July, 1930—July, 1931.

This has been a wonderfully happy year. In some ways, perhaps, it has seemed fuller than ever, so constant have been our engagements, so many our interests. And yet as we look back we can feel that probably never has better work been done. The Lent Term brought a devastating epidemic of measles and influenza, but never have we felt prouder of the school and of the way in which every single person rose to the occasion. With six of the staff incapacitated, with the domestic staff entirely disorganised, we might have expected difficulties But difficulties there seemed to be none, and we came through unscathed, and ended the term on a note of victory, when we heard that we had won a scholarship at Lady Margaret Hall. This, following upon the outstanding success in the School Certificate, has been a great encouragement. Of building developments we can this year report little Two very convenient practising rooms were added last September, and this term, mainly through the generosity of an anonymous friend, we are rejoicing in another new hard tennis court, a great acquisition. There are many minor improvements, and a great addition to our equipment is the Epidiascope which the Governors gave us last autumn. One point of special interest this year was our link with the Round Table Conference, as we had with us for the Autumn Term Parvati Kumaramangalam, the eleven year old daughter of Mrs. Subbaryan, one of the two women delegates to the Conference. Parvati settled down remarkably quickly to school life, and we think that she carried back with her to India very happy memories of her short time with us.
