We offer our felicitations to those Old Girls who have achieved so much in the skiing field, particularly the Wurtele twins, Margaret and Dorothy Burden, and Joan Staniforth, who represented Canada at Pico Peak. At t})e Inter-Scholastic Ski Meet this year Trafalgar ' s First and Second Teams took third place. The rivalry that accompanies House activities seems to have reached a new peak, and this term the Fairley members are rejoicing in their ability to hold a narrow margin of points over Ross. The success of Fairley is due partly to its lead in the Dramatic Competition, held in November, and judged this year by Mrs. Sadler. Particularly out- standing has been the Red Cross work, now under the capable supervision of Miss Stansfield. The members of the Sixth Form would like to assure the Old Girls ' Association of their gratitude for the Dance, the success of which has been acclaimed by all. In the same strain we congratulate the many Old Girls who were members of last year ' s Sixth Form, and who attained favourable results in the McGill examinations, in particular, Jane Hildebrand, winner of the Trafalgar Scholarship. We wish good luck to all of the form who have gone on to McGill. It is appropriate to mention here that the work of last year ' s Prefects in enhancing the attractive appearance of the Prefects ' Room has ever been a source of great pleasure to their successors. The number of Overseas Guests who came to us during the first years of the war has fast been decreasing. In recent months many have returned to their homes in Eng- land or France, and it is known that still others expect to leave in the near future. To all these we wish a pleasant voyage and happy reunions, and we hope that we may some day renew those friendships that have grown out of the war. Those of us who are in our last year of school would like to leave with those who follow some understanding of our inexpressible feelings of gratitude to all who are a part of Trafalgar. We shall leave confident that they will receive the same understand- ing and guidance that we have experienced during our years at Traf , and we wish those who follow in our steps every success in the coming year. A flower unblown; a book unread; A tree with fruit unharvested; A path untrod; a house whose rooms Lack the heart ' s divine perfumes; A landscape whose wide border lies In silent shade ' neath silent skies; A casket with its gifts concealed — This is the Year that for you waits Beyond tomorrow ' s mystic gates . In conclusion, the Magazine Staff would like to thank Miss MacGachen for her very valuable aid in the compiling of this edition. We further extend our thanks to all those wlio hav 5 helpcMl nialerially in its publicalion, and ho|) liuil you enjoy reading this year ' s Mag as much as we have en joyed taking part in its preparation.

LITERARY TO SPRING Arise, glad Spring, from thy sweet earthen bed! And dream no more of glorious days gone by; Delight and fantasy exist no more, But in dark graves of spite and malice lie. Put on thy robe of perfumed ecstasy. Bring light to brighten hearts with sorrow scarred. And souls, whose one rejoicing lies in thee; Thy joy alone by human hate unmarred. Cast off thy hoary coverlet of snow; Begem our earth with crystal drops of rain; Bring forth thy glowing grace to grief-dimmed eyes. Free from the taint of horror ' s ghostly stain. Gentle Spring, inspire the heart of Man, And let thy fragrant power kill his wrath That thine own bower, home of a joyful peace. Become forever more his rightful path. Ann Taylor, Senior School Certificate, Barclay House.
