"Vox Nostrae Scholae" Th* work of the school-year is over, and in the next tv.o weeks the quantity and quality of the work that has been completed will " Looking back over the year we find that the academic side of the school has not occupied our attention to the exclusion of all else. Last fall we had the annual field- day, held, unfortunately, on an unseasonably cold day, which, while it did not discourage the competitors, did discourage spectators. During the fall and winter terms, the Literary Society held a number of meetings, which proved most enjoyable. Since Easter, the examinations have loomed so large that the definite school-work has been most important. No account of this year would be complete wihout mention of the Coronation. As well as taking its part in the general civic oelebation, the High School held a programme and a tree-planting ceremony of its own on Tuesday, May the eleventh. The Ministers of the various Churches were most generous with their time ana their good-will on that occasion, and we are extremely grateful to them. Very suitably, a maple was planted to the south-west of the schcol, and Colborne Women's Institute The monthly meeting of Colborne Women's Institute was held at the home of Mrs. E. Yarrow, Tuesday, June 8th, 1937, with an attendance of 20 and 3 visitors. The President, Mrs. Cook in the chair opened the meeting by all singing the Institute Ode, and then all repeating the Creed. It being school day, the roll call was very interesting as each member responded by giving the name of the school in whcih she got her education. There were a number of letters of apprecia-! tion read from shut-ins and people who had been ill, to whom the Institute had sent a small remembrance. iSome discussion about a picnic took but was left undecided until July meeting. Mis. Rose being con-ener for the day took the chair and the programme was very interesting and inspiring, it being the history of three schools. Mrs. Armstrong gave a very interesting paper on Salem, iMsr. Irish, on No. 10, and Mrs. Rose on Colborne Public School. It would have been hard for a judge ) make a decision as all three papers ere so interesting. Mrs. Miller gave humorous paper on "Because," hich was very much enjoyed.
