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.

Of the large number of new Guides who have joined us this year, most will have passed their Second Class test by the end of the year. One of the high spots of the year was the visit of lVliss Frost from England. Her cheery personality and practical suggestions were an inspiration and a help to us. On Empire Day we hiked clown to lVlussoorie to help with the Y. W. C. A. program. On September 23, we attended the Guide parade and service at Christ Church, We also took part in the Armistice Day service held down in Mussoorie. And then there was our own Annual Entertainment held in the School hall. But perhaps the happiest memories of all linger around the spot where we spent two glorious days of Camp: Long still nights, with the moon casting deep, soft shadows on the distant, snow-capped peaks: sunrise, and the snows are tinged with a rosy glow: soon the noise of rousing sleepers, and the welcome smell of breakfast on the cool crisp air: day-light rambles down the valley slope 3 quiet drowsy evenings round the crackling camp-fire.
