HERE we are at the end of another school year — and a jolly good year it has been, too; full of work and play and friendship! Very soon now, some of us will be leaving Trafalgar forever, going out to take our places in the work of the world, and sharing more fully in this great adventure called Life; and so, before we come to the parting of ways, let us look over briefly the events of i929 ' 5o. First of all, we must congratulate Marion Wilson of last year ' s Sixth, who, with an average of 8i% in the Matriculation Examinations last June, won first place on the Honour List of the Province of Quebec. This is a fine record, and we are proud to add a second name to the list of first places begun in 1920 by Carol Robertson. This year has seen the fulfilment of a school dream — a dream which resulted from the work of the Sixth of 1927-28 — The Library. Now that we have it, we realize what it means: a reading and reference room, a cosy place to work, a source of enjoyment for everyone; and we wish to thank all those who have contributed towards it in any way, especially the girls who gave the necessary stimulus to its commencement. And since we are counting our blessings, have we not good reason to be proud of our Basket Ball teams, which, out of a total of eighteen games played, have won seventeen, and have again brought back to Trafalgar the League Cup? Hockey, which was bequeathed to us by last year ' s Sixth, proved quite popular this winter, but owing to unfortunate weather conditions, no inter ' school matches were played. On May 31 last year, a History Pageant, which illustrated by scenes and tableaux many of the phases of European history from the days of Rome to the Battle of Trafalgar, was presented by the II, Upper II, III, and IV Forms, under the direction of Miss Swales and Miss Collyer, assisted by Miss Rae and Miss Bed ford ' Jones. The scenery, costumes and much of the dialogue, which were the work of the directors and of the girls themselves, made the. Pageant a great success, both for the audience and for those who took part. In March last year, we were all sorry to hear that Miss Hicks, owing to her illness, would not be able to return to us for some time. Miss Riley, who was on leave of absence from her school in Australia, came to take her place. Miss Riley was kind enough to remain with us until she was called back at the end of the Christmas term as Vice-Principal to her old school in Adelaide. As Miss Hicks was still unable to return, Miss Hood joined the staff in January, and is now in charge of the Science work. Outstanding among the achievements of the Old Girls is the honour which has been con ' ferred on one of our graduates, Cairine Mackay, now Mrs. Norman Wilson, who left Trafalgar in 1902. Untiring in her spirit of public service, Mrs. Wilson was made Senator in the January of this year, and has the distinction of being the first woman to become a member of the Canadian Upper House. Her success is certainly a great inspiration to all of us at Trafalgar today, who have so many hopes and dreams for the years which lie before us, and we are very proud to claim her as an Old Girl. Mrs. Wilson has kindly given us permission to print her photograph in the Magazine. As for the school itself, when we consider that we have an enrollment of three hundred girls, with a certain number graduating every year, we realize that the ranks of our Trafalgar Sisterhood are growing, and will continue to grow long after the very youngest of us here today has gone into the great world to take care of herself. And with this increase in growth will come added achievement, more girls who will carry the spirit of Trafalgar into the paths of life, and who will be looked up to by the Trafites ' to ' come, just as we look up to the Old Girls who have left Trafalgar every year since eighteen hundred and eightyseven.
