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

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.

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.
