This year we have been especially fortunate in receiving two sets of encyclo- paedias: The World Book Encyclopedia , presented by the Trafalgar Old Girls ' Association in honour of Miss E. K. Bryan, a former Vice-Principal of Trafalgar; and The Encyclopaedia Britannica , donated by The Encyclopaedia Britannica of Canada Limited, and presented by Dr. Berlis in memory of Miss Box. We are grateful for the donation of approximately one hundred books from the estate of the late Miss Box, whose well-known interest in the school has again been shown. We should also like to thank Miss Goldstein for her gift of five Spanish books and a book on Chinese art, and Dr. Herbert for two books on the Canadian Rockies. As well as these, books were donated by interested students. With the acquisition of these volumes, as well as the one hundred and one volumes bovight this year, the library will no doubt attract an even greater amount of interest among the girls next year.

Two hundred more books have been donated. [20]

THE ART ROOM IT ' S SURPRISING what can be done with a box ot paints, a brush, and paper, when they are placed in the liands ot Trafalgar students. The Art chisses, under the capable guidance of Miss Hope, furnish the school with some rather interesting masterpieces. Backdrops for the Carol Singing and the Musical Evening, the Grad Dance and other events are all concocted behind the doors of the Art Room. The classes not only splash around with paint boxes, but they also have a chance to try their hand at clay modelling, wood and linoleum cuts, charcoal drawings, and even oil paints. The Juniors made kites and papier mache masks as part of their work this year. hen the exhibition of Old Masters came to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Miss Hope and a trail of Trafites wended their way to an interesting and educational afternoon. Everyone in the school has a chance to work in the Art Room, and we should all make use of our opportunity. ho knows? Another Van Gogh or Rembrandt may be enclosed within the walls of Trafalgar. Margaret Ann Adams, Arts VI, Gumming House THE SPECIAL CHOIR THE SPECIAL CHOIR is once again fortunate to be under the talented direction of Dr. Herbert. There are eighty-one members this year — the largest enrolment since Dr. Herbert began working with us in 1955. The enthusiastic choristers meet each Wednesday afternoon and each Friday morning at 8.30. Dr. Herbert has this year chosen an especially fine selection of songs, for which we hope to reward him with a splendid musical evening in May. I hope our choir will continue to grow, and that Dr. Herbert, to whom we are most grateful, will direct music at Trafalgar for many years to come. Mary Harlan, Choir Secretary. [21]
