Howes. Miss Gault has proved a most valuable addition in the Otiice and Mr. Howes' enthusiasm for the teaching of middle and junior school boys both in class and in cubs has earned for him the thanks of all concerned.

VVe are delighted to hear periodically from former members of the Staff- Miss Snead, who, though happily settled in Sussex, England, always loves to hear news of Selwyn House, Mr. Perkins, whose new school at Lancaster, Ontario -Waverley Boy's School-started off on its first year with Hying colours last September: and Lieutenant-Commander Picard, now serving in Quebec City. We have been pleased to have a visit from time to time from Mr. Howis, whose presence is a signal for happy laughter and fun amongst his former students.

The choirs have taken part in the Christmas and Easter entertainments, and were also heard on the Voice of Youth programme on March 22nd. XVe were once again asked to sing carols at the M..-X.A.A. Christmas Party and a picked choir of twenty voices performed very satisfactorily on that occasion. The enthusiasm of the boys in the three choirs is high and the improvement in the singing is limited only by the amount of time available for rehearsals. TH If LIBRARY The past year has been an interesting one for the Library. VVQ have had many exhibits, well illustrated by the members, and we have had distinguished visitors, among whom were the Hon. Gaspard Fauteux, Lieut.-Governor of Quebec, and Lord Lovat of Commando fame, The Christmas Term opened with a study of shells and sea-shore life. Some valuable specimens were shown. The most out-standing collection was that of Michael Berrill, whose unusual examples from England and Florida stimulated research work and were the object of much admiration. Peter Cumyn displayed an interesting group of shells, and a very large star fish. Bill Hambly had a lovely piece of stag-horn coral and a heavy cone-shaped shell, the name of which we were unable to find. Nikolas Kairis had a very good collection of small shells and coral. Peter Xobbs exhibited two tlounders of the variety which expands when attacked. These we found quite unique. Tony and Nicky Le Kloine showed two 'year-old' alligators-very good examples in perfect condition. These created a sensation in our exhibition. The background to this display was provided by Happy Baxter's pictures of Ilnder-Sea shells in all their beauty, with the divers at work obtaining the very types of shells exhibited in our cases. Bill Ilesler also supplied pictures. These were of unusual kinds of shells from different parts of the world. They were very interesting and decorative. Dwight Brainerd showed two boxes of exquisitely coloured shells from Nlartha's Vineyard. The eockle shells were specially lovely. He also had a large wbelk shell. Yytis liaestli had two shells to show in the exhibit. l12l
