Club Notes

FIRST AID. First Aid lectures were held again this year, under the real threat of war. The Fourth Formers who made up the Club were given interesting and valuable lectures by Mr. Hosier, to whom we are indebted. As the class consisted of 83 girls, bandaging was perform- ed in the open air, which was very pleasant. At first, many -of the First Aiders were unable to manage their bandages _successfully, a nd caused low moans from their "patients", but -after a little practice their difficulties were overcome. The Fourth Formers have been guided by groups of Sixth, who endeavour to use the knowledge gained in earlier years. The members have yet to prove themselves in their exam. -and it is hoped the result will be gratifying. We are all very grateful to Miss Lilley in arranging the Club and to Miss Crooks and Miss Maclean for their help in :bandaging. A.R. and J.B., VI. WANDERERS' NOTES. Do you know in what respects the life of the English school- ·girl corresponds to our own lives? Do you know what type of person the modern Russian is? You don't? Well, you ought to be a Wanderer. This year, the Wanderer's Club, in instead of wandering -abroad, has been confined to rather narrow limits. We have been unable to visit interesting places as in the past, but we :have been equally entertained by listening to the experiences -of more fortunate people. We were addressed first by Miss Maclardy, who spoke to us about English school life ; the Rev. J. E. Parker also took us through England in imagination. These lectures were greatly appreciated more especially as most of us were delightfu1ly vague about the life of the ordinary Englishman. Mr. Deeney transported us to Russia by means of his photographs, and we spent a very interesting afternoon exam- :ining them. 31
