20 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS, SCHOOL 1522111 CEM From a thriving northern Manitoba mining town. where dark, spruce-clad shores meet tawny limestone by the changing waters of Herb Lake, June came to Rupert's Land in September of 1947. Though somewhat awe- struck at first and a little timid of life in the city, she soon became adjusted to her new surroundings and took a continually increasing part in school affairs. In Grade X, she was a member of the Boarding School Council, a prefect in Machray House in her Grade XI year, and was elected Head Girl at the commence- ment of this school year. With quiet dignity and steadfastness of pur- pose, June has shouldered her responsibilities and tackled the problems facing her as leader of the School Councilg her fairness, her sin- cerity and unselfishness have won her the affection and respect of everyone. In sports, too, June has taken an active part, having been a valuable member of this year's undefeated First Basketball Team. Next year, she hopes to continue her studies at the University and our best wishes go with her! June has the last in the long line of Head Girls of Rupert's Land School and has shown herself in every way worthy to be one of that group of dis- tinguished young people, who, each in her own generation, has made such a fine contribution to the life of the School, to the building up of unique position of being the JUNE KOBAR the traditions associated with it and the en- viable reputation it enjoys. It seems iitting that this tribute to June should end with the names of those Head Girls, who, along with her, will be long remembered with affection. 1923-24 1924-25 1925-26 1926-27 1927-28 1928-29 1929-30 1930-31 1931-32 Katherine Middleton Ruth Tucker Margaret Carey Marjorie Hoskin Isobel Magill Muriel Wright Jocelyn Botterell Mary Lile Love Jean Wells 1932-33 1933-34 1934-35 1935-36 1936-37 1937-38 1938-39 1939-40 1940-41 Katherine Saunders 1941-42 Joan Watson 1942-43 Mary Kate Florance 1943-44 Sheila O'Grady 1944-45 Margaret Martin 1945-46 Beverley McVicar 1947-48 1948-49 Jocelyn Richardson Leslie Florance Monica Mackersy Kathryn Milner Anne Cunningham Gertrude Eland Amy Best Martha Grimble 1946-47 Margaret Killick Barbara Cameron Ruth Swatland 1949-50 June Kobar E.M.B. and F.B.S.

THE EAGLE Uhr Arrhhirihnna Writer I VERY readily, though regretfully, accede to your request to write a word of appreciation of the Headmistress for your 1950 Year Book. Her re-signation came as a great blow to me. I staved it off a year previous but this time I could not prevail upon her to reconsider. She has been a great asset to the School for a great many years and with her going a chapter will close. I want to make it clear that I write this before there has been a single Word of discussion in the Co-llege Council abo-ut the idea of amalgamation with another School and without any knowledge of what the outcome of that discussion will be. I write it in the face of the existing situation only. Miss Bartlett taught for some years in different parts of England and then in 1930 came out to Rupert's Land, wh-e-re she stayed for five years. After two years in England she received a cable from Rupertls Land offer- ing her the position of Headmistress to replace Miss Millard. After much hesitation and following the receipt of a second cable she acceptedg and so began the thirte-en-year period of service which has been of such benefit to the School. Alta petensl' has certainly been her personal motto as well as that of the Sc'hool. She has ever tried to raise the School higher and higher and make it better and better. And results prove she has largely succeeded. We say goodbye to Miss Bartlett with deep regret, deep appreciation, and deep affection. May her future be as bright and happy as we know it will be useful and beneficial to others.
