EDITORIAL

Much has been achieved during the past year for in the Autumn Term we look forward to the completion of the alterations in School House and of the stone passage across Chapel Lawn. Curzon House, which has recently been bought by the school, will then have become part of St. Cecilia's.

The new hard tennis courts near the swimming-pool have been a most useful acquisition and the new spring-board has been a source of great enjoyment throughout the summer.

Although there has been some difference of opinion about the four modern reproductions now hanging in the New Wing, the delightful flower prints by Ehret have been universally appreciated.

The long summer half-term, which included the Ascension Day holiday, enabled everyone to go home, and many were lucky enough to go away in the Autumn. In addition to these there have been many expeditions and entertainments during the year. On Founders' Day, in spite of the unusually wet weather, many visitors were able to attend the celebrations and the flowers were again most attractively arranged.

With real gratitude for all that she has done for the school we should like to wish Mademoiselle Antoine every happiness in her retirement.

We were very sorry not to have her here for the Summer Governors' Meeting, but characteristically she went through the agenda for the meeting with me four days after her leg had been pinned. She is getting on very well and we all wish her a speedy and complete recovery and hope to see her here next term.

We thank her and all the Governors, as usual, very much indeed for their continued care and thought for us.

THE STAFF As always happens, we have had a certain number of changes on the Staff during-the year.

In September we were glad to welcome Mrs. Richardson as Matron; Miss Croasdale to help with the teaching of French; Miss Goulstone to teach piano; Miss Platt as Assistant Matron, and Miss Henley as Assistant Cook.

In December we were very sorry to say goodbye to Mrs. Browne, who had to leave us as she was moving to Sheffield.

In January we were very pleased to welcome in her place Mrs. Godfrey, who also comes over from Marlborough to help with the Science.

In April we were sorry to lose Miss Oakley, after 4 terms.

Miss Croasdale, having married in the Easter holidays, returned as Mrs. Hughes in May. At the end of the Summer Term we had to say good-bye to Miss Fortt, who left after 6 years to be married; to Miss Gritton, who is going abroad, after 3 years; to Miss Henley, who has been here i year; to Mr. Douglas Guest, who has left after 7 years here on taking up his appointment as Organist of Worcester Cathedral.

It is difficult to express what we feel about losing Mademoiselle Antoine, after 27 years. She has been so integral a part of St. Mary's School and of the Staffroom that one can hardly imagine them without her. We all want to express our very best wishes to her for great happiness in her retirement.

Although possibly we have had fewer concerts this year than previously, we have been extremely lucky in having very distinguished artists to perform to us, and altogether the music of the year has been successful and enjoyed by all.

Everyone was delighted to see Dr. Jacques looking so well again at the Musical Festival after his absence through illness the year before. We were very honoured to have three poems specially set to music for us by Elizabeth Maconchy, and they were much appreciated by both the large audience and the performers. " Spring " and " Summer " from " The Seasons " by Haydn occupied the main part of the seniors' programme, while the Cantata " The Moon " by Purcell was sung by the juniors.

The London Czech Trio gave us a most enjoyable concert in October. It was very nice to have Karel Horitz and Lisa Marketta to play to us again, and we were pleased to welcome Suzanne Rozsa.

Douglas Cameron was given a great welcome when he came again as leader of the London String Quartet on November z8th, with Granville Jones, Carl Pini and Keith Cummings. They gave us a delightful performance, and most kindly showed the string players of the school their instruments afterwards.

The Carol Service took place on December i6th in the Parish Church. The main feature was Benjamin Britten's " A Ceremony of Carols ". We also sang two unaccompanied pieces—" King Jesus hath a Garden ", and " The Shepherds' Carol ".

The school was extremely lucky in having a piano recital by Julius Isserlis, the great interpreter of Chopin's music. Among other works he played Chopin's 24 Preludes, and Schumann's " Etudes Symphoniques ".

A long-standing wish that Miss Mundlak should perform to the school was fulfilled in the Spring Term, when her Chalumeau Trio gave us a varied and enjoyable evening.

It was a pleasant surprise on coming back at the beginning of the Summer Term to find that there was a concert on the following day by the Paragon Concert Society, which forms the wind section of the B.B.C. West of England Light Orchestra. None of the players had visited the school before except the clarinettist, Richard Walthew, who teaches here. The highlight of the performance was Handel's " The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba ", which they played again at the end as an encore.

The Upper V and VI's were fortunate in having seats in Salisbury Cathedral for a performance of " The Kingdom " by Elgar, which was played by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Douglas Guest, and sung by the Salisbury Musical Society. The soloists were Pamela Bowden, soprano; Eileen Poulter, contralto; Michael GriffithJones, tenor, and Gordon Clinton, bass. As this oratorio is less fre10

quently performed than others, we were especially lucky to hear such eminent people in it.

At Marlborough this year the Sixth Forms and the Marlborough Choral Society sang the " Messiah ", conducted by Peter Godfrey.

We hope that the congregation in the chapel enjoyed the performance as much as did the singers, from whose point of view it was a great success.

Mr. Guest's departure for Worcester in September is felt by everyone as a great loss, It is impossible to over-estimate all that he has done for us in the last seven years; each year he has always put in an immeasurable amount of hard work in preparation for the Music Festival, and we were very grateful that he should have stepped into the breach when Dr. Jacques was unable to come, not to mention his untiring efforts to cultivate some musical feeling in his unresponsive pupilsl We should like to wish him every success at Worcester and hope that he will often visit the school.

We are also very sorry to have to say goodbye to Miss Gritton after three years, and hope that she will be happy in her new job.

Both orchestras have increased during the year owing to the efforts of Miss Mundlak. We are, as always, greatly indebted to all the Music Staff for their patience and encouragement during the year.

Although the standard of Form Shakespeare was lower this year than it sometimes is much imagination and thought had evidently been put into the costumes and grouping.

ii

The Lower VI and the Upper V East tied for first place with the scenes from Love's Labours Lost and from King Richard II. In Love's Labours Lost, much amusement was afforded by the tribulations of the three lovers who had sworn not to love, but perhaps most was caused by the sight of a longsuffering tree draped in blue cloaks. The producer had put much thought into the grouping, entrances and exits of the characters, who appeared down a long terrace built from chairs.

The Upper V are especially to be congratulated on winning with their performance of Richard II because not only were the other half of the form acting scenes from the same play, but it had already been produced the year before by another form. The scene of Richard's murder, difficult to act without becoming either comic or melodramatic, was done effectively and with feeling.

Company plays were as usual comedies, and were very successful.

On the first night Moberly and Osmond gave a performance of Quiet Wedding, which showed a household turned upsidedown by a wedding which was not as quiet as had been intended. The second performance, /'// leave it to You, acted by Poore and Edmund Rich, amused everyone with its story of the uncle who promised each of his nephews and nieces to leave them in his will all his money, while in fact he possessed nothing in the world. Last but most certainly not least was the spirited production of Fat King Melon, by the Junior members of Grosstete.

Even those among the audience who pretended to despise fairy stories could not but laugh, especially at the dramatic denouement in which it came to light that the thin princess had stuffed herself out with a cushion in order to gain the love of fat King Melon.

Although it is described elsewhere mention must be made of the production of Othello at Stratford, which has left all those who were lucky enough to see it with vivid memories of the beautiful costumes and exquisite scenery.

LINDSAY ERRINGTON.

In the Autumn Term it was felt that the activities and usefulness of the Play-reading Society were too much hampered by the necessity of having to limit its choice to plays suitable for acting to the whole school, so we tried the experiment of limiting the readings to actual members of the Society and of reading without action. Unfortunately it was only found possible to find dates for two readings.

THE FRENCH PLAYS AT SWINDON On September 291x1,1956, the Upper and Lower Sixth Forms were fortunate enough to see La Troupe Franchise performing Le Medicin Malgre lui, by Moliere, in Swindon Grammar School. Although we could not understand all the dialogue the production was extremely good, so that the plot was easy to follow. The chief character is a jovial woodcutter, who is obliged to disguise himself as a doctor, and 12

by rather unorthodox methods manages to cure the feigned dumbness of Geronte's daughter. Geronte, the old man, and Lucas, the rustic buffoon, were played with spirit, and Sganarelle himself contributed largely to the success of the comedy.

We also much enjoyed the short modern farce by Tristan Bernard, wh'ch some of us found easier to understand, as some of it was in English, and we were most amused to see a " typical" English country squire through Continental eyes 1 We were very glad not to have missed the opportunity of seeing such an excellent performance of French plays.

A MEMBER OF THE UPPER SIXTH.

"OTHELLO" AT STRATFORD In the autumn the Sixth Forms went by bus to Stratford-on-Avon to see a performance of Othello. It was an excellent production, and the scenery and clothes were particularly striking. The acting was convincing, although some of us thought that Harry Andrews as Othello slightly spoilt his performance by shouting some of his speeches, and Emlyn Williams as lago was almost too sinister. Desdemona, we felt, was over-sophisticated and rather disappointing, but Emilia and Bianca were both very well played, The minor characters helped to sustain the atmosphere of the play, and the crowd scenes were well-staged.

The outing was much enjoyed by everyone, and the picnic food provided by Miss Jackson was greatly appreciated.

G. KEEN and N. STALLARD-PENOYRE.

THE BALLET, 1957 On Founders' Day this year, the school performed a ballet called New Year's Eve. It began with a New Year's Eve party, and as the clock struck midnight, the old year went out, and the New Year was heralded with different themes representing the months of the year. These were most effective, and varied from skating in winter to dancing under the shade of gaily coloured parasols in summer.

We must thank Miss Barkley very much for all the work she put into the production of this ballet and Miss Gritton and Miss Goulstone for all the time they gave to accompanying at the piano. The scenery, designed by Miss Stannard, was very striking, and all the costimes gay and charming.

A special performance was given to the Calne Sixty-plus Club.

This was much enjoyed, and seemed to be altogether a great success.

Dr. Kathleen Bliss on " America—the new Christendom" .

Miss M. Hopkins on the " Work of an Almoner ".

Miss Popham on " Careers."

Mr. Fearon on " Paths across the Fields."

The Publicity Secretary of the St. Pancras Housing Society, the Rev. John Gowing.

Mar. 6th. Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald on " Natural History as a Hobby."

Mar. i gth. Canon Eric Heaton on " Is Christianity a Religion? " May 27th. Miss Sharp, Assistant Probation Officer for Wilts, on the " Work of a Probation Officer."

June 15th. Mr. Townroe, General Secretary of the Franco-British Society on " Aspects of Present-Day France."

The subject of the first lecture of the year was " America—the new Christendom." We learnt much about the state of the Church in America today, and Dr. Bliss made us realize among other things, how many more people are church-goers in America than in England.

Miss Popham's talk on careers was very helpful in showing us the great opportunities there are for girls in all professions.

Although after Mr. Fearon's talk on the subject of " Paths across the Fields " we do not feel exactly inclined to follow the example of the Roman soldier who marched twenty miles a day on a glass of water, nevertheless our interest has been greatly roused, and walking is far more of a pleasure!

The Rev. John Gowing gave us a vivid idea of the difficulties of re-housing in London at this time.

Having so often listened to Mr. Brian Vesey Fitzgerald's enthralling tales of animal life on the wireless, we were delighted to meet him in person. We shall not easily forget his useful suggestions for getting rid of unwanted visitors. When a bear answers the front door bell, or pet snakes slither from unexpected places, we shall now know well enough to take the hint and leave.

We were most privileged to have Canon Eric Heaton of Salisbury Cathedral to speak to us last Spring on Christianity as a religion.

This year we have been fortunate in learning more about the various branches of social work. Miss Hopkins and Miss Sharp enlightened us greatly on the indispensable work of almoners and probation officers.

We came away from Mr. Townroe's talk with a much wider knowledge of the economic and political situation in present-day France.

This year we have had an exceptionally varied selection of lectures and we should very much like to thank those who have arranged them.

H. BROOKE and S. CRAWFORD. 14

ENTERTAINMENTS " The pleasures of this world " sometimes seem to us rather far away from the secluded life of school, but the staff are sympathetic, and Miss Jackson always shows understanding of our appetites.

Those who were not fortunate enough to go away for the Autumn Half-term went to Marlborough and to Devizes to see the film Smiley.

On Sunday they ran wild on the downs in the morning. Monday's jaunt was a little more serious—an expedition by bus to Longleat armed with a picnic lunch.

The Upper V entertainment on the evening of the Marlborough dance, was entitled Hogwash or Assorted Lumps. This somewhat mystifying production turned out to be a very humorous fairy tale in modern garb which thoroughly amused the many ' Cinderellas' assembled in the Gym. Meanwhile the Sixths were dancing in the hall with the Marlborough boys, who had braved the threshhold of this feminine establishment.

The end of term brought us another fairy tale written and produced by the Upper VI. Some of the more valiant staff appeared in picturesque roles much to the amusement of the audience. A romantic supper followed it, lit by red and green candles.

The Saturday of our Spring Half-term saw us again on the downs, left to make our own way back to school. In the evening, we saw a film of the " Ascent of Everest."

In the Summer Term, Ascension Day, the half-holiday in celebration of Penelope Athorpe's exhibition and the following week-end combined to give us and the Staff a long week-end at home.

D. WHARTON.

THE VISIT TO BERKELEY CASTLE On the 6th June the two Lower V's paid a visit to Berkeley Castle.

The castle, a strong fortified medieval building, belongs to the Berkeley family, and has done so ever since it was built. On entering the Castle by the twelfth-century door we found ourselves in a small room containing very spectacular banisters. In this room there was a deep dungeon, into which carcases were thrown. Many of Drake's belongings are kept in this castle, including an exceptionally large chest which enabled him to lay his clothes out flat. We saw the tiny room in which Edward II is supposed to have been murdered. There were some beautifully embroidered bedspreads and pillows, used by Elizabeth I. There is a magnificent Great Hall, which is supposed to be the largest hall of that time in Europe.

In the garden there is a hut which belonged to Jenner, and it was in this village that he first experimented in inoculation against smallpox. The church there has its tower about a hundred yards away from 15

the body, for fear of possible invasion, when it m'ght get in the way of the guns. We ended our visit by having a quick look at the gardens, which were looking very bright and gay, especially the rose garden.

GAY GOODMAN.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY The Natural History Society has had a fairly active year. There have been several very pleasant expeditions to the Downs. One party went to the source of the Marden and saw where the Calne water comes from, which was most interesting.

There was an amusing lecture by Brian Vesey Fitzgerald in the Spring Term. He gave us advice on keeping all sorts of pets from python to bears.

We have been extraordinarily lucky with the weather as only one outing has been spoilt by rain.

We should like to thank Miss Aubrey very much for arranging so many expeditions and Miss Jackson for providing such wonderful suppers.

CHRISTIAN DUFF and GRISELDA WILLIAMS.

THE LIBRARY As usual we wish to thank very much those who have given books to the Library during the year. We greatly appreciate their generosity.

During this school year we have classified and catalogued about two hundred and sixty new books.

P.M.L. ROCK ÂťN ROLL ART? A couple of terms ago Miss Gibbins asked me to buy some prints of modern pictures for the new passage. On hearing the word " modern " my mind naturally turned to the very latest school " the Tachists." These artists are very concerned, as you know, with the method of painting. Some get interesting textures by dribbling rivulets of paint from tins across their pictures, while others construct their paintings with concrete, tar or even asphalt, materials, I believe, more usually associated with navvies than with sensitive artists. After viewing the results there are some people, though I am not one of them, who think real navvies would have done much better. However, on second thoughts, I decided that to introduce their work into St. Mary's was perhaps beyond the call of duty and instead I chose some small but typical works by four universally rcv:red and honoured Modern Masters, paintings which I knew had not been considered Avant Garde within the last thirty years.

16

Indeed so orthodox were they, that when I saw them screwed to their wide expanse of off-white wall, I felt sure that they would more often than not remain unheeded in a passage where everyone was constantly hurrying about her business.

There the matter rested until the other day, when during a lull in conversation at lunch I happened to say, " And what do you think of the new pictures ? " These words might have been an explosion by the way they galvanized everyone into action; some bristled with indignation, others turned rigid with anger, while digestions must have suffered everywhere. Urgent voices hurled opinions from all sides. " They stand out too suddenly. They come out at you." " Very unnatural—want more detail." " Do I look at them ! My goodness . . . they make you look at them." " They are so violent! " " That's because," I said, at last managing to get a word in, " they paint without light and shade; as you know, there's nothing new in that. Many people have done it in the past; all children, the Japanese, Gothic artists and Ancient Egyptians, to mention but a few. When you are used to it you will be able to see the subject beneath the technique, and widen your experience of the beauties of nature, for almost all good artists see something lovely in nature which although it has always existed has not been appreciated before. You remember no-one thought the Alps were beautiful until Turner painted them, and then everybody did." " That may be so," said one of them, " but I like pictures that are quiet, gentle and English—like Constable." She smiled nostalgically and I thought it useless to remind her that the latter's vision had once been thought to be revolutionary.

Afterwards, I went to look once more at the pictures which had such surprising power to raise the light of battle in the eyes of all beholders. To me they appeared very innocent—an enchanting still life by Matisse, a Gauguin, a Bracque and a gay painting of a cornfield

by Dufy, naturalistic apart from one blue cart-horse.

The only thing they had in common was their bright, flat colour, which was painted as flatly as the walls on which they were hung and as flatly as the unmoulded corridor doors. In fact, they resembled a thousand and one manufactured articles which now surround us in our daily life, from new buildings to electric neons, and kitchen utensils to bridges.

All this was odd, because the pictures were so much earlier. Or was it odd? Perhaps not, for the artist is sensitive to the fluctuating ideas of his time, and to the changes in social conditions. He has the power to create forms and images which express these. We have only to think of the religious zeal of the twelfth-century to see how appropriate were the Gothic pointed forms which were everywhere, in the

pointed arch, monk's hood, crocketed, pinnacled and mediaeval dress, a shape that everywhere suggests praying hands, while the delicate Rococo curves and the humanistic proportions were well suited to the aristocratic society of the eighteenth century. It was interesting to wonder what twentieth-century art had to express. Its onslaught was certainly being resisted by many, but at least it had vitality. " Looking at that Blue Horse . . . " a voice interrupted my thoughts. " Do you like it ? " I asked. " Me ! Oh, it's narrow-minded not to like them but I wouldn't have them in my house. They are too aggressive and primitive. They may be all right for the progressives, you know," she continued, " the Rock 'n Roll teenagers."

J.S.

EXPEDITION TO SWEDEN As there are very few boarding-schools in Sweden some of us were asked to go out there last August to give sixty Swedish girls some idea of what life in an English boarding-school is like. The course was held at Sigtuna, about thirty miles from Stockholm. It lasted a fortnight and the remaining week we stayed with families near Stockholm.

The Swedish girls had lessons in English every morning from Miss Barkley, Miss Beaulah and the three Swedish Staff. The afternoons were spent swimming either in the lake or in the bath at the boys' school where Uppingham were running a similar course. We had " dinner " at 5.30 p.m. and afterwards we taught them Scottish reels and English songs and games, including tennis and rounders.

The first Saturday there was a riotous " New Girls' Party " for everyone. We played English games, ending up with the most energetic variations of the Hokey-Cokey, performed three times through, without a pause. To judge from the noise it was the most successful New Girls' Party we have ever had.

At the end of the second week we had Company Sports and Swimming Sports. The Swedish girls were all very athletic, and we were rather put to shame when they demanded a race for the " English Girls "1 The three-legged and wheelbarrow races were very amusing, and everyone enjoyed it very much, especially as of the three companies, Poore was first with Edmund Rich and Moberly equal second, so nobody was last. The Swimming sports were very noisy and although only a few from each Company swam in the races nearly everyone was persuaded to jump or dive from at least the lowest board.

The reels and songs were performed to parents on the last day, and the other " Founders' Day " celebrations consisted of tennis coaching given by Miss Barkley and a play performed by the Upper V. The performances were all a great success, and everyone enjoyed the course as much as we did, in spite of tht tather ambiguous remark 18

written by one of the Swedish girls in the diary of the course, edited

by Miss Beaulah. Describing what was going to happen on Founders' Day, she ended up: " Then we shall say good-bye to each other and go to our homes. I think that will be very nice."

GAMES The weather in the Spring Term was disappointing and many matches were cancelled owing to the state of the pitches. It was encouraging to see the growing enthusiasm of the junior school in their efforts at company stickwork tests. Junior Company lacrosse was enjoyed by many.

The first team worked well for the All-England Schools Tournament, and a happy but exhausting day was spent at Merton.

We must once more congratulate Miss Woolliams for maintaining her position in the England team. We wish her success in the forthcoming match against the United States Touring team.

The Swimming Pool has been in continual use since the middle of May. Miss Barkley and Miss Woolliams have worked very hard indeed, enabling everyone to swim almost every day.

The school has become affiliated to the Royal Life Saving Society.

Most members of the Sixths and Upper Fifth Forms entered for the Bron2e Medallion and all were successful. Anna Le Fanu gained the Award of Merit.

Two new hard tennis courts have been made in the field known to most people as " Olivers' Field." When the grass courts are too wet it is now possible to have matches and team practices on the hard courts.

PLATO You gay little demon, woolly and wise, Blacker than thunder laden skies, Yet somehow brighter than flowers in spring, You heavenly, happy, impetuous thing.

When first we met, you were far from good, I know you'd have wickedly laughed if you could, You're just a bad dog, some people would say But the truth is, you've stolen my heart away.

A. WOOD. Aged 15.

THE RIVER Beneath the weeping willow trees, The Beech tree and the Larch, The river makes its winding path To meet the silent seas.

Beneath the leafy roof of leaves, The banks are decked with flowers.

The river goes its silent way Around the roots of trees.

Over the shimmering stones it flows, Over the Trout so brown, To seek its future in the seas With hooty gurgles goes.

RICHENDA WOODS. Aged 13.

SPRING DUSK The crocuses were closing their brightly coloured petals, The daffodils were sleeping among the stinging nettles, The little robin redbreasts were chirping with delight, But the naughty little blackbirds were having quite a fight; The sky was quietly turning a misty kind of grey, And to all the creatures on the earth it somehow seemed to say, " Now off to bed, you sleepy heads, until another day."

The sun had turned a brilliant red and 'hind the hill was sinking, The baby deer were rather late and by the pool were drinking, I watched them from my window, and then put out the light, And listened to the noises they made that wondrous night.

LONDON REUNION 1958 There will be a Tea Party from 3.30-5.30 p.m. on Saturday, January nth at the United Societies Club, 22 Harrington Gardens, London, S.W.y.

[There was a record attendance of nearly 100 at the last London Renuion, so we hope this will be a great success, too.]

LETTER FROM MISS GIBBINS St. Mary's School, Calne, Wilts.

July 27th, 1957 My dear Old Girls, First of all, very warm greetings and good wishes to you all. It has been a great delight to see so many of you here during the year and the London Reunion after Christmas was a great success, with nearly one hundred people present.

I should like to take this opportunity of thanking you all very much indeed for the lovely car rug which was given me at the London Reunion. I look forward very much to taking it up to Scotland with me this summer and to using it on many picnics and outings to come.

You will all have heard that Mile. Antoine retired at the end of this Term after 27 years. We are very sad indeed to lose her and shall miss her tremendously. She has set us a very high standard of scholarship in French which we will try hard to maintain. She has also been a great friend to us all and her gracious charm and delicate sense of humour have enriched our life. We wish her all happiness and blessings in the future and hope she will soon come to England again and pay us a long visit.

You will read of most of our doings elsewhere in the News Sheet.

We have again been invited to send a party to Sweden to run a boarding school course. Miss Barkley is very kindly taking the party for the second year and Mary Matthews, who is on the staff at the junior school, is going with her. It was a great success last year and we feel sure it will be again.

There are again some alterations in the School buildings. We have bought Curzon House, the house next to St. Cecilia's, and the two houses are being joined together. We believe that these two houses were originally one, so it is right that they should come together again. The new rooms will house the people who have been at St. Faith's, which will no longer be used as a School boarding-house and will mean an economy in administration. I think also, it will make a very pleasant house and we plan to reserve the charming walled garden 23

for the staff who, at present, have no private part of the garden for their own.

The new passage across Chapel Lawn is roof-high already, and work has started on moving Gabriel bathrooms and modernizing part of the back of School House. I think the Red Hall will be greatly improved and it will be wonderful to have no jugs and basins, or watercarrying, in School House.

I think our next step must be to build new laboratories and all money we get for the building fund will now go for that purpose. I know you will help us if you can.

The number of people taking Science for University entrance is increasing and we were very proud to gain what must, I think, be our first vacancy in Mathematics, at St. Hilda's College, Oxford, this year The School took the life-saving tests of the Royal Life Saving Society for the first time this year. One girl gained an Award of Merit and all the other competitors were awarded their Bronze Medals.

The examiner said that the standard was the highest of any school he had examined and we are very glad to have made such a good start.

It was a great joy and stimulus to have Dr. Jacques back again for the Music Festival. You will be sad, with us, to hear that are we losing Mr. Douglas Guest as Director of Music as he has been appointed Organist of Worcester Cathedral. We are most grateful for all he has done for the school's music.

In conclusion, you will realize, I am sure, how much the successes and activities recorded in this issue are due to the staff. We are fortunate indeed.

With love and good wishes to you all, Yours affectionately, ELIZABETH M. GIBBINS. P.S. Miss Alexander has written to tell me that she is not writing a letter for the News Sheet this year as she feels that she has no special news. I wrote to tell her that I knew that you would miss this feature of the News Sheet very much. Mrs. Hart and I called in to see her and her sister in Bournemouth in June and much enjoyed seeing them both.

CHAIRMAN'S LETTER 13th September, 1957.

Dear Old Girls, There seems little for me to write about this year and until 2 2nd July I really had nothing to record at all. But on that day I had an invitation to St. Mary's to be present at Mademoiselle Antoine's fare24

well party. I know you will be delighted to hear that upon your behalf I was able to give Mademoiselle a cheque for ÂŁ100, and also a red leather blotter for her to use. I gave this present with all our love and appreciation.

Gladys Beale was able to come and also Rosamond Strode. The latter sang most beautifully for us in the Hall after supper.

I hope many of you will be able to come to the January Reunion when plans will be made for the General Meeting which should take place in June 1958.

LETTER FROM MLLE. ANTOINE

Hot 19, Rue de la Corderie, Angouleme, Charente, France.

4th August, 1957.

Dear Old Girls, Thank you very much indeed for your present. It is a joy for me to write on sucb a beautiful blotter which, I presume, few of you have seen. I hope you will come and see me and the blotter: it is on show in my little flat. Of course, French will be spoken, but I promise you Freedom of Speech. The worst grammatical howlers, should any occur, will be allowed! " VIVE LA LIBERTE! " I had thought of using your handsome cheque to buy a piece of furniture; but the appalling heat which greeted me here made me utilitarian and, on my very first day, I decided to get a " FRIGIREX ".

I trust you will approve of my stewardship. Bless you all for the many luscious things which come out of that " ROI DES FRIGID AIRES! " I need not say how sad I was at leaving St. Mary's after so many happy years there, but " C'EST LA VIE. HAUT LES COEURS." I should have liked to write this in French, had I not been afraid of the misprints which do often occur in such cases. Thank you all for giving me so much pleasure.

GENEVIEVE ANTOINE
