THE EAGLE 21 ELLO,,girls! Look at that date be- low! It's twenty years since I left R.L.S. But it doesn't seem that long when I look back. And now-Mary Carmichael, class of '38, is working for me for a while before she goes to Toronto for a year's post-graduate work in commercial diet- etics. Who knows? Perhaps one of You will be working with me some day-per- haps even doing my work! Stranger things have happened! Gertrude Eland, who is the twentieth head girl, just as I was the first one, has ,asked me to give you my favorite recipe. That's a very tall order, for I've so many favorite recipes they would much more than till this whole magazine!

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. NAOLII BOULTONL, Class of 1943.

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.

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.

Joan Arnold 'W HEN school re-opened last September, we found some of our old girls had left, but we welcomed with pleasure the many new girls who have successfully fill- ed their places. 1943-44 has been particularly lucky, as we have been most fortunate in having Miss Eldred as our President. 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
