as our paths divide, may we ever remember the School motto Alta Petensf, ' GERTRLYDIQ lil..-XN'll tlelead Girll. THE KINDERGARTEN tAbsent: Joanne Protheroeb RUPERT's LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL THE HEAD GIRL NOTHER school year is drawing to a close bringing not only restless thoughts of summer holi- days, but also inevitable feelings of regret that once more there will be fare- wells to be said to those who are leaving us this June. This page is devoted to the girl Whom we all know well, for as Head Girl during the past year, Gertrude Eland has been in close touch with us through all. our school activities. VVe cannot claim Ger- trude as a native Mani- toban, for she spent the first three years of her life in Victoria. Edmonton claimed her next for a short time, and then her - GER-I-RUDE EL-AND family moved' to VVinnipeg: a chubby little girl entered Grade V of R.L.S. in 1937, and Gertrude's school career really began. W'e may trace her through the pages of Dalton House records, becoming a junior Lieutenant, School Prefect and Enally this year House Captain and Head Girl, and filling all these positions most capably. Although not particularly concerned with athletics, Gertrude is fond of tennis, has played on the volley-ball team for her House, and has proved a most reliable scorekeeper in inter-school basketball matches. She is fond of science, music and literature, and as Vice-President of the Literary Society has been a keen supporter of that club. Interest in the future policy of The Eagle and efficiency in handling this edition has been characteristic of her as co-editor. Gertrude will probably take a course in Physiotherapy at Toronto University when she is old enough, and perhaps will fill in time profitably, after leaving school, studying operational work in Radio. We are sure that she will be successful in her career, for she has qualities of reliability, steadiness and thoroughness, with a quick response to suggestion. As our comrade in school she has shown much more than mere efficiency in carrying out her duties: she has revealed tact and sympathy, high principles, steadfastness of purpose, and always an intelligent loyalty which has put before her own interests, those of the school which she has loved and served.

KATHARINE E. RoBINsoN tPresidentj. Alumnae of R.L.S. have been busy in many fields, as individuals, in groups, and in the Alumnae Association. We're very proud of our forty alumnae who are active in the armed forces, and many others not in any particular uniform, but working hard at numerous war jobs. Margaret Konantz CMrs. Gordon, nee Margaret Rogersl, to mention one of our most distinguished alumnae, has been do- ing such miraculous Work in organizing volunteer work in Winiiipeg, that she has been sent by the Dominion Government numerous times to other parts of Canada, to explain and encourage W.V.S. work, and was one of the four Canadian Women sent to Britain this past Winter for a three Weeks' study of W.V.S. Work there. Mar- garet Was the guest speaker at our Annual Alumnae Luncheon in April, and she gave us an hilarious as Well as informative ac- count of her trip. Over there she met Mrs. Geoffrey Barford CChristine Lyalll, who is doing Y.M.C.A. canteen work, as well as her share of war-work being done by British housewives, and is a Justice of the Peace for her county: Enid Rogers has been driving a motor ambulance for the last four years, while Mrs. Andrew Grant CBetty Galtj is doing special war- Work at Oxford, and Mary Harding is in the postal service at Canada House: Marion McDonald is doing canteen work in British Columbia House, as a member of the St. lohn's Ambulance Corps. ,lean Machray Newman has returned from Eng- land with her eighteen-months-old daugh- ter, and is at present staying with her mother.

The annual basketball match between old and present girls was held at the school in January, and was won by First Team Present Girls and Second Team Old Girls ibut we must confess that the Old Girls' team were largely very recent a1umnae!J. The dance, held in February at the school, netted us 310418, which is set aside for one of our scholarships. Congratu- lations are in order to the committee, who worked like beavers to put it over with a bang-and did! The younger alumnae were particularly ardent workers, and under the chairmanship of Barbara Hamon Aldous did a very fine job. This year the executive and a few other alumnae will entertain the graduates at tea, as we did last year. This happy, informal war-party will take place on June 3rd, at the University Women's Club. The annual church service, to which all present and old girls are invited, is to be held Sunday, June 11th, at Holy Trinity Church, through the courtesy of the Rev. Terence Finlay, and we have invited Canon Pierce of St. John's College to preach the sermon. MARRIAGES-To mention but a few: Anne Goodeve to Lieut. Gerald R. Wood, R.C.N.V.R. Sheila de C.

WRAITH8 OF THE DUSK I am not alone. Beings flow around me Pulling at the silence Swaying with the trees Balancing slowly, gravely, in the wind, Unseen, unheard- But felt in the slumbering hidden Paths of the mind. There they silently dance and swirl, Shedding a glinting twilight on the dark- ness Of my groping heart. But someone shouts to me from the house And they vanish, The glimmering wraiths from other worlds Are lost ..... My heart is dark again, Alone, cold once more As I return.

The Treasure Hunt, cleverly planned by Joan and Sheila, was good fun. -After supper was over, Joyce presented Miss Eldred with a School ring on behalf of the House, and expressed our appreciation of all she had done for us and our regret at losing her. We were sorry, too, to lose Miss Punter at Christmas. Again, for the Mission Tea, Matheson shared the dining room with Dalton, where fiowers, candles and a variety of dainties, the work of the artistic efforts of the committee, made the table attrac- tive. Thanks are due to the mothers who poured, and to the other kind friends whose help made our Mission effort a success. In Sports our teams are working hard. The results so far are third 'place in volley-ball. Deck tennis and tennis are not decided yet. As we near the end of the school year we express our thanks to Miss Sharman and Miss Speers for their help, and to Margaret and her Executive. for their efforts. We resolve again to improve in conduct, in sports and in work. To Sheila, who returned from Ottawa, sharing the Dominion Junior Pairs Championship, our special congratulations.

However, it was with regret that Machray bade fare- well to Miss Gordon, who left us for special war work. Machray and Jones House combined to make a large amount at the annual Mis- sion Tea, held December 4, in the As- sembly Hall. All the girls showed their enthusiasm and were co-operative in per- forming their various duties. Machray House has stood first in work all year, and while our conduct and sports have pulled us down, we managed to main- tain the position of third and second in Christmas and Easter Terms respectively. We have great hopes with regard to the tennis and deck tennis matches to be play- ed in the Summer term. At the end of another happy year I would like, on behalf of the girls of Machray House, to thank Miss Eldred, Miss Smith and Pat Chesshire for the help they have given the House this year, and to bid farewell to the graduates, with our THE EAGLE 23 best wishes for their future happiness, and to wish Machray House the best of luck in the coming year.

A Dalton House party was held on Nov- ember 5th, and the girl were in pairs sharing sandwiches and cookies. An amus- ing play about life in the l7th century was put on by Daphne Goulding, June Sinden, Amy Best and Joyce Aitken. In- teresting games were arranged and every- one enjoyed herself. As planned. the Silver Tea for the Mis- sion in India was held on December 4th. Again Matheson and Dalton shared the dining-room. The table was decorated with blue and silver streamers and a centre-- piece of yellow chrysanthemums. Mrs. Purdie made a chocolate cake, and 37.85 was made by raffling it. Dalton and Matheson made 3,375.00 between them, by contributions from the guests. III sports, Dalton came first in volley- ball, senior and intermediate, and in bas- ketball. Conduct has been good, but work could be improved. Deck tennis and ten- nis have not been played yet, but Dalton is proud of her achievements. On behalf of the House, I wish to thank Miss Turner, Mrs. Purdie and Miss New- ton and Gertrude. as well as the other House officials, for their work this year. I wish the best of luck to the girls of Dalton House who are leaving in June, and to all other members who will be returning next year. SHELAGH FISHER, tSecretary-Treasurerj , MISSIONS S it'has for many years in the past, the School again raised money for the carrying on of mission work in Canada and India. By the Annual Mission Tea. held on December 4th, we raised 55160.06 for the support of missionary work. One hundred dol1ars'of this was sent to the Zenana Bible and Medical Mission, through which organization part of the money is sent to support a baby in the Eva L. Jones Memorial Cot at the Canada Hospi- tal fthe only Canada Hospital in Indial. Part goes to support an Indian girl at the Kangra Mission Girls' School, and part to help pay the salary of a teacher at the school. I Of the rest of the money raised by the tea, twenty-tive dollars were given to sup- port the work of the Sunday School by Post. This money is used to buy supplies of much-needed material which is mailed 24 RUPERr's LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL or taken to families whose only knowledge of. and communication with Christianity is derived from information given them by workers in this mission. At the end of the Easter term Miss I-Iasell came a11d spoke to us. , The remaining 335.06 will be used for home missionary needs which arise during the year. The usual bundle of trinkets and pictures was sent from School to serve as Christmas presents for little In- dian children at Kamsack, Saskatchewan. The missionary effort is well worth sup- porting. and because of the competent and eager manner in which the girls worked to make this year's Mission Tea a success, I am confident that the girls of Rupert's Land will continue to aid in the work be- ing done in Canada and India. i :AMY QT. 0 0 0 0 1' ox fi 'N oQ 'L lkQi1,,---ESQ!

Nearly every grade in the School has made an effort to raise some money to go to the Red Cross, as well as doing their share of knitting. Grades I and II have a bank in their classroom where all their spare pennies go. and this is given to the Red Cross. The children are learning to knit, so that when they reach Grades III and IV they will be able to make useful things needed so much to help win the war. Grades III and IV have been working hard collecting silver paper, and making an artistically designed afghan. Besides this, they made a large scrapbook for children. ' Grades V and VI held two raffles, one for a chocolate block and one for a cake, which raised approximately 326.00. They also made 32.83 from a fish pond and 32.27 on a raffle of a fretwork stringer. Their' prohts were divided between the Russian Relief, the Crippled Children's Fund and the Copper Trail. A large bundle of clothing was donated to the Greek Relief, and washcloths, scarves, socks, gloves, baby garments and one turtleneck sweater were knitted by pupils of Grades V and VI. , This year Grade VII have been concen- trating on their knitting and have made six washcloths, several baby bonnets, boot- ees, and some baby squares. Their raffle of a doll dressed in School uniform brought in the splendid sum of 321.00. The room has been divided into two groups-the Eagles and the Ravens - for competition in buying War Savings Stamps. Grade VIII had a very original idea of raising money. They raffled three baby rabbits, making 310.00. Knitted garments including washcloths, scarves, a sleeveless sweater and an afghan were made during the year. In the Easter term a class news- paper was printed, and 37.00 profit was obtained. A popcorn sale netted 310.25 for Grade IX- at the beginning of the year. They have knitted nine washcloths, three navy scarves, army socks and some baby gar- ments. The activities of Grade X have been many this year, 1943-44. A successful raffle on a doll's house was held during the Christmas term, making 311.40. A variety show, was presented in March, which, much to the surprise of the girls, netted 320.00. Ten dollars was given to the Chinese Children's War Relief, and 320.00 was given to the Prisoners of War THE EAGLE 25 Fund. Meetings were held regularly each week, and many garments were knitted during this time. A big afghan was made, and lined with white Hannelette. Seven- teen washcloths, six scarves, two sweaters, a pair of socks and a turtleneck tuck-in have all been made by Grade X. Grade XI have made some baby night- gowns and some diapers. Grade X11 has knitted enough squares to complete an afghan. BETTY BA KER. WAR SAVINGS From April, 1943, to April, 1944, 3841.00 was invested in VVar Savings by the girls of the School. .f lt I.

TENNIS Last Summer Term, owing to rain, the House tennis matches had to be left out. However, the Senior Tournament was held, and won by Phyllis Goulding, with Anne Duffin as runner-up. BASKETBALL This year, as always, the girls of the basketball teams have shown great enthus- iasm. The games against St. Mary's Acad- emy and Riverbend have not been as suc- cessful as other years, but the spirit and enjoyment have been the same. The results are as follows: First Team- A .Friday, Nov. 12th, vs. St. Mary's Cawayj -lost 12-35. Friday, Nov. 26th, vs. Riverbend Chomej -won 25-14.

After a very strenuous game the First Team won 9-5, but the Second Team, although they played a hard game, lost 6-40. The hnal game for the Inter-Form Bas- ketball was played between Grades X and XI. After one of the most spectacular On Friday evening, annual Old Girls game I SECOND BASKETBALL TEAM games of the year, and an overtime, Grade X won the title, 14-12. Dalton won the House Basketball this year, obtaining 23 points. VOLLEYBALL This year, as there was no House Bad- minton, there were two Volleyball teams instead of one: the Middle School Team, which had girls from Grades VII to IX. and the Senior Team. Everyone enjoyed both teams' games. Dalton came top in the Senior School with 94 points, and in the Middle School with 84 points. THE GYMNASTICS COMPETITION On Thursday, March 30th, the Gymnar- tics Competition was held, with Miss For- sythe and Mrs. Lawrence as judges. The results given out at the Physical Training Competition were: Senior Cup-Sheila Smith. lntermediate Cup-Barbara Copeland, Shelagh McKnight Ctiedj. Junior Cup--Joan Everett. Midget Cup-Roberta Gray. Grades I and I1-Elizabeth Gill. The Cups will be presented at the annual Prize-Giving on June 16th.

THE NINTHA COMPANY GIRL GUIDES AGAIN, as usual, the Guides have had a successful and enjoyable year. Many new recruits were enrolled, and now we have some second class badges on the way. During the year we were very fortun- ate in having as our Captain, Mrs. Gost- ling, an ol'd girl of our School, and for a while, Miss Pat Chown, as our Lieuten- ant. However, as she was unable to carry on, Betty Baker took over. This year, as last year, we again play- ed the part of Santa Claus by collecting old and new toys from the neighborhood. As our war effort, we have been busy knitting squares for an afghan, and al- though it is not Finished, it is well on the way. The Guides spent a very enjoyable after- noon in Brownie Land, telling the world- wide story of Guides. After singing and talking, the Brownies gave us a lovely surprise of cake and ice cream, which all ate heartily. Thank you, Brownies, it was lots of fun. Our best Patrol, the Red Rose, went to the district meeting to compete for the District Cup, and although they did not come First. we are very proud of them. Congratulations, Red Rose Patrol! Keep it up! We have all enjoyed this year of Guides very much, and we all join in thanking very sincerely those who have helped us so much. Happy holidays, everyone! DORERN' GIBSON. BROWNIE LAND Something magic, something new, Something magic, something true, Singing in plenty, a story to tell, Something to make you healthy and well. HIS magic formula for a-Brownie meeting has proved fun. We have four Brownies working for their Golden Hand Badge, and fourteen studying hard for their Golden Bar Badge. On Thinking Day, 22nd February, we had Mrs. J. H. McDonald, Centre Div. Comm., and the Guides of the 9-th Co., as guests. The .Brownies enjoyed working for the Brownie Singing Competition, and are de- termined to do better next time. Twenty-two Brownies attended Church Parade on Sunday, 23rd April-all very happy to have Mrs. Purdie, in uniform, with them. VVe are growing, and we look forward to greater things in 1944-1945.

All classes concentrated on Greek technique for the first part of the year, but this term, despite measles and chickenpox, the Seniors have mastered an athletic dance and a colorful scarf dance. A technical practice and a lyric dance are the particular pride of the Intermediates, while the juniors' repertoire boasts a class- work display and an interpretative fire-fly dance. Less tenseness of movement and more sympathy with the music than at the beginning of the year is noticeable in every class, and we are all looking for- ward to proving this at our performance at the Dancing and Music Festival on the 17th of May. JUNE SINUEN. MUSIC URING the past year the piano de- partment, under Miss jackson, was augmented by two new teachers, owing to the large number of pupils who registered for lessons. These teachers are Miss Gwendda Owen Davies and Miss Marjorie Dillabough. Mr. Hubble has continued his hue work with the Senior Singing Class, and Miss Frances Davidson has taken the Middle School and Junior Singing Classes, as well as teaching the Manitoba School requirements in music in the Lower School. Our activities during the year have been varied and many. We have had several studio club meetings, at which most of the students have performed. The Annual Recital takes place on May 17th. During the year a few of the senior students play- ed at the Registered Music. Teachers' Association Recitals, held in the Music and Arts Building. Some pupils took part in The Manitoba Musical Festival, and re- ceived very good adjudications. This year some of the senior girls have played the piano for morning and evening prayers, which has been excellent experience for them. Many students have been prepared for examinations in piano, history and theory, for the Toronto Conservatory of Music, Manitoba Music Department, and the Lon- don Royal Schools of Music. In view of last year's excellent results we are hoping for good success this June. Our thanks are due to all the teachers who have done such fine work. JEANNE BEATTY. I 3 ff , , Emp SH.

This class has dabbled in pottery, basket-weaving, and loom-weaving. The class has unanimously been interested in handicrafts. In the Junior Art Class, the pupils have derived a great deal of enjoyment and benefit from drawing their class-mates in various poses. The mem.bers of this group have begun to experiment with clay, most of their time at the present being taken up with reproducing the budding leaves and flowers, which the pupils enthusias- tically bring to class for this purpose.

R , any 5 --1 fa mt' Q t -We -A A i 1 ,,,,, . INCE the departure of Miss Kennedy, a trained and experienced librarian, who kept our books in splendid order and train- ed a capable staff of young helpers, the Library has undoubtedly suffered from lack of skilled attention, and we have this year faced the fact that a thorough re- organization is needed. This involveis weeding out books which have lost their value and those which have become too THE'E tattered to bear further' repair, as well as replacing and supplementing our stock, ex- tending the scope of the Library, and re- cataloguing it effectively. Through small yearly grants from School funds, as well as by occasional gifts from friends, books have been added from time to time, but a much more thorough tackling of 'the job of providing a thoroughly up-to-date Lib- rary lies before us. Often have we sighed for more table space to enable a larger number of girls to use the Library at the same time, much have we longed for an extended range of books of reference and fiction to meet more adequately the readers' demands, most of all have we deplored the fact that crowded syllabuses make it impossible for the most ardent reader Cpupil or teacherj to tind time for adequate supple- mentary reading. This last, at present be- yond our jurisdiction, promises to be help- ed by the suggested extension of the high school course, we do not at present see our way to overcoming our first draw- back, but concerning the second we can do much. Thanks to generous gifts of money from the fathers of two of our present students, and timely offers of help from the General AGLE N Board of the School and the Alumnae Association, plans are now afoot to make substantial improvements in the Library. Under the chairmanship of Mrs. R. E. Lee, a committee has been formed, con- sisting of Miss Pamela Hutchins, Miss Sylvia Turner and Mr. R. H. G. Bonny- castle, to investigate the matter. It is hoped that when School reopens next Sep- tember, there will be tangible evidence of the work of this committee. A list of books needed in the Library will be kept on file at the School, and those who feel drawn to helping us can do so in no more valuable way than by contributing one or more of these volumes. Surely many who read these lines can look back on school days, when by opening the pages of a book and turning the leaves, a new world of imagination and fact was discovered. If we can give our young people a knowledge of how to handle books and a friendly and self-reliant familiarity with a well-stocked library, we are going to send them out into the world-not educated, but well launched into the pro- cess of education, and with resources of happiness which will last them for a life- time.

Pat Chesshire 'W HIS has been a successful year for the Literary Society, although our mem- bership has been lower than usual, being thirty-one. Ten meetings have been held, five of which took place during the Christmas Term. These included a programme based on The Story of San Michele, by Axel Munthe, given by Amy Best and Patty Gladstoneg a discussion of Antoine de Saint Exupery's great work, Wind, Sand and Stars, prepared by ,lean Robison and Joyce Aitken, a visit from Miss McCance, who talked enthusiastically on Basic Eng- lishg and a mock trial, The Crown vs. Alice Hopkins, presented at an open meet- ing in the Assembly Hall by members of the Club, under the direction of Miss Turner who wrote the script. The hrst meeting of our second school term was taken by Miss Turner, who read us an abridged version of The Countess Cathleenf' by W. B. Yeats. The following meetings were taken up by a discussion of Lassie, Come Home, given by Diana McDougall and Ruth Stiles: a talk on James Hilton's stirring Lost Hori- zon, by Pat Chesshire and Elizabeth Gem- mill: a literary competition, prepared by the Club Executive: and for our own final meeting, a most enjoyable visit from Miss K. Parker, who read us the fine poem, For the Fallen, by Lawrence Binyon, and also Brief Candles, by the same author. The Executive wishes to thank all those who have contributed to the Club's success by their co-operation and effort, and especially do we wish to thank Miss Turner for all her help and encourage- ment, and for the time and work she has devoted to our interests. VVe would also like to offer our sincerest good wishes to Club members and wish them every suc- cess in the future.

Soon the fiaxen curls vanished and apparitions in a dozen clothes-pegged braids appearedg with shoe laces tied to- gether, these freaks could be seen duck- ing out of the harmless CPD way of well- meaning QFD old girls. Never will they forget the humiliating experiences of climbing stairs in the most extraordinary fashions, going through the mill escorted by their closest friends, carrying their dollies and teddy bears, bunny-hopping and rolling peanuts with their noses, all added to the excitement of the first part of our Initiation Day. Old girls and their friends were enter- tained by Bingling, Bungling and Bunk- um's Circus, for the first time in the history of Rupert's Land, and it was a great success. The bugle blasted, the crowd grew tense, as in burst a jovial group of acrobats, who immediately threw themselves on the Hoor, showing off their talents by stand- ing on their heads, throwing wads of paper around the room, doing the splits and sliding on the floor in waste-paper baskets -all at once. Ballet dancers attired in the most elegant costumes of satin and celanese played rugby with a basketball. Then came the highlight of the evening, when the new members of the staff appeared, dressed smartly in the regulation School uniform. Led by their P. T. teacher, who bore a striking CPD resemblance' to our Miss Far- aday, they were given a brisk lesson on the co-ordination of mind and muscle. Continual interruptions were caused by the persistent thumb-sucking, dropping of dolls, and cooing of some of the little girls. I Then terror struck the hearts of all when two citizens, obviously of the Cave Man Age, burst into the room, scantily dressed in their leopard skins only. We were about to witness one of the most fascinating courtships, consisting of a wild chase about the room, as the wooer Hour- ished his love token-a club-towards his future wife, who accepted him with shrieks. These were the main items of the programme. Finally the weary initiates were allowed to retire in order to make themselves look more presentable. They then joined the old girls in an evening of dancing and games. We wish to thank Miss Jackson, who provided music for the happy even- ing, which closed at 10.15 with the tradi- tional singing of Auld Lang Synef' EVELYN LA WRENCE. THORA SCANLAN. THE EAGLE 31 fphotography Competition We wish to express our thanks to Dr. Leach for so kindly judging our Competition at very short notice. The three best landscape photographs are printed below, and also Dr. l.each's comments. This sunset print is, I think, quite the best entry. The position of the boat is very good: this and the mass of vegetation on the right make it more inter- esting than the average photograph of this type. It would, however, be definite- ly improved if a quarter of an inch were cut off the right hand side, and of course it should be printed so that the horizon is level. First Place-Taken by Gladys McNair. This is a print of a very simple subject which is often difficult to make into a satisfac- tory picture. The mass of foam on the right is just about in the . correct position to give good composition, and holds the eye T in the picture very well-it is also nicely balanced by the boat on the left. I , Second P1806-Taken by Janet Knowler. In this print the arrangement of the three mountains forms a nice rhythmic group from left to right. The reflec- tions in the water give a good balance to the interesting sky-line, and the faint clouds relieve what would otherwise have been an uninteresting sky. Third P1300-Taken by Joanne Ruttan.

HOME ECONOMICS NTHUSIASTICALLY, and yet with . some trepidation, eleven Grade X stu- dents embarked on the Home Economics Course this year. All healthy young people are, of course, gastronomesg hence the enthusiasm with which we took up this particular course. On the other hand, our efforts in the realm of cooking had to be tested gastronomicallyg hence our trepidation as to just how our efforts would turn out. The vitamins were our first concern. Fortunately, our knowledge of the use of the alphabet is limited to an A, a couple of B's, a C and a D-then the minerals, Iron, Copper and Iodine: also the values of Calcium and Phosphorous in our daily diet. The practical lessons in cooking, however, were simply delightful. Some- times our pastry would turn out light and flaky, and sometimes it must be con- fessed, it would turn out soggy and heavy. How truly remarkable it is that a slight variation in the quantities of the ingred- ients has such a deleterious effect. 'The writer's piece de resistance was a recent attempt to make a so-called sausage roll. In some unaccountable manner the result is best described by saying that the unfortunate sausage became embedded in a cylindrical pastry covering that would have served well as a miniature baseball bat. Nil desperandum. Better luck next time. Rationing has made it difficult to pro- cure all the necessary ingredients to per- mit our following the usual recipes in our practical cooking lessons, but the fact re- mains that We have enjoyed immensely our initial incursion into the science of Home Economics. One of the highlights of the year was a visit to the Manitoba Sugar Company. Here we were able to study at first hand the various processes by which sugar is manufactured from the vegetable sugar beet. Unfortunately, however, the atmos- phere was a little too highly scented for comfort-in fact, a gas mask might have helped a lot! Our grateful and sincere thanks are due to our teacher, Mrs. Allgood.

The clear, business-like voice of Mrs. Allgood, the Home Economics teacher, issued these orders, and now, apart from the occasional groan of a distracted soul, and'the happy clanking of Bumping Bessie, our dear old treadle machine, silence is securely enthroned in the sewing room. The hum of the electric sewing-machine directs our attention to Elizabeth Gemmill, who is casually whipping together a gray wool pleated skirt. A brown and white striped pinafore recently materialized under the deft fingers of our No. 1 seamstress, who is now planning to con- struct a honey-coloured wool skirt. Slower progress is being made in an- other part of the room, where a brown beige and red wool skirt refuses to go around the anxiously squirming body of Phyllis Petrie. From the difficulties into which this good sewer occasionally got, in making her red checked pinafore, only Mrs. Allgood could extricate her. Bunny Dower has managed to remain calm in the face of difficulties, and as a result has made a charming dark brown wool jumper, and is now starting a green silk rayon blouse. Olive Nolman, who works alongside Bunny, despondently as- sured us during the first term that her efforts would produce only an old sack, but instead a well-made dress of a lovely bright red emerged: so now we have no doubt as to the outcome of a pleated rose wool skirt which she has begun. Equipped with some blue plaid woollen material and her mother's best steel scis- 34 RUPERTJS LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL sors, Margaret Spafford worked diligently during the first term, and produced a very sweet pinafore. In spite of the fact that the ruffles, when attached, nearly swamp- ed our five-foot seamstress, the finished article was very charming, and we wish Margaret good success with her rose wool skirt. Sunk in apathy over what she imagines to be her inability to sew, Sheila Smith may often be found Hat on her back under the heaving wooden frame of Bumping Bessie, joining wires together. She and Pat Chesshire cling obstinately to their beloved Bessie, and refuse to have any- thing to do with the electric machine which the other girls use. Last term Sheila 4 made a red gingham pinafore, which, after surviving some crises, emerged triumphant- lyg while Pat fashioned a blue one which, despite all her efforts, kept bunching itself into a bustle at the back. Sheila is now making a pleated rose wool skirt which is developing with remarkable rapidity. Gur mistakes, which have provided con- siderable hilarity, have also taught us a great deal. This, coupled with the fact that Mrs. Allgood has survived the sea- son without a single gray hair, indicates that we have had a very successful' course. Thank you, Mrs. Allgood, for the fore- bearance you have shown this novice class. PATRICIA CHESSHIRE. GRADES I AND ll THE BEAR-S NE day we went to the City Park especially to see the bears. What fun we had that day! It was early spring, and the mother bear and her cub were out in the pit. There was a pool of water. Suddenly the little bear jumped into it. Mother Bruin quickly slapped him. He went crying into the den. Wendid not see the bears again that clay. YVONNE BIRCHER, Grade II. TABBY NE day our cat disappeared. We found her in the garage with three little kittens. One day mother went into the storeroom. She saw the trunk open. Mother shut the lid, and started to go away, when she heard Tabby scratching and meowing. She went'back and opened the lid of the trunk. There she saw one of the kittens lying in the trunk, fast asleep. She picked up the kitten, took her to the garage, and said to Tabby, The place for your kittens is in the garage, not in my trunk. .GLEN MURRAY, Grade II.

VVe thought it would be lots of fun. VVC were all asked to bring as many things as we could, so we brought empty jelly packages, soap, cereal and cheese boxes. In fact, we brought as many things as we could to sell , It did not take long to collect a great num- ber of things, including empty butter cartons, tea, coffee and sugar bags. Between us we could not imagine how we could have a store in our room. Then one morning' we found that the carpen- ter had put up three long shelves. XVhcn we had had them painted, we had the fun of arranging the store. Wie all helped to Find out the prices of the goods. Then price tags were placed under each article. One of the Grade VIII girls made us a ration book, so we were able to sell rationed goods. VVe took turns being storekeeper. VX'e tried to remember always to be polite and helpful to our custom- ers. The storekeeper wrote on a bill the items bought, and had to be careful to GRADES III AND IV tAbsent: Evelyn VVerthenbaehJ X 36 RtfPERT's LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL give the correct change from our toy money.

OUR POST OFFICE T the end of January we planned to have a post Office for Valentine's Day. This was going to be as exciting as our store had been. The shelves which had been used for the store were now used for the post office. Everyone helped to do something. Pigeon-holes were made first. Then differ- ent stamps were made-two, three, and four cents, as well as air mail and special delivery. VVe made them from coloured paper, several helping to perforate them. W'e each went tO the post Office to buy stamps with toy money. Mrs. xVllltC1l'lll'lC made us a lovely wicket. Wie had tO be very,careful tO put the proper addresses and stamps on the let- ters. Then we sealed them and dropped them in the mail box we had in our room. A postman came in his truck , collected the letters and then took them to the post office, where the stamps were cancelled. The letters were put into the pigeon-holes. Wle took turns being the postman and the assistant. How excited we were on Valentine's Day when each of us went to our pigeon hole and found a big fat bundle of mail! PHYLLIS E1aw1N CGrade IVD.

MY BAD CHILDREN I have a doll, her name is Mary. I have another, his name is Harry. They always like to play together, And they seem as light as any feather. But one day when I started to bake, Each one thought it had a terrible ache, So I took them both right up to bed And examined stomach, chest and head. Then I said, No, no, you're not aching, So I might as well get back to my baking. But very soon through my toys they tramped, They made me angry and my foot I stamped. Get back to your beds or else be good! They stared at each other and understood. But next day they were very bad, In fact, they were driving me almost mad: So I sent them both right up to bed, And for supper I gave them milk a11d bread. From that time on they were very good, just like the time when they understood. BULA PATERSON tGrade VIJ. CONTRASTS The birds are singing, Echoes are ringing, A Through the summer day.

GRADE VIII h CAbsent: Joy Bedson, Jane Mather, LUIS YUUIISJ OUR ENEMIES-THE INSECTS NE day I decided that I would like to go on a camping trip, my brothers had all gone onthem, and so why shouldn't I? My brothers, when they returned, were always a bit tired, but this I thought was because of the exertion in paddling. When I asked my Mother, she Cwho is experienced in campingj most emphatic- ally said No, because there were no tents. My guest and I innocently suggest- ed that we wouldn't mind sleeping with- out one, and my Mother, much to our amazement, nearly fell over backwards. Then we discovered thatour neighbors had two camping cots with covers and mosquito netting which looked like cov- ered wagons. They were just as mosquito- proof, too. We showed these to our Mother and she consented to let us camp for two nights on the Point. My guest, jennifer, and I got all the provisions pre- pared and packed them in the canoe, and set off on our long journey of approxi- mately one hundred feet. ' THE EAGLE 39 When we arrived we set up the cots. I, very foolishly, let Jennifer have the best one, while I had the one with bumps and holes in the netting. The cots were set close to each other so that we could talk. Soon Jennifer and I crept into them, she into her comfortable one and I into the very opposite. About an hour later I looked into the next cot and Jennifer was fast asleep, with a contented expression on her face, and I was wide awake with a conglomeration of insects crawling over my face. I tossed and turned all night, not sleeping a wink, until six o'clock in the morning, when my insect friends decided to adjourn for breakfast Cnot that they hadn't been feast- ing on me all nightb. Up I got, and swallowing a quantity of hasty remarks, helped Jennifer prepare breakfast. The same painful procedure followed the second night, only with twice as many in- sects. By the time the night was over, I was so tired I practically went to sleep despite the heat, cold, insects, and many other things. While jennifer was telling my Mother about our delightful camping trip, I quietly retired to my room, took my book, Insect Friends, and threw it through the window, forgetting to open it first. Then I lay down on my bed and Went to sleep and dreamt of a new book, Insect Enemies, for twenty-four hours. MIRIAM BAKER CGrade VIIID.

Dear old England, dear old homeland, Land of sunshine, land of rain: I am wishing, daily wishing, That I'll see you once again. I remember, in my childhood, Off to school I went alone. Then I'd come back, glad and happy, To the house I call my own. I remember, by the fireplace, I would sit on Mother's knee. She would tell me fairy stories, Stories made up just for me. Oh! those days of glad remembrance, Oh! those days I spent at home, Far across the stormy ocean, O'er the ocean wild with foam.

GRADEIX ' THE GRADE IX MISCELLANEOUS, CLUB UE to our study in Composition of Running a Club, Miss Gordon sug- gested that we actually form one. After much discussion about the kind of club we should have, she also suggested that we call it a Miscellaneous Club, and then we could include all types of work, from sports and tours to discussions and debates. VVe decided to have our meetings on every Friday during our'Composition per- iods, and the following officers were elected: HONORARX' PRESIDENTS ...... Miss Gordon, Miss Lovell PRESIDENT ...,.....,.......,,.. Q ,,,,,,,,,,,,, jill Page VICQ'E-PRESIDENT ...... ..... D iana Bedford SECRETARY .............................. Pat McKnight TREASURER ........................ Barbara Copeland - Que of the main ideas of our Club was to learn proper Club procedure, and in our various discussions of fees, club pins and other matters, we learned how to make motions, amendments, resolutions, and so on. In the second term, with Miss Lovell as our Honorary President, we went on an interesting tour to the CKY Broadcast- ing Studios. Another tour to Picardy's was postponed, much to the disappointment of our many sweet-toothed members. In the future we plan to visit the Wiiinipeg Tribune, and it probably will be our last main event. In one meeting some of the members told a chain story called Underground, and unfortunately the bell rang before it could be finished. Another' meeting took the form of a discussion on school hours, extra curricular work, and the amount of homework-the latter being much dis- cussed. One of our programmes, put on by some of the class, was a very amusing version of Snow White and the Five Dwarfs. Betty Hurst took the part of Snow White, and Audrey Irwin was Prince Charming. The Grade IX Miscellaneous 'Club has been well worth forming and has been enjoyable to us all, thanks to Miss Gor- don's and Miss Lovell's fine help. MARGARET KILLICK CGrade IXD.

The next moment the door of the small attic room was flung open, and an irate- looking woman entered. She approached a rickety bed whereon was a mountain of tumbled bedclothes which stirred a trifle. You should have been up a good half hour: ago, complained the woman. Do you hear ? Aye, mistress, said Joan, yawning. Get up this instant! Heaven knows I've enough work to do Without waking my servant girls every morning. Cook wants you in the kitchen, and when you have flnished there, you can scrub the front steps. Are you listening, Joan Whythgage? ,loan gave a grunt and kept her head buried deep in the clothes until she heard the door slam. Jumping out of bed the next instant, she ran to the window, flung it 0-pen and looked out. Sixteenth century London would not always .seem to us a very desirable place to live in, but this morning it looked very beautiful. There had been a rain in the night, so the roofs glistened, and the puddles between the cobbles reflected bits Of sky. .A slight mist, which was rapidly diminishing, hung over the city, but it made London look almost ethereal in its beauty. Then an all too realistic smell rose from the gutter, and with a sigh joan closed her window. Dressing was a problem easily solved. Joan flung the tattered nightgown over her head and threw it on the bed. Then she arrayed herself in a dark, plain dress and a coarse cap and apron. She poured some water into a cracked basin as an afterthought, soused her face with it, and then flung it out of the window. An enraged cry came from the street, and looking from the window again, she beheld a dripping and furious citizen who shook his flst at her. She was now ready to leave her small domain and depart into the kitchen, where she anticipated a stale bun for breakfast, and a box on the ears from the cook. ,loan had been working in the inn for only about three months. Master Baggs, the innkeeper, had literally picked her up from the gutter, and out of the kindness of his heart, given her the position of maid-of-all-work in his establishment. Mistress Baggs was a strict woman who worked her servants to death, but, joan reflected, this life was better than living in the street. That morning the cook was in a viler temper than usual. Soon joan was scour- ing pots and washing dishes, endless mountains of them, it seemed to her. Next she took a bucket of water and started to scrub the front steps. They were made of white stone and required to be scrubbed every day, but Joan never minded this task, as it took her out-of- doors, away from the hustle and bustle of the kitchen, and the cook's scolding voice. It was an unusually warm day, and joan's scrub-brush moved less and less quickly over the smooth steps. The bees hummed in the delphiniums and the sun shone down upon her most unmercifully. She put down -her brush. She would sit down and rest for just one minute, with her back against the wall. How comfort- able she felt! Surely it would do no harm to close her eyes for the tiniest moment. A fly buzzed in her ear and she flipped it away impatiently, thinking that she really should be getting up. Her heavy eyes closed again, and she was asleep. Well, what have we here P said a voice suddenly. Joan gave a great start and sprang up, rubbing her eyes. Oh, dear! she cried. Have I been asleep P So it appears, replied the man stand- ing in front of her. 44 'RUPERT's LAND GIRLS' ScHooL H He was quite tall, and appeared to be about thirty years of age. He had heavy- lidded eyes, a high forehead, and now he was smiling such an odd, whimsical smile. Joan scrutinized him carefully, and then said abruptly: You look like a poet. ' He laughed. I am. ,Ioan nodded eagerly and said, I knew it, because of that folio which you are carrying. All poets carry folios. He only laughed again, and then he ask- ed a surprising question. Do you be- lieve in fairies P Joan stared at him with her 'simple eyes. They abound in this beautiful garden, he continued. They are in the delphin- iums and foxgloves, but just a moment ago I saw one in a much queerer place. Joan leaped to her feet, and her plain face was radiant Where ? she cried. In your eyes, he answered. Joan looked rather disappointed and puzzled. I don't think I understand you, sir.f' No, he said. I guess I'm talking as a poet should. This reminded joan of his folio, and she asked: May I see some of your poetry? He looked at her with appreciation in his eyes, and taking several papers out of his folio, gave them to her. Joan hung her head. I-l dou't know how to read, sirfi He obligingly read several short sonnets to her, and joan listened carefully. She did not understand all of them, nor could she realize what wonderful material was in them. Do you like my poetry? he asked. Oh, yes, she answered. I think it's very beautiful. Now, sir, will you tell me more about fairies? she added wistfully. He was just about to do this, when the front door was flung open. Joan sprang to her neglected bucket and began working with a will, but it was too late. Her mistress was upon her, and belabor- ed her soundly with none too pleasant language. Joan waited patiently for the torrent of words to subside, and when Mistress Baggs had gone indoors again, looked around for her new friend, but he was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly Betsy Leigh, the scullery maid, appeared around the corner with mouth and eyes wide open. Do you know who that was, Joan Whythgage? she asked, folding her arms importantly. None other than the actor, Master Will Shakespeare. I saw him in a play the other day. Ioan .put down her brush and stared at Betsy. , Master Will Shakespeare, she 'repeat- ed slowly. I'm sure that some day he will be a very great man. I BETTY CALVERT CGrade IXJ. fC0111111871f.' There is a quiet building-up to a climax in this sto-ry which is unusual in such. a young writer.

Quietness' had pre- vailed for the earlier part of the night, and now the heavens became freckled with many stars, and a large, brilliant Russian moon threw down its beams. The tiny vil- lage of Moutasi, cradled in the lap of sur- rounding hills, was bathed in alternate shadow and moonbeams. It was near the end of December, and there was a canopy of snow and ice covering everything. The night was clear. with no sound ex- cept the far-off cry of a wolf calling to its mate. It was this sound which shook Thrashi from his trance. He had for some time been lying Hat on his stomach along the ridge of a hill. With him was his band of Guerilla fighters, stretched out along the ridge, in the same position, waiting-waiting-waiting. 1 This small group of lion-hearted men, practically invisible, were all clad in coats and hoods of heavy white. They blended in with the snow, so that they became part of the scenery. Thrashi had been lying there, thinking back on his happy life in the village. Existence had been so easy: going to school, working on his father'sifarm, and those happy meetings in- the evenings of the young girls and boys. They would talk or play, sometimes in the village and occasionally-in the hills- his hills. He had always called them that, for he, more than anyone else, loved these hills with all his heart. He used to wander through them for hours-enjoying their peaceful- ness. But everything had changed. He THE E AGLE 45 was still in his hillsf' but he was playing a different game-one of life and death. The night wore on, and still he and his companions lay motionless, without a word. His face was a mask of determination, yet his eyes betrayed all deeper feelings. They showed misery, that only a lJOY HS he was, who had known so much suffer- ing, and with a task before lmn as he had--could know. There was his beloved village of Moutasi, lying quiet and serene, yet within the next hour he must help destroy it. The Germans had used his village to store ammunition before being moved to the front. Last night a train- load of ammunition had arrived, and was to leave this morning for the front-it had to be stopped. The village was made up of old men, women and children, with a few able- bodied people who had stayed in the vil- lage to help the inhabitants. One such person was a young Russian nurse, who had worked day and night to save the starved and diseased village. Her name- Lena. She was the girl Thrashi had always loved since childhood. She often got information to tell him-the latest be- ing the arrival and departure of the am- munition trucks. Thrashi, thinking it must be nearly time, glanced at the watch on his wrist, but it only brought back memories. He remembered how, as a little boy, he had stared in awe at his father's watch, but he no longer looked at it in admiration- it was with sorrow. Two weeks ago, in an attack on a railway station, his father, commanding the Guerillas, had been killed. The body had been brought back, and though 'it was unrecognizable. due to bullets, the watch had not been touched. Thrashi was glad his mother would never see his father as he was that night. She was dead. Rather than reveal her hus- band's whereabouts, she died. XVith her, Nimiski, Thrashi's five-year-old brother, was shot. just then a long, low whistle stirred him out of his memories. ln unison the little band began to half crawl, half slide down the snowy slope. Progress was slow: detection was simple. Finally the bottom of the hill was reached, and they found themselves behind some old cow barns on the outskirts of the village. Plans had perilously been made for each man to take his own route, and with- in half an hour he was within accurate throwing distance of the village square, where the ammunition trucks stood. .So with silent nods they departed. Thrashi crept swiftly through the sleep- ing village, stopping now and then to listen, only to continue slipping quickly from house to house like a shadow moved by the wind. He had covered ia little more than half the distance when he heard rapidly approaching steps. lt was a Ger- man soldier, he knew by the sound of his boots on the iee-varnished sidewalk. Thrashi knew he had no time to hide, so he flattened himself against the wall in a shadow. The next minute the soldier f N ff!!! f ,Xfffffjl ' f M 'Lawns ' GRADE XII CIRCUS 46 RUPERT's- LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL turned the corner, but before he could recover from the shock, two hands of steel closed around his neck. A few min- utes later there 'was a dull thud, and Thrashi hauled the body into an alley and continued his journey. He came up from behind the village post-office, and lying Hat, waited. With two minutes left his heart leaped and he had violent chills. There, crossing the square, was a German officer and- Lena. He knew she was trying to obtain more information, but they were in the middle of the square. just then he heard a long, low whistle, immediately followed by explosions. Thrashi saw Lena's body hurled through the air, then disappear in the smoke, fire and debris. In a sort ot trance he threw his grenades and slowly stood up, then turned as if to run, but did not-he could not. Lena was dead. Lena, who laughed at everything, Lena, who had played with him as a boy, and later when they grew up had planned a future with him. Even after death and destruction had visited them and their their plans village, they refused to believe smashed. Now she was dead, and he had helped kill her. 'Suddenly Thrashi felt a sharp pain stab at his head, then his side. He did a strange thing: he began to run, run as he had never run before in his life-yet he saw no reason. He ran up the slope and into the forest till he collapsed. Then he felt a hot, sticky substance on his face and body, and he knew it was from bullet wounds. He felt numb and knew that he was dying. He was still so young and afraid of dying. To die alone was what frightened him most. Then he realized he wasn't aloneg he had come to his hills to die. That had been his reason for running in the first place. When everything seemed lost he still had his hills . For a long time he lay motion- less, staring up at the dark silver-sprink- Led sky. Then suddenly he half sat up and gasped, Lena, you have come, then collapsed back. ' The cold dawn revealed the blood- soaked body of a lad, yet no compassion was needed here. On his face was a smile, a look of happiness, that had not been there for some time. He was back in his hills . SHEILA SMITH lGrade XD lCoinment: The atmosphere of Russian hills, touch-ed by 'the Germans and war and'death, has been captured in this story. A sense of foreboding hangs over the hero, and the gr'eyne'ss never lifts. This consistency of mood js the strong point. It is really the story of one boy, and the other characters are merely shadowy figures. The plot moves through descrip- tion and reminiscing to fierce action .and tragedy, and while there is no dialogue, it does not suffer from want of excite- ment. The writer has created enough in- terest in Thrashi to hold it together. The climax is excellent: death is not destruc- tion but fulfilment, and this is a part of the whole fl'lClIL6.j .1..i1..i. THE ENGLAND I HAVE KNOWN I often sit and wonder when - We'll find ourselves at home again, And all the things we've loved and known Will greet us as we journey home. The times we had in London Square, Where we would stand, and talk, and stare VVhen famous kings and queens rode by, But now we dream and vainly try To catch the wonder of it all: Cf Piccadilly and St. Paul. The horse-back rides' upon the moor, Our weekly visits to the poor, The golden sunsets in the west, Are memories of the very best. The Derby that was held in spring, The happy Christmas gathering, - Exciting trips to Northern Wales, But now all these are merely talesg But soon the joys of peace will come And happiness for everyone. JILL PAGE CGrade IX1 fCOIllllL6lZf.' This is a charming little poem, wistful and full of special mem- ories. lVe see very clearly what England means' to a schoolgirl, and that is what counts. Her rhyme scheme is simple and accurate-altogether a good piece of work.j BIRMINGHAM BLACKOUT Tonight, in the city at war, It's calm. Unlit lamps stand in rows in contempt. Of the uncontrolled stars. Go on, Shine your light-not too far, . just two feet in front, you may talk ! But the night-walkers' whisper will never grow louder. For awe Holds each vagrant in harness- Know that darkness and silence go sliding together, Once they're parted, who knows what dis- aster Will bear on the travellers who heed not the shadows? Up above them a monster limb creaksg Then with laughter, Just another bal- loon! The spell might be broken, but THE EAGLE 47 Something creeps in to subdue the attempter. Go on, mind your light, do not linger Or the battery won't hold till you reach The safe harbour Of home! Yes, tonight, in the city at war, It's calmg But beneath the tranquillity Strain from the tension will tell: Go on! Why the intake of breath as you glimpse a loose shutter? What fear is compelling your footsteps to hasten So fast? But the night-walker's footsteps will ever fall quicker, And soon Break into a stumbling run- Know that speed fosters courage to check the invader Called fear. ' A miow from below, as a furry black shape Slithers stealthily onward, adds Speed to the fleeing- Someone .stumbles-a pause- Then the rush must continue, Right into the doorway And home. Yes, tonight in the city at war, It's calmg For the foe has been conquered In many a household: the foe called the Fear of Unknown. RUTH Siiuzs tGrade XIIQ. fC0771l1lClZf.' This young writer has an l.lZSf1.1lCfI.'U6 feeling for the right phrase to express her mood. illore than that, she creates a sense of reality. The pieture of a lilrzelrozzt is a rz'z'H1'cizlt one to clratv, and she has used an emotion-fear-to height- en the afnmsphere. She has more restraint and zizafurifg' than she had last year. The whole idea sweeps on Ioiflzouz' an atc'kit'a1'd pause, broleen only by such fine lines as: Unlif lamps stand in rozus, liz eomlenzpt Of the inzeonfrolled stars. The ending nziyht have been lietler handled. ll is almost an anti-elinzax, like the fypieal happy eudizzgf' lm! altogether it is a well-dezdsed poem and deserving of first plaectj FAREWELLS FAREWELLS E are very sorry to have to say goodbye to several members of the Staff who are leaving us, either due to circumstances of the war, or in order to take up work elsewhere. Mrs. Allgood has made many friends during the one year that she has been with us, teaching sewing in Grades VII and VIII and Home Economics in Grades X and XI. The interest that has been taken in cooking and needlework has been largely due to her enthusiasm, and we much regret that, owing to the fact that she expects to be leaving Winnipeg soon, she has to say goodbye to us. We were very sorry to lose Mrs. Steven- son and her two children, Shirley and Belinda, but for their sakes were happy that they had the opportunity to return to England. As house manager. and dietitian Mrs. Stevenson looked after our wants most capably for a year and a half, we shall not soon forget her, and hope that, back in her own home once more, she will often think of us. For the same reason we shall be saying good.bye to Mrs. Reid who has been our kind and efficient matron during the past year. Mrs. Reid hopes to return to Eng- land with Jeremy and Susan before long, I when she does leave VVinnipeg she will leave behind many warm friends. For five years Miss jackson has taught piano at R.L.S., during which time she has built up a big' class of students whose many successes in the London, Toronto and Manitoba examinations have proved the excellence of her teaching. Miss jack-' son has decided to live with her family in Vancouver, and while feeling very sorry indeed to lose her after such happy associations, we wish her every success in the future. Lastly we say goodbye to Miss Bussell who has been a member of the Staff for twelve and a half years, and who conse- quently is very closely connected with the school. As form teacher of Grade XI, teacher of French throughout the school and President of Jones House, Miss Bussell has known many Rupert's Land girls, all of whom, past and present, will miss her greatly. She has been a member of the Committee for the revision of the French curriculum, and has always been keenly interested in the study of modern languages. Miss Bussell is going to live in the east where we hope she will be very happy, we feel sure that her many friends in Winnipeg have such a strong hold on her affections that she will often return to visit us.
