THE OKTICLOS CLUB The Okticlos Club, under the presidency of Barbara Creeper, held a very suc ' cessful reception at which Mrs. Atkinson was guest of honour. Coffee was poured by Mrs. Carscallen and Miss Sissons, and the members were received by Mrs. Atkinson, Dr. Carscallen, and Mr. Atkinson. After the reception there was a concert for the British Organ Restoration Fund which was attended by the school. The guest artist, who added much to the programme of our own artists, was Mr. Alex Read of Niagara Falls, who was received with great applause. The even ' ng was thoroughly enjoyed by all. THE COLLEGE CHOIR The big choir, as it is known to all, has made rapid progress under the capable direction of Mr. Atkinson and Mrs. Sherwin. After our hours of blood, sweat and tears accompanied by some of Mr. A ' s wit, we were able to show our ability when we entertained the congregation of Sherbourne United Church at the evening service of May 12th, and sang the follow- ng Sunday morning at the Whitby United Church. With our last presentation of songs at Commencement, we concluded an enjoyable year. THE PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club, with Connie McFadyen as president, and Dr. Hunter as Honorary president, has completed a very profitable year of work. The members have learned to develop films and print pictures for the other students. Several amusing indoor studies were taken of which the Club is especially proud. LEST WE FORGET Our chief post-war project has been the collection of a contribution to the War Amps Recreational Fund. The girls earned much of the money by marketing their skill in mending, laundering, photo-developing, hair-cutting, ski-waxing, and even in helping one another with homework. We also sent parcels of food and useful articles to a number of our former English students, and donated wearing apparel to the clothing drive for Europe. Page Tiventy-nine

Winona Denyes (President), Glenna Wylie. Reth MacNeil, Miss Beno. STUDENT CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT With the assistance of Miss Beno, their advisory teacher, the S. C. M. had a successful year. During the course of the Sunday evening services, we were pleased to hear such vivid speakers as Dr. G. Little and Rev. A. Cooper. The chapel services every morning, led by Dr. Carscallen and Miss Sissons, will always be re- membered, for their short but inspiring words. Our annual Bazaar was a success, the girls participating eagerly. This, together with the Sunday evening contributions, enabled us to give donations to the Grenfell Mission, Santa Claus Fund, and the cot in the Chinese Mission. Gifts were given to County Home and the choir, directed bv Mrs Sherwin, helped in singing Christmas carols. Payr Twenty-eight
