STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Our S.C.M. is a branch of the world-wide organization. As usual, this year the girls participated in Chapel Services and contributed to student relief, the Gren- fell Mission, and other charitable enterprises. The pre-Christmas Bazaar was very successful, and many of the objects for sale were the handiwork of the girls them- selves. Four of our members attended the conference at O.A.C. and came back with fresh interest and inspiration for all of us. The Student Christian Movement Conference The S.C.M. Conference was held on the weekend of January 22-23, at the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph. Shirley Langdon, Marilyn King, Pamela Tulk ' and Wendy McLaughlin repr esented the S.C.M. of O.L.C., and took up resi- dence at MacDonald Hall. After registering we went to the opening afternoon session which lasted from 2.30 until 10.30 with an interval of one hour for dinner. The programme during that period was as follows: 2.30-3.00 — Professor V. E. Devadutt who was an active member of the S.C.M. in India and is now a professor at the Serampore College, opened the meeting with the Bible text John 1:18, showing how God spolce to the world through Jesus Christ. 3.00-4.15 — An address by Dr. A. G. Mollegan, Professor of Christian Ethics at the Episcopal Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia. He pointed out — The natural reaction of our loving God should be that we love our fellow men. The reason why we are faced with wars is that man will not admit the presence of God and open his heart to Him. 5.14- 5.30 — We then divided into four groups and discussed the Bible text which Professor Devadutt had chosen for one of the themes of the Conference. 5.30-6.30 — Supper. Eating with about 200 men! 6.30-7.30 — An address by Professor Devadutt taking for his theme What is the Church? Quoting from the Apostles ' Creed, he said: The Church is One and Catholic. Underneath all divisions there is one; all divisions are a sin. 7.30-8.15 — Singsong. 8.15- 9-15 — An address by the Reverend T. K. Chiu from Kunming, China, who is now serving as Assistant Minister in Glenview Presbyterian Church, Toronto. He spoke on The Church Meeting the Needs of the World Today. He told about conditions in China and the struggle between the Communists and Christian leaders. One of his most potent questions was Have you decided what you are going to die for? Are you living every day with that purpose foremost in your mind? 9-15-10.30 — We had a little lunch of cookies, ice-cream and coffee and then saw a film produced by Arthur Rank entitled Faith Triumphant. It was the very moving story of St. Paul testifying when he was put on trial for being a Christian. 10.30 — Miss Prang, the associate general secretary of the S.C.M. in Canada, who spoke to us in Chapel this year, closed that day ' s session with a prayer. After this we volunteered to assist in doing the dishes, during which time we met some very interesting people who took us back to our residence for the night. Programme for Sunday. 8- 8.30— Breakfast. 9- 11.00 — Bible Study, taking for our discussion Matthew 16. 11.00 — The regular College church service, with Dr. Mollegan giving the sermon. Page Nineteen

Joanna Alexander for the Vox Collegii THE HONOUR CLUB (STUDENTS ' COUNCIL) The Students ' Council was enlarged still further this year to include the presi- dents of the junior classes and the vice-president of the Junior year. It was felt that in this way the Council could better serve the interests of the whole school. Meet- ings were held regularly, and supplemented from time to time by open meetings for the whole school, at which many problems were happily resolved. P.S. If future Councils are anything like as co-operative and well-conducted, the Dean will be happy indeed. M. H. S.

McLaughlin DANCES The Holly Hop — November 26th It was wonderful! Almost unbelievable! The best morale lifter of the term! One of the largest dances to be held at O.L.C. — the Holly Hop, of course, With many thanks to its sponsors, our Senior Class, all the above is most certainly true. This year ' s Holly Hop was decorated with great swags of evergreen surround- ing the windows and hanging from the ceiling. The lighting consisted of three electric candles in each window and two six-foot ones up by the orchestra — all A ' uge Twenty
