S. MARY'S SCHOOL NEWS SHEET. July, 1928-July, 1929. The year that has just closed will always be remembered for two things—the completion of the scheme for the decoration of the enlarged Chapel, and the important addition to S. Prisca's. The Chapel is now panelled throughout, and very beautiful it is. The simplicity of the scheme makes a direct appeal, and those who have combined to make this contribution to the school have the satisfaction of knowing that their gift is not only a lasting possession but one that will improve as the years go by. The additions to S. Prisca's are very dignified, very spacious, very attractive. No school of our size, and very few much larger than ourselves can boast so fine a cookery school. The whole scheme was inaugurated by a most generous father, Sir John Hindley. Others have helped, and that the kitchen is so beautifully tiled we owe to another generous benefactor, Mr. Bodinnar. The most attractive dormitory above has been named " The Arthur Dunne," in gratitude for all that Mr. Dunne accomplished for us in days when the future of the school seemed so uncertain. It seemed only fitting that his name should be remembered in the same wa^y as those of our Founders, whose names are commemorated in the dormitories in the School House. There have been other improvements during the year, less striking, but none the less important in the development of the school. When we return in September we shall find, we hope, a model cloakroom, a very greatly needed addition. The year has also been marked by the inauguration of the Old Girls' Association. The results are most encouraging. Everything points to a healthy development. We shall hope for a record number at our Biennial Reunion next July, and in the meantime understand that the Committee are hard at work on plans for the January Reunion to be held in London
