ON Sunday, June the 23rd, the annual offering will be taken on behalf of

“THE COQUALEETZA CHAPEL FUND.” We cannot stress too emphatically

the great need felt by the staff and students of Coqualeetza for a Chapel. Environ-

ment and a proper atmosphere are very vital factors to the production of a spirit

of worship, and we are most anxious to attain an edifice which will be sacred to
religious services.

To this end once a year is devoted the offering at the school service, and the
amounts thus accumulated, augmented by unsolicited voluntary donations, give us
now a nucleus of $1,045.33 on deposit in the Bank of Toronto, Vancouver, towards
the realization of our dream. Some time ago we determined that when our fund
reached four figures an energetic campaign would be instituted amongst the ex-
pupils and friends of the school, and plans for this are taking shape.

“Trotsky,” a beautiful Collie Dog, pet of the Principal’s daughter, Miss Raley, came to live at the
School when he was still only a puppy, and has been here for nine years. Little wonder then that when
a fatal illness seized him this spring, and he passed on to the Nirvana of good dogs, he was sadly
mourned and sorely missed. No longer will his cheery, deep-throated bark ring out! No longer will
his graceful form dart hither and thither across the lawns! In this connection let us mention that
once, in Trotsky’s younger and more active days, a little admirer of his inquired of her mother why
he was called by the name of Trotsky, to which the lady replied—“Why, because he’s always a-rushin
(Russian) .”

(4) WATER LILY CHUMS: “A proof of progress,” is this small society, which originated among
the students themselves, quite unsuggested by staff or supervisors, “for the promotion of friendship among
the girls, and the study of nature.” We heartily wish them a great measure of success in their worthy
endeavours.

(5) THE SCHOOL BABY AND ONE OF OUR BIGGEST BOYS: It was in November
that Sergeant Higginbotham arrived one afternoon at the School, looking even bigger and more im-
pressive than usual, because clinging to the hand of the good-natured constable was a tiny mite
who reached scarcely to his knee. This was Wilma, arriving to enter the School as its youngest
and smallest student. Though only four years of age, little Wilma has adjusted herself very
speedily to the routine of school life. She loves her “work” in the classroom, and even more she loves
her connection with the Brownie Pack. Too small as yet to join, she is, however, admitted as a sort ot
mascot to all the meetings and revels of this little band, and enters with unsurpassed zeal and interest
into the drill, games and exercises. When the Guides and Brownies attended Church Parade in Chilli-
wack this spring, nothing would do but that Wilma must also participate. Accordingly she was taken
in to what must have been, to one so young, an exceedingly long-drawn-out service. At the close her
escort sympathetically enquired of her whether she was very tired, to which, straightening her small
back, she replied in a tone of scornful reproach, “Brownies never get tired!”

Naturally Wilma is a great favorite, not only with the girls but with the boys as well. This
picture shows her clinging to the hand of George Brown, one of the School’s biggest boys. George is
from Skidigate, Queen Charlotte Islands, and has been attending Coqualeetza for about five vears now.
He is in Grade Five, and stands well up in his class. Of the practical work George prefers farming, par-
ticularly the care of live stock, in which he excells. He is a keen sport. In last year’s Track Meet he
won the Cup as Champion in Running Events, the Intermediate Shield, and the Cup for the Inter-
mediate Mile Race. He aspires to win the Senior Cup this year. sHe is the Captain of the Senior Football
Team, Leader of the Eagle Patrol in the Boy Scouts, and Sergeant in the Cadet Company. George has

a winning personality, and his smile should carry him far.
