During the years of war, which covered such a large pro- portion of your lives, there was much less of this feelingg we all knew what we had to do, we had to keep going, striving, working, sacrificing until the war was over, It is since those wonder- ful V-E and V-J days that we have lived as it were on the brink of an abyss, not knowing what to expect nor where the next step may take us. We always said during the war that settling down to peace would be even more difficult than winning the victory, though most of us, I think, secretly hoped it might not be so. Now we know how difficult it is proving to be, and you girls have indeed tremendous problems to face as you go out from school into the life of adults. Just recently there has come to you over the air such a ringing challenge, such a clarion call as should stir you all to a determination to obey the call and take up the challenge, to go forward dauntless and with high courage into the future. I hope you all heard or read Princess Elizabeth's birthday talk. If you did not, get hold of a copy somehow. Its simple sincerity and deep feeling cannot fail to move you, and the greatest note is that of unselfishness and a sense of duty. I can- not do better, I feel, this year than to let my message to you be Princess Elizabeth's message. I will therefore finish this letter by quoting some of her words: Will you, the youth of the British family of nations, let me speak on my birth- day as your representative? Now that we are coming to manhood and womanhood. it is surely a great joy to all of us to think we shall be able to take some of the burden off the shoulders of our elders who have fought and worked and suffered to protect our childhood. We must not be daunted by the anxieties and hardships that the war has left for every nation of our commonwealth. We know that these things are the price we cheerfully undertook to pay for the high honour of standing alone seven years ago in defense of the liberty of the world .... There is a motto which has been borne by many of my ancestors - a noble motto - 'I servef Those words were an inspiration to many bygone heirs to the throne when they made their knightly dedication as they came to manhood. I can- not do quite as they did, but through the inventions of science I can do what was not possible for any of them. I can make my solemn act of dedication with a whole empire listening. I should like to make that dedication now. It is very simple. I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong. but I shall not have strength to carry out this resolution alone unless you join in it with me, as I now invite you to do. I know that your support will be unfailingly given. God help me to make good my vow and God bless all of you who are willing to share in it. I know you will all help. Yours affectionately, ELSIE M.

Johanne Wintemute THE EAGLE 21 T hitnriztl Our school life can, and does, have a great influence upon us, because the training it gives is very valuable in preparing us to be good citizens. School is more than a routine of classes, homework, meetings and games, for school days can be the Best Years of Our Livesi' This is due to personal contacts one makes in a school, whether it is large or small, for getting along with people is a lesson we must all learn some time or other, and school is the best place for this. Co-operation is the keyword for get- ting along with people, it is not enough just to like and understand people of one's own age and temperament. The true mixer is at home and at ease with people of all kinds. In school, one can be friends with the young children in Grades One and Two right up to the members of the staff, as well as with people who have dif- ferent interests and personalities from one's own. Egotism and autocracy, shyness and in- feriority cannot exist where there is under- standing and co-operation. No one person can run everything in this world, any more than one person could have put on the Variety Show held at Rupe this year, or have done all the work that produced this magazine. Could one person make up the executive of such successful organizations as our Literary Society or Art Club? Certainly not! In fact there are no activities in a school that do not require co- operation in some degree. Working in executive positions, or sports teams, or on student councils while at school helps shy people to overcome their inferiority complexes which might otherwise burden them all their lives. It is interest in these things, the willingness to co-operate and be a part of such school life that makes up what is loosely termed school spirit. What exactly does the term school spirit mean? It is one which is hard to define. The real meaning is elusive because it is such an intangible thing and it is a combination of a lot of little things. The girls who do the little jobs, the unimportant, irksome, tasks which nevertheless must be done, are doing them not for personal glory, because there is none: not because they like doing them, because they are very tiresome, but because they must be done if the school is to run smoothly. The girls who helped behind the scenes at the Variety Show, the girls who collected advertisements for this magazine, the girls who wash dishes at the mission tea, are all in their own way, showing school spirit by doing jobs which they know will help things to keep going smoothly. Part of school spirit is the desire to be re- membered after one has left school. The girl who carves her name on the desk is merely trying to leave some tangible proof of her presence which will recall her memory to the minds of other girls for years in the future. Others choose a more adult way of leaving an impression in the memory of the school, for no girl with school spirit would want to be for- gotten as soon as she graduates. Some try to excel in a particular subject, sports or drama, music, art or other fields, in order that by their personal achievement in winning awards, they may reflect honor upon the school. It is school spirit that impels a girl to take an executive position she may not particularly want to hold, in some city-wide organization-not from per- sonal desire, but because she feels that her school should be represented, and that if she does her very best she can help raise the reputation of the school. It is not the number of positions a girl holds, nor the time she spends fulfilling them, but it is the spirit in which she does them that reveals her true school spirit. As we grow older and leave school, this spirit develops into a more mature, national and inter- national spirit. Our life enters another phase, and as Dr. MacFarlane said at Prize Giving last June, we are able to mould our lives with the set of tools of education we have been given at school. Thus it is the training of our minds by the books we study, the co-operation with others, the spirit of sportsmanship, the experience of both following and leading others and the last- ing friendships we make, all of which we gain in school, that are of inestimable value to us through our whole lives. Tm: EDITORS. RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL itrah CEM Another school year will soon be behind us: another Head Girl will be handing on her badge to the one who takes over her duties and re- sponsibilities. Each new Head Girl inherits something in the way of traditions and customs from her predecessor, but she seldom fails to contribute something personally which makes the year memorable to those who were as- sociated with her. Margaret Killick's association with the school dates back to her Grade I days of 19353 although she left us for Grade II and Grade VI, the re- maining ten school years were spent at R.L.S., and we are proud to claim Margaret as our own. Her interests reflect an all-round develop- ment, for she enjoys sailing, skiing and basket- ball, she has a fine appreciation of art and music, while her practical side is shown in her interest in leather Work and stamp and coin collecting. In basketball she has risen through the Junior, Third and Second Teams to the First, on which she has played centre. She has her Gold Cord, and has been very active and efficient as a Girl Guide in the School Company. Margaret has fine powers of leadership which were evident when she was Captain of Jones House from 1945-1946, and which have had fuller scope in her present position as Head Girl. She has a good sense of proportion, is very level- headed, and adds to these quiet virtues energy and determination, a sense of justice, an ability to mix well with others, and vision. An enemy of slackness and in- efficiency, she has set a high personal standard of work and conduct, while giving the impression that she finds life fun, and its many challenges stimulating rather than intimidating. Next year Margaret plans to study Arts or Interior Decorating at the University of Manitoba. Beyond that her plans do not go, but she hopes that life will give her opportunities for foreign travel. As she leaves us we wish her luck and promise that we shall always remember her friendly smile, her enthusiasm, and the many services which she has performed so willingly for those with Whom she has worked and Played. S.LL.T. MARGARET KILLICK mlm ll Hahn, Qlanahian Qlitizriwlgip The dawning of the new year, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, brought the dawning of a new era in Canada. As the year unfolds we shall see examples of what the new citizenship means to the people of our nation. To me it brings a new dignity as I believe it does to the nation. The members of my family were born in different countries of the world, and therefore we were of different nationalities, and now we are all Canadians. Some of my friends who, up until now, have been classed by the ugly word foreigners, now are Canadians with me. The French people of Quebec, the Scandinavians, Ukrainians, Poles, Ger- mans, English, Armenians, we are all united under one citizenship, that of Canada. No longer must we emphasize our racial extraction. We have the right to be called Canadians, to live and think as Canadians, but to retain the privileges of being part of the great British Commonwealth of Nations. THE EAGLE I find a new meaning in the words of our national anthem which all Canada may thrill to . . . With glowing hearts we see thee rise, the true north, strong and free. Canada may now claim her writers, actors and statesmen who have repaired to other countries to exercise their talents, and perhaps these great men will be inspired by the call of their new claimant to make Canada greater, The Honorable Paul Martin, Secretary of State, said in an address to Parliament on the Canadian citizenship bill . . . Citizenship is the right to full partnership in the fortunes and in the future of this nation. SHEILA YOUNG cGrade XD 1946 Srlinnl Qlzrlenhar, 1945-4? Sept. 17. Boarders arrived. Sept. 18.

A number of members of Dalton House, variously costumed, assembled in the common room on October, 20, to celebrate Hallowe'en. After a few elimination games, such as musical chairs, Betty Jo lined up all the contestants to be judged by Miss Turner and Miss Newton. After much discussion tbecause the costumes were so excellentj the judges gave the prize to Ann Oriel, who was a Chinaman, from her multi-colored slippers to the cap perched on her headg black trousers, and a large jacket with elaborate embroidery completed her costume. These boys and girls from many lands were masters of foreign languages, as could be seen by the liveliness of the chatter during the re- freshments. The same day a joint Jones-Matheson Hal- lowe'en party was held in the gym for the younger house members, who all came out in gay costumes. From four to six a jolly time was had by everyone. In ra gaily decorated room of orange pumpkins, black cats and witches, the girls and staff joined in the games under Jennifer's and Ann Windatt's able direc- tion. Hallowe'en refreshments were served, and then with the only light a small lighted pumfp- kin, the other sat while the executives sang ghost songs. To add an eerie note, an ugly face which glowed weirdly in the dark was suddenly shown in the room. Then, due to the time, the parties had to break up, and all went home, well fed, happy and full of Hallowe'en spirit. Judy Adamson ...,Ann Windatt ........Susan Clifford Janet Cameron WINTER! Machray House held their senior, fun-packed party on a Saturday in February, at Polo Park. All the girls met at the park and enjoyed a hilarious hour of tobogganing in spite of being driven in by the cold at short intervals to get warm. After one hour of this, We were kindly driven by Donna Kelley's father to the Kelley's home, where we passed a few hours of fun play- ing games, including darts and table tennis, following which we were served a delightful lunch under the supervision of Mrs. Kelley. After lunch We listened to the record player and had a sing-song, and then went home early in the evening, satisfied with an exciting day. The four o'clock bell sounded, at that, Mathe- son House members rushed downstairs to don their ski suits and return to the gym. There, Miss Sharman met us with some delicious candies, and we left to meet the tally-ho at Rosalind JohnSon's home. The Sleigh whisked us away, and there followed a gay, fun-filled hour on Cor really being pushed offb the straw- filled tally-ho. Happy-faced, we all returned, covered with straw, to Rosalind's door. Even her two friendly dogs tried to take off our straw as they jumped up to lick hands and faces in greeting. Inside, we gathered in the living-room to have refreshments. Mrs. Johnson gave us a lovely hot cocoa and ice cream to add to our sandwiches. There followed a few songs and a dance by some of the younger house members. At seven the party broke up after everyone had enjoyed herself immensely.

INTER-SCHOOL BASKETBALL LEAGUE For the first two terms basketball held the spotlight in the school sports, as the three teams played a total of eighteen games against River- bend and St. Mary's. It turned out that, all in all, we won nine games and lost nine games. Here are the results of all the inter-school games which our teams played: Nov. 15, Rupert's Land I vs, Riverbend I, 42-24, Won. Nov. 15, Rupert's Land II vs. Riverbend II, 28-8. Won. Nov. 29, Rupert's Land I, vs. St. Mary's I, Y 23-42,lost. Nov. 29, Rupert's Land II, 8-27, lost. Dec. 6, Rupert's Land II, vs. won.

A total of 216 goals was scored by all our teams during the Inter-Schol games. The aver- age number of points scored in each game for each team came out as follows: First team-33 points. Second team-16.2 points. Junior team-21.8 points. Several special games, outside of the Inter- School League, were played this year, one of the most interesting of which was the game played at the school on January 25th between the First and Second Teams of Kenora High School and Rupert's Land. The First Team game was one of the most thrilling games played this year, for from start to finish both teams were closely matched. In the last period some especially good play was witnessed by the numerous and responsive spec- tators. Amid their thundering cheers the teams scored goal for goal, and as the final whistle blew, Kenora had won with a score of 24-22. The Second Team game, although not as spec- tacular, was a very good game to watch, and the teams enjoyed playing it. In this game our team won with a score of 49-10. After the game, all the teams celebrated with a turkey dinner at The Homesteadf' Un- fortunately this year hias been too full to allow a return trip for us to Kenora, but we are earnestly hoping for an opportunity next year, to play our new Kenora friends on their own floor. Another special game was played at the school on March 27th, when our First Team had the pleasure of playing a team from Normal School. It was a good game and both teams played hard from start to finish. It was an especially good game when we consider that the Normal School Team had only been in prac- tice for a little over two months. Our team won with a score of 32-18, and we certainly hope to 'play them again next year. The last special game of the season was played at the school on Friday, March the 28th, when our First and Second Teams played the Alumnae, more affectionately known as 'tThL Old Girls. This annual game was played in a friendly spirit, rather than a competitive one, and was thoroughly enjoyed by both teams and 'E JENNIFER MCQUEEN spectators. As it turned out, both our teams won-the First Team with a score of 47-22, and the Second Team with a score of 35-17. After the game the teams enjoyed cokes and dough- nuts in the common room. At this point we should like to thank two people who have carried on a most valuable but thankless job for all the teams, Janet Cameron, our score-keeper, and Babs Cameron, our time-keeper, who have carried on this job very competently. Thanks a lot, girls. INTER-HOUSE SPORTS An extremely active and enthusiastic interest was taken by everyone in house sports this year. The basketball games were thrilling and both teams and spectators were exhausted by the end of the games. Dalton won the series, Machray came second, Jones came third, and Matheson came fourth. Two senior series of inter-house volleyball were played, and one intermediate series, which were equally good. The results appear below: Senior I-Matheson 91, Dalton 78, Jones 75, Machray 57. Senior I1-Matheson 45, Jones and Dalton 36, Machray 35. Intermediate-Dalton 42, Machray 38, Jones 28, Matheson 18. 30 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL Congratulations are due to the teams of all the houses who played hard and well. The inter- house tennis in the summer should be equally good. SUMMER SPORTS EVENTS At the time of writing, all we can do about some of the summer sports is to prophesy. A busy tennis and badminton season is planned and we are looking forward to the annual tennis tournament. Senior Gym Cups-First, Jennifer McQueeng second, Margot Burtong third, Shelagh Mc- Knight. Intermediate Gym Cup-First, Marlene Mus- grove: second place, Joan Everett, third place, Shelagh Morrison. Junior Gym Cup-Teresa Thaing second place, Delphine Daveyg third place, Cathy Young. Early in May we held our Physical Training and Gymnastic Display, which was combined with the Dancing this year. Enthusiastic gym- nasts diligently practiced for the Gym Competi- tion. which also took place in May. The results of this are shown below. Junior Gym Cup '???'?? Intermediate Gym Cup ? Senior Gym Cup This has been a happy and eventful year of sports in the school, and I should like to thank Miss Smith, on behalf of the girls, for making it so successful. In all the sports, especially basketball, and also for the Display, Miss Smith has worked with unceasing effort, helping us immensely and we owe her a debt of gratitude.

Jackie Langtry looked especially odd in a bathing suit, parka and snowshoes, and Ruth Harron, a dunce, typified the kind of students we hope are never found in Rupert's Land. The council arranged a program of Truth or Consequences, conducted by Jennifer Mc- Queen, Master of Ceremonies.

Janet Reid The Literary Society has had a very success- ful year under the leadership of our President, Miss Turner. About thirty members have attended the meetings, and the large number taking part in the various programs was a proof of their lively interest. Norma Davidson re-opened the first meeting of the year, on October 25th, while Miss Turner gave an extremely good review of previous year books of our school and other schools. Questionnaires were distributed at the first meeting to help the executive in the selection of programs. On October 31, Barbara Cameron and Norma Davidson presented an original program on Witches and Witchcraft, in a room attractively and suitably decorated for the occasion. An entertaining program took the form of a debate on this resolution: Deeper impressions are made on human beings through the eye than through the ear. The affirmative de- baters, Beth McEachern and Jennifer McQueen, were voted the victors by the club members, although Joyce Morris and Priscilla Rayner also put forth good arguments. At the last meeting before Christmas a play reading was given by Gaie Brock, Joyce Ben- ham and Sheila Young, introduced by Carol Ann Warner, of Chekhov's A Marriage Pro- posalf' The first program of 1947 was a very helpful review of Henry V, which Miss Turner gave so well. It was especially timely as Laurence Olivier's screen production had reached Winni- peg in early January. Robert Gard's book, Johnny Chinook. was informally reviewed by Margot Burton, who read excerpts from the authOr's collection of tall tales of Alberta. Janet Reid and Norma Davidson gave a very interesting review of a current movie, Holiday in Mexico, which was followed by a free dis- cussion. An enjoyable program on Robert FrOst's poetry by Gwen Roberts and Jennifer McQueen, brought to an end the varied programs of the year. On behalf of the Literary Society, I would like to express our sincerest thanks to our President, Miss Turner, who has led us in another successful year. We wish to express our thanks to all members for their loyal support and enthusiasm which has made this year so successful. MARGOT BURTON, CSecretaryD . Uhr Art Qlluh Due to the increasing efforts of our President, Mrs. Holland, Our Vice-President, Gwen Roberts, and the co-Operation of all the girls, the Art Club has again had a successful year. We had the hon-Or of having Miss Ella George, the Art Supervisor of Winnipeg, visit us and give a very interesting talk on some of the bases of art appreciation. Each meeting held throughout the year has opened with a small lunch supplied by two girls who have volunteered each time. Afterwards the girls have continued doing work in clay, leather, plastics, watercolor, pastels and char- coal and many other mediums. We hope the Art Club will continue to flourish and to be such a pleasure and help to the girls. All of us thank Mrs, Holland for sacrificing her valuable time to 'train us. AUDREY VAN SLYCK. CSecretary-Treasurer.J Singing This year volunteer senior singers have formed the Rupert's Land Choral Club under the careful supervision of Mr. Stanley Osborne. The girls voted Margot Burton their registrar, and Joyce Morris their librarian. Volunteer seniors sang in the choir at St. JOhn's Cathedral at the Commemoration on November 1. The club added a great deal to the Christmas Carol Service by singing two Christ- mas songs: O Nightingale, Awake and As Joseph Was A'Walking. The choir entered the Private School Choirs' Class at the Musical Festival this April and successfully retained the shield for this class with 83 marks in each selection. All the girls are most grateful to Mr. Osborne for the generous way he has given up his valu- able time to train them, and also thank Miss Davidson for accompanying them in the Fes- tival- GWEN ROBERTS. THE EAGLE Uhr Svahie Eamkiila' Eaurv Above the heads of the many dancers bounced bright, bobbing balloons and long multi-colored streamers, for it was November the eighth, the night of our Sadie Hawkins Dance. The wonderful music would be nearly drowned out by the shouts, screams and laughter of the couples, only to reappears again louder and more rhythmical. There were Bingo dances, Broom dances, Spot dances, and other novel- ties scattered throughout the evening, Mr. Kemp, a photographer, spent the evening flashing pictures of unsuspecting couples, the developments of which were found very funny. Many of the boys were adorned with novel and arresting corsages, some made up of cigarettes, others of flowers, fruit, cigars, and even a salad. The eatable ones gradually dwindled to nothing as the evening progressed. Then some hitherto unsuspected genius decided to adorn his partner with a paper streamer, and a balloon to pop. Mounting on the shoulders of a collaborator he grabbed at the network of balloons, which promptly collapsed, causing a major free-for-all below, which only two or three balloons survived. During the evening the crowd moved out to the corridor to refresh themselves with cokes. The dancing continued until twelve-thirty, when couple by couple reluctantly left for home, and the boarders and their escorts had a lunch in the dining-room. The dance was a success and enjoyed not only by ourselves but also by girls and boys of other schools. JUDY ADAMSON and SHANNON HALL. 34 RUP1-:RT's LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL Ihr Harivtg Svhnm On February 17 and 18 a very successful Variety Show was put on by the staff and pupils in the school Assembly Hall. A sum of 33150 was realized, which went toward the pur- chase of stage curtains and lighting equipment. The show was given a rousing opening by the precision drill of the Naval Review, which was directed by Miss H. Smith. The Junior Skit, Safety First, was the amusing incident of four spinsters cautiously crossing the railroad tracks with their young charge. Liz Patton and Beth McEachern capably directed this skit. A great variety of entertainment was supplied by the solo performers. Jane Wallace gave a delightul interpretation of a Tyrolean dance. Betty Cooper provided a picturesque touch to the show by her quaint costume and charming conception of peasant life by her song, My Johann. The audience was thrilled by the ecstasy of movement in the Flight of the Bumble Been by Rimsky-Korsakov, which was played by Lucille Smith. Eloise Green gave a very hilarious monologue, Betty at the Base- ball Gamef' which concerned the adventures of a high brow society girl at a baseball game. A radio play, entitled The Odyssey of Run- yon Jones, by Norman Corwin, was put on with great skill by Jennifer McQueen and Barbara Cameron. The sound effects were especially well done and this added to the success of the play. Susan de Lamater was especially good as Runyon Jonesf' Two numbers which were especially colorful and stirred the spirits of the audience were the Square Dance, directed by Audrey Van Slyck and Margaret Killick, and the Choral Group, directed by Gwen Roberts. In the former such a carefree atmosphere was created that many in the audience felt the urge to swing their part- ners, toog while in the latter all were thrilled by Oklahoma and Surrey with the Fringe on Top! One of the most effective numbers in the program was the series of tableaux, directed by Janet Reid and Joan Osterland. Famous scenes from Snow White, Cinderella, Aladdin's Lamp and other fairy tales which we read when we were younger, and which still hold our fancy, were portrayed. Sheila Young made a perfect Sleeping Beauty, while Jackie Langtry was a very startling Bluebeard. The Variety Show was successfully termi- nated by the staff play, World Without Men, directed by Miss Turner. Miss Speers took the lead, playing the part of Madam Pavel, the re- nowned scientist, who discovered a device which she thought would rid the world of the male sex. Other outstanding performers were Miss Newton as Millet, Madame Pavel's maid, Miss Bartlett as Mrs. Smith, and Miss Turner as Mrs. Jones. To the unbounded delight of the student body this brought to light the hitherto unsus- pected frivolous part of the teachers' make-up. However, all stage productions involve a great deal of back stage work that is not visible to the naked eye. In this connection Miss Turner de- serves our hearty thanks for her work in plan- ning and general supervision of the show. In addition to this we would also like to thank Miss Sharman for all her work, especially with the lighting, Miss Lucas for the printing of the tickets and prograrnsg Mary Tucker for her supervision of the ticket sales, and all others whose efforts were responsible for the success achieved.

THE EAGLE 35 Cfuihrii THE NINTH COMPANY At the beginning of the school year, the Ninth Company was without a leader, and it was not until December that Miss Peirson kindly step- ped in to fill the breach. An organizing meeting was held on the sixteenth of December, and the Ninth Company officially opened on January thirteenth, 1947. On February twenty-second, during Girl Guide, Boy Scout Week, a Silver Tea was held in the Kindergarten and drawing-room which were decorated with Guide colors. This tea was very successful in swelling the Company funds, as over S30 was raised. Of this amount S5 was given to our district, East Centre, while another S5 was given to the Guide House Build- ing Fund. The following day a Church Parade was held at Holy Trinity Church. We also attended a District Church Parade at the Salvation Army Citadel on Sunday, April 27. For our company inspection on March 31 a great deal of work was done on the patrol boxes, which were painted, and we received a new supply of charts and other equipment. The examiners were Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Girling, the District Commissioner. We have not yet heard the results, but hope to fare better than we did last year. During the Easter holidays the Guides helped prepare the entry for the Bessborough Shield Competition. This entry consisted of a bird house, which looked very rustic as it was of pine wood, and the plan of a wild flower gar- den suitable for the garden at Girl Guide House in Winnipeg, with a short description of each flower used. There has not been much badge work done this year, however, a great deal of second class work has been done, and three new Guides have been enrolled in the Company. On March 31, Priscilla Rayner was awarded her First Class badge and All Round Cord. We are looking forward to the big Rally, which will be held in the Amphitheatre on June 2. Guides from the North Company are taking part in the colorful pageant. Considering how short a time the Company has been in operation this year, it has been very successful. On behalf of the Company, I would like to thank Miss Peirson, Janet Cameron and Margaret Killick for their help and guidance. PRISCILLA RAYNER. Svnrial Swruirr This year, unfortunately, there has been little organized Red Cross work done by the girls, but more has been done in the way of helping people in the province itself. At Christmas we again collected toys, games, books, and children's clothing to be sent to the Indian children at Kamsack, and to those at Gillan, in the inter-lake district. Our biggest Red Cross effort this year has been the adoption of four children at the St. Boniface Sanitorium. On our first visit we distributed Valentine packages of candy to the forty-five children in the Annex and chose four to look after-Barnie, four years old, Louis and Agnes, five years old, and Barbara Best, four- teen. Letters were written to them and at Easter we took out quite a few toys and books to cheer them. Grades Seven, Ten, Eleven and Twelve sent Christmas parcels to families overseas. and the Grade Eleven Home Economics class has been sending parcels regularly all year. Grade Eight sent magazines to Miss Pierce, a nursing sister of Grove Park Hospital, to distribute among the patients, and other grades have sent magazines to the Red Cross Lodge at Deer Lodge Veterans Hospital. Grade eights also had a much needed Shoe Shine Week in aid of the Red Cross. Our two Red Cross representatives of the Junior Red Cross High School Council have kept closely in contact with Red Cross work, and visits were made to the Red Cross Lodge, and the Occupational and Physiotherapy wards at Deer Lodge. The school as a whole gave 57.50 to the Uni- versity Building Drive, and saved 39.75 in the Lenten boxes. The annual Mission Tea will be held on May 31. As usual we will send money to the Zenona Mission in India and the Sunday School by Post, but also this year we are going to send aid to two girls, Jumna, twelve, and Rosalind, nineteen, at the Girls' School in Kangra.

When we say home to a boarder, a far-away look comes into her eyes, and for a moment she leaves us and travels in thought to a spot unknown to us, but familiar and dear to her. We have asked some of these out-of-town girls to give us a glimpse of what home means to them, and they have written us these descriptions of Wawanesa, Melfort, Medicine Hat, Herb Lake and Foothills, Al- berta. We like the pictures they have drawn and hope that there will be an opportunity to reproduce others on another occasion. Pls ik if Lillian Briercliffe writes: Wawanesa, my home town, is situated thirty miles east of Bran- don, in the valley of the Souris river, with the Canadian National Railway and Num-ber Two highway running through it. Wawanesa, which means crooked river, is in the shape of a horseshoe, formed by the Souris river, which is Q X X5 4 Ai mir., X f - xr x fill' AX QW ,x i K , www H li W KW ' xx Xa KW- Nx' if . K.

On the north side of the town is a dam which holds back water for the use of the town, for swimming and fishing, and for the cattle and horses in the pastures which it runs through. By the dam is Roney's Park, a beauti- ful and comfortable place in the summer. As one drives through Wawanesa one passes the fine memorial to the soldiers of the First World War, which is surrounded by velvet lawns. Not far from the memorial stands the Cairn in honor of David Thompson, marking one of the places where he stopped during his ex- ploration to the Hudson Bay Trading Post. On the east hill of the Souris valley stands Wawa- nesa school which has boys and girls from grades one to twelve. Field days are held annually, taking place at three different towns in turn. Competing against one another in races and games, including softball, the children learn to take losses manfully, and to enjoy the honor of winning a shield or a cup. In conclusion, Wawanesa's population is kept sweet by the orchard and apiary at the east end of the town. as wk wk Shannon Hall writes: As you get off the train, Melfort, in Saskatchewan, 'appears to be an ordinary little town, with its long row of grain elevators and its Chinese cafe, but if you have some interested friend to show you around you will find it a thriving little hive of industry. Melfort, with a population of four thousand, situated in the heart of the Carrot River valley, in the north-eastern part of Saskatchewan, serves a large community of well-to-do farmers, it produces more than average for hogs and cattle and is also well advanced in mixed farming. Situated within the town are various indus- tries including an apiary, two hatcheries, a large co-operative creamery, a dairy pool, an oil re- finery and a frozen food plant which, although in its infancy, does a tremendous business. On the outskirts of Melfort there is an airport with a licensed commercial pilot and an in- structor. Overlooking a beautiful park is the Lady Minto Hospital of sixty-five beds, to which a wing is being added. As Melfort is a judicial centre, we have a resident judge, our courthouse, with its beautifully landscaped grounds, was built in 1928. I have given you a glimpse of Melfort, my home town, and I hope you like the picture. lk lk It Margot Burton writes about Medicine Hat, Alberta: The south window of our rambling ranch house affords the best view of Southern Alberta, the land of rolling hills. Looking to the south-west one gets the idea of a never- ending valley which is almost a reality. The valley, a mile wide and six miles long, is covered with brownish grass, although spoken of as green grass by the optimistic ranchers. If you were to ride up the.va1ley you would find it rather haunting even in broad daylight. Not one large tree brightens the landscape, only a few shrubs, a winding creek, and many large, jutting, sand-colored rocks. But a tree would break the spell, would it not? Snakes are regarded as horrible things, but THE EAGLE 39 not in this valley, for the rattlers always give their warning, which gives me an unforgettable thrill each time. The graceful, brown and white antelope. who have probably chosen the prairie for their home because they can scarcely be seen amid the dull brown, may often be seen in large herds roaming across the valley. When I look straight south from the window, numerous red buildings obstruct the view. A garage, granary, shop, and a barn surrounded with a sprawling corral, are the main features, although the forty foot steel structure of the wind charger always has intrigued me. If you turn your eyes eastward you realize you are not alone in the vast prairie, for you see a highway about a mile in the distance with roaring trucks and cars, and one small farm. No, the prairie, although bare and remote to some people, is friendly, spacious, and ex- citing to me, the home of thousands of cattle and horses. But I must stop at horses for it is the view I am attemtping to describe, not the ani- mals! :lf Sk if Beth Hale describes realistically and pic- turesquely an unexpected trip from Hale's Landing over Herb Lake: The time, ten o'clock in the morning, the place, Hale's Landing-the situation, I was out in the front yard making a half-hearted attempt at cleaning the rugs. Everything was under most boring control. The next moment the wind-blown rug was yanked from my extended arms and acute shock threw my body into a mixture of rough ice and oily water. A horn announced the arrival of Bomber Bill and his Bombaru Ca snowmobileb. Making a desperate effort at pulling together my body, nerves, and temper, I was greeted by, Could we interest you in a ride? Drawing up all the sarcasm at my command, I answered, f'Cer- tainlyf' Twenty minutes later we were in Herb Lake. I was in the midst of a most enjoyable afternoon when I was startled by the whir of an airplane. Andy landed at the dock in front of the house. Jump in, he shouted. Twin motors roared. We circled over the town twice and then pro- ceeded home. The weather was exceptionally clear and thus we flew very low so that I might get a view of my entire homeland in one glance. Never have I seen more beautiful landscape- an artist's haven. Water, occupying most of the scene, was surrounded by dark green spruce trees as far as the eye could see-some ten miles in every direction. The lake shore per- fectly balanced the picture with its continuous fifty-foot orange-colored cliffs. Ten minutes, and sight of home. The thrill of the ride came as Andy was about to land. Banking at approximately forty-five degrees. he cut the motor. We came down low and then he pulled the throttle and the army plane roared upwards. Unwillingly, I came down to earth. Thus, by two different manners, I crossed Herb Lake the quickest I have in ten years. Modern travel has diminished the time from one hour to ten or twenty minutes. if 31 :ii Joyce Morris gives us this picture of Foothills, Alberta: A conglomeration of tall buildings, garnished with smoking chimneys, hissing puffs of steam and sparks shooting out from the welders is the first thing I see when I stand at the kitchen window performing some menial task at the sink. For a few minutes the busy scene is fascinating. I try to guess the identity of the unrecognizably black figures who come and go among the shifting box cars, but it is an almost hopeless task. However, after a few moments, unless one is a complete stranger to a mining town, the scene palls, for the black smoke looms tiresomely against the sun and the busy-ness soon makes one tired by the mere contemplation of it. So I look beyond, across the never-ending evergreen to the Rockies, shadowy in the dis- Q? tance. In the fall this mass of green is punc- tuated by yellow patches of poplar or muskeg that remind one of dandelions on an otherwise unbroken lawn. This lawn, too, has its animals, but here the gopher of the prairies or mole of eastern quarters, is supplanted by the grizzly bear, which occasionally wanders into town in the spring, searching for garbage delicacies. Or, perhaps, under the smooth exterior of the forest you might encounter, on a walk in the woods, two or three elk, at rare intervals a moose, and if you go near the tiny rivers you will surely see a beaver dam and a fish jump. Other animals afford a living for the trappers whose cabins are scattered far into the forest 40 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL i , , 9-I fa V. .

Abundant coal mines, burrowing into the soil. remind us of those moles mentioned earlier. Everywhere I look I see a land of hidden wealth waiting for civilization to take its course. THE TURTLE Last summer, mother and I went to the pet store. We saw some turtles. These turtles were decorated with red, blue, and white paint. Mummy said that I could buy one, so I chose a friendly one, painted white, with red and blue stripes. When we reached home I put him in a bowl with a bit of sand and water. I then hurried to Grandpa's store and got a box of turtle's food, and ran home. While I was feeding him I named him Timmy. Timmy did not seem happy though, because he kept trying to crawl up the bowl and seemed to say, Please take me out. I took him out S J j ' sv 223 J si- Nik, PHYLLIS E. ERWIN.

When winter came, he sleepily slipped under a tunnel which I had made, and has been sleep- ing on and off ever since. When I go home for week-ends I run to see Timmy. He seems to know that I am there, because when I call him he opens one wee eye and yawns and shows his pretty pink tongue. I get so lonesome for Timmy. This is March the eleventh so he should waking up, because spring will soon be here. CAROL ANNE BATE, CGrade ID. IN CHICAGO When I was five my mother and I went to the Chicago Zoo. We saw all kinds of animals, but the ones I liked best of all were the kangaroos and the giraffes. There was ia mother kangaroo and her baby. It was fast asleep in its little bed. All you could see were its little ears, and part of its head. The boys around called so loudly that the baby popped up its head, but would not come out of its mummy's pouch. The baby seemed so happy and the mummy seemed so proud of her baby, and was not a bit frightened. The giraffes had long necks and their din- . 5 p -I 1' gi I I 'Q fi I ix , K, L ' ' Hoes -rr-re. r.:-r'rv.,s mos-xrvs ARE 5'l'lLL'fl'xE-C31 ' :gn-c..i.m 42 RUP1-:RT's LAN D GIRLS, SCHOOL ners were put into baskets and then hung on trees, high for the father and mother and low for the baby giraffe.

Mum says, Let's have a picnic. Hurrah, we all cry. Garry, my brother, gets the black dog, Topsy, and together they go to the boat to get the oars and the engine ready. Daddy helps them. Mummy and I make sandwiches, get the drinks, and pack the picnic basket. We get the coats and take the food, and away we go in the boat to an island. We like to have our tea under the shade of a big pine tree by the water. We watch for fish jumping and for the mummy ducks with a trail of babies. We like to see the shadows of the trees in the water. Then we go home to bed. We all love a picnic, even Topsy. JANE SAVAGE, CGrade III? .

He is quite an amusing young thing, only three years old last July, but as strong as I am. He has quite a knack for telling amusing fairy stories, too. 44 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL Some of his stories go something like this: Once I walk down Point Road and I haw this slight baby talkb a cow an' she jump over the moon. Or I know a mice with a white tail, red head, and a green body. Billy's favorite record is 'fPeter and the Wolf Cfor the younger peopleb, and very often he acts the story, calling in the rest of the family for the other characters. He is always Peter, and Cherry, our dog, is the wolf. We think he will either develop into an author or a clown. As he sits now with his head in his hands, Mummy says, HQuiet! Genius at work. PAT BENHAM, CGrade IVD. MY DOG, BENNY My dog's name is Benny. The color of his fur is black and brown. His fur keeps him warm in the winter time. Benny enjoys himself all day long. In the morning he waits for Joe, one of our hired men, 177 , gg l to come and start the caterpillar to go to the field. While Joe is starting the tractor, Benny leaps and barks. How he likes to go to the field! In the field he likes to chase gophers and rabbits and sometimes wolves. When he gets tired, he trots back to the tractor and jumps into the seat with Joe. At night he likes to sleep beside the tractor, and guards it. He likes someone to throw sticks so that he can run to get them for you. He is a very nice pal to play with. ELAINE CASTLE, tGrade IVJ. THE HORSES RESCUE It was a day in early June and we were sitting on the porch of a big ranch. We had not been sitting there long when we heard the sound of a horse coming toward us. It was carrying a cowboy, who came up to us and said, Mr. Skin- ner's horse got stuck in a ditch when I was going to the ranch. Please come to help him out. We went and saddled our horses, and when we got there we found he was very deep down. We managed to get a strap around him and attached the other end to one of our horses and the horse pulled. We had brought some blan- kets and soon the horse was able to get up. The cowboy thanked us and we went home. GLEN MURRAY, CGrade VD . THE DREAMBOAT One night I was telling my mother that I had never had a nightmare. I said that I wished there was a dreamboat that I could ask for a nightmare on. When I went to bed that night, the fairies came and took me to a dreamboat. I went to the information desk and I asked where I could find a nightmare. A nightmare! the girl exclaimed. Yes, I have never had a nightmare so I would like to have one. 'tOh, said the girl, we keep them in cages so they won't scare anybody. Do you sell them? I asked. We will give you one gladly, said the girl. She took me to the cages where the night- mares were kept, and what horrifying sights they were! Some were like bears, some were like alligators, and others were a mixture of both. She gave me one and called the fairies to take me home. The next morning the night- mare was gone. I decided that I didn't want another nightmare. BEVERLEY AIRD, CGrade VID.

It is falling on the house-tops And on the farmer's crops. It falls on all the trees As well as on the ships upon the seas. The sound goes a pitter-patter As the drops get fatter. JUDY PATTON, CGrade VID . HAWAIIAN ISLANDS The Hawaiian Islands were very, very beauti- ful. I think from what I saw in the picture show they might even have been the most beautiful islands in the world. After the bombing of Pearl Harbour the islands were very badly destroyed, but their memories will always remain in the hearts of the people. Many people's minds go back to the beautiful sea with its lovely beach and tall palm trees. Many sports were taking place in the wild waters on this particular windy day, while other people were lying on the beach. Some girls preferred the cool quiet waters with their surfboards. Others liked sliding down the slopes in watery, dirty ditches especially made for the sport. Some of the boys of the Hawaiian country can stay under water for five minutes, and so their sport is going beneath the rough waters, catching some of the beautiful fish, such as the sergeant, which is white with blue stripes, and other tropical fish of various colors. An- other sea-diving sport is catching octopuses. They are quite hard to catch, but it seems easy to the boys.

Near the interior of one of the larger islands is a large Volcano. It doesn't erupt very often, but when it does the orange-colored lava rolls down the mountains in thick boiling liquid. From a distance the lava rolling down the mountains looks like a map with orange arrows darting out all around it. The people of Hawaii are very industrious. Many of them are sugar cane farmers, and are pineapple growers. When the day is over and the night is here everything is usually quiet. The sea is calm, the lovely tall palm trees look down, and the moon's rays shine on the dark quiet waters. And so Hawaiian memories close on the end of a beautiful day. DONNA SMITH, CGrade VID . AN'N,S REWARD Her sombre eyes looked up at his and found there some of the comfort they needed. John, this brother of hers, this brother she had learned to love, was leaving her. How could she bear it? He had always acted as a father to her, for her own father was far away in France serving the government. John was the rector of a small Anglican church in southern England, and for the last twelve years she and he had lived at the rec- tory alone, except for the housekeeper. and haughty Aunt Katherine. Until she was three her parents, too, had lived with her, but when her mother died, he father went abroad, leaving her under the care of her older brother. Her life had been a fairly happy one, for John had acquired an extremely fine understanding of young people, and had lavished upon her the love and care he knew she wanted. Although he was only thirty-five now, she respected him, THE EAGLE 49 -Photo by Harold White GRADE VIII Back Row: Phyllis Oretzski, Cynthia Clarke, Geraldine Schoepp. Patricia Copley, Pamela Garton.

But now John, too, was leaving her, and the six-month separation that stretched before them seemed almost an eternity to Ann, as a period of that length usually does to a girl of fifteen. Even the coming summer vacation, which she had previously longed for, held no pleasure any more. Now as she stood on the rustic platform. she could see the train come slowly around the bend, slow down, and gently stop at the small station. Desperately she clutched her brother's hand, as if to hold him back, but realized the futility of this motion. John bent down and kissed her good-bye, and in his calm, gentle voice, he whispered, '6Ann, I'm going now, but when I'm gone, keep your chin up and don't be discouraged. Remember, God will be with us both, and bring me back to you shortly. He stepped onto the train, waved another kiss to her, and was gone. Ann turned slowly around, the tears Welling up in her eyes. The day was really beautiful, with fleecy white clouds dotting the blue sky, and rolling green slopes leading down to the river. However, all this had no effect on Ann, and with much dampened spirits she walked slowly back to the car. She sat down in the back seat, and Aunt Katherine, who was in the front, remarked curtly. i'My, you might appear more cheerful, might you not?,' Sorry, said Ann, although she didn't really mean it. How much she would like to break down and cry now. However, she controlled her emotions, and when she arrived home she went directly to her bedroom. Sitting in a low chair by the window, in front of her dresser, she studied herself in the mirror. Her hair was of a lovely golden shade, hanging in long waves and curls halfway down her back, while her large blue eyes, overshadowed by slightly curled eyelashes, were well set beneath her broad forehead. Her nose turned up slightly, but the deep red lips, pearly white teeth. and 50 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL fine complexion made up for that. All about this trim little figure honesty and neatness were very evident. As she looked at herself once more, she re- membered how John had always taught her to make the best of things, keep a cheerful face, and lead a truthful life. Now, with this thought in mind she resolved to do her best to act the way John would want her to do. Throughout the next four months her brave resolution lasted. One day in the middle of September, when Ann was returning from the clubhouse, with her tennis racquet in one hand, and a cheerful expression on her face, she was spotted from behind the rose garden by a kindly looking man who was having tea with her Aunt Katherine. This man had white wavy hair, neatly parted and well brushed. His clear blue eyes bore a great resemblance to Ann's, while the trim figure in its grey suit had the same easy grace and poise. Around his lips a faint smile could be seen, perhaps a smile of pride as he saw this sweet, unspoiled child proceed toward him, up the gravel path of her beautiful home. As yet she had not noticed him, but as he stepped from the flowers she recognized him instantly. Ann sped toward him, throwing her arms about his neck, for this mian was no other than her dear father. As father and daughter were reunited again, it was with great joy that they linked arms and strolled down to the little stream to enjoy an afternoon of pleasant talk. And as Mr. Lindsey looked at his young daughter he wondered vainly how he had ever separated himself from her for so long. Ann, too, was completely happy, for she had her father back with her, and John would be home soon, After all, for what more could a girl ask? BETTY MUIR, CGrade VIIIJ. OUR WINNIPEG ELECTRIC COMPANY, OR GOING HOME THE ACADEMY WAY As you make your way joyfully out of the school, the trip before you is forgotten. You are walking slowly and peacefully, leisurely placing one foot before the other. Suddenly the unmistakable rumble of iron wheels on tracks can be plainly heard. You immediately dart forward, running as fast as can be expected with an overflowing armful of books and a rattling lunch can. Halfway to the corner that horrible lunch can decides to be adventurous and fly into the deepest drift. You stop and try with a handful of thumbs to pick it up. Who greased that can, anyhow? You fumble with it and drop it. It slides down the drift onto the sidewalk, and as you stoop to pick it up your foot kicks it few feet forward. Ah! At last you have it! You hook it over your arm and run on. The street car has passed from your view but you know it is still parked at the stop. If you can only make it! .As you dart onto the street you gasp with relief as you note the long line of girls still waiting to get on. You take your place at the end and wait. Soon you are climbing up the steps, and as you do so, realize your tickets are tucked away in your wallet somewhere. By the time you've ,found your ticket and received a transfer from the bored conductor, you are almost at Osborne Street. Looking out the front window, you watch with dismay an Academy Road street car, No. 35, placidly turning in the opposite direction. Once across the street and propped up against a fence rail, you watch the wrong street cars go by. When the right one finally comes, and and you have deposited your rather worn chewed transfer in the conductor's hands, you glance about you. About a dozen men are sitting down along ,, JL.

The car is jammed full, and although you cannot reach a strap or a rail, it is almost impossible to fall. The man beside you suddenly realizes it is his stop, and as he pushes past you, knocks your beret off. A prefect down, the car looks meaningly at you, and you hurriedly jam your hat on top of your head. As the car clears, you see a seat about two yards away. Glancing about and seeing no women standing, you start to make your way toward it. Upon arriving you find it is occupied once more. However, the girl sitting in it kindly offers to hold your books. Just as you have them settled on her lap you see a seat down further. Gathering your books up once more you wearily sit down, only to find as you look out the window the street car is bearing down upon your stop. Jumping up, your garter breaks and your stocking slowly descends. Your books balanced precariously on one arm you hastily fix the damage. As you stumble down the steps of the back exit, you realize joyfully that the painful and harrowing journey is over for one more day. DALE Ross, CGrade IXD. RICHARD When my little brother, Richard, was born, I somewhat dreaded the idea of all the work it was going to cause. To my great surprise, I find myself enjoying it, although it is hectic. For the first few weeks I hadn't much to do with him, but gradually he became the centre of attraction. As a tiny baby, Richard was very strong, but through a misunderstanding between doctor's formula and baby's stomach, he became quite ill. At the age of six months we put him 52 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, ScHooL on a new and better formula, and he began to gain weight. At eight months he had regained his strength and was able to sit up. We thought we were glad, but since then we have changed our minds. Richard is the most destructive demon I ever ran across. He began his career, that of de- struction and michief, by eating and digesting six leaves, four inches by two inches, off our rubber plant. This gave him renewed bounce, The next thing he accomplished was the total wreck of his carriage, and we decided to put him in his playpen. This by now is in ruination, and the livingroom will never be the same again, for he threw his toys all over Once he got in the playpen, he tore the floor up, and we had to have a carpenter in to fix it. kitchen. Then we moved the playpen to the This proved to be a bad mistake, as Richard hitched over to the stove, got into the fuse box, into the oven, and turned the elements on. Then we tried tying it with a rope to the radiator, but this didn't work either for he shook it apart, and it is now being held together by string. He has ruined his crib also, and instead of having 900 angles at the corners, it has some angles of 1000 and some of 800. He does this by shaking it, and it sounds like thunder from downstairs. When my father is home for lunch at noon, he spends all his time running up and down stairs with the hairbrush, and afterwards he needs a rest. When Richard's playpen fell apart we didn't know what to do with him, as he can't be left alone for any time at all. Ever since the new song came out he has been able to open doors all the time. Mother finally got a solution. She put his crib in a room bare of everything and bought a six-foot gate for the door. Richard, twenty-one months old, is the worst flirt with girls I ever knew. He has already begun to whistle! BETTY STEVENSON, CGrade IXJ . .TOLLY GOOD DENTIST, 'E IS! Every six months I undergo an experience which makes me miserable for the rest of the year. I am made miserable by dreading the next occasion, and by reminiscing concerning the experience past. By now you have probably guessed what this dreaded occasion is. Nothing could be more full of torture, or more provoking of evil schemes to do away with men of a cer- tain profession. These inhuman, pain-inflicting creatures whom I speak of are-Dentists! CSome people love their dentists. These are either the dentists' wives or fools. The same thing. Who would marry a dentist?J When I have a dental appointment in the offing, my parents take care to break the news to me as gently as possible, lest I do something drastic. And so it happens, after a dinner of my favorite stew to put me into a good humor. I am told quite casually, Oh, by the way, you have an appointment with the dentist next Saturday at eleven. When I have recovered from the shock, I solemnly resolve to brush my teeth at least four times a day, and to drink a quart of milk every twenty-four hours. If a record were kept, there would be a noticeable rise in our milk bill every six months. Between the frequent brushings and glasses of milk, I shake in my shoes at the approach of Saturday. When I awake on the fatal morning, I am engulfed in a sea of depression. I have to rise and dress, brush my teeth, and go to meet my doom. The worst of it is, I can do nothing about it. Suicide would be stupid as some day I shall be free of dentists, and if there is a purgatory, for me it would b-e full of dentists. I would drink myself into a stupor, if I could lay my hands on the liquor. Perhaps I wouldn't, when I come to think of it. The stuff tastes horrible anyway, and I've heard that it takes a good deal before you lose your senses. All hopes gone, I enter the ante room of the chamber of horrors. I am the only one waiting. Slowly I remove my coat and slump drown in a chair, head on hands. Gradually I right myself and look about. Gay pictures adorn the gray walls, perhaps to cheer the victims and reconcile them to their fates. I am' neither cheered nor reconciled. I amuse myself by dreaming of horrible deaths and tortures which to pay den- tists for their cruelty. My favorite super-de- luxe waiting-room dream fthe details are too gruesome and too revealing of that other side of my character to be discussed hereb, is inter- rupted by cries for mercy coming from that inner room. This snaps me out of my cruel, gloating dream, and I begin to tremble violently. Soon a pale faced survivor appears at the door. He looks so weak that I expect him to collapse at any mom-ent. When I ask, Did he hurt you? the poor man replies with all the energy left in him: Oh, no, not at all. Jolly good dentist, 'e is! As this poor, brave chap goes out, I hear a thud, and imagine that he has gone to his reward. THE EAGLE 53 I have no time to investigate, for there, in the doorway, stands the devil himself. With a leering face, and rubbing his hands together gleefully, he beckons to me. I follow, as if sleep-walking, my eyes fixed, and my body moving mechanically. When the door is safely shut, a mad gleam comes into his eyes. He slams me into the chair, grabs the drill, and with a hoarse, cruel voice he utters that awful, yet inevitable, word. acopenlu For the next three-quarters of an hour I know nothing? The pain knocks me limp,and my mind is drained of all emotion. When the drill- ing is done, I think that the worst is over. Ah, well! ignorance is bliss. I am only in ignorance for a moment, however. Then that unfeeling creature produces complicated gadgets from his cabinet and begins to cram them into my mouth. The object seems to be to find out how much my mouth will hold without bursting? Perhaps at the Dentists' convention' he boasts of how much he can stuff into a victim's mouth. If there is a prize I am sure that my dentist will win it, for he must have broken all previous records when he began on me. Then I will be able to slay that my Dentist holds the National Title Chief Mouth Crammer of 1947 CAlarumJ. If he keeps all the glory to himself I think he is a very selfish man, for after all, it's I who have the big mouth? To resume, when he has broken his record, he begins to extract things, slowly, one by one. This in- volves a delicate technique, and also prolongs the torture. I know that he is finished when he utters that word which is music to my ears. aaspitja Then I stagger weakly out of the office, a paler survivor than the last. The next victim nervously questions: Did he hurt you? I am only human, and entitled to my fibs, so I reply: Oh, no, not at all. Jolly good dentist, 'e is.

The Lady, or the Tiger? by Frank Stockton, is the story of a barbaric king and his no less barbaric daughter who was secretly courted by a young man of no great rank. When the king discovered the daring courtship he became very angry and consigned the lover to prison while he awaited his trial. The king's place of administering justice was a great arena, surrounded by seats of spectators, and having two doors opening into it. One door concealed a ferocious tiger, the other, a beautiful lady. The accused was placed in the arena. and sealed his own fate instantly by being imme- Lois YOUNG. diately devoured by the tiger, or married to the lady, according to his choice of the right door, the secret of which was known to the king alone. The princess faced the situation of being de- prived of her lover, either by his violent death, or by his instant marriage to another. Stockton tells us that she discovered from the tiger keeper the secret of the doors, and then the question arises: Would her love or her jealousy be the stronger? At the critical moment she signalled to her lover in the arena to open the right-hand door, most tantalizingly Stockton refuses to tell us what happened next. but closes his story with the statement: The question of her decision is one not to be lightly considered, and it is not for me to pre- sume to set myself up as the one person able to answer it. And so I leave it to all of you: Which came out of the opened door-the lady, or the tiger? 54 RUPERTJS LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL -Photo by Harold White GRADE X Back Rowi Elaine Tempest, Rosalind Johnson, Judy Adamson.

The Grade Ten girls, however, refused to leave the ending inconclusive: they felt that the barbaric princess was wilful and powerful enough to match her wits against those of her father. Perhaps she decided to save her lover temporarily, only to claim him for herself later. Here is an account of what may have happened, as revealed by the tiger-keeper, the hand- maiden, the lover and the princess herself: The Tiger-Keepers Story I was the tiger-keeper, and because of this I know who came out from the door which the lover opened. The morning before the event in the arena, I had a caller-the princess. She seemed much excited, and offered me a bribe to reveal the secret of the doors. Now I and her hand-maiden had long wished to marry, but lacked money. Being tempted by the bribe, I told her that the door at the left concealed the tiger, the door at the right concealed the lady. In the afternoon, while the spectators were waiting in great excitement, the lover strode into the arena, paused to look at the princess, who made a slight gesture, then quickly opened the door on the right. Out came a lovely lady whom the lover greeted warmly. The spectators shouted and cheered, and the two were in- stantly married, according to the tradition of the arena. ' One day, the hand-maiden told me that she was accompanying the princess on a visit to the newly-married couple, and shortly after, my sweetheart returned with the news that the young wife had been poisoned-how, I never quite made out. With the money received as ra bribe from the princess, the hand-maiden and I were married, and at her urgent request we both left the country. I no longer wished to continue working as a tiger-keeper, and both of us were afraid of being further entangled in the affairs of such a dangerous person as the princess. The Han d-Maidevfs Story I sat beside my mistress, the princess, trembling as her young lover approached the arena doors. Without hesitating he opened the right-hand door, and out darted a radiant lady. I hardly know whether my mistress was re- lieved or sad, so cleverly did she conceal her feelings. All went well for a short time, the princess, to my surprise, being quite friendly towards the young couple. I thought this very strange, for I knew her to be extremely jealous, and my curiosity was aroused. I bombarded the tiger- THE EAGLE 55 keeper, who was my lover, with questions, and at last dragged from him the truth that he had been bribed into disclosing to the princess the secret of the doors. The princess sensed that I knew this, and took me into her confidence, re- vealing to me her plan for regaining her lover. Very soon we paid a visit to the young couple, taking with us a rich gift of jewels and wine. Concealed in the cork of one of the wine bottles was a deadly poison which I was to put into the .glass of the young wife. I disliked the task extremely, and at first protested, but finally agreed to carry it out, for I both loved and feared my mistress greatly. When the lady had died a violent death we returned to the palace, and although n-o sus- picion fell on me, I hastened to my lover, the tiger-keeper, and persuaded him that for our own safety we should get married and leave the country. This we did, and I have never dared to reveal to him my part in this strange story, nor have I ever heard how the princess's plans developed for her recovery of her former lover. The Loverls Story I am certainly in a position to explain matters to you, for I am the lover. You will recollect that the princess had motioned with her head towards the right door. I had been expecting a sign, for I never doubted that the princess would save my life. We had planned that although I must marry the un- known lady who would appear through the door if I chose rightly, yet after the marriage some accident would carry her off, and then the princess and I would elope. What was my sur- prise, however, when there emerged a beautiful girl whom I had known and loved before I met the princess! Instantly I knew that I could play no part in causing her death. One day the princess visited us and presented us with a bottle of rare wine which she re- quested her hand-maiden to serve. A glass was handed to my wife who tasted it, and instantly collapsed. Within ra few hours my lovely bride was dead, and I had no doubt at whose door to lay her death. There followed a dreadful scene between the princess and myself, for I threatened to de- nounce her as a murderess, and she threatened to hand me over to experience a second time the justice of the king. That is the situation at the moment, and what will be the next de- velopment, I can only await with apprehension. The Princessis Story From the beginning everything has gone against me. First, my father thwarted my choice of a husband, because my lover was of lowly birth: then when I had ingeniously dis- covered a way of saving his life in the arena, an unexpected obstacle appeared. I had counted on some ugly, coarse woman emerging from the right-hand door-one who would be such a contrast to myself that my lover would gladly carry out our joint plan of doing away with her, so that he might return to me. To my horror there appeared an attractive girl whom I had seen around the palace before, and whom, in fact, I had caught my lover talking to on more than one occasion. How I wished that I had consigned him to the tiger! But it was too late, and masking my feelings as well as I could, I joined in the general rejoicings which accom- panied the marriage in the arena. I could not believe, however, that my lover would be happy with anyone but myself, and with the help of my devoted hand-maiden, I contrived to poison my hated rival, feeling sure that my lover would return to me when she was dead. He has defied me, however, and insists that his love is only for his dead wife. But I am accustomed to having my own way, and we shall see!

PREPARING FOR YOUR FIRST FORMAL Going to your first formal is so exciting that I feel I must prepare all those for their big event. Those who haven't had the pleasure, that it. You come home from school at four-thirty with the feeling that you will never be ready by eight o'clock, the appointed time that your escort will call for you. I believe the best way to get rid of those butterflies in your stomach is to have a bath. But it stands to reason you can't sit in the tub during the preparing stage, so before relaxing, curl your hair, if necessary, especially those front pieces because they al- ways seem to go straight before the rest of your hair. Other before-hand jobs are to put out your clothes on your bed-clean everything -and press your dress. It's a good idea to press a hair-band, too, in case something goes wrong and you have to let your shining hair fall down your back. Doing these jobs saves rushing around later, 56 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL and you and your mother avoid a nervous break-down. Oh, yes. I want to bring in a point, re mother.

FAREWELL TO THE GRADUATES Although the end of the school year is a moment of importance to all at school, it does seem to belong particularly to the girls in Grades XII and XI who are leaving R. L. S. for wider fields. Many relatives and friends are entertaining for them, and this calendar of events gives some idea of the celebrations which are taking place during the next few weeks: On Saturday, May 18, Mrs, C, H. P. Killick is entertaining at luncheon for Grade XII, at the University Women's Club. The School Council is having a breakfast hike to Fort Whyte at eight o'clock on June 1. The same day Mrs. John Rayner is entertain- ing at Tea in honour of Priscilla, C The girls of Grade X are giving a breakfast party at the home of Carol Ann Warner, on June 7, in honour of the graduates. That afternoon the Alumnae Association is entertaining for the graduates at the home of Mrs. Phipps Baker. Mrs. A. M. Patton and Mrs. John McEachern are entertaining at Tea on June 8. Mrs. P. B. Tucker is giving a Coffee Party on June 10. Both Grade XI and Grade XII are planning class dinners to take place on June 11. The real finale is, of course, Graduation on Friday, June 13, on which occasion President Trueman of the University of Manitoba is to be the guest speaker. Following these Closing Exercises which are being held in the Concert Hall of the Civic Auditorium, there will be a Reception for parents and friends at the school, and finally a dance for the graduates. We know that the whole evening will be a fitting and happy climax to the school year.

May he be delighted rather than angered at any playfulness I might show Ito- wards him such as nudging him when he is busy, an occasional buck when I have had a few extra oats, unlatching the latch to my stall, making it necessary for him to stop work and fasten it with a chain. My last wish is that when my useful days are done my master will take my life, rather than turn me loose into the wintered fields to fend for myself, or sell me to be worked to death. For I serve him as faithfully and as conscien- tiously 'as I can, and he would be serving me if he would fulfil that, my last request. If my master answers this prayer he will be rewarded. Amen. ELIZABETH PATTON, CGrade XID THE NIGHT EXCURSION The lone white moon travelling across the sky on its nightly journey showed, with its ghostly rays, a large herd of buffalo crossing a large northern lake. The silvery, sparkling crystals of snow crunched noisily under the feet of the huge beasts. On their way they en- countered mountains of ice rising from the deep. Some of these upheavals, many more than fifteen feet in height, were crystal clear blue in 58 RUPERT's LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL the moonlight, and cast dark shadows in their paths. Gradually the night passed, and the sky became a little lighter as the stars slowly twinkled out of view and the moon sank farther and farther down its long avenue. The army of animals continued their long march without rest, plodding forward towards their goal which now could be seen in the distance. The sky became lighter and lighter in the east as the stars completely withdrew from the sky. Finally, as the sun's first golden fingers broke through between the trees of the densely wooded forest and the early morning mist to the lakeshore, the leader of the army set his foot on the shore. The goal was reached. These huge animals of the north had accomplished their purpose of reaching the shore before the day, to start the next lap of their trip overland. ELOISE GREEN CGrade XI.D ON GOLF Swish-swoosh! The business-like swinging of golf clubs all up and down the street an- nounces the fact that spring is here to stay, and all ardent golf fans eagerly practise their swings in anticipation of the coming season. To the casual observer, playing golf seems like a very silly way to pass time, but I am constantly being informed that this is not so. Golf resembles hockey, instead of a puck a small white ball is used, which has the amazing property of being able to disappear completely, and the club that's used is a miniature hockey stick Calthough authorities on the subject have said that if a hockey stick were used there would be more future in the gamej. The object of the game is to walk around a five or six mile course, hitting the little ball along with you, allowing it to fall into nine little cups, as you go along. These little cups are conveniently located at intervals behind trees, sand pits, or corners. The club is grasped firmly in both hands, swung back swiftly, and swung down towards the ball with full strength. The chances are ten to one that either the ball is missed al- together, or, with a convulsive shudder, it wiggles off the little tee, and bounces a few agonized inches. This counts as one strike. This is good, as the idea is to see who can get the most strokes. When played with others, this game proves to be most instructional, and increases one's vocabulary tremendously, as well as providing exercise. When a ball becomes embedded in a sand pit, which occurs frequently even to the best of us, there is only one sure Way of getting it out. However, many people still rely on sorcery, that is, they swing their club, miss the ball, and then in a very loud voice yell out a great many magic words, intended to charm the ball. I have never seen this work, although each time the ball is missed the words increase in number and volume. However, I put my trust in the good old-fashioned method of lifting the ball from the pit, laying it on the grass, and counting it as one stroke. What could be more restful on a steaming hot August day than do trudge around a golf course, weighted down by a heavy golf bag which gains weight at every step? What sport equals this in excitement, danger, and thrills? For indeed this is a very dangerous and exciting sport. Suspense is added because it is impossible to tell when the person behind you will forget to yell Fore, and you will be knocked on the head by a little white ball. This is just another one of the attractions of this stimulating and exciting sport. BETH MCEACHERN CGrade XIJ af , 229 fi' x NBC C Cf ,- I 81 ,Lfulls lvkns.elF.i'af:h1LeriL.. THE EAGLE 59 Svhnrt Surry sinh lgnrtrg Qlnmprtiiinua This year, there were no entries for the Senior Poetry Competition, but a small though suf- ficient number for the Junior. On the other hand, while seven seniors contributed short stories, there was no Junior Competition. Mr, George Brodersen, Associate Director of the Everyman Theatre, Vancouver, most kindly consented to judge the entries. We are most grateful to him for sparing some of his valuable time. His competent adjudication and construc- tive criticisms are of great value to all those connected with the competitions. Mr. Broder- sen writes: The level, particularly of the stories, seems to me high, and the winning one, in my opinion, is remarkably mature. All of the stories have a sense of form, and all make an effort to say something definite, and to create clear and easily recognized characters. The following awards are made: JUNIOR POEM 1. Gail Florance: O Life, How False Thou Art. 2. Gail Florance: Beauty. SENIOR POEM No entries. JUNIOR STORY No competition. SENIOR STORY 1. Jennifer McQueen: Daphne 2. Joyce Morris: The Underdog. Honorable mention: Barbara Cameron: The Finale. O LIFE ! CFirst Prize, Junior Poem, O Life, how false thou art, How grievously false. Thou who to a child's calm heart, Untouched by shadows of the outer air, Dost promise things of splendour, sweet And very fair- So seldom do these joyous hours Of promised bowers Make up -.and meet For those eternities of sorrow Which man must greet. It is said that wisdom comes with age, But Oh! great life, Might I go back a page And look on thee with child-like eyes, And, as a child, look smilingly Upon your tumbling, seething sea, And wish for age- And wisdom! GAIL FLORANCE CGrade lX.J CThe balance and general handling of this make it your best effortj BEAUTY fSecond Place, Junior Poemj Among the clashing world, Alone, and quite apart, Stands beauty Clinging to the human heart. This innate sense alone Stirs longing in the soul. And, of all others, keeps a mind Groping for the highest goal. GAIL FLORANCE CGrade lX.J CDO you feel happy about your first word in this? I clOn't. Apart from that it is good- simple, direct, precise. If you haven't come across him already, get hold of the verse of A. E. Housman. You will find an even greater control of simplicity which says a great deal at the same time, which will, I think, appeal to you.D DAPHNE CFirst Prize, Senior Storyb Daphne lay on the cool, fresh grass of the sun-speckled Ontario woods and watched the dark green, almost black pines wave across the patches of blue sky above her. The soft lap of the calm lake, as it licked against the rocky shore, became a musical background to the words she began to read from a little. red leather book: No echoes of the world afar Disturb it night or day, But sun and shadow, moon and star Pass and repass for aye. 60 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL 'fFrederick Scott was thinking of 'The Un- named Lake' when he wrote this, but it applies to my little spot here, thought Daphne. This glen was her retreat, where she shut herself away from daily life, where no taunts of her brothers could reach her, where she could re- member the happy days before her father was killed at Dieppe, and where she could dream and plan as most young girls love to do. But Daphne's favorite form of retreat was found inside her father's book of Canadian poetry, where each day she lost herself in well- worn pages of lilting magic about the country she lived in, and the people who lived there. When most fifteen-year-old girls dreamed of being an actress or marrying an actor, she dreamed of being able to listen to Bliss Carman. Pauline Johnson, or Frederick Scott, and longed to talk to William Drummond, or Earl Birney. This delight was what her brothers scorn- fully called Daphne's Secret Love, for she mysteriously slipped away at every opportunity to read in her glen. Little did they realize that this love would be poetry, for to all outward appearances Daphne was a shy tomboy, with jet black braids which were supposed to hang far down her back but more often came undone to blow across her rosy face. Her little nose, dotted with a few freckles, mischievously turned up at the end to match the goblin glint in her eyes, but was a source of constant woe to the self-conscious Daphne. Daphne was the youngest of a family of four, which consisted of her mother, two veteran brothers, Hank and Bill, and a nineteen-year- old sister, Janet. In her heart of hearts Daphne knew herself to be jealous of Janet's auburn curls, clear fair complexion, and her ability to make friends. Her relations were forever audibly wondering why Daphne was so untidy and boyish when Janet was so dainty, and their continual criticism added greatly to Daphne's self-consciousness. But above all she wanted Johnny Curtis, the tall, blond boy who occasion- ally came to see Janet. She Wanted him to take off his cap and smile when he greeted her, pull out her chair for her, talk to her and tell her about life in the nearby lumber camp-just as he did to Janet. But he only yelled, Hi, Stinky, when they met, and never stopped to talk, ex- cept to ask where Janet was. But now Daphne closed and hid her book of poems under a rock, for the discovery of these poems by her brothers would mean an endless torture of teasing. She walked the short way back to the farm where she found her English teacher, Miss Lawson, chatting with her mother. Wash your face and hands, and do something with that untidy hair, and then come in and talk to us, dear, her mother called. Daphne obliged and came in, shyly mumbled a how-do-you-do to Miss Lawson and sat down, waiting to see what her mother wanted. Dear, her mother began, much to my sur- prise, Miss Lawson tells me that you have a great appreciation for poetry. t'Yes, Daphne, you have, added Miss Lawson, and I should like you to recite a poem at our graduating festival. In front of all those people? asked Daphne. Oh, there's no need to be afraid of them and Illl help you with it, assured Miss Lawson. I've brought you the poem so you can practise it by yourself. It's 'Johnnie Courteau,' by Wil- liam Drummondf' That night, and for the nights of the next two weeks Daphne went out to her glen and recited the poem to the moon. She liked the amusing French-Canadian dialogue and the lilting rhythm, but most of all she liked the way Johnny Courteau resembled Johnnie Curtis. For her Johnnie Cwhich she secretly called himl could shoot, run, jump, walk the logs, and was as carefree and jolly as the Johnnie of whom Drummond had written. And as her recitation improved with diligent practice a hope arose in her young heart-a hope that Johnnie Curtis would see how her recitation applied to him and compliment her for reciting it so well. Plans for the recital went ahead quickly, and when a dance was planned for the younger people, in the church hall, again Daphne's hofpes for a better acquaintance with Johnnie rose, for she knew he would be there. More plans were made for an adult party at their own farm, and Daphne's hopes soared to unlimited heights when Janet promised to help her mother with her own party, so Daphne could go on to the dance. Johnnie would have to dance with her now. Two days before the recital, when the whole family was in a bustle to have everything ready, a long black -car drove into the yard, a tall dark man stepped out, and with cries of welcome the family rushed out to greet Uncle Eric. But Daphne mentally placed him in her mind as an- other relative who would wonder about her unattractiveness, and leaving . the welcoming group, she went off to practise her poem. On the afternoon of the recital, Daphne took special pains with her bath, using two tafble- spoons of her mother's 'bath salts and remem- bering her ears. Her mother brushed her hair THE EAGLE 61 for a good half-hour so that the shining strands curled gently under, and dressed her in her new white taffeta formal, using her motherly care to make sure every detail was taken care of. Daphne could hardly believe her eyes when she looked in the mirror, but she went on ahead of the family, for she feared that her uncle and brothers might spoil her own mental image when they compared her to Janet, whom she knew would always physically outshine her. Her recitation of Johnnie Courteau was a success, for the audience laughed appropriately at her use of the French-Canadian dialogue, and sympathized with her sessive wife. But all her disappeared when Daphne leave the hall with Janet. up and her eyes smarted castles of hopes crashed to over Johnnie's pos- joy of the evening saw Johnnie Curtis Her throat swelled as all her built-up a rubble of despair. She stumbled miserably home and helped her mother with the party, which Janet had for- gotten. When the last dish was dried Daphne donned her old slacks, ran out to her glen and had a good cry. She tried to read some poems, but it was too dark, so she tearfully began to hide the book again. What on earth are you doing out here at this time of night, and what have you got there? came a deep voice from behind her. She spun around to find Uncle Eric standing there. He picked up the book of poems, glanced at her tear-stained face and asked her what was the matter. The shock of being discovered in her own glen was too much for Daphne and she burst into tears, mumbling out the whole story of her teasing family, her ugliness, and Johnnie Curtis, between her sobs. Then Uncle Eric sat down beside her, lent her his handkerchief, and laughingly said, Daphne, dear, you're suffering from a natural but over- sized growing pain. It's more than that, muttered Daphne from behind the handkerchief. No, it isn't, asserted Uncle Eric. Look at it this way. Johnnie Curtis isn't the only boy in the world, and a twenty-three-year-old man is a little old for a fifteen-year-old girl, isn't he? And as for the teasing, I can help you there, too. I used to tease the life out of your mother when I was young, but soon she learnt to ignore me, it wasn't fun any more, so I soon stopped. Try ignoring the taunts of those two brothers of yours and see if it doesn't work. But, sniffled Daphne, all my relatives will still tell me I should be as pretty as Janet and I should act like a lady. lf you'd been watching yourself tonight as I've watched you, you'd know that you were as pretty as Janet and just a perfect little lady. You know, you should read a poem I know by Bliss Carman. What's it called? queried Daphne, coming out from behind the handkerchief. Daphne, was an answer, and more than the title applies to you. Listen to part of it: 'tDear shy, soft face, With just the elfin trace That lends thy human beauty the last touch Of wild, elusive grace! Oh, that's beautiful, Uncle Eric, murmured Daphne, but it could never apply to me. Beauty is found in more than curls and lip- stick. When you are as unselfish and hard- working as you were with your mother tonight, that certainly counts. Now come on back into the house and don't leave that beautiful book of poems out here. It might get damp and warped. Do you think everything is all cleared up now? he asked. Daphne laughed, Everything's fine now, thanks, Uncle Eric. JENNIFER MCQUEEN CGrade XIJ CThis is a good piece of work. You handle the characterization well, and the whole thing de- velops excellently. Congratulations on your obviously wide reading of Canadian versej -.- il THE UNDERDOG CSecond Place, Senior Storyj Mike was going to tell that boss where to get off, he'cl been pushed around for six months now, getting all the tough jobs. Yes, sir, he was in for a promotion! The boss was surprisingly reasonable, Well, he said, after Mike had stated his case, 'tperhaps you would do better running the machine. I suppose we could start you tomorrow. Oh no you don't, said Mike. I start right away, now. See here, I've got to have a man on the shovel for today, and this move will take quite a bit of arrangement-one day more or less won't make any difference to you, the boss reasoned. Yeah? questioned Mike. When I asked Ed, the foreman, he handed me that line, too, and 62 RUPERr's LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL I'm still shovel1in'. I'll be here for work to- morrow. Clif Martin watched the young, burly, fellow disappear through the door. He felt a warm wave reach his collar and knew he must be red with anger. He must keep his temper, must. After all, the kid was a good worker, and it wasn't altogether his own fault that he had the attitude that he had a right to anything he asked. Carlyle, the war-time manager, whose place Martin had taken, had let that kind of insubordination go in order to retain valuable men. Now the man shortage was just as acute, but Martin could not use the war effort as an excuse for leniency. He sighed, his opportunity had passed. Mike, too, sighed with satisfaction in the con- templation of an afternoon and evening spent with Rosie, his girl, who worked in the cafeteria for the plant employees. Today was her day off, he had timed his action beautifully. When, dressed in his loudest suit a few hours later, he knocked on Rosieis door, he was mildly sur- prised to see her look of apprehension. What is it, Mike? she asked, what's hap- pened. Why aren't you at work? 'tThat's it, he thought, she's afraid I've lost my job. His chest swelled. Congratulate me, he said aloud. I've been promoted and have the day off as well. Well, said Rosie, well. 12 lk il Mike liked his new job, in fact everything was exactly as it should be. The boss, although stern, seemed satisfied with his work, and Rosie, she was even getting to like the idea of marrying him soon! This was the life! Mike rolled over in bed just as Clancy, Benson and Steve Sawa entered the bunk house, Benson was growling something about fining that cook, and Sawa was trying to quiet him. Evidently there had been some sort of political argument between Benson and the chief cook of the men's cafeteria. Benson could never keep his temper. The men gathered round the three who had just entered. Mike could not be bothered listening. Then he heard Sawa say: I like hot soup. That amused him. He got out of bed and went over to the group who were enjoying themselves picking out the faults in the meals. He began to get sore himself. Why not do something definite, he suggested. The men liked the idea. Finally, about ten p.m. a com- mittee went up to see Martin. Mike went to see Rosie. He was quite excited about the decisive method the union was taking to en- force the demand for a change of cook. Sawa was going to specify that the cook be changed immediately, while one of the men filled in until a new one could be secured. With the threat of a strike the thing was a cinch! Rosie was quite unsympathetic to the pro- cedure-thought the ultimatum was quite un- fair to the company, which had had a hard time getting the present cook. Mike couldn't see it her way, so he changed his argument. He said: Wouldn't you like it a lot better if you didn't have to serve the officials in a separate dining- room? I guess they're too good to eat with us. Rosie's reply, I like serving them, they're polite and say thank you and don't bother us girls with rude teasing like some in the main dining-room, first bewildered, then aggravated Mike, and when she remarked that the men probably would be more strained if the staff appeared among them for meals, he walked out in a rage. Mike was not speaking to Rosie. If she wanted to side with the big bosses who had cars, piles of money, and who never did any work, let her go ahead. Joe Forster, his friend, approached him on the subject, reasoning, lt's not worth it, Mike, go and apologize. After all, it couldn't have been such a serious issue as all that. Never! said Mike. She could come crawling to him when they all got tired of please and thanking her, One night, when Mike was in on a big poker game, Joe came in with a look of elation on his face and, tapping Mike on the shoulder, asked him to come for a walk as he had a great break to tell him of. You remember that engineering course we wanted to take last summer, and couldn't afford? said Joe when they were out in the cool night. Yeah, replied Mike. Well, Martin and some of the rest of the staff are going to give night classes in the school for a couple of months, and they're free and open to anyone interested. Gol, Mike, this is our chance. Mike's face twisted. Crawl to Martin, he snarled, not me. The boss has you on his side now as well as Rosie. I guess you think you'll be a big shot some day. Thanks for spoiling my game. Mike won a hundred dollars that night which didn't help him to sleep. Thank the Lord to- morrow was Sunday. He was up early, THE EAGLE 63 smoking restlessly until noon. Abruptly he ground out his cigarette and got ready to go out. What was the good of money if you couldn't blow it on a good time? His step was lighter as he whistled off toward Helen's. He awoke with a jolt. There were Rosie and Joe strolling arm-in-arm down the track. Slowly he lowered himself to a convenient rock. He stared, stupified. Later he became aware that most of the men were making their way from the bunk house to the community hall. A union meeting. A spark. His anger flared. He rose and strode purposefully to- ward the hall where the union was holding a meeting. Mike was going to make trouble for that boss! JOYCE Moarzrs CGrade XIIJ CGood. You centre nicely on one character and he comes alive - even your choice of name for him, suggesting the hot-tempered Irishman, who acts before he thinks, is good. Rosie is not quite convincing though: perhaps she could have been seen a little more clearly. For instance what did Rosie look like? Not that you need tell the details in the story-but you, as the writer, must know a point like that.J THE FINALE My Dear Miss Gaylore - the letter read. CShe smiled a little at this. Most of her fan mail was addressed in the more personal tone, such as Darling or Sweetheart of All My Dreamsfj- I have never written such a letter before, but since seeing your performance last night I felt I must write and tell you how I appreciated it. So much so, in fact, that I shall be in the audience again tonight. Yes, she thought, I know how you feel, stranger. I felt that way myself years ago, only it was Grace Moore I admired, not Louise Gayloref' Her eyes misted a bit as the past few years of her life slipped aside and she saw herself again as a shy girl of fifteen. She laughed softly. Homely little thing that I was. The picture cleared. There she was. A slim girl of average height, brown eyes, and hair worn in a bow at the back of her head while she worked polishing the silver. From all ap- pearances her mind was concentrated on nothing but the shining objects before her, but a careful observer would have noticed it was the newspaper on which she was working that her eyes strayed to. - Abie's Irish Rose Starting 97th Success- ful Week, read one caption. -This Year's Ziegfield Follies Bigger and Better than Ever, read another. -George M. Cohan Stages Comeback in Fd Rather Be Right, and so on, Her head was full of the music of the day. How she would like to sing it aloud and dance. She glared at the heavy brogues on her feet. Yes, serviceable, durable and very prac- tical. Practical for what? Standing and walk- ing, but certainly not for dancing. Her father did not understand. Maria, he would say, this dancing, it is not for the likes of you and me. It is for the rich and carefree who have nothing better to do than dance and fiddle away their time. For me it is gardening and you, housework, but dancing- not for us. I will hear no more about it. The Follows, for whom they both worked, were kind and acted like second parents to Maria, especially Mrs. Follows, who was the closest Maria had to a mother. Now and then she would take Maria to one of the big shows, and for weeks she would be happy remembering about the performance and imitating the acts when her father was not within hearing. He did not approve of her seeing these shows, though he did not stop her from going. Just putting ideas into the child's head, he would mutter, It was right after seeing The Show Is On,' starring Beatrice Lillie, that she saw the shoes. They were bright green and light in weight, but what was more, they were advertised as, not shoes, but dancing slippers. The very phrase excited her. 'tAnd papa, she cried that night, her eyes dancing, they fitted me, too, because I went in and tried them on, and they wouldn't cost much only . , . But her father's only words were No, Maria, and then under his breath, Green shoes! Dancing! what next? That was the way it always was. Her father loved working with the earth. Gardening was his whole life and he was wonderfully happy mowing, planting, watering and working around the Follows' spacious estate. But such was not the life for Maria. She was not unhappy making beds, dusting, washing dishes, etc., but that was only because the glitter of shone silver was to her the glitter of bright footlights, and the dust and dirt on her smock was grease-paint and make-up, and the clatter of knives and forks in a dishpan was the orchestra tuning up for the opening chorus. But this would not satisfy her for long she knew. 5 64 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL That night, with the memory of the green dancing slippers and the thrill of the music, song and dance ringing in her ears, she made up her mind to run away to the land of grown- up make-believe-the stage. She would have like to have bought the green shoes, too, be- cause they seemed to be a sort of symbol, but she was sensible enough to know that every cent of the money she had saved she would need if she was to become a star by starting at the bottom. ak ik 41 That had been eleven years ago, and now she was on the top, Little Maria Wells was the glamorous Louise Gaylore, but though it had been a hard climb with many a heartbreak and disappointment she knew it had been worth it. The stage was all she had dreamed it to be and more. The applause of an appreciative audience brought just as much of a lump to her throat now as it had five years ago, when she had made her first successful appearance. Her only sadness was over her father. She had written him soon after her departure, try- ing to explain to him her feelings, but his curt reply was that since she had chosen her own way against his wishes, he would not interfere but that she need not keep in touch with him as he wanted no more to do with her. There had been no more replies to any of her letters and soon she gave up writing, but not without deep regret. She thought of him often, and each time she found herself reminiscing, the symbolic green shoes came to her mind. Funny how such a small thing as a pair of shoes could have made possible the career of one of the stageis top personalities. Strange. - But she could not sit around day dreaming all evening. They would be ready for the finale in a few minutes. As her mind thus returned to earth and the present time she recalled the letter in her hand. It was a rather nice letterg she thought she would finish it. l have a daughter who wanted to get into show business, she read. A daughter?! Her eyes flew to the signature. Sincerely, John Wells. Wells! Her father! Why the old darlingf' she cried as she re-read the letter. He doesn't know me. He thinks he's admiring a distant celebrity and doesn't know it's his own daughter. Oh, I can surprise him! Then she remembered the flower box that had come with the letter. She would see him tonight and- yes, she would wear his flowers, not matter what they were, in the finale instead of the orchids as she had planned. She hummed happily as she changed her costume and her eyes sparkled as she started to open the box. This sparkle turned to sheer astonishment, and when a knock at her door preceded the familiar words, Ready for the finale, Miss Gaylore, the lovely Louise Gaylore was sitting at her dressing table with tears of happiness rolling down her cheeks, hugging a pair of funny, little old fashioned green shoes. BARBARA CAMERON CGrade XIJ CThis has good moments, and your suggestion of the change and growth of the father is good. So is your use of the green shoes to tie the whole story together. Incidentally, theatrical life is far from as romantic as you would suggest.J FAREWELL Although we are very sorry to have to say goodbye to Miss Frances Davidson, we are glad to have this opportunity of wishing her happi- ness in her future life. Miss Davidson, who for three years has taught singing and music ap- preciation in the junior and middle school, is to be married on June 21 to Mr. V. H. Wickberg, and as she is planning to reside in Winnipeg, we hope that we shall often see her. We shall always remember her lovely singing voice and her friendly personality, which have made music a pleasure for those who have been privileged to study with her.

Her favorite occupation is fighting with Liz, and at any moment may be heard sounds of a struggle in their corner and a muffled Soch a funny beezness! 089 ISABELLA BRIERCLIFFE Isabel, who became a boarder this year, and is from Wawanesa, Manitoba, has been heroically combatting the nickname Isasmell all year, and we find that as the year draws to a close, Isabel is the flushed but triumphant victor. She plans to return to 'tRupe next year for her grade twelve, and after that-who knows? Perhaps a millinary business or university career-Isabel hasn't yet decided. AMW ri? im' - BARBARA CAMERON Ever since Babs made her first appearance at Rupe five years ago she has been a permanent part of school life, and as the saying goes is right in there pitching ffor the Brooklyn Dodgers, that ish. Bugs has a winning personality and oddly enough appears funniest when she is serious. She is Prefect of Dalton House, Treasurer of the Literary Society, a co-editor of The Eagle, and last, but not least, is our dependable basketball timekeeper. We are pleased that she'll be back again next year and after that she plans to take an Arts course at U.B.C. 059 JANET CAMERON In her five years at Rupert's Land, Janet has made herself very much a part of the school. She is Secretary of Matheson House and an active member of the Literary Society and Art Club. A member of the Guides, she won her gold cord and was an acting lieutenant of our company, and is now helping the captain in the Second company at St. Andrew's. We want to thank Janet for so faithfully attending all the inter-school games as scorekeeper. Janet has worked hard for our school and house this year, and we wish her all luck in her future career as a laboratory technician. G40 SUSAN DE LAMATER Sue has been at 'tRupe for three years and is planning to take Home Economics at U. of Man. next year. This year she is taking a music option, which shows her interest in, and talent for music. As a French scholar she is not one of the best Cprobably not knowing what bonjour meansj. However, aside 'from the scholastic fieldf' Sue is one of the friendliest girls in the school and a definite asset to Machray as their Prefect. We wish her luck. O00 NORMA DAVIDSON It seems hard to believe that Norma has only been at Rupe since Grade Ten, for we soon forgot she was ever a new girl. She is an active member of the Literary Society, holding the office of vice-president, and is also in the dancing class. Norma's great interest, however, is dramatics, and we know by her performances in last year's play and this year's Variety Show that she is sure to succeed. Although she is not quite certain, Norma thinks she will go to the University of Manitoba for a year, and then to a univer- sity in California. 089 ELOISE GREEN Eloise came to us this year from a northerly gold-mining town at Snow Lake, and has been a part of our boarding school this year. We listen eagerly to her stories of her home, which is dif- ferent enough from ours to make it seem very wonderful and exciting. Extremely talented dramatically, Eloise made a great success of her monologue Betty at the Baseball Game in the Variety Show. Eloise is leaving us to attend the University of Manitoba next year. PATRICIA HARDIMAN Pat came to us this year from Fort William to make a place for herself in the school right away by becoming Miss Rupert's Land of 1947. Pat is a girl of two very different natures. Although to the day girls she seems a quiet, studious type of person that is nice to be with when the need for quiet prevails, the whole boarding school shrieks disagreement when we class her as silent. To them she is a bright happy and likably rowdy individual. Pat's plans for next year are as yet undecided. 040 DONNA KELLEY Donna is a member of Eaton's Junior Fashion Council as a Rupert's Land representative. She is Captain of Machray House and photography editor of the Eagle Cher keen interest-and ability in this hobby made her an excellent person for the job.J Donna plays centre forward on the second team and is very fond of driving the family car, As yet she is undecided as to what course she will take at University, but her interests lie in Science and Home Economics. me ANNE KOBAR Anne is another of our north country boarders who proudly hails from Herb Lake. Although thought quiet by some, one only needs to know Anne well to realize she is one of the friendliest and most interesting girls in the room. We also wish we could hear more of Anne's accordion playing, which came as such a pleasant surprise to many in the Variety Show Square Dance. Anne is also an interested member of the Literary Society and Art Clubg her plans for next year are undecided as yet. 089 JACQUELEN LANGTRY Jackie hit Rupe this year like a bolt from the blue, much to the surprise of some of our quieter members. The only kind of person who would not love this kid would be one who found basket- ball boring and thought children should be seen and not heard. Cls there such a person at Rupe ?D Jackie, as captain of the first team, Literary Club member and general laugh-maker of Grade XI fills a position that no one else could take. Next year We will miss Jackie, but we know Fort William will be happy to have her back, 059 MAUREEN MARSH Maureen is a small but important member of our grade eleven class. She came to us last year from Fort Francis as a boarder, and has 'been very well liked here at Rupe. Maureen has a very dependable nature and she never seems to forget to do any of the little jobs she volunteers to do. Next year Maureen is planning to take a business course at Fort Frances High and Vocational School, and we wish her the best of luck. ' 'qw 7 f is f ' 9 .

She is a prefect and an editor of the magazine, so one can see she is not only likable but talented. Beth's ability to draw is illustrated throughout the magazine, too. COh, well, she can't do algebra!D Beth plans to take an Arts course next year at the U. of M. and then hopes to become a commercial artist, 089 JENNIFER MCQUEEN Vlfe wish to thank Jen for her wonderful Work as School Sports Captain this year. From the beginning of her ten years at Rupe she has excelled as an athlete, playing badminton, tennis and basketball, climaxed this year by winning the Senior Gym Cup. She plans to major in English at University with the ultimate aim of becoming a journalist and we congratulate her on Winning the Senior Short Story Competition. In the summer Jen models, while in the winter she deftly gets out of history tests. Jen could also be termed a poet-right? OK9 ELEANOR MITCHELL Eleanor Anne came to us in Grade IX as what we thought would be a shy, long-haired musician, and turned out to be a happy-go- lucky music-maker of all types from Bach to boogie. Despite the serious photo opposite, Eleanor is one of our happiest class members, which does not, however, account for her fascinating tag of Rose- bushj' the origin of which has been lost in the history of time. We wish Anne the best of luck in her A.T.C.M, this year and hope to have her back with her smile and music next year. me PAULA MUNRO Paula came to 'tRupe from Robert H. Smith in Grade Nine and after spending three years among us has decided to return for a fourth before taking a business course. In school her interests lie chiefly in Home Economics and sportsg she enjoys tennis and is an enthusiastic member of the second basketball team, playing guard well. Paula has a mania for collecting things, namely records and china animals. 059 PEGGY MUSGROVE Peggy has been making friends at Rupe in her own quiet way since Grade Nine and we will miss her next year. She has many interests especially in sports, she is a good gymnast and enjoys tennis, swimming and skiing. For her career Peggy hopes to be- come a dietitian or perhaps a dress designer. CBoth very nice and apt professions for Peggyj To follow up these desires she is going to start a Home Economics course at the Manitoba University. ESME NANTON Es seems almost a permanent fixture at Rupe, for she has been here since Grade Five. She is on the second team, and in the gym class, managing to do very well in both. Es is also amazing in the Science lab., and her keen interest often leads to some astonishing discoveries. Perhaps the fact that Es has a chemistry set at home has something to do with it. Although Esme has not yet decided what she will do later on, we know that with her engaging smile and ever-ready sense of humor, she will make a success of whatever she undertakes. For the time being, Es plans to take an Arts course at the University of Manitoba. G40 PAT NETTELFIELD Pat came to us from Montreal in October of this year. She easily fitted into our school life, and has quickly made many friends. Interested in almost all sports, her favorites are swimming, basket- ball and riding. She constantly amazes both Miss Speers and our- selves with her ability in Maths, and who will forget the look on Miss McLean's face when first Pat recited from the French reader -with no mistakes? Pat's ambition is to be laboratory technician, and she is leaving us for a Science course at U. of M. next year. 089 JOAN OSTERLAND This long-haired lass who is responsible for many of the quick sketches in this book came to Rupe this year from General Byng High School, and seems to have liked it well enough to stay for her Grade XII next year. We are very glad about this, as Joan is a grand girl with the kind of artistic ability that made the tableaux such a successful part of the Variety Show. Joan has made so many friends Cwe think by her ability to laugh heartily at home-made jokesl that it is strange to think she was a new girl only a few months ago. 089 ELIZABETH PATTON In the four years that Liz has been at Rupe she has made so many friends with ner engaging personality that she could easily be termed one of the most popular girls in the school. As well as being Matheson's House Captain, and on the first basketball team, Liz is an enthusiastic horseback rider. Liz intends to take an Arts course at U. of M., where she plans to major in English. She in- forms us that her ambition has always been to be a dramatic critic and fly from place to place criticizing plays, n'est ce pas, Liz? G40 PRISCILLA RAYN ER Although Prisc. just entered Rupe last year she has made a definite place for herself in school life. She has been an all-round student, and not only has achieved high marks in school, but has been Grade Eleven president, a keen support of Dalton House. and to top it all, our hard-working business manager of this magazine. She is an ardent Guide in the 9th Company and has just been awarded her Gold Cord, the highest award a Guide can earng also with six others she has been chosen to represent Manitoba at a Girl Scout Camp at Michigan. Tennis is her favorite sport, and she is an enthusiastic hockey fan. Priscilla intends to follow up her scientific interests by taking Science at U. of M. aqiiiwlhs ,MM 5 W. 'A at an film JANET REID This blonde stick of dynamite has been a source of liveliness for the past six years at Rupe. As social convener of the Literary Society she did a splendid job covering up a few bad moments when food lacked, with her ever-present infectious senes of humor. Her interest and ability in any thing to do with the stage showed up to advantage in her work in the Tableaux in this year's Variety Show, and her leading part in last year's Matheson House play. Following this line, Jan. plans to go to a dramatic school as soon as possible. 089 GWEN ROBERTS Lynne has made numerous friends at Rupe since her arrival last year from Meadow Lake. This has been well proved by the fact that she is already a Machray House Prefect and vice-president of the Art Club. Lynne has worked hard at singing this year, play- ing a very active part in the School Choir, as well as singing a solo in the Festival. Gwen will be back at Rupe next year for her Grade XII. O59 MARY TUCKER Mary must have outgrown her nickname of Mousie before we met her this year, because this energy-bursting girl is far from shy. She is by nature a happy, generous, good-hearted soul, loved by all, especially basketball fiends who yell themselves hoarse over her marvellous goals. Her reliability and business head were behind the Variety Show all the way, and if Mary doesn't have a nervous breakdown from trying to get changed in time for P.T. we believe we will have her back with us for Grade XII next year. 089 AUDREY VAN SLYCK Audie, from way out Transcona way, hasn't yet acquired par- enthesis legs, but if she keeps up with her love of horses and riding we have our fears, Audrey, being one of our more energetic friends, is on the second team, is a Jones House Prefect, secretary of the Art Club and one of the best dancers, including jitterbugging and square dancing, in the school. We also feel that she is one person whose appearance was not spoiled by the bang-cutting fad. Good luck next year in whatever your course may be, Audrey. G40 JOYCE WILLIAMS h Willie first came to Rupert's Land last year in Grade Ten. She plans to go to business college next year, and then become private secretary to some rich, good-looking bachelor. Joyce is an enthusiastic skier, and went on several ski trips this winter. She is also fond of swimming and tennis. We wish Joyce all the luck in the world in her future career, and with the amount of per- sonality and charm that she has, we are sure she will succeed. ANN WINDATT Windy has been at Rupe since Grade Six, and this year is a Prefect in Matheson House. Tennis is Ann's best sport, and her backhand shot is especially powerful. She is sports captain of her house and besides playing in all house games is a guard on the second basketball team. Ann is an ardent hockey fan and missed seeing or hearing barely one game this season. Reading is one of her favorite pastimes, knitting is another. Ann is blessed with the ability to make friends easily, and we wish her good luck in her Home Economics course next year. 'WX 1,-ff '?f3'k ft c W . ,K .. iii? Cbrnhv Xllll Carahnntra G40 MARGOT BURTON MARGOT BURTON came to Rupert's Land last year to take Grades Eleven and Twelve. She is from Medicine Hat, and life on a ranch has been hers ever since she can remember. Margot is fond of nearly all sports, especially ridingg she is a guard on the first basketball team and excels in gym. As president of the newly-formed Boarding School Council and secretary of Dalton House and the Literary Society, she takes an active part in school affairs. Full of life and spirit, we are sure Margot will enjoy and do Well in her Home Economics course next year. GND EILEEN CONLIN EILEEN CONLIN also came to Rupe last year and is from Trans- cona. CWhenever she is not here on the dot of nine, we remem- ber the weather and those regular OJ Transcona buses.J Eileen is a member of the advertising committee and of Mathe- son House. She is fond of art and dramatics and her favorite sport is swimming. Friendly, and interested in other people, Eilgeg is sure to make a success of the nursing career she hopes to o ow. G46 BETHALEEN HALE BETHALEEN HALE, from the far north, Herb Lake, Manitoba, came to us for Grades Eleven and Twelve last year. She keeps the boarding school lively and any time Cmidnight included? one will hear a monstrous roar coming down the hall from her room. She is interested in all sports Cone great achievement of the year being to go down first on the toboggan at Polo Parkb. Beth is our mad scientist -she spends endless hours laboriously finishing Physics reports, and every other Thursday afternoon is known for experimenting, with the Literary Society cocoa-with all her eagerness and interest she is sure to do well in Science at U. of M. .lin M RUTH HARRON RUTH HARRON is a newcomer to Rupe this year from Sperling, Manitoba. Sports come easily to her and she is noted for her versatility in basketball as she plays equally well both forward and guard on the first team. Ruth is a Machray House member and also belongs to the Literary Society and the Art Club. She is very artistic and fond of reading, whenever the time permits. It is Ruth's intention to go to Normal School next year, and as she is very friendly and interested in other people we are sure that she will make a splendid teacher. 059 MARGARET KILLICK MARGARET KILLICK, As this year's Head Girl, Margaret deserves more words than this short space affords so we have left her to more capable hands Csee page 225. Marg has always been associated with the Rupert's Land Guides and we are pleased that she has also been chosen to represent Manitoba at the Girl Scout Camp in Michigan. G40 JEAN MCQUADE JEAN MCQUADE has been at Rupe for several years and this year is Grade Twelve's Red Cross Representative--she has al- ways done more than her share of Red Cross knitting and is also an excellent seamstress. Jean is fond of skating and canoeing, and this year has made great attempts to learn how to ski. Jean is always showing us small toys and other presents she intends to take to her three-year-old niece, and we know Auntie Jean must be a welcome visitor at a certain little girl's door. Science is her favorite subject, and after going to United College she hopes to take an X-ray technician's course. 059 JOYCE MORRIS JOYCE MORRIS is our auburn-haired class president from Foot- hills, Alberta. Whenever there's a discussion or argument one can be sure Joyce will be there contributing many convincing and forceful points. She loves reading almost as much as debates, and besides being a good English student, is a member of the Literary Society. Baseball and hiking are her favorite sportsg caring for her own and Margot's baby goldfish, Salt and Pepperf' is one of her hobbies. Next year she hopes to go to the University of Alberta, and we wish her the best of luck in the future. 059 MARY NIELSEN MARY NIELSEN also came to us this year from Sperling, Manitoba.

Mary enjoys skating more than any other sport and is very proficient in it. Machray is her house, and she also belongs to the Literary Society. When school ends this year Mary hopes to travel with her family to Europe and visit her native Denmark, and we wish her a very happy and successful journey. INEZ SCOTT INEZ SCOTT has been at Rupert's Land the last two years as a boarder: her home is now across the seas in Victoria, B.C., but when she came to us she was from Oak Lake, Manitoba. Although appearing quiet, she is really lively and full of fun, as anyone in the boarding school would say.

Inez is very musical and spends much of her time at the pianog she hopes to continue with music as her career, and become a music teacher in Victoria. 059 LUCILLE SMITH LUCILLE SMITH has been with us ever since Grade Eight, and ,VQ since has played an important part in school life.
