Her Majesty was overjoyed, for, in those days everyone wore stockings made of woollen cloth. Thus was a new fashion born. Since the day of silk, however, science has wrought miracles in the creation of so-called high tenacity yarns whose inherent beauty and tensile strength are making possible previously un- dreamed-of visions of loveliness. Of these recent developments, the luxur- ious Nylon stockings have captured feminine hearts throughout the world, and tomorrow ' s creations hold promise of incomparable beauty and wear. And in those days, as at the present moment, ORIENT Beauti-Skin Hos- iery will continue to hold their place as the world ' s most beautiful stockings.

To celebrate the occasion, arious excnls took [)Kicc ilurin|z the day. Tlie niorniii ' : of October tlie t veiit -first was an ollicial holiday. A special ser ice was held in tiie hall at nine o ' clock. Miss Foster presided, and Arch- deacon Gower-Rees and Dr. Donald took pan In the service. After the singing of a bvnni. Dr. Donalil read from the fifth chapter of St. Matthew. Archdeacon Gower-Rees then spoke briefly, his theme being based on two words — Think and Thank . He followed this with prayers for the founders of the School and for those who iuul contribiitcil in making it what it is today, for Miss Foster and the members of the Stafl . and for the Old (rirls. Miss Brown, who was a teacher at Trafalgar from ];! ' () iinlil i ' 2(), and who since then has taken a ery acti e interest in the Scliool. ilu n s|)okc on the founding and histor of Trafalgar Institute . Following Miss Brown ' s address. Miss Foster read greetings from various friends of Trafalgar. Miss Bryan, Miss Bedford-.) ones and Miss Randall, who have all been members of the Staff, sent their best wishes, as did Miss MacSporran, on behalf of Miss Edgar ' s and Miss Gramp ' s School, and Miss Gannell on behalf of Netherwood Scliool. A closing prayer followed. After this service, the actual lu)lida connncnced. In the afternoon an at iiome was held in the House from four to half-past six o ' clock. Parents of Trafalgar pupils. Old Girls, and friends of the School were all invited. Miss Foster, Archdeacon Gower-Rees, Gbairman of the Board of Governors, and Dr. Donald, past Chairman of the Board, received in the drawing-room. In the dining-room, members of the Staff poured tea and coffee, while the Prefects assisted in serving. Here and in the drawing-room, the tables were decorated with chrysanthemimis, roses and snap-dragons. Between two and three hundred guests were present at the tea. The day ended w ith a dinner of the Old Girls ' Association, which was held at seven o ' clock in the scliool gymnasium. The gviest speaker on this occasion was Mrs. Bryson. the former Jane Howard, a Trafalgar Old Girl. In the fifteen years to come, before the next great event in the history of our School, her seventy -fifth anniversary , it is our wish that Trafalgar will be as successful in upholding her high standards before the eyes of all Canada as she has been in the past. [13] THE GAZETTE, MONTREAL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1947. A LL OUR YESTERDAYC By EDGAR ANDREW COLLARD 60fh ANNIVERSARY OF TRAFALGAR SCHOOL Next Tuesday, Trajalgar Day, the Trafalgar School in Montreal will coniniernorate its 60th anniversary . For this occasion Miss Martha L. Brown, who was for many years a member of the school ' s teaching staff, has prepared the following historical sketch of the school and the properties with which it has been connected. Service of Commemorafion A service of commemoration was held in the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, at 11 a.m., on Trafal- gar Day, October 21, 1937, the 50th anniversary of Trafalgar School. Rev. Dr. George Donald, Chairman of the Board of Governors, assisted by Ven. Archdeacon Almond, con- ducted the service, which was at- tended by the whole school, and many old girls and friends. This was followed by a luncheon in the assembly hall of the school, also attended by many old girls and friends, some of whom travelled a long distance, in order to be present. On this 60th anniversary, a morn- ing service will be held in the assembly hall of the school, on Tra- falgar Day, Tuesday, October 21, and the Lad3 ' Principal and the Governors of the school will be at home to all parents, old girls and friends of the school from 4-6.30 p.m., in the drawing rooms of the school residence. In the evening t he Old Girls ' Association will entertain at a buffet supper. A short outline of the first 50 years of the school appeared in these columns some months ago. On this 60th anniversary it seems fitting that what was then written should be supplemented. During the past ten years changes have taken place in the school, as well as in the world at large. Miss Janet L. Gumming, who retired in 1940, having been Principal for 23 years, passed away in January, 1946, in Victoria, B.C., where she was buried. On the day of her funeral, a memorial service was held in the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, Montreal, conducted by the Ven. Archdeacon A. P. Gower-Rees. The school girls at- tended in a body, and many old girls and friends were present. Miss E. K. Bryan, Vice-Principal, resigned in 1942, to become Head Mistress of Crofton House School, in Vancouver, B.C., and Miss Gertrude Randall, house matron, retired after 22 years of faithful service. Rev. Dr. George Donald, Chair- man of the Board of Governors, resigned in 1946, after 21 years of service. He was at all times a wise counsellor and a warm friend. He was succeeded by Ven. Archdeacon Gower-Rees, who is also a devoted friend of the school. ' The school has had five principals in its 60 vears: Miss Grace Fairley, M.A., Edinburgh, 1887-1913; Miss Charlotte Hardy, B.A. (Mrs. Gar- side), 1913-1915; Miss Mary E. Wind- sor M.A., 1915-1917; Miss Janet L. Gumming, L.L.A., St. Andrews, 1917- 1940; Miss Joan M. V. Foster, M.A., McGill and Oxford, Ph.D., Bryn Mawr, 1940-. ★ ★ ★ Old Trafalgar Property Trafalgar Institute, as the school was first called, was founded and endowed by the late Mr. Donald Ross, a wealthy Scotsman, who owned a fine estate, ' Viewmount , on Cote des Neiges.The Canadian Horticultur- al Magazine, 1898, says: At ' View- mount ' , terraces were laid out by Mr. Peter Lowe, head gardener of Spencer Wood, Quebec. A wide ave- nue, bordered with flowering plants, curved from the entrance gate to the house. The property then extended back over the Mountain, where large conservatories contained orange trees, md tropical plants, and azaleas, wis- teria and camelias, the fashionable .lowers of the period, all vmder the superx ' ision of Mr. John Nairn Wooded cliffs, adjoining Mt. Royal Park, formed the background of this property. The original grey stone ' ouse still stands. No. 4005 Cote des Neiges. Mr. Ross bought property on the south-eastern slope of what is now known as the Westmoimt Mountain, near the old Trafalgar Tower , which had been built in 1805 to com- memorate the victorv of Trafalgar, and ODpo ' ite his old home View- mount . He had intended to build a [14] gills ' school there, to be culled Ross Institute , but, because of the his- torical associations, he changed the name to Trafalgar Institute . He died in 1S77. leaving the matter of building in the hands of his executors. The purpose of his bequest was, as he expressed it, to qualify young per- sons for discharging, in the best man- ner, such duties as ordinarily devoh e upon the female sex . In 1S81. the Trafalgar property was placeil under the care of Ir. John Nairn, who had been gardener at Viewmount for 20 years. Tiie ex- ecutors transferred to this property a collection of plants which formerly adorned the Viewmount ' gardens. In 1890 the grounds and greenhouses were rented to McCiill University, to be used as botanical gardens. Professor Penhallow and Professor Carrie Derick took many groups of young men am! young women to those gardens for botanical lectures, and resident pupils of Trafalgar often went there to enjoy the beauty of the gardens, anil the fine view. In 1901 the proi erfy was sold, and is now tra- versed by ' cstmount Boulevard. ★ ★ ★ Chalderfon Lodge hen Rev. Dr. James Barclay came to Montreal in 1883, as minister of St. Paul ' s Presbyterian Church, he interested Sir Donald Smith (Lord Strathcona) wiio donated -SSCOOO. and with a legacy of .S16.000 from Miss Ann Scott, added to Mr. Ro.-s ' bequest, the trustees, at once, pre- pared to erect, or acquire a school building. The school could not be built on the Tral ' aigar property, as Sir Donald Smith had stipulated that it should be within the city limits, so a fine residential property was bought on Simpson street, and in 1887 the residential and day school opened in its present quarters. The land on which the school was built, had been part of a large farm, owned by Hertel de Rouville and Boucher de Boucherxille. The pro- perty was owned successively by Sir Alexander Mackenzie, the explorer. Sir George Simpson, of the Hudson ' s Bay Company (hence the name Simpson street) and by Adjutant Cleneral Wetherall. who built the liresent residence, calling it Chalder- ton Lodge , a small replica of his old home in England. The grounds, which comprised four acres, with coach house, kitchen, garden and stables, extended to Redpath street. When General Wetherall returned to England in 1850. the property was bought by Mrs. Philip Holland. The next owner was Mr. Henry Thomas, and finally it was bought by Mr. Alexander Mitchell. The grounds on the Redpath street side were then .■;old for building lots, and the pro- perty was reiluced to its present size. In the early days families in the dis- trict tlrew water from a .small jirivati reser oir on the mountain. Whi n drain pipes weie laiil on Simpson street, soliil rock had to bo blastcil for the luupose. Mr. Mitchell sold the proi)erty to the trustees for a very moderate sum in 1887. and the buikling was used as residential and day school till 1902 when a new day school was erected, to which a large addition was made in 1914. The original build- ing (Cieneral Welherall ' s ChakU-r- ton Lodge ) is still the residential school. Sittings are retained for the resident pupils, in the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul (Probylerian) and in St. George ' s Anglican Church, ★ ★ ★ The Corporafion Mr. Ross foresaw the I rend of modern education when he pro id(-d scholarships for the daughters of the Protestant clergx-, especiall ' those of Presbyterian ministers. When the late IVIiss Fairley retired in 1913, her old pupils founded the ' Grace Fair- ley Trafalgar Scholarship , at McCiill, in her honor, and durinir the hist few years the members of ' The Old Girls ' .Association ha e established two scholarships for entrance to Form III, ;ind hope to add to the number. It may interest old friend.s to read the names of members of the original corporation (Act of Incorporation, 1871). Their successors in office were to constitute the corporations of the future. 1. Mr. Donald Ross. 2. Principal of McGill University, Montreal, (Sir) J. Wm. Dawson, LL.D. 3. Principal of Queen ' s University, Kingston, Veiv Re ' . Wm. Snodgrass, D.D. 4. The Archdeacon of Montreal, Ven. W. T. Leach. LL.D. 5. The Minister of St. Paul ' s Pres- byterian Church. Rev. John Jenkins, D.D. 6. The Minister of St. Andrew ' s Church (Church of Scotland), Rev. Gavin Lang. 7. Rev. Donald Ross, B.D., Chat- ham. 8. Mr. Alexander Mitchell, St. Andrew ' s Church. 9. Mr. Alexander Macpherson, St. Paul ' s Church. It is very interesting to note that the great great granddaughter of Archdeacon Leach, Philippa Hansard, is a pupil in the school today. [15] MISS MacGACHEN It is with great pleasure that we present in our magazine a picture of Miss Freda MacGachen, tvho from 1940 until 1947 taught English to the senior classes at Trafalgar, and was for three years a very capable Honorary Adviser on the Staff of the magazine. At Trafalgar, Miss MacGachen became greatly esteemed by all those with whom she came in contact, and each one of us felt a personal loss in her resignation last June. Although she is no longer on the Staff of Trafalgar, Miss MacGachen nevertheless keeps up her interest in the school. As proof of this, she very kindly consented to judge the senior literary section of this year ' s magazine. The Staff and students of Trafalgar extend their very best wishes to Miss MacGachen for succecs and happiness in the future; and in appreciation for all that she has given us, we offer simply, Thank you . [16] EDITORIAL THIS vear. rralaliiar has takt-ii another titep into the lutiire — aiul you have helped her to take that step, lor Trafalgar is as imieh a part of you as you are a part of Trafalgar. Vi hether. through your eftort, that tep has been hold and meritable. or. through Nour huk of eH ' ort. faltering and weak, you alone can answer. As the world travels in an orbit, an orbit eontrolled by wonderful forces, so a great coinitrv, eitv, anil institution ha e their orl)ils, and so ha e Trafalgar and vou. Just as Nour home, interests, and friends are our world, your orbit, so vou are a part of the orbit of Trafalgar, and just as one of these failing you fills ou with untold pain, so your breaking faith with Trafalgar ' s expectations of vou. aflects her mortally. The personalities wliieh constitute a boily of people are inevitably diverse, and thev must be diverse if that group is to have colour, imagination, and a future. Our school is no exception. Trafalgar has its illustrious members — those with outstaiuling talents, abilities, and leadership qualities. But she has also, in common with all other great institutions, her little people , and to be a success she nuist ha%e these little people . Most of us enter into this class. The strength of a avv is estinuited by the quality of the ratings, not by that of a few distinguished officers, and if Trafalgar is to go on as successfully and as profitablv in the future as she has tlone in the past, it is up to us — her ratings — to see that her high standards reign supreme throughout every incident in our lives here at Trafalgar. X e must not allow ourselves to think that because something was yesterday, it will be tomorrow. Too many people have thought that recently, and, as a result, the world is suffering unbelievably. Also we cannot leave the task to our few leaders, for they can achieve nothing alone. They can but show the w ay — it is up to lis to follow that way through to the end. If we are to be true upholders of the standards of Trafalgar, we must realize that each one of us counts vitally. The least of our thoughts and actions can affect our school — it is ours to decide w hether that effect w ill be injurious or beneficial. Ahead of us all lies a precarious future. The path we shall have to take is imcertain and will demand cautious stepping. By applying all of our efforts now to gather together what knowledge we can, we shall find, in the unsure days ahead, that that learning has been transformed into what will give us immeasur- able courage — it will have become the foundation of a physical, moral, and mental strength that will never leave us. We shall realize, when that time comes, the profound truth of the statement — In keeping yourself with labour, y ou are in truth loving life — And to love life is to be intimate with life ' s inmost secret . — Do you think it possible that, in the far-distant future, it may be said that Trafalgar ' s sixtieth anniversary was a milestone in her career — and if so, how many of us will be able to say I was a diamond in her Jubilee ? [HI LiTERAR TASSACAGLIA A GREY stone building loomed towards me out of the mist. It was a cathedral, sombre in its dignity and ageless as religion itself. I entered, not by walking through the door, but by drifting past the walls into the dim, candle-lit interior. There were throngs of people about me, some standing, some sitting, some kneeling, and I took my place among them. They were not people of any particular age or walk of life, but an assembly of all the men and women of the past, present and future. On the altar was a gleaming cross, reflecting the glow of myriads of candles; and reaching to the arched roof were stained-glass windows of the richest dyes, which blended into one another. As I knelt, awed by this great beauty, the sound of a trumpet was heard, not coming from any definite direction, but flowing in clear accents from all the corners and alcoves of the immense cathedral. At its call, the multitude knelt and faced the altar, and, as the music rose in volume from the lonely trumpet to all the instruments of the orchestra, the roof parted and angels were seen singing in praise to the Highest. The multitude were no longer individuals, but a body of the pure essence of worship, bowing to the Supreme Being. As the singing swelled, tlie angels parted, giving the multitude a dim view of a throne surrounded with the light of celestial glory, and, as the scene became clearer, the music rose to a final climax in a crescendo of majestic chords. A pause, and the announcer ' s voice broke in, You have just heard Bach ' s ' Passacaglia ' , played by . The picture faded, but I slept with visions of ... storied windows , richly dight, Casting a dim, religious light. Margo Cronyn, Form Arts VI, Gumming House. u A DREAM FULFILLED P - DOWN, up - down — I had learnt to post in rhythm with my horse, and it was a wonderful feeling. I looked around and saw a world that was waking up from the long winter. We were riding through a bridle path on the mountain, and the trees on either side were beginning to bud. Here and there pussy willows were growing. It was a heavenly spring day; the sun actually felt hot and there was not a cloud in the sky. [18] As the horses trotteil along, 1 listeneil ith joy to the sound ot their hoofs. When we reaehed the top of the mountain, the horses slowed into a walk. We stopped for a minute and looked far below us to the busy city. In the distance lav the St. Lawrence, parts of which were still frozen, and, where the sky seemed to touch the earth, we conld see the distant mountains. As it was a clear day, we were able to see for miles around. I pattetl n horse, ia e her a slight kick, and we were oil on the road that winds around the top of the mountain. I had walked along this road many times before, and I had always hoped that stune day I might ride along it. Now my dream was fulfilled. 1 pinched myself: it was almost too good to be true. Heels down , called the riding master. I had been so busy looking around that I had forgotten about my heels. Quickly I pressed them down. I smiled. I was happy; very, very happy. Bakbara Magor, Form IVb, Ross House. THE MOON OVER THE WOODS The yellow moon rose above the wood. And lighted a bank where a rabbit stood, A jay-bird screeched and flew away. Most noises ceased — ' twas no longer day. Creatures scurried here and there To find their homes, and in the air A hoot-owl silenth flew aroiuid, Searching for wood-mice on the ground. A fox padded swiftly into the night. Small animals ran with all their might To escape the revealing light of the moon. And to hide in the forest ' s shadowv gloom. For this was the time to hide away From the fox or the hawk who seek their prev. hen the moon is shining in the sky. Then these hunters go stealthily creeping by, But when the moon has gone away, And its place is taken by signs of day. The woodland creatures rise with glee, Knowing till sunset they ' ll be free To do as they wish, the whole day through As long as they ' re careful — and cautious too. The jay-birds screech and screech all day. And the chipmunks and rabbits come out to play. And all is well, till bye and by hen the moon is shining in the sky. ]ais Torrance, Form His, Fairley House. [19] SWALLOW TAIL ROCK THE humidity of the dull day had disheartened me, and as I entered the massive doors of the Art Gallery, I seemed to he svirrounded hy throngs of people viewing with admiration various artistic masterpieces. I attempted to gain their enthusiasm, but the pictures were merely dabs of paint, until I was confronted by Cameron ' s Swallow Tail Rock . The scene contained therein struck a familiar note in my memory, and brought me pangs of homesickness. What a dear remembrance it brought to my mind! I could see it clearly: that rock at the entrance of the Bellamar Caves in Matanzas, Cuba; a place which has always attracted thousands of people, since it was discovered and the four-mile caves were explored. People continually admire the perfect and yet natural forms to which the waters of the Yumuri River have transformed after hundreds, perhaps millions of years, these rocks which rise up on the right side of Matanzas Bay. The painting reminded me of the entrance to this marvellous place, with its magnificent stalactites and stalagmites hanging down from the ceiling and rising up from the bottom of the caves. The picture was no longer still, dead — it was now full of life. I could hear the murmur of the waves peacefully advancing to touch the very low end of the rock. I could see the movement of the white crests, up and down again, con- trasting magnificently with the dark brown stone. I began to remember, then, the legend of the caves, beautiful and yet sad, but above all true, although strange. It was the story of a beauitifui girl, a princess, as it is believed, who bathed every night, in this secret concealed place, under the eternal supervision of the moon and the stars. One day, it seemed that a horrible Beelzebub ' discovered her sacred place, and, without being noticed, he watched the beautiful white girl every night. [20] The desire of possession grew stronger in liini as time enl on. and one night he eauglit the delicate Madeline in his hnge arms, tryiiig to lake her ont of the water. Madeline slipped from him and attempted to advance further ont in the sea. She sneeeeiled in getting him far away from the shore, hnt at the same time she sas foreeil along with him. For several minutes she fought to free herself, but it was in ain. Madeline could no longer resist his strength, and slowly hegan to drown in the deptlis of the sea. Beelzehuh , thinking it was a trick, ditl not pay much attention to her: he tried to gain the shore, convinced that, in the end. when she could no longer stay in the water, she would have to do the same thing. A few minutes had passeil since he reached the shore, and still there was no sign of the beautiful Madeline. Fearing that she might escape, helped by the night shadows, he walked up to the top of the high Swallow Tail Rock, from where he was able to watch everv movement of the peaceful waves which would iiide the desirable girl. He vaited ami Nsaited for what ?eenu ' d to him hours, and finally an idea of what had really happened came to his mind, striking it so harshly as to make him lose control of his senses and fall from the high rock into the sea, dying instantly. All those thoughts came clearly into my mind as I iewed the picture. I could not take nn eyes away from it. Everything had seemed so real! When an old man. touching my shoidder. gently asked me to leave, I realized I had been left alone. The night had brought its shadows, and as I went out of the heavv doors, a feeling of calm, and a sweet sensation of quietness had overcome me. I was convinced that Cameron had painted this picture inspired by the Swallow Tail Rock of Bellamar Caves. Leticia Artola. Form Science VI, Fairley House. WF RE MOVING Cartons here and cartons there: Trimks and boxes everywhere: Furniture is piled up high : Things on top of this do lie: We ' re moving. The house takes on a different air: The rooms and halls look very bare; Each rug is stripped from every floor: The little house is ours no more: We ' re moving. Our house holds mem ' ries of the years. Of greatest joy, of saddest tears. et, now we leave it here alone For someone else to call his own: We ' re moving. To our wee house I give a toast, For it has been my proudest boast. An empty spot is in my heart. For now from here we must depart: We ' re moving. Our new house soon will fill that spot. It, too, I really love a lot. I know that now I shan ' t be sad, 1 ' or in my heart I ' m very glad We ' re moving. Anne Berry, Form IVb, Ross House. [211 THE SCHOOL GYM AT RECESS AT eleven-ten every morning, from Monday to Friday, the work-ridden girls of Trafalgar go walking (perhajps) up to the gym for fifteen minutes of leisure in which they may lose all they have learned in the first three periods, and get their heads nice and empty so that they can fill them with the knowledge to be given them in the following three periods. As one enters the gym, a terrific din almost deafens the victim, but it seems that everyone gets used to the noise, for so far no distracted parents have complained that their child has turned stone deaf — at least not so far as any- one has heard. On the right, as one enters, all the Fourth-formers are sitting, talking about their latest heart-throbs, the movies which they last saw — one must remember that they have jvist lately managed to steal past the ushers ' keen eyes at the theatre — and what dances who has gone to when. From the piano corner of the gym we hear issuing the sweet notes of the Bumble Boogie or the Too Fat Polka , made by the more musically inclined members of the school. I might add that the piano can scarcely be seen, for there seem to be quite a number of the aforesaid girls. In the next corner, one finds a small, select circle of Fifth-formers, deeply engaged in a game of bridge. This is one of the latest additions to the numerous pastimes in the gym at recess. Our floor show is along the platform, where the more lively members of the Fifth Form practise the college and high school cheers with much physical violence. The quietest corner, which is not after all so very quiet, is that occupied by the Sixth Form who sedately sit and talk over school work ( ? ) . Now and then, about the time of the Gym Dem , one finds various members of the Form swinging clubs dangerously around heads, but this is a minor detail. Third Form is always scattered all over, well-armed with skipping ropes to rival the Sixth. One wonders whether one would rather be strangled or knocked out. In some places there are cozy little tetes-a-tetes being held by bosom pals who prefer the more quiet ways of life to those previously mentioned. Sad though it is, all good things must come to an end, and recess is no exception. The bell goes and silence reigns, or is supposed to, and once again the little recreation in tlie middle of the morning is over. Heather Adair, Form Arts VI, Gumming House. EXAM DREAMS The bell has rung, the Jordan crossed; Spenser, Bvron and all those guys Caesar has won, the senate lost; Wearing bright-coloured, modern ties. The Ides have marched and Brutus keeled, Romans in Forum having their fun — Smit by a look from Miss Stansfield. Triangles wrong, parallelograms square, With Euclid pulling Miss Cam ' s hair. There is death in the Archbaldian eye, As she picks up a molecule — lets it fly. Miss Harvie sells the chewing gum. Report cards weep o ' er shattered marks Miss Foster ' s devoured by laughing shar] The hand of fate a finger shakes At this poor writer when she awakes. CatharijVE Chadwick, Form Arts VI, Cumming House. MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT I WAS jroiiiji to niv first formal daiire tliat ni-ilit. Like any other normal ;irl, 1 was excited and Jiervous, and wished tlie e enini: would hurry and arrive. About lour o ' clock in the afternoon. I was takiufj a bath, curling my hair, and plastering some brown cream on my face, when, all of a sudden, the doorbell rang. 1 grabbed mv bathrobe and rushed to the door, forgetting completely about my appearance. I flung the door open, and. with a horrible shock, saw mv escort for the dance standing there with my corsage in his hand. With an inquisitive who are you? expression, he thrust the box into my hands and muttered something, of which I heard only, For Miss Aylesworth . I quickly closed the door, for I was as taken aback as he. I continued to dress, but all the time I kept thuiking of what a ghastly impression mv escort must have bad of me. I was ready- early, and the family- said I looked lovely . You know how parents are — they think their own dauijhter is the most beautiful jiirl in the world. When the poor boy arrived that night, his first words were, Boy! Do you ever look swell! That raised my morale. He then told me he was working in the local florist shop as the deliverv boy. Now I miderstood! He added, By the way, who was that horrible looking creature who answered the door this afternoon when I delivered your corsage, the maid? I foimd that I had my mouth wide open, but I managed to utter an I guess so . To help things. Mom and Dad laughed, as I had told them about the embarrassing experience. They did not give me away though, and I can only hope that my friend never finds out that the horrible looking creature was I. J ILL Aylesworth, Form IVb, Gumming Ho vise. TRAFALGAR ' S VOGUE RECENTLY we have been reading and hearing a great deal about those little gadgets used to dress up a basic dress. They are called by most fashion magazines accessories . An advertisement for accessories may run something like this: Tricky gold jewellery to dress up your basic black . Trafalgar is now faced with a tragic state of affairs: what can be done with the basic navy with box pleats? Not everyone can be lucky enough to decorate a tunic with stripes, G badges and stars, so what can the young lady do who has poor posture and cannot even turn a somersault? [231 We are limited to House pins for accessories. As far as styles go, they are not very decorative. Ross pins are very colourful, but generally worn dirty. Perhaps you will prefer Cumming ' a sentimental baby blue? Fairley has an advantage over the others: the pins can be renewed or preserved with scarlet nail polish. There is little to be done for the poor Barclay girls: green is green, no matter what you do to it. Identification bracelets also add a great deal to the school dress. They make a delightful noise clattering on the desk as the wearer writes. They can be improved by such small, delicate charms as locker keys. Those lucky enough to be in possession of L.C.C. or B.C.S. pins can wear them to advantage on the inside of blazer lapels, where the wearer may gaze at them occasionally, but where authority may not. Long a problem of Trafalgar girls, wrinkled black stockings are still a source of trouble. They sag and rumple at the knees, causing the genteel habit of pulling on them continually. Perhaps this could be remedied by knee garters to match our House pins. Of course, all these problems may be solved by wearing a navy blue skirt to school, and putting on a colourful sweater on departing. Then, when con- fronted by a Prefect demanding the removal of lipstick, you may say with the utmost truth that you are not wearing the school uniform. Janet Deakins, Form Va, Ross House. THE NIGHT OF THE GYM DEM (With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore) ' Twas the night of the Gym Dem, when all through the school Every girl was so nervous she could not keep cool. Our garments were cleaned and put on with such care. In hopes that we should look at least somewhat fair. The parents were crowded around the small gym. All wishing their daughters would soon enter in. When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter I ran to the door to see what was the matter: It was only the piano being pounded away For the dancers who entered — the first on display. The bright coloured skirts, and the shorts of the men Made a pretty beginning for the ' 48 Dem. Many items were shown, and the hour was ten. As this year ' s performance was nearing its end. There ' d been marching and skipping and tumbling and vaults. Rope-climbing and balancing and somersaults. As we marched in at last with our heads in the air. We hoped that Miss Box was not in despair. The badges and stars were received with a thrill By the girls who had shown the most effort and skill. Three cheers and our thanks to Miss Box we extend; In spite of her strictness, she ' s still our best friend. Susan Racey, Form IIIb, Fairley House.

THE TRAGEDY DAWX I The pale vellow rays of the sun crept over the purple mountain-tops, banished the shadows in the sleeping valleys, and gently warmed all rowing things. Mosquitoes began to buzz, ants scampered busily hither and thither, and manv-hued moths crawled into deep, dark crevices to drowse through the coming day. In an untidy garden, the last dew drops disappeared from the long blades of u rass. and in one sunnv corner, two flowers began to reveal their faces to the day. One was a young and beautiful violet. She had just this day achieved that perfection of form that mortals so often praise. Her leaves were large and as green as pine-needles. Although they appeared delicate, they were strong enough to protect the violet from the ravages of the elements and allowed only the gentlest drops of life-giving rain to touch their charge. The violet herself was graceful and shy. not vet fully aware of her beauty or its power. As she unfolded the tips of her exquisite petals to permit herself to see the weather, her shy glance was arrested by the sight of a magnificent marigold growing beside her. His petals, of the deepest, richest, velvety brown and warm orange, made her quiver with pleasure. She marvelled that previously she had failed to notice hini. Gradually she began to sense that her actions were being observed. She looked up instinctively, and saw the marigold watching her with open admiration. Quickly she averted her gaze, for she was embarrassed, and drew her petals around her tightly, but she could not quite conceal the becoming blush that suffused her petals to the very tips. The morning passed slowly. By noon, the violet and the marigold had shovNTi their glowing faces to the world. They were acutely conscious of each other ' s presence, but neither could be caught looking at the other. Presently, the violet, overflowing with joy and ecstasy at the mere thought of existing, stretched her leaves exultantly towards the blue heavens. In her joy, she had forgotten the marigold, but was suddenly forced to remember him when one of her leaves touched his stem. Quickly she shrank away in mortifica- [25] tion, and so deep was her feeling of embarrassment that her delicate petals began to droop, and one tiny tear fell to the ground. On seeing this, the adoring marigold tenderly stretched forth a strong, willowy leaf to comfort the weeping violet. Gradually her sobbing ceased. She looked shyly at her comforter and smiled her gratitude for his tenderness, but her eyes were held by his as by a spell. They continued to look at each other with speechless love and adoration. Lovers are oblivious to everything except their loved one; therefore the flowers did not observe the black, threatening clouds gather, or the sun disappear, or the wind drop until all was as silent as it was before life began. Not until the death-like stillness was suddenly shattered by the shrill cry of a robin, did the marigold raise his head in consternation, amazed at the sudden metamorphosis. The violet turned pale as she saw the menacing clouds, and drew nearer to the marigold, who comforted her with his strength. Now the wind began to blow and bring forth groans of torture from the straining trees. Rain came down lightly, then more heavily, increasing until the violet could scarcely see six grass blades in front of her. Then it stopped. All was as silent as before. The violet began to emerge from under the protecting leaves of the marigold and she expected the sun to break through the clouds momentarily. But the marigold was not so easily deceived. Where was the sun? Why were the birds so silent? Why did the clouds still remain? Why? Suddenly he felt rather than heard a faint thud on the ground, then another, and yet another. Hiding his fear, he quickly covered the shaking violet protectingly with his leaves. He was sad and without hope, for he had heard of this scourge of flowers, the icy, cruel hailstone, and knew the damage it could inflict. The violet and the marigold clung together for a few seconds, each of which seemed an eternity. Just as the marigold bent his head over the ill-starred violet to touch her quivering petals, a hailstone, guided by fate, penetrated the pro- tecting leaves of the marigold and crushed the life out of the exquisite violet. While the marigold, in the depths of despair, was looking at his love, another hailstone hit him in the middle of the stem so that he, too, fell to the ground, lifeless. Dawn! Again the sun rises over the purple mountain-tops, and again it banishes the shadows in the sleeping valleys. But in the unkept garden, a busy ant passes by a crushed violet and a marigold lying side by side. He, as the rest of the world, is oblivious of their tragedy, which is known only to their Maker. Enid Pascoe, Form VI Arts, Barclay House. A FAMOUS FOURSOME THIS storv takes phue, as the American Indian mi Ut have put it, in The Happy Hunting Grounds . e might call it the home of Gahriel and his horn, but at any rate, we find ourselves in a heautilul garden in hea en. Four men, sitting around a little pond, seem to be fully relaxed. I am sure if any of you met anv one of these men, you would be sure to recognize him. You know, F. D. R.. I think we are extremely lucky to be uj) here, peace- fully taking things as they come. The world is in such a state. It seems to me, J was verv luckv, being horn when I was, instead of a hundred years later. This was spoken by a distinguished looking gentleman with grey hair and a kind, thoughtful face. He could easily he recognized as Sir W ilfrid Laurier. The man addressed as F. D. R. who i . of course, the unforgettable Franklin Delano Roosevelt, thougiit for a moment before answering. Mv friend , he said, I think 1 lived during the most important part of the world ' s historv. Through the years I was on earth there were two world wars: atomic energv came into reality: automobiles went into production: radio came: airplanes: and so many other things. Fm glad 1 Ii ed hen I did. Sir Wilfrid, even though there were countless unpleasant and evil things thriving during that time. ' hen von mentioned atomic energy, it made me recall an article I was reading in the Roman Daily Chronicle the other day. This article stated that if we had had atomic energv during our wars, there wouldn ' t be any world today , said the gentleman known as Caesar, — Julius Caesar, in full. ou know gentlemen, when I w as in command of the army in Greece, it was not necessary for me to have all these weapons w hich are now being used. Why, I conquered the world with what I had . The speaker sat back and puflfed on his pipe contentedlv. Yes, I think I was about the greatest leader that ever lived . The other gentlemen just laughed. They were used to hearing him talk that wav. You know, Alexander , said Caesar, after all these years you are still as conceited as ever. But no matter, y ou come in very handy for a foursome of bridge. This last remark w as said jokingly. Have you read any good books lately? asked Alexander, trying to change the subject. Will Shakespeare just finished another play. He calls it ' Those Higher Prices . It is really excellent. In it he ridicules the rising prices on earth and he really makes it quite humourous. The other tliree gentlemen seemed interested at this announcement. ou know , said Sir Wilfrid, it is easy to make things like that humourous up here, but really, they are quite serious. Why, just the other day I saw an incident take place in New York city ' s east side. A poorly dressed old woman entered a grocery store and asked the clerk the price of a pound and a half of mince meat. She remarked that it had been almost two weeks since her family of six had had meat to eat. When he told her the price, which was outrageous, she just stared at him blankly. Oh , she said, I ' m afraid I can ' t afford that much . ith that she turned and walked out of the store. Poor soul. es , said Caesar, it really is getting very serious . Looking at his watch, he said, Oh my- goodness, it ' s nearly five-thirty. I ' m afraid I ' ll have to leave, Calpurnia asked me to stop in at the store on the way home. He got up from his seat and rearranged his toga. These women . Sir ilfrid and Alexander rose also. bile they were getting together their [27] various belongings, a little black scottie dog came rushing through the garden, running straight to Mr. Roosevelt. Falla where have you been all day? My goodness, what a dog I have, but, you know, I don ' t know what I ' d do without him. With that Mr. Roosevelt bade good-bye to his friends, and walked into his beautiful home. I may add, he walked without the slightest limp. Anne Berry, Form IVb, Ross House. A DREAM THE night was dark and snowy, the wind howled dismally, but a fire glowed on the hearth, cheering me up and bringing before me vivid memories of days at school. Then, built by the yellow flames, a picture flashed into vague outline before my eyes. Was it? . . . Was it? . . . Yes, it was! Trafalgar School for Girls! I could see plainly now; the scene was brighter, hurrying figures were ascending the steps. Girls, girls, and more girls thronged the halls. I heard a gong sound; a benevolent, yet dignified lady appeared, and there was silence in the assembly hall. Figures vanished from the halls, and I next caught a glimpse of students congregated in Form IV. Some of the students looked wise, some foolish, but, as the mistress entered the room, all were trying to appear quiet and attentive, though not all of them succeeded. A coal fell, and the flames lept up anew. And what was this? Oh! I remem- ber, it was the House Competition. The girls from each House were in certain corners of the gymnasium, representing a certain country. A tall, red-haired lady, accompanied by another lady, seemed to be judging the entries. A door opened and closed behind me, causing the flames to dart up and flicker again. Scenes came and went. I could see student after student pass quickly by, looking, oh, so thin and worried. What could be wrong? Why did they carry so many, many books? Ah! A light broke upon me: it was the nerve-racking, heart-breaking time of Christmas examinations. But in the next instant the worried look had vanished, and, mirrored in the flames — this must be — oh, yes, this was the Christmas concert. The Christmas play was being acted, while the rest of the School, all dressed in white, sang carols. Then I found myself gazing at the Fourth Form. It was night time. Every- one was worried and in a flutter. The next moment they were in the gym, marching in front of a large audience. Of course, now I recalled, it was the night of the Gym Demonstration. I leaned forward and stirred the coals with the poker. The scene changed; again all w ere thin and pale, laden with books, and tottering beneath their burden of knowledge. But what meant that desperate air of finality? Oh, if my memory served me correctly, those were the final and fatal examinations in June. Once again the scene changed, and I saw the school all gathered in the assembly hall in white dresses, the Sixth Form wearing pink and white corsages. On the platform were many distinguished ladies and gentlemen. What could all this mean? Oh, I remember! It was the June closing, at which prizes and cups were presented. This picture faded slowly; I lapsed into a state of happy unconsciousness . . . Ouch! My head hit the back of the chair with a bang, and I awakened suddenly to find the fire out, and my fond dreams of days at school entirely destroyed in the stern reality of a cold night with no fire. Elizabeth Webb, Form IVa, Fairley House. r28i MR. FIN MICKEY FIX liad the most beautiful estate possible. He lived in an old castle built of bone, anil covered with the slime of a ;es. Surrounding: his castle were great lawns and gardens of a bright green hue, tinted with specks of crimson, and his lanes were covered with the most expensive pebbles — blue, green, scarlet, and many other colours. He kept his treasures in an ancient sea chest buried at the bottom of the castle, for lie was a very rich and avaricious young fish. He had two slaves. Snail I and Snail 11, who ilid all his heavy work: Snail I kept his parks clean and tidy, and Snail II housecleaned his castle and prepared his meals. Altogether. Mr. Fin led a very lazy and luxurious life, but unfor- tunatelv he was not happy. He was very lonely: however, he consoled himself bv exploring, and everv day he would come to the edge of his estate and peer through the glass wall. He saw the most curious and interesting sights. It seemed to be another world in which everything was so large that he could scarcely see an entire object at one glance. Occasionally something would move and come close to his estate. It resembled himself in a gigantic way, only it had no tail or fins, just funny sticks, and it was white, while he was the most handsome red-gold. Mr. Fin knew this creature was his benefactor, for it was the creature who had placed at his disposal this magnificent estate, and had provided food for his sumptuous meals. All the same, Mickey was becoming very bored. He found he was getting too fat, and had to exercise with dumb-bells every day. His long, beautiful fins were becoming motheaten. and it required all the time of his two slaves to anoint and comb them, so that he would be presentable. What was worse, he was getting bad-tempered, and he beat his unfortunate slaves every day, until their fuzzy green coats became ragged. But one day salvation came: Mickey was given a friend. He had got out of bed very crossly that morning, when, looking out of his w indow, he saw. floating at the gate, the most beautiful fish he had ever beheld. She was silver, black and pink, and she blinked up at him from underneath long, black eyelashes. Ah! thought Mickey with ecstasy. At last I have been given a friend, and a beautiful one too , and he swished out of his palace to greet hei , never to be lonely or bad-tempered again. Philippa Hansard, Form IVb, Gumming House. [29] SCHOOL — 1997 This is an excerpt from the diary of Jane Clark, a teen-ager in her ninth year of school. THIS morning I must have got out of bed on the wrong side. To begin with, helicopter traffic was very slow. I left home late — allowing myself only ten minutes instead of fifteen to fly to school, and was nearly late. At school I landed, putting my ' copter into my helilocker. I really must be late , I thought to myself, for Alice is here already . I remembered that Miss Cook had said that I had to wash the ink stains from the top of my plastic desk by today, so I dashed to the wash-room, dampened a towel, rushed to my desk and began to scrub. Alice walked over to me: My but you ' re late today. I ' ve been here a long time. By the way, I couldn ' t do those problems about ' copters for maths, could you? Did you see the baseball game last night on your television set? It was really exciting. Lindsay Crosby sang too; Mother says his father, Bing, was quite the singer in her day. Also ... Oh, Alice, there ' s the bell, and I ' ve not got the marks oflf this desk yet. Here, take this towel and help me. Alice and I finally got the desk to shine. We then grabbed our hymn books and got into line. Nothing unusual happened in prayers, except that my hymn book crashed to the floor and everyone stared at me! I wish we could have the soft, noiseless, leather ones. The morning passed quite pleasantly; of course the history movie was complicated, and for homework we were told to write an essay on it. I ' ll never get it done. The maths problems were terrible, all about jet-propelled planes and ' copters. Dad has a jet-propelled, so he ought to be able to help me. The classroom was very hot this morning, for the sun shone through the fibre glass walls. It was uncomfortable at first, but maybe I got a sun-tan. The lunch at school today was quite good. We had meat and vegetable pills, and for dessert there was chocolate pudding with cream capsules. Those pills are very filling. They certainlv save work and dishes for schools and restaurants. At home we rarely have pills; it ' s usually the real thing. This afternoon we had a French test. Mademoiselle Chartre showed us a short French movie. It was terrible, for we had to write down in French what the movie was about, and the people spoke so fast I did not understand a thing. After French we had games. There was a short movie on basketball, with explanations. Then, for the rest of the period, we played the game, trying to remember all that we had seen. It looked as though there was to be a storm, so at the end of the period we all ran to the helilockers to get our machines. There was a whirr of pro- pellers as we all went up into the sky. I arrived home just as the storm began. I am certainly glad I did not get caught in it. I have finally finished my homework. I guess I ' d better go to bed now so I ' ll be able to leave earlier for school tomorrow. Carolee Beaudoin, Form IVb, Fairley House. [30] A FROG SCALES THE SOCIAL LADDER FTER preparing a lesson on the Frog, one night, very hile. the Biology teacher (incidentally!! was endeavouring to write a suitable letter of recommendation for one of her senior girls, l nfortunately she enclosed her lesson in the envelope to the girl ' s prospective employer, so thai the latter was informed that Joan was: 1. cold blooded 2. covered with warts 3. given to leaping 4. croaks when happy 5. has a long forked tongue for catching flies 6. has no teeth in lower jaw. On the other hand, the Biology class learned the following day tliat a Frog was : 1. vivacious, possessing large dreamy eyes and a lilting oice 2. very able in mental arithmetic 3. of good family background 4. a shining example of Trafalgar standards. Residt: Girl rejected. Class dejected. Teacher ejected. AN EARLY MORNING WALK THE soft brown mud slushed o er my boots, as I triulged along the winding countrv road. On either side, deserted summer houses loomed up in the mist, drearv and dirty: around the houses melting snow, now turned a dirty grev, mingled with patches of dead, yellow grass. Small sparrows, flitting among the naked trees, feebly chirped as they energetically gathered materials to build nests. Walking farther on, I came to a tiny glen in which pussywillows and moosewood were just unfolding their furry buds: a cat, lean and hungrv, padded silentlv along the road and disappeared through the budding bushes before I could catch it. The sun s rays were struggling through the inky clouds as I came to a rickety, old bridge. Hearing a sound of rushing w ater and occasionally a sharp crack, like a shot, I leaned over the bridge and saw that the river, as it ran swiftly on. w as cracking the ice with its pressure. Later, as I was returning, the sun suddenly burst through the clouds, bringing with it a soft breeze and a faint whiff of Spring: bringing also I hoped, the end of this dull and drab winter. Philippa H.A.NSARD, Form IVb, Cimiming House. A WINTER ' S NIGHT A PALE winter moon casts its spell on a poet ' s delight. Lacy flakes drift lazily from the grey sky. Gloves of icy frost cover the naked boughs. A fairy stream winds its way through drifts covered with newly fallen snow. [31] The transparent ice is smooth and glistens in the moonlight. In the distance the merry jingle of sleigh bells may be heard. Up the road is a cottage resting warmly between snowy bushes and protecting drifts. Smoke curls slowly from the chimney. Through the windows the coloured balls of light from a Christmas tree are lighting the carefully hung stockings. Horses ' hoofs and the crunch of wheels are heard as a coach jogs by. Soon only a deep groove in the snow remains. The winter world is peaceful, and drowsily awaits the dawn. Elizabeth Schollie, Form VB, Ross House. Incidentally! By the way! Mesenteric did I say? It really isn ' t that at all But Pharangeal, if you ' ll recall. Turn your notes two pages back, For I have found there is a lack. Six lines down in section eight, What you must know, I now dictate. Oh! Just a minute, your tests are here, But they are rather poor I fear. No one mentioned Renal Portal, Now, you know, that ' s really awful ! I didn ' t tell you? But you should know. You only lost a mark or so. As I was saying . . . oh, there ' s the bell Good morning, girls, and study well. Valerie Sims, Form Senior VI, Gumming House. Joan Gorner, Form Science VI, Barclay House. [32] JUNIOR LITERARY THE ADVENTURES OF ARTHUR — Part 1 ON( E upon a time there w a-; a little boy named Arthur who believed in fairies. All his friends made fun of him, but just the same he believed in them. I Thev are really true, you know I ) One ni-iht, when he was almost asleep, he heard a faint tap-lap-tappin !; on liis bed post. He looked up. and what do you think ' : ' Rijiiit there in the very place where he had heard the tappin-i was a tiny fair w ' llU :reeii feelers, and a wand in his hand. At first Arthur was soared, i)ut when the tin) fairy said, in a tiny, tiny voice, Hello! Arthur wasn ' t scared any more. Then he said, Hello! himself. Just then he felt a funny feelin : on his back, and when he looked around he saw that he had a beautiful pair of wings! Oh , he cried, ' How did these things get here? Thev ' re wings , explained the fairy. ' T put them there. The fairv ' s name was Tinv Tim. and he was eleven years old. Arthur was nine. The fairv asked him if he would like to have an adventure, and he said, es . Suddeiilv he felt something slip from under him, and what do you think? He found himself standing right in Fairyland! Fairyland is a very bright and cheerful place, except for one thing, and that one thing is a Horrible Scroochie which is a sort of lion. This Scroochie was pink, the fur around its neck was black, and it was a creepy crawly creature, very wicked. But it had had a spell cast upon it by a Wicked Witch! The only way that the spell could be removed would be that some guest who had been invited to Fairyland should happen to bandage up each paw with fairy ribbon. Fairy ribbon is always satin, and always baby pink or baby blue and very wide. Now as soon as the Horrible Scroochie saw Arthur he started running at him full pace. Arthur was so scared of him he started off as fast as he could. [33] not looking behind! Finally when he did look back, he saw that the Scroochie was going more and more slowly, and at last stopped altogether. Then Arthur saw that it was hurt and ran back. The Scroochie had run through a prickle bush and had injured its paws. Arthur felt very sorry for it. Oh dear , he cried, what shall I use for a bandage? The fairy gave him some pink fairy ribbon, which he used gratefully, and what do you think? There, standing before him was a most beautiful princess with black hair which was like satin, a pink satin gown, and pink satin shoes with pink satin bows on them! Everyone was surprised except Arthur. He didn ' t have time to be surprised, because he found himself right back in his own bed again. He kept his wings hidden under his mattress, and had many more adventures which I will tell you about in the next story. Katama Bonthron, Form Lower I. THE SQUIRREL A squirrel came to our window.

PIRACY A lovely ship it used to be, It used to sail on every sea; But, alas, thei-e came a day That cruel pirates came its way. Pirates were most vicious beasts That ruled the seven seas. They lay in wait for cargoes rare. In their mysterious hidden lair. With captives pleading on their knees They did not care, nor heed their pleas. And nary a man did they set free. And many a ship they sank at sea. Patsy Schrag, Form II, Ross House. [34] THE OLD OAK SHELTERING a imuh weatlier-beateii rarin-hoiise, stood the ancient oak in all it beaut ami i;lory. The trunk was twisted and trnarled, but it had a certain air ot distinction about it. The slender roots stretched out for many yards. Delicately shaped leaves covered the o erhani;ing branches which shaded the farm. It was slightK bent to one side, as if in a fiesture of weariness, but this was in reaMty only the result of many years of pre ailinf: wind. S ith its splendid arms outstretclied. the tree seemed to retreat tt) it for refufje and comfort. Many hartlshi|)s had the tree endured. One year, meddlini: beavers had attempted to destroy it, but failed because they were driven of! by the faithful gardener. Another year, it had been stripped of its raiment bv a host of locusts. Only the previous year, it had been nearly doomed. The master iiad ordered it to be destroyed, for no sunsiiine could cut through the heavy foliage. At the first stroke, the axe head i e oflF, and so fate had inter ened. As the tree stood gazing proudly at its domain, these thoughts raced through its mind, making it tingle with satisfaction and pleasure. Its heart seemed to burst with happiness as it felt tlie refreshing breeze rustling the manv gold- coated leaves, and the birds chirping their joyous melody. I . NCY Blachford, Form Upper II, Barclay House. CHAPPY CHIPMUNK THERE were two things Chappy Chipmunk liked to do better than anything else. One of them was to find out about things he didn ' t understand, and the other was to eat. His home was a cozy hole under a rock. Great pine trees stretched their warm, brown trunks towards the sky, and friendly firs shaded his doorway. Chappy wanted to know all about these things. His mother told him how the pines grew from tiny seeds dropped long, long ago. She told him how the thick fir branches sheltered birds, squirrels and chipmunks. One day Chappy was very hungry. He scampered across the rocks to the tree by the cabin. He had just settled himself, when there was a loud noise under the porch roof. Dropping a fat cone, he scurried down onto the porch roof. Hanging from a big hook was a cage, and inside it was a beautiful green bird. Chappy was just getting to know Pepper, when the door opened, and the biggest thing Chappy had ever seen came out of the house. It walked on two legs. Chappy ducked out of sight, and ran home as fast as he could go. Mother , lie panted, I saw something with skin on that was all different colours, and fur on its head. What was it? Mother Chipmunk laughed, then she explained to Chappy that these creatures were people, and she told him never to go near them. Next day, Chappy went to the cabin to see Pepper. He asked him about (he apples and seeds, and Pepper let him try some. Chappy liked them, so he nibbled and nibbled. Jim, come liere! There ' s a chipmunk in Pepper ' s cage. We ' ll keep him as a pet. Chappy scurried across the rock towards home. He still likes to eat seeds, but he is quite content to stay away from people. Chappy learned his lesson.

There ' s Pucky, Dewdrop, and Shinywing, That dance around the fairy ring. But little Wing the Chinese elf, Always dances by himself. When the first crack of dawn does break. And all the world is just awake. The fairies leave in a happy band. To attend the day in Fairyland. Linda McDougall, Form Lower I.

I went down first, and slipped at m first step. Flufl caught me by my neck and of course 1 was strangled. When I saw the world again. Fluff was pawing me and nieowing like a baby. We decided to go to our homes ami get a good night ' s sleep. It is three days after that strangling episode. 1 have only one life left, because I have been poaching quite a few times. Fluff is trying to stop me from poaching, but I guess it is just in my blood. We are playing lag  iow, 1 am chasing Fluff. L p the old phnn tree she went and onto the roof oi iier house v illi me after her. She jmnped up on the chimney, lost her balance and fell down it. I tore after her trying to save her. Down we both went, flop into a pan of boiling toffee which Fluff ' s mistress was making . . . ... I am in cat hea en now. hut oh, I wish for my Alley Cat days. Mahy Cliff, Form Upper TI, Ross House. THE MAN IN THE MOON The Man in the Moon as he sails the skv Is a wonderful skipper. But he made a mistake hen he tried to take A drink of milk from the Dipper. . He dipped right into the Milky Way, And slowly and carefullv filled it. The big bear grov led. And the little bear howled, And scared him so he spilled it. Lynne Schofield, Form Upper I. [371 MY BIRTHPLACE, CEYLON 1WAS born in Colombo on the fascinating island of Ceylon. The island is pear-shaped and lies in the Indian Ocean. It is a land of sunshine except for two months in the year when the monsoons come. Ceylon is ablaze with brightly coloured birds, trees, and flowers. We lived in an airy bungalow set in a large compound. In our garden there were twelve coconut palms as well as guava, paw-paw and plantain trees. Orchids are very rare in Canada but you pick them freely in Ceylon gardens. Many young men who lay out large sums for corsages would be delighted to live in Ceylon. Inside the bungalow, barefoot Indian servants clad in white sarongs padded silently about their duties. Like a ll English children in Ceylon, my brother and I had an Ayah. Her name was Porlentina Hamy, and later she travelled to Canada with us. We once spent a holiday on a tea estate and watched tea being plucked and later the processing of tea in the estate factory. The tea estates are up in the hills. The rubber estates lie lower down, and the trees are tapped similarly to our maple trees. Still lower lie the coconut, plantain and pineapple estates. Often on our drives in the country we saw working elephants. Fortunately, we never saw a wild elephant. Working elephants do heavy hauling jobs. On our way down from the hills, we passed gem pits where sapphires are found. Throughout the island there are many paddy, or rice, fields. These are sometimes terraced out of the hillside. I enjoyed living close to the sea as I did in Colombo. We had many happy times bathing in the breakers and picnicking on the sandy beaches. Altogether, Ceylon was a very pleasant place in which to begin life. Gillian Donald, Form Upper I. TRAFALGAR SCHOOL T here ' s a noble seat of learning R esting ' neath tall shady trees. A nd its classrooms wide and roomy, F resh with tonic mountain breeze, A 11 are filled with earnest students, L aboring so that they can say, G racious teachers, loving parents, A 11 your efforts we ' R epay. Sixty years of faithful service; C an their goodness be denied? H osts of pupils, through this era, 0 ften tested, often tried — O ft succeeded in life ' s battle. Lo! Trafalgar strength supplied. Renee Goldstone, Form Upper II, Ross House. [38] A TRIP TO THE MOON ONE night alter I hail gone to bed I dreamt that I was on a giraffe ' s neck going up to the moon on his spots. When I got there, the Moon was just thinking how nice it would be to have a visitor, so I was glad I had come on the right night. He asked me if I had been a good girl that day and I said, 1 think so . That is good , said the Moon, and now you shall have a big surprise. -Oh! What is it? You are going to Tinv ' s birthday party. Tiny is a star that has been with me for six years so I think I will give him a party. Oh goody! but 1 have no present for Tiny. ' T will get vou one. Let us go along the Milky Way. There is a store for stars. Here is one he would like , said the Moon. -What is it? It is some silver polish to shine Tiny. So I went to Tiny ' s party and had lots of fun. He had a nice birthday party and do you know what he got? He got a nice silver ball and he tried to balance it on one of his points, but it kept falling off. There were a lot of other stars but I was the only little girl. Do you know what we had to eat? VI e had sandwiches and chocolate cake with marshmallow sauce. By the time I had come back to Mr. Moon ' s house again he said that it was time I went home. I was sad but I knew a night of fim has to come to an end sometime. I said my good-byes and was off. Instead of walking down, I just took my seat and went sliding down. I landed in my bed with a bang! Every- body in the house came into my bedroom to see what I had done . . . Oh! I said, I just came down from the Moon . Barbara Jordan, Form Lower I. THE FAMILY My father says I am a dope. Our dog is old and fat and lazy, This is not true, or so I hope. His eyesight is a little hazy. My mother says I wear her clothes. Our colt is still too young to ride. But that ' s what happens when one grows.The saddle he just can ' t abide. My brother says I use his train, My brother ' s pony is the one And this he says gives him a pain. With whom we have the most of fun. My little brother is a pest. And so you see from what I write. But of them all I love him best. My father ' s wrong, I ' m pretty bright. Prudence Reilly, Form Upper I. SPRING EVENING The moon is shining, The nightingale singing, There is soft perfume in the air That brings the smiles out everywhere. LuciLE Robert, Age 7, Preparatory. [39] BANDY I have a dog, his name is Bandy, He ' s fond of cake and he ' s fond of candy. I named him Bandy, because you see His legs are as bandy as can be. He ' s a bulldog, I suppose you guessed, Altbough he tries to look his best He ' s just as ugly as can be. But I love him as he loves me. Hush, here comes the fairy queen. Arrayed in her mantle of silver sheen. Lightly and swiftly does she pass. Her footstep caressing the emerald grass. Behind her trip the fairy folk. Through the garden, past an oak, ' Neath a rosebush, o ' er a spring. Till they reach the fairy ring. Daintily they dance to the music of night Lighted only by pale moonlight. Goblets of nectar are placed here and there. For each pretty fairy to sip and to share. At last the fairies file away. And a rooster crows to herald the day. But the tardy sun, awaked by the call. Has too late aris ' n to witness the ball. Susan Pitfield, Upper H, Gumming House. Linda McDougall, Lower 1. THE FAIRIES ' BALL 7T [40] FRANCAIS MON ECOLE LE NOM (le mon ecole est Trafaljiar.

Gillian Donald, Form Upper I. LE PETIT COLONEL MON frere I ' avait achete le matin nieme, en allant faire les courses. C ' etait un simple soldat de platre. peint en bleu, avec un petit calot cranement penche sur Toreille. II etait si drole, fige dans un parfait ' garde a vous , qu ' Henry n ' hesita pas. Nous allons le donner a papa , dit-il. Justenient, papa revenait de voyage, ce jour-la. Nous avions a peu pres ime heure pour transformer la petite statue. Nous nous etions enfermes tous les trois dans la petite mansarde que maman nous avait reservee pour jouer; et immediatement, nous nons sommes mis a I ' oeuvre. D ' abord, les galons: le calot et les manches s ' ornerent rapidement de cinq fils d ' or. Et puis, les insignes. Celui du groupe Lorraine (auquel appartenait papa) etait un petit ecusson jaune, avec trois oiseaux rouges disposes en oblique. En fait, ce fut la partie la plus reussie, car Antoinette avait le plus fin des pinceaux, et s ' en servait avec une grande habilete. Comme je ne pouvais pas faire les clioses delicates, je me cbargeais des chaussures, dont la peinture etait un peu ecaillee. A nous trois, le simple soldat devint tres vite un gentil petit colonel, avec son insigne, la croix de guerre, la rosette de la Legion d ' honnexir, bref, un parfait officier. [411 Et a midi, lorsque papa arriva, le petit colonel etait au garde a vous dans I ' assiette, le calot sur I ' oreille, et souriant un peu. Marianne Teyssier, Form IIIb, Gumming House.

II m ' a porte a sa maison, et m ' a mis dans sa tirelire. Dans sa tirelire j ' ai rencontre mes vieux amis. Nous y sommes restes longtemps, et alors on nous a sortis de la tirelire, et on nous a mis dans un porte-monnaie. Nous sommes alles dans un petit magasin aclieter une bicyclette.

[42] LES PATINS AL ' Lac Champlain, ou je passe Tete, il y avail, il y a beaucoup (rannees, ties Indiens. (. ' etaieiit des Iroquois, eimemis des colons, et tres hostiles aux vova ' eurs. On raconte beaucoup d ' bistoires sur les Indiens, et sur les choses qu ' ils faisaient, et niaintenaut cVst difficile de distinguer entre celles qui sont vraies et celles qui sont des lejiendes. Je sais qu ' en niarchant dans la Coret pres du lac, c ' est facile de croire que les liuliens sont encore la. Ceci est une de ces liistoires de la rejjion. Je n ai aucinie idee si c ' est vrai ou non, et vous pouvez decider vous-nienie. C ' etait en Janvier, le mois le plus froid de Tbiver. II neigeait, et le jeune voyageur etait tout blanc. II a ait voyage dans la foret pres du lac pendant plusieurs jours, prenant grand soin de n ' etre pas vu par les Indiens, (]ui avan- caient toujours tres clandestinenient dans la region. La unit approcliait quand le o ageur vit un petit nuiuvenient parmi les arbres. Probablenient un petit animal, un renard, peut-etre , pensa-t-il. Le froid et la fatigue le firent penser un peu lentement, et Tincident passa sans avoir attire son attention. Tout a coup, le jeune lionnne trouva qu ' il etait entoure par les Indiens! Conibien il v en avait, il ne le savait pas. et il n ' essaya pas de s ' ecbapper. An camp des Indiens, il y avait un grand feu, pres duquel Tbomme fut laisse avec deux gardes. La nuit passa, la neige s ' arrcta, et le soleil se leva tres brillant sur la terre blanche. Le jeune bomme avait dornii pendant la nuit, niais malgre son repos, il etait fatigue. Ses ravisseurs lui donnerent un peu de nourriture, pas beaucoup, mais assez pour soulager le vide dans Testomac. Plus tard le matin, a la stupefaction de leur captif, les Indiens mirent des patins et commencerent a patiner sur la glace brillante du lac ! Pendant une demi-beure ils jouerent sur le lac. Quand ils eurent fini, ils inviterent le jeune bomme a essayer les patins. II n ' etait debout que depuis deux minutes sur les patins, quand il tomba. Comme les Indiens riaient de sa maladresse ! Mais apres quelques moments, ils irouverent cela ennuyeux, et ils partirent. Le jeune bomme etait seul. avec les patins. II avait badine avec les Iroquois quand il etait tombe, et apres s ' etre exerce un moment, il cbercba soigneusement les Indiens, il se dit, An nord, a la surete! Vite! Avec toute la vitesse possible, il patina vers le nord. n etait tres loin du camp des Iroquois, quand il prit le temps de regarder derriere lui. Les Indiens ! Ils le suivaient ! Mais devant lui, il y avait quelquechose qui n ' avait pas attire son attention. Sur la glace, il y avait une grande fissure ! Attrape ! Les Indiens en arriere, I ' eau en avant. II n ' y avait qu ' une cbose a faire. C ' etait de sauter. Prenant tout son courage, il se prepara a sauter. Un grand saut, et il etait de I ' autre cote! Derriere lui, les Indiens criaient en colere. Pas un n ' avait ose sauter! La surete enfin! Le jevine bomme voyagea vers le nord, et arriva enfin cbez ses amis. Janet Deakins, Form Va, Ross House. [43] DORM NEWS By way of introduction, just to make it clear to you, I ' ll tell a little of our life — a summary will do. I ' m the first man of import- ance, the only man, in fact. I substitute for father, and for brother — and all that. For years it ' s i)een the rule to speak of hoarding life as dull; 1 feel it now my duty to show it ' s not at all. So, in this section of the mag. I ' ll try to prove to you That of all the rumours you have heard, not one of them is true.

It came a few weeks later, hut only for the eniors. An artist such as Lily Pon must he appreciated: and so, once more our spirits rose at the thought of going out and putting on a little lip?lick. We walked to the ( ' .uri - (iym- iiasiuin with eager anticipation which wa.- ure to he satis- fied hy the heautiful inging of a great arti t.

It was music to our ears, and the great Hurry in the L pper Dorm was repeated. We reached His Ma- jesty ' s just in time and took our seats in the halcony. With the end of the picture came many a wistful sigh. Is he ever cutel Who is he? . We sneaked into the House at a very late hour! The la?t item? on our program -o far were Musica Pro- hita , also with Titto (iohhi, and the famous Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo . Both were termed, out of this world , and on the homeward trips little terms of endearment issued from wagging tongues. Even then, however, we were look- ing forward to our next outing which will he seeing our own Barhara Ann Scott. But our hig door standing hefore us put an end to all revelry, closing another chapter in the life of the hoarders, which is not so bad after all! Si-MONE Cox, Form Arts VI, Ross House. [47] MEXICO — MY HOME We are proud of this article, as, when Martha came to us eight months ago, she knew no English. MEXICO is one of the most picturesque countries in both the Americas. Perhaps it is especially appealing to me because I am Mexican. Svippose that we go to Mexico to visit some parts of it, and you tell me what you think about it. First let us go to the capitol, Mexico City. Here we find big buildings, and a great deal of traffic. Naturally we feel strange because for us this is an unknown city. In the streets we find some American people, along with the Mexicans, some of whom can speak English. Afterwards we go to one of the most famous hotels in Mexico, where we dress to go to visit some of the stores. The store which is the most popular and which attracts most English speaking people is Sanbourne ' s. When we go in, we find some silver. It is very cheap, so we buy some bracelets and rings. When dinner time comes we have our meal in the restaurant of the same store. All the waitresses wear Mexican dresses. Natvirally this is a place for people who visit Mexico. Next day, we decide to visit some parts of Mexico, and we plan to go to Cuernavaca and Acapulco. On the road to Acapulco, we pass the two volcanoes Popocatepetl and Izthshibualt. These are the only volcanoes in Mexico which have snow on the tops of them. After a few hours, we reach Cviernavaca which is in the mountains. Throughout the trip to Cuernavaca, Indians could be seen weaving and making pottery. We go to our hotel in Cuernavaca, but because we arrive in the early afternoon, we find that the Mexican people are resting, so we read and walk around. In a little shop in the town we can buy a Mexican skirt and blouse to wear that night, when we shall dance in the flower-bedecked and candlelit dining-room. (Isn ' t that romantic?). In the hotel lobby, we see some little girls selling orchids and gardenias. We only have to pay twenty-five cents for a big box. Twenty-five cents in American money is one peso in Mexican money. I love my home very, very much, and I hope that some day all the friends I have in Canada will be able to know my wonderful country, Mexico, and love it too.

This afternoon turned out to be very hot, and I decided not to go on the bus tour of the city. In fact, it was so hot that Paris seemed to lose its charm. I had lunch at a little cafe and later thought I would walk down L ' avenue des Champs-Elysees . I was beginning to tire of looking at the gay shop windows, when I saw a face that seemed faintly familiar. The name Jackie Beaudoin went through my mind, surely it was she. A few minutes later we were seated at a table of a side-walk cafe, sipping cool drinks. Apparently Jackie, like me, was on holiday. A few years after 1 left Montreal, she had gone to Paris to study and was now revisiting the city. Since her home is still in Montreal, she told me of the whereabouts of many of our classmates. Heather was married just after she graduated from McGill and has a nineteen-year-old son who is on the Canadian Olympic Ski-Team. Betty, who graduated from college with Heather, went to Traf as gym mistress a few years later, and then left to get married. Margaret and Eleanor both became nurses. After a few years in the hospital, Eleanor left to found a home for the aged in Hudson, and Margaret followed later with her famous cure-all purple pills. After leaving school, Velva was a debutante then went on a trip around the world. While in New Zealand she met an American tourist and married him. Jackie hasn ' t heard of her since. Nevada did very well after leaving Traf . She spent a few years at Mac- donald College and then started teaching at a Progressive Kindergarten School. Later she started her own Kindergarten of the Air . The only thing Jackie knew of Marje was that she had started a summer camp for girls in the Laurentians. It was very successful and is now firmly established. Joan began as a journalist, and then became editor of a Magazine for youth, and also editor-in-chief of a newspaper. She has done a great deal of social work in Montreal and other eastern cities. I think a large percentage of my schoolmates are married. Margo married an English actor and acts with him on the stage; Enid became a doctor and married a brain specialist. Barbara took up law. After getting her degree, she practised law, as well as lecturing to students. Lois became a lab. technician in Zoology and later married. Mary Beth and Catharine are married too. Pamela married an Anglican Minister and they settled in Guelph, Ontario. Jackie ' s news certainly filled in all the gaps about the lives of my classmates. T did not ask her what Honore was doing. I noticed that as she took off her jacket, there was a familiar signature on the label — Honore . Thus I spent a most entertaining afternoon during my visit to gay Paris ...

[62] BARCLAY HOUSE THIS veur was an exoitinji one tor Barclay House, and althoufjh we were at the bottom of the point ladder, we hope by the end of the year to be farther advanced. e welcomed many new girls this year, and they have worked very hard, and entered into tiie spirit of the House. The Inter-House Competition this year was of a new type, with each House representinj: a country. Barclay depicted (,hina. The girls worked verv hard, and we would like to thank them all for their help, especially Honore Walsh and Louise Dupont. Barclay came second with 84 ( , just 29c behind Fairley. In sports, we had two Barclay girls on the first basketball team: Marjorie (. ' inuiingham and Joan Corner. On the second team were Betty Bown and Enid Pascoe, while Honore Walsh, Judy hite and Ann McDougall acted as reserves. We had only one member of Barclay House on the Junior Ski Team, Ann Kirby. In the Inter-House Basketball Competition we placed second, being defeated by Gumming. We wish to thank Miss Stansfield for her very much needed and kind guidance throughout the year, and t wish the girls of Barclay great success in the years to come. Joan Couner Enid Pascoe GUMMING HOUSE Facia A on f crba ' ' THE heads of Gumming House would like to take this oj)portunity to thank Miss Gam for all her help and encouragement during the past year, and we would also like to thank the girls for their work and co-operation. A great deal of our interest went into the House Competition and although we only managed to obtain the booby-prize everyone enjoyed working on the project. Stripes helped to pull up our total house points and we are proud to have obtained a greater number than any of the other houses. The house was fortiniate in having Mary Beth Cowper, Margaret Patterson, Bunty Poole, and Ruth Sleeves on our first basketball team, while Eleanor Garment played centre shot on our second basketball team. Eleanor and ! Iargaret, as well as Joan Andrews, Nicole Andreef and Diane Taylor, managed to obtain places on the ski team. We are proud of Diane because she placed second in the combined Junior slalom and downhill races. e are hoping to hold our own successfully in the interhouse basketball competition and in the house tennis competition, not to mention the field day, as we are well represented in the field of sport. In parting we wish to say, Good luck and best wishes, for the years to come. Gumming House . Gathakine Ghadwick Mary Beth Cowper [63] FAIRLEY HOUSE AT press-time, Fairley has high hopes of winning the Inter-House Trophy. Her hopeful heads attribute this to the enthusiastic work of her members. We especially feel that mention should be made of Jill Hutchinson, Velva Jane Peers and Reni Roberts, with a note of thanks to the new girls who have added much to our success throughout the year. The highlight of this year ' s competitions was the International Exhibition, in which Fairley represented Mexico. By way of entertainment the girls provided colourful Mexican folk-dancing and a short educational Mexican movie. In spite of the excellence of the other Houses ' displays, Fairley managed to come out on the top. Also worthy of mention is the Spelling Competition in which our girls were again successful. In the field of sports, the House members have shown themselves accom- plished, having copped the majority of Gymnastic awards. Looming in the near future are the Badminton and Basketball competitions and Field-Day. In closing this Annual Report, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to our House Mistress, Miss Macdonald, who was particularly helpful in the International Exhibition. Under her guidance and persistent desire to help the Fairley girls have worked industriously and with interest. Leticia Artola Jacqueline Beaudoin ROSS HOUSE ' Suavifcr in more — jorliter in re ROSS HOUSE girls have worked very hard this year and at tlie end of the Christmas Term we found that we had been rewarded — Ross House had come first! Keep up the good work, girls, so that we may be as fortunate at the end of the school year. Ross House was well represented on the Trafalgar Ski Team by Barbara Cunningham, Judy Kirby and Jocelyn Stevens. Anne Van art represented tlie House on the Trafalgar Second Basketball Team. The Inter-House Competition at the end of November was a great success, with each House representing a different country; Ross Hou se chose Canada, and we would like to thank all the girls for their hard work and support in helping us to prepare for the competition, and in carrying it through. Miss Harvie has been a tower of strength to Ross House, and we, on behalf of the girls, would like to thank you very much. Miss Harvie, for your support and advice to all of us in Ross House. The girls have also knitted and sewed faithfully for the Red Cross. We would like to mention Anne Pattison and Barbara Davison especially; both these girls have done a great deal for Ross House this year. Good luck to you in the future, Ross House, and don ' t forget to keep up your high standard. Virginia LeDain Anne Van Wart [64] THE HOUSE COMPETITION HE House Competition this year took place in the latter part of the first term. Tn past years, we ha e had singling or dramatic competitions or a hobbv show, but this year it was decided that each House should choose a country and depict it by a short skit and an exhibition of products. Ross chose Canada. Fairley Mexico. Cumming India, and Barclay China. e had a month in which to prepare, and it was a month of a great deal of work, not only by the House Heads, hut also by all the girls, who showed a great deal of enthusiasm, each making her own costume and bringing articles for the exhibition. The day of the Competition arri ed. and all were ready. Mrs. Turnham (Alice Johannsen I an old girl of Traf . was our judge. She marked us out of 607c for the skit and for the exhibit. Ross represented Canada by a travelogue from East to West with the girls dressed in typical costinnes of each area. Fairley had an excellent exhibit and put on a fine display of Mexican dancing followed by a coloured movie on the cities of Mexico. Cumming was fortunate in having a very interesting speaker. Miss Estall. who told us a great deal about the dress of the Indian women. Barclay took the musical way, being fortunate enough to have a girl who could sing in Chinese. Fairley won the competition, with a total of 86%. Barclay, a close rimner-up with 84 c, received full marks for their exhibit. Ross came third with 76%, totalling 58 out of the possible 60 for their skit, and Cumming followed with 68%. All enjoyed this new type of competition, and I only hope those of the future will be such a success.

The girls have shown great enthusiasm this year in sewing and knitting babies ' garments. By the end of the year we will have collected over five hundred articles. Another project which the girls undertook was to make a complete outfit for a two-year-old English boy. At Christmas time presents, donated by the girls, were sent to Ogilvy ' s Department Store and were distributed by them to Military Hospitals. During the recent Red Cross drive, Trafalgar collected the sum of one hundred dollars. We wish to thank Ann McDougaJl ior her outstanding work throughout the year. TRAFALGAR — L, C. C. PLAY REHEARSALS This report is about the rehearsals for the play which is to be put on by Trafalgar and Lower Canada College, jointly. I think, after reading it, you will agree that a pleasant time was had by all . The play, written by Arnold Bennett, takes place (hiring three periods: 1860, 1885, 1912, and it is appropriately named Milestones . It deals with the ups and downs, loves and hates, of a prominent English ship-building family during three generations. Our own Miss Reid, and L.C.C. ' s Mr. MacKinnon were the two adults in charge of the mysteriously quiet group of young ladies and young men who met for the first reading of the play. I think both boys and girls felt that they could not relax, but must sit very straight and be very quiet. After they began to read the play, they relaxed somewhat. The boys seated on one side of the room, would, now and then, lift their eyes cautiously from their scripts to look at the quiet and subdued group of girls, who, seemingly unnoticed by the rest, were looking at the boys. Soon, however, misprints in the script caused peals of Joyce Schofield Dael Perry Velva Jane Peers Janet Deakins Barclay House Cumming House Fairley House Ross House [68 laughter, aud the atmosphere hecaine less tense ! All in all. the rehearsal went very well, and the play appeared to have made a good impression on the group. i hen the next rehearsal took, place the players were not quite so nervous, and they seemed to be getting along quite well. By the time they had met three or four times, it was just as though they had known each other all their lives. The play has been very well cast, and all seem to be living their parts. Thev are acquiring technique which will, later, make the play a success. Miss Reid and Mr. MacKinnon are putting a great deal of work into the production, and deserve the greatest credit. Miss Jaques, also, is doing a wonder- ful job witli the costumes and setting. So far, the play and rehearsals have been both interesting and entertaining. When it is finally put on for an audience in May, I am sure they will get as much pleasure out of seeing it as the cast has had in putting on Milestones . MUSIC APPRECIATION Music Appreciation is one of tlie cultural subjects at Trafalgar and is under the direction of Miss Wayland, a very competent teacher. Each Form has one period a week, and the work done is graded, ranging from Haydn s Toy Symphony to the greater works of the Classic and Romantic composers. Some of the works covered this year were: Peter and the Wolf by Prokofieff. Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck, The Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saens, Till Eulenspiegel by Richard Strauss, Prince Igor by Boro- din, The Unfinished Symphony by Schubert, and The Bartered Bride by Smetana. Classes are held in the drawing room of the House where there is a concert grand piano and a gramophone. The school has an interesting collection of records. Miss Wayland also brings charts, illustrations and books containing the story behind the music. I think, and believe most of the girls would agree with me, that we learn much and enjoy this class. It is obvious that something is gained, because almost every week someone says that she has heard over the radio a piece of music which has been played previously in class. The object of this class is to help the girls gain a more intimate knowledge of music which forms a background for our lives, and to be able to display a certain amount of musical intelligence when attending a concert or other musical function. Once a year. Miss ayland arranges a form of recital in which girls who sing or play musical instruments entertain the rest of the class. We also have musical quizzes from time to time. Although our Fifth Form is not composed of angels, and we do talk and have some fun, I am sure we gain much and we certainly appreciate Miss Wayland ' s efforts. [69] ART GOOD deal of ground has been covered since we began school this year, Ix. but there have been many diversions from the academic line, especially in art. This year Miss Jaques was fortunate in obtaining some pretty, gaily-coloured prints of various subjects. These, set off to the best advantage in white frames, were placed in the upper corridor. Needless to say, they have brought forth many favourable comments. Miss Jaques, with the help of some of the girls, has been making costumes for the play, Milestones , which is to be presented by Trafalgar and Lower Canada College sometime in May. During the gymnastic demonstration we caught a glimpse of several of the dresses, which were colourful and attractive. The shoe used in the dem was Miss Box ' s original idea, cleverly carried out by Miss Jaques and the Fifth Form. The report would not be complete if the Christmas Pageant were not mentioned. Special praise should be given to the backdrop which was most effective, as were all the costumes. The programmes turned out very well, and it was a new experience for several of us to work on a two-colovir silk screen. Miss Jaques ' and Miss Reid ' s unceasing efforts were amply rewarded by the enthusiasm with which the Pageant was received. The Extra Art class is hoping to go on a sketching trip with Miss Jaques over the twenty-fourth of May. This should be enjoyable and worthwhile. In closing, I would like to thank Miss Jaques on behalf of the art classes for all the help and encouragement which she so generously gives us. I 70 SIXTH FORM DANCE JANUARY 16th! Four o ' clock! The Dance Committee is at its wits end. There isn ' t enough hhie paper for the decorations. Someone races down town and races back again. — No bhie paper, only white. It will have to do! More feverish working, and everything is finished at a quarter to five. Hurry up ! someone calls. I have to he ready at five-thirty. Will I have to rush! Nine o ' clock I Music plays softly, dresses shine in the dim light, and the members of the receiving line look on with approval. Strangely, all the girls seem to look different in their formals, and even the boys have a more gallant air. Balloons float down from the ceiling, and in two minutes they have all beeft broken! The last dance begins, and then everyone goes home, tired but happy. Each girl gives her silent thanks to the hard-working Dance Committee and to the Old Girls ' Association, which sponsored the dance, and dreams of Jimmy Crawford ' s music.

Trafalgar ' s Senior Team did not do so well, but the Juniors placed second to Morin Heights. Diane Taylor came second in the Junior combined slalom and downhill, with Judy Kirby third. In the Senior, The Study came first with Westmount Senior High second. INTER-HOUSE COMPETITION 1947 BASKETBALL Cumming won the Inter-House Basketball, by defeating Barclay in the finals. TENNIS Barclay won the Tennis, with Fairley second. PING-PONG Barclay also came out on top in the Ping-Pong, with Fairley second. FIELD DAY Field Day was not so successful last year, as it has been on previous occasions, for it rained halfway through the afternoon. However, we had some of the remaining events on a later date in our own garden, not being able to obtain Molson Stadium again. Cumming won the day, and Fairley came second. 1948 This year we are looking forward to having Inter-House Badminton and Deck Tennis as well as Basketball and Tennis. These competitions will take place in the Summer Term, when we have what we call open Mondays. 1781 [79] THE GYMNASTIC DEMONSTRATION ABOUT eight o ' clock on the evenmg of March the fifth, a mother was seated beside her husband in the school gymnasium. On her lap lay a programme headed Trafalgar School Gymnastic Demonstration which she now picked up and read. Just then a silence fell over the well-filled gym, for the doors had been thrown open, and the Folk Dancers were seen waiting for their music to start. The gay and colourful dancers left the room all too soon, but before any comment could be made, the Box was brought in, and girls from Forms III and Upper II were doing exercises on it with the greatest control. The Preparatory item which had been so entertaining on Tuesday and on Thursday was not performed on Friday night, so Forms Lower I and Remove were the next on the programme, doing exercises and somersaults on the ropes. The rope climbing and the vaulting, both done by special groups of girls, were very good. Next the gay country dances by Upper II formed a contrast to the excellently performed silent drill of the Fifth Forms. In the Park — 1880 carried the audience back to the days of bustles and bicycles built for two . As these dancers left the room, the mother could be heard telling her husband that Miss Jaques, the Art Mistress, had made the costumes, and she thought them very beautiful. A very original item followed: the modern version of There was an Old Woman , The old woman and her children. Upper I, heard exercises given over a radio which was brought out of the shoe and tuned in to station TRAF. Much to the enjoyment of the audience, the whole family, including the Old Woman , went through these exercises, which, we might add, were called Miss Box ' s Daily Dozen . The Tumbling, and the exciting Relays had the mother on the edge of her seat, but she soon settled back to enjoy the rhythm of the two red and white items: the Sixth Form Club Drill, and the Fourth Form Marching. The last item. Skipping by the Third Form, was very good, and as it finished there was an air of disappointment that the end of the programme had come so soon. The girls looked very smart in their white blouses and navy blue shorts as they re-entered the gym in the finale — The Grand March. The mother wondered if her daughter would receive one of the badges which were to be presented by Mrs. Cunningham after a short address by Archdeacon Gower-Rees. She agreed, however, that whether her daughter received a badge or not, it had been a most successful Demonstration. She had enjoyed the music played by Miss Wayland, and felt that much praise was due to Miss Box for her patience and enthusiasm in training the girls so well.

The following slate of Officers of the Association was elected at the Annual Dinner on May 17th, 1947: — Miss Elizabeth Brow was elected Secretary but she resigned because she entered the Royal Victoria Hospital School of Nursing. The Executive ap- proached Miss Patricia Holland, who accepted the Secretaryship, and has carried out her duties with energy and interest. This year we have had one General Meeting, six Executive Meetings, one special Meeting to address the circular letters sent out in September, and one Meeting of the Dance Committee. October 21st, 1947 marked the Sixtieth Anniversary of Trafalgar School, and in honour of this event a Dinner and General Meeting was held on that night in the Gymnasium where 121 Old Girls were in attendance. At the Meeting, the Chairmen of Committees were announced. It was decided that in order to operate more efficiently members of the Executive should be appointed to head the Committees and each Chairman would select her own Committee. There was discussion regarding the Scholarship. When the business was com- pleted the guest speaker, Mrs. Christopher Bryson (Jane Howard), gave a most interesting discourse on her experiences while residing in India. In order to contact the maximum number of Old Girls, the Executive circulated a letter to all on record announcing the Sixtieth Anniversary of the School. Enclosed with this letter was an account for membership dues with a return addressed envelope. The response to this letter was most gratifying, the membership now totalling 185, including 28 life members. We found, however, that our address records required revision, and this the Association has endeavoured to do. During the school term 1947-48, two Scholarships were awarded. The Scholarship Committee hopes to revise the present regulations governing the granting of scholarships. The Fund established for this purpose has been Past President President First Vice-President . Second Vice-President . Third Vice-President . Treasurer Secretary Sixth Form Representative Mrs. R. V.

On Thursday, March 4th, I had the pleasure of attending the Gymnastic Demonstration. On April 15th, through the kind cooperation of Miss Sally Starke, President of the Trinity Players, 300 tickets for the play This Happy Breed were made available to the Association. The total amount realized by the sale of these tickets was credited to the Scholarship Fund. I would like very much to express my sincere thanks to all who helped in the sale of these tickets. The Association again sponsored a Dance in honour of the Graduating Classes. It was, as usual, a subscription dance, so that the Association was able to cover expenses. I would like to thank Mrs. Wonham for her excellent work in arranging the catering for the Dance. Last October, the Executive purchased a Four Hundred dollar ($400.00) Bond from the Current Account so that the Association may assure the life members some security. The Current Account now has a substantial balance. In conclusion I would like to thank my Executive for their help and excellent work; also Miss Foster for being so kind to me and the Association and for her continued willing assistance. Respectfully submitted. Alma Wallace REPORT ON THE SCHOOL DANCE FOR the past four years a dance, sponsored by the Trafalgar Old Girls Asso- ciation, has been given in the gymnasium in honour of the graduating class. After the first dance was given, it was found that the expenses were not covered, so the Executive decided to make it a subscription dance. The Executive and Miss Foster agreed that this year each girl could bring an outside friend, thus making a good crowd of ninety couples. I would also like to mention that this year all the staff were invited. The decorations were taken care of by the graduating class and they were extremely well chosen; strung across the ceiling were blue and white streamers, and from each corner of the gym were hanging large cellophane bells filled with balloons, and behind the orchestra was a very effective back-drop. I must add that we had a four-piece orchestra. The Executive would like to thank the graduating class for their help and cooperation in making the dance the success that it was, and we hope that next year a few more Old Girls will be interested in the dance, as they are always welcome.
