McClellan, of Port Peiry, at St. "Michael's Hospital, Toronto, on Mon- day, February 9th, 1943, a son. Mother and baby doing nicely. A Story for Andy Clark Miss Leila Gerrow, dana of Mr. Stanley Gerrow, Port Perry, brought in the form of a Valentine Party and Box Social, The meeting, opened with a short devotional period, consisting of the Invocation by the president; a hymn; prayer by Margaret Day} meditation by Dorothy Balfour. All enjoyed a bit of Community Singing and a read- ing was given by Emmerson MeMillan, The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted; the roll was called; a hymn was sung and the Mizpah benediction repeated. Then came the festivities of the evening. Several games were played, after which two postmen were clect- ed. They distributed the valentines which hdd been put in the post box. What shouts of laughter issued from all corners of the room! This was followed by the main fea- ture--the Box Social, to which all the girls, at least, were looking forward with a certain amount of wonderment running through their minds as to who the person would be, who would buy their box. Owen Cliff acted as auctioneer and gradually the boxes were disposed of. Then everyone sat around in groups and ate the lunch. When all were feeling rather uncom- fortable and only a few crumbs re- mained of the contents of the prettily decorated boxes, the evening drew to a close with the singing of God Save the King. eo -- IN MEMORIAM WALLACE--In loving memory of my dear sister Emma Henry Wallace, who passed away February 12th, 1942. That unselfish life it has not died, In my chest of cherished memories I've locked up thoughts of you-- Your smiling face, your tender love, And the things you used to do, And now and then, when I'm alone I open up this chest And spend a while just thinking of The one I loved the best. Friends may think our grief has lessened Though the smile may hide the tears, Memory keeps the wound still open As the days pass into years.

The story of Silas Marner has a very simple plot but is admirably constructed and con- tains a wholesome story. of twenty-five dollars was voted to the Chinese War Relief Fund, twenty-five dollars to the Russian War Relief Fund, twenty-five dollars to the War Work Committee of the local I.O.D.E,, and another twenty-five dollars for the purchase of cigarettes for the ex- now In addition, we are trying to keep up the morale of our students on overseas service with a monthly letter, a project that is being carried out by the grade XII Among the girls six basketball teams have been formed.
