P 44 THE W. H. S. ANNUAL, l928 through work. By October 6th, our club room was finished and we held our open meeting. It went off splendidly. Our actresses certainly came up to the mark, didn't they? And our acroloatfessesl too. The artists produced most lovable programs, and our club room was all spick and span. We hope our fifty guests enjoyed themselves. The next meeting was our closing meeting-the end of a hard club year. Of course, everything was done in a stately style, the President made her farewell speech, and we all felt properly sad. A large number of us are learning, but to you who will be here next year. we leave a challenge- U Carry on, Mountain Lassies! H

THE W. H. S. ANNUAL., I928 43 THE MOUNTAIN LASSIES Miss Smith ......... Staff Advisor aQ'ES, it's actually two years old! Still, it's quite an ex- C perienced, busy club. We admit that most of last year we did nothing but get accustomed to having an or- ganization. We cooked sometimes, played other times, and once we gave a party. Fun, wasn't it? Our pageant went off beautifully with the splendid help of Miss Woodward. Oh yes, we had a treasure hunt, too. Whew, some work! Then we proceeded to close. We had a glorious old meeting. This year we came back feeling quite serious and work- like. We started off with a hang by electing our officers. Frances Mattison was chosen again for President, Anne Fitzpatrick for Vice-President and Kathryn Heinrich for Secretary-Treasurer. These officers were helped by three committees--decoration, with Betty Campbell as chairman: entertainment, with Sarah Esch as chairman: and refresh- ment, with Florence Alexander as chairman. They all worked splendidly and we accomplished a lot in the first half of the year. Some of the high lights of that half-year were our Brownie meeting fwe did most of the repair and cleaning work around the College that dayl, our initiation meeting fwe thought after- wards that we would have to pay funeral expenses for the poor new membersl, and our weird midnight feast in our new club room. What about those ghostly ghost stories and muffled strains of music? Then came mid-year elections. Our new officers turned out to he Frances Mattison, President 3 Madeline Long, Vice- Presidentg and Madge Durham, Secretary-Treasurer. This last term proved to be quite hectic. We had to wedge in the club meetings here and there, but we simply plowed

THE W. H. S. ANNUAL, l9Z8 45 CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR OFFICERS Betty Campbell . . . President Evan Keislar . . , Vice-President Robert Frost .... . Secretary-Treasurer OWARD the close of the year l927, the boys and girls of the Senior High got together and started to organize a C. E. Society. We felt that we should have some sort of religious gathering which would be different from the regular Church attendance, and which would give every individual an opportunity of participating. Miss Ruth E. Merril was our Advisor representing the Staff, and Robert Frost was our Secretary. As it was so late in the season, we did not get properly organised until this year. The C. E. meetings this year commenced on September l4. The meetings, which are held every Sunday evening at 5 145, are led by various members in turn. The leader and topic is announced a week before by the Topic Committee. The program consists of a brief devotional portion, followed by the presentation of the topic and general discussion. Our membership roll consists of both Junior and Senior High students, and we often have visitors from the Staff with us. We have collected a fund of over Rs. 20, which is to be donated for some worthy purpose, not yet fully decided. Cn November 25th the C. E. held a special Christmas Service to which everyone was cordially invited. The success of our program this year has been largely due to the enthusiastic spirit of our President and her helpers, and to the fine help we have gained from the interest and advice of our two advisors, lVliss Schweigert and Mr. Wright.
