DIARY (Continued) up and eat our traditional dinner before we leave for the holidays. I al- ways enjoy the two processions that precede dinner, especially the Boar ' s Head. The {ester put us into the spirit of the season and the dinner, mmm-mm-mmm, was it delicious! The cooks certainly put their best ef- forts forward and everyone enjoyed her meal. After singing Christmas carols we all went to Main Hall to watch the tableau while Margaret Cole read the Bible and the choir sang. I don ' t know how the girls in the tableau remained so still all that time in such uncomfortable positions. ' Lo Diary, Here I am again only a few hours after the dinner, but in my own bed at home.

Dear Diary, January 30 We were entertained by our dramatic group under the direction of Mr. McLeod, our teacher of dramatics. The name of the play was Pride and Prejudice. The cast kept their audience on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Especially amusing was the scene where the minister chased the eldest daughter of the Bennet family around the living-room trying to persuade her to marry him. Dear Diary, February 14 We had Miss Kim, who Is from Korea, here tonight. She told us many interesting things about Korea. She is now studying in Toronto, and will return to her home at the end of the year to teach history in one of the high schools there. Dear Diary February 20 Oh, who can sleep after such an exciting night. The halls were just bubbling with excited girls, trying to get dressed for the biggest occasion, our A. A. formal. It was a terrific success. Oh! the dining room was (Continued on Page 15) -13- I
