01d Girls' Association By Inez Warrender While still in its initial year, the Old Girls' Association has had much success. Increase in membership and social activities have delinitely given it a foundation. In March, 1935, pins were introduced and pur- chased by the members. In June, the membership was increased by the addition of Eileen Foote, Peggy Swan, Jessie Bal- loch, ,Ieanette Gray, Isabel Greenhill, Annabelle Smye, Phyllis I-Iollier, and Marg. McQueen. The initiates were put through the mill in short order. Dressed in tunics with skipping-rope belts, with powdered hair and tightly-clutched dolls, the new- comers were officially welcomed into the club. A very sad state of affairs occurred at the corner of King and james Streets. when Mr. Policeman refused to give back to Eileen Foote her doll, which he had so kindly held for her while she daintily pinned a bunch of violets to his lapel. By disregard- ing the momentary embarrassment of the girls, the initiation could be considered a howling success. In September, a weiner-roast, held at the Bronte home of Elizabeth Dawson, supplied an evening of fun and entertainment. On October 9th, the following executive was elected: President ...... .. Peggy Sawden Vice-President . .. . . . Doreen Groom Secretary ..... . . . Marge Cardno Treasurer .... ......... P hyllis Hollier Another Advisor, Miss Calderone twho kindly acceptedl, was invited to join the club. A new avenue of work was opened up by the club in December. Several Christmas baskets were sent out to needy families. This alone, perhaps, proves the success of the organization. A dance at Roberts' will conclude the club's activities up to the time this magazine goes to press. Exchange By G. R. Richmond and E. Siegel N RECENT depression years many schools throughout the Dominion have been forced, through lack of funds, to cut down or, in some cases, to discontinue their magazines. Due to re- turning prosperity, some of these schools have recommenced publication of their year-books. LE BACUNTE Ull Others have enlarged, and added to theirs-pic- tures, cartoons, and stories. The cover designs have also been improved in many cases. Internally, we iind most magazines have shown little change for better or for worse. There is still a preponderance in some of venerable jokes. ln fact, many of our contemporaries are slowly degen- erating into mere joke books. XYith the exception of the above defects, we lind that, on the whole, the magazines are decidedly good. COMMENTS The O.A.C. Review tflntario Agricultural College, Guelphj- You have a very good magazine. lYe observe, however, that more space is devoted to advertising than to reading matter. The Twig tU.T.S., Torontoj- An excellent magazine. Well illustrated. Has an excellent athletic section. Acta Ridleana tRidley College, St. Catharinesl- Your paper has a distinct English flavour, which is a pleasant change from the American of most magazines. It could be improved with more stories, and a moderate amount of jokes. The Magnet tjarvis Collegiate, Torontol- A well-balanced magazine, having just the right amount of form news, jokes, and stories. Une seem- ingly insignificant think which caught our eye was the reinforcement strip along the bound edge of the books. Most school papers soon become torn and dilapidated because of the lack of this thoughtful precaution. Vox Lycei tCentral Collegiate. lIamiltonl- A great improvement over last year. It is much larger, and contains better material. In our opinion, the cover has the best design we have seen this year. In addition to the above, we wrote to the Park- dale C.I., Toronto: Ingersoll C.I., Ingersoll: Kitchener and XYaterloo C.I., Kitchener: Tillson- burg C.I., Tillsonburg: Cranleigh School. Iledford, Surrey: Beck C.I., London: ,Iarvis C.I., Toronto: Central C.I., London: Yictoria College, Toronto: Lower Canada C.I., Montreal: Northern 'Vocational School, Toronto: Owen Sound Collegiate, Owen Sound: and others., Unfortunately, some of these schools have proved a little slow in replying to us, while others have not published as yet. 23 9
