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. Also as usual, the ' ' ' boarders of 'Rupe opened a sleepy eye, , ' and promptly closed it in anticipation of '- t - ' another forty winks. However, little did 0 Q 'Q XX 1 lf they know . . . the day was Sept. 27th, fwg. W ' I , Initiation Day, and no sooner had the old Hg - -lj' girls realized this fact than they were QQQSZNG - A www, up and shaking the drowsy initiates into ' -, ' gmc A fn Q.. guys doubtful wakefulness. I -.. wwf'-'WK' 4158 SE 'HN A- .. -A The initiation - pranks 173 which started early in the morning continued all day, but the evening party was really the climax. Dressed fashionably in long wi n t e r underwear and one or two-piece bathing suits, les miserablesn executed weird dances and cut fantastic capers to amuse their exacting audience. One thing that haunts me yet is the agonized expression on Carolyn Searle's face, as she tickled some worms 1 'U with her bare feet! -Gwen Roberts rode a bicycle around the gym in fine style, and Shannon Hall 'cooked' an egg in the middle of the room, but due to a particular stomach was un- able to eat it! v - . i,.. The staff skit was hilarious, Nurse proving herself particularly versatile by making the trumpet say 'uncle'. Who will for canj ever forget Trudy Patton's impromptu speech on Love, for which she was later crowned fwith impressive ceremonyy Miss Rupert's Land, 1945. And who can feature Nancy McAra's consternation on discovering that the empty balcony she had made love to had really contained Miss Turner? Nancy left 'Rupe soon after that . . . I wonder if .... During the evening punch, cake and sandwiches were served, and soon dis- appeared 1n a cloud of crumbs. The party broke up about 10.15 with the singing of Alta Petens, the tired initiates soon retired to bed, feeling themselves 'new girls' no longer, but really a part of 'Rupe.

Mary Harris In placing this play third with 159 marks, Miss Parker said that the girls had made a good attempt at presenting a difficult play. The dim lighting was particularly effective, especially when the idol reclaimed its stolen eye which glowed red in the dark. Pk if Ik Shivering Shocks, produced by Judy Claydon, was presented by Machray House, and received 148 marks. Cast : CAPTAIN DALLAS, V.C., D.S.0. ............ Judy Claydon KYSH ......................

Gwen Roberts INSPECTOR JAMES POLLOCK De Lamater As Sheila Young was unable to take the part of Captain Dallas, Judy Claydon, at very short notice, took her place, for which she deserves much credit. 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 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. RONALD DIAMOND, fGrade III
