MADEMOISELLE ELISABETH LaMOTHE C5EST AVEC un tres grand regret que les pro- fesseurs et les eleves ont appris que Mademoiselle LaMothe quittait Trafalgar cette annee. Mademois- elle a toujours ete une collegue charmante. Son hunieur egale et souriante etait un reconfort moral et une aide appreciable dans les periodes de coup de feu , au moment on tout va mal et oil Ton a Tim- pression d ' etre submergees! Les eleves perdent beau- coup aussi par ce depart. Son experience de I ' enseigne- ment, sa patience sans egale, seront des qualites difficiles a retrouver chez une autre. Dans le sujet ardu qu ' est le frangais, elle a su deployer toutes les ressources de son intelligence pour le rendre plus accessible et moins ennuyeux. Rien ne la rejouissait plus qu ' im sucees merite ou inattendu d ' une de ses eleves. Mademoiselle etait professeur de classe de IIIb. Ses eleves pouvaient toujours compter sur son esprit de justice, sa charite, sa comprehension, lors- qu ' il s ' agissait de regler leurs problemes ou leurs differends. Mademoiselle avait aussi la direction de Gumming House ou elle exerga une autorite a la fois ferme et douce. En la quittant, nous lui souhaitons de continuer longuement sa vie dans les voies qui Finteressent, et nous lui demandons de ne pas nous oublier, nous ses amies et ses obligees. Louise Ernout-Brouillette Mademoiselle has taught us the rudiments of French from Remove to the Sixth Form, and has brought a touch of Gallic culture and piquancy int o our lives, to broaden our outlook. Her patience with us has certainly been re- markable; she has borne our pranks, and the sad fact that sometimes not all of us were listening, with a rallying Voyons girls! and a wish for a better tomorrow. We hope to see her around the school in spite of her leaving, and we give our Mademoiselle ovir best wishes for a more peaceful and a very happy future! RoNNE Heming, Arts VI MISS HARVIE The school was very pleased to hear of the appointment, by the Board of Governors, of Miss Harvie as Assistant Principal. It is especially satisfying to see an Old Girl of the School hold this position. Miss Harvie joined the staff in 1939 and teaches Classics and History. She is House Mistress of Ross House and Form Mistress of the Arts VI, and also runs the senior school library. [24]
