dragons. We were allowed to use our imaginations and make the dragons just the way we thought they might look. With the terracotta clay we had to be careful not to fold it over

SKIING Mandeville should be proud of her talented skiers who are bursting with potential with their ability to make a terrifying team.
On Friday August 16th the Mandeville ski team (which is made up of twenty-four girls from Years 7 to 12) arrived at Mt. Buller, ready and raring to go. After a pep talk from Miss Dickinson at the Arlberg, the girls made tracks and headed for their race venues.
The weather was shocking and the conditions were difficult to ski in: the 47 .1

MUSIC 1991 has been a year involving
several additions and highlights in the Music Department. Miss Head joined us to conduct the Senior
4./
School Orchestra, and also formed the Flute/Choir Ensemble.
The introduction of fortnightly
Lunchtime Concerts has provided music students with a chance to
Jl
perform in an informal atmosphere.

For many girls, these concerts have been a wonderful opportunity to
have a practice performance, before a music exam or an Oak Parlour Recital.
The Loreto Mandeville/Kirribilli
Combined Concert in August was a marvellous opportunity for all music students to participate in a formal

People file along,

I love this bear,
First given to me by my friend This bear has seen so much of me.
Pollution hangs, Like despair on the shoulders of the people.
I turn to it in times of need
And small as it is it comforts me.
The air is heavy, No sky can be seen past the heads of the skyscrapers What will the future bring? Where will these people be in ten years? Is their plight hopeless? Will they stjll be walking the streets
in peak hour, or dead? These people have never known life, They have never seen nature.
Eyes rolling but a Smile still present on his blue-black
Stuck on a pencil His yellow roots grow longer As his face becomes ink-stained.

Perfectly fit my hand Calms even the most troubled waters.

never forget to make a conscious effort not to mention anythjng you did whilst wagging. It is only too easy to fall into the trap of
accidentally telling your parents about something you did while you were supposedly at school, and very often this will click and they will
begin to ask probing questions. The best day of the week to wag is
definitely Friday. By skipping the last day of the school week you are

importantly, it is also much safer because in the roll-call book it is much less noticeable to see the
blank next to your name when the teacher has to move across two
columns on Monday. If this blank goes unnoticed then you are safe because no note will be requested from your parents. If, however, you are caught out and a note is
needed, then you will have to forge one yourself or have a reliable friend do the dirty work for you. Another handy hint is to begin the forgery from the start of the year so that the fake signature does not seem alien.
Wagging is certainly not an essential component of school life, however, 1
strongly recommend it. Even just one day of freedom can give you enough pep to last for ages, not to mention the guilt which will drive you to do more work in order to compensate for the lost hours. However, there is no point wagging if you are likely to get caught, or if you are unprepared and waste your
time. By following these easy steps you can be assured that your day of freedom and adventure will run
smoothly and will be 'something to tell the grand-kiddies' in years to come.
