Old Girls' Association. , B.G.C.S. rHE RG.G.S.O.G.A. was formed at t he beginning of 1899, its obj ects 'fi being to keep up a connection .~ between past pupils and the "'F school, and to promote good fellowship among past pupils. ' At the first general meeting there were over 80 present, from those who had been la mong the first pupils of th e school to the very young "old girls" of the previous yea r . There were so many remini scences among the various groups, that it. was rather difficult to g,et to work and launch the Association in a bu siness -like way. However, launched it was; and later, Tennis, Musical and

Dramatic Clubs of 30, 17, and 16 members respectively, were formed. Many of the older memb ers wilI" rememb e·r the successful enter tainments g:iven by the Musical and Dramatic Clubs.

In its fi rst year the Association beglan the practice, which has neverlaps,e d" oi .giving a prize to the school. ·One.

Tb.is year an innovation took place in the shape of a combin ed Ball witb the Old Boys ' Association, which proved a great success, most of the proceeds (girls') being hall ded over to the Women's Residenti al Colleg'e Fund.

T11e Association has 10ng been wishing it had a room for itself somewhere in town, but the subscription is so small (2s. 6d. a year ) that the saving's have not ye t got beyond the 'nucleus' stagle.

The Library.

--

HE school library now contains well over six hundred books, and is in a more flourishing condition than it has been for sO'm e years' past, which is 'entirely due to the unceasing care and pains of Miss Mackay.

We feel we all owe her a deep vote of thanks for the valua.ble time she has so willingly sacrificed. After we returned from the mid-winter holidays she set to work (aided in a very minor degree by some members of the sixth), at tile strenuous task of recataloguing: the library, which had not been attempted since Miss Cookson did' it some years ago. 路Since then, however, our: number of volumes has increased very largely, and also a number of the old ones have been found to be suffering from "senile decay," so that the task of recataloguing was by no means an easy one.

'When it was fin ished, Miss Mackay g'ave the Sixth a tea to com'mem'o rate and , celebrate the auspicious event (to which Miss Williams and Miss Copas were also invited ), and she took the opportunity to relieve VI A of the "keys of office" and hand them over to VI B, with injunctions , to "follow nobly in the footsteps of their p;r edecessors."

(N.B.--This we are endeavouring to do, tho112:h it is rather a difficult task !)

Although ' our number of subscribers is increasing, there is plenty of room for .more, and we 'hope that the new quarter will see more girls taking' advantage of the excellent opportunity offered them of procuring a book a week for the truly minute sum of 6d'. per quarter.

noble work for the team, second only to our popular goal-thrower, A. Little, who has greatly distinguished herself lately. The third match D!,oved more succ essful than the former two, for we were w'inners after an exciting struggle, and won by 8-5. This gave the team some confidence and' hop e, with the result that when the Ipswich: team came to play us on our own court we won by 46-7. Miss Hunt, who had coached the team since the beg;inning of the season, acted as umpire at the three home matches. On September 14th St. Margaret's team, who had beaten us so badly at the first match, came to play on the Gramm'a r c'Ourt.

The day appointed for the match happened to be very wet, and the court was more fitted for swimming than for playing basket-ball, when the showers cleared off, so the match took place on the following Wednesday afternoon.

The Sixtli Form entertained the visitors and the home team at afternoon tea in the studio.

Contrary to the expectations of every one "the royal blue" won th eir third match with great rejoicing, as there was then a possibility of securing the cup for the half-yea:r.

The last match of the .season was played agia inst the High School on the home court on October 25th, and resuIted in a win for the Grammar School.

In August and September the various forms collected teams and played against one another. The Fifth Form at first were unwilling' to enter, but were roused' to en ergy by J. Quinlan, who is to be congratu1ated ,on the team she gathered together after much trouble. The Fifth securel!' second place in the inter-form ,matches. The Fourth had' a glood team, which ought to do well next year, the middle court being very good and' playing' well to one another. The Third also have a very promising team, although they were rather unlucky this year. The Removepluckily sent in a t eam in the fac e of c'ertain defeat. The first interform match b etween the Sixth and the Fourth resulted in a draw. but the Sixth suceeeded in winning 'the final match, thus . securiIJIg firs t place in the form matches.

This year the eight gym. squad's have' been allowed to g:o to the gymnasium for dinner-hour practioe, q.nd' most 路 of the g'irls availed themselves of this privile'~ e .

Unfortunately, some rabid socialists lived up to their principles by using~ the first gym. suits that came to hand; with the result that when the owners came to look for their suits they found the 'peg's occupied by some one else's, their own having' straye d' to the other side at the opposite end'. Will newcomers please use the pegiS of girls! who have left-no t remove present glirls' snits fo make room for their own?

The exams. for g,ym. prizes will not be the usual class exam. only. The

,first thre,e will be chosen 'Irom each ·division for a final test, which will -probably be in three divisions as formerly: upper, mid'dle, and lower schools.

There should' be good results seen when ,'Mr. Roe comes.

Form III. A" who with few exeeptions ,.areall pupils of less than a year's standingl 'in the school, Miss Brockway de,clares an easy first, beth as reg'ard~ interest and progress in all th eir gym nastic werk. Some in the o.lder forms have net yet lost their skill in "dod'gling ,gyn1s.," whieh, we 'hope, the Third' will never acquire. A squad from this form r epresented the B,G.G.S. at Miss Brockway's recent display.

In Remove and' Second Forms' we have some coming gymnasts, Some of them do good work and m:ak;e good headway. Gwen Bell and Nora Halford deserve special mention .as champions ··of their respective forms.

Fourth, who should be some of our ~ best g'y mnasts, seem to regard' the lesson in the . gym. as an English conversation class and relaxation time combined. ·,Gyms. do not require much C'oncentration, and they are no less .pleasant if one takes the trouble to do them pro,perIy, believe us.

As a form, Fifth are not hard workers, though they includ'e some .of our best ..athletes. Fourth and Fifth bring' up the percentag'e of shirkers teo much. In these forms manv do not trouble to ,change into their suits, and consequently cannet do the work well, if at all. Erica 'Karras ch and G. Mackenzie are neat in . their work, 'a nd J. Quinlan is a good gymnast, but lacks finish. The same may be said of E. Davey, who, by the way, is our champion hig:h-jumper.

Very little can be said of Six A work, .seeirug that the average numb er of les sons atLended bv each for the three borms is approximately one. Not a good' example for the others to follow, by ,any means. Just about half of the B form arc interested, the others finding the work too 'strenuous. Thus the grand total of gymnasts stands at four, three of whom . with Erica Karrasch, are the sole sur~;ivors of the old Third who, as bEginners. watched with admiration and awe the feats of Josey Frost and Emily :.Haymen .

The Fourth Form Concert

~~

0 the surprise of the school the Fourth Form .announced at the end of the second term that they were giving a concert. So well had they \ kept their secret that no. one b'ad' any suspicion of the approaching ~oncert.

The platform in the Assembly Hall was used fo.r a stag'e, and was d!eco.rate:d: with pot plants. Miss Williams and' the staff were present at the co.ncert.

In a prologue the Fourth opened' tb!eir: successful concert.. This was followed by a pretty duet, well played by T. Drake and W. Kemp. The' girls of the form who leam Getman, assisted by some of lhe Third Form, ' sang' 'Die Lorelei.' E. Forest played a . piano. solo with much ability and expression. Tile whole fo.rm sang Tennyson's 'Sweet and Low,' familiar to. ,all of tile upper schooL S. Anderson received m'uch ap:plausefor her recitation of Brunton Stephen's, amusing poem, the 'Chinese Cook,' and gave an original po.e m as an encor@.

Some of the Fourth sang an amusingJ French song, named 'Le petit nav,e re,' sugggestive of .the ballad of 'Little Billee. ' But the success of the afternoon was the New Guinea Princess, who sang a native song in costume. The dress of her Highness caused much amusement and interest, and two m:a nnerism's (probably common in New Guinea} were no ticed. The princess wore her hair over her face and entirely covered it, !ind she had a novel way o.f walking backwards . Royal dignity or modesty prevent,ed the princess from giving an encore.

The concert was brought to an end by the distribution of sweets, for which the schoel were thankful.

Miss Williams, in a short speech, preposed a vole of thanks to the Fout,11fi for so kindly 'e ntertaining the school, and this vote was seconded bv one of the Sixth. .

Miss Mackay is to be congratulated on the su ccess of ' the concert, and her directions were well carried out by the form .

Hospital Notes.

N 1~07, when special ' apflea~s wer~e bemg made for the hospItals, It ' l was suggested to the girls tnat if each gave ld. a week, the school "~ would be able to endow a cot.

They unanimously and heartily took up the suggestion, and ever since it is very ::seldom that any .girl has failed to "put in her penny on Monday morning.

The surplus has been used in various ways. One child was provided with ,an outfit, a banking account was started for anotner, and last year's surplus was mostly devoted to the purchase of two two-horse rockers, and of a wonderful boat, which the little convalescents -can rock quietly in, or easily propiel from one ,e nd of the verandah to' the other, fe eling a kind of "fearful joy," while really they are p'erfectIy sa;拢e.

The secretary says these have given 路great pleasure to the little ones. Then the remainder was spent on wool, which . was made by some of the Third' and .Fourth Formers into little bootees for the 'babes for the cold weather, and ,on material which is being made up ,by the Remove and Second Forms in ,their sewing lessons.

Only the other day, an old girl writing from Scotla~d a sked, "Do they still put their pennies into the hospital box ~we ry Monday morning?"

"To the Girls of the Brisbane Grammar School.

'Dear Girls,Miss Williams has told me that iI . may write a letter for your new magazine, as I want to tell you something about a movement that is doing much -work amongst schoolgirls in Australia and New 'Z ealand and throughout the -world. This movement is known as the World Student Christian Federation, is a world-wide organisation, and has branches in eve:r:y University and in ' many of the large schools of each co un try.

Just . this past year I was present at a World Conference of this move:ment held in America, and we were

13

there-the representatives of forty different nations, of every colour and race and creed-living for week und'er one roof and feeling that we had become a world family.

The object and purpose of the Federation is to lead students and the boys and girls of our secondary schools to an unders1tanding of the character of Jesus Christ, to the desire to have formed such a character within themselves, and to promote keen and interested Bible study. At Lake Mohonk, w here this conference was held, we met with the leaders of school movements in Finland, Germany, France, Canada, South Africa a nd var,ious other places, and it is .an interesting fact that th;e work amongst girls in Finland is more like ,that in Australia than in any other place,and yet we are, probably, fuI"ther apart than any other two countries in the movement. This week there came a 'letter from one of these Finnish girls telling me that this year therje have been two school camps in Finland, one of 40 and one of 100 girls. I was at one such cam'p in Canada at Lake Couchiching, and there for ten days we had just the happiest time ' with boating, swimming, sports, etc.

Girls from schools all over Canada came tog8ther there, and one of the features of each day was the Twilight Talk given by one of the officers when we were gathered together, after tea, somewhere on the shore of one of the la~es, to watch the sun setting. Then, as it was getting dark, about nine o'clock, we would lOW home, often stopping with our boats tied together, to sing songs across the water. It was very wonderful to find that at th e other side of the world, girls are meeting together in the same way and for the saime purpose as we ' are doing here 'in Australia. This , p~st year eight school camps have been held in different parts of Australia, and there are strongbranches of the movement in many of the large schools of Sydney, Melbourne ' and Adelaide, some just now hein~ formed in th e Boys' schools of Brisbane.

The work of each individual unio'll is to promote throughout the school, in all its activities, the formation of strong Christian character in the girls. This

is done in various ways-by weekly meetjngs and addresses, by small circles for Bible study, by doing practical social work such as taking flowers to hospitals, giving picnics to c~ild'r en fr?ffi' children's homes, or r eadmg to blmd old ladies.

Different schools are always devising new methods, but these are some of thenlain characteristIcs of their: work.

Some day , soon, I hop e to be able to visit you and tell you more abou,t the work of our movement, but, in the meantime, will you girls in Brisbane think about this and whether you would like sometime to have a branch form ed in the Grammar School?

With best wishes for the succ,e ss of your new magazine, yours faithfully, BILDA M. ALEXANDER, Woman Traveller-Secretary of the A.S.C.M.

Form Notes.

FORM VI. T is with somewhat varied feelings that the Sixth: looks forward to the closing weeks of the year. The dreaCLed ordeal of tbe Senior confronting Six: A awabs fearful tremors, but these are counterbalanced by the ,d elicious thrill of an ticipation o't the time when-if all goes well and the examiners are kind-it will be their pride and joy to style themselves "'Var-sity girls," no longer "mere schoolgirls;" ~yet, withal, to ' most there will be a certain sorrow that the oft-abused school days. are really past,. and that in 1914 "thell' old haunts WIll know them no more."

Betw'een Six B and the blessed respite ,of the Christmas holidays there intery enes only the second half-yearly exams., important enough in themselves, but really quite a min0r affair in comparison with the all-critical Senior. The 'end of this year, tno, ma rks the closle 'of the happy irresponsible times of the Lower Sixth, for next year they must assume the grave and dignified airs be-

fitting the highest form in the school, and all its attendant duties.

The Brunton Stephens essay prize, held in connection with the Junior examination, was won by Olive Adam, and we take this ,opportunity of congratulating: her on her splendid and well-deserved' success in this competition, and also in the e:;,say competition of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Dumb Animals. In this latter she gained' the Senior prize.

The Head Mistress's Tennis Cup,. which the present Six B has been successful in winning from r emove upwards through third, fourth and fifth forms, has, this year (very reluctantly we J1lust ad'mit, and only ,a fter a very stiff tussle ) been relinquished to the present fifth, It is very gratifying, however, to note that although we did not again win the cup, we nevertheless came off victorious in all our matches, ,a nd were only heaten by 2 points.

Every Monday, as the clock in the hall indicates the hour of one, a small group of girls with earnest purpose writ large on Jpeir faces) detach themselves from the frivolous and care-free mass, and, with determined steps wend their way towards sixth dass-room.

On charitable business bent are they, and by the skilful application of paper liberally "gloyed" they repair certain library ~:ooks which hav e paid the price of popularity by loosened pag,es ,a nd broken backs, and r estore them to a fi t condition for another week's caveful (? ) handling. Every Friday sees the same band standing before their r,espec!tive library cupboards striving to dissuade certain precotious infants from books which, according to the sage and muchexperienoed sixth, .are far beyond their youthful intellects, and to guide them; 路 into the paths of more suitable literature.

In connection with the reoent basketball match against S t. Margaret's, the members of the Sixth invited the visitors to afternoon tea, which was held in the studio, artistically decorated for the occasion. Miss Williams was unable to b e present, hut Miss Copas, Miss Mackay and Miss Hunt honoured the little function with' their pres ence. The tables (in the words of the poets)

groaned und er their weight of good things, but their sufferings were quickly reli eved (or transferred), although the viE.it.ors ate sparingly and with great moderation- -b efore the match! Afterwards, however, fresh attacks were made on the provis ions, and one may be sure that the appeti.tes of our team were, if anything, only . whetted py their victory, and the visitors (conGealing whatever feelings of chagrin the knowledge "of their first d efeat m'a y have aroused ), nobly did their d'uty by t he cream-puffs and other such delicious indigestible edibles.

Early in the year, the Old Girls invited us to a tea, and a very ,e njoyable afternoon was spent. Another invitation for a river picnic has just been received, to which we are all looking forward very much in anticip·ation of a very jolly time.

P.H.,O.H. V. FORM NOTES. Motto: "Tis only nobl e to be good."

There are a gre,at many new teachers this year, and our form-mis tress; Miss Jensen, is also a new-comer.

This year the whole form is working up hard for the big examinations at the end of the year, th'e Junior Public and the Christmas Examinations. They are a very good examiple to the rest of the school, and it is cl1aracteristic of 5th' form' girls to be seen walking about with a book in hand, chiefly Livies and Xenophons. The class examina tions a re just finished, and some of the girls have done very good work, especially Ena Eden and Bessie Forster in languages and mathematics 'respectively.

In the earlier part of the year, t11;e whole school went to see "The Merchant of Venie-e" one night, and ·e njoyeQl . it very much.

We hot1e everyone has profited .by it.

It was a great disappointm'ent for us to como back one Monday morning and find our desks about two-thirds of tHeir ordinary size. However, we prefer them to the other new on es, and' by careful a rrangement the books -can be fitted in easily.

15·

Only one girl in the form', Robena Jackson, entered for the essay on the "Prevention of Cruelty . to Animals.. " Unfortunately she did not obtain a prize, but her work was highly commended.

Of course, we hav,e not h'ad much time for sports, on account of our les -sons, but the. results of the matc'h'es are very satisfactory. The Tem;l'is Cup, was won from 6th, much to th eir dismay, by the narrow margin of -iwo· points. The tennis captain, Jean Dollar, has played very well, as have the other three girls also. .

Our pla ce for basket ball is second to 6th. It might fairly be said' tha;t none were more s urprise~ than · we were ourselves at winning so many- matches.

Our goal-thrower at firs t was Nett~ Frederick, but as she was absent we had to put in Nellie Hamilton, Who had_ never played .before. But sIre, as well as the rest of the team:, who also had never played with the exception of oneor two, played Up' beautifully.

Our form captain for this year is.

Edith Davey. She has looked after ,us. well, but ther,e is no need to keep ordernow between the b ells, because we have three mInutes to talk in, which' is a. great relief for our feelings.

The majority of the girls ar·e leav-· ing at Christmas, and it seemls thait there will not he a very larg;e VI. B next year.

E.D., J.Q. FOURTH FORM. Fourth Form contains 32 girls, most of whom intend to compete in the Junior Public Examination, to be held at the end of next year.

The attendance of Late has not been y.ery good, owing to the vaccination craze, influenza, and mleasles.

The vases hav1e been fairly well supplied with greenery and flowers fOir a great period or the year, andi tne classroom has been generally left tidy.

Before br·e aking-up at midwinter, Fourth form invited the mistresses ana the school to an impromp:t u concert in the Assembly Hall. This was tne first attemlp:t at entertaining ever mad'e by our form , and we do not think that. we wel1e wholly unsucoessful in amusing our audience.

In wntmg an essay for the ,Society for Prevention of Cru elty to Animals, Lucy Anderson was successful in gaining the senior oertificate.

Our form has had a representative in the School Tennis Team, and we are sure that Lena Cam'Pbell deserved' the place she held. Form tennis and' ba"ket ball matches have been played off excepting the basket ball match (.g~jnst VI. Form , with . whom. we tied.

Although we were not successful in wiening the Tennis Cup, we tender our hearty congratulations . to the winners, the V. Form, and hope to do better ourselvesnE'xt year.

The members of the form started to -collect for our museum at the beginning .-of the year, but we were not able to g,et the glass case until after mid'winter.

We have already got shells, curious birds' nests, fungi, butterflies and moths, "and many other interesting things.

Last term three members of the form issued a small mag'azine (for private .circulation) called "The Trio's Monthly."

The first number is very interes1!ing.

Leo Vallely is the only member ' of our form :e ntering for the Wight ;Memorial Competition. We all wish her 'every success.

The form is very interested: in the English literature subject this term. It is Henry V., our first acquaintance with .Shakespeare, and we ,e njoy it thoroughly.

In French literature we are stUdying .a very pretty , French song, "Au claire .de la lune." One of the members was familiar with the musical setting, :and favoured us with a vocal rendition oE it.

Her body was subtle, soft, and slim, And perfectly made her every limb, Slender and shapely the small brown hand Of Giralda the Queen of the gipsy-band.

Proud as a princess she held her head, Light as a snowflake her fairy-tread, Wayward and wild was the dusky curl, Round the face of Giralda the gipsy-girl.

Beaten and cursed from morn to night, Longing for freedom, yet scorning flight, We~ry the soul and sad the life Of Giralda the warJdering gipsy's wife.

HE number of boarders this 'year has increased by four, ' ~, last year th~re being ninef; tJeen and thIS year twentyc , '. , three. The majority come ~ <. from the west and north. , .'

It is very interesting and' amnsinK to hear each ltirl's opmlOn on town and country life, and each one thinks the part she comes from is Ihe best. We meet and form: friendships with girls whom perhaps we might lleVer have known, This is one of the advantages of boarding school.

Between us all we have rather a good time, and enjoy as many luxuries as school life will permit.

In the way of entertainments we ~ave been to a fair number, so the mistresses think, but not as many as we ourselves should like.

At the beginning of the year Miss Williams took those who wished to go to an interesting lecture in memory of David Livingstone. We have been to two orchestral concerts this year, and we musicians (?) thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful mmoiC. With Easter came Oscar Asche and his company, but to

·our sorrow ' we were' only allowed go to the "Merchant of Venice." As the night was wet -- the boarders went in cabs, and mE}t the rest of the party (80 in all ) at the door of : His Majesty's Theatre, and we all marched in lik,e angels clad in white. The seats were splendid, and we enjoyed the play very much, and were sad when the grand finale was plaved .

The Granrl Carnival of ' Nations, in which twenty-four took part (the bulk being boarders), had to be postponed ·on account of the rainy weather, but was a great success when it came off ..

During this year we have paid several visits to the Dandies. This breaks the monotony ot a Saturday evening.

As we were all very anxious to ,heal' the tamous tenor, John McCormack. Miss Williams, who approves of good music, allo.4Yed JIS to go and hear him. rWe had very good seats, ana quite losu ·ours'elves in the beautiful music.

During Exhibition week we w:ere given Wednesday a holiday and a workt hroug h on Friday. Wednesd'a y mornin~ \-ve all marched out of the gate with .our little packets of lunch under .our arms to the Exhibition grounds, arid had a gre;a t day, and were sorry at not being all owed go on Friday. Some of the lucky girls went to the excellent plays of that week with friends or relations, but most were among' the unlucky number.

The boys' sports came off on the 19th September, for which we had a workthrough, and spent the afternoon ad _miring the athletic powers of the boys, who- are so close to us· In August ther·e was an e'clipse .of the moon. We sat on the balcony in our dressing-gowns and watched the s hadow go across the moon's face. This favour was granted us on condition we b ehaved ourselves. For a while we were very good, but this must have b een too much of a strain on some ·of our nerves, as a few of the girls com m cnc3d their tricks by apple -pieing beds .and putting brushes down girls' backs etc. For this we were almost sent to 'bed, but on a second promise we were .allowed to remain. We were all very goqd, and talked' of su<?h interesting things as the world commg to an end until on turning in, a few of the girls,

'. Dec., H113.

whose beds had been ups,et, found they had to set to and make them again.

Wednesday and Saturday afternoons are given up to long walks which somelimes are enjoyable, our favourite places being North .Quay, where we can watch the .sights of the river, ' a"s we ar;e 'very interested in rowing, and the Acclimatisa~ tion Gardens, where our chief occupation is se.eking four-l eaf clovers, whic~ are supposed to be the emblem of good luck, and we all think we need luck at all times, ' especially when our ·exams. are near.

Some of our Saturday evenings are spent in tab leaux and plays given by some of the boarders who have brains enough to . write th e plays. Many 6f these are very good and bring out the .talents oJ: th 9 dramatic boarders.

During the midwinter ho~ idays one of the balconies was suitably fitted up for sleeping on, and since the hot weather has set in a few of the lucky girls are sleeping out. .

We always look forward to our Sunday evening walk along the terrace, as the evenings are so pleasant just now.

Since it has got warmer we have started swimming again, and spend' Tuesday afternoon at the baths.

This year is drawing to a close, and many of the senior girls will be leaving us. We hope that the girls of next year will have as good and gay a ' time as the board ers of this year have had, and we wish the girls who are 'l eavin~ every success and happiness 'i ll ''their future careers.

Samebody's heart was broken, Someone· was tired of life, Someone was tired of trouble, Someone was tired of stri~e.

And somebody told the baby, Sobbed out her tr oubles th ere, And the baby, of course she understood, She knew all about despair.

And the baby cooed and patted, And the baby eased soineone's pain, And the baby inade one 'life happy; And started someone agalll.

And Was For The

somebody ,' owed that the babv the sweetest gift from above, . someone ha:l. felt from th e depths of her wealth of the baby' s love.

Life at a University, .

,~BNJ~'as~:~ru1~;~,:~:;r ~~;.::;;e~~;

, than those spent at a Uni" versity. At the Sydney Uni'. versity there are affiliated .colleges, where students attending. lectures at the University mas live-three for men and one for women.

All cours'es are open to women, and !h.oug~ there .are :;tt present no women attackmg .Engmeermg or Law, there are many takmg Arts and Science and about :21 in Medicine.

When I was at school, my idea of a Ur:tiversity wa.~. a very hazy, and certamly a verymcorrect 'one. I think I imagined it was rather like . a very big school, where one went to continue and ~pecialise in subjects one found interestmg, and there was a degree at the end ·.of it.

I But a U~iv;ersity life does not merely mean a .hfe of stu~y-that is only a part of . It. There IS the social side which is quite as important. . ' We have a Women Graduates' As: soc~at~on ,and also a Women Sports' AssocIatIon. The former every woman stu· dent has to join, and the latter nearlv everyone joins from choice. . . At the h~ad of the Women Undergrad's .

IS a PreSIdent, elected yearly by the women , sfudents, and there is a com mittee whose work it is to choose subjects for debates, which are (l·ften very exciting. .Hockey and tennis are played with VIgour, and the clubs hold their own in the competition matches. Rowin a is possible, but is not so popular, as ~the University is not near the water.

But schoolgirls will he most interested in life at College, The first term the new student, the 'fresher,' usually feels a little out of · things. . She is a 'fresher' for ' a whole · year, but at our .College she does nOt have a bad time at all-though in the first term she has her room "souped." and in the third she has to perform at · a supper-party given by the d'e parting students . . The. last three years Jhe freshers, Instead of performing separ-

a:te~y, have chosen to act a play of theIr own composition. This vearit was a rather bloodcurdling melod'r:ama entitI~d "The F.resher'~ F_olly." Really: the fust year student IS a very nappy person, after she has recovered from any homesickness she may have felt. · and. has got u~·ed t6 college ·life. .

GIrls may hke to have some idea of an ordinary day in CoUeg!e. Dressinghell at 7.15, and a rush for the baths Bl'(>akfast at 7.50.

First we hav~ prayers, Jhen br.eakfast is br9ught ,in and rut on a SIde table, and we all; help ourselves. Lunch is served in the same way.

After breakfast we all ,separate and attend lectures at the University or woi'k in our rooms or on the .b'alc~.nies.

Afternoon tea is in the common-r'oom' fro~ four till about half-past five.

GIrls who have not lectures in the afternoon play tennis, or amuse themselves in some other wav. Skatina on the top balcony was a favourite form of exercis·e this year, and all sorts of means were devised to lessen the s·e verity of the falls. Probably the onloo~ers h~d the best of the game. . Dmner IS at 6.30, when the Principal ~Jkes . _all students to be present; and m wmter, there usuallv follows a dance in the common-room · until 8 o'clock.

In the long ~mmmer evenings, students ~troll about the lawn, gradually separatmg to go off to Lheir rooms to work or to talk.

Then at 9.30 there is a general move fo~ sUIl~er, which w.e have in the Ilantr-y.

WIth prIde. There IS one on'each floor ~nd they are the ,most frequented place~ In College. On the gas ring there we do any cooking we want, and we always get our own supper, usually taking it in turns-bread, butter, and a jug of milk being put in each pantrv. ~Vhen the call is given, we all assemble In the pantry, sit on the floor, and thoroughly enjoy ourselves, talking hard about ,e verything. Then we . sep'a rate, and go to bed. .

Sometj~es, jf there is a good play on, or :;t good ?pera , we make up little parhes . •rnakmg ourselves early .tea in . the pantry before we go.

is ' called. All the old stud'e nts who are able come, and sometimes we have fanoy dress. We have our annual College dance in the first week of second term.

That day we all cut lectures and work very hard, as we do everything ourselves-g,et. the supper, and decorate the College, which lends itself ,easily to 路decoration. The dining hall is so beautiful .that we do nothing there except put a few palms on the dais, and it serves as the ballroom. Our c路ommon-room and the verandah we turn into supper rooms.

The last two Mondays in the month the Prin cipal (Miss Macdonald) and' students are at home to visitors, and all rooms are thrown open on those days.

There is much more to tell, but space is limited, so I shall just wish success to the magazine and to the propos~d ;Women's Coll<>ge in Queensland. "( Things don't d isturb the sOlll: They re malll moti onl ess with out."

"Be calm", the wise old sage remarks "Things don't disturb the soul; They're motionless without, can't hurt, You make yourself the whole Of the disturbance for yourself By th' opinion formed within," All very well, philosopher!

Hadst sat amidst the din Of demon hordes of tropic pests, Mosquitoes, flies and gnats, Philosophisings would have ceased, And with resounding pats.

The alighted foe thou would'st have slain And fled incontinent To meditate upon thy bed, Beneath the friendly tent Of well-tucked in mqsquito net, And, peace r e'stored once more. , "Things don't -Confound that wretched skeetDisturb the soul, of yore.

Philosophers-that imp again Sings right into my ear.

"I'll have your blood," and so he will.

This much to me is clear.

Unless I first have his-the fiend, I'm lumps from brow to chin, My hands are all one mass of bites, I'll have the candle in."

And so that calm philosopher Found no rest to his soul, Until he had well-killed his foe, Then laid him down and smole Sad-reflective smile- "Things don'tWell, yes, sometimes they do , When they're '/Iut motionless without They're oft a pesky crew."

Queensland University.

Dear Girls,-I have been asked to give you an. outline of Academic life as it exists at present i,n the Vniversity of Queensland, Borore I ):legin I should like to offer ' you, on behalf of all the pai?t GrCj,tnmar School girls at the University, our heartiest congrutulations on the appearance of your magazine.

Life at the Universitv divides itself up into three main divisions-work, sport and social activities, the greate,s t importance being attached to any onein accordance with the tastes and ambition s of individual students.

The choice of a course for women is limited to two faculties , Arts a nd Science, though either faculty offers scope ,e nough to satisfy even the most energetic. The Honours courses in the ' Arts fa culty are Classics, Philosophy.

Mathematics, Modern Languages, History, and in Science, Biology, Geology,..

Chemistry. Arts students spend .practically all their morning hours in the lecture rooms, but are fre e in the afternoons, while their scientific brethren are toiling in the laboratories examining the inner workings of various creatures,. stones or chemicals. It is a noteworthy fact that towards the end of the year each student finds that for some reason or pther, her course is far the moslt difficult of all courses.

Interest in work is supplemented-if not supplanted--by interes t in sport. In this respect the men are of course farmore active than the women, who confin e their energies as yet to tennis and hockey. There are two tennIs courts, for the use of the students and the football fi eld on the Domain has, by the courtesy of the footballers, been used as a hockey ground. Perhaps in the futnrea rowing club may be within the realms of pos~ibility for women.

The various clubs are affiliated under the Sports Union, which I".:; governed by an executive and' committee elected' by the members.

Side by side with the Sports Union is .the University Union, which controls the Musical Society, the Dramatic Society, the Women's Club, the Debating

Dec., 1913.

GIRLS' GRAMMAR SCHOOL MAGAZINE.

.societv. The Union intends to furnish the common rooms, and has already :provided each common-ro om with: a tele-phone and has purchased a piano, which lives in the men's common room. The piano has been a boon and a blessing to the Musical Society, which holds -weekly practices in the men's common .room. These practices have always been · a source .of much enjoyment to the members of the society, in spite of opposition choruses thai have occasion.ally been set up. · The Musical Society has a friendly rival in the Dramatic Society, which has justified its existence by the pro·duction of a play each . year, the first being Sheridan's "St Patrick's Day," the •second Robertson's "School."

It is hardly too much to say that in add'ition to the tangible benefits derived from these public performance3, 1he practIces necessarily preceding them have done much to further social intercourse ·among the students.

The .Debating Society began its activities during the second term of this year, and though the attendance lIt the weekly meetillc5s wa~ com'paratively small, the beginning has been made and the interest shown in the debates this year will increase as the number of stud ents increases and th eir skill in de bating is developed.

The Women's Club exists for the purpose of fostering the social life bf the women stud ents and furthering their interestsin the Univers ity. It has justified its existence in manv ways, but most clearly by its three a nnual func tions, the first being a welcome to the fresher women, the second a sodal evening at which the staff and the men students are entertained, the third' a more formal even ing for women only, to which representative women in all branches of women's work are invited.

As the r-hysical and social sides of Academic life are thus provided for, the · Christian Union stands, as _its name would imply, for the development of the spiritual element in our nature, which tends to be overwhelmed by our daily · activities. The weekly meetings of the

21"

Union and Bible Study Circles have proved a source of great interest and' benefit to the members.

Apart from the scope for social intercourse afforded by such clubs as these, the men have the ,advantage of having three residential Colleges. The absence of College life among the women has been keenly felt for the past two years, and it is llOped that with the opening of the Women's College next March a new spirit will be infused into the life of the women as a whole-the outcome of a Collegiate atmosphere. The nearest approach to College life we Jave been able to enjoy this year is the delight of having' a Common Room that is large enough to move about in, in place of the small cloak room we had last year.

Here we are ahle to .indulg·e in many pleasurable levities calculated to restore a proper balance after a morning's hard work. The common room is ruled with a rod of ironbv ' the women members of the common' roomcom'mittee, and' it js only the rashest of the rash who would dare to rebel against their august commands.

A literary outle t for all .unappease'd' rebels .is affor ded by the University Magaz in e, to whose sympathetic columns the hot-headed undergraduate may carryall his grievances. The magazine is published once a -term, and herein may always be found current news of Univl'.rsity life.

A brief summary of the chief activities ot University life is wholly inadequate to express or even faintly indicate the advantages that may be derived from a University career. It rests with you girl s now to uphold the honour of your school in the ranks of University 'Women, and to make it your aim to give to the University something of yourselves and your energies in return fOT the many advantages you get from it. .

Success to your magazine, and a hearty welcome to all ·of you . who join the women at the University.

DORIS W ARAKER.

.. The Fire in the Night:' It was at a 'boarding scho01, and they had had fire drill in school this day.

As it was very hot summer arid fires had been ragin6 in different places, great precautions had been taken against fire breaking out in the large school, which was two-storied. Fire hoses and taps were put in every dormitory and cor ridor, and the girls had practised escaping quickly and quietly from the building.

A lo t of instructions as to what they should do if a fir e were to tab place, were read to them, and then they had practised taking the fire hose down and quickly adjusting it for use.

After school, when the girls were in the dormitory discussing t he day 's events, one girl, Beryl Maclean, turned' the conversat.ion to fires. She 'had taken great interest in the. day's , work, anld now she gaVie a reCItal of the many brave things she would do if a fir e broke out. "I think you have fire on the brain," Joyce Wilson remarked to her; "take care you don't dream about it to-night and s tart walking in your sleep, as you did before." That night, after the girls had all gone to sleep and silence reigned in the dormitory, Beryl heard ,a cry of "fir e." She had be,e n asleep for hours, but the cr;y awoke her, arid she jumped up, wrapped

23-路

her dressing-gown around h er, and ran to the fire-hose at the end of the dormitory. She turn ed the tap and applied' the hos e as they had been taught the previous day, and taking the hose she turned it on the beds around her, shouting "Get ' up, the house is on fire."; The streaming cold water ' whi ch was: intend ed to put out the flames which she thought she saw, fell on the beds, of the sleeping forms. There were路 shrieks as the girls awoke, to find themselves wet through. They sprang out ofhed, and to their surprise beheld a white fi gure standing in the rrtiddle of the dormitory hosing the beds , with the . tap turned on with fun force.

"What on ear th are you d:oing ?"asked' one girl.

"Don'L you see the school is on firo ?'!' she said ; "come quickly and help me put it out. '! .

The girls looked at one another aghast, and then one said, "Why, she must be walking in her sleep. Whatever shall we do?" . For they were standing there路 drenched to the skin, with that stream' of water still plying the room.

At last one said, dodging the water:that was turned to her, "Tell her togo to bed and see if she will go. L think hers is dry enough, and I 'wlas told' tha t you must 'never wake anyone who路 is walking in 'his sleep, as it mi~hit prove fatal."

So one girl went up to her and told her to turn off the hose as the fire was <out, and told her togQ __J9 bed, and she qmetly obeyed them.

'When she was in bed the girls stood in the wet dormitory surveying their wet clothes and beds, and at last tIre, comicality of the whole thing grew upon them, and they laughed and laugned.

They couId not go to bed, as their beds were sopping, and the floor was also wet with the water. So they d'r ess'ed in what dry clothes they had in 'their wardrobes and wrung out thle water in their sheets and wet bed clothes, and! then considered what was best to dO . . They decided to go into tIre other dormitory, borrow rugs and eider-downs" and sleep on the floor until morning, when they cou1d explain to the mistress_ They carried out their resolutions, but they did not get much sleep. The silli-

ness of their position was so comical that -they could not help laughing. Next 'morning the girls of the raided d'ormi. tory were greatly surprised at seeing sleeping forms , rolled in rugs and' eiderdowns, ranged around their bed's, es pecially when they began to recognise the various articles, which were their own particular property. The situation was explamed when the girls were waKenfd hy kicks arid knocks, and' there was gre:,tt merriment there.

The girls then went back to their own dormitory, after thanking the owners of the rugs for their use, and there they found a much perplexed girl sitting in路 bed rubbing her eyes an'd gazing with surprise and alarm at the wet.. empty beds around her.

"Whatever has happened ?" she asked . .

The girls told her, and she, of course, indignantly denied having been sleepwalking, but when the girls laughed at her, d:eseribing her heroieattitude, she was forced to believe what they told her .

They went and told the m'istress .6f the catastrophe, and their . mattresses and wet clothes were of course put out to dry, arid t he almost dry floor dried pro perly.

There has been no more sleep-walking in the school sinoe that night;
