Shelagh McKnight SECRETARY ..,......,,,,.. Winifred Grayston Full of determination to win the shield this year, Dalton, under the enthusiastic leadership of Pat McKnight, is working hard. 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 .... ........

Esme Nanton This year has been one of hard work and pleasure for Jones House, under the capable leadership of Margaret Killick. 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.

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. MARTHA GRIMBLE CHead Girly

Sheila Young SECRETARY-TREASURER..AUOFCY Broadfoot Under the able leadership of Elspeth Young, our House Captain of last year, Machray House carried off the shield. 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.

Donna Baker JUNIOR SPORTS CAPTAIN Elizabeth Patton SECRETARY-TREASURER ...... 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. BETTY CALVERT, 1 Secretaryb
