First I think we might look for a moment over the past twelve months. What tremendous things have happened since last April! There is little doubt that the year 1945 will go down in history as one of the most important years of all time. In the spring the world lost suddenly one of its greatest men, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who had spent his abilities and his powers so freely and energetically for the cause of justice and peace. Then so short a time afterwards came V-E Day. None of you, I am sure, will ever forget that morning in May when you came to school to find that hostilities had ceased, we held our special service so well-planned by our Department of Education, we then went to our Service in Holy Trinity Church, then home-that never-to-be-forgotten morning! Have we not all fel-t- if only President Roosevelt could have lived to share that -:lay with us ? Then only a few weeks later came the discovery of the Atomic Bomb with all its power, followed so closely in August by V-J Day, earlier than anyone could have believed possible. Since then our men have been returning steadily from over- seasiland in some ways it is hard to remember just what those war years meant to us a . I think you girls should all be glad that you have lived in such thrilling times, and far more than that, that you are living in times of such tremendous opportunity. Now that the effort of war is over, there is even more need for you to strain every nerve for peace time. The minds of all people today are turning to the problems of social security, better education, and all that makes for what we call a better world. In this connection we realize that the use made of atomic energy is of paramount importance, our scientists are seriously considering the matter of its control and its use for the good of mankind rather than for the destruction of men. And while all this is going on we must remember that the biggest question of all is that of personal relationships. Without understanding between men, no amount of science can bring us happiness. While you are still at school you may think sometimes: What can we do? Well, you have a wonderful opportunity here to learn to understand those around you, and unless your education leads you to sympathy with others and their different points of view, it will not be of full use to you. So make the most of your opportunities, learn everything you can in all branches of study, give intelligent consideration to its bearing upon life, and make a point of getting out of your own private little rut and putting yourself out to learn to like and to understand those who do not naturally appeal to you. Do this in the spirit of devotion to duty and a real desire to serve your generation, your country and your world, and you will grow to be useful citizens. Only as you do this will you :find happiness in life. All good wishes to you for the future. Yours affectionately, ELSIE M. BARTLETT. THE EAGLE 21 The iiaeah Qtr! Martha Grimble, Head Girl of 1945- 1946, entered the School as a member of Grade V in 1938, and for one year we had the four Grimble sisters in the school , -Sarah, Mary, Jane and Marthag now that we are to say goodbye to the last of them, we realize that when next September comes we shall be conscious of a gap in the ranks without a member of this very delightful family from Stur- geon Creek. On several happy occasions the staff and graduates have had their June picnic on the Grimbles' grounds, where they have made friends with bull- dogs, ponies and kittens in their lovely country setting, and although many of these June picnics, held in other places, have been the occasion of heavy rains and gusty winds, somehow the sun al- ways shone when we were entertained at the Grimbles'. As a member of Machray House Martha has played on House teams and also on the Third and First School Basketball teams. This year she has been vice-president of the Literary Society and co-editor of The Eagle. After taking her grade XII examinations this June, Martha plans to take a two-years course in Occupational Therapy at the Univer-- sity of Toronto, and then specialize in some branch of this most valuable work. Her interests are in photography, in country life and in running a home. When the summer comes she loves to slip down to the summer cottage at Delta with a friend or two, and there enjoy swimming and sunbathing and friendly discussions. MARTHA GRIMBLE Those who knew her as a plump, mischievous little girl in Grade V may feel that this serious young lady in Grade XII can hardly be the same person, but Martha is still fun-loving and quite a tease, she has gained a realization that life, even in these difficult post-war days, is full of interesting opportunities for those who have purpose and determination. We thank Martha for her contribution to school life, for her spirit of comradeship, and the faithful service she has rendered this year. May her future be a very rosy one, and may every success attend her in the years to come. S.LL.T Scbnul Qlialenhar 1945246 1945 Sept. 11. Boarders arrived. Sept. 12.

QEhitorial g In this our first year of school since the ending of World War II we realize that we are living in a period of world transformation. This year has witnessed the passing of the League of Nations, the formation of the U.N.O.,' and the birth of the Atomic Age. Though we have won the war, we have yet to win a true and lasting peace. To achieve such a peace school girls as well as statesmen have their collective responsibilities, in Rupert'.s Land we are endeavoring to practice democracy through our School Council. A world peace will be won only when all people have learned to understand and respect the rights of others and to co-operate in achieving the greatest good for mankind. Although the war is over the work of the Red Cross still goes on, and again this year some of our classes have joined the Junior Red Cross. Interest in this seems to lie more with the Juniors than with the Seniors, but there is a great deal of work for Senior girls to do too. Such suggestions as the following were given at the H.S.J.R.C. Council, to which we have sent two representatives this year: girls are needed in most city hospitals to roll bandages and to help in other ways, the Old Folks' Home and Veterans' Hospitals always welcome entertainers, and the blind enjoy being read to. Next year I hope that more work such as this will be enthusi- astically carried on by the girls of Rupert's Land. Inter-house competition this year has been as active as usual, especially in in sports and in the drama competition. Other school activities have included 'two demonstrated lectures by one of Winnipeg's fire inspectors, Mr. Karawak, on fire prevention, three enjoyable Christmas parties kindly given by the staff, and a most iinteiiestgng illustrated talk on Canterbury Cathedral given by Miss Babington of .ng an . This year we again held our annual inter-grade P.T. competition, which this year was won by Grades XI and XII, we congratulate the winners, and sincerely thank Miss Faraday for her hard work and coaching. Our senior girls again entered the musical festival this year, as there was no other competition in the Private School class we entered two choirs. Both choirs sang, Call of the Moon Children and Fairy Lullaby, choir No. 1 achieving the highest marks of 79 for each, while choir No. 2 received 76 and 75 marks. We congratulate the girls on their splendid work. The girls of Grades X, XI, and XII are eagerly awaiting the dance on May 10th, which the Alumnae has so kindly arranged for us. -Our Annual Mission is also to beheld next term on May 18th, and as usual the climax of the school year will be Prize Giving to be held this year on June 14th. i In closing I would like to express my sincere appreciation of the honor of being your Head Girl during this year which has been one of the most remarkable in history. I would like to thank Miss Bartlett and all the members of the staff for their patient guidance and many kindnesses which they have shown to me. To the graduates and to all the girls I extend my very best wishes for the future, and may our motto, Alta Petens, inspire us then as it has during our school life.

Dalton has had an active year in sports and other activities. In the sports field Pat McKnight and Louise Pellenz deserve worthy mention as they are the two strong guards on the school's first team. Shelagh McKnight, running centre on the second team, has also created a name for herself. Just lately the middleschool volleyball games were played and Dalton held first place. Dalton's first social event was a Hallowe'en party for the Grades 3-6 in which the Grades 3-6 members of Jones also joined. The Sports Captains of the two houses arranged games which were greatly enjoyed by everyone, and the party concluded with a lunch. In the second term Dalton was very busy producing The Grand Cham's Dia- mond, by Allan Monkhouse, for the inter- house drama competition. Pat Gattey was our producer and we owe her many thanks for her patient and tireless work. We were very proud of Joy Bedson as she was awarded the honor of being best actress for the evening. Others taking part were: Priscilla Rayner, Barbara Cameron, Beth McEachern and Winifred Grayston. At a house meeting held the following week Pat Gattey was presented withka school ring in appreciation of her wor . Our House Captain has maintained her scholastic record this year. Another stu- dent in Grade XI-who has done good 'work is Joyce Morris, who has had an A standing. To all the members of Dalton the best of luck, especially to those who will not return next year. We wish to thank Miss Turner, Miss Newton and Mrs. Purdie for their help throughout the year. WINII-'RED GRAYSTON, fSecretaryl JONES HOUSE PRESIDENT .... ........

In the middle of the Easter term our president, Miss McLean, was taken ill, and we have missed her 'guidance in many ways, but are happily looking for- ward to her return next term. Our play in the Inter-House Drama Competition was A Night at an Inn, and under the able direction of our pro- ducer, Muriel Lipsey, we did Well, and although we came third the cast enjoyed the Work. Jones House has come first in work and conduct all year so far and although our sports have pulled us down we managed to rise from fourth place at Christmas to first place at Easter. Tennis and deck- tennis will be played in the future, and we hope to achieve good results and maintain our first place. As a representative of Jones House I feel that many thanks are due to Miss McLean, Miss Smith, Margaret and the executive and girls for their work and interest in the HOuse's activities. To Ruth Ashley who won the Midget Gym Cup, Diana Nanton who won the Junior Gym Cup and Marlene Musgrove who won the Intermediate Gym Cup go our best wishes, and I hope they win many cups in the future. Also our congratulations go to Joan Norrie and Mary Harris who did so well singing in the Musical Festival. I Last but not least: good luck to the graduates in all that they 'undertake in the future.

And now with the House under the leadership of Barbara Copeland, and with the co-Operation of its members, we hope that Machray will again win the shield. Well represented in sports, Machray has House Captain, Barbara Copeland, and Head Girl, Martha Grimble on the SchOol's First Basketball Team. These two have created for themselves an out- standing record Of skilful baskets. June Arbogast and Donna Kelley are on the Third Team, although we have no one on the Second Team, Joan Everett, Eileen Watkins, Shirley Womersley and Sheila Young greatly contribute to the Junior Team. The girls in our House also reach a high standard of excellence in volleyball. At the Hallowe'en party given for the Juniors, the executive mingled with the girls and joined in the fun. Games ranged from Musical Chairs to London Bridge and all agreed that it was a success. Our House took part in the Drama Competition held this year. Unfortun- ately for us, our leading character was quarantined for scarlet fever a few days before the presentation. We Owe our thanks to Judy Claydon, our producer, who took on the responsibility of study- ing the lines and taking the part, rather than drop out of the competition. We had the honour of having Susan DeLamater, named the second best actor in the competition. lVe regret that Miss Eldred. our en- thusiastic president, contracted mumps, and had to miss out on some of our activities, but we know that she will be proud of our achievements. A lot of fine work has been done and high marks obtained by the members of our House. They are a fine crowd and we are exceedingly proud of them.

Betty Calvert Although the school year is not yet Over, I feel that I may safely say this has been a most successful year for Matheson under the leadership of Nancie Tooley, our house captain, Miss Sharman, her associates, and the rest of the house executive. - Our first big surprise came at Christ- mas when Miss ,Bartlett made the startling announcement that Matheson had come first for the term. This wel- come news made us more determined than ever to try our best to win the shield. In the Dramatic Competition, our play Elizabeth Refuses won first place, and Elizabeth Patton as Mr. Collins was judged the best male character. Much of the credit for this big success goes to Billie Baker who had the hard job of producing the play. In sports, Matheson came second in middle-school volleyball, third in senior volleyball. and last in senior basketball. We are looking forward to the tennis and deck tennis games during the sum- mer term. We are proud to have Billie for Sports Captain as she is also School Sports Captain. As yet we have not had a house picnic. One was planned last fall, but it was cancelled because of wet weather. We hope to plan a house outing next term. The Mission Tea is another social event we are looking forward to in May, and we shall hear such remarks from house members as, Does anyone know where we can get another silver tea-service? In closing I should like to say a par- ticular Nthank you on behalf of the house to Nancie and Miss Sharman who have guided us safely through another year. I should also like to wish the best of luck to the Matheson graduates and to those girls who will be returning to the house next year.

This year in sports has been very active and I am sure the girls have en- joyed all the games throughout the year. DONNA BAKER, fSports Captainj .TTi.....T. Dear Girls, Before leaving Rupert's Land - as I must this year-I would like to take this opportunity to thank my sports' captains for their wonderful help and co-operation. Their unfailing readiness to assist in every way has been a great encourage- 28 RUPERT's LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Rosemary Henderson, Eileen NVatkins, Joan Everett, ment to me during the nine years I have been at the school. Sometimes the de- mands have been great but cheerfully they have come forward and with 'their willing help the many tasks have been carried out successfully. There are not many of us who really know how very important the school sports' captain is. The spirit and success of a school depends so much upon her interest and willingness to give up much of her time. Without her help we would not have success-I do not mean the victories in matches, although we natur- ally strive for these-but the spirit of sportsmanship which she tries to instill N315- Pamela Garton, Shirley Womersley, Sheila Young. in each of us is certain to help in what- ever difficulties we come up against in things apart from games. For many years to come I will look back upon the very happy times I have had with you all as some of the happiest years of my life. I know there will always be the spirit of true sportsman- ship among youg and so in your physical education activities remember: Together the qualities of the body which make a successful athlete are also the foundation of a happy and successful people. Wishing you good luck in your matches next Years Your very sincerely, MURIEL FARADAY. X id' Q0 A 4 .. ' ' I lx ,, A , V 'N T ' ' V ' S -1:-5z.iH V! ,ill S ,V Z .HY , K' n, X I! If ' T11 A I THE EAGLE 29 D f bummarp nf Bah Gross work - Ulbrnughnut the Ear The girls throughout the school have been very much interested in their Red Cross work during the war. Many knitted articles including socks, mitts, sweaters, scarves, helmets and washcloths have been sent overseas. Babies' layettes have been made, jumpers and other clothing have been sewn and numerous quilts and afghans have been completed. The younger girls collected pennies and silver paper, knitted many squares and washcloths and usually succeeded in having the largest total of war savings to their credit each month. Middle school girls and seniors besides doing much knitting, concentrated chiefly on such efforts as bazaars, raffles, fish ponds, quiz games, auction sales, fashion and variety shows and plays. Doughnut, candied apple and soft drink sales were also held, and one year blotters with the school crest printed on them were sold in aid of the Red Cross. Hampers and Christmas parcels were sent at various times to service families, and Scrapbooks and Christmas and Valentine cards were given to sick children. Ditty bags containing such things as combs, handkerchiefs, tooth brushes and soap were sent to bombed- out areas of England. Scraps of wool were gathered and money was donated for the making of new, warm blankets for Europe. Toys were collected at -Christmas time for the benefit of needy children in Canada. Before community salvage pickups were started the girls faithfully gathered any salvage they could find, bringing it to school to be collected by the City Salvage Corps. Coat hangers were gath- ered and sold to dry cleaning firms, the money being given to the Red Cross. Small medicine bottles too were saved to be used in hospitals when the supply was so scarce. Individual girls have helped in the packing of prisoner-of-war parcels, at church Red Cross clubs, and this year's members of Grades VI and VII rolled bandages in the city hospitals on Satur- day mornings. Each year Grade XII has made all the school basketball crests, donating the money the teams paid for them to the Red Cross fund. Thus throughout the war the school Red Cross branches have been very active, and although peace has come are continuing to support the very necessary work of the Red Cross.

Although the company opened on Sep- tember 19th without a captain, this position was ably filled temporarily by Janet Cameron and Margaret Killick. However we gratefully welcomed Miss M. Farrell as captain and Mrs. P. R. Fox as lieutenant on October 24th. A Patrol Leaders' Conference was held in the Board Room of the Free Press Building on September 28th. The Ninth Company sent five representatives. Our first official visit from our Dis- trict Commissioner, Mrs. Girling, came on October 10. The following week many guides passed their fires for their second class when they went on a hike to River Park. Our first church parade was at Christ Church on October 20th. 30 RUPER'r's LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL On December 5th the division shield for general proficiency in the Winnipeg District inspection 11944-453 was pre- sented by Mrs. Semmens to Johanne Wintemute who represented the company. Following this presentation Margaret Killick and Janet Cameron were awarded their gold cords, the highest award a guide can earn. Four girls were enrolled as guides that day. A district tea was held at the new Girl Guide House on Osborne St. on February 16th to raise funds for the district. Over S60 were raised. The following day a church parade was held at Holy Trinity Church to commemorate Thinking Day. The Ninth Company entered the Musi- cal Festival, and although we did not fare so well our spirits are undaunted and next year our result will be more favorable. Mrs. Fox, our conductor, de- serves great praise in leading our little band of would-be warblers. The district inspection is to be held on May lst. Later on we are looking for- ward to the visit to Winnipeg of the Chief-guider, Lady Baden-Powell. During the Christmas term twenty-five proficiency badges were earned. Plans have been made to increase this number. First-class tests are still to be arranged for. At Christmas we sent to a needy family a hamper containing many delic- ious articles such as two chickens, canned goods, Christmas puddings and candies. Again this year the Ninth Company entered the competition for the Bessbor- ough Shield. The outfit, which contained a skirt, blouse, bloomers, hat, socks and mitts, was sent to England. The shield was won by a company from Elkhorn, while the Ninth Company placed third. This year has been a very interesting and successful year thanks to the expert leadership of Miss Farrell and Mrs. Fox, and also the help of our company leaders Janet Cameron and Margaret Killick. We wish to thank them for their efforts and encouragement throughout t h e y e a r 1945-46. PRISCILLA RAYNER THE NINTH WINNIPEG BROWNIE PACK We are the Brownies of the Pack, And useful folk are we, A Pack of Elves and Fairies Bright, Who try our best to do what's right. Come, and join the Brownies too, Mind what Brown Owl says to you, She helps the Pack of Rnpert's Land, In learning how to lend a hand. Our Brownie Pack numbered fifteen in October, when Mrs. Fox from Toronto took us over, later assisted by Mrs. Haxby as Tawny Owl. At this time there were five first class Brownies ready for their wings and to fiy up to Guides, namely: Delphine Davey, Betty Gill, Isobel Jones, Glen Murray and Catherine Young. At a Fly-Up and Enrolment held on December 5th Elaine Castle, Anna May Fox and Doreen Gardner were enrolled. Also, the First Class Brownies received their wings in the Fairy Circle which Mrs. Semmens, the Provincial Commis- sioner, and Mrs. Girling, District Com- missioner joined. After this Brown Owl sang the Fly-Up ceremony and they were welcomed to the Guide company. Mrs. Girling presented us with a little plastic giraffe to set on the Magic Carpet. In the meetings before Christmas little paper Christmas trees and red stockings were made in our sewing circles. The last four weeks before Christmas four of the best were chosen to stand on the Magic Carpet. The last meeting before the holidays we enjoyed a very nice party with ice cream and cookies. Then red stockings, which they had so nicely made, were filled with nuts and candy and an orange, and a little gift from Brown Owl and Tawny Owl. Since Christmas several Tweenies have come into the Pack. The first to be en- rolled was Carol Ann Bates. Many are almost ready for their Second Class. We hope to take part in the Brownie Rally in May, and sing our festival song en- titled The Brownie Toadstoolf' We are looking forward to Lady Baden-Powell's visit.

Particia Liggins SOCIAL CONVENOR .......... Daphne Graham Once again the Literary Society has had a successful year under the careful guidance of our President, Miss Turner. At the meetings held this past year approximately forty members have attended showing much enthusiasm. At the first meeting held October 25th the club was successfully re-opened and Miss Turner read very interesting ex- cerpts from John BroWn's Body, by Stephen Vincent Benet. The Grade X members provided an in- teresting meeting when they read Clemence Dane's play S h i v e r i n g Shocks. Those taking part were: Norma Davidson, Rosemary Watkins, Janet Reid, Beth McEachern, Jennifer McQueen, Barbara Cameron and Eleanor Mitchell. At another meeting, Martha Grimble, Daphne Graham, Patricia Liggins, Patricia Gattey and Joyce Burton, some of the Grade XII members, discussed popular reading material. Some of the magazines chosen to discuss were: Reader's Digest, Ladies' Home Jour- nal, Life, True Confession, and detective stories. Lively comments were made after the girls had given the panel discussion. Two very interesting book reviews were given this year. The first one given by Joyce Morris and Jean McEachern was of Two Solitudes by Hugh Mc- Lennan, a story of the French and Eng- lish racial problems in Canada. At the following meeting Muriel Lipsey and Margot Burton reviewed SO Well Re- membered, one of Hilton's recent novels. From these reviews it was possible to obtain a very good idea of the contents of the books. One of the most entertaining meet- ings took the form of a debate, the resolution being: That pioneer women have done more for Canadian develop- ment than pioneer men. Although good arguments were put forth by the affirma- tive speakers who were Beth Hale and Janet Cameron, the members voted that the negative team, Dorothy Holland and Audrey Van Slyck, had done the better. At one of the latter meetings we were privileged to have Mrs. Russell fVirginia Cameronj a former member of the club, who now is engaged by the Free Press, to speak to us about her' work. On behalf of the society I would like to express our sincerest thanks to Miss Turner who is always full of new ideas for the club. To all the members who have been so co-operative we wish to ex- press our sincerest thanks for making 1945-46 a successful year for the Literary Society.

J oy Bedson SECRETARY ........... ...... D oreen Ogilvie TREASURER ............................ Muriel Lipsey The Art Club has been formed this year under the leadership of Mrs. Hol- land. About thirty enthusiastic members attend the meetings which are held in the common room once a month. These Friday evenings have carried a series of talks given by Mrs. Holland, concerning the basic foundations of art, and by helpful suggestions have encouraged the girls to enter for the Ethel Merle Sures Memorial Trophy Competition. Mr. Mus- grove was the guest speaker for one of our meetings and presented very inter- esting slides dealing with the trend of art from the transition period up to modern times. All our meetings end with refreshments, games and community singing which is greatly enjoyed by the members, and disbanding is always de- layed until the latest possible moment. On behalf of the Art Club members, I wish to express our sincere appreciation to Mrs. Holland for her ceaseless efforts to make the club successful, and also for all the extra help and advice which has been so kindly given us. DOREEN OGILVIE, C Secretaryj THE EAGLE 33 usic As the school year began the number of girls enrolled for piano lessons was almost double the number Miss Hines could manage to teach. We were very very fortunate in getting Miss Margaret Randall to come in and take the extra girls, and good, steady work has been done throughout the year. We wish success to all those who will be taking examinations a little later in the term. In December many of the girls played at a meeting of the Studio Club at which some of the parents were present. This gave them a little practice and experience in preparation for the recital to be held in May. LH' -gi-' - . YY - Sffiqqis lv- Suv-sq!-Q1 T755 Senior girls have again enjoyed their choral work under the fine direction of Mr. Osborne, many of them singing in the choir at St. John's Cathedral at the Commemoration Service on November lst. A small ensemble helped with the entertainment at the Alumnae Associa- tion's Theatre Night in February. Two school choirs entered the Private School Choirs' Class at the Musical Festival, which was good experience for them. The g'rls have very good voices and splendid tone, but the criticism that they needed to show much greater animation and enthusiasm was justified and bore out what their leader had told them. There were a number of solo entries in the Festival and these girls all did very creditably. All the girls are most grateful to Mr. Osborne for the generous way he has given of his time and energy and for the splendid training he has given them. They also thank Mrs. Wrightson very much for coming to accompany the choirs. To Miss Hines, Miss Randall and Miss Davidson go sincere thanks for all their enthusiastic training and encouragement to which is due the pleasure and profit which the music pupils have gained from their studies. fllibe wma On Saturday, March 2nd, at 8 o'clock, the Drama Competition was held in the Assembly Hall. Each house presented a one-act play which was most ably adjudi- cated by Miss Kathleen Parker. Matheson House put on 'fElizabeth Refuses, a comedy adopted from Pride and Prejudice, and produced by Billie Baker with the following cast: ELIZABETH BENNETT ........ .Janet Reid JANE BENNETT ,........... Shannon Hall MRS. BENNETT ............ Eileen Conlin MR. COLLINS ............ Elizabeth Patton LADY CATHERINE DE BOURGH Nancie Tooley Miss Parker awarded this play first place with 170 marks out of 190. She re- marked that the girls interpreted the characters very well, and that the stage setting and costumes were most effective. Qlinmpetitiun Liz Patton was judged the best male character for her amusing portrayal of Mr. Collins. if Bl- is Dalton House, with Pat Gattey produc- ing, presented The Grand Cham's Dia- mond, a humorous mystery which placed second with 160 marks. Cast: MRs. PERKINS ................ Joy Bedson MR. PERKINS ........ Priscilla Rayner POLLY PERKINS .... Barbara Cameron STRANGER ............ Winifred Grayston ALBERT WATKINS .... Beth McEachern The audience laughed heartily at the Perkins family, and shared their sus- pense over the problem of the diamond. Joy Bedson was judged the best female character, as Mrs. Perkins. 34 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL Jones House chose A Night at an Inn, a mysterious play produced by Murial Lipsey. . Cast: A. E.

Miss Parker said that the stage setting was particularly commendable. Miss Parker said that the standard of performance was Avery creditable, and that in making her choice of the best she had been presented with a problem. Everyone enjoyed the preparation of the plays, even though practices were some- times irksome, and I think the girls were sorry when the night was over. BETTY CALVERT ,miss This year, as for the past few years, the girls brought toys and trinkets to school for the Indian children at Kam- sack, Saskatchewan. These were collected before Christmas so that they could be sent as Christmas presents. The Mission Tea is to be held on Sat- urday, May 18th, and as usual the money raised at this tea will go partly to the Zenana Bible and Medical Mission and inns partly to the Sunday School by Post which does such good missionary Work in Canada. The money sent to India helps to support an Indian girl at the school and a cot in the hospital, and also pays part of a teacher's salary. We are con- fident that our Mission Tea will be as great a success this year as it has been in the past. BETTY CALVERT THE EAGLE 35 Zinitiatiun ap llllustrated by Beth ZlfCEfLC'h,67'H, The 7 o'clock rising bell rang with its usual vim and vigour.

During the evening punch, cake and sandwiches were served, and soon dis- appeared 1n a cloud of crumbs.

The Kindergarten children are a busy and happy group. While painting and handicraft are enjoyed by all, they derive the greatest pleasure from the music circles. The children gave an Eastern con- cert which was enjoyed as much by them, as by their parents and friends. B. Cox .Tilli THE DEER One year we Went to Farlane for our holidays. The deer here were very tame. One morning just after the sun had risen, and before I had my breakfast,I went out- side. It was a very pleasant day indeed. You could see the lake from the cottage. I was turning to go back in when I heard tramp, tramp, it came from the trees. I looked up and there was a deer and a fawn coming towards me. I broke a branch off a tree, it had a lot of tender green leaves on it. I held it out and the tiny deer nibbled the leaves from the branch. Suddenly they turned and disappeared among the trees. During the summer we often saw the deer, sometimes they came quite close, and always seemed to like us. JOYCE DULMAGE, fGrade IIJ A BEAR AT CLEAR LAKE We were at Clear Lake last summer and had such a good time. We heard that a bear was wandering around and we all hoped that he would not come near our cottage. One evening men came to our cottage to get Daddy. They said that the bear had been caught. I had to stay in bed, but I did Want to go along too. The next morning Daddy took me down to the spot where the bear had been found. Trees had been cut down and piled, without the branches being cut off, and the bear had gone through the brush and got tangled so that he could not get free. He was caught by the men and didn't give us any more trouble, but I wish I could have seen him alive in the brush.

MY PONY We have a farm at Headingly and my three brothers and I all have ponies to ride. My brother was given a little brown pony. Her name is Beulah. I rode this pony and liked her best of all. On my birthday, January 21st, Henry gave her to me for a present. We have so much fun together. Beulah is having a colt in the summer time. When we ride and jump fences Beulah stops and stands still and just watches the other horses go over. One day when we were riding Beulah bucked. I fell off. She quickly came back to me. She put her nose down and said she was sorry. When I go into her stall she tries to get mv hat in her mouth. Every Sunday I bring her sugar and carrots. I love Beulah. DOROTHY RICHARDSON, fGrade ID OUR PET DOG One day when I was playing out on the street I saw a little dog following me. I took the dog to my house. My mother was washing down in the basement that day, so I took the dog clown to the base- gient. My mother thought it -was a stray og. Mother came upstairs and 'phoned the police. The policeman put an advertise- ment in the paper. One day a lady came and said she thought the dog was hers, but she found it was not hers. No one else came to claim the dog so we called her our own. One night there was a big crash. We all ran to the kitchen to see what had happened. My dog was up on the table licking the butter. We had not cleared away the dishes. She broke practically all the dishes. So we put her down in the basement to sleep. The next day we gave her a nice breakfast, befause we had forgiven her.

He is very nice and kind. But he goes away so often and doesn't come back for three or four days. One day Skipper got a cut in his paw and had to have three stitches in it. Skipper is a clever dog. When we go swimming sometimes he jumps in with us and swims too. Skipper is a great friend of mine. He stays with me most of the time when I am at home, and even comes to meet me at the bus sometimes. HONOR BONNYCAS-TLB, qGrade HD MY DREAM One night I turned out the light and when I went to sleep I had the queerest dream. I dreamt that I visited the princess in Fairyland. In my dream I had on the same kind of clothes that the princess had. I had on a blue hat with sparkles all over it alnd a long blue dress. We also had blue s oes. We went to a dance and we wanted 'to be back by one o'clock so we set up a clock in the dance hall. All the boys wanted to know what the clock was for. I told nearly all of them and then the princess took over. The clock was just going to strike one when I woke up. My, that dream seemed so very real. BEVERLEY AIRD, fGrade IVJ A RADIO SPEECH LESSON Monday mornings we have a radio speech lesson instead of our usual read- ing lesson. I will tell you about one of our lessons.

When the radio program came on the air we were able to follow the directions Miss McCance gave us and join in, and take part with many boys and girls in Manitoba. This speech lesson was followed by a story of Dumpy the Pony, which we all enjoyed. JOY MCLAURIN, qGrade IV3 MY SHOES During our social studies lessons we have been studying about leather. We wrote all our lessons in a book which looked like a large boot. We learned so many 'things about leather. When we found out leather is really cowhides we memorized the poem, The Cow, by Robert Louis Stevenson. One of the girls read the story of The Shoemaker and the Elves and we had a picture show of this story too. We learned about the diierent qualities of leather, also that it goes through a tannery before going to a factory. After leather has been cut and shaped it is sewn by either hand or machine, and then made into shoes and packed in boxes before going to the shoe stores. The next time we buy new shoes it will be more interesting because we know how shoes are made and where they come from. RUTH ASHLEY, fGrade IVJ THAT'S GRAMMAR Diana Brown wrote in her book, The dog is laying down. The dog is lying down you mean, Said Teacher with a frown. You ought to know that hens lay eggs, But dogs do not lay down. But if you're speaking of the past, And what you want to say Is that the dog was lying down Last week or yesterday, Why, then, you say the dog lay down. Now is that clear, Diana Brown?

BULA PATERSON, iGrade VIIJ A VISIT TO CLEAR LAKE Clear Lake is one of Manitoba's loveliest holiday resorts. It is situated in Riding Mountain National Park. For many years it was practically unknown because there was no railroad in, and no roads were built until the territory was set apart as a National Park. The lake itself is a beautiful sight. The water is a deep greenish blue, and it is fringed with tall pine trees. THE EAGLE 43 GRADE VII Back Row: Pamela Garton, Betty Muir, Norma Shipley, Geraldine Scheopp, Patricia Copley.

Many attractive cottages can be seen all along the lake. For those interested in sports there are tennis courts, playgrounds, riding stables, golf course, boating, and fishing. There is a very interesting Museum Building set in a beautiful flower garden. One of the sights of this garden is the great rows of delphiniums which grow in great numbers. The Museum itself contains stuffed specimens of the bird and animal life of Manitoba, and a ccl- lection of Indian relics and handicraft. The furniture is hand made from native wood and is very beautiful. It contains a small Chapel which is available to any Church for services. The whole park is beautifully kept and I can think of no lovelier place to go for a summer vacation than Clear Lake. PAT COPLEY, fGrade VID FANCY Across the ever-flowing river, A lovely place is to be seen, Half hidden in the mists of morning, Clothed in wisps of mossy green. Do the fairy folk live yonder? Do the fairy flowers bloom ? Does their elfin Queen sit weaving, Weaving at a precious loom? Does she weave the tales of princes, Lovely tales of joy and woe? Does she weave from scenes of nature Lake of blue that I love so ? All these thoughts are but a question, An unanswered mystery, If I stopped at facts, not fancy, Anyone could answer me.

THOUGHTS Alone at night With a sense of solitude creeping o'er me I feel the claws of thought Drift down, Too dense to see completely. Only fragments of thought come to me At a time. Perhaps when mortal life Is near an end I may be able to piece these fragments together. How can I tell what may come of them? My thoughts might make the petals of many flowers Or altogether make the heavens a trifle bluer.

THE MODERN CINDERELLA At the present there was a slick chick with a drape shape named Cinderella. Her gruesome stepmother had two daughters, Cinderella who had to wear prim sloppy joes all day and was called a cinder wench. The other was a triple unhubba hubba girl. The king's son a heavenly hurd gave a B 'n B which invited all the twoderful chick chicks and their mellow men. This was a hunk of a heartache to Cinderella as she was not allowed to even join a hag stag let alone a crash dive with a jive bomber. That afternoon she helped her sister don her date dress with all her jingle jangles. Her sister thought she would be dait bait for all the F. J's as she left with her o.a.o. he said Lets tumble tumble weed. We shan't be late if you'll be jet propelled. So Cinderella was left mooching by the fireplace. With a whiz her fairy grand- mother appeared saying Pass the gravel gertie. If you want anything just whistle. .HI wish I could go out on a bombing mission with my solid jackson. It would be twoderful to make with the feet and munch moo with goo. Her wish was granted. She found her- self in a lush plush with reet pletes, her hair in a top knot, wearing hedge hoppers and looking like the bell of the ball. Her dream boy had arrived and before the two record raters left they heard the atomic grandmother telling her to hit the hay before the witches prowl. At the B 'n B canteen she jived with the heavenly hurd falling in love, but as time waits for no one soon if was time to leave. By chance when the hep cat scrambled down the stairs one of her gorgeous hedge hoppers slipped off her foot. After she had gone the heavenly hurd found it and said he'd get hitched to the girl who owned it. The fo'lowing dav he rode to every house in his super duper maxwell. Soon he arrived at the sad sacked stepmother's place and inquired if they would don the shoe. When the sweet dished Cinderella's turn came they fitted her rhythm rocking feet exactly. He had found the apple of his eye and the two eloped. Her startled sister felt like an inside dope to think that a cinder wench had become ri -:over girl. So the doll dazzler Cinderella and her heavenly hurd had smooth sailing till the end of iime. SHIRLEY ANDERSON.

What on earth is the dif- ference between astrology and astro- nomy? What does UNRRA mean? Do you think we'll win? We'll never live it down if we don't!f' This was the typical conversation of the four members of the J U G S not Jugs but Just Us Girls -as they climbed to the second floor of the Free Press Building for six consecutive Mon- day nights at seven p.m. to take part in the program Dollars for Scholars. At seven we trooped into the office of CKRC and were introduced to Professor Monty Halperin who in turn introduced us to our opponents for the evening. We were lucky enough to win for three straight weeks, but on our fourth we tied with Grade Eleven from Kelvin by whom we were finally beaten on our sixth week. However we made quite a fortune and had a good time as well. Our team consisted of four girls and a substitute. Dorothy Newman, our captain, suc- ceeded in catching a good dose of chicken pox in our sixth week. Donna Armstrong, s e c 0 n d m a n, acquired the odd nickname of Donna Along the Navajo Trail Armstrong Boxer, which was given to her on our first broadcast for her answers and bow legs-from riding fshe says 1. Alison Govan was known for thor- oughly securing her stockings before the mike and, from extreme nervousness, sagging at the knees. Sheila Young was our Anchor Girl. Sheila was disturbed because she couldn't take her two dozen issues of Time Maga- zine and current newspapers on the stage with her. She had drilled the contents of the same into the rest ofthe team before the program. Judy Adamson suddenly ,found herself in front of a microphone, on the sixth week, pinch-hitting for Dorothy. The air audience tells us that the iirst thing they heard as she reached the mike was a strange noise - made by her teeth chattering over the floor of the studio. The team sits on the record for the year so far, and some night later in the year there may possibly be a bell pealing the tune of School Days, and then four J UGS will be airing their knowledge 1 they hide it welll, because the sponsors want the winning teams back to compete later in the year. So keep your fingers crossed and your radios tuned in on CKRC on Monday evenings.

J ANE MATHER, C Grade XJ IMPRESSIONS OF A NEWCOMER When I first walked into the tall, im- pressive f?J building indicated by the brass plate as Rupert's Land Ladies' College, I wondered what type of ladies attended this school. I soon found out as I entered the senior cloak-room. Such a quiet QU, tidy Q ? ? ?J lot of girls, never combing their hair, and none would think of looking in the mirror fit might make them too vainl. When I entered the Grade Ten class- room and saw my fellow classmates I was very pleased. But were they? Imprinted on each face was the staggering 'thought Where did this queer apparition come from ? However I soon realized that I was not the only newcomer, and they 'too had misgivings. During a fortnight of living in a state of semi-undress tno tiel, I wandered aimlessly through the palatial Q ? 'IJ halls of this magnificent edifice of learning. In this time I had the pleasure of becom- ing acquainted with my t e a c h e r s fwhether this feeling was mutual I may never knowb. Finally initiation day arrived and by evening I had suffered many indignities such as calisthenics twhewj in my father's underwear and my bathing suit. However this was all a lot of fun for everyone, including the victim, and part of becoming an Old Girl and being under the Rupert's Land roof. 48 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL However to all who are contemplating entering our halls of learning may I say don't let this little talk frighten you, for at Rupert's Land you will find a group of fun-loving girls forever Seeking the Heights. PRISCILLA RAYNER, fGrade XJ ON MUSIC There has always been a continual de- bate concerning the merits of Modern Music as compared to that of the 'Old Masters, but ever since the issue of that stirring show HA Song to Remember a great number of the adolescent screams of 'G-Oh Frankie-you send me! have turned gracefully to romantic sighs of Ah . . . Chopin! But I wonder how many of you would still continue to hero-worship Chopin if you knew that he had an inexcusable passion for pink gloves and spent a great deal of his time picking out fancy 'walking canes! But that is beside the point which is- where does classical music end and popu- lar music begin? Take again Chopin. Imagine how he would have felt knowing that the crooner Perry Como made twice as much money for his recordings of Till the End of Time as Chopin him- self made by writing the original Polo- naise. However I am sure he would have been very happy indeed to know that his music has been revived by such men as Jose Iturbi, Cornel Wilde and Perry Como, and is now heard every day by millions more people than probably -ever heard the original composition as played in Chopin's time. Call some of these renditions disgraceful if you will, the fact remains that many people' have learned to appreciate good music not only by listening to the original compositions of Chopin, but also by singing and play- ing the modern 'versions of them. Today bobby-soxers clamor for the autographs of musicians and other public figures, but the eighteenth century bobby-soxers went wild trying to obtain samples of Liszt's bathwater. However the great musicians of this latter cen- tury were rarely appreciated by the critical public of their own age. There- fore how can we know what place Bing Crosby's singing, Irving Berlin's com- posing, Paul Whiteman's conducting and the piano playing of Jose Iturbi will take in the Hall of Fame ? Only time will tell! BARBARA CAMERON., Q Grade XJ THE SENTIMENTAL GENTLEMANU No doubt it is everyone's dream when she is young to meet celebrities from the literary and the musical world, and from that fabulous land of make-believe, Hollywood. We are no exception. But it is not so easy as it may seem, and when we first decided to interview Band Leader Tommy Dorsey we had no idea of the difficulties we were going to encounter before the required interview was ours. If we had known I doubt if we would have been so full of enthusiasm at the start! A YVe arrived at the hotel in time to meet the members of the band, and spoke to several including Greg Phillips, Jack Doughety, Johnny Potoker, Larry Hall, Sye Oliver fmanagerj, Alvin Stroller fdrumsj, Babe Fresk, Ziggy Elman ftrumpetj, and the vocalist, Stuart Foster. Mr. Elman, who was formerly with Benny Goodman's band, was par- ticularly helpful, and talked to us for some time about Mr. Dorsey. Some hours later we managed to speak to Mr. Jacobs on the telephone to ar- range an interview with him. Mr. Jacobs, a slim, dark-haired young man, met us in the lobby, and it was from him that we got our information. Mr. Jacobs told us that Mr. Dorsey was sleeping and could not be disturbed, otherwise we would have been able to talk to him personally. The band leads a very hard life, often going for long hours without rest, and playing a succession of one-night stands, so that whenever pos- sible the players sleep in the daytime. After leaving Winnipeg it is going to Saskatoon, from there to Edmonton, then to Calgary, and finally Vancouver. On May 6 Mr. Dorsey is taking his orchestra to Hollywood where he will make another picture. When asked how Mr. Dorsey got his start as an orchestra leader, Mr. Jacobs replied that the two Dorsey brothers, Jimmy and Tommy, formed their Own band in 1933, and in 1935 Tommy decided to form his own orchestra. We asked what Mr. Dorsey thought of the classics, and Mr. Jacobs replied that he liked 'them very much, but a swing band did not have much chance to perform them in their original form. Here Mr. Jacobs laughed. However, he said, we often swing the classics. Sweet music is Mr. Dorsey's favorite type of music, his favorite songs being Stardust and There Are Such Things. In answer to our inquiry concerning the appreciativeness of Canadian aud- iences compared with American ones, Mr. Jacobs replied, Definitely Canadian audiences are as appreciative of Mr. Dor- sey's music as American ones, if not more so. He added that although this was not Mr. Dorsey's first trip to Canada, it was THE E AGLE M his Hrst visit to western Canada. He said that Mr. Dorsey had not had much time to form an opinion, but from what he had seen of the west he liked it better than Eastern Canada, as he found the people more friendly. He added that the people here dressed more like the people in New York. Soon after, we left the three men, Mr. Jacobs, Mr. Elman and Mr. Foster, feel- ing sure that Tommy Dorsey's orchestra would score a hit not only in Winnipeg, but in every city in which they perform. NORNIA DAVIDSON AND JANET REID QGrade XJ ,il-1-1-1 CONTENTMENT An antiquated and very dusty bus joggled along a broad highway. The wide, modern highway was smooth enough, but the dilapidated condition of the bus. caused evident discomfort to the passengers. The bus was crowded with many women who, despite the many jolts and bumps, were vainly trying to catch a glimpse of the rolling New York scenery through the dust-laden windows. The country air was fresh with the sweet, pure smells of spring, but inside the bus the sickly odor of stale gas overcame the sweeter breezes and left the poor women in a very depressed state. Suddenly the bus stopped with a jolt and the travel-worn women found 'them- selves outside several large buildings with a sign on the lawn reading, Hunter College. As they stumbled out the door they were greeted by a very business-like official in uniform. You ladies are to clean out this gym- nasium thoroughly and have it done by five o'clock. Buckets, water and mops are by the door, so hurry up . . . it's a large room. With these orders the women were directed to a large stone building and upon entering they knew that the official had not exaggerated when he had called the room large. Rows and rows of desks were arranged in semi-circles in front of a large platform where many tables and chairs were placed. Shavings and sawdust littered the floor causing audible grumbles from many of the women who all realized that a long, hard day lay before them. A young woman picked up her equip- ment without the many grumbles which were so prevalent among the rest of them, and quietly set about scrubbing one corner of the room. Her face was that of a young woman but her worried eyes and prematurely gray hair gave her the ap- pearance of a woman of fifty. Hey, Maggie, a voice called, got any extra soap? I forgot to get any. The young girl straightened her back and shoved a cake across the floor to her companion. Here you are, she said. Thanks, Mag. Say, I saw your kids at the school festival last night. Swell buncha kids ya go there-yes sir-some swell kids. Yes, they were 'swell kids' alright, thought Maggie. But five children eat a lot of food which costs a lot of money, so I guess I'll have to go on working for it. If only their father hadn't lost his arms overseas . . . but that can't be helped. Breaking away from her thoughts Maggie sat on one of the many desks around the room and rested her aching back. Glancing around her she noticed that many of the women were simply sitting in groups laughing and gossiping. At first Maggie thought that they were simply resting but soon she noticed that they did not look in the least tired and the work in their corner was far behind that of the work of the other sections of the room, so Maggie began to wonder. They were being paid by the hour so what did they care? No one was super- vising them, so who would ever be the wiser, for the more energetic and honest ones could do most of the work? Why couldn't Maggie earn her money that way, for wasn't gossiping much easier than scrubbing floors ? All these thoughts raced through Maggie's mind. Then her eye caught the newspaper she had been kneeling on. Despite the dirty and wet condition of the paper a caption stared up at Maggie reading, Rate of Theft Rising in U.S.A. The sentence ran through and through Maggie's mind until suddenly the stark realization of what these women were doing flashed before her. Why that's what those women are doing, thought Maggie. By cheating on the job they are really stealing their employer's money. With a decided ges- ture Maggie Picked up her pail and set to work again. At the end of a tiring day Maggie re- turned to her shabby apartment on the east side of New York, and as she re- turned four dollars richer than she had been when she left the apartment, the five children, her disabled husband and herself had their first substantial meal fn a week. For the next few days Maggie worked doggedly at any jobs she could find and soon her Hnancial 'worries were lessening, for with determination such as hers no one could fail. One evening Maggie heard the familiar clack, clack, clack, of the landlady's heels as she ascended the wooden staircase. For the first time in weeks Maggie could open the door with a clear conscience to pay her patient landlady the rent which had long been overdue. But. much to Maggie's surprise the landlady did not mention the rent at all. 50 RUPERT'S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL She said, Mrs, Wilson, didn't you say that you were cleaning at Hunter College the other day? Why, yes, I did, Maggie replied. Well, I thought you might be inter- ested in this then, answered the land- lady, whereupon she thrust a paper into Maggie's hands and promptly left. Curiously Maggie opened the paper and wonderment soon changed to sur- prise as she read the headline, U.N.O. Conference Meets at Hunter College To- day. Looking down further lVIaggie's eyes rested upon a picture of Mr. Byrnes, the Secretary of State, sitting in one of the many desks in a large room. Why he's sitting in the very desk I sat in when I decided to really work for my living. Thank goodness I cleaned it well, she cried. She sank into a chair with a smile on her face. Maggie was contented. JENNIFER MCQUEEN, fGrade XJ .T,...i-il FISH? In the middle of June Neath a pale blue moon A fish went flying by. And to his mate A charming young skate He opened his mouth to cry- O Marilla, How happy I would be If we could find a pea-green boat And sail to the Emerald Sea. Now Marilla was a kindly fish, And greatly loved was she, So she washed her claws And bowed and scraped And came to beg of me. Now I didn't have a pea-green boat Nor paddy green, nor blue, But Marilla thanked me anyway, A pleasant fish it's true. Marilla's kindly husband, Josiah Brown by name, Was feeling very badly, But shook: his tousled mane, And settled down, and worked quite hard And found 'twas not in vain. For finally through careful work A pea-green boat was made. He fitted it with sail and oars And called it Misty Maid. The moral of this story is That whether fowl or fish, If strong your will And with moderate skill, You can get what e'er you wish.

As night is drawing nigh, The moon her pale white rim relights. Across the darkened river, A hundred lights awaken. Reflections on the river Are rippling with the river's flow.

ROSEMARY WATKINS, fGrade XJ ON BUTTONS lTo be read quickly-or not at alll Buttons! Buttons! and more buttons! Some wise people claim that the world hangs together by buttons although frankly, if the truth be told, I would rather rely on a zipper. I don't really mean 'rely' on a zipper though because it is never safe to rely on such articles. Nevertheless, instead of talking about buttons, let us discuss these said zippers. Now a zipper is a metal fixture which consists of numerous little hooks fastened in two delicate rows on opposite sides of a long gap. This gap is exactly what we want to overcome and so we take a metal runner and zip it up over the hooks which snuggle down beside each other, thus interlocking, and pulling their re- spective materials together. Zippers run in a variety of colors, in a variety of lengths and in a variety of powers. I know a certain long one on a certain briefcase, that is fto say it mildlyj quite temperamental. There are times when great gaps occur only to ex- pose the contents and the problem would have been worse had the zipper been on a dress instead of the case. Then there is another which I have had the misfor- tune to come in contact with. This one is hidden in a suit skirt, and it was impu- dent enough to break the first week that I had it. However I soon overcame this with that master invention-the safety pm. Safety pins are TRULY wonderful. When the buckles and buttons all fall off our horses' blankets, what do we use? The safety pin. But why waste time on a pin, let us discuss. the horse. QI knew I would get there somehow-as usual ! ! U A horse is a large animal who uses THE E AGLE M four legs for his locomotion. These legs vary in size according to the breed of the horse but they are nearly always quite beautiful. Moving up from the front legs we approach the shoulder which is a massive structure that denotes the speed and power of the horse. Leaving the shoulder, we proceed along a sleek neck to a head. At the top of this head we find two ears which are exceedingly wonderful in that they can put them- selves in nearly any position the horse wishes to put them in according to his mood. These ears are fitted into sockets thus enabling the equine to turn them completely around to the' back or to the front, and, because of the numerous moods, there are numerous positions. From the ears we move down past the large brown eyes to his nose, only to end up at the mouth which is usually ex- amined from the inside. Once inside we find two rows of teeth. A horse's age can be told by his teeth fthat is so because a horse eats side- Waysl but frankly Cjoke ! U I have never dared to get close enough to de- termine the horse's age-who wants to know ! ! ? I have often wondered how old the whale was that Jonah was inside, but then, as I am not sure if one tells the age of a whale by his teeth or not, it really does not make much difference and what is more, if Jonah was INSIDE the whale, what would he be doing in the locality of the whale's teeth-such folly would be dangerous no less. I mean after all-the poor man - he didn't realize that we wanted to know that whale's age or I feel sure that he would have made a point of exploring the mammal's grinders on the way down. Enough of this. please, how did I get from buttons to zippers to safety pins to horses to whales? I for one don't know but only wish that when I started I could have known just what was going to hap- pen, but even so, buttons can be very pretty, don't you think? JOY BEDSON, fffirade XID -...ii..l.i. THE LONELY PATH Robbie! You get out of that bed! Goodness me! if you ain't the laziest boy I ever saw! For Pete's sake, hurry! It's ten after eight. Bob slowly sat up and climbed out of bed, stretching his fourteen years' growth as he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands. Amid a few grunts and groans he dressed, taking great care to have his pants hanging in the proper folds and his hair waved at the right spot. Before going downstairs, he turned to the .window and opened it, letting the fresh spring air flow into the room. The past him, intoxicating him a little with sweet elusive smell of budding lilacs fled its fragrant memory. He looked down at the garden where sprouts of carrots, radish, celery, chives and lettuce were beginning to peep through the wiggly rows of earth. A large fat robin tried vainly to yank a squirming earthworm from the earth, with a tremendous tug he succeeded, and flew triumphantly away. Bob turned and went downstairs slowly, knowing that he had to face the usual morning ordeal. His mother never stopped nagging at him, he though bitterly. As he entered the kitchen, he saw his mother, a small, thin, energetic woman, bustling around the kitchen, trying to eat her breakfast, prepare Bob's, and wash last night's dishes. The result was a fail- ure for Bob's. breakfast. Grimly he removed his blackened toast from the toaster, cut another piece, put it in, and started his breakfast, while his mother began her usual scolding. Look here, my boy, you know darn well that I have to be at work at quarter to nine. From now on you get up when I call you understand? Yes, Maw, said Bob sullenly. And listen here, she continued, Mr. Barkwell, your teacher, called and asked me why you were away last week, if you skip school again, so help me I'll-I'll-, she paused, realizing that she, herself, could do nothing. I'll tell your paw when he comes back. Yeah! said Bob filling his mouth with cereal, and removing the toast and but- tering it. Also, I'd like to know where you spend your time. Just where do you go these late nights? You just wait till your paw gets back! she threatened. Bob half listened, not really caring what his mother said. It was the same old story morning after morning, his mother always said she was going to have a talk with him but never did. She was too busy for him, he thought, she didn't care much because she didn't have time to. He grabbed his books and his lunch and turned to go. Robbie, see if you can clean up the house a little before I get back to- night, she yelled after him. Aw nuts! growled Bob as he left. He scuffled down the sidewalk and turned the corner. As soon as he was out of sight of the house he dragged out a package of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one and casually threw the match over his shoulder. He puffed at it, letting it hang from the corner of his mouth as he had seen Ed Carpenter do. Ed was sixteen, the leader of Bob's gang, a hard boiled, cocky kid. Bob was extremely proud to be in Ed's gang: there were only six others in it, Bud W: . ff CSL E. L ,Cl .ll l M. if 1 5 fi C ffjfff' 52 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL w KV f- 'C 'rf 4 : . f2vw . .

Nachod, Jeff O'Hara, Shorty Carpevitch, Lefty Roberts, Chuck Harvey, Ed and himself. These seven stuck together through everything. Quite often Bob had a twinge of con- science strike him when he skipped school, went to the pool room or raided empty houses, but he knew that his mother would not have time to discover what his pastimes were, so th e s e moments were soon forgotten. Lately the gang had been searching for more dangerous excitement. Just last week Bud, Jeff and Shorty had broken into the MacIntosh house when the Mac- Intoshes were out, and destroyed every window and picture. Bob knew that he would have to do this to prove himself a permanent member of the gang, and he did not relish the thought of such wanton destruction. But he thought Ed was a great guy and would follow him anywhere to be with him. Bob knew he would have to prove himself as tough as the rest of them because he was two years younger. He. turned another corner and saw Ed walking ahead of him. Hey, Ed! he yelled, accompanying it by a shrill whistle. Ed turned and waited. Hi, kid! he said as Bob came running ! up. Well kid, I got you your job ! he added, eyeing Bob's face as he said it. Yeah? was the only remark. Yeah! You and Lefty and Chuck gotta steal old man Byrnes' tires. Gotta good buy for them from a guy at the filling station. This is where we start kid. 'Yeah! said Bob again. Where, how and when? This morning. What! Listen, what do you think I am? cried Bob. OK, OK! Can it. It's safe. Got it all figgered out. No cop will be near, see, 'cause it's daylight. Bob nodded. Old man Byrnes sleeps in till eleven. The garage is around the corner and can't be seen from his bedroom window, or the kitchen. Chuck' and Lefty are meeting you outside the garage on the opposite side from the house. HOKi-.79 Ed grabbed his arm as Bob turned to leave. And listen, kid, if you don't come through you know what .happens- Bob knew. He had known kids that had failed to take 'the big step' in other gangsg he had seen their lacerated faces and bruised limbs. He gulped and turned down Crescent Avenue, which branched off into Fair- view Avenue, where old man Byrnes lived. The street had a relaxed air, even though scores of cars were bustling along, honking, swerving, parking, the row of trees along each side of the street were wearing new summer dresses, stretching their chartreuse arms towards the sky. The two general drug stores, on the corner of Crescent and Fairview, wore complacent faces as people hurriedly rushed in and out of their mouths. Bob loved to watch people, he liked to feel their exuberant energy, he loved to watch fleeting expressions cross their faces, some of boredom, happiness, list- lessnessg some were tired and worried. As he walked by Sumner's Drug Store he saw a man in a wheelchair advancing towards him. Bob wanted to turn and flee, his stomach rolled into a small hard ball and sank to the ends of his toes. He stared at the man and saw only two stark stumps where there should have been two legs. He forced himself to walk past the veteran and as he did, he saw him looking at his own legs, a bitter smile on his face. That was Bob's first introduction to war casualties, the first one he had seen. His cigarette was iinished now, so he threw it away, then hauled out the pack- age and lit another. Turning down Fairview, he noted with THE EAGLE 53 thankfulness in his heart, that the narrow street was deserted. He began to think of what he was about to do and of the prestige and honour he would gain from it with the boys. More than anything else, he Wanted to be a real member of Ed's gang. He knew that the boys looked down on him because he was younger. Well here was his big chance! But no matter how he tried to divert his mind, he could not stop thinking of the veteran with the two pitifully empty spaces where his legs should have been. He dragged on his cigarette again but could not rid himself of his nauseated feeling. Now he saw before him, his father's face, a dim vision. Not having seen his father for four and one-half years, the features were uncertain and the face in- distinguishable. He had been nine years old when his father had joined the army, and now he was fourteen and his father was in Germany waiting to come home. He saw Chuck and Lefty ahead and waved. A nervous fluttery feeling crept into his stomach as the thought of the penalty if he were caught. Ready? whispered Chuck. Yeah. Everything's jake, whispered back Bob. As they crept into the garage, suddenly the soldier's bitter smile and his father's iilndistinguishable face appeared before im. Without warning, he clutched Chuck's arm and hoarsely whispered: Chuck, I'm not going through with it. I can't! What! the boys gasped. Why you yellow little coward, snarled Lefty. No, that's not it, interrupted Bob ciuietly. You don't understand. I don't t ink you ever Will. He turned and disappeared before the boys could recover from their surprise. As he walked down the dark narrow path towards the sidewalk, he felt lost and lonely. The brush and twigs scratched against him, cutting and hurting, the bushes on either side slashed and stung, leaving raw red welts on his arms and face, so he could not see, stumbling and tripping himself. Suddenly he was in the sunshine, 'warm and free. He was not quite sure, but he fancied that he saw the soldier standing before him on crutches, smiling. JEAN MCEACHERN, f Grade XD FAREWELLS It is with great regret that We say goodbye this summer to Miss Faraday who for nine years has taught physical work and gymnastics throughout the school. During this time she has created an excellent standard of sportsmanship among the girls, and has pfayed a lead- ing part in organizing basketball matches between the private schools in the city. From the youngest ones to the seniors, every girl has felt her influence, and 'will long remember the fine training she has received from Miss Faraday. WVhen she is home once more in England, we hope that she will often think of her friends of R.L.S., both present members of the school and old girls, all of 'whom com- bine to wish her happiness in the future. Mrs. Gray will also be leaving us this June, after two years in the school. As form teacher of Grade VIII, English teacher in the middle school, and an associate member of Machray House, she has had many friendly contacts with the girls who have appreciated her kindly interest in all their activities. Our best wishes go with her, and we hope that she will pay us a visit whenever she is in Winnipeg. .1il.
