THE HOUSES TRAFALGAR, in its quiel way, inculcates in its pupils (Jisciplin ; and school spirit. This is accomplished, not only throuj h the efforts of the Staff, hut also by the Houses themselves. This is the reason for their heinfj. The feeling of beinff part of an organized group and working together is one which each of us requires. It is the Houses that supply us with this. The competitive spirit is particularly emphasized by the House Competition. This year, as a result of the combined efforts of all members, we put on five productions based on Broadway hit musicals: Barclay, headed by .Jill Gardiner and Rosemary LeGallais, The Sound of Music ; Gumming, headed by Lesley Cann and Beverley Monks, Bye Bye Birdie ; Donald, headed by Sally Johnson and Sandra Crabtree, West Side Story ; Fairley, headed by Anndale Goggin and Susie Wood, North Atlantic ; and Ross, headed by Emily Black and Phyllis Bazin, Oliver! . Congratulations to Fairley, the winner, and to all who made the day a success. Junior Red Cross has flourished this year. We all join in thanking Miss MacDougall and the House representatives: Joan Dickison, Linda Marchand, Susan Haggett, Vicky Knox, and Wendy Lloyd-Smith. Their help and organiza- tion is much appreciated. Everyone also recognizes and appreciates the efforts of our Fifth Form representatives: Cheryl Mason, Nonie Nicholls, Jill Marshall, Heather Marshall, and Wendy Tomlinson, who must contend every week with the menace of bad marks. The Christmas term ended with Fairley leading for the highest number of points, with Ross a close second and Donald, Barclay and Gumming not far behind. We were pleased to be told that this year the Houses had the greatest amount of first term points on record. Ross, led by Wendy Lloyd-Smith, won the Spelling Bee, with Gumming the runner-up. In closing we should like to extend our heartiest thanks to the House Mistresses: Miss Stansfield, Miss Shannon, Miss Glegg, Mrs. Proulx, and Miss Harvie, without whose help none of this would have been possible. Many thanks also to Dr. Herbert, who not only supplies us with song, but also urges us on in discipline and school spirit. We look forward to House basketball, tennis, and the Field Day. Best of luck to all Houses, this year and in those to come. May they continue to bring success and enjoyment, as they have brought it to us. Long live the Houses! Anndale Goggin JUNIOR RED CROSS (iir I RAFITES have worked hard this year and can be proud of the many 3- animals, layettes, knitted clothes, and afghans which they have made for needy families and children in this city and in Europe. Miss MacDougall has been most patient as our adviser, and the five House Representatives very helpful. Our money-raising j)rojects so far this year have been a fudge sale and the I ' eacher-I ' refect basketball game, which will be remembered by all. As our main pl( dg(; this year we have chosen to give a children ' s wheel chair to the Montreal (]hildr(!n ' s Hospital, and the necessary amount of $85.00 will be collected in the near future. Trafalgar girls can be truly proud of the time and effort they have given to aid those less fortunate, and on b( half of the Jimior Red Cross I would like to thank you all for your help. I lf I

Other donations which were given by Trafalgar this year were $78.00 to the Red Feather Campaign, $25.00 to the Salvation Army, $140.00 to the Montreal Children ' s Hospital towards the support of a cot, and a total of $135.00 to the Junior Red Cross. Victoria Knox, Science VI, Fairley House THE SPECIAL CHOIR CHOIR PRACTICE began earlier than usual this year, for on October 20 we were given the honour of replacing the regular chancel choir of the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul for the morning service. Sixty members of the senior school participated in this service, under Dr. Herbert ' s able direction. Then we began to work for our part in the Christmas Carol Concert, and we all hope that the Musical Evening in May will be as great a success as the carols were. All the members of the choir who gave up time on Wednesday afternoons, and appeared early, if a little sleepy, on Friday mornings, know how greatly we are indebted to Dr. Herbert for the time he has devoted both to teaching and to selecting songs for us. The choir gives all members of the senior school a chance to participate in making music, and Dr. Herbert has often said that he would like to have the entire school in the choir. What joyful music would then ring about the rafters of the gym! Heather Marshall, Choir Secretary [17]
