This contemplation becomes more pleasant with time, as our failures sink into insignificance in retrospect. We are now experiencing an exciting moment as we look back over high-school and then forward to what the future holds. In one we feel the utmost security, while in the other a certain fear intermingled with expectancy prevails. e cherish our idealistic beliefs of today, for we perceive tlieir blending witli the realism of tomorrow. Yet we are impatient to experience what is to come! Our elders shake their heads sagely at our eagerness, and smile at our readiness to be cast into the midst of life, our confidence as we profess our desire to explore its very essence; for they remember their tlioughts were oiu-e akin to ours. But in our indomitable spirits, exciting and wonderful as everything is, if we deride the experience of those who felt as we feel now, the outcome may be disastrous. We often tend to regard the people, institutions and morals of preceding times with contempt or condescension. Our minds are unresponsive to their pleasures and achievements which do not appear to us sufficiently scintillating. We should realize, however, that we are of a different age — an age of reason and rationalism, of science and scepticism, and that, as the offspring of such an age, we are not very well qualified to sit in judgment on these people. From their experience we may find the answers to the questions we ask ourselves, if we do not indulge in self-assurance, for, contrary to what we often suppose, the essentials and problems of life know no radical changes. There is a constant challenge before us. We are faced with an insecure present and a precarious future. The work which lies ahead, the destiny which each must fulfil, beckons us and permits no retreat. The responsibility will be eased from the shoulders of our parents onto us, and we must equip ourselves for the task. We are preparing to accept this challenge, for negligence injures not only the escapist, but also his contemporaries to whom he owes a debt. We may accept this challenge and stride forward; we may reject it and fail. The future rests in our hands and the challenge is ours to fulfil. [12J LITERARY BEAUTY Where does beauty end? Beyond the mountains far That fade, in purple mist, Into that glowing star? Where is this beauty found? In the lacy waves that creep And shatter on sandy shores. Or in autumn ' s harvest reap? Beyond this hour, this life, j Beyond, in far-off rainbows That o ' er us spill their luring gold. In the rising love that flows? Where does this beauty end? There is no everlasting stop. Only the pierced heart That once was loved, and now is not. Mary Asselin, Form Arts VI, Barclay House. HOW NOT TO STUDY STATISTICS show that most students study, or should study, about ten hours every week, and I am sure that many books have been written instructing would-be high school graduates in the correct procedure. My object, however, is to teach people how not to study — in five easy lessons. First wf tackle geometry. The articles required are a maths scribbler, textbook, a blunt pencil aiul a geometry set with half the parts missing. Don ' t even consider doing your work at a desk, just lie face down on yotxr bed so that it is impossible to write, and keep that position for ten to twenty minutes, spending no less than two minutes on geometry and eighteen dreaming about the good time you had last week-end. At the end of the allotted time, decide that you simply can ' t do the horrid stuff, and go downstairs to spend the next half hour on the telephone. [13] My next lesson is how not to do Latin translation. This time lie on your back with your knees doubled up to support your book. Write the English translation above the Latin in the textbook: this makes it confusing, as it involves a great deal of erasing which practically obliterates the original text. My next bit of advice is, if you can ' t do the translation, pretend you did the wrong piece. Then if you are asked to translate during class you can look very much surprised and exclaim, O, I did the wrong one! This is good if you can get away with it. If the mistress is wise to this excuse, however, don ' t even attempt to do ihe assignment, and just hope you won ' t be asked. Next we come to history. If you are among the poor unfortunates who have to take notes during class, be sure to s cribble them down making abbreviations which you will not be able to deciplier later. Dreaming is another delightful habit to acquire, which will probably account for the many gaps in your notes. Then leave these notes until the night before you are asked to hand them in. This results in near writer ' s cramp and a cranky disposition, because it took you half the night to copy them into your good notebook. I might add that this procedure is sure to give you an A. French will be the subject of our next discussion. Most pupils find this language very difficult, but if you follow my expert advice I am confident that your marks will go up considerably. For example, if the assignment is to learn verbs and a vocabulary, find the noisiest room in the house, preferably one where your brother is playing with the dog. Turn the radio on — to a comedian if possible — and settle down on the nearest sofa. Turn to the right page, look at the verbs disgustedly and decide that Bob Hope is much more agreeable. After half an hour of this diligent studying, having tried to concentrate above the sound of the radio and the barking of the dog, decide you know the French well enough, and give it up as a bad job. This last bit of advice is intended for people who are asked to write an essay on just anything . Don ' t sit down and do any constructive thinking; that would be fatal — you would be sure to think of something; and as for looking up ideas in a reference book — perish the thought! Just phone one of the girls and discuss the situation. From my experience I predict that when you have finished you will be in the same position as when you started — confused. Finallv in desperation write on a tired old subject which half tlie class will use too: but don ' t let that worry you, it ' s a minor detail. When you start to write, don ' t do a rough copy — it calls for extra work. .lust put your essay right on to good paper: this makes the job of correcting twice the work. My last suggestion is an important one: no punctuation. It ' s too easy to read with silly little details like periods and commas stuck here and there. Make it as brief as possible: long essays are always so interesting! In closing I would just like to add, if anyone finds my course successful ■ — please let me know. Wendy Child, Form Vb, Gumming House. THROUGH A VIEW-MASTER Oh, how I long for that land far away, For the silver sand where the children play. For the foam-tipped surf and the birds on high, The dark green palms ' neath the pale blue sky. Oh, how I long for that far-away land, For the redwoods far from the silver sand, For Patrick ' s Point, and Custer ' s Tree, All of which I hope to see. Oh, liow I long for that land far away Where the medicine-man and the brave hold sway, Where the chief and his tribe, in their strange attire Hold council round a leaping fire. Now that my lovely dream is past, Fve travelled far and I ' ve travelled fast. But some day soon I hope to view The beautifvil scenes I ' ve described to you. ITH A SAD, tear-stained face, she walked into the room and sat down Vt quietly by the window. She felt as though she could cry no more; as though all the tears that bad ever been inside her were gone forever. She was beginning to get over the shock of losing her parents in such a rjiiick imbearable way, but now she felt loneliness and misery creeping in. ■ ' Plane crash . She would never be able to read or hear those terrible, biting words again without re-living the moment she had so recently gone through. ' lien that telegram arrived, telling her that the plane carrying her parents home had crashed into the sea with no survivors, she had not been able to realize that she would never see them again. It had taken nearly two days for her to understand that there would be no Hi ya, sugarplum from her father, aiul no Who ' s the heartbreaker this time ' ; ' from her adored mother; there wouM be just no anything. Jane Allison, Form IVu, Ross House. REVELATION [15] She sat there, gazing out of the window — the feeling of loneliness again swept over her, and the tears she thought herself incapable of shedding started again. Why had God done this to her? She had prayed so very earnestly that her parents would be brought home safely; she could not have prayed much harder. Yet, it had happened. He had done this terrible thing. Why? She vowed loudly and fervently that she would never believe in God again. NEVER. She would never pray again, not as long as she lived. She kept repeating these words over and over, until finally, through the mixture of a fear-clouded mind and a lonely heart, she realized what she had been saying. Witli realization came self-condemnation. What had happened to her? She felt ashamed and unworthy. In all humility she got down on her knees and prayed as she had never prayed before. She asked God ' s forgiveness for being so faitldess, and asked Him to help her never to become so weak again. She knew it would be hard without lier mother and father, but she also knew, although they were gone, she must work as hard as she possibly could to make them proud of her. She would try, and with God ' s help she would succeed. For the first time since she had received the news, she smiled through her tears. She got up, and, as she quietly walked out of the room, she saw, back- stage, the proud look on the faces of her parents. The final curtain went down, and, by the applause of the audience, she knew she had played her part well. Anne Berry, Form Vb, Ross House. CARMINA LATINA ' ' Spem Successus Alit Spem successus alit nostri ludi dictum est, Sed ut successum habeamus laborandum est. Debemus igitur omni nocte sine dubio Habere quattuor discenda et quinque nimdina. Spem successus alit Is the motto of our school. But, so that we may have success. Hard work must be the rxile. That, then, is the reason why We certainly can depend On having four lessons every night, And five on the week-end. Judy Cliff, Form Va, Gumming House. Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit When ordered very suddenly I looked at Prose and Poetry , Scribere Latine, Nepotem et Caesarem, Non potui arbitrari Sed ibi nihil inveni Of anything to say. To solve my great problem. So, after thinking many days. Poem a inceptum est. Opus confectum nunc babes, But not like Vergil ' s best ! Barbara Davison, Form Va, Ross House. [16] iHASTA LUEGO! THERE IS a wide strip of sand which stretches along the ocean of Rio dc Janeiro. It is the famous Copacabana Beach, lit at night by a string of pearls. At night, in the darkness, the pearls glisten and sparkle, ihe waves of the ocean lap the golden sand and creep up over the reinforced cement walks. There is a warm breeze that fans the faces of solitary walkers and rustles the petticoats of long skirts tliat twirl around trim, brown ankles of beautifvd senoritas. This is a world of soft colours, soft breezes, soft voices whispering sweet words, and eyes that speak messages of beauty. The mountains are lit by small lights that appear to hang from nowhere in a full sky of blackness. Close by the beach, across the road, another spell is being woven; there is a string of modern skyscrapers with large windows built to catch every breeze and bring relief from the stifling heat. From the doors and windows and outdoor cafes comes the vivacious sound of music and the laughter of many people who are selfishly glad to be alive, having forgotten everything except the present. There is dancing and music evervwhere, and a spirit of vinreality prevails over a gay world of haiipiness where all ugliness of decay is hidden under the mantle of blackness. All the Latin American countries have a high tempo which makes the blood beat faster; and their peoples are peoples of magic who dance and live with a joy and abandon that can be seen in the life sparkling in their eyes. Having once seen such expression in a face, it is impossible ever again not to be affected by its presence. Each person who has ever set foot on Spanish soil makes a silent vow to return and relive a holiday of memory and dreams. Rio in the daytime is entirely different from Rio by night. The ocean eats l)ungri]y and devours the sand as it climbs over the legs of ambitions early bathers. The sun is very strong, so everyone swims between eight and ten o ' clock. By mid-day the sun is too hot except for the natives, and they do not ap|)reciate their free beaches. Everyone eats outdoors in restaurants that crowd the bases of the hotels. The modern buildings add to the bright colouring of the sky, the sea, the ocean, and mountains and the people. [18] Tliese people are slim and beautiful, (rail and yet strong, because of God ' s gift of freedom. Tliey do not know bow to work, but tbey are ricb and do not need to — or tbey are so poor tbat tbey bave no clotbes, tbey use newspapers and leaves to bide tbeir bony ugliness. Tbey are old and bideous, deformed and beginning to deteriorate. Tbeir bomes are sbacks witb no walls, built bigh above tbe untainted Svbite ' section; tbey do not belong to tbe tourist ' s idea of beauty except in tbe sense tbat so mucb ugliness creates beauty, for instance, tlie beauty of tlie billside at nigbt. Tlie trees are splashy greens; tbere is jungle and a weird beauty that baiuits forever tbe eyes of the onlooker. Tbe roads are red, tbe sky, an un- clouded blue. Tbe people are dressed in colours tbat clash so strongly tbat tbey blend together into a harmonious rainbow. This helps to explain tbe tempera- ment of tbe people, who crave loud colours and music so strongl) tbat though it hurts tbe unaccustomed ears and eyes, it is beauty to them, and because of them, to us. Tbeir voices are harsh and crvide; they babble forth an endless stream of sharp sounds. Tbe nerves of tbe eyes are shocked and grated by tbe brightness and splendour of the sun against the world. Tbere is a magic mountain of Corcovado, and in tbe jungle on its summit stands the statue of Christ, a Christ who stretches forth his hands to bless all men who enter tbe harbour of Rio. At nigbt the Christ radiates a warm glow ibat can be seen from all directions, and as tbe plane rises from tbe airport, tbe statue waves a friendly good-bye, assuring the leaver tbat whenever he returns be will be welcome to take his place in a world of sbowy splendour. Reni Roberts, Form Arts VI. Fairley House. THE VISITOR The iiortb wind bowled, tbe snowflakes swirled in the solid blackness of the nigbt; Tlie snowdrifts piled outside tbe cabin, and the fir trees moaned; Tbe windows sparkled and glistened witli frost and ice; the cabin groaned. And I sat comfortably inside before the crackling firelight. A ()Ot of venison 1 placed before me. a mug of ale was on tbe floor; J [)repared to eat my supper, warm beside tlie fire, X atcbing tlic flames shoot uj) tbe chimney, slowly mounting biglicr, ben quite suddenly T heard a knock upon tbe cabin door I I opened it, and looking out, bebeld a man witb cold blue eves, White, snowy, sparkling robes, an icy beard, and long white hair, Icicles riangling on bis ears and nose; bis hands and feet were bare! His .skin was covered witb ice I He towered above me and was of great size. Without a word he strode right in, sat down and began devouring the meat. He kept away from the fire, though, and never spoke a word. I noticed all at once, the wind outside could not be heard. And strangely, the snow and ice remained on my visitor ' s clothes, and hands, and feet. Curious and puzzled, I paced the floor, then went and looked out though the window-pane. What I beheld made me rush to the door to see if it were true. After a suspicious glance at the stranger, outside I flew. To be sure, not a vestige of snow or a sign of the stormy winter did there remain. A clear moon shone down on snow-free trees, sleeping (lowers and sweet-smelling grass. Brown owls hooted lazily, drowsy birds twittered and chirped the end of the day. The night-breeze was warm. A chipmunk, startled, ciiattering, ran away. Fireflies sparkled, an animal swiftly and silently in front of the steps did pass. Wondering, astounded, I picked a handful of grass and flowers, then went in; Straight to the man I marched, my feelings holding full sway. What do you mean by coming here? Speak vip, I say! Explain your behaviour, sir, why do you devour my supper, and drink all my gni . ' ' The strange man smiled a secret smile of satisfaction, then arose; He smiled again, and said in a mumbling voice, Many thanks for the meal, I hope to continue my duties now that I ' ve eaten. I feel Much better! Then he went to the door. An icicle fell suddenly ofl his nose. He stretched, he yawned, he stepped outside, and was immediately lost in snow. Down came the flakes, the fir trees cracked, the ground became white again. I closech the door and went slowly inside; the north wind began to blow. Thinking tliat surely it was a dream, I laughed my remaining fears away. I wonder if that was King Winter, I thought, then my fears began anew: There on the chair was the ale, the fresh grass I had picked, and the (lowers too. The half-eaten meal was where he had left it; and on the floor the icicle lay! The north wind howled, the snowflakes swirled in the solid blackness of the night. The snowdrifts piled outside the cabin, and the fir trees moaned; The windows sparkled with frost and ice; the cabin groaned. And I sat mystified, before the dying firelight. Jan Torrancp:, Form IVb, Fairley House. SPRING IN THE COUNTRY In the Spring when trees are budding. In the country I would be. In the woodland ' s sun and shadow Where the stream runs merrily. Pussy willows by the wayside, Underfoot the violets blue, All the air is full of bird-song Ringing notes so clear and true. As the daylight slowly passes. And the simset paints the west With its rose and gold and azure. Then all nature seems to rest. Purple shadows on the mountain. Silver crescent in the sky. One by one the stars come peeping, Soft winds sing a lullaby. Anne Carman, Form IVa, Ross House. [20] FLIGHT MAN is forever searching for an escape. His tortured and confused mind is obsessed with the desperate dreams of fliglit from this world of illusions and bitter strife. He must find a place of solitude, a haven for his soul, a land of the heart where he may possess that most blessed of benefits — peace of mind. He travels through the world of existence, constantly searching for, beseeching a gate wliich will lead him to Life and Truth. In the midst of his search, with his disturbed mind whirling in the empty spaces of incomprehension, he perceives the warm glow of a fellow soul reaching through his labyrinth of discouragement and disillusionment, ready to draw iiim from out himself and into the world of day. Hesitantly, he advances, and, a little fearful, steps for a few brief seconds into the light. Glancing about him, he perceives visions of distorted reality, and hears the clashing sounds of discordant music. Everything beautiful appears to be deformed and ugly; all that had been serene and dependable is mocked and made ludicrous by burlesque. Turning to look at the friend who had drawn him into this land, he saw before him only a twisted desiccated shell of what had once been a man. His clawlike hands still clung to his wrists, and it was with a tremendous effort that he was eventually able to free himself from the deathlike grasp. Whither was he to travel now? The strangling blackness of confusion and incomprehension is once more upon him and the heaviness of it weighs upon his desperate soul even more painfully than it had previous to the short sojourn in the land of false light. Surrounding him on all sides were limitless cliffs, towering to eternity, and here at the foot of the crags he stood, meeting defeat wherever he turned. Yet beyond those peaks lay the land of escape, he felt sure. To reach it, to leave this dungeon of drudgery and futility was his sole dream now — it obsessed his very being and his frame was wracked with the over- powering desire. As days went on, his mind grew dry, his thinking narrow and his heart unresponsive to any requests of entry. His twisted soul was never allowed to gain rest — that sweet rest which is the only salve man can be assured of receiving. Something must occur to redirect this misled creature. He had no God now, for what was God but an illusion, as was every other beautiful thing in this detestable universe. Let other men have their God — the fools! He awoke to find himself lying on the firm warm earth. He lay in the shadow of a garden wall, and, protecting him from the eyes of any observers, were the arms of a hedge which pressed close against the inside of the wall. Unwillingly he opened his eyes to view the light wliich he felt caress his closed eyelids. Distrustfully he glanced about expecting to behold the same scene of depravation he had when last he came into a land of comprehension . But that whicli met his gaze was so serenely beautiful that he could but breathe his awe. A liitlierto unknown sense of peace crept through his limbs and body, filling his heart with a quiet happiness that he thought he had cast aside long ago with his cloak of idealism. The garden was so wonderfully lovely that when he spied the weeds entangled round the stem of the flower it came as a great surprise to him. Noticing the entry of a gardener through the gate in the wall, he wished to cry out to liini to destroy those weeds, for the glorious petals of the flower would .soon be torn were the pitiless thorns to reach tliem. Yet his lips could not move, |21| and his words went nnnttered. Lying still lie watched the gardener go about his work. After having completed any pruning, rearranging and plucking up that had to be done to the beautiful array of flowers and trees that peopled this garden, the gardener turned to the single flower with the divinely lovely petals, but which was being choked by the growth of weeds twined about its body. Taking his shears he began to root away the malicious murderers. While he cut, he spoke, and the man behind the hedge listened, first in disbelief, then in humility, and finally in great joy. The words he heard were these . . . This flower is mankind. When she was young she used to glance up to the great height achieved by her more experienced fellows. All she desired was to grow to an equal height, and so feel the glorious rays of the warm and friendly sun issuing life and beauty to her veins. But as time went on, the little flower began to suspect that never would she reach the desired height. Many of her companions had long since passed her in the race. At last, discouraged and despairing, she felt ashamed of her failure to grow. She sensed the mockery of her more successful neighbours and, humiliated, she drooped and tried to hide from the eyes of others. The deceiving weeds rushed to her assistance, oflFering their stranglehold embrace as an escape from the world. Once entangled in their grasp, she realized her mistake, and, in the hope of redeeming herself, ghe struggled onward, looking ever upward to the distant sim, forever conscious of the grip had by aliens on her body. Yet although she persisted, the weeds constantly gained power over her, until now only her petals remain free from their grasp. I have come to release her from these enemies, for I perceive that her soul lies in her petals. Yes, this flower is called mankind. The gardener tore from the stem of the flower the encircling weeds, and she slowly reached upwards until her petals kissed the face of God. The man under the hedge sprang to his feet and, at last understanding, he ran towards the gate in the wall and back to Life. There is no escape, no flight from life — it must be found within the confines of that existence which we call the Mind. Joan Lucas, Form Senior VI, Fairley House. FOR WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO RECEIVE . . . S I BOWED my head at grace before our Thanksgiving dinner, many reflec- tions passed through my mind. . . . What would be the reaction of European boys and girls if, for one miraculous day, they were given the opportunity of going to a football game, as I had done that afternoon? There must be thousands of people whose one remaining link with the past was their dream to taste what was before me — the white slices of turkey, the bright green brussels sprouts and peas, with the orange carrots for contrast, and the fluffy mashed potatoes topped with rich, brown gravy. How long has it been since those people have looked at the trees for their beauty, rather than for the warmth they would bring this winter? I wondered how many of them had inhaled the air filled with the smoke of burning leaves and had felt it really worth while to be alive in this wonderful season of Thanksgiving. . . . May the Lord make us truly thankful. Joan Knight, Form Arts VI, Ross House. [22] [23] SUCCESS Success is not found overnifjlit Instead with time it grows, Then it becomes a richer liarvest, And springs from seed it sows. The road is neither straight nor even But rough and very high. And as we climb, it seems to stretcli Still farther in the sky. The path, a steep and narrow one, Hard, and jagged of stone, Yet upward, onward, let us plod, Undaunted and alone. Success is not in merely fame, In glory or great wealth, Instead, the greatest victory Is mastery of self. Beverley Van Horne, Form Arts VI, Fairlcy House. FARM AUCTIONS SUMMERS in the country are enlivened by farm auctions, to which my friends and I go in cycling hordes. These auctions, which are held from time to time on the many farms in the neighbourliood of Rosemere, are never- failing sources of delight from the point of view both of the odd purchases to be made and of the people whom we rudely refer to as characters . Both the time and the place of the auction are given in the local paper, La Voix des Milles Isles , along with a long list of articles and the reason for the sale. The location of the farm is usually given with a fair degree of accuracy, but, by adding from two to three hours to the time stated, we usually arrive to find the auctioneer having a pre-auction guzzle from one of the two bottles carried in his hip pockets. To these bottles, one of which is usually rye and the other scotch, he refers at frequent intervals, all the while remarking that the day is un peu froid . Somehow, the day manages to be un peu froid even when the thermometer is hitting eighty degrees in the shade! Having sufficiently warmed himself, the auctioneer proceeds to read the conditions of sale in a rapid and confusing version of the French language. This we do not try to deciplier, but wait instead for the fun to begin. The wait is short, for soon the contents of junk sheds, storage houses, and barns are brought out. Cardboard boxes full of such objects as carriage lamps, powder horns, sleigh bells, sugar moulds, and the occasional piece of beautiful old china are soon being disposed of for about twenty-five cents each. Hand- blown bottles, of the true bottle-green, make lovely lamps and may be had for [24] about five cents as none of the farmers wants them. These farmers are interested onlv in farm implements and animals, and no doubt regard my friends and me as excellent examples of the daftness of modern youth. We, in turn, never cease to be both amused and amazed at the antics of some of these farmers. One day, a man bought a large barrel of lime which immediately split down the side. Instead of saving his lime, which the wind svas blowing away, the farmer stood shouting dire threats and demanding his quarter back. To the onlookers, the sight of an irate farmer hvigging a large barrel of lime was quite amusing, and served to send the assembled company into loud guffaws at their neighbour ' s plight. Another amusing character is a little man who comes to every auction, not to buy, but for the sheer joy of being there. He bids a half cent and is very much annoyed when the auctioneer disregards him. For these occasions, he has 1 vocabulary of choice words with which he bombards the auctioneer. Luckily, my vocabulary is not equal to his, for his face and actions take on a truly ferocious cast when some jokers suggest that he might try bidding a whole cent. Attending farm auctions, as well as being amusing, has a purpose. Old pine tables, chairs, cabinets, and chests may be bought for very little. These are covered with layers and layers of homemade paint, but, when this is removed and the object rubbed down with sandpaper, and waxed, a very graceful piece of furniture is acquired. Our dining-room is completely furnished in old pine for which a dealer in Montreal would charge about four hundred dollars. Spinning wheels, hand-woven rugs, old balances, and many other such articles are among the objects which my friends and I buy at auction sales. Among the local farmers, we have the repvitation of being slightly mad, especially since the day last summer when we were seen driving home in an old horse-drawn buggy with our bicycles and a carved pine bed loaded on behind. However, be that as it may, I cannot think of a cheaper or more delightful way of having an afternoon of good, clean fun, devoid of the super- fluous frills of city life. Anne Pattison, Form Science VI, Ross House. A DOG HERO TflK most famous veteran of 1918 was a mascot, a friendly little bull-terrier named Stubby. He never joined up in the regular way. He never went to a K-9 camp for basic training, as did all other dogs. Stubby went to Yale — that is, he had the run of the Yale University campus. He seemed to belong to no one, but he was the favourite of everyone. Stubby liked to watch the students training on Yale Field, and when orders came for them to go to camp, they took the little brindled bull-terrier, ,sith the friendly bobbed tail, along in the supply car. Later they smuggled liim on board the big transport that carried them across the Atlantic. Once when his friends were sleeping, he saved their lives by warning them of a gas attack. He warned his friends again when he found a strange man near the Ani ri( an trenches. When the stranger was caught he proved to be a German spy. Twice Stubby had to go to an army hospital — once when he was gassed, and again when he was wounded by a splinter from a German grenade. But each time he got well, and went through the hattles of Marne, Chateau Thierry and the Argonne. As a result of his hravery and devotion to duty, Stubby received several medals and many gifts. He was called the hero of the A.E.F. He took part in parades; he had his picture taken with General Pershing; he shook hands with thousands of people, including President Wilson. After the Armistice, Stubby came home with Corporal Robert Conroy. He lived eight years longer, and when he died his body was mounted and given to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington where it may be seen today. Elizabeth Friesen, Form IHb, Fairley House. SOMETIMES Sometimes, away down deep We wish for things, to keep Our minds and hearts, our dreams Alive and glowing, so it seems. Sometimes, when life stands gray. As morning skies at break of day. We turn our searching words and pray For things so little, day by day. But sometimes it ' ll be for keeps; Big things, when each soul seeks Its creator in a loving prayer — Always, He will be there. Mary Asselin, Form Arts VI, Barclay House. BEYOND THE HORIZON A BLACK stallion galloped through the night towards Crag ' s Cliff, a town in the Rockies. Its rider urged the beautiful beast on. He had to reach Ken before it was too late. The horse ' s limbs were aching from galloping for miles through mountain passes, but it would not give in. The rider ' s lips were pressed tightly together; his dark eyes peered through the darkness. He was worried, very worried. The horse stumbled and fell to the ground. The rider was thrown upon the road, where he lay as if dead. The horse whinnied, and this sound aroused its master, Allan White. Al limped over to his horse; the poor animal had [26] causht its hoof in a bear trap, and was in great pain. He patted its head, and after assuring it tliat he would be back with help soon, he started down the hill towards the town. Oag ' s C.liff was wild: the miners had returned and they were celebrating in the manv taverns. Al hurried through the streets to an old rooming house. He dashed up the stairs and ran along a dark hall to a small door at the end of it. His heart was beating madly. What if He turned the handle; the door vas locked. In a fury he threw lumseif upon it, again and again, and at last it fell. Al stood like a ghost at the door. He was too late. Ken was dead. He crossed the room and knelt beside his brother and opened his jacket. Just as he had feared, the money was gone. Ken and Al had come to Crag ' s Cliff two years ago, and during that time they had worked hard and earned a large sum of money. Now Ken was dead and the money was gone. We meet again, Allan. Al turned around to face a gun held by a sinister man, wearing dark glasses. You killed him, Pet e, you killed him! shouted Al. Of course I did, replied the murderer. But you can ' t prove it, and if you don ' t leave Crag ' s Cliff today I ' ll kill you. Al wanted to jump upon his enemy, but he knew that he didn ' t have a chance. You will pay for this, Pete, he murmured. A shot rang through the air. Al fell, and his murderer jumped out of the window to the street below, and disappeared into the night. Several months later, a prisoner in the town jail saw a man walking down the main street in Crag ' s Cliff; the man was leading a black stallion. The prisoner watched the man and his horse leave town and start out on their journey. At the top of a hill just outside the town, they stopped and looked down at Crag ' s Cliff. The town held many unpleasant memories for Al and his horse, and they turned their heads in the opposite direction. Ahead of them was the horizon, and beyond the horizon was a kingdom of beauty. They were entering a world of joy and a land of great happiness. The prisoner saw someone running to meet Al and his horse; it was Ken. The brothers and the stallion disappeared beyond the horizon. The prisoner could see them no longer; he took off his dark glasses, and waited for the guard to come. Barbara Magor, Form Vb, Ross House. A SUMMER EVENING Dl Sk is settling down over the clear, humid day that has just passed, bringing with it all the mysteries of the night. Everything is still and quiet. Occasionally this stillness is broken by the gentle evening breezes rustling through the tall, dry grass. The sunset touches ihe earth with her pale, delicately coloured fingers, adding strange hues and ■iliadows to the countryside. I lif lake has lost its daytime ' s brilliant blue, and the setting sun seems ti) iiiiiid ;i -liinimering bridge over the water. As the svm sinks lower in the v -l. llii lake graduallv turns to a greyish colour. The mountains on the (jppo-itf -.liorf! lend a dark contrast to the pale lake. [27] We can no longer see any part of the sun, but we are comforted by the moon, just begmning her nightly vigil over all earthly creatures. The quietness is now broken more frequently by the booming bass of the bull-frog and the bird-like pipings of the hylas. Myriads of fireflies are swarming from their daytime liiding places. We see their little lights fhckering to and fro, making an odd pattern against the black background. Mother Nature has put all her day-children to bed, and as we, too, fall into this category, we must sleep till the sun wakens us with her bright morning beams. Margaret Howard, Form IVa, Barclay House. WHERE THE FOREST MEETS THE OCEAN Where the forest meets the ocean, It is there I ' ve often stood, Upon the sea-swept rocky beach Beside the quiet wood. As I look toward the woodland So brightly green in hue. It seems as though it ' s sleeping So still in the morning dew. When now again I rest my eyes Upon the sea so wide, I wonder how the forest sleeps Beside the beating tide. Helen Holbrook, Form IIIb, Barclay House. [28] COUNTRY DAYS I live in the country not far from the town j The ground is all white and the trees are all brown, For it ' s Winter you see, And the sun does not shine. The leaves are all dead and the trees droop and pine. But when Spring comes along. And the birds start to sing, The sun gets up early and shines on each thing, And awakens the buds on the branches of trees, And we sleep to the music made by the breeze. In Summer it ' s hot, and the sky is so blue That it ' s pleasant to play, and there ' s so much to do. With the grass to be cut and the rose beds to weed. And the ground to keep soft to grow each little seed. But in Autumn it ' s sad, and the earth seems to know That the trees will dry up and soon we ' ll have snow. But this I may tell you — again birds will sing, For after cold Winter comes beautiful Spring. Prudence Reilley, Form II, Fairley House. ON EASTER IT was a sunny day. The Easter rabbit was making Easter eggs. While he was I()ing it niglit fell. Then he had to go and deliver the eggs. After he came lionic he went to bed. Marion Ballantyne, Preparatory I, Aged 6. EASTER The chickies are yellow. The rabbits are white, The flowers are pusliing Their heads to the light. KiLBY Anderson, Preparatory II, Aged 7. [29] THE DEM Every year Trafalgar School They climh the ropes, Puts on its famous Dem , And walk the bars, The parents flock to see their young Jump the horse, Perform in front of them. And march like tars. The tiny ones are a treat to see, They lightly dance and shout with glee. Miss Box ' s work has been well done. The parents enjoy it and the girls have fun. Judy Brow, Form Upper 11, Barclay House. THE FLOWERS ONE day I woke up and jumped out of bed. I thought my goodness me this is Easter day ! So I ran to the window and looked out. The snowdrops, violets and crocuses were in bloom. So I went creeping along at a snail ' s pace into Mummy ' s and Daddy ' s room. Happy Easter! Happy Easter, Mummy and Daddy! I went back to my room feeling very happy. Elizabeth McKay, Preparatory II, Aged 7. MY DOLL My doll is pretty, I love her so much. Her hair is like velvet, It is lovely to touch. Betty Shannon, Preparatory I, Aged 6. THE GOLDEN GERM THERE was once a king who ruled over one-hundred and twenty cities. Kings are usuallv quite proud when they rule this much, but this king was not. The trouble was that he had a beautifvil daughter who was always sick. He tried every doctor in the country, but none could cure her. One day, while the king was walking, he came to a well. As he was looking down into it to see the water, the air was suddenly filled with a strange perfume and sparks dashed in front of his eyes. There in front of him stood an old woman. Will you draw me some water? she asked in a high-pitched voice. The king, too startled to say anything, picked up a jug that suddenly appeared in front of him and immediately filled it. Tell me, old woman, where did you come from, and what are you going to do? questioned the king. I have come from Witches ' Tower. [30] The king jrave a start at this for he had heard about the terrible things the witche;! did. I am here to cure your daughter from her sickness if you will give me the third ruby in your crown, she said. The king was overjoyed and started taking off his crown, when the old voman handed him a box. In this box, she said, is a germ which will cure any sickness, but you cannot have it until you give me the ruby. The king took out the ruby and gave it to her sadly, for it was one of his biggest. Now, it happened tliat the King had a cook who had a very ugly, mean daughter who was always sniffing and coughing. When the king came in, the cook noticed that he was hugging a box very tightly and was curious to know its contents. The king heard his daughter calling to him, so he absentmindedly set his box down. As soon as the king had gone, the cook walked over to the box and read the directions — Put the germ on the patient. Leave for half an hour. He or she will be well. The cook stared at it and then at her daughter, who was sniffing and coughing in the corner as she peeled potatoes. Daughter, go to my room and get the gold box in the top drawer, said the cook. The daughter gave a sniff and a cough and went to the room. Then, the cook quickly substituted her gold box for the real one. When the king came down to get his box, he found it a little smaller, but he did not take much notice of this. The king took the box upstairs, took out the germ, which was really gold dust, and put it on his daughter ' s arm. He waited half an hour, but nothing happened. The king was quite angry at this, so he went back to the well, and looked into it again. Suddenly, the air was filled with a terrible perfume, and red and green sparks flashed everywhere. They all stopped as suddenly as they had started, and there sat the old woman. Will you draw me some water? Angrily, the king did as he was told. What do you want? Didn ' t I cure your daughter? she asked. I want my ruby back, he said stubbornly. Why do you want it back? she asked. Because the germ you gave me did not cure my daughter, said the king. Someone has taken the germ and lias put something else in a different box. Can you think of anybody who would? Why, yes, I think I can. The cook eyed me very savagely yesterday, and I noticed that her daughter had stopped coughing and sniffing, he said. Well, take this stick and pretend to treasure it, for you know the cook likes things people treasure. Take it and set it near the cook. As soon as she loiu lics it say. Stick, heat. ' Then, ask her where tlie germ is, for the stick will go on beating till you say, ' Stick, stop. ' The old woman shrunk away as she said this, an«l suddenly was gone. The k ing took the stick home and put it near the cook. The cook, when she saw the stick, touched it. Stick, beat. said the king. Then, the stick began to beat and beat the old cook. Where have you put my germ? asked the king. It is in my top drawer, cried the old cook. The king ran to get his germ. Then, he ran up the stairs with the germ in his hand, forgetting all about the cook who was being beaten all this time. He took the germ and put it on his davighter ' s arm. In half an hour she was well. Meanwhile, the cook was running around screaming. She ran out the door thinking that the stick could only beat her while she was in the room. However, instead of staying in the room, the stick followed her. So, when the king came downstairs, he could not find the cook to say, Stick, stop. The cook is probably running still with the stick rinming after her. If you look through the window, you might see her running yet. As for the germ, it was placed in the king ' s museum of royal arts. Judy McDougall, Form II, Barclay House. DREAMS When I dream in my bed.

JUST TURN THE DIAL I AM lying on the floor, my legs in the air — perfect peace! I am bored, so I turn on tbe radio and twiddle the dial. Ah, here ' s a station — My darling, I love you, will you elope weeth me tonight? I ' ave monee- (Girlish titter.) Oh Pedro, you are so handsome ! Yes, I will, darling . (Long-drawn- out-kiss.) Ough, corny, maybe this station is better — Now, ladies, raisins in the batter, and dent the mixture with a hammer; next add three lumps of carrot and diced banana, and, lastly, four lumps of turtle. I switch stations again — My handsome prince, I knew you would come. (The princess bursts into horrible song.) Again I twiddle the dial — Ladies, the Crazy Gang. (Delighted cheers and claps, lots of silly gags, and worse songs ! ) At length I turn to Station CZZZ — And the cat said to me, ' You silly monkey! ' (Roars of laughter.) Then, in a frenzy, I turn to — I ' ve got you, ' tec. You are shut in an under- ground dungeon. The walls are closing in on you and, in a few minutes, a chopper with a few daggers will fall on you. The dungeon will slowly fill with water. If you should chance to escape, my men are waiting with daggers, knives, guns, bombs, cannon, swords, pistols, hypodermic syringes, poisonous snakes, and a few ray guns ... I switch again. Oh, dear! — Yes, ladies, you can be more beautiful in less than two hours if you use ' Bubberly, Wubberly Bath Soap ' ! One person has tried it — that proves it ' s good! Once again — I ' ve got you Sviperman! I will kill you. Hahahahalia ! No more radio for me tonight! ! Carol Lamb, Form II, Cumming House. [32] MY DREAM ' liile A alking through the woods one day, I met a fairy queen, Her hair was gokl, her eyes were bkie, her gown was grassy green. She asked me if I ' d hke to take a trip to fairyland. And need I sav that my reply was, Yes, that would be grand. ? So bv the hand she led me, through forest, field, and stream; I followed close beside her just as if it were a dream. I hadn ' t quite decided that, when Mom came in the room. And then I woke and said to her, You broke my dream too soon. Barbara Newell, Form II, Gumming House. AT CHRISTMAS TIME At Christmas time we shout with glee. And gather ' round the Christmas tree, j There ' s great excitement in the air. While we open presents wrapped with care. Santa ' s brought us lots of toys. And we are lucky girls and boys. We slide down hills of icy snow, Then home for turkey dinner go. Barbara .Jordan, Form Upper I. CORAL UNDER THE SEA When I go up to tlie mountain. When I go up to tlie mountain, It ' s like under the sea. The coral ' s on the trees, ' Cause the ice is coated pink And it ' s glittering and shining On every tree. In the chilly mountain breeze. When I go up to the mountain And look up at the trees, I say to myself, I ' m out of breath Because I ' m under the seas. Katama Bonthron, Form Upper I. LIFE IN A COUNTRY SCHOOL DURING the war my father was in the Navy, and. being a doctor, for the last three years of the war he was stationed in St. John, New Brunswick, so we all moved tliere. For the first year we lived in St. .John, but we then moved to Westfield, which is in the country. Being too young to travel into town to scliool. I had to go to tlie country school, and it was a lot of fun. It was a small school house with one big room in which there were pupils froni gra i( s one to seven, with one teacher for all grades. There were both girls and boys. Some of the boys were bigger than the teacher and were very hard to manage. I was only in grades two and three while I was there, but we used to listen to the older pupils. Sometimes we could answer their questions for them and that made them angry. Spelling was fun because the teacher would start at grade two with a word and then go right up to grade seven, so we had plenty of time to write our own word. Most of the pupils took their lunch to school, and the lunch hour was wild. We ate our lunch in tlie class-room, and we each had a cup with our name on it. After lunch, we played games outside, and in the winter we all took our skis to school to ski on a big hill nearby. Some people brought sleighs to slide. Then, we came in and hung our wet clothes over open registers to dry, and the smell of damp clothes drying was terrible. Every special day like St. Valentine ' s, Hallowe ' en, etc., we had a party to which we brought refreshments. At Christmas time we had a special party to which our parents were invited. We sang carols and put on a play. Everyone used to come from miles around and we all had such a good time! Hallowe ' en was specially good fun because the teacher made the parents do silly things and we would sit and laugh at them. I am very glad that I do not always have to go to a country school, but somehow I do not think that I shall ever forget the Westfield school and the fun and happy times that I had there. Elizabeth Bkooks, Form II, Gumming House. UN CONTE DE FEES IL V avait une fois, im petit garcjon qui s ' appelait Pierre. Pierre etait un tres bon petit gar on. II avait des cheveux noirs, et des yeux bleus. Une nuit, pendant que Pierre dormait, une petite fee entra. EUe se dirigea vers le lit de Pierre et dit avec une toute petite voix, Reveillez-vous, Pierre! et venez avec moi au pays des fees. Pierre se reveilla, et il mit ses vetements. La , petite fee donna a Pierre m verre d ' eau, qu ' il but. Quand il eut bu I ' eau, il s ' apergut qu ' il etait tout petit comme la fee. La fee amena Pierre au jardin de la maison. Alors la fee dit a Pierre, Venez dans ce trou, Pierre. Pierre alia dans le trou, et il tomba. Quand ses pieds toucherent le fond, il vit qu ' il etait dans un beau pays. Voici le pays des fees, Pierre, dit la fee- Et voici la reine qui vous conduira au palais royal. La reine des fees etait tres belle. Elle avait de beaux cheveux dores et de beaux yeux bleus. Elle dit a Pierre, Venez vite, Pierre, au palais royal. Le roi, mon pere, est mort depuis douze mois, deja, et tous mes sujets veulent que vous soyez roi. Voulez-vous venir maintenant? Pierre etait si joyeux qu ' il ne put dire que, Oh! ... II y eut un grand banquet en I ' honneur du nouveau roi, et toutes les fees crierent, Dieu sauve le roi. Apres le repas, la reine dit a Pierre, Venez, Pierre, que je vous couronne . . . Reveillez-vous vite, c ' est I ' heure pour Fecole. Pierre se reveilla. II n ' etait pas au pays des fees, mais dans son lit. Et sa mere lui dit alors, Levez-vous vite, Pierre, en souriant. Oti etiez-vous? Au pays des fees?, Pierre la regarda im moment et dit tres serieusement, Oui, maman, j ' etais au pays des fees, toute la nuit. Vicky Cumyn, Form 11, Fairley House. [34] THE LADY OF THE LAMP There are footsteps in the attic And a rustle on the stair. The wind is pushing at the door, And Avhirling everywhere. The shutters swinging outwards, And the leaves are brown and damp; I see her glide before me — ' Tis the Lady of the Lamp. She smoothed the wrinkled pillow hich is underneath my head. When I shut my eyes and see her She is very near my bed. Her name is Florence Nightingale, And the soldiers of the camp They blessed her and they called her The Lady of the Lamp . Heather Woods, Form II, Gumming House. THE DESERTED HOUSE The sun shines through the window On to the dusty floor. No fire burns in the soot-black grate, The curtains hang no more. Silky, shining spiders ' webs Hang in a corner dark. A snail crawls in through the door And leaves his silver mark. No birds are near the house so old, No squirrels e ' er come by, All is still, no one is near, Except the snail and I. Caryl Churchill, Form Upper I. MY DOG My dog is cute and tiny. His coat is black and shiny. His day begins at six o ' clock When he trots out with me to walk. He rims and runs the whole day through.

Halleluia! Press time now . . . Time Out for Foreign Correspondence As told to the Star interviewer : I stood there for a moment on tlie corner of Obispo in liopes of getting my bearings. Mentally 1 traversed the route I must follow — suddenly my musings were interrupted as I felt myself besieged iiy countless ragged children, each with flashing black eyes and hrown skin — los centavos, senor — los centavos! But before I had time to distribute what change I had amongst the grimy outstretched hands, I found my attention drawn towards a few dusty rags in the gutter before me. These rags clothetl what once must have been a man, but who now was hut the shadow of a skeleton. All except his weird sing-song voice seemed part of the earth on which he was crouched. Stretched out into the street were enormous lottery cards and in his clawlike hands were held smal- ler tickets, the nund)ers on which corresponded with those on the larger cards. The man had a hypnotic charm ai)out liim, i)ut nevertheless I was glad when a few minutes late r I found myself several centavos poorer and one lottery ticket richer, on the other side of the street and away from him. I swung on to the side of a street- { Continued on Page 3) [36] SEPTEMBER 1948 — JUNE 1949 THROUGH DANTE ' S EYES What Dante has seen and often heard Nobody knows, for he breathes not a word. Through those stern, white eyes, now tarnished with age He spies out each secret on tlie school-girl ' s stage. When the near-distant sounds of footsteps arise, The uproar ceases while the paper flies. Perhaps it ' s a book Miss On-Duty forgot, Or maybe it ' s part of some deeply-laid plot. Once danger is past, the discussions resume. Till the dinner bell calls us of food to consume. As quick as a flash, the stage is deserted. Le aving poor Dante somewhat disconcerted. Then the poet alone in the silence you ' ll find The afternoon ' s happenings all stored in his mind. You may threaten or beg, oh, curious Staff , But Dante will ne ' er tell you half of the half. THE STEADH Y RISING SEA As the wind howled and whistled through the trees, one could hear the crashing of the sea upon the wave- beaten shore. The glow of firelight shone brightly through the uncurtained windows of the old mariner ' s hut. While passing the bleak spot, one coidd see the sil- liouetted forms of tlie old man and bis red col He. The man ' s head was bent in reading a seatale to a little cliihi who, on the (h-atli of her nu)lher, had l ceii cnlnislcd to his care. The wild abandon of the storm in- creased — the sea was rising, and was steadily creeping nearer to the door- step of the cottage. All the while, with- in tlie hovel, the old man continued reading to the listening child. Then suddenly, a crash — a wave broke, and then nothing — just a ( liihl ' s shrill cry shattering the still- ness of the night. Renee Goldstone Form IIIb, Ross House. SEPTEMBER 1948 — JUNE 1949 Page 3 You Gotta Gettup Six forty-five! The rising l)ell breaks the silence of the Upper Dorm in particular, i)ecause, no doubt, the early risers in the Lower Dorm have disturbed all tranquillity long since. With one accord, at least three of the Staff rush down the hall and disappear into you know where for the morning ablutions. Meanwhile, what is happening in the Upper Dorm? A passerby might catch the odd groan as one of the occupants turns herself over, but otherwise there is no activity. Between seven o ' clock and ten past seven the three Staff members emerge into the hall looking a little less sleepy, and each takes a look into the Upper Dorm. Should she disturb their slumbers? How should she go about it? Her first impidse is to bellow, but just as she is about to emit that great, deep breath which she has drawn for the occasion, her eye lights on the sign Quiet please! This means you! Shortly, she exhales the excessive air and returns to her room to dress Will they be ready for devotion at seven twenty-five? Of course — if by ' ready ' one means minus one shoe and stocking, hair uncond)ed, belt missing from uniform, and so forth. The odd one even insists, standing there in her unmentionables, that she is ready. The day is saved! The ' line ' at seven- thirty finds them all ready to talk and eager to eat. Who ' s Talking? (Overheard telephone conversation of one of the boarders.) Hello — oh, hello ducks! What? No kidding! (jad! (followed by a burst of laughter). Holy Cow! Yeah . . . Well, goodbye, ducks! What ' s the Score? What ' s the score? says a voice in the middle of a variously-tuned snoring. No answer! She waits a while, listening, but only groans answer her question. Impatient, she gets up and walks the length of the Upper Dorm, twice . . . But Canadiens have to win . . . maybe Detroit ' s ahead . . . oh, why doesn ' t anybody know the score? . . . She peeps into all of the rooms to see if anybody is awake. But no, all are sleeping — asleep indeed in the most peculiar positions, rarely found but at tiiat time of the night. She returns to her room, restless, not knowing what to do with herself. The snor- ing unnerves her — the squalling of the dogs, and the serene faces of the sleepers irritate her. But a familiar voice — deep, manly in- tonations — shatters her silent perplexity. She jumps up and runs to the window. With beating heart she hears the description of the final three minutes of the game. At last the voice is heard no more, and a giggle escapes her as she runs back to her bed. There, with a profound and long-drawn- out ' Holy Cow ' , muttered to herself, she joins the snoring of her nine room-males, exhausted, but happy. Sunset Over Mexican Waters When daylight is fading and night is approaching, the sea appears as a mirror and the setting sun reflects its rays on the water. As I walk along the beach, the sunset glow seems to imite the sky and the sea into one lovely being. The waves rush in to break on the white sands, the soil re- ceives the hoary foam. After a few minutes of this magic, the sunset rays leave the sky, and as the night takes possession of the earth 1 feel that all that beauty has been nothing but a dream. Marta Carhillo, Form HIa, Fairley House. (Continued from Page 1) car which was grumbling its way through the mob-packed streets. I grasped, through the window, the back of a seat within the car and thus sup- ported myself in this unique ride through Havana. A million strange sounds, colours and smells assailed my senses as I passed from place to place. I was no longer an Americano to be pointed at — I had become part of the spirit of this great and strange city, and delighting in the gla nour and excitement of it all, my language dif- ficulty no longer seemed a barrier and in my stilted Spanish I shouted opin- ions back and forth with my dark- skinned companions with whom 1 was sharing this memorable although un- authorized journey.

[48] PREFECTS ' PAGE HOUSE REPORTS BARCLAY HOUSE THIS year Barclay House has not been doing well. In the Singing C ompeti- tion we were not successful — coming last — but we would like to thank Miss Jaques for her help and kindness in lending us the costumes. We managed, however, to come third at the end of the first term. There were many new girls this year — nineteen, to be exact — who have done quite a lot of work and contributed greatly to the spirit of the House. In the athletic field we were represented  n llic basketball teams by .ludy White and Ann McDougall, who were on the first team, while Joyce C.harles and Tassie Metrakos contributed greatly to the success of the second team. We wish to give many thanks to Miss Stansfield for her help and encourage- ment, and we wish Barclay House the best of success and good luck! in the many years to come. Winky Horsley Ann McDougall GUMMING HOUSE ALTHOUGH Gumming has not been very successfid so far as to the collection of house points, we have had an enjoyable and interesting year. Thanks are to be extended to Miss Gam for her kind aid and helpful guidance, and to the House heads. Heather Gumyn and Pat Burbidge, who have worked hard in trying to pull up Gumming ' s standard. A good many girls from the younger forms show much promise, and it is to be hoped that the experience they have gained this year will help them later on to bring Gumming once more up to top rank. The H,ouse Gompetition was held in November, and we all had fiuv practising for it. We sang a hymn, a selection from H.M.S. Pinafore , and a House song, very well written and composed by Heather Gumyn and Judy Gliff. This year our House was well represented on the School basketball teams. On the first team was Elaine Albert; and on the second team were Pat Burbidge, Bunty Poole, Sylvia Dennis, Ernita Elton and Greta Straessle. There are still several House events to come before the year is out, among them being the spelling match, the general knowledge test, and Sports Day. So I hope that Gumming will have more success in them and live up to her motto, Facta Non Verba . „ , ,r Fhilippa Hansard, l orm V Representative. To Philippa ' s able report we would like to add that we have had a very enjoyable year as heads, and that we wish the very best of luck for Gumming House in future years. „ Heather and Pat. [50] FAIRLEY HOUSE Service Before Sc AT press-time, the Fairley girls are still workinfi in an attempt to bring the House into top rank, in view of the final reckoning in Jime. In the House activities up to date. Fairley has invariably ranked second, but we still have hopes of climbing back to the top position which we held last year. This year Fairley is represented on the School basketball teams by Joy Nicol, who plays on the first team, and by Reni Roberts, who is the secretary of the School Games Committee. On behalf of tlie girls of Fairley, we would like to extend our most grateful thanks to Mrs. Leonard, our new House mistress, for her encouragement and invaluable assistance in the managing of the House affairs. Thanks also should go to Reni Roberts, our Red Cross representative, for her most enthusiastic support of the House. In closing we would like to extend our gratitude to all of those who have shown interest and effort in gaining points for the House, and we would like to wish the members and future heads of Fairley the very best of luck in the vei.rs to come. Elizabeth Cousins Joan Lucas ROSS HOUSE Ross House has been living up to its high standards of work and good sportsmanship this year. We are pleased to say that Ross came first, with a lead of two hundred points, at the end of the Christmas term — keep it up, girls, and let us hope for the best in June! The House was fortunate enough to win the Music Competition. A vote of thanks should go to Anne Berry as our hymn-player and conductor of the Music Competition. Barbara Cunningham, Betty Hawthorn, Helen Stone, Jocelyn Stevens and Heather Cleveland represented the House on the Ski team this year. Barbara, Betty and Jane Allison have done some good work on the School basketball teams. The girls have knitted, sewed and read with utmost enthusiasm, and special mention is due to Anne Pattison, Betty Quinlan, and our Fifth form representa- tive, Barbara Davison. On hcliair of the girls, v e owe many thanks to Miss Harvie, our House mistress, who liat; been a pillar of strength to Ross House. We wisli Ross House the best of luck and we hope it will continue the good work in years to come. Suaviter in more, fortiter in re .

These were: Reni Roberts for Fairley, Janet Deakins for Ross, Judy Cliff for Cuniniinu;, and Dorothy Yale for Barclay House. Exhibitions of work from time to time showed that there were many busy knitters and sewers in the school. Among many other things made was a complete outfit for a five-year-old blind girl in England. At Christmas, over one hundred and twenty parcels were collected by the girls and sent to the tree at Ogilvy ' s. These were later dis- tributed to war veterans. In March, the sum of fifty-two dollars was raised and sent to the Red Cross. I In closing we would like to — — — thank Ann McDougall, Peggy Long, Shirley Tinkler and Mar- jorie Anne Payette for all the work they have done throughout the year. $$$MISSION MONEY$$$ Science VI Arts VI Senior VI Form Va Form Vb Form IVa Form IVb Form IIIa Form IIIb Form Upper IIa Form Lpper 11b FORM TREASURERS Julia Heartz Louise Millington Judy White Anne Berry Suzanne Brown Jane Allison Nancy Blachford Margaret Sparks Susan Birks Anne Pettet DONATIONS Welfare Federation $ 55.00 Miss Hasell $ 40.00 Y.W.C.A. $100.00 Children ' s Memorial Hospital •1140.00 (Canadian Red Cross $ 52.5.3 Save liie ( hildren Fund $ 71.9.3 LIBRARY REPRESENTATIVES Science I Makgaret Brown Arts VI Senior VI Betty Hawthorn Form Va Elizabeth Webb Form Vb Pat Wright Form IVa Sheila Archibald Form IVb Joyce Rudenko Form IIIa Barbara Chadwick Form IIIb Anne Johnson Form Upper IIa Marjorie Blair Form Upper IIb Frances Magor Form II Annik Smith Boarders Reni Roberts ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We wish to thank the followino; Old Girls, memhers of the Staff, pupils and other friends of the School, who have presented hooks to the Library during the past year: Nora Corley for Costain ' s The Moneyman ; Margo Cronyn for Wilde ' s Plays; Betty Mills for three Canadian books; Mrs. J.

W. Harvie for a year ' s subscription to The Reader ' s Digest . [54] ART REPORT FROM last March, with the presentation of Milestones , until press-time, with the Juniors ' Puppet Show, Miss Jaques and the special art classes have produced a great amount of admirable work. Last year ' s activities, Milestones and the sketching trip taken by five of the Studio Group to Quebec on the twenty-fourth of May week-end, are both written up elsewhere in the Magazine. The first term of this year saw the Lower School performance of The Crosspatch Fairies . For this very successful production. Form Upper I made the scenery, and the Junior Extra Art group provided each fairy with a pair of gay butterfly wings. The Christmas Pageant was a most interesting and entertaining spectacle put on by Forms III, IV and V. In form it resembled a European peasant ( iiristmas festival. The school, as a choir in the gallery, sang carols arranged according to the country of their origin, and, during the singing, groups in national costiune made a procession to the crib. Each group carried banners and floats, the latter being very skilfully-made replicas of churches and creches, such as are carried in Europe on these occasions. Photographs of the French and Spanish groups appear below, and there were also Czech, Polish, English and German groups. The entrancing backdrop of tropical scenery made by the Sixth Form for the Graduation Dance given by the Old Girls, and the charming costumes used in the Second Form ' s item Come to the Fair in the gymnastic demonstra- tion, showed that, as in other years. Miss Jaques and the Art Groups were very ready to cooperate in using their talents to help in the annual school events. A new departure this year was a display of art work done by Old Girls since they left Trafalgar. For a while our corridors were made gay with a variety of scenes, portraits and designs, some of which even ousted a few of the [)hotographs from the gallery of Governors! Gathering the material for this disfjhiy, .setting it up, and returning it must have entailed a great deal of work, and Miss Jaques is to be heartily congratulated on both her idea and her execution of it. Scarcely were these |)i( tiires off ' the walls than another set took their place. These represented work done by the Studio Group during the year. For a week they brightenefl our trips from room to room, and were much admired by all; then, at tlie end of llic week, the Studio (iroup gave a tea to which they invited llifir |);ircnl- and friends. [.13 J On the last day of the Easter term, the Junior Extra Art Group presented a Puppet Show of Alice in Wonderland . The scenery and the puppets, made and worked by the children themselves, were very effective and appealing. Once again we congratulate Miss Jaques and the Art Groups on a varied and successful year ' s work. MILESTONES LAST May, as all the old girls know, Trafalgar and Lower Canada College produced a play entitled Milestones . Miss Allana Reid and Mr. R. B. MacKinnon were the directors and the cast was selected from the senior school of Traf and L.C.C. Two performances were given, one on Thursday, May 13th, and one on Friday, May 14th, and, we are happy to say, both nights Trafalgar ' s gymnasium was filled to capacity. Quite a large number of boys and girls were needed for the cast, the understudies, the stage crew, and the prompters. A few girls were also picked to look after the costimies. The understudies did not only learn their parts, but they were a great help backstage. Barbara Link, Jill Hutchinson, Heather Adair, and Jacqueline Beaudoin put on a little show of their own in between Act 2 and Act 3. Barbara, Jill, and Heather sang a few songs which were popular at the turn of the century, while Jackie accompanied them on the piano. This made an extremely enjoyable added attraction. If you had been backstage with us on Thursday, our opening night, you would have seen a fairly calm group. No one was overly nervous, bixt there was a slight feeling of excitement in the air. The lab, which was being used for a make-up room, was alive with imimportant chatter and the art room was buzzing with the voices of girls calling for pins, thread, etc. Backstage that night was like backstage at any other opening night; busy, cheerful, expectant. [56] We were not exactly sure whether our audience would respond well, or whether we would put it over well, but by the middle of the first act, our fears were gone. Our audience, both on Thursday and Friday nights, was wonderful, ' e were extremely fortunate because only one slight mistake was made and that was covered up very well. All in all, the play was a great success. The costumes and scenery, under the supervision of Miss Jaques, were indeed a work of art. We all worked very hard to put on the play but we had a great deal of fun doing it. We had many rehearsals and Miss Reid really deserved a long rest after the play was over. Miss Reid and Miss Jaques worked very, very hard and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them both for all they did. Yes, the play was a success, and perhaps someday Trafalgar and L.C.C. will decide to try again. If this be the case, I can only say that I hope they have as much success and as much pleasure as we had in putting on Milestones. Anne Berry, Form Vb, Ross House. A TRIP TO QUEBEC ON the week-eiul of the twenty-fourth of May, two groups of Trafites set out in high spirits for Canada ' s oldest city: Quebec. One group were art students, and the other historians . When we left Montreal it was pouring. On the train time passed quickly, and several of us learned how to play bridge. Upon arriving in Quebec, we found it still pouring, but we retired, confident that it would be fine the next day. However, we were sadly disappointed. Despite the weather, we set off for breakfast, after which we split into two groups and started to explore. Quebec is a city of steep hills and flights of stairs. There is one elevator which takes people from Lower Town to Upper Town. It gives one quite a thrill as it rises up the perpendicular stone clifF. In the city itself are numerous monuments and historical buildings such as Joliet ' s house, the Chateau Frontenac, the Duke of Kent ' s house, the Seminary, MI.S. ALLAN KKII) MISS REID AND THE HISTORY (;R0UP at QUEBEC [r,7| Notre Dame des Victoires Churcli, the Church containing the Cardinal ' s throne, and the convent of a famous order of Sisters who will gladly show you Montcalm ' s pickled liead. and the place where the rest of liis body is buried. There are also monuments to Louis Hebert, Montcalm and Wolfe, Louis XIV, and Jacques Cartier. A short distance outside the city is the big Museum and a second statue to Montcalm and Wolfe. There is a wax museum which presents such realistic scenes that one can almost see the figures move. The scenes are those of white man versus Indian, and of habitant life. The famous Citadel and Plains of Abraham were visited very tlioroughly. The historical facts and explanations were given by a guide who conducted us through an arch which runs right around the Citadel inside the huge walls. From the plai ns may be seen the St. Lawrence River far past the New Orleans Bridge. e were fortunate enougli to see a French ship anchor off the Co%e, and hear a salute fired from the Citadel. e spent a very satisfactorv afternoon out at Montmorency Falls, and explored the surrounding area. Although we were only a short time in Quebec, we gained much by the trip. Despite its being a holiday week-end, we even went to college — Laval University — for a visit. It rained the whole time, but this did not dampen anyone ' s spirits. The art class came home with numerous sketches, while the history group contented themselves with the use of cameras. I am sure the girls who went to Quebec will join me in thanking Miss Reid and Miss Jaques for a very pleasant and instructive week-end. Margaret Brown, Form Science VI, Ross House. THE CROSSPATCH FAIRIES THE night of Friday, December the seventeenth, saw the ushering in of Trafalgar ' s uletide spirit in full force, for it was on that evening that the forty-six pupils of the Forms Preparatory to Upper I presented before an enthusiastic audience of parents and students the entertaining Christmas play, The Crosspatch Fairies. From the rising of the curtain on the ( hristmas Eve scene in the nursery, through the visit to Santa ' s workshop at tlie cold north pole, to Sister Sue ' s final bedtime song Christmas Dreams, the audience was transported into a Christmas-time fairyland. Many fathers and mothers smiled to see their own little Bo-Peep or Bobby Shaftoe cautioning others as to the special behaviour demanded of children by the festive season. The principal character and soloist of the play was eight-year-old Bambi Heubach, who, in the role of Carol a little girl who liked to be a crosspatch , performed and sang magnificently. Bambi ' s rendition of I ' m tired of being good-natured brought forth many gasps of admiration from the spectators. Linda McDougall, playing the part of Sister Sue who liked to tell Christmas stories also displayed considerable acting ability and sang two very pleasing solos. Barbara Jordan, in the role of Santa Claus, and Beatrice Phillips, in that of bis wife, both played well, as in fact did all of the elves, fairies, and other toyland personalities, each of whom entered whole-heartedly into her part. [58] Much of tlie success of the play is due to Miss Hatfield, who, having given up much of her time to the directing of the performance was, at the conclusibn of it. presented with a bouquet of roses by little Barbara Clark, the Baby Polly of the play. Miss Jaques and Miss Ridout made all of the costumes worn by the actors, w hile Miss Jaques, in addition, designed the scenery. e sincerely hope that the great success of The Crosspatch Fairies will insure the promise of similar productions by the Junior School in the future.

It had to be postponed, however, because of rain and eventually took place on the Upper Field of the Molson Stadium on May 25th.

We are all looking forward to the event this year, in the hope that the weather is favourable and allows us to have the use of the Lower Field. JUNIOR FIELD DAY The Junior Field Day was lield on the 2nd of June in the School garden. Parents, tcacliers and students from Form Upper I down attended. Although the Senior School was barred as spectators, nimours of the great feats reached the ears of iIh- rddcr ;iirls. [61] BASKETBALL THIS year there was an entirely new basketball team, as the previous year ' s players had all firaduated. The first team consisted of Betty Hawlhorn, Elaine Albert and Barbara Cunningham as shots, and Joy Nicol, Judy White and Aim McDougall as guards, with Judy Cliff as reserve. Despite the new team, the girls were playing together very well after several hard practices at the .W.C.A. Althougii they did not do exce|)tionally well in any of the matches against the other schools, they did feel that by the end of the season there was a marked improvement in their ball-handling and teamwork. Many of the games in the series played for the Private Schools Basketball Cup were very fast and exciting, and many turned out with very close scores. Most of the games were played in the .W.(LA., but tliere was one game played against eston at the .M.C.A. in Westmoimt, where it was difficult lo get adapted to the different size of the gym. and baskets. Since this year ' s team is composed of fourth, fifth and sixth form girls, next year ' s team will not be new, but will have many experienced girls. Good luck. 1949 ' s team! The second team deserves congratulations, as it won each of the six games that it played and thus won the second team Private Schools Basketball Cup. Tliis team consisted of Joyce Charles, Bunty Poole, Tassie Metrakos, Greta Straessle and Jane Allison as shots, and Pat Burbidge, Sylvia Dennis and Ernita Elton as guards, with Philippa Hansard and Beryl Macario as reserves.

Trafalgar was represented on the senior team hy Betty Hawthorn, Barbara Cunningham, Judy White, Helen Stone, Nicole Andreef and Jocelyn Stevens, and on the junior team by Judy Liersch, Judy Brow, Sandra Hutchison, Beverley Martin and Sheila Archibald. The juniors did quite well and took third place, but the seniors did not do so well and came seventh. The Senior Championship was won by The Study, while Morin Heights took the Junior. Despite the bad weather, which was rain part of the day, all enjoyed their day in the Laurentians. With many thanks to the Penguins, who sponsored the races, we are looking forward to future ski meets at St. Sauveur. TENNIS THIS year Weston, The Study, Miss Edgar ' s and Miss Cramp ' s and Trafalgar met for an inter-school tennis match. The match was held on the Trafalgar courts. The first team match was won by Miss Edgar ' s and Miss Cramp ' s. Trafalgar won the second team match. Playing for Trafalgar ' s first team were Judy White and Judy Cliff. Winky Horsley and Barbara Magor played for the second team. I6.VJ THE GYMNASTIC DEMONSTRATION THE Demonstration was held on Tinirsday, the 17th of March, and Friday, the 18th of March. The afternoon performance was at 5 p.m. instead of the usual 3 p.m. This change enabled many more fatliers and Old Girls to come, so the gymnasium was filled to capacity and more. The first to perform were the U| per lis. They did a very smart drill and showed that they had put a great deal of hard work into the preparation of it. The Folk Dancing followed; the colourful costumes and obvious enjoyment of the dancers greatly attracted the audience. Relay Races done by Remove and Lower I brought cries of enjoyment from the spectators. The small children in the Preparatory drew much applause: their exercises and little dances were extremely well done for girls of their age. A rhythmical non-stop non-command drill was done by the Vth Forms and they deserve credit for a very smooth | erformance. Ropes were climbed by the Junior girls and vaulting done by the Seniors. Both items were well received by the audience. The Upper Is did a very well-timed item of throwing balls to music. The Senior girls put on an outstanding display of balancitig; this requires both courage and skill, and the girls showed that they possessed both. The Senior girls gave a wonderful show when they put on their various tumbling acts. Come to the Fair , put on by Form II, was a particularly catching act with a variety of interesting characters. The Fair Fiddler was Mina Jean ebster. Another item which was demonstrated by tlie Junior School consisted of various Box Exercises, which required good timing and the utmost in skill. The Salute to St. Patrick was done by the Sixth Forms, who were dressed in neat white shorts and blouses, with green sashes and green sticks. The girls looked very smart; their performance and the eflFectiveness of their attire were roundly applauded by those present. A beautiful colour contrast was shown in the mardiing done by Forms IV. While the different colours of blouses were refreshing to the eye, it was the spectacular efficiency of the performance which brought round after round of applause from the audience. The audience were again thrilled by a Skipping Act whicli was exhibited by Forms III. According to ancient Trafalgar custom, the finale was the Grand March. After the Friday performance, the Venerable Archdeacon Gower-Rees gave a short address thanking the performers, and Mrs. Carleton presented the G badges and stars. Before closing, we should like to express our sincere thanks to Miss Box for her patience and tolerance, and for all she did to make the 1949 Demonstra- tion a success. Our thanks also go to Miss Wayland for the assistance she gave in playing the piano. „ , Marilyn Bakkie et ai., Form Upper IIa. On April 6th we had the honour of presenting a repeat performance of part of our Gym. Dem. for the Physical Education Class from McGill.
