St Mary's Calne News Sheet - 51 by St Mary's Calne

ST. MARY'S SCHOOL, CALNE NEWS SHEET NUMBER 51

OCTOBER 1966

EDITORIAL This edition of the News Sheet may be the last one in its present form, as owing to the G.P.O's new regulations it may next year be necessary to adopt a new shape, and with it will come a new cover and a " new look." So this year slight amendments have been made to make it, we hope, a more interesting magazine than ever. Although as yet only the builders' hut has arrived in the Car Park, everyone is eagerly awaiting the first signs of the new house which is to be built in time for the Autumn Term 1967. Although this will mean the loss of St. Bridget's which will be very sad for many people, it will be an exciting development to have a new house, and of course a great advantage to have all the out-houses in the school grounds. This year we were very glad to have the Old Girls for another Reunion. We always enjoy their visits and this time we particularly appreciated

their entertainment; as usual the weekend

passed all too quickly, certainly for us and, we hope, for them.

VICTORIA BRAIN.

C. Fewtrell, I. Compton, J. Pearson, J. Guillaume, S. Coles, F. Casswell, E. Gaminara, S. Courtauld, M. Salmon, E. Ham, L. Williams, R. Ham, J. Barlee, S. Tewson, S. Brodhurst, M. Thuillier, J. Wells. The music of the Autumn term was dominated by rehearsals for the Music Festival. Many hours were spent practising tongue twisters in Mozart's Papageno and two songs by Kodaly made an interesting change. The orchestra found working at Beethoven's Egmont overture most inspiring and gave a spirited performance with Schubert's Fifth Symphony making a pleasant contrast. We were so pleased to have Mr. Shore conducting us again. In the spring the Sixth forms again took part in a joint concert with Marlborough College. This year we performed Bach's B minor Mass in the College Chapel. In spite of misgivings it was more of a success than we had hoped. Everyone very much appreciated having the chance of becoming acquainted with this wonderful work, and many of us have become ardent Bach enthusiasts. At the very beginning of the Summer term, the fourth Chamber Music competition took place and some hard practising had to be put in after the holidays. Unfortunately there were not as many entries as in previous years. Dr. Robert Still, who first suggested the competition, judged once more. The winners were Elizabeth Ham, Rosemary Ham, and Sally Gaminara. in the String Section, and Melanie Boxford, Marion Salmon and Sarah Clarke, in the Wind Section. 10

After the competition music suffered a decline owing to impending exams, but as all exams were early this year there was more time to recover. There were some enterprising efforts in the musical field which included a chamber orchestra and a madrigal group. The guitar is becoming an increasingly popular instrument, and we hope that such musical activities will continue. We were all very interested and amused by Mr. Shore's talk on practising, and in hearing him play the viola. The orchestra especially enjoyed the recital, having heard Mr. Shore play a few tantalizing notes during Music Festival rehearsals. EMMA FERRAND and CLARE FEWTRELL.

DRAMA Friday December 10th and Monday, December 13th—Form Shakespeare Competition. Friday, March 25th—" Quality Street." Monday, March -28th—" Escape." Tuesday, March 29th—" The Housemaster." Saturday, July 2nd—Founders' Day. Play—" She Stoops to Conquer." With the three annual fixtures, Form Shakespeare, Company plays and the Founders' Day play, there have been no startling innovations in the drama world during the past year and, once again, inverted cloaks, strings of safety pins, tottering high heels and perilously balanced ringlets have appeared. Upper Fifth East won the Form Shakespeare competition with a well-produced and entertaining performance of scenes from " Twelfth Night " and the Lower VI's " Romeo and Juliet " came second, surprisingly evoking few convulsions from the audience. All the forms had original and well-designed programmes and costumes but, in some cases, both the choice of play and the difficult task of appropriate cutting had not been managed very satisfactorily. The choice of Company plays this year differed widely. There were two amusing productions of J. M. Barrie's " Quality Street " by Poore and Grosstete and Ian Hay's " Housemaster " by Osmund, while Edmund Rich and Moberly produced a very creditable performance of the difficult " Escape " by Goldsworthy. Miss Nesbitt once again miraculously managed to pull yet another Sixth Form through yet another Founders' Day play, this 11

year " She Stoops to Conquer." The cast particularly found that the temporary extension to the stage was a great help. Finally, not content with performing in their mother tongue, four members of the Sixth form entered a French drama competition at Bristol University during the Spring term. However, they discovered to their cost that the corner of a lecture room was not an ideal setting for their performance from Moliere's " Bourgeois Gentilhomme." CATHERINE THUILLIER and JANE ROSKILL.

LECTURES 1965 Oct. 1st—Miss Hook on "Nursing as a Career" Oct 22nd—Miss Coote on the Foreign Office. 1966 Jan. 28th—The Rev. Moore on probation work. Mar. 18th—Miss Coate for the Franco-British Society. July 4th—Miss Stannard on " The A.B.C. of Abstract Art " July 8th—Dr. King on Baffin Island. July llth—Mrs. Rivett on work with children.

We have had several lectures this year and as usual they have been interesting and most informative. Miss Cpote gave us a very good idea of the kind of career open to one in the Foreign Office and made many of us realise that learning languages, though a trying task, is a very worthwhile one This was emphasized when Miss Coate gave a lecture on Anglo-French relations which was mostly in French. We were extremely lucky to have Dr. King to talk to us on her survey of Baffin Island, and the transparencies with which she illustrated this lecture were exceptionally good and showed the extent of geographical change in these islands very clearly. Twelve members of the Upper Sixth were also able to attend a Commonwealth Conference at Salisbury where a series of very interesting lectures on Malaysia was given. ELEANOR MORTON.

SENIOR SOCIETIES The CLASSICAL SOCIETY, as always, has been very active during the past year. During our meetings we have had some very interesting lectures, and an amusing myth telling competition 12

which was won by Eleanor Morton and Virginia Bliss. At another unusual meeting we acted extracts from " Winnie Ille Pooh "! We have also had two most successful expeditions; one to see Euripides " Alcestis" at Bristol University, and the other to Dorchester Museum, Maiden Castle, and other Roman remains in the town. Neither of these expeditions would have been nearly so enjoyable if it had not been for all the hard work put in by Miss Wood in organising them. Everyone in the Society really appreciates all that Miss Wood has ever done for them and we will miss her very much next term. This year the PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY has made several additions and improvements to the Dark Room, and an effort has been made to show all the members how to use the equipment properly. In the Spring Term, Mr. Davis and Miss Bergman very kindly judged a competition which was entered by a large number of the Society members, but we were disappointed that more entries had not been developed and printed by the members themselves. The following were the winners of the competition:— Self-processed photographs: 1st—Jane Barlee; 2nd—Rosemary Bowen-Colthurst. Shop-processed photographs: 1st—Virginia Bliss; 2nd—Susan Agnew. Colour photographs: 1st—Marjorie Smith; 2nd—Rosemary McCreery. During the year the PLAY READING SOCIETY read the following plays:— " Uncle Vanya " by Anton Chekhov. " The Lovebirds " by Basil Thomas. " Hobson's Choice " by H. Brighouse. " The Potting Shed " by Grahame Greene. " The Heiress " (From " Washington Square ") Goetz. " The Winslow Boy " by Terence Rattigan. " The Reluctant Debutante " by William Douglas-Home. " The Proposal" by Anton Chekhov. At the end of the Christmas Term the Upper Sixth members acted Priestley's " Mystery at Greenfingers," a fast-moving detective-comedy, which was great fun to act, and, we hope, enjoyed by the school. In the Spring Term we had a recitation competition, which Miss Brain and Miss Nesbitt very kindly judged. Most entries were in a light vein, and showed great care in preparation and well-timed acting. In May we saw Wilde's " The Importance 13

of Being Earnest" at Salisbury. Although the performance was not outstanding, everyone enjoyed herself because the play itself is so witty and amusing. The SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY were very glad to welcome Mr. Crawford as its new President, at the beginning of the year. We have had a variety of meetings; Mr. Leacy gave us a very interesting talk on " Heat" and we have had competitions and shown several films. We have also been on an outing to the Swannery at Abbotsbury, which was very much enjoyed. The POLITICAL and CURRENT AFFAIRS SOCIETY has met only four times this year, owing to the difficulty of arranging meetings so that they do not clash with meetings of other Societies. In the Christmas term Mr. Crawford spoke on the situation in Kashmir, and Mr. McCreery gave a talk on Law. In the Spring term several members of the Society spoke in an election debate, and the motion " that this house would not support the Labour Party" was defeated by a large majority. At the end of the Summer term Mr. Tripp spoke on " Britain's Interests in the East." LORNA WILLIAMS.

JUNIOR SOCIETIES During the year the Junior Societies have been busy with competitions and quizzes. A new society has been formed this year for all animal-lovers. With the Society came a hamster which immediately produced ten babies! Unfortunately none survived. Both the BIRD and the ANIMAL SOCIETIES went on a very interesting outing to Slimbridge Wild Fowl Trust, in the Summer term. After an enjoyable tour round the Trust, Mrs. Hooper very kindly provided tea for approximately seventy people, and also showed us her labrador puppies which were much admired. The MUSICAL SOCIETY very much enjoyed a visit to the Bentley Grammar School where they saw a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's " Gondoliers." The GYM CLUB has increased in number considerably this year, and use of the apparatus has been greatly appreciated. We wish to thank all the Staff who have helped to organize outings and judge competitions. PENELOPE HANN and ELIZABETH LLOYD. 14

THE DINTON CONFERENCE In March, four of the Upper Sixth went to Phillip's House, Dinton, for a small two-day Sixth formers' Conference. The official title of the Conference was " What has the artist, writer and scientist to say about life? " which was a good starting point for discussions about life in general. Because the Conference was open to people of all religions and religious denominations, there were very naturally many different, and often conflicting, viewpoints, which made the talks most interesting. As well as the discussions being rewarding, we were lucky enough to stay in a beautiful Georgian house surrounded by parkland. At the end of the two days, the only complaint anyone had was that it was not nearly long enough. MELANIE BOXFORD, ELEANOR MORTON, CATHERINE RICHARDSON and SUSAN TYNDALL.

OUTSIDE SCHOOL On the suggestion that we should try to give some help to people in and around Calne, two ideas were brought up. First, that we could visit old people, and second, that we could offer some help at the Cheshire Home near here. The first idea soon materialised. It was found that there were quite a number of old people who were wanting visitors, and many of us in the Sixth form are now seeing them about once a week, having a chat, doing shopping for them, and I believe being spoilt with the occasional cake. The other idea, that of the Cheshire Home, could never have materialised had it not been for Mrs. Wilson, who kindly offered to take some of us there one Sunday at the beginning of the Autumn term. This visit was obviously appreciated by the people there, so four people from the Sixth forms have gone every Sunday afternoon ever since then. Since they are rather short staffed at this Cheshire Home, there is usually plenty for us to do; writing letters for the patients, giving them tea, and pushing them round the garden. Indeed, they now rely so much on our coming every Sunday that they gave up odd jobs during the week for us to do. Nearing Christmas, we heard that they did not have many carols, so we decided to get together some for them. However, this soon turned into a concert, the most .popular item of which 15

was " The Pub with no Beer " sung by Sue Ross, accompanying herself on her guitar. In actual fact, the programme ranged from " Clementine " to Chopin's " Fantasie Impromptu." This term, we held a competition and raised £44 14s. 9d. in aid of the Home. This competition involved amongst other things, the making up of a limerick, and the judges had a most amusing time with some really quite ingenious entries. Rosemary Terry, the winner, received twelve Churchill crowns. With some of the money we raised, we arranged for all the people in the Home to come to the school since they especially asked for two things— " to see the Headmistress," and to watch us swimming. Luckily, it was not too cold a day, so they were able to see some swimming, and they also saw round the school and were given another very mixed entertainment. The latter included a rather doubtful rendering of " The Toy Symphony " which was enjoyed by the players, but we are not so sure about the audience. However, we think that what they appreciate most is that we keep going to visit them every week, so we do hope that the following Sixth forms will really keep this on. MELANIE BOXFORD.

VERSAILLES A notre arrivee a Versailles, apres un long un fatigant voyage, on nous installa dans les pavilions de PInternat du Lycee La Bruyere. Nous etions 250 jeunes filles. Le lycee ou nous assistions aux cours et conferences, etait a un quart d'heure de ITnternat. Un grand nombre d'etudiantes etaient dans leur deuxieme annee; nous finissions la premiere. On nous divisa en groupes sous la direction de jeunes professeurs de la Sorbonne. On travaillait seulement le matin, une heure de phonetique, une heure de conversation au cours de laquelle nous discutions avec nos professeurs et nos camarades les questions a 1'ordre du jour. L'apres-midi nous faisions des excursions—nous avons visite le Chateau, eblouissant de beaute, la Malmaison, le Louvre, la Cite et naturellement nous sommes montees a la Tour Eiffel. On nous a eminences deux fois a la Comedie Franchise ou nous avons vu, jouer brillamment " Tartuffe " et " Le Cid." Le jour de Paques nous sommes allees a Chartres; nous avons assiste a la grand'messe et d'avoir entendu les grandes orgues et les chants du choeur, restera pour nous un souvenir inoubliable. Deux fois nous avons eu la permission d'aller seules a Paris et les heures que nous y avons passees ont ete certainement le meilleures de toutes. Puis, les dix jours termines nous avons du rentrer, enchantees de notre sejour mais aussi tres heureuses d'apercevoir de nouveau les cotes de 1'Angleterre. JOSEPHINE GUILLAUME and SHAN TRIPP. 16

SEMAINE CULTURELLE A PARIS Pendant les vacances de Paques toutes les trois nous sommes allees a Paris pour y suivre le treizieme cours culturel. Deux d'entre nous etions logees au Foyer des Etudiants mais il a fallu que 1'autre loge au Lycee Louis-le-Grand. Le matin, au lycee, nous assistions aux cours pratiques, et a la Sorbonne a des conferences tres interessantes sur la litterature du seizeme au vingtieme siecle. L'apres-midi nous partions a la decouverte de Paris. On nous emmena a la Gomedie Franchise voir " Tartuffe," au theatre National Populaire voir " Les Troyennes," et aussi a Versailles et a Ghartres. Nous n'avons pas eu Poccasion de beaucoup parler franc.ais, car il y avail a peu pres 550 autres jeunes Anglais dans le groupe, mais apres tout, nous etions aussi entourees de Frangais et nous avons appris a ecouter et a comprendre. Surtout nous avons maintenant le grand desir de revenir dans cette belle ville a 1'ambiance cosmopolite et artistique. VIRGINIA BLISS, CHARLOTTE LINDLEY and MARY UNWIN.

THE LIBRARY Both the Bodington and Coulter libraries have been much used thoughout the year; and it has been satisfactory to see an increase in the number of younger members of the school competently finding their way about the shelves. This year, 175 new books have been added, some of which have been purchased from the library fund, while others have been given by various friends and Old Girls, all of whom we thank very much indeed, for so kindly, and acceptably, remembering us. We are also delighted to find that the Library Fund has been augmented, and are most grateful to the Governors who have made the extra grant. In conclusion, we thank all those in the upper forms who have helped so efficiently in the general running of the library, and also in the necessary repairing of books. S.B.

THE FIREWORK PARTY Why is it that the trivial, childish things Remain embedded in the memory, While those of weightier matters slide into The deeper corners of the secret mind? We had a firework party once; and I, Who cannot have been more than five years old, Remember not the glorious golden flames, Which must indeed have been; but I Remember, with a vividness that now Seems strange, one rocket, that although it tried, Rose not to burst into a hundred stars, But fell. Now why should I remember this. When I forget a thousand other things? For still can I, with clarity, recall The firework which failed to reach the sky. SARAH MAITLAND.

THE RIVER Past bridges, people, banks and trees, Its surface ruffled by a breeze; Past tiny, sheltered, pebbly beaches And on to shallow, gravelly reaches; Then to dark, mysterious deepsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; There the silver salmon sleepsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chattering over stock and stone, Laughing always, all alone; Murmuring secrets, half unheard To the swooping fisher-bird. Churning, 'twixt restricting walls, Cascading into water-falls; Flying spray and wind-blown foam Curving upwards like a dome, Shot with dazzling rays of light, Glistening like a star in flight; Flashing, twinkling in the sun, Tossing, tumbling, swirling fun, Wild, abandoned, leaping free, Rushing onwards to the sea. AMIEL OSMASTON. 20

THE FATES Three old women knitting time; Weaving futures, with finest thread, With gnarled and knotted hand, and Occasional nods of the head. Lined faces around deep-sunk eyes, All-seeing, yet faded, near blindâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; A curious pale blue, age's Colour, cold as their aged mind. Their mind, one united mind, Like an immense iceberg, is cold. Untouched by the warmdn of life, Not living, only old, just old. What hands, what cold minds to hold The warm fates of impassioned man, To sit there, to spin and weave His loves and hates, and short life's span! PENELOPE HOLLAND.

TIME Oh, hurry, feet! Make faster pace. Beat out this pounding In my heart. Don't stop me, Anyone. Don't stare, if I should Break into a run. And people look, And mutter low, Perambulating much too slow. They've had their day: This one is mine. And I'll enjoy it, Rain or shine. ANNA KAY. 21

TO FAWNS WHO DISOBEY Through the peat-bog, down the course Of the trout-haunted stream, From the heather of the moor, Where late-rutting stags bell fierce, The questing red deer hind Winds the unfamiliar combe, Worry in her liquid eye, And caution in her wary step, Searching for her fawn, In the gathering winter gloom. Round her slender hoofs Swigs the impetuous, merry water, " You know me, the friend Of the wild red deer." But perhaps, she will find her fawn In the pool, beneath the falls, Where the stream becomes a river In its race to the sea; Will find him, her still fawnâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ever-sleeping, and unheeding To her calls.

There is no competitive examination but candidates must reach Common Entrance standard. Would those who would like to apply please get into touch with Miss Gibbins not later than 5th December this year? The Trustees will make the award by the end of January 1967. Contributions to the Bursary Fund are still urgently needed. Donations should be sent to your Group Secretaries or to me.

LETTER FROM MISS GIBBINS St. Mary's School, Calne, Wilts. July 19th, 1966 My dear Old Girls, First of allâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;very good wishes to you all. There are so many of you abroad at the present time that we really ought to have a map of the world with all your names on it! We have been particularly proud this year to have three graduates doing V.S.O.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Anne Garter in Nigeria, and Susan Pearson and Elizabeth Wrangham in Ghana. Priscilla Connolly went out to India to teach directly she heard she had got into Cambridge. Alethea Martineau is teaching in India too. You will be glad to hear that we really are starting the new boarding house. This will take all the girls who at present sleep in St. Bridget's and in Plumer Wing, and we ought to get into it by September 1967. The site has been changed and the house will be parallel to the Plumer Wing and will be very convenient. Directly this house is built, we shall do some other useful alterations. The Bodington Library will move to Christie, the very large dormitory in Plumer Wing. We hope to have eight studybedrooms in Willink. The waiting room will then be thrown into the office, which is at present much too small and dark, and the Bodington Library will become a dining room and waiting room for me, with a small kitchen attached. You will realise that all these improvements are proof of tremendous and cheering confidence on the part of the Governors, and we are very grateful indeed to them for letting us go ahead in this way. As you will see from the first section of the News Sheet, this has been a year of considerable activity. We were very proud to have six Oxbridge vacancies, and celebrated this by adding a half-holiday to the summer half-term. We were very glad to have such a representative gathering at the Reunion in the summer, and I think everyone enjoyed it. There have been some sadnesses this year. Many of you will have felt the death of Sir Ernest Cowers as a personal loss. He was such a magnificent, brilliant person, and such a kind friend to St. Mary's for many years. It was very sad that Miss Stallard should die so soon after her retirement, but she was very ill and I am sure no-one could have wished her to suffer longer. We 25

also lost a very dear friend at the end of the Spring term. Jenny Rivers, who looked after Miss Matthews before she looked after me, just did not come up to work one morning, and we found that she had died, obviously quite peacefully, in her sleep. She never wanted to retire, and everyone felt sure that this is just how she would have liked to pass over. Miss Jackson's retirement after 33 years is a landmark. We are most grateful to her for all she has done for the school, and wish her all happiness in her flat at Seaton. We are very sad, too, this term to lose Miss Wood, who has had to find a post nearer her parents' home. She will be much missed, not only for her work in Classics and for the Classical Society, but for many kindnesses to us all. I must stop, though there is much more I could say! But I end as I began, with our very good wishes to you, and love. Yours ever, ELIZABETH M. GIBBINS.

P.S. Since this letter was written, we have had the sad news of Ruth Baker's death. There is a special tribute to her elsewhere in the News Sheet. I did not hear of Miss Damant's death until I came back at the beginning of term, so it is not possible to write our appreciation of her in detail. I am so glad that I met her when she came to a Reunion after I came to St. Mary's. She has always kept in touch through letters and many of you, I know, remember her with much affection and gratitude. 17th September 1966.

E.M.G.

LETTER FROM O.G.A. CHAIRMAN 7 Bradenham Beeches, Naphill, High Wycombe, Bucks. July, 1966 My dear Old Girls, As you will read elsewhere we had a very happy Reunion at Calne this Summer. We really let our hair down, and I like to think that everyone from sixteen to sixty (or was it seventy?) enjoyed herself. We are, as always, most grateful to Miss Gibbins, the Staff and the Girls for making us so very welcome. It gave me much pleasure at the Reunion to present to Miss Jackson, on your behalf, a dining room table and chairs for her

new flat at Seaton. It will be strange not to find Jackie behind the teapots when next we visit the School but we wish her every possible joy in her well earned retirement. Like all things, I fear the cost of the London Reunion will have to be slightly increased this year. We have to change our venue and the cost of hiring a suitable room is unfortunately greater than at the Forum Club. I hope you will understand and show us your support by coming in even greater numbers than last year. Several Old Girls have written this year to say what pleasure they find in browsing through the News of Old Girls in the News Sheet. Perhaps you do not realise that this section is compiled by Miss Thouless from the information received on the post cards which you are asked to return to the School in March. We are more than grateful to Miss Thouless for this labour of love; please keep supplying us with your news and let your Group Secretary know if you change your permanent address. Yours ever, SUSAN ROTHERHAM.

Flat 7, Seaforth Lodge, Seaton, Devon. July, 1966 My dear Old Girls, How can I begin to thank you all for your wonderful presents and kindness to me! I am delighted with the beautiful table and chairs which are greatly admired by everyone who sees them and which look lovely against the off-white walls of my flat. I wish you could all come to see them for yourselves and if any of you happen to visit this part of Devon do come and look me up. With your very generous cheque I mean to buy a 'frig, as I can see it is not going to be so easy to cater for one after threehundred! Hoping to see many of you at the next Reunion at St. Mary's in 1968. With love and again my very grateful thanks, JACKIE. 27

THE OLD GIRLS' REUNION, 1966

The Old Girls' Reunion this year was from Friday, 17th June, to Monday, 20th. Old Girls and Staff began to arrive on Friday evening, and gradually assembled, fifty strong, throughout the weekend, varying in ages from eighty to eighteen. Perhaps some of us came with slight trepidation. What would it be like after so many years? The sound of a bell clanging made us jump, what is that for? Where do we go ? Shall we be late ? The habits of childhood return swiftly, and maybe we all became rather childish again. But we were soon put at ease with such a welcome from Xliss Gibbins, the Staff and girls, none of whom could have been kinder nor more hospitable, and we were soon made to feel that we are still a part of the School, and needed by it. It is quite an upheaval for them all, beds to be made, sleeping accommodation to be arranged according to age groups and compatibility, entertainments organised, delicious meals provided, and we are so grateful for all the trouble that was taken for us in the midst of the packed routine of a term. Saturday was a very busy day, the morning taken up with O.G.A. committee and General meetings, the afternoon by a hilarious tennis match, in which mothers and daughters, old and present girls challenged each other with varying success, won, as predicted, by the Richardsons. The entertainment in the evening consisted of some delightful piano and 'cello recitals by present girls, a valiant piano duet by two mothers, and a slightly underrehearsed slapstick by the Old Girls, which culminated in farewell presentations to Miss Jackson from the Governors, Staff, Old and present girls. After 32 years of keeping the school well fed, Miss Jackson deserves one of the happiest retirements one could wish her, and we hope she will find it in her new home in Devon. The climax of the week-end was chapel on Sunday afternoon in the Hall. Miss Gibbins text: " Lord I believe; help Thou mine unbelief," summed up the spirit of the whole weekend, and what it meant to us. She had asked us earlier on why we came back, and we thought of our reasonsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to see our daughters, those who have them, to support the school, to bring back memories and to renew old friendships. But living with young people for a few days gave us more than all these. It made us realise their goodness and hopefulness, and renewed our own perhaps wavering belief that the world may one day become, through them, a better place. 28

THE UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA The University of East Anglia first accepted students in October 1963, which means that the first students to graduate finished their courses last June. The University is rapidly expanding, both in the amount of people there and also in the amount of buildings it has. By next October, some of the buildings on the permanent site will be completed. The first buildings on the permanent site to be completed are the chemistry laboratories—which should be finished in July— and by next October some of the residences on the permanent site are to be completed. The permanent site is situated on Earlham golf course, near the administrative centre at Earlham Hall, on the west of Norwich, and will eventually be completely residential. As the permanent buildings are completed and each department moves to the permanent site the remaining ones expand within the temporary " village " site. This " village," which will be used for several years, has been made so that the life of the University could begin before any permanent buildings were built. It is also on the west of Norwich and is the place where the life of the University takes place. The University is divided into schools, for academic work. Within each school the first year course is fairly general, whereas the second and third years are more specialised. In the school of maths and physics we study an equal amount of maths and physics during our first year and then we decide in which subject we wish to continue our studies, although we still have some courses in the subject we have not chosen. Academically the University is one of the first in England to use the American system of allocating course marks. These course marks, which are assessed from the work done throughout the course, go towards deciding the grade of your degree. Apart from the usual tutorials and lectures we also have seminars. In tutorials the work which has previously been marked is discussed, any queries arising from lectures are also discussed, whereas in seminars which are held in larger groups more general discussion takes place particularly in the schools of English or social studies. Apart from the academic life of the University there are many other things which can be done. The Students' Union is an active body and through it a great many societies have been formed— these societies cover a wide range of topics, from water-ski-ing to politics—all of which seem to be very active. Norwich also offers several different entertainments. There are often very good concerts in the city and there is a theatre which has a good variety of plays throughout the year. There is also a ten-pin bowling alley and a jazz 29

cellar, which, I am told, is very good, apart from the usual cinemas. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year there and hope that there will be someone else, apart from Jane Miller and myself, from Galne there before too long. ELIZABETH FROST.

SUSAN TAYLOR Girls often have " best friends " at school. Susan Taylor was the friend with whom I spent some of the happiest times of my school days. We walked miles together and had many adventures watching birds, listening to the dawn chorus with Ludwig Koch, fishing in the canal, impaling butterflies and moths for the Natural History Society's collection. Susan's enthusiasm for natural history was infectious, she was exacting and meticulous, but under her leadership the Natural History Society thrived as the records of those years will show. Sadly we did not keep in touch after leaving St. Mary's although we had stayed with each other during school holidays; it was a shock to read of her tragic death in a motor accident while on an ornithological expedition in Sweden. To her memory I should like to pay this tribute for the many happy hours spent in her company, hours that I shall always treasure. JUDITH M. BROOKE.

R.I.P. Everyone who knew her will have been very sad to hear of Ruth Baker's death. She was a tremendously loyal and good friend of St. Mary's. It was sad not to have her at the 1966 Reunion. We missed her very much and shall always remember her with affection and gratitude. Susan Rotherham has written the following tribute to herâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; " Ruth Baker died peacefully at Weston-super-Mare on July 25th, 1966, and we are thankful that she did not have to suffer her serious illness for very long. Ruth was at St. Mary's from 1906 until 1913, but her interest in the school and Old Girls' Association was, throughout the years, always live and vital. As secretary of Group I she kept the link between her members and the Association and never missed a Reunion or committee meeting if she could help it. 30

As Treasurer of the O.G.A. for many years she always gave wise counsel and firm encouragement. In 1962 Ruth was invited to become a Vice-President of the O.G.A. Ruth was a loyal and faithful friend of St. Mary's and we shall sadly miss her gentle wisdom." I have also had a most valuable note of appreciation from Ivy Martin, the first secretary of the O.G.A., and Chairman of the Old Girls when I became Headmistress. She recalls how, until the O.G.A. was founded, Old Girls were kept together " solely by subscriptions to the U.G.S., plus letters from Miss Matthews and invitations to come and stay at the school." But Miss Matthews had been Headmistress for twelve years and it was becoming beyond even her incredible powers of letter-writing to keep in touch with " her own " Old Girls, let alone those who had left before she came in 1915. So she called a reunion and we planned a proper O.G.A. with Group Secretaries, a committee, and regular reunions. It was at this stage that Ruth came to us as treasurer. What a help! She had considerable bank experience—she knew about securities and investments and interest—and what she didn't know about the mysteries of finance, she could ask her bank colleagues. But, remember, we had hardly any money. In fact, practically none of us, individually, had any money. We paid our life subscriptions by instalments, we paid for the News Sheet each year. Ruth husbanded and invested our small resources. In spite of distance she attended every Reunion, at Calne and in London, and we could utterly rely on her being there full of sound, carefully thought-out advice. And now we learn of her death, we are thankful to Ruth Baker for our steadily, solidly-built foundations, built brick by brick over the long years—to Ruth who, with her sisters,, went to school—to that " little St. Mary's, on the Green." E.M.G.
