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. House Secretaries.
