miTORIAI I HERE we are near the end of another school year and the final exams are coming closer and closer. As our frontispiece this year, we are very pleased to have a photograph of our teachers. We have always wanted a group picture of our mistresses and I think that it is the first time that such a picture has appeared in our Mag and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them very much for it. When School opened last September we were al l very distressed to learn of the death of one of our mistresses, Mademoiselle Gabillet. All whom she taught were deeply touched by the loss of her services to the School. Mademoiselle took a great interest in each girl she taught and especially in the Guides. Her work was taken temporarily by Mademoiselle Boette who left after a few months to work for the Free French Forces of General De Gaulle. In her place we welcome Mademoiselle DuBois. We congratulate Miss Box on the presentation of the Gymnastic Demonstration which was marked particularly by the precision and the excellence of the group per- formances. Although the efforts of our Basket Ball and Ski teams did not result in victory, we were a close second in both events. We congratulate the Study on their double victory. An innovation this year was the forming of a Junior Basket Ball team. Several of our girls have brought honour to Traf during the year. Nora Newman was placed third in the Provincial Victory Loan Essay Contest. Charlotte Scrimger and Edith Mather gained second and third places in the Essay Competition on the Appre- ciation of the Masterpieces in Art which we all had the opportunity of seeing this winter. Denise Craig was also rewarded for her efforts in the contest. Joan Staniforth and Betty Sutherland brought distinction by capturing all individual honours in the Senior and Jvinior divisions in the Interscholastic Ski Meet at St. Sauveur. [13]

The vast extciiHioii of llie war (liiriiijj; iImk y ' ar lian a(l(lc J an fvcii Lrn i-r loiic to school life, especially since recently it has spread to our sister Dominion, Australia and to the Far East. The work of our Junior Red Ooss, under the capahle guidance of Mi«s Hicks, has been j reatly increased durinf:; the year. Many arti ;les have been knitted hy the girls and are being sent regularly to the Red ( ross Heaclquarters. During the year the School has had several lectures which were of great interest. Miss Hazel and Mr. Humphreys brought home to us the needs of the West. Rishofi Martin and Bishop Fleming visited us also and were given a hearty welcome. Recently we had the great pleasure of seeing moving pictures about the work the women are doing in this war over in England, and the important place they are taking. The Houses have all had a successful year and great enthusiasm was shown in the Spelling Bee, Junior Music Competition, Inter-House Basket Ball matches and General Knowledge Test. The Prefects have been aided by the newly created Sub-Prefects from the Fifth Form. They are Rae Hunter, Lois Tyndale, Dorothy Burden, Joan Erzinger, Harriet Anderson and Mary Mitham. As we go to press we are very sorry to hear that we are to lose, at the end of this year, one of our Staff — Miss Abbott. This will be a great loss to the School as Miss Abbott has for the last ten years encouraged Art in all classes. We often see posters adorning the corridors, which were all part of Miss Abbott ' s teaching. Not only did she teach Art in the School, but aroused great enthusiasm among the pupils for this subject. Every year, countless people have enjoyed the Art Exhibition which has been supervised by Miss Abbott. We regret very much that she is leaving and we wish her the best of luck in the years to come. The Forsyth Cup awarded to the Senior Girl who has made the most of her oppor tnnities, showing herself friendly and helpful to all, was given to Peggy Muir. The Inter-House Shield, presented by Mrs. Wynne Robinson, was won last )ear by Gunniiing Mouse.
