ST. MARY'S SCHOOL, CALNE NEWS SHEET NUMBER 53
OCTOBER 1968
EDITORIAL It seemed hardly possible that a building could grow so rapidly in eight weeks, but when we came back in the Auiumn Term, we found the New House almost completely finished. The number of people who are to sleep there each term proves its great success, and we are very lucky to have such an imaginative architect as Mr. Lloyd. In the same short space of time, the Plumer Wing dormitories were transformed into the new Bodington Library and eight study bedrooms. Apart from providing more space for books and reference work, the attractive colour-scheme and design of the library makes it an extremely pleasant room. We all enjoyed seeing the old girls at the reunion we held during the Summer Term, and the alterations in the usual programme were generally thought to be more successful. Together with the traditional Tennis Tournament, the Old Girls had arranged a " nearly new " sale, which triumphed by raising a handsome sum for the Chapel fund. This year we have abolished the prefect system and now find that with the entire Upper VI taking over all responsibilities, the various duties are more evenly distributed. Several new societies and activities have been started, including brass-rubbing and craft lessons, which have been enthusiastically welcomed by everyone. An entertaining magazine called Omega, edited by form representatives, provides both humorous and serious articles covering a wide range of subjects. Altogether, this year there have been many innovations in the school, in its running, activities and surroundings. SALLY GAMINARA.
