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

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.

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.

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.
