With feeling of very great regret ve learn that Miss Smith is leaving us at tho end of the year. Miss Smith is an old girl of the school and has been on the staff for about tea years. At the beginning of 1916 she was eppointed Second Mistress. For many years she given ungrudgingly of her best to further the Inter- ests of the school, and her departure will leave vacant a position that it will be hard to Hll. Her conscientious work, stimulating per- sonality and public spirit have been of the utmost value to those who have had the privi- lege of working with her on the staff, and to the girls who have gone through the school during her term of office, especially to those who have come into personal contact with her.

Jacob's Ladder.

To think that angels have big wings, And do not fly. If I were on, 1 would not walk From earth to sky. On days like this 1 would be gladder, To fly than walk Up Jacob's Ladder.
