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
