SPECIAL CHOIR THIS 1 EAR our Special Choir has increased in size as well as, I believe, in quality. At Christmas our concert was received very well, and we are hoping for equal, if not better, success in our singing at the Musical Evening and at the School Closing. Our singing at St. James the Apostle will no doubt always be remembered by those who braved the blizzard, the risk of ice-laden branches falling on them, and the treacherous live wires which festooned some of the streets. Although only half the Choir of sixty managed to get to the Church, I think we did exceptionally well under such a handicap, and I ' m sure that the small congregation enjoyed us. We all extend a large vote of thanks to Dr. Herbert for his able and inspiring direction. Sally Green, Arts VI, Ross House. [19]

ART AT TRAFALGAR SINCE Miss Lindsay came, in September, to teach art at Trafalgar, the enthusiasm of Trafites for this subject has grown by leaps and bounds. Early in the school year, many girls visited the exhibition of paintings by Vincent Van Gogh at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. For the Carol Service many of Trafalgar ' s budding Picassos helped to make a huge mural in the form of a stained glass window, to cover one wall of the gym. In regular classes, many girls made travel brochures to advertise the varied wonders of Spitzbergen or the Mato Grosso. Others sketched their class-mates or designed wall-paper. Each month a different painter has been studied, and several reproductions of his work featured around the Art room. As one might imagine, with all this activity, there is never a dvill moment. Dorothea Burns, Arts VI, Fairley House. GRADUATION DANCE THIS YEAR ' S graduating class chose a Parisienne theme for their dance, which was held on January 20th. We were very fortunate in having Eaton ' s put up the decorations; these ranged from barrels of red, white, and blue flowers to four large gendarmes, and were most effective. The evening began with three punch parties, two at the homes of Linda Vipond and Pam Walker, while Mary Ellen Wright entertained at the Mount Stephen Club. The two classes then met in the Vice-Regal Suite of the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Here an original note was a large replica of the School crest hung on the wall behind the head table. After enjoying a delicious dinner, we went back to the School where we danced to the music of Stan Bankley ' s orchestra. Afterwards we were all invited to Anne Empey ' s for an Open House, and then to Christy Leslie ' s and Joan Cowie ' s for breakfast. We would like to thank Mrs. McRobie and Mrs. Cowie of the Trafalgar Old Girls for all their time and wonderful help. We sincerely hope that next year ' s graduating class will have as enjoyable an evening as we did. Barbara Guimond, Science VI, Gumming House. JUNIOR RED CROSS THE TRAFALGAR RED CROSS has done very well this year. Miss Ellis has helped the five House Representatives with money-raising campaigns, such as the fudge sales, and taken in a great many stuffed animals, squares, layettes, and Christmas stockings. Our big project this year has been raising $200 as Trafalgar ' s contribution to buying an oxymeter for the Montreal Children ' s Hospital. Also, at Christmas, we collected a big box of canned foods to give to needy families, filled over twice as many stockings as we had promised, sent out twelve afghans, and a huge carton of stuffed animals. We would like to thank all the girls who have put in time and effort for the Red Cross. We feel that Traf has done a good job this year. Kathy Hall, Form Vb, Barclay House. Heather Harding, Form Va, Fairley House. [20]
