THE SPECIAL CHOIR OUR CHOIR this fall enjoyed singing together, with Dr. Herbert, in prepara- tion for the Christmas Carol Service. Eighty girls take time from already crowded schedules to meet every Wednesday afternoon and early Friday morning for practice. We all appreciate the time and interest which Dr. Herbert gives us. His choice of songs is always popular, for example The Little Drummer Boy which we sang at Christmas. Now, just about to begin work on the Musical Evening, we look forward to more good times singing as a happy close-knit group. I hope next year we will again join together and that we can welcome many new members. Why is the School Choir Special ? Singing is a joy at any time; singing together is better. But singing to Dr. Herbert ' s direction — that ' s something special. Claire Marshall, Choir Secretary. CHARITABLE DONATIONS Montreal Children ' s Hospital $140.00 Red Cross 122.89 Red Feather 85.00 Salvation Army 30.00 [17]

THE HOUSES All five Houses al Tralal- fjar are biiill on a firm foundalion ol tradition su[)portinfi; walls created hy liard work and fortified by continuous competition. They help create and build school spirit. With the ever increasing number of pupils, weekly House meetings make it possible for everyone to become better acquainted and to work together. The House competition is one of the most exciting events of the year. The plays, this year, were based on various poems: Barclay The Pied Piper , Gumming The Song of Hiawatha , Donald The Highwayman , Fairley The Monster Horse , and Ross ' Twas the Night before Christmas . Congratulations to Fairley and Ross, the joint winners. Tuesday morning ' s never-ending list of bad marks exasperates many a Fifth Form Rep., but consolation came with the raise in points for squares from one to two per square, increasing the popularity of square knitting. Many thanks to Miss Bowyer and the Red Cross Representatives for their generous help. Christmas term ended this year with Ross leading in the race for the highest number of points, closely followed by Cumming. Fairley showed their talent in Spelling by capturing first place in the Spelling Bee, and Cumming were runners-up. There are still many things to look forward to: House Basketball, Tennis, Field Day. And then the results of jeveryone ' s work — the final counting of points! Good kick to all Houses! Last, but far from least, special thanks are due to our House Mistresses: Miss Harvie, Miss Stansfield, Mrs. Proulx, Mrs. Timar and Miss Glegg for their greatly appreciated help and advice. In future years we hope that the Houses will have as much pleasure in working to build their spirit as we have had. Elizabeth Irwin [16]
