Mary Lane Ward Doris Tucker Matheson extended a warm welcome to Mrs. McKenzie, Hazel Dickson, Faith Wilson, Gail Allman and Sheila Mitchell, who joined our House this year. Mrs. McKenzie honored our House at initiation by being chosen with Claire McCallum Uones Housel, as Miss Rupert's Land. October 4, on a mild, sunny day, Matheson had their first party of the year, which was a picnic at River Park. Our sport's captains arranged a very enjoyable series of games for us, which included volleyball, dodge-ball, a sing-song and an intriguing treasure hunt. We became very proud of our House bad- minton players, Johanne Wintemute, Wendy Smith, Janet Carman, Bertie Clancy, Judy Patton and Mary Lane Ward, who won top honors for the House, losing only one game. Congratulations, kids! The inter-house basketball and volleyball competitions are over for another year, and although Matheson didn't get top honors, every- one tried hard and showed great school spirit. Near the end of February, Matheson enjoyed an invigorating tally-ho, despite the below-zero weather, and refreshments of hot-dogs, cokes and cookies were afterwards served at Lorna Craig's home. Afterwards we joined in lively steps to the tune of Lorna's gramophone, en- joying everything from the latest ballroom and jazz steps to a rhythmic congo line. All the girls agreed that they had had a wonderful time and we were all very grateful for Lorna's kind hospitality. Matheson was sorry to see the departure of Miss Marson, who was such a great help to us. We especially thank her for kindly transporting many of us back and forth from our parties in her car. Our best wishes for the future go with you, Miss Marson, and we'll miss you very much. Secretary-Treasurer ...................... nina Matheson also wishes to congratulate Faith VVilson Cjunior classb, and Mary Lane Ward lintermediate classl, who were runners-up in their class for the gym cup. We are all looking forward to the summer term with the continuation of the inter-house sports, the annual Mission Tea, and our final party, which will complete a grand and excit- ing year.

Frances Macfarland This has been a comparatively quiet year in Dalton House. The first three meetings were spent in electing officers for the year. At the fourth, the new girls were welcomed and told of the fine traditions of Miss Dalton, founder of our House. We were very pleased to wel- come to Dalton House two new members of the staff, Mrs. Fallis and Miss Edwards. We have had two parties, one of which was held on October 18th. We were planning to go to River Park, but due to a wet, slushy day, we had to be content with using our imagination to turn the common-room into a park. The second was a tally-ho, held on March 8th. Everyone had a marvellous time, and after- wards went back to Shelagh's, where an excel- lent supper of weiners, etc., was enjoyed to the full. House games in badminton, basketball and volleyball were held, with everybody enjoying the keen competition. Many House members were on these teams, and we congratulate all the girls on their efforts. Next term we are all looking forward to House tennis and the Mission Tea, where the blue and silver colors of Dalton House will again adorn the House table.

Geraldine S-choepp This year we welcomed Miss Boreham and Miss Inglis to our House. Even though Jones House hasn't done so well in getting high marks this year, everyone has done her best and has had a good time doing it. In sports, Jones House has played well, show- ing great exuberance and overflowing enthu- siasm. The first term we played badminton and volleyball, with Jones coming third and second respectively. This term we played bas- ketball and came second. We are now looking forward to the tennis competition, in which we hope Jones will do well. Another event of the second term was the party, of which the main feature was a treas- ure hunt. This and other games planned by Marlene, kept everyone in good spirits. Prizes were given to the winners of each game. The food. Cthe most important partj, was wonderful, and we all enjoyed a good sample of Thelma's baking. The gym competitions were held this term and everyone in Jones did very well. We would especially like to congratulate Mary Hodder, winner of the Midget Cupg Arlene McEwing, winner of the Junior Cup, and Marlene and Katharine, who placed second and third in the senior competition. Jones rather fell down in conduct this year, but we can account for this. It is the unfailing high spirit of the girls, which keeps them per- haps just a little too carefree and happy. Next term we have the Mission Tea and an- other Jones House party to look forward to. Although we have not done as well this year in the actual number of points gained, we can at least feel that we have built up a strong spirit of co-operation and friendliness, and that we have done our best for Jones.

We were all very pleased at the beginning of the term to know that Miss Grace Smith was to be our new House presi- dent. We also welcomed Miss Hawkes and Mrs. Coulter, two new members of the staff, to our House. There was also the badminton competi- tion during the Christmas term, in which Machray came second. Although there were no other activities scheduled for the Christmas term, everyone was looking forward and plan- ning the sports which were to take place next term. The activities of the Easter term started out with the volleyball and basketball competitions. Everyone was very pleased when Machray came first in the volleyball and tied with Dalton for top honors in the basketball event. On February 16th everyone piled into a sleigh and headed for an evening of thrills and spills on a tally-ho. After the tally-ho everyone went to Patsy's house for refreshments, consisting of hot-dogs and cokes. On March 16th was the gym com- petition. Two of Machray House members shone very brightly in this annual event. We all want to congratulate Cathy Young, who came first in the intermediate class, and Rose- mary Lynde, who tied for first place in the midget class. Our work and conduct have not been very so far this year, but we are hoping to improve. Now we are all looking forward to our an- nual Mission Tea, which will take place next term. There will also be tennis and other sports which are awaited eagerly by everyone.
