So far we have been spared the horror and destruction it has brought to other lands, but we are becoming increasingly aware that for many the price of victory will be measured in a priceless currency — the lives of young Canadians. On the home front the year has brought added restrictions and rationing. School is now opening half an hour later — at 9:30 A.M. In our eflfort to meet the growing difficulties of transportation, and, in a hundred other ways, changes have been accepted in our daily living habits in order to achieve the peace, for which we are fighting. In the life of the school it was inevitable that Miss Bryan should be missed after her long association with all its activities. Even before her arrival at Crofton House, Vancouver, Miss Bryan was assured of a warm welcome there, and it is not too much to say that her cheery enthusiasm and great abilities have won her a permanent place in the affections of her new school. It is with the keenest regret that we hear that the school is, next year, to lose Miss Ridout, who is joining the Wrens . Miss Ridout has been with us for five years, and, during that time, she has won our whole-hearted admiration for her work with the juniors and for her enthusiastic interest in all school events. She has been a member of the Staff Tennis Team and has often accompanied the skiers to the ski-meet at St. Sauveur. Our best wishes go with her in her new career. This year the school welcomes Miss Jaques to the art studio. In an amazingly short time she has taken her place in the life of the school, and, throughout the year, the studio and the fascinating work of the art students have contributed much to our enjoyment, as well as deepened our interest in painting and modelling. [13] In the world of sport Trafalfjar lias inairitaineci its usual iiifjl) standard. Firtit, we congratulate the Wurtele twins on their eontiinjed success in all skiing events. The school, too, is very proud of .)oan Staniforth, who was selected with others to represent the skiers from (Canada as the guests of the Sno-Birds at Lake Placid. Both our senior and junior ski teams were successful in the Inter-Scholastic .Ski Meet at .St. Sauveur, and we were happy in heing ahle to retrieve the Molson .Shield. Our thanks go to the Penguins for their kind hospitality. One of the events of the past year which certainly deserves special mention is tlic annual Gymnastic Demonstration. The novel and entertaining display, with its rhythm and harmony of movement, drew appreciative comments from girls and parents alike. We are grateful, also, to Miss Box for her untiring work in the training of the basketball teams, and it was certainly no fault of hers that we did not succeed in regaining the cup from The Study after a hard-fought struggle. Our congratulations go to the victors for their well-earned reward. The school has had the privilege this year of hearing several interesting talks. Miss Graham told us the story of the great achievements of the late -Sir Wilfred Grenfell and of the Grenfell Mission, illustrating her words with slides showing the settlements in Labrador. Miss Wyngate described the activities of Deaconess House in Toronto, while Archdeacon Alderwood and the ever-welcome Miss Hazel depicted the life of the settlers of Western Canada, and their interesting work there. Archdeacon Gower Rees paid his accustomed visits to the school on Trafalgar Day, Armistice Day and Ash Wednesday, and spoke to us from a well-stored mind. Interest in the Houses was stimulated at the beginning of the year by the dramatic competition, consisting of selected scenes from Shakespeare ' s plays, which brought out a good deal of latent talent. It was an innovation providing an excellent opportunity for the practice of dramatic interpretation, and we hope it will become a regular institution. Other House activities were the General Knowledge, Spelling and Basket- ball competitions. Red Cross work and the sale of War Saving Stamps continued throughout the year under the encouragement of Miss Hicks. Reading, too, has become a favourite means for obtaining points, while the reward of blue and silver shields to classes which have received no bad marks or detentions throughout the week has encouraged a spirit of competition between the forms. This year will be outstanding for the first School Dance in the history of Trafalgar. It was a very successful and enjoyable evening. We are grateful to Miss Foster and the Old Girls ' Association for their generosity, and may we express the hope that the dance may become an annual event. The (Christmas Play, under the direction of Miss Strawbridge, was an excellent pie(;e of work and the audience would gladly have lingered in the fairy world of kind- n(!HH and trancpiillity created by the players. The (Christmas (Carols, under the inspiring direction of Mr. B. K. (Ihadwick, whom we are delighted to welcome to our Staff this year, added greatly to the enjoyment of the afternoon. |14| A number of our pirls entered ihe Nutrition Competition, sponsored by ibc English section of the Montreal Nutrition Committee. Our congratuhitions go to Helen Ayer, who won second prize in the Budgeting for Food contest, and to the other prize- winners, Nancy Bruneau, Barbara Watson, Marilyn Potter, Giana Lyman and Betty Sutherland. The academic record of the Scbool was well sustained by those who took their Matriculation last year. We find that almost every girl reached the required pass standard, and we extend to them our congratulations, and, particularly, to Janet Dixon in winning the Grace Fairley Scholarship. It is with a feeling of pride that we remember the many Old Girls who are actively serving with the Forces, at home or abroad, or working far into the night in offices or ministries to preserve the conceptions and traditions, which the school has taught them. We don ' t forget — while in this dark December — We sit in schoolrooms that you knew so well. And hear the sounds that you so well remember — The clock, the hurrying feet, the calling bell: Others are sitting in the desks you sat in: , and yet You know we don ' t forget. Our grateful thanks go to all those, who, in any way, have contributed to the making of this magazine — this includes those whose articles, for one reason or another, may not have been used, and especially to Miss Bedford-Jones, who has spared neither time nor effort, and to Miss MacGachen and the other members of the committee who have welded the various material together.

And realized that you ' d been born Whilst I did dream, and stars on high Still lit that darkned dome of sky; And while the moon her vigil kept, And while all Nature ' s children slept. I wondered then, from whence you came, Whom your parents, what your name? I saw you as a little child, Lost in a forest, strange and wild. What thought you of this war-torn earth. That met you at your silent birth? I did not hear you moan or sigh. Though valiant men went forth to die; Though as you drew your first, faint breath, A gallant brave was claimed by death. Though cities held by love and will. Burned long and furiously until Mere blackened embers strew the ground Centuries of hope thus drowned. What thought you of such grievous things. Wrought by the selfishness of kings? Determined you that in your reign. Nations would be calm again? That you would bring, though short your life. Relief from this, a bloody strife? Oil lot this fiery conflict cease. And bring to all immortal peace. Ann Taylor, Form Vb. Barclay House. [16] DONALD ROSS FROM the (lazzlinjz; brightness of a winter afternoon I entered the Church of Si. Andrew and St. Paul and felt the sacred hush of a sanctuary embrace me as the door closed. The organ was humming quietly, when I sat down and admired — . . the high embowed roof With antique pillars massy-proof And storied windows richly dight Casting a dim religious light. Then 1 turned to examine the window on my right and discovered with a thrill of delight that it was dedicated to the memory of Mr. Donald Ross; I went over and stood before it. As I studied the inscription, someone behind me said, Why are you meditating so earnestly on this window, my child? Strangely, the voice did not startle me and it was with no fear that I turned to reply. Beside me stood a gentleman of the nineteenth century whose eyes smiled and twinkled as they watched me. I am from the Trafalgar School for Girls, I said. Is that connected in any way with the Trafalgar Institute? he asked eagerly. They are the same, I answered. The governors changed the name in 1934. Drumming his fingers on the side of the pew, he seemed lost in thought for awhile; then, he smiled. ... I see. Shall we sit down? . . . Tell me, please, what signifies the yellow pin on your tunic? It stands for ' Ross House ' , I told him proudly. It is so called in honour of our founder, Mr. Donald Ross. There are three other ' Houses ' — ' Barclay ' , ' Cumming ' and ' Fairley ' . ' Barclay ' is named for Dr. James Barclay who secured the financial aid of Donald Smith and thereby made possible, with the legacy of Miss Ann Scott and the bequest of Mr. Ross, the beginning of our school in 1887. Miss Fairley, from Edinburgh, was the first principal; and ' Cumming House ' is in honour of Miss Cumming, our past principal, who retired three years ago after twenty-three years ' service. And you are in ' Ross House ' ? Since this musing seemed more of a soliloquy than a question, I did not answer. Presently he asked wistfully, Have you a Chapel with an organ? That was my fondest dream — you see, I am Donald Ross — Please, be not afraid! But answer my questions; my time here is limited. I was not frightened. The church had grown dusky and the music sounded from far away. No, we have neither chapel nor organ — yet. I answered quietly. Disappointment showed in his face but he hastened to ask if our school motto were Spem successus alit as he had desired. Yes. Our dialogue was now rapid and concise. Realizing how much he wanted to find out in the short time allotted him, I had to condense my replies. [17] Has any gratliiate r]islingiiisl)0(] herself in any way? Oh, yes! (larine Maekay is a nienilx-r of llie Senate and llie iirlele tvvifih outran the boys competing in a recent ski meet. The Senate! — Ski meet! What are some of your scliool activities? We have a ' gym ih-ni ' every March — I beg— A gymnastic (lemonslratiou - and a field day in May! Do you have Prayers each morning? Yes, Sir; in the gym — nasiuni. So puzzled and shot Red did he look tliat 1 hastened to add, But we don ' t wear our shorts to Prayers — He inquired with dignity, Do you live in the vicinity of the school . ' ' 1 realize how far out in the country it is — But, Mr. Ross, Simpson Street is not in the country — Simpson Street! he cried in italics. Yes, Lord Strathcona donated the necessary money on the condition that tlie site of your choice be abandoned and one chosen within the limits of Montreal. So ' Chalderton Lodge ' , once the home of Sir George Sim[ son was chosen and has since been added to. But the site you chose, Mr . Ross, is now well within the city limits. I pass it every day on the street car. Street car? Yes, that is our means of transportation. But after the war we are going to use helicopters, I think. Please don ' t look so unhappy, Mr. Ross. Our school has advanced with the times but we still have old fashioned things like Bible Study and bad marks and discipline. And we think of you often and are grateful, Mr. Ross. Please let me say ' thank you ' ! I looked up to smile at him; but he had gone. The organ was now pealing triumphantly and a thousand little melodies rever- berated throughout the church. The sun poured joyously through Mr. Ross ' window and although I had the impression that somewhere in Heaven there were bells ringing in response to this burst of happiness around me, I felt a little sad. Jane Hildebrand, Vb., Ross House. THE WEATHER WE hear a great deal about the English climate these days when there are so many ( aiuidians in England and they all write home about the weather. They say that the countryside is beautifid and that they are having a good time but — the Weather. They com |) lain about the rain and the fog and they say they do not see any sun in the Winter. So I have been trying to compare the weather here with the weather at home. But my dilliculty is that while I have a good idea what the English climate is like, 1 am not yc?t sure thai I have cvt r seen a normal (lanadian day although I have been here two arul a half years. I l I When we arrived in Canada it was Summer and the heat was terrific; we had never felt anything; like it hefore, hut we were tohl that it wouhl only be for a day or two. When it lasted for tliree or four weeks we heard that such a long spell was Exceptional . Tiien the Winter came; our friends told us that there were great blizzards and the pavements were piled so high with snow that you could not see over ihem. The first Winter seemed to us very mild and we were disappointed that there was not more snow. Again we were told that the Winter had been Exceptional . The next Summer was Exceptionally dry and there were many forest fires due to the dryness. This Winter has been very cold with lots of snow, and then they tell us that this is the worst Winter for forty years! Through all the year it seems that Exceptional weather continues — hot periods, cold, wet, dry until we are just longing to see a plain Canadian day, — if there is such a thing. On looking back, 1 remember some lovely holidays we spent in the country both in the Summer and the Winter — days when the sky would be blue and the air clear and we would walk or ski through the beautiful wooded trails passing perhaps a picturesque lake either frozen or deep blue. These might have been the typical Canadian days — but there was no one there to tell us. Denise Craig, Form IIIa., Ross House. THE SHEPHERD ' S PIPE 1 I saw a sky of cloudless blue, A grassy hill of joy, And ' midst the flowers of glorious hue. Amidst the sheep all wet with dew, I saw the shepherd boy. .3 1 say a wand because it made The mountain disappear, The sunny scene began to fade, I saw a coal-black Congo maid, A forest deep and drear. 5 I travelled, while the music sang. To covmtries west and east; Saw peaceful lands where church bells rang. Followed by China ' s mystic clang. And then the music ceased. 2 He sat upon a jutting rock, A crook was in his hand, But this he laid beside his flock, His pipe he took, he made it talk. And it became a wand. 4 The music changed and took me to A happy ballroom floor. The merry waltzers past me flew, Until the music wilder grew. And led me into war. 6 I saw again the cloudless blue. But on the grassy hill. The flowers wilted where they grew. The sheep were gone, the shepherd too, And all was deep and still. Barbara Brooics, Form Va, Fairley House. [19] ESCAPE TEFAN MULLER swayed from side to s ide uh his |)aia(lnjlc lloal i down. : was v_ somewliere over En[j;land, lie liad no idea where. He had h -en in a fifilitcr | lane escorting some bombers to the norlh of England, when his plane was hit by anti-airerafi fire. He knew the engines had been hit, and turned back, but the engines soon failed, and he had to jump. He landed witli a bump and was draggcnl a few yards before he managed to stop and free himself from the parachute. He folded it and hid it behind a bush: then looked about him. It was hilly country: the small hills looked large in the dark. He glanced at his watch — twenty past eleven. He decided to look for a house to get some food and clothes. As a good citizen of the Reich it was, of course, his duty to try to escape. He would make for the south coast. Luckily he could tell his direction from the stars, and even better, he could speak English with hardly a trace of accent. He walked along for a few minutes and soon saw a one story house nearby. He walked around it and saw two windows open. He stood outside one and, holding his breath, listened in silence. He thought he heard someone breathing, so he went to the other. All seemed silent. He climbed in noiselessly. His eyes are getting accustomed to the dark, and he could see that he was in a combination sitting and dining room. Two doors led off it. He opened one and saw that it led to the kitchen. That could be left till later. The other led into the hall, and in one corner he saw something that made his eyes gleam with delight — an overcoat. He slipped it on over his uniform, and was turning to go when he kicked something. He waited uneasily for a moment before he moved, then looking down he saw some boots. Of course, his army boots would give him away. He carried them out to the kitchen and put them on. Then he opened the icebox, and was amazed at what he saw — milk, butter, even a little cheese. He took a long drink of milk, stuffed the cheese in his pocket, and finding the breadbox, he took a loaf of bread. Then he climbed out of the window again. As he walked down the road he estimated his chances. His luck had held well so far. With something over his uniform he had a good chance of getting to the coast, anyway. He walked along for hours. At four-thirty it began to get light, so seeing some woods nearby, Miiller made for them. He found some natural cover, where some bushes overhung a stream. He took a drink of water and some bread and cheese, and lay down to sleep through the day. M was awakened toward noon. He lay still for a minute, hardly knowing where he was. Then he heard hoys ' voices, and two boys about ten years old came into sight, paddling in tin; slream. I 20 I I ' m goiiifr on shore now. I ' ve crossed the channel and I ' m going to land in France , and one of the boys made for Miiller ' s liideout. Then the boy caught sight of him. Hello. Hello, said Midler. Hey, Freddy, come here, I ' ve got a German prisoner! Midler gave a gasp and was about to run, when the boy smiled. We ' re pretending to he commandos, he said. You don ' t mind being our prisoner, do you? Midler was so relieved that he agreed. He watched the two as they played together, and wondered liow they could be so ignorant of war. A seven-year-old in his country would know more. He liad to walk alongside the boys, as Freddy was keeping hold of him. Suddenly they came to a clearing where a man and woman were sitting. The boys ran forward. Mvnn, Dad, this is our prisoner! Miiller hung back, hut tlie boys ' mother laughed and said, I ' m sorry our boys have been bothering you. We ' re just going to have a picnic lunch. Won ' t you join us? We have plenty. Miiller agreed to stay. He gave his name as Stephen Miller and said that he was on a tramping holiday. After lunch the man said, We ' d be pleased if you would come to our house for supper. There ' s to be a debate in the village this evening about tlie attitude of the government to the war. You might be interested in hearing it. Miiller thanked him, but said he must be on liis way. As he stood up he heard the two boys arguing. You can ' t be Churchill, said Freddy. You ' re too handsome. Churchill ' s fat like me. Miiller waited for their mother to scold them for speaking like that of their leader, but she just smiled tolerantly and wished him good luck. As he walked through the woods he compared England and Germany. The differ- ence in the civilians ' food here, their happiness, their kindness, their liberty to say what they liked about their government — all made him realize the complete contrast. He wondered why he was trying to escape. Escape? He was giving up liberty for bondage. Suddenly he understood the feelings of people who had wanted to get out of Germany and go to England when war broke out. He had a feeling that he had been sent to England for a purpose, and suddenly he determined that if he could get to Germany he would he lp others to escape. He had quite a high position, and some opportunity for helping them. Yes, he would help them to escape to a free country, to England, so they could aid in making Germany free, a country from which no one would need to, or want to, escape.

The spirit of the forest folds her wings And softly sings her evening lullabies. From every grove melodious throats pour forth The flute-like notes that are the soul of song. The stately pine trees sway their heads and sing. As cool wind passes whispering along. The breezes toss the branches of the trees, And rouse the mirrored surface of the pool. In tiny ripples lapping on the shore Within the sleeping forest deep and cool. The cricket draws his bow across the strings And eerie cries of tawny owls are heard. And somewhere in the depth of all the darkness Tlie haunting cry of some night-flying bird. Tlie steady hum of myriad tiny wings Sounds gently through the warm and silky air, And with the bell-like tones of nightingales riic evensong is rising everywhere. l AMKr.A Ikvine, I ' orm VIa., Barclay House. [2?.] At the new moon, The tide is high. About the wharf, Deep waters sigh; The gentle waves. With ghostly grace, Sweep softly on With rhythmic pace; And fancy bright, Alone can know What beauties lie Shimmering below. FROM A LIGHTHOUSE IN THE ST. LAWRENCE At last the summit of the tower is reached, We hreathe the keen, salt air, and gaze around; Below us, we can see the cliffs and cairns, Where thousand upon thousand gulls abound. From east to west this rugged isle extends, And to the north we see the distant mouth Of that fair river, known throughout the world — The Saguenay. Blue hills are to the south. Above all these there floats a flag on high, The flag of freedom, — and from shore to shore Men ' neath her, grateful for their liberty. Arise, and cry — This is worth fighting for. Barbara Ross, Form Vb., Ross House. ON GETTING UP IN THE MORNING THE house is quiet. You are fast asleep and having a lovely dream. Just as you stretch your hand out to shake hands with the King, a window slams. You stir and grunt. What was that! You open one eye. Maybe it ' s morning; it couldn ' t be, it ' s pitch black out and besides, you have to shake hands with the King or you ' ll be late for the train. Just as you ' re about to settle down, a cheery voice rudely interrupts with, It ' s time to get up ! You {irimt, someone is talkinfi; to you. Gather your wiln togetlier. Someone said sometliiiifi; — mayhe it was tlie Kiuj;. No, no it wasn ' t. You try to sound very wide awake and say WliatV It ' s time to get u[). Your mind strujifiles to slide [)aek into dreams, but you ' re doinfi yf ur l)est to awake. In a vain effort you try to say sometliinfi very comjtosed and serisihie, All, tliank you, but I-er, I don ' t tliink I care for any. You hear a lau| b, and someone goes out of tbe room turning on a light whicli practieally blinds you and makes you feel very annoyed as you dive deeper under the covers. Now comes the struggle. I know it ' s not morning. Why, it ' s .Saturday, of course! No, it ' s Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday. I ' ll just pretend I ' m not here so that I won ' t have to get up. Oh, just a little more time! Time, time, I wonder what time it is? You rapidly sit up and grope for the clock. After trying for quite a while to read the wrong side of the clock, you turn it roimd and hold it up very close to your nose. You stare at it belligerently. Five past eight, five past eight — Oh, yes, well then, that ' s lots of time. You fail back in bed. Five past eight — eight past five, five eight past. Five past eight, five past eight! No!! You spring up, awake. Yes, yes, it ' s five past eight. How awful ! Why didn ' t someone wake me up. Mutter, mutter, moan. Where ' s my blouse? Don ' t see why people don ' t wake — Hey, someone stole my stocking. If they ' d only wake me. Finally you ' re dressed and so your day begins. Mary Grimley, Form IVa., Ross House. THE LISTENING HOUR Night ' s vmeventful in the world of men, A dull, dead time; outdoors some unknown power. Rouses the countryside one stirring hour, And Nature wakes so she can sleep again. ' Tis then the first cock crows, not hailing day. But like some cheerful watchman of the night. Sheep break their fast on hilly mountain height. Faint silvery vapour shows the Milky Way. Above the wind-tossed trees I see the stars Sprinkled like diamond dust across the sky; The liills gleam in the moonliglit ghostly white. Listening to earth ' s silence. Men make wars To mar this peace. I pause and wonder why. Standing alone in the windy, starry night. Harriet Anderson, Form VTa., Barclay House. [24] A PRAYER FOR CANADA Bless the land we love, oh God, This home of the mighty free; Bless the strong and silent hearts, That fight for liberty; And may the people of this realm Be worthy. Lord, of thee. We pray our country may become A fortress of the strong. Fearless to battle for the right. Resolved to crush the wrong; That victory, when these trials cease. May be our triumph song. Let selfishness be cast aside. Thy love divine preferred; Take all — a willing sacrifice. But let this prayer be heard. And give us but one great reward — Faith in thy living Word. Ann Taylor, Form Vb., Barclay House. [25] SOUVENIRS DE VACANCES C ' EST un coin perdu de France: Une petite ile sur I ' ocean, bordee d ' immenses plages de sable fin. De profondes forets de pins sentant bon la resine et des vignobles riches en grappes mures au moment des vendanges se partagent le sol et formenl le.s traits dominants du paysage terrestre. Le reste c ' est la mer infinie, sans limites, le grand large. Les habitants heureux et paisibles vivent mi-partie du sol et nii-partie des fruits de la mer; culture des huitres et la peche dans les beaux jours. Les maisons basses, blanches, aux volets verts, chaque printemps repeintes a neul sont bordees de fleurs imprevues presque sauvages surgissant d ' entre les pierres comme des fees. La vie est calme, si calme qu ' on oublie le monde et c ' est le pays reve de nos vacances. Dans le port de peche, chaque matin, suivant les heures de maree, les bateaux ouvrent leurs voiles aux couleurs vives et varices souvent rapiecees de teintes diflferentes qui forment comme de petits arc-en-ciel dans le ciel bleu. C ' est un pays ou le progres entre a pas lents. Les femmes portent encore les kis-snot et les vieilles des bonnets. Les hommes ont des pantalons de laine rouge ou de toile bleue qui sont souvent aussi rapieces que les voiles de leurs bateaux. Ce n ' est point par manque de bien car I ' aisance regne dans chaque logis, mais plutot par I ' economie de bonnes menageres. Lorsque la guerre fut (U ' claree, le tocsin sonna a I ' eglise de St. Pierre: si Iristement et solciuicllenienl, enlcn(hi de cliaque liaineaii, elreignant chaque coeur.

Alors j ' ai acbete une terre appelee: ' Terre de Trafalgar ' , et j ' ai fait les plans de I ' ecole et d ' un jardin. Je suis mort avant que I ' ecole ait ete construite mais avant de mourir, j ' avais laisse des instructions qui expliquaient ce que je voulais faire; malbeureusement apres ma mort, on a decouvert que je n ' avais pas laisse assez d ' argent.

Monsieur Barclay m ' a parle de I ' ecole et j ' ai donne I ' argent pour la construire. Mais nous avons decide que nous ne la construirions pas sur le terrain de ' Trafalgar ' , parce que, a cette epoque. il se trouvait juste en debors de la ville. Nous avons acbete cette propriete-ci, et I ' ecole fut ouverte en 1887. Merci beaucoup, dit Marie. Qui sont les deux autres spectres? demande Helene. Je suis Mademoiselle Fairley, la premiere principale. J ' ai eu beaucoup de diffi- cultes au commencement, parce que les eleves etaient bien desobeissantes alors j ' ai etabli des regies pour que les jeunes filles ne courent, ni ne parlent dans les vestibules, parce que nous avons eu beaucoup d ' accidents.

CANADA CANADA is a very bi{ country. I was born in England but I am living in Canada because of tbe war. We saw some Indians in Britisb Columbia, they were dressed up and they were dancing. One lady bad a baby on her back. I have been on the St. Lawrence river, it was fxm. We can see it from Mount Royal. We went in a ship, we played on the deck and did lots of things. I had my birthday on the ship. I had a birthday cake it was nice. In summer we go to Camp and we see lots of Gray Squirrels. They climb up in the trees. They have homes in the trees. We get Maple Syrup from the trees. We have fir trees in our yard. In winter we have fun in the snow. We have to put on snow suits so we will not get wet. I can see the St. Lawrence river from our apartment on Drummond Street. It is a sort of blue white on the lake. In winter the lake is ice and we can skate on it. If it is soft we cannot go on it or we will get wet because there is water underneath. We have a dog and his name is Rex and he has a kennel and when he is not in his kennel we pretend to be a dog. And sometimes we go out to pick strawberries. If it is a sunny day we go swimming and I jump in now, but I used to climb in. And we have a trail called the Bear trail because there are bears there in the spring. I went up in the Mountains, we went in a big train, it was lots of fun. We have a day called Hallow E ' en, I dressed up as a china man, we knocked at other people ' s doors and got lots of sweets. We have maple syrup from the trees. You boil and it turns into syrup and sugar. I am English but I have come over to Canada just for the war. In the Easter holidays we are going up to New York with Auntie and Uncle, and we are going in the train all by ourselves. Marjory said that when we go in the train there will be a black man for the porter and the person that is going to take us will tell one of the black men to look after us. We are going to sleep in the train all night. I hope that when I go over to England Canada will have a good time.

I want him to take a message to the jay, said Mother Snail. Here I am, said the robin, what do you want? Oh, Mr. Robin, said Mother Snail, will you tell Mr. Jay to please broadcast this on the radio? Tommy Snail is to be married to MisS Sally Snail next week, everybody is invited. Yes, I will gladly, said Mr. Robin, Good-bye . Thank goodness, that ' s done. Now I can make the cake, said Mother Snail. Then she sees Father Snail coming up the path towards their little house. She asks him to take Tommy Snail and Sally Snail out so that she can make the cake. Certainly, said Father Snail. Then he calls, Come Tommy and Sally, we are going to buy your wedding clothes. To-day is the day of the wedding. Everybody is excited. The fairies made a beauti- ful arch for the bride and bridegroom to walk vmder. The squirrel is the parson. First comes Mrs. Bee who brings a little jar of honey for a present. Then the parson ' s wife who brings a bowl of nuts, then Peter Rabbit with a bunch of carrots, and last of all came a whole family of snails who brought a pudding made of gooseberry leaves. Then suddenly everybody gives a cheer for the bride is coming, the crickets are playing the music. The bride is wearing a dress made by Mrs. Spider and Tommy is wearing a suit made by the tailor-bird. Very slowly they walked up to the arch, where they were married. To marry they had to give each other a leaf and eat it, this showed that they were married. It actually took them three hours to walk twelve feet. After that everybody went to Father and Mother Snail ' s house to have some wed- ding cake. And then taking all their presents, the two snai ls went to live in a little house that the fairies had given them. Barbara Davison, Upper I. A BUNNY A bunny ' s ears are long and white Are soft and silky and so light Its eyes are pink, its mouth is small Its body curls like a small football. Its tail is short and sticks up right. He flags it when he gets a fright His food is simple, but must be clean. Like lettuce, cabbage, or anything green. He is usually kept in a pen outside. With a boxed in part so he may hide. He ' s a real little pet and loves to play. He may be yours some Easter day. Daphne Andrews, Form II, Cumming House. [33] THE MAPLES I love the leafy Maples They are so broad and tall I love them most in autumn Such glorious colours all. They make the land magnificent They tint it red and gold And stand on all the hillsides And look so brave and bold.

I ••54 I THE GRIER CUP The Grier Cup, awarded to the most public-spirited of the Senior girls, who at the same time has maintained a high standard of conduct and has shown devotion to work, was won last year by Nancy Maclure. THE FORSYTH CUP The Forsyth Cup awarded to the Senior girl who has made the most of her oppor- tunities, showing herself friendly and helpful to all, was given to Margaret Burden. INTER-HOUSE SHIELD The Inter-House Shield, presented by Mrs . Wynne Robinson, was won last year by Barclay House. MISS BRYAN ' S PICTURE WHEN Miss Bryan left Trafalgar last June, the Old Girls ' Association very kindly presented a framed photograph of her to the School to commemorate her years of teaching and service and inspiration. Representatives of the Association came up to Prayers one morning not long before the Closing, and Miss Winnifred Kydd made the presentation to Margaret Burden, the Head Girl, who accepted the picture on behalf of the School. The picture is now hanging in the Sixth Form room, above the bookcase, and is greatly prized by its possessors.

THE VOICE OF THE PAINT BRUSH THER E is a certain section of the scliool which is completely outside the realm of many of us here, at Trafalgar. I refer to the Art Room. Formerly the only evidence of any artists ' existence was the various posters which appeared from time to time to heg for funds. During the past year, however, all the pent-up talent of our neighbours has appeared in the most surprising way. At Christmas the Juniors produced an entertaining play which was all the more appreciated because of the picturesque scenery, (and the mysterious hammering for days before). For the Gym Demonstration gay posters of different nationalities decked the walls, and the stairs to the gym were brightly marked by flag-bearing peasants. [37] [381 Neither do the artists confine themselves to the limits of the school. All along Sherbrooke Street they struu;o;le(l with perspective during the warmer Autumn days, much to the amusement of the passers-by. Let us take a visit to the Studio and see the centre of the ideas themselves. On entering; the effect is of miscellaneous objects not in the least connected witli one another. Certainly ideas have not been confined to one realm of painting or model- ling. One wall is covered with blue cardboard on which a wigwam stands amid a collec- tion of brilliant flowers. Above the blackboard are models of the development of transport. Aeroplanes and details of their structures are sketched on odd scraps of paper. A most interesting feature is the shelf of model rooms. Each little box contains a perfect bedroom or dming room, papered and upholstered. It might be interesting to note here that the scenery for the Christmas play was all planned from models such as these. But what are these curious shapes that adorn a shelf? They are curved, and twisted and moulded, but appear to represent absolutely nothing. These , we are informed, are abstracts. As abstracts are not supposed to resemble any definite object, even the most hopeless draughtsman cannot fail to make a pure shape. Abstracts are probably the greatest favourites in the Studio. One of the latest ventures has been oil-painting, which requires before you even set brush to canvas, a knowledge of bow to mix paints, and finally of how to remove them. So far I have failed to mention the impulse behind so much work. Miss Jaques. It is she who has developed our ideas, and, at times, dragged them from us. To her is due at least two-thirds of all the praise given to a painting or a model produced this year. Miss Jaques has stimulated our interest in Art greatly, and to her we all owe our deepest thanks. Elizabeth Maxwell, Form VIa, Barclay House. THE LIBRARY Although the Library ' s income for the last two years has been limited to the money collected in fines and by the sale of second-hand text-books, we have kept up our maga- zine subscriptions this year and have also bought twenty books. Eight of these were for the amusement of our very young Juniors, nine for the Junior and Senior Matricu- lation history reading lists, and the other three miscellaneous: Ludwig ' s Mediter- renean . Craven ' s Men of Art , and Young Walter Scott by E. J. Gray. We have been fortunate this year in the number and variety of the donations we liave received. Miss Bryan left over a hundred books for the Library when she left Trafalgar last June, and they deal with a wide range of subjects. Two Old Girls also have given us very welcome gifts: Editha Johnston, who is a librarian in Toronto, sent us fourteen books, including much Canadiana, while Mrs. Duthie (Marion Wilson) presented us with a complete set of Emerson ' s works and The Historian ' s History of the World . Mrs. Scrimger has been very generous in giving us twenty books for our Junior Section. To all of these we wish to express our most sincere gratitude, and also to Miss Foster and Miss Hicks, who have each presented a book. We regret that lack of space makes it impossible to list all the books received. [39] RED CROSS TRAFALGAR ' S RED CROSS WORK THE people of Canada have become more familiar with the work of the Red Cross since the present war began. As the war progresses, the activities of this great society become more and more wide-spread. The Red Cross has workers on active service on all the battle-fronts, and also many people work for it at home. There are several ways in which Trafalgar helps the Canadian Red Cross Society. The girls have done knitting and sewing. From time to time, there , are exhibitions of work in the library. Here are seen knitted articles of clothing for service men, as well as clothing for children, made of bright, warm-looking wool and soft flannelette. Miss Strawbridge ' s classes have sponsored collections of various things, which were sold, to raise money for the Red Cross. Among these were coat-hangers, used stamps and field post-marks on letters from overseas. Representatives from the School attended the Annual Quebec Meeting of the .Junior Red Cross, held on February 24th. To the nation-wide Red Cross Campaign, Trafalgar contributed $70.00. Included in this amount, was the money collected in the Mission boxes during the month of February, and $2.00 raised by the saving of waste fats in the school kitchen. Trafalgar girls are glad to have bad a part in the important work which the ( anadian Red Cross .Society is doing. .Jean McLean, Form VIa, Fairley Hoiise. 1 40 1 MISSION MONEY The mission collection this year has been unusually large. Trafalgar has kept up its annual obligation, the Trafalgar cot at the Children ' s Memorial Hospital, and also contributed to many other worthy causes. The girls are to be congratulated, as well as the class representatives who worked hard and cheerfully. The mission money was collected at the end of each month and placed in the copper plate at prayers.

' ) 37 34 34 Ross Barclay Fairley This is the first time the houses have eonipeled in a dramatic competition and it was so successful that it shows much promise for future years. Mr. Dando from McGill acted as judf!;e for the plays and recita- tions and Miss Jaques judged the drawinj s. Ross and Fairley tied for first place in the dramatics while Gumming won the art section. In the total Gumming was victorious but was closely followed by Ross. A GENERAL KNOWLEDGE TEST gained points Dec. 18 10 5 6 3 Ross Barclay Barclay Gumming for all the houses. Those girls who did well in the test won points. A SPELLING BEE between the houses was held one morning after prayers. Ross succeeded in spelling down Fairley while Barclay defeated Gumming. In the finals Ross vs. Barclay, Ross was the winner. INTER-HOUSE BASKETBALL GAMES Barclay indeed carried off all honours here having an exceptionally good team and defeating all teams who opposed her. Gumming was runner-up having won against Fairley but being defeated by Barclay. READING AND KNITTING These have been two very good sources of gaining individual points for the houses. This year especially a great deal of reading and testing has been done. Many girls have also contributed points lo iheir houses by knitting and sewing articles. A display of needlework was held in the library early in llie year under the direction of Miss Hicks and the numerous variety of articles well represented the houses. Feb. 18 Mar. 29 Apr. 5 ) [421 THE HOUSE DRAMATIC COMPETITION THIS year Fairley, Gumming, Barclay and Ross competed against each other by put- ting on a scene from Shakespeare. Each House had to give a recitation from Shakespeare and submit designs for a stage setting and suitable costumes. The bustle around the school was growing rapidly as the day drew near. People came and went with big boxes and parcels under their arms and funny looks on their faces. The Heads of the Houses were rushing around finding out the times when they could have rehearsals and where they could have them. Costumes were appearing and people were almost wearing the cloakroom floor down while pacing to and fro trying to learn their lines. Everyone was wishing everyone else the best of luck and everyone told everyone else not to be scared, that they weren ' t (much ) . Finally the great day arrived. Miss Foster announced at prayers that the plays would begin at two-forty-five in the after- noon; the girls all smiled sweetly and gulped. At two-fifteen the girls began to arrive at school, and soon many were seen in the corridors in long dresses or short tights; some had long beards, others had short perky moustaches. Outside in the audience there was great chattering and suddenly a hushed murmur when the prologue for Gumming House appeared. This house acted the death scene of Tybalt from Romeo and Juliet . Tybalt was played by Lya Popper and although it was a hard scene to play, they succeeded very well, amid the clashing of swords. The next performance was the court scene from The Merchant of Venice done by Ross House. The curtain opened displaying a great variety of colour and the excitement began. Jane Hildebrand took the part of Portia and Mary Grimley, the part of the Duke. All the way through, one felt the keenness and expectation, which ended by the revealing of Shylock ' s great mistake and his condemnation. Portia ' s part was indeed well-acted and left the audience tingling with excitement. Next came the only comedy of the afternoon Pyramus and Thisbe , acted by Fairley House. Pyramus was played by Barbara Brown, and Thisbe by Margot Thornton, and it was a great change compared to the two serious scenes previously acted. It was very amusing and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the inexperience of country actors performing before the court. The girls of Barclay House were the last performers and they put on the last scene of Romeo and Juliet . The curtain opened displaying Juliet, Joanmary Dever clothed in white lying in the vault. The stage was lit only by candlelight, resulting in an eerie atmosphere which combined with the fine acting made an impressive scene. After the plays were completed, the recitations began. Lya Popper of Gumming House chose the speech of Juliet before she took the potion. It was done very well and the curtain dropped as she lay on the couch. Next came Ross House with Jane Hildebrand making the recitation. She took the part of Henry V and was backed by the Union Jack.

History was made last night, when, for the first time in the annals of Tra- falgar, a formal dance took place in the school. This was made possible by the enthusiastic efforts of the Old Girls Association, under the direction of Mrs. Anderson, the president, and with the helpful cooperation of Miss Foster. The dance was held in honour of this year ' s graduating class. Also attending were several directors and their wives, members of the staff, and numerous old girls. During this past week there has been a subtle air of excitement among the members of the Sixth Form as they grouped together to discuss the forth- coming event. Onlookers could hear loud giggles and see meaning glances pass between the girls. The mistresses noticed a definite lack of concentration, and the girls are grateful for their patience. Guests began arriving at nine o ' clock and were cordially received by Mrs. Anderson and Miss Foster. The hall was patriotically decorated and mention should be made of the work a few of the Six Formers put into its arrangement. There were several dinner parties be- forehand and those who attended them had all arrived by ten o ' clock. A large number was present but the floor was not too crowded. The Six A cloakroom and the Five A classroom were used by the gentlemen to check their coats, the Six A classroom was used by the girls. The change from haggard girls in school uniforms to glamorous sub-debs, was almost unbelievable. Everyone was at her best and the behaviour of the girls was a credit to the school. A nickelodian provided the music. Soft drinks, sandwiches, and ice cream, were served through the course of the evening. These were looked after by the Association, and were thoroughly en- joyed by all. The dance ended at 12:45, with the playing of God Save the King . This, Traf ' s first dance surpassed all expectations and the Sixth Formers would like to take this opportunity to express their sincerest appreciation to the Old Girls for the time and energy put into making last night the great success it was.

TRAF SPORT NEWS .URING the past year Traf has again entered enthusiastically in the field of sports, under the guidance of Miss Box. This year the basketball games proved very exciting as all the teams were so evenly matched. Traf. and The Study met in the final game to decide the winner of the Basketball Cup. After a close struggle The Study came out victorious with a one point margin, again winning the cup. In the finals of the inter-bouse basketball matches, Barclay, many of whose players are on the school team, was victorious over Gumming, which bad won the cup the previous year. In the skiing tbis year Traf was very successful; both the teams, senior and junior, gained first place in the interscholastic competitions. Last year in the Field day. Gumming was victorious, while in the inter-house tennis matches Barclay and Gumming were tied. This year we are looking forward to these two events, and we hope that Traf will be equally successful in sports next year. SKI MEET 1943 THE Interscholastic Ski Meet, held tbis year on February 20tb was a great success in spite of poor weather conditions. There was a record entry of eighty-one com- petitors who trooped up north on that dull damp morning to try their luck at down- hill anti slalom. Having got our numbers at the foot of the slalom bill, the Seniors climbed the bill examining ihe cours( , while (he juniors made their way over to the Molson ' s Downhill. IVIucli [)aralTin was a|)plied at the lop of both downhill and slalom hills, as wax l)eeame SECOND SKI TEAM Betty Sutherland, Nancy Bruneau, Janice Jaques, Joan Macklaier [57] a potent fa(;lor in llic Hlrii}i;}!;l( ' lor llic l ain chamiiionHliip. I ' Ji alx lli I iirn r-ltj iH- of the Study slalonied down tlie course a full five Hecondw ahead of her nearest rival, to win the slalom title. After this race we went to the dowrdiill wliieh was in f ood condi- tion. After a hreathless rush down the trail we were told that Joan Staniforth of Traf had won the race. The Juniors, who had hy this time |ione over to the slalom, had run the downhill in good style. Betty Sutherland of Traf won and Joan Ma -klaier was second. In the slalom Jane Ware, a Westhill Hi ih School f irl had the lowest time, just 9.2 seconds slower than the Senior winner ' s time. We went to the Pen iuin (-luh Th)use for a very delijihll ul hmcli of safulwiches and cocoa. After nnu ' h hard work hy the ollicials in char :e, the remills were annoiniced. Traf ' s Senior Team, comjxised of Joan Staniforth, Palsy Scott, Joan Krzin( er, and Dorothy Burden mana}j;ed to annex the Senior title and thus lake posseKsion of the Molson ' s Shield for combined downhill and slaloin. We were followed by Westmoinit High School and then Miss Edgar and Miss Cramp ' s School. In the junior division our team composed of Betty Sutherland, Joan Macklaier, Janice Jaques and Nancy Bruneau, also won the title. Their nearest rival was Weston School. We returned home with the coveted shield, which would once more be seen hanging in the Gym. We should like to express the deepest thanks to the Penguins who have run this meet for several years. They have given up much of their time and taken a great deal of trouble to promote competitive skiing among schoolgirls. I think they have been fully rewarded, for the interest in skiing among schoolgirls has increased rapidly since this meet was inaugurated a few years ago. Dorothy Burden, Form VIa, Gumming House. THE DEMONSTRATION March 18 3 P.M. March 19tli 8 P.M. ANOTHER year has rolled by and with it another demonstration has come to a close. It proved a most successful one due to the capable guidance and tireless efforts of Miss Box together with the splendid cooperation of the girls. It is extremely difficult to alter a gym demonstration from year to year but this year ' s was highly original in many aspects and proved both interesting and enjoyable to the audience. The performance commenced with exercises by the Fifth Form and concluded with the Third Form skipping. On the program were various items executed with precision or grace, as nniuired, by lh ' wee lols of Remove and Preparatory through the school to the Sixth. One of the bright spots of the performance was the Folk Dancing. As usual this item was well received by the audieru;e and the bright costumes and gay dancing relieved the businesslike air of drill and marching. An innovation this year was the introduction of colourcMl shirts in ihe Fourth Form marching. The red shirts alternating with the blue were most striking and added considerably to the smart appearance of the girls, riie Sixlh Form drill perf n-mcd with blue ami silver wands was also a new idea. As of other years the exercises on the horse an l box, rope-chmbing and tumbling; brought sighs of envy from the audience. On Thursday afternoon Professor Hughes of McGill University very kindly gave of his time to attend the dem . He commended the girls on their ability and Miss Box for her fine leadership. He also extended on behalf of the school most sincere thanks to Miss Strawbridge who assisted at the piano. At the Friday evening performance G and Star badges were awarded to the girls who had maintained the necessary standard in gym and games throughout the year and honourable mention was given to those who had shown a marked improvement in their work. Dr. James, Principal of McGill University, praised the exhibition he had seen and with the singing of the National Anthem another successfid demonstration came to a close. Shirley Dixon, Form VIa, Barclay House. GBRL GUflDES THE School Company, 14th Montreal, has had, as usual, an interesting year ' s program, with great co-operation from the Guides. Last June we ended the school year with taking part in the Camp Gadget exhibit at the Montreal Island Girl Guide Rally, and a day later with a Company picnic at the polo field in Cartierville. Some girls went to Guide Camp and had a wonderful time. This fall several Brownies were enrolled into the Company: Elizabeth Hersey, Elizabeth Elder, and Margo Cronyn. Margaret Patterson, Elizabeth Stairs, INancy Hutcheson, and Nancy Bruneau joined the Company, and have helped very much with their enthusiastic work. During the winter we attended the Naval Exhibit in Eaton ' s and held a Hallowe ' en party in the Gym. Last term second class Guides from the 14th and 8th Companies took a course of Home Nursing lectures at the school from a trained nurse. The results of the examina- tion for the Junior Certificate have not yet been made known, unfortunately. During the summer term various badge tests are being arranged by the new Central District Badge Secretary, and we hope to have several new second class Guides taking the examinations. The latest Company activity was a bazaar held in the gymnasium on Friday, April 30th. The patrols each organized their respective booths, and the result was a [59] rcal crcdil lo llicin all. Tlicrc wuk ii (oiliiiic Icilcr, fisli pond, liotiic cooking laliic, fancy work tahle, lemonade Htatni, white eiepliani Htall, coin jx liti v fzarneh, and raHleH.

J lam i a (jto.vY.v, (Japlairt. BROWNIES BROWNIES of the 14th Pack, ' J ' rafalgar School, hejian meetings this year on Sept. 18th and spent one or two sunny afternoons out of doors, always the best fun, before starting regular Friday afternoons in the gym. To the School we offer our grateful thanks for the use of the gym, thereby saving us expense, and humble apologies for the disturbance our romping creates. It may be some consolation to sufferers, to know that from our store of Brownie gold, the Pack has been able to contribute $2.00 to the Baden-Powell Fund and $3.00 to the Red Cros.s. The Pack lost three of its members to the guides, on Oct. 16th, the occasion of a Flying- Up Ceremony. With the addition of two Brownies from other schools and seven new Fawns who were enrolled by Brown Owl of the 65th Company on Nov. 6th and Feb. .5th, the Pack has increased to 18 members. All ceremonies are very important Brownie affairs and the Fawns showed by their enthusiasm that they had acquired the real Brownie spirit. Ten second-class Brownies have been struggling to master a variety of tests, in order to gain Golden Hand Badges and to qualify as guides. Semaphore is the most intricate of these and one of the guides from the 14th Company has proved a splendid instructor. Competition between the sixes, — Elves, Pixies and Fairies, is keen for the glory of the cup at the end of term. Tawny Owl has been an unfailing help all during the year, often taking meetings alone, and now both Tawny and Brown Owl watch with critical eyes while the Pack learns to organize its own meetings; each six takes a weekly turn at planning the game, calling the roll, collecting fees and inspection — all good practice for future guide life. It is interesting to note that both imaginative and competitive games are almost equal favourites and that even the yoinigest Brownie soon learns to make her own decisions if given the t)pportunity. Brown Owl. I 60 I IF — YOU WERE A BOARDER FOR A DAY! (This is to enlighten those who have questioned us as to the highlights of a Boarder s day.) 7:00 A.M.

You vainly try to forge your way through the incoming crowd and you rush ( ? ) out to get that early morning air. 9:30 A.M. School routine is well known by all readers. 1:20 P.M. Dinner! At last! 2:00 P.M. During the confusion of reporting for afternoon duty you implore Owie anxiously with your eyes, Have I got a letter? (You don ' t dare say it.) 2:30 P.M. Second constitutional. You can ' t decide which you ' d rather have the air or the exercise; you get both! 4:15 P.M. You partake of a little light refreshment, after which you appear over- loaded with books and retire to tlie atmosphere of a Trappist monastery for the next two hours. 6:15 P.M. You emerge in a slightly dishevelled state, weak from the unusual effort and ready to attack the food again. 6:31 P.M. Supper! 7:30 P.M. On Tuesday and Thursday (and as a special Sunday treat) you are rationed with one piece of somebody else ' s candy. (Contraband strictly forbidden!) And upon that you again put your nose to the grindstone for another hour. 8:45 P.M. Faint odours of Oriental perfume (?) and loud swisliings of water and subdued (?) yells penetrate through the bathroom door.

Suddenly you are thrown out of bed by an unearthly crash, quite unin- tentionally, of course. (You immediately conclude that Maxwell must be putting up her hair!) Result — loud yells and snorlings — Mary dreaming, no doubt? At which point you hope the rest of the dorm is still wrapped in a coma.

Rocking and rolling through wild waves thrown high. Under the clouds hanging low in the sky. Churning the waters, and tossing the spray, Merrily, gaily, we sail on our way. Heaving and pitching through froth and through foam, Ready about ! and we now turn towards home. Laughing and chatting with hearts light and gay. Coming to rest in our own little bay.

THE SILVER CONES THIS year, just before Christmas, the Boarders, helped by a few Juniors presented a short play, The Silver Cones , under the very able direction of Miss Strawbridge. The play takes place on the edge of a pine forest in Bohemia. A little orphan girl is taken in by a poor widow who has seven children of her own. Hilda, the orphan, gathers cones so that she might sell them, and buy presents for the widow and her family. Rubezahl, The Magician of the Mountains , turns most of the cones to silver, and then covers them up with brown cones. Hilda takes the cones back to the cottage, thinking that they are all ordinary pine cones.

Miss Jaques and her art class very skilfully made inuc ' h of the scenery for the play. They made pine trees for the forest scenes, and the walls and fireplace for the cabin, which were very effective. Carols, directed by Mr. B. E. ( hadwick, were sunfi by the whole school in between scenes and after the play; and when all these were finished, everyone went home with a sense of the true Christmas spirit.

Let us go back over three hundred years; men were saying the very same thing then, when sixty-eight thousand, five hundred and ninety-six of London ' s people had died of the plague and a great part of the city had been destroyed by fire; did it not rise again? Newer and better houses were constructed under that great architect Sir Christopher Wren. The courage of the people during that time was really amazing; in Dryden ' s Annus Mirabilis he says Certainly never so great a loss as this was borne so well by citizens in the world . Let us again look back to the late summer of 1941 when German planes hurled death and destruction from the sky and thousands of our people were killed and thou- sands more became homeless, when the cheery people of London laughed and were courageous although they never knew when and where bombs would fall and whether they would be victims; can we not say again certainly never so great a loss as this was borne so well by the citizens of the world ? The people of this beautiful city have suffered three great tragedies, the plague, the fire and the Blitz. After the first two disasters a great part of the city was rebuilt and made more beautiful. St. Paul ' s Cathedral was partly rebuilt for it, too, as we are told in Pepys ' diary, suffered from the fire. One day in telling of the destruction due to the fire Pepys writes Saw the miserable sight of St. Paul ' s with all the roof fallen in. So the church was rebuilt and made more beautiful. In the third disaster, however, a miracle happened, for acres around, houses had been destroyed by bombs and yet St. Paul ' s stood and still stands in the midst of destruction. There is something more than courage in these Londoners; Dryden said they had Invincible courage and unshaken constancy , for already plans are being made foi [65] the rchuilfJii)} of iIh; viihI areas of r)cKtroy !

OUR TRIP FROM FRANCE ONE e dd winter day, in 1941, wben 1 was still in Paris, 1 earne baek from seliool and w as told by my Fatber lliat we were going to (Canada. 1 was very excited and ibe next day I talked about it all tbe time. The girls in the clasg gave me tlieir addresses, that I might send them postcards from wbere ever I went, which I never did. Living conditions were beginning to be difficult, and that is why my Father wanted to get us out of France. We had very little to eat and the winter was exceptionally cold. In class we had to keep on our gloves and coats, because the school could not be lieated. The people who had little electric radiators would live in one or two rooms, which could be heated by them; but the people in the buildings where there were Germans were almost as warm as in peace-time. Besides all this, the atmosphere was not very good, because of all the revolts. You did not always feel quite safe. On March 27th, 1941, we left Paris by a train which was crowded with refugees from all countries, and German soldiers. There were fewer French people, because it was hard to get permission to go from one zone to the other. In the middle of the night, we were awakened by a knock at the door and two German officers came in. They looked in all our trunks and even in our pockets, to see that we did not have any forbidden things like letters or guns, because we were crossing into unoccupied France. The next morning we came in sight of Marseilles. At this time of the year, flowers were beginning to grow. Far away was the blue Mediterranean, which could hardly be distinguished from the sky. During the next few days we spent most of our time in offices, getting more papers because we were still not quite ready. Living conditions there seemed better than in Paris, but the winter had been so cold that even in this part of France, all the fruits and grapes had frozen. There had been snow that winter for the first time in twenty years! Finally, on March 31st, 1941, Mummy, our little dog Poucette and I said goodbye to our country and sailed off, leaving my Father behind. Of course, at that time, I thought it great fun. Our boat was a .small cargo called the Carimare . All rooms, except the dining- room, had been changed into dormitories, and the real bed-rooms, which were very small, had four beds. In the other ones there were twelve or sixteen beds. We had a small room with two old ladies, and one of them was always sick, which was not very pleasant! Some people tried to sleep in the hold, but as it was too hot down there they came up and slept f)n the decks. We wcfit along tbe S|)aniHh coast, and on the third day we reached Oran. It was pouring with rain, so we ;ould not get off the boat. When we came in sight of the land, I I I searclied to see camels or great caravans, but I was very disappointed when I did not see any. I also thought that it would be nice and sininy, so you see I had a very wrong idea of Africa. The next day we went into Oran. It was funny to see all the Arab women with their long veils and many bracelets. Some of them had one eye showing, while others had two showing. I was told that the ones with one eye showing were married and the ones with two were not, or the opposite; I could never get that straight, but it doesn ' t matter much. There were also some ferocious looking Arab men with their long swords, and lots of beggars who followed you everywhere to clean your shoes. They were in rags and filthy ! Oran itself looked like an ordinary town, except for the Arab quarters. After six days, we left on the same boat. We passed through Gibraltar, but there was lots of fog, so we could not see very much. There was a storm and the convoy (we had to have one from Oran) seemed to be dancing on the waves. It was fun to watch the boats disappear between the waves. Almost everyone was sick but I wasn ' t, although I was not feeling too well! Then we came to Casablanca, where we only stayed a few hours. It was much nicer than Oran. We went south towards Dakar, and then we turned towards America by the way of the West Indies. When we got near, it was very pleasant to see all the islands with their queer fruit trees and small native villages. There were not many cities in the little ones we passed. On April 29th, we arrived at Martinique. There again officers came and looked through our trunks and books and they even read my diary. We spent an interesting month there. The women were strangely dressed and used to carry huge trays on their heads with all sorts of things on them. We did not stay at Fort de France all the time; we went to see the Volcano Mont Pele , and St. Pierre — a town which had been destroyed by its eruption. We finally got a place on a hydroplane, and flew to Puerto Rico. In the streets we stood, looking and wondering at all the shops full of clothes and food, and at all the cars. You might not understand, but when for months you have seen only almost empty shops and only a few German trucks, it seemed so strange to see all these things, but we soon became accustomed to them again. At last we reached Miami. We stayed there two days, but I could not see much of it because I was ill. We took a Clipper to New York, where we stayed ten days. This was different from what I had seen before, and I could never look down through a window and think myself safe. We did some sight seeing while waiting there for permission to enter Canada. At last we took a train, and at the beginning of June, we reached Montreal. My Mother and I do like travelling, but we were glad indeed to be able to stay in a place without thinking of trunks and air-line companies all the time! Joan Monnet, Age 12, Form II, Fairley House. [67] MY TRIP TO COLOMBO FIKST 1 will ox|)lain when- ( oloinix) in: il is llic aj)ilal o( llx; ihlanij (i«;yloii, wiii :li is ill tlie Indian Oreaii. ( eyl )n is llie island al the SoiillH-rn tip of India and ( olond)o is on the South West end of the island. Now to hi ' n ' iii our trip: we hopped on a steamer (from Southampton) and made our way round the Isle of Wifiht and into the En lisli (]hannel. We passed the Channel Islands, on into the Hay of Biscay and passed l ishon. Then we steamed slowly through the narrow straits of (iil)raltar and into the IVlediter- ranean Sea, with the north of Africa in view part of the lime. Our first stop was Alexandria, with its wonderful harhour and hundreds of small E{iyptian, Spanish and French ships. We stayed over night here and in the morning moved on down the .Nile to Cairo, where we stayed for the day. As we landed we were met hy Egyptians wearing their best clothes and talking their best English. They tried to sell us everything from straw-hats to bath-mats. In the evening we went on board again, up the Nile and on to Port Said which is at the head of the Suez Canal. Going down the Suez was simply wonderful; we went at a very slow speed, of 4 - S knots, since if we didn ' t we would swamp the banks. It took us almost two days to go through, into the Red Sea which to my surprise was not what I expected it to be, red. Going into the Gulf of Aden we had lovely hot weather but it suddenly changed into quite a bad storm. All the tables and chairs on the boat had to be chained down to the floor. The storm lasted two days; then, it was comparatively smooth sailing again. Our next and final stop was Colombo. We arrived at Colombo at eleven in the morning and it took us till half past one to get through the customs. After that we looked for a taxi, but we could not find one. Then one of our friends informed us that we should get some rickshaws. These are like chairs on big wheels which are pulled by the barefooted natives. We stayed in Colombo about three weeks and so were able to see all the sights. Colombo is a beautiful city, with many fine Padaques to Buddha. The Government Buildings are modern and there are several large race courses with enormous grand- stands to seat hundreds of people. Many of the shops are run by the natives, though the majority of them are run by the British. The streets of Colombo are narrow but very pretty. Palm trees border many of these streets. The main attraction in the shops is the exquisite hand made jewelry and the native spun silk. When yo u walk into the zoo at Colombo you think you are walking into an ordinary garden until a bear crosses your path, and you bear monkeys chattering and a hyena laughing. All the animals which are not caged are quite tame, and some of them are harnessed so they can be ridden. I was also impressed by the clouds of insects which buzzed about everywhere and which were massed solidly on the ceiling of my hotel bedroom. Only in certain seasons of the year do they fall off the ceiling; then it is necessary to sleep under a net. 1 shall always remember my trip to this beautiful island and now that I am in (Canada, I am glad to think that I am seeing still more of the British Empire.

Mei-ling Chiang Kai-Shek, wife of the Generalissimo and daughter of the famous Soong family, is the story of China as it sought to emerge from the medieval into the modern world. She knows her country as few people do. She has watched its progress in times of peace; shared the sufferings of its people in the years of war; and, by her selfless devotion, has certainly influenced its destinies. Mei-ling (literally — Beautiful life) Soong, the youngest of the Soong sisters was horn in IJWJi. The eldest Ai-ling (Friendly life) married Dr. H. H. Kung, long-time Minister of Finance. She was grave, elficient, and strong willed. The second, Chiug-ling I Happy life) was the idealist, the incarnation of the spirit of her late husband Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, founder of the Chinese Republic. She was prettier than her sisters, but lonely, shy and reticent. Mei-ling was the outstanding personality of the three, slender, viva- cious, brilliantly able. The family history was rather remarkable. From the island of Hainan, off the south coast of China, came Charlie Soong, the father of the three sisters. In his heart there contended the love of China as she was and the dream of China as she might be. Leaving Hainan as a boy, Charlie Soong came to the United States in 1880. An American became interested in him and sent him to school. He completed his education, became a CJirislian, was given an English Theological (Certificate, and returned to (ihiiia to become a teacher and make his dreams come true. Subsequently he married Miss Ni, member of a cultured Chinese family, and, with her help, founded the Chinese Y.M.C.A. All his children were educated in America, and they never forgot that they must learn all that would help them in their future work in their native land. From her tenth to her nineteenth year Mei-ling Soong lived in the United States. Like her older sisters she studied at Wellesley College, Massachusetts, where she decided to major in English literature, and minor in Philosophy, and as well studied French, piano and violin in all four years. She graduated in 1917, being the first woman student from the Orient to be awarded the twin scholarship o( Wellesley and Durant, the high- est academic honour offered by the college. As a child, Mei-ling longed to be a boy so that she could do more to build a new and better China. Wellesley ' s tradition and teaching, expressed in the college motto non ministrari se l niinistrare set its seal on her life ' s purpose. She returned to her native land, a girl of liarely twenty-one, anxious to serve the new and growing democracy. She found a native teacher and learned to speak, read and write Chinese. Gradually she adopted Chinese dress, and found her place as a member of the distinguished Soong family in Shanghai. Not actively concerned with politics, she threw herself into social service work, investigating child labour and factory conditions. In 1922 she met the Generalissimo, at that time one of the trusted disciples of her brother-in-law, Sim Yat-Sen, and the most important military man of the country. 169 Chiang Kai-Shek was Heveral y(-arH IVI i-linf; ' K wiiior, and a rt l contrail to Ix-r in every way. He was cold, wilciil, j)ra ' ti ' al, riillili-nK; Mei-ling waH vivacious and HenHitive. Neverthelesss the two Cell in love. But tlic Soon(i family ohjc ;ted to the romance of its youngest daughter with tlie anihitious young general, in the first place, tiie .SoongH were all Christian, and (Chiang Kai-Shek was a Buddhist and already divorced. Before long, however, the soldier had followed Mei-ling ' s forniidahle mothe r to Japan, and finally won her consent to the marriage. The gay comfortable life of Shanghai was left behind, and Mei-ling went with her husband on his campaigns for unifying ( hina. Their quarters were what they could find — thatched huts, railway stations, farm houses. Three years after their marriage her husband became a Christian. Under Mei-ling ' s influence the war-lord ' s hard-headed ruthless ambitions were curbed and redirected, and the desire for a united China changed from a mere political conception to a crusade. She founded the New Life Movement, which has been such an important factor in the social awakening of China from the lethargic state into which the people had naturally drifted as a result of centuries of Manchu domination, oppression and neglect. The aims were symbolized by four Chinese characters, representing the ancient virtues of courtesy, service, honesty and honour. The movement spread rapidly, and, by the end of 1935, many experts were at work in various fields, bringing new life and improvement to the masses. Substantial beginning had been made in the work of building a new China when the Japanese invaded the country in 1937, and mercilessly slaughtered the population by bombs, bullets and bayonets. Great areas of the country were ravaged and destroyed, and, as the enemy pushed up the Yangtze River towards the new capital of Nanking, catastrophe hung all over the land. Madame ' s work of interpreting the East to the West was suddenly intensified a thousand times. In the intervals between relief work, — succouring the wounded, caring for war orphans and refugees — she wrote long articles for American papers, which had a tremendous influence in arousing sympathy for her country in its fight against Japan. In 1940 she published two books, China in Peace and War and This is Our China , describing in vivid detail her country and her people; their philosophy of life; their self-sacrifice and courage in defense of their soil; and their capacity to endure. She has made many speeches in her life. Her beautiful English voice has surprised many radio listeners. But it was in February last, before the United States ' Senate, who, in the words of the Speaker, were delighted to receive and do honour to one of the outstanding women of all the earth, that she made her most inspiring and deeply moving ap|)eal. The slim, straight figure, in a black Chinese gown, with a still face and deep dark eyes, walked down the aisle of the Senate Chamber and took her place at the rostrum. It was an unique occasion. Much thought had gone into her speech: her work, her knowledge and understanding of America and lier steadfast faith in the I 70 I future. But above all, China was in it — the tragedy of her native land; the ancient heritage; the cruelties and ruthlessness of the invader; the martyred cities; the burnt homes; the charred and niullihiled l)odies; the orphans; the refugees; the courage and endurance of ihe Chinese [leoph ' ; the need for lielp in ihe tasks llial lie ahead. She spoke as an equal witli that pride and humility, which are the grace of personality. It was a triumph of character. No wonder the Senators, contrary to habit, rose to their feet and applauded. And there we must leave her — bravely fighting the battle of civilization against a revival of barbarism, looking beyond the discouragements of the present to the hope of a greater future, for (.hina ' s cause is the cause of the democracies of the world. M. MiTHAM, I ' orni VI A, Ross House. A GLIMPSE OF SHANGHAI SHANGHAI was before the war the fifth largest port in the world. It is a city of nearly four million people of all creeds and nationalities; in Shanghai is represented nearly every country of the world for it is very cosmopolitan. There was a large French concession with its schools, police force, fire brigade, and public works department, all governed by its own council. Similarly there was an International Settlement in which counsellors represented the British, American, Japanese, and Chinese numerically in that order. Among the principal foreign schools are the British Cathedral Girls ' School and Cathedral Boys ' School; the mixed Public Schools, for girls and for boys, run by the Municipal Council; the American school, also coeducational. Kaiser Wilhelm Schule, German; and Russian and French schools. There are also foreign-run Chinese schools. It is a very modern city with its houses and gardens, department stores, apartment houses, and large business buildings. The main business section of Shanghai is the Biuid and district. The Bund is the water front of the city and all the buildings overlook [71] the river where craft of every deHcription may be seen, from war-shipH and ocean liners to junks and little river sampamH of minute size. Sliarifiliai consists of many (Ihinese villaj es, the International .Settlement and French (concession. ' J he vast majority of .shops are, of course, (Chinese. And now for the life of the chief inhabitants, the Chinese. Over a period of years, a few of the Chinese have developed a sort of P ' jnfilish called Pidf in Kn};;lish, which is, in some cases, a literal translation of (Chinese inlo Kuf lisli. Some of tlieir (ixpressions are most strange. One of the shop signs I saw which was a tailor ' s said in English: Ladies may have fits upstairs ! another said, We sell artful furniture ! Housework is of course done by servants, the chief of them being the Boy who serves at the table and cooks, unless a cook is also employed. He also does the lighter housework. The Coolies do the rougher housework, and the Amahs who are women, look after the children and wash and iron. Going along a typical Chinese street you would see many sights unfamiliar to our way of living. In one corner yovi would probably see a customer sitting on a stool with a bowl of hot water beside him. A barber would be cutting his hair and shaving him or shaving his head which gives the familiar shiny appearance seen in pictures. After this performance he would probably clean his ears out with a spoon-like instrument. From each shop in the street would hang a banner telling the name of the shop, and advertising its wares. The banners are long narrow coloured strips and the effect is very gay. The travelling kitchen which would be next seen i s carried by one man with a bamboo stick across his shoulder. One container would have a stove and steaming food in it, the other, all the utensils. Sitting on a step would be an old woman smoking a long stemmed pipe with a very small bowl. It is only old women and men one sees smoking these queer pipes. Not many gray-haired men and women are seen, although there are many bald-headed old women, and some bald old men. Chinamen are often pictured in pigtails but there is actually a law against wearing them, as pigtails are sup- posed to represent the old regime. The only time I have ever seen one was on an old farmer; otherwise the men ' s hair remains very short or shaved. Also representing the old regime are the tiny feet of the older women. When small children their mothers band- aged their feet making them horribly deformed. Having small feet was supposed to be dainty and they were referred to as lily feet but actually they are so deformed they look like small hoofs making it extremely awkward for these poor women to walk. Proving that they like birds, the Chinese have many bird stores, and they take their birds out for airings, usually carrying the cage on the palm of the hand. Although they are fond of birds, they do not care much for dogs or cats, or indeed any other animals. A tall sinewy man would trot down the street pulling after him a rickshaw. This vehicle is very common and foreigners as well as Chinese use them. Private rickshaws are owned and childrer are sometimes transported to school in them. The Chinese man is dressed in a long robe with long black trousers iniderneath and a short coat on lop. in the winter iIh natives wear several layers of clothing — som e- I 72 I times as many as seven coats. The long coat is quilted and lined with wadding. As the weather becomes warmer the clothes are gradually discarded and in the case of many of the poorer people are stored in the pawn shop. Next winter when they take the clothes out there is an epidemic of smallpox or some such disease. The women of the upper classes wear long straight tube-like robes with the sides slit up to the knee. The poorer classes wear short jackets witli long pants. The boys and girls wear similar clothes to the men and women. Because it is a large city, Shanghai attracts many beggars, a number of them pro- fessional. There are many wealthy Chinese but there are also thousands of poverty- stricken ones — in one cold night 200 beggars were found dead. Police trucks go around every morning collecting bodies. Going along to school it was a common sight to see dead babies with their heads and feet sticking out of straw matting. Their parents were so poor that they could not afford a small coffin and they put them there for the police to pick up and bury. The Salvation Army has done excellent work during the winter months providing food for the poor. Funerals appear peculiar to our eyes. The mourners are dressed in long white robes with white bands around their heads. They usually carry silver paper objects which represent money and are burnt before the gods for the man ' s soul. Professional weepers are employed and they make such a noise screaming and wailing that you have to cover your ears. In the country districts grave mounds are very common. One coffin is covered with soil and then others are added forming a small hill. These are all over the country side and take up room in the fields. The old style weddings are so expensive that they are very seldom seen nowadays. A vmiformed band leads the procession and people dressed in brightly coloured clothes follow. After that come men and women in weird masks and the bride ' s wedding chair carried by coolies is at last seen, but owing to the fact that the chair is so thickly curtained one is unable to see the bride. Sometimes she has never seen her husband but everything is arranged by their parents. There were many sporting activities. Shanghai possess two race courses, a grey- hound racing course, two golf courses, and numerous clubs of all descriptions. The weather in the summer is very hot and humid and many people go away to Japan or North China for their holidays. The foreign men wear white suits from May to October and the women of course, wear suitable light clothing. Rickshaw and other c oolie class men frequently wear their trousers rolled high above the knee and their cotton vests rolled up under their arms, in order to cool their bodies as much as possible. The winter is very mild, there being about one snowfall a year which melts imme- diately, although occasionally very cold winds are experienced. I have tried to describe life in Shanghai as I saw it giving some of the character- istics of the Chinese and the manners and customs of their daily life which are of interest to the foreigner. Margaret Pickering, Form IVb, Fairley House, [73] RETURN TO THE PHILIPPINES IIR I raiiH-l ' acific croHsiiig, willi ilK llircc- wcckK of en j  yal)l - slii[ -l ( iir l life and V ' iiiterestiiifi; ilay stop-overs in Honolulu, ports in .|a| an and (diina, a|)|)roa(-lir ' d il8 end llie second uiornififj out o( Houfikonfi. Our first sifrlit that iiiefru rahlc- niornin ; was Corregidor guarding the entrajice to Manila Bay. J went y miles distant, at tlie head of the bay, lay our destination, Manila, main port and capital of the Philippines. The liner docked at the longest pier in the worhl, pier number seven in Manila holding that distinction. My frierul, Nancy, experienced the thrill and interest of a first arrival in a foreign country, with its strange sights and customs and people. It had a different appeal to me, as I was horn in the Philippines and had spent my childhood there. Our first evening was spent at the Polo (]lub with friends who helped us to perfect the tentative plans we had for our stay. As the Philippine group is composed of more than seven thousand islands and has a population of seventeen million, we could not expect to see more than a small portion of it, but two principal trips were decided upon — a week in the mountain resort at Baguio and two weeks for a trip to the Southern islands. During the days we made our headquarters in Manila, we visited a number of unique places of interest. One was the Walled City in the heart of Manila; and another, a shrine which was original in having a pipe organ constructed of bamboo. A visit to one of the large sugar centrals was interesting and instructive. We also saw split shell being manufactured into attractive lamp shades and trays, and into the opaque windows that are used in the Philippines, instead of glass. We decided to drive to Baguio by car and so see the two hundred and forty kilo- meters of country side at close hand. We found this to be most interesting, and we also enjoyed the ride up the picturesque thirty kilometer mountain trail to Baguio, which is located at an elevation of 4200 feet. One cannot visualize a more delightful mountain resort, and the sharp contrast between its temperature and the heat of the lowlands is astonishing. In Baguio one sees the same vegetation and flowers as flourish in Canada. The climate is temperate, with mild frost occasionally in the cool season. The name Baguio in the local dialect means a place of heavy storms . An official rainfall record shows it to have been well named, the Observatory having recorded a fall of forty-six inches in twenty-four hours. In Baguio I met several of my old friends who were up, as is customary, for the ten weeks of hot season, and renewing these old friendships added greatly to the pleasure of our visit. Baguio is solely a hot season resort and the seat of Government during lhal period, hul ihe nu)unlains around it are sites of many profit produchig g(dd mines. [74] We flew back to Manila, and embarked on our trip to the Southern Islands, which included a day ' s stop-over at Cebu, Iloilo, Zaniboang;a and Jolo. Cebu and Iloilo are busy industrial centres in the lieart of the principal sufjar district and, as such, did not hold the interest for us whicii other cities did. Zamboanga is a delightful city, well deserving its name Pearl of the Orient . Stepping ashore here held a special interest for me, as Zamboanga was my birthplace. I was indeed home , in the midst of friends and memories of my childhood. With its well tended gardens and luxuriant tropical growth, and absence of the commercial bustle of the cities in the north, Zamboanga presents a delightful picture of the tropics. The sunsets were glorious here, with colouring beyond words to describe. It was at sunset hour that the Moro fishermen silently pushed out their outrigger vintas for their night ' s fishing, and the multi-coloured sails of these small craft against the vivid sun- sets made pictures never to be forgotten. Jolo was our next port of call. Here Moros, a belligerent people, predominate. The old dilapidated Chinese Pier is the centre of a wealth of stories of piratical days. Even when Nancy and I were there, as our car passed the gate from the city to take us inland, the Constabulary recorded our names, placed an armed guard in the car and gave us a revolver. We almost decided to abandon the trip, but as a foreigner cannot aff ' ord to lose face with the natives we proceeded, grimly determined to give a good account of ourselves should occasion arise. We saw more wild tropical jungle and wilder native life that day than on any other of our trip, but experienced no disturbing incident. It is in Jolo that most of the juramentados incidents occur — religious fanatics who run amok. A juramentado ' s belief is that if he succeeds in killing a Christian, or better still, several of them, before he is killed, his place in his conception of his hereafter is assured. After having seen Moros along the jungle roads with their murderous barongs, one could easily believe that when a juramentado cry is raised one ' s only thought would be to seek shelter with the utmost celerity. Manila again completed our visit to the Philippines. My feelings on sailing morning were diff icult to analyse. I was regretful over having to sever old friendships again, yet I was looking forward to the homeward trip and the reunions with my family and friends of my school days. I had two homes in my thoughts — one of my childhood and one of my youth. As we steamed into the setting sun that evening, with Manila fading behind us in the gathering dusk, I had a premonition that I would return. Will the years bring me this pleasure, other than in my dreams? Quien sabe! Dorothy McClelland, VIa, Barclay House. [75] PRESIDENT ' S REPORT 1942-1943 I have the honour to submit tlie sixth annual report of the Trafalgar Ohl Girls ' Association. This year we have held a garden party, two general meetings, six Executive meet- ings, one special Executive meeting for the Dance, and our annual dinner meeting. The year just past has been particvilarly bvisy for the Association as the new Execu- tive functioned immediately after the last annual meeting instead of in the Fall as is customary. At that dinner Miss Bryan ' s resignation was announced and the Association was most anxious to hoxiour this fine educationalist who had been connected with Trafalgar for so many years. It was decided to hold a Garden Party in the school garden the Saturday following the closing. The weather was kind to us and the setting was ideal for the many old girls and staff who came to bid Miss Bryan farewell. During the afternoon Miss Bryan was presented with a Greek Lexicon, suitably bound and in- scribed, as a memento of the deep affection and respect all Trafalgar Old Girls feel for her. Just previovis to the school closing several of the Executive appeared at school Prayers and presented a framed portrait of Miss Bryan to the school to hang in the Sixth Form classroom. Winnifred Kydd made the presentation which was accepted by the Head Girl. At the first general meeling of our Association in llie Fall, Miss Bryan was elected an Honorary member and in writing to thank us said that this would make her feel that she was a part of the school. The first general me eting of the Association took place in November in llie school drawing room. This was an evening meeling with a business session first and refresh- ments later. Reports were read by all Committees followed by election of new con- venors and Committee members where necessary. I woidd like here to stress the excel- lent work done by these committees. The greater part of the activities of the Association is carried on by them, and each one functions under its Convenor without requiring any assistance from the President or the Executive. The Canteen (Committee has kept up the high standard set by Trafalgar girls on Sundays in tb( Red Triangle Hut, and has enlisted new volunteers both as workers and caplaiuH. 176] The Scholarship Committee looks after all husiness conncclcd with administering and financinfi ihe scholarship, a very important piece of work. The Memhership Committee has made a revised list of all paid-up members and has a card index system which tries to list all old girls of the school. Any information regarding change of name or address, whether members are receiving their notices, or other (h lails would be a[ preciale l by the Conunitlee. The Magazine Commillec suggested last year was formed at this meeting and it has collected malerial for the Association pages in the Magazine. Al this meeting a discussion was held as to ways and means to increase the Scholar- ship Fund account so as to purchase a second $.500.00 Victory Bond in May. The Scholarship Connnittee put forward a motion, which was passed, to hold a Drawing for a sketch donated by Nora CoUyer and a hand-turned salad bowl donated by Alice Joliannsen and made by her sister. Tickets were to be sold during the winter, and the Drawing to take place at the general meeting in the spring. The second general meeting of the Association was held in February, again in tl.ie school drawing room, in the evening. There was a very short business session, a pro- gramme, refreshments, and the Drawing for the Scholarship fund. The programme started with a Quiz ai)oul the school and its history, past and present, between a team of the staff, and one of old girls. The staff had an overwhelming victory — and two members of their team who could nol be downed were awarded tickets for the drawing. Next Rhoda Wurteic described the experiences of the t anadian team which went to the Lake Placid Ski meet. Four members of this team were Trafalgar girls. The chief speaker of the evening was Chief-Officer Betty Samuel from Ottawa who is on loan from the W.R.N.S. to help organize the W.R.C.N.S. She was a charming and cultured Englishwoman who described life in the Wrens here and in the Old Country. Miss Foster, Miss Cumming, Miss Brown, Miss Field and the present staff were our guests at this meeting. During refreshments Miss Cumming and Miss Foster drew the winning numbers for the prizes which brought in the creditable sum of $114.00 to add to the Scholarship fund. The first dance ever held in Trafalgar was given in January by the Trafalgar Old Girls ' Association for the graduating sixth forms, and for last year ' s sixths. Because of war conditions arrangements were kept vey simple, but the dance from all accounts was an outstanding success. Representatives of the Board of Governors and the staff were our guests during the evening. The gymnasium was an attractive sight with flags, coloured lights, the formal dresses of the girls and quite a sprinkling of uniforms. As it seems likely that this dance will take a place in the school calendar the Executive recommends that it be made to a large extent self-supporting, though sponsored by the Association. In February your President and two members of the Association were asked to meet with representatives of the Board of Governors and Miss Foster to discuss matters of interest to the school and to exchange ideas. This meeting proved most helpful in every way as each person present tried to advance suggestions which would benefit olir school and increase its prestige in the years to come. [77] Arising from tins tnoelinf a cornniunicution was received from llic Moar ) of Governors offerin} us a fj;ifl of SSO.OO lo start our k(; :oii(J Seliolarhlii j if we fell that we could carry tlie two a year from llieii on. After much (JiseuHsion at tlie g(; ieral meeting in March the Association decided to accept tliis g ;nerou8 ofJer. I must impress upon you that tliis is going to entail great effort on everyone ' s part to huild up our Scholarship Fund. It could he done through fees — one dollar of which each year goes to the fund — if only our paid-up memhership would keep up. But in spite of better attendance at general meetings the memhership has dropped again this year to 116, a decrease of forty from last year. A small part of this may be negligence but mostly it is due to an understandable cutting out of non-essential spending in these difficult years. But have you stopped to think how much your two dollars a year accomplishes? Your dollar that goes to the Scholarship Fund as quickly as possible is converted into Victory Loan bonds, thereby serving a double purpose. As this Scholar- ship honours Miss Cumming ' s long years of service, it is unthinkable that it should ever fail for lack of support. Then each member of the Association receives a copy of the school magazine and there is no better way to keep in touch with the present school, or with old friends than through our Association pages. The balance goes to running expenses and to such incidental expenses as may arise. If we can carry on through the war years we should be a very strong organization in peace time and I ask everyone to co-operate to the best of their ability, to keep up their interest in the meetings, and to pay those fees even though it hurts. ! In closing I wish to voice my appreciation to Miss Foster and to Miss Randall for their unfailing interest and co-operation at all times. I would like to say how much I have enjoyed being associated with the Executive who have given me every possible support, and have one and all worked in a most capable and cheerful manner. I hope that our year ' s work has been of benefit to the Association and that we have lived up to the purpose of our Constitution: To promote the interests, influence and usefulness of the school and its graduates. Respectfully submitted, Margaret T. Anderson.

Did you hear about the irl who tele- phoned Information to ask, Is my lip showing? Such a flutter-brain isn ' t as rare as you might think. In Montreal, four out of every five calls to Information service are for nvimbers already listed in the directory. These unnecessary calls waste the sub- scriber ' s own time; she is using two calls to do the work of one. They keep her line busy when it may be needed for impor- tant incoming calls. Above all, they tie up exchange equipment which is needed for vital war business. That ' s why telephone users are being asked to look first in the directory when they wish to find a number. If it isn ' t listed, Information is still available. ♦ Compliments of Canadian Bronze Company, Limited MONTREAL Telephone MArquette 9381 BURTON ' S LIMITED booksellers Stationers DOMINION SQUARE BUILDING 1004 St. Catherine Street West MONTREAL I
