THE EAGLE 25 seams Noits .2 INTER-SCHOOL BASKETBALL Due to the late delay in setting up the sched- ule it was only possible for each team to play one game against the opposing schools. River- bend and St. Mary's. It turned out that Rupert's Land won six out of eight games to capture the series, with St. Mary's second, and Riverbend third. All games were extremely well played and several compliments have been paid concerning 'the speed and versatility of our players. This year we had a new system: the school, not playing that particular game played hostess to the other two schools and provided girls who refereed the game. This was very profitable for it gave them responsibility and developed quick thinking. if JOAN EVERETT Sports' Captain. Rupertls Land I vs. Riverbend I, 24-16, won.

February 9, on a sunny, crisp winterafter- noon, we all crammed into a sleigh and went off singing on our Tally-Ho, which was loads of fun - especially for Miss Sharman and Mrs. Wright. We had weiners, cokes, cake, and candy on returning to Mrs.Wintemute'se-Cthank you again, Mrs. Wintemuteh-and Judy Patton found games suitable for a rather full com- pany. The rest of the winter term passed quietly except for numerous meetings where Gail re- peated, Come on, we can do it, and Joan dis- cussed House Sports. We have played our basketball and will con- tinue to Work hard this summer term in our badminton, tennis, and volleyball. The Mission Tea is to 'be held on June 4 and Matheson again looks forward to a successful afternoon. Also, this summer term the annual picnic is coming up and we hope it will be as much fun as usual. The most wonderful accomplishment of this year is the high level of our House conduct. Everyone has tried hard and we should well be proud of our results. The year was saddened for us by the death of Liz Patton, Matheson House Captain, 1946- l947, a wonderful person and a kind friend. We are grateful to her for the happiness she gave us while at school. In remembrance of Liz, who was a keen history student, the House gave Professor A. W. Lower's From Colony to Nation to the School Library. We were sorry to see Mrs. Holland leave the school. We miss her friendly presence and help- fulness. Matheson is reaching the end of another suc- cessful school year, thanks to our staff, Gail, the executive, and all members of our House who have so energetically and enthusiastically entered into the various activities. It is the co-operation of everyone which gives us the fun we have had, and which will, we hope, bring to our House, in the near future, that fine silver shield. The best of luck to all the members of Matheson, always! JONES HOUSE EXECUTIVE ' President ..,.,....,...,....................,....... Miss B. McLean Associates ..,......... Miss G. Smith, Miss N.

Doris Perry Although Jones House hasnot done so Well in obtaining high marks this year, everyone has tried hard, and had a lot of fun besides. In the first term we enjoyed a Hallowe'en Party jointly with Machray House. Everyone dressed in fancy costume, and a contest was held for the best and most original costumes. Joc-elyn Carey, who came ,as a kitchen Cshe even had ice trays for shoesj, took the prize very deservedly for originality. After the con- test games were played, refreshments enjoyed, and everyone had a thoroughly good time. A different feature, The Jones House Olym- pics, was also held in the fall term. Events such as races of all types, high jump, and broad jump took place, and the competition was very keen. Ribbons were given to the winners of the different classesg the final champions, the girls who had won the most ribbons, were chosen. Mary Jane McElhoes, senior champion, and Michaele Easton, junior champion, were presented with prizes at House meetings later. Sports is a keen interest with most membersg the House basketball games were very spirited, if not quite successful on the part of Jones House. When the gymnastic competitions were held we were proud to note that many girls from Jones House took part and did very wellg we especially a-pplaud Arlene McEwing, who won the junior cup. Next term Jones House hopes to have more fun in the way of picnics, s-ports and all the activities which warm weather allows. Jones House members always have fun together, as there is a warm spirit among usg even if we are at the bottom of the marks list, We cannot feel that we have failed because we have learned the joy of pulling together.
