TRAFALGAR HOUSE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION An Association was formed this year in the house to organize and control all sports and athletics. One night was set apart each week for sports only, when basket-ball and games were played. Small blue and white badges were given to each member on joining and an annual subscription of twenty-five cents was paid by each. The Committee consists of : — Honorary Advisor: — Miss Gumming Chairman: — Miss Edwards Captain: — Marjorie Guthrie Vice-Captain: — Louise Morrison Secretary-Treasurer: — Eleanore Morrice Conveners of Committee: — Helen Ogilvie Kathleen Conn A RAINY DAY MORNING The rain is falling softly, And the birds beneath the eaves Are singing songs because the snow The budding earth now leaves. NOON The rain is falling softly. And there ' s not a sign of sun But we are all quite happy. For our morning tasks are done. NIGHT The rain is falling softly, And dusk is falling fast, The birds are twittering in their nests. And evening ' s come at last. B. C. — II SPRING. Spring at last is really here! The songs of birds are ringing clear; Each has begun to build its nest. Choosing the place it likes the best. The flowers bloom upon the hill, The world ' s no longer white and still. The snow has gone, and in its place The sun shines on each flower ' s face. The birds among the flowers sing, For all are glad to see the spring; The bees go humming to and fro They wish the spring would never go. M.D.— Upper II. 25

THE TRAFALGAR GYMNASTIC DEMONSTRATION The Annual Gymnastic Demonstration was held on Friday Evening, 4th of April, and Saturday afternoon, 5th of April. The dancing and apparatus work came alternately on the Programme, which made a pleasing variation, without the un- necessary pauses, which sometimes mar an otherwise good exhibition. Exciting races were run between the different forms, and the final basket-ball match was an interesting climax. The dances were all in costume, and one charming feature was the minuet, gracefully executed by the two tiny pupils of four years of age. The balloon dance was a bevy of children skipping and dancing around with brightly coloured balloons. The uniform dancing costume was an apple green frock, with silver bands on the girls ' hair, and their dancing slippers laced with silver cord. Girls climbed ropes and descended in different poses, others jumped and some exhibited splendid balancing powers — doing graceful steps and movements to music as they kept an upright position on a raised beam. Then different divisions gave marches and Swedish exercises, forming wheels, triangles, and other figures. Finally, came the Victory Dance, which had been devised by Miss Edwards, in which the different countries in sombre draperies entered to a slow, weird music, mourning, and making gestures of despair, and finally sinking to the floor. But then — unexpected and unheralded came Victory, bearing before her the emblem of her name, and with her came the Dove of Peace, a tot of four, who, to a bright and pretty tune, fluttered from one mourning nation to another, whispering her happy tidings. Not daring to believe, they arose and seeing Victory cast off their dark robes and appeared in their bright and colourful flags. All the girls of the dancing class, in the green costumes, entered dancing, and the whole room was one moving body of green and brightly colored flags. The audience applauded the pretty sight, which was so well suited to the occasion. Next came the match, which promised to be a well played game, as both sides possessed good players, and each knew her position and work. The game was well contested, but the Present Girls ' team won on both occasions, and the game ended with hearty and well earned applause for both sides. The final match was a winding chain of girls in the uniform gymnasium tunic, dark blue and white, looking extremely neat and smart, their hair all arranged in the same manner with black bands. The tiniest tot led and the tallest girl ended the line. Then all stood at attention and God Save the King was sung. Badges won by the Captains and Lieutenants of the different forms, were then awarded, and the Chairman said a few words, and proposed three cheers for Miss Edwards, who had worked so heartily for the success of the Display with the co-operation of all the girls. — S.
