ST. MARY'S SCHOOL, CALNE NEWS SHEET NUMBER 54

OCTOBER 1969

EDITORIAL This year a Civic Society has been formed in Galne, providing great interest for us here at school. By attending meetings, we have been able to learn more about the town's activities and problems.

One of the topics which has caused concern and been widely discussed is the new route which the A4 has taken through Galne. As a school we have benefited, as much of the heavy traffic no longer passes St. Cecilia's House, but has been diverted through the centre of the town.

The dining-room has taken on a new look, too. Its appearance is brighter and more cheerful and the room is now a very pleasant one.

The colour scheme is white, salmon pink, and orange, the wallpaper and curtains being of a bold floral design.

The highlight of the summer term was, of course, the Indian Market, to which many people very generously donated. This and the large number of visitors enabled us to raise ÂŁ908 7s. 4d. for an Indian leper village.

Something to look forward to now is the Ball in November which is being held in London to raise money for the Chapel Fund, and we hope that as many old girls and senior members of the school as possible will be able to come.

JANE INGRAM

R.I.P. Genevieve Antoine Very many people connected with St. Mary's will be very sad to hear that Mademoiselle Antoine died in December 1968 in hospital at Angouleme.

She was a person of complete integrity with tremendous standards in every way. She had real genius as a teacher and many generations will look back with gratitude to her great patience over their accents and the innumerable pages of French corrections which did so much to give them facility in the French language !

She did so many other things as well. Particularly, she went regularly to help in the R.A.F. canteen at Yatesbury. She was greatly loved there as elsewhere.

I shall always remember seeing her off at Chippenham station when she retired. Her luggage was immaculate. Typically she had had a dress rehearsal and the only item not packed was one small, very neat parcel which she was going to deliver en route.

For several years after her retirement, she was able to stay with friends in England and it was a great joy to see her.

Her last few years were not easy. She had to contend with cataract and with a progressive disease. Her letters were always interesting and unselfish, and she never failed to meet a situation with courage and " le mot juste."

I personally owe her a great debt of friendship, of much wise and considered advice, and outstanding control and wit.

God bless her from us all.

E.M.G. Dr. Jacques St. Mary's owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to Dr. Jacques.

It was very sad to hear of his death on June 2nd, 1969.

His visits for so many years for the Music Festival in November were a great stimulus and great encouragement. He set very high standards and was a most kind and generous friend. Many girls after leaving school had the privilege of continuing to learn from him as members of the Bach Choir.

It was a great loss to the school when ill-health put an end to Dr. Jacques' visits to Calne, and we were very sorry that he had to endure so much illness and discomfort.

He was a great person we are very proud to have known.

E.M.G.

THE GOVERNORS — JULY, 1969 Sir Edmund Compton, K.C.B., K.B.E. (Chairman) Lady Brooke of Gumnor, D.B.E. J. A. Keevil, Esq. Miss G. Kirby, M.V.O. S. Lloyd, Esq. (Chairman, Finance Committee) A. A. Martineau, Esq. The Reverend Canon W. D. O'Hanlon W. A. Prideaux, Esq. The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Salisbury H. H. West, Esq. Mrs. G. A. Wilkinson Every year we have increasing cause to be grateful to our Governorss and are glad to have this opportunity of saying so.

Sir Edmund Gompton, our Chairman, is so busy, with so many important affairs in hand, yet he is unfailingly kind and punctilious over all our affairs and has done us an additional honour by consenting to be Chairman of the O.G.A. Ball Committee.

We congratulate Gwen Kirby on her M.V.O. She has done tremendous work at Great Ormond Street.

We were very sorry during the year to hear that Mrs. Walter Hamilton felt she must give up membership of our Governing Body.

We realise, however, that it was very difficult for her to get to meetings after her move to Cambridge.

MUSIC 1968 November 16th 1969 March 13th March 16th March 20th

May 15th June 16th June 18th

Music Festival.

Flute Recital, with Clarissa Melville.

St. Matthew Passion.

Chamber Music Competition.

Concert by Bournemouth Sinfonietta at the Fynamore School.

Concert窶認rederick Grinke and Joseph Weingarten.

Bath Festival: Musical Kitchen.

Bath Festival: Damnation de Faust.

Music in the autumn term was marked by the Music Festival.

Much hard work was put into learning the main work, Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols, though Miss Warner had her patience tried in pulling up the standard of the orchestra to meet the high requirements always wanted by Mr. Shore, who kindly came yet again to be our enthusiastic conductor. Nevertheless, it was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

In the Spring Term we were lucky enough to have two very enjoyable concerts: Clarissa Melville, an Old Girl, with her flute, and a lively operatic production of Cosi Fan Tutti.

Chamber music was enthusiastically supported by many people, but it was a pity that more seniors did not take part; the overall standard, however, was good.

The climax of this musical year was surely the singing of Bach's St. Matthew Passion with Marlborough College Choral Society and the choirs of Downe House and St. Mary's, Wantage. It was an honour to take part in such a truly great work under the inspired direction of Graham Smallbone, and one came away with a far greater appreciation of the meaning of music.

This summer Frederick Grinke with Joseph Weingarten gave a marvellous recital for violin and piano. We were delighted to be able to welcome such a celebrated musician again.

Miss Nesbitt took two large parties to the Bath Festival: the first concert was a Musical Kitchen given by James Blades, one of the most famous percussion players (timpanist in particular) in the world. The other was Berlioz' Damnation de Faust with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Colin Davis, a performance which was truly impressive.

ANNE GATTERALL AND MARY WOODS 11

DRAMA December 12th and 13th Form Shakespeare Competition 1968.

The Happy Prisoner by Monica Dickens.

March 27th March 28th Charley's Aunt by Brandon Thomas.

March 29th Toad of Toad Hall by A. A. Milne.

On the whole the Form Shakespeare Competition reached quite a high standard this year, and it was obvious that a great deal of work had been put into it. The winners of the cup were Upper IVth West with The Tempest, and Lower Vth West with Macbeth. In Macbeth they produced some very original ideas, giving a highly dramatic performance. The storm scene in The Tempest was very effective in its well-organised confusion ! Upper IVth East, who performed Much Ado About Nothing managed to interpret a difficult play successfully and secured second place. The other plays were sometimes spoiled by bad diction and lighting, but acting and costumes were quite impressive.

Everybody put a great deal of effort into the Company Plays and all agreed that the work was rewarding. Toad of Toad Hall was a charming production and the stage effects were most imaginative.

The Happy Prisoner, a light comedy, was very enjoyable, and Charley's Aunt also got a great many laughs with its slapstick humour.

LUCILLA NAPIER AND MARY ROLT

CONFERENCES AND LECTURES 1968 Nov. 2nd Sally Duveen on Pueblo Indians. Talk and slides.

Nov. 4th Sister Patricia on Drug Addiction.

Nov. 8th-9th Vlth Form Retreat at Bristol.

Nov. 10th Dinton Youth Conference.

1969 Feb. llth Mrs. Gaminara on Family Planning.

Mar. 3rd Mary Buchanan on Israel—Towards Understanding.

Talk and slides.

Mar. 10th Upper Vlth Form. Religious Conference at Trowbridge High School.

Mar. llth Vlth Form Commonwealth Conference.

We have much enjoyed all the lectures given during the year.

The talk on the Pueblo Indians appealed particularly because of Sally Duveen's actual experience of life among them; and the lecture on present-day Israel was also the outcome of travel and firsthand experience in that country by Mary Buchanan. Mrs. Gaminara's " Family Planning " was of great interest to the senior forms, as was also Sister Patricia's account of her work.

12

Sister Patricia's remarkably informative and absorbing talk on drug addiction, its victims and their treatment made a deep impression on her listeners. She spoke in such a way of her own work among addicts, and of the great need for patient understanding in any effort to rehabilitate them, that our own somewhat hazy notions on the subject were replaced by accurate facts, which, we felt, might be of value to us in future years.

Earlier this year, many of the Vlth Form were able to go on a Retreat conducted by the Reverend G. E. Griffiths, at a convent in Bristol. This was an interesting and helpful experience and it is hoped that it may be repeated next year.

In the Autumn Term, three members of the Upper Vlth were fortunate enough to go to the Sixth Form Conference held at Dinton. The theme of the Conference was "A politician can only plan wisely, if he remembers that every man is selfish." Although this statement gave us a start, by the end, every conceivable topic had come under discussion. It was particularly interesting to talk on so many different subjects with such a cross-section of the community.

In the spring term, members of the Upper Vlth attended a Religious Conference held at Trowbridge High School. The speaker, the Reverend Percv Smith from Pilsdon, Dorset, encouraged many interesting group discussions on the subject " Is God relevant?"

Some of the Upper Vlth also went to a Commonwealth Conference at Swindon. There was a fascinating lecture on the possible role of the Commonwealth in the world of today, after which small groups debated the various questions that had been raised.

KAREN WALLACE

SENIOR

SOCIETIES

Classical Society. This year, despite the normal school work and examinations, we have been able to have many interesting meetings and outings, all of which have been enthusiastically attended.

In the autumn term Mrs. Heywood very kindly gave us a lecture, accompanied by some very good photographs, on Mycenae, where she had been excavating during the summer. It was a most entertaining and enjoyable evening appreciated by all, and showed how one can get on an archaeological dig by perseverance and enthusiasm.

In the spring term we went to Oxford where we spent a very interesting and varied day, looking round the Ashmolean museum in the morning and going to a student production of Sophocles' Antigone in the afternoon. The play was interpreted in a very topical way and gave much scope for thought. Later on in the term, 13

with much apprehension, I gave a lecture illustrated by slides taken by rny father, on the recently excavated Roman palace at Fishbourne, near Chichester—a very terrifying ordeal!

This term we had a very fascinating expedition to Wales, incorporating a visit to Cardiff museum which contained an interesting section on the Roman occupation of Britain, as well as a visit to the Roman ruins at Caerleon and the Wall at Gaerwent.

Again I would like to thank Mr. Murray and Miss Hannay for all their support and enthusiasm and hope that the Society continues to be as active and as well attended as it has been this year.

BELINDA HICK

The Play Reading Society. This year our plays have been varied but we have not read as many as usual largely due to The Forsyte Saga which drew crowds on Sunday evenings. The plays we read were Flecker's Hassan which proved rather ambitious, The White Sheep of the Family, an enjoyable comedy. In the spring term we read Berkeley Square, an unusual mixture of past and present, also Major Barbara which was well read, and finally the Welsh play of The Corn is Green which was both amusing and interesting.

In June we thoroughly enjoyed an outing to the Theatre Royal, Bath, to see Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekov. The cast, which included Nyree Dawn Porter, gave an absorbing performance which most people found both moving and meaningful.

ELIZABETH LLOYD, SUSAN BLADES AND PRUE PHILLIMORE

Scientific Society. Several meetings of interest have been held this year. Mr. Leecy came and gave us a lively and well demonstrated talk on light effects and fluorescence. In the autumn various films were seen, including an interesting one on the malaria disease.

We have been very lucky and have been able to go on two interesting expeditions.

The first was to Fry's chocolate factory, which members had looked forward to seeing for years. This was enjoyed by everyone, especially when free chocolate was given away at the end !

In the summer the Society went to the caverns at Wookey Hole, and to Titania's Palace, which is a miniature house. This was an unusual outing for the Society, but was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, especially as many members had not seen Wookey before.

We hope that the Society will continue to be as large and flourishing next year. We would like to thank Mr. Crawford for all his help, co-operation, and tremendous enthusiasm. It is very sad 14

to say goodbye to Miss Taylor, who has continuously given great encouragement to all the scientists.

ANNA THORNTON AND MARY WOODS

Stamp Club. The Stamp Club again would like to thank Miss Gibbins for some very interesting stamps, which have been distributed to keen collectors, and for allowing us to go to Calne Post Office where, by courtesy of the Head Postmaster, we saw the Post Office at work. Activity has been curtailed by examination work, but we have had a quiz and a designing competition. We hope the Club will manage a fuller programme next term.

ALISON BROWN

Political and Current Affairs Society. My predecessor, in her account of this Society's activities during her year of office, expressed regret that the number of meetings had been so small. We made an earnest endeavour to hold more meetings, but it is not always easy to achieve this aim, for the object of our Society is to invite speakers to address us on different topics, and such people are always very busy.

During the Christmas term, Mr. Kingsley Tubbs (a chartered accountant) gave a lecture on " Devaluation and why it will work " which was interesting, informative, and afforded our members a better understanding of a complex subject.

In the spring term we were honoured by a visit from Sir Edmund Compton, who gave us a most interesting description of his work, and of the problems involved, and illustrated his talk with some amusing examples of such problems. This was an open meeting.

Our third guest, Mr. Paul Buckeridge, addressed us on the aims of the recently formed Calne Civic Society. Our members found this talk of particular interest because Mr. Buckeridge dealt with the type of active co-operation, within the community, in which we can all participate.

OLIVIA HARDIE

Photographic Society. Again this year there has been no shortage of members in this society, but the number of active photographers appears to remain somewhat lower than was hoped. In fact, surprising as it is for this school, the majority of those who have visited the darkroom most frequently during the year seem to be those involved in taking public exams.

Earlier this year we were able to have a fairly successful competition for photographs printed in the school darkroom, which was won by Clare Lowe. We should like to thank Mr. Davis and Miss Stedmond very much for judging it so well. However, it is hoped 15

that in future more of the " braver " members and even the " notso-brave " will develop their own films in the darkroom—after all, it is always cheaper to develop your own !

KAREN

WALLACE

JUNIOR SOCIETIES Musical Society. Members of the Junior Musical Society went to see Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore at the Bentley Grammar School early in the summer term. It was very much enjoyed by all.

We have been very grateful to Miss Nesbitt and all the Music Staff for their kind help and encouragement throughout the year. s. TOM SON The Bird and Animal Society. This year we have combined the Animal and Bird Society. It has proved very successful and we have had many enthusiastic members. Despite the fact that we have been unable to hold many meetings, during the summer term we had a very successful outing to Peter Scott's Bird Sanctuary at Slimbridge, and this was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Before this we were shown a very interesting film about the work done at Slimbridge. We would like to thank Miss Taylor very much for making this outing possible.

We were fortunate enough to have two mice and a hamster during the summer term. Unfortunately one of the mice was killed over half-term, but the hamster and the other mouse are still flourishing.

JANE BAILLIE-HAMILTON

The Gym Club. The Gym Club has been very popular this year and had many enthusiastic members. Miss Thomas and Miss Wainwright have made these meetings possible. We thank them very much.

MELISSA RICHARDSON

THE LIBRARY The Bodington and Coulter Libraries have always been much used, but during the past year they seem to have been more frequented than ever. As usual, new books, 200, have been purchased from the Library Fund, and others have been given by Old Girls and friends, whom we thank for their most acceptable gifts. Some further books have been bought from the book stall in the Indian Market, and these will make a pleasant addition to the fiction section.

In the course of the year, senior members of the school have given much time to keeping the shelves in order and the books in any necessary repair. We thank them for their unobtrusive, but valuable, help.

S.B. 16

GAMES REPORT All the teams reached a high standard this year and were successful in their matches. We have been encouraged to play games such as volley-ball, badminton, and table-tennis far more, and have enjoyed this.

Nine people attended the Wiltshire County Netball Trials and we must congratulate Frances Maitland, who was selected for the 1st County team, and also Anne Catterall and Heather McCallum for the 2nd. The remaining six were reserves. Again the under-14 netball team triumphed in winning the Dr. Ede Cup. The lacrosse season was successful, finishing with company lacrosse which was much enjoyed by the whole school. The Shield was won, for the third year running, by Grosstete. The 1st team went to the Merton Tournament on a bitterly cold day and finally came third in their section.

A junior and senior table-tennis team entered, for the first time, the All-England Schoolgirls' Table-Tennis Tournament; the junior team did extremely well and were runners-up for South-West England. The senior team, however, did not do so well! Also for the first time, we had a badminton team, which won their only match.

It has been good to see that far more tennis has been played throughout the summer term. For the second year twenty-four people played in the " Nestle's Ladder." Because of bad weather early in the term, and examinations, only a limited number of matches were played. Frances Maitland, who reached the top, was unable to play in the knock-out tournament, so Lesley Gosling represented the school. All the teams have done well in their matches, and we must congratulate the U.I5 who have maintained a very high standard throughout the term.

Unfortunately, because of the cold summer, there have been very few swimming matches this term, but people have swum enthusiastically, despite the low temperature of the swimming pool, and many people have taken swimming awards.

This has been a good year, and we are grateful for the encouragement we have received from Miss Thomas and Miss Wainwright, and Miss Mitchell who has given us tennis coaching.

We are very sorry to say goodbye to Miss Wainwright who has been here such a short time and who has helped us very much.

CRUISE 137 In the spring holidays, seventeen members of the school, accompanied by Mr. Bieneman, went on an educational cruise for two weeks. We sailed from Southampton on Monday, March 31st, and returned on Monday, April 13th, after calling at Lisbon, Tangier, Palma, and Malaga. The ship was the S.S. Uganda, and as for many of us it was the first time we had travelled in a ship, and the first time we had been abroad, it was a fascinating experience. We rapidly found out that life at sea was not always very pleasant as going down the Channel the weather was very rough and cold !

We reached Lisbon on the Thursday morning and got up early to see Lisbon at sunrise as we sailed up the Tagus. In the morning we were taken on an interesting tour of the city including a visit to the famous Benefica Stadium near Lisbon. In the afternoon we went sightseeing and shopping in groups, and in the evening we were taken on a tour of the city lights. In the other places we visited we also went on a tour and shopped either in the morning or afternoon. In Tangier it was raining hard most of the time, but I think this visit was enjoyed most by the party as it was the country that was the most, different from England. It was great fun to bargain in the kasbah and see how little you could buy the lovely leather goods for ! We spent a day and a half there, and left at midday on Easter Sunday. We had time that day to cruise near the Rock of Gibraltar and the weather became finer and sunnier the further we went into the Mediterranean.

Palma was a lovely town in the sun and we enjoyed the colours of the island and many glistening white houses against the blue sea.

On the way back to Malaga we cruised along the eastern and southern Spanish coast with its magnificent scenery of rockv mountains. Malaga is a very attractive and very hot town with some lovely examples of Moorish architecture. Many of us were surprised by the attractive way in which the towns were laid out with many trees and flowers, especially Lisbon. In Palma and Malaga we visited bull-rings and were told all about the bull-fights but I think we were all rather relieved that we did not see one. The weather was very fine all the way back and we all arrived home brown and full of our fascinating experiences.

Life on the boat was very enjoyable with dances, films, and very interesting lectures about the countries we were to visit. There was also near the end of the cruise an impromptu retrospect on the cruise, and a concert, both of which we took part in. We all enjoyed our cruise immensely, and thank Mr. Bieneman very much for organising it and taking us, and I am sure many of us hope to participate again in one of these educational cruises!

FOUNDERS' DAY, INDIAN STYLE After a week of monsoon rainfall, Founders' Day dawned bright and sunny. From 8 a.m. onwards the school was a hive of activity, but the atmosphere was surprisingly calm.

During the spring term the Vlth Form proposed that instead of doing a play, the school should hold a fete. In a very democratic fashion the school voted to raise money to sink wells and build huts in a rehabilitation village for lepers in West Bengal. Thus the idea of an Indian Market arose.

A committee of representatives from each form was called to organise the sideshows and everyone really used her imagination over this.

Mrs. Woods, the Dean of Windsor's wife, opened the Market and was presented with a spray of red carnations by Nicola Judge, who was dressed in the traditional North Indian salwar kamis. We were very honoured to have Sir Edmund and Lady Compton and so many of our Governors at the Market, and we were very grateful for all their support.

Parents and friends of the school gave lovely things for all the stalls, and we thank them very much for making the Market possible by their enormous generosity.

The Oriental Stall did particularly well—it is surprising what you can find in your bottom drawer, and Miss Gibbins' spare room was temporarily turned into a very superior off-licence with bottles waiting to go on to the Bottle Stall!

Cordon Bleu mothers made some really delicious cakes and sweets, and St. Margaret's Produce Stall was flowing with milk and honey. " Watch your coke being made" went well until Miss Thomas suffered a coke bath !

Another stall which was constantly surrounded and made an incredible amount of money was the Supermarket, which sold everything from purple stockings to boxing-gloves! The choice at the Book Stall was very varied, and the records also sold very well. As usual, the Bottle Stall had sold all its tickets long before the end!

The sideshows were all very popular : " Granny " had pins stuck in her, slinkies slunk their way down planks, you could kill a rat, spoon for money or test your steadiness in more than one way, hoop-la, ping-pong, goldfishing, a coconut shy, bowling, gambling with guinea pigs, or trying your luck with the wishing-well or hydrogen balloons. Oxford was the most obviously supported in the boat race during the afternoon, and the Indian model village made a very appropriate setting for a treasure hunt.

22

We have definitely decided that the saris worn by some of us are distinctly more graceful and becoming than our Sunday blues, and they gave the scene an oriental touch.

The Market was a great success and we are all very pleased to be able to send off £708 7s. 4d. to " Shanti Nagas" (Village of Peace) and £200 to the Mission to Lepers and hope to hear soon how the building is getting on.

Thank you all for making this possible.

CATHY STAMPER AND TOPSY CHIDLEY

DEATH OF A SOLDIER KILLED BY NAPALM on llth February, 1969, in Jordan The jelly is on me now, God, It's burning off my skin.

It's blistering me— It's killing me !

I was fighting, I was senselessly destroying men.

I'm sorry, God. They've got their own back on me now.

They've killed me!

They dropped napalm on my back, On my beating heart, on my hand And on my gun.

What is war?

Why do we fight our brother?

Why do we want to kill?

Because we'll gain our homeland.

It's for love, God, That now I die.

LUCY ADAMS

THE LOST SHEEP Where am I going?

Why did I leave?

I don't know.

But I do.

I left, because I don't like them, The rest of them, You know, Them!

They bored me They were stupid, idle, fools— The rest of them, You know, Them!

23

But I liked Him, He was kind to me.

He forgave, loved and pitied us, But I still left.

Why? ANNA AGWORTH

THE OWL As I stood under the hollow apple tree, I looked up, and saw Two unblinking, yellow eyes, as big as saucers, Looking away at the darkening skies.

Hypnotic pupils, large and black, Stared down at me, The intruder, who had broken the silence Of the growing dusk.

As my eyes wandered from the two yellow lamps, They saw the outline of the tawny owl.

Suddenly, a hooting strange quivered up From the great bird, And in a sweeping parabola, he plunged With menace to the ground, And pounced upon A little, harmless harvest mouse.

He carried his limp, dangling prey Back to his apple-laden bough, Snuggled his feathers down into place, And then the same unblinking eyes Looked out again At the last rays Of the sun.

SUSAN DOBREE

THE WILD HORSE Every horse must envy me, Running wild, running free, With flying hoofs and flowing mane, Galloping over the endless plain, Leading all my faithful herd Swifter than the fastest bird.

All my mares so graceful and true, Their colts and foals are running too.

Some are black, some are grey, Skewbald, piebald, pinto, bay.

I am the king, a fiery steed, My herd all follow where I lead.

24

I find them water and greenest grass, I find the way o'er mountain pass.

When winter comes, to the south we go, Far away from the winter snow; When spring begins, I lead them forth To fresh pastures in the north.

HILARY MUNDAY

BIRD SONG The birds sing proudly As the dawn begins to break, Raising high their anthems For all to hear and love.

For centuries past They have sung their merry offerings To the beauty of the world.

I pray that it will never come to pass That birds will sing no more.

CAROLINE WILD

PARENTS When they were young, my parents Were angelic—so they say— They always did the things they ought, In the most perfect way.

Their manners were impeccable, Politeness was their rule; They never disobeyed at home, Or even, when at school.

They didn't spend their working hours Gazing at TV The fact it hadn't been invented, Escapes their memory.

If I could have a magic wish, The sight I'd most enjoy Is Mother as a little girl, And Father as a boy.

JULIA DEAN

GOLF The ball went straight, it almost flew, It cleared a muddy track.

It dropped and disappeared from view, Behind a bunker's back.

25

There, on the fairway, far along, It was a lovely white; Someone had hit it, well and strong, Almost out of sight.

I am sure, he must have been content— Only three feet from the pin— He tapped it gently, and it went Most securely in!

CAROLINE BOUOHTON

THE SWEET SHOP Chocolates, pear-drops, toffees of all sorts Sitting on the shelf at the very, very top; A large pair of weighing-scales, A small man in spectacles, Standing at the counter In my favourite shop.

There's a tinkle on the bell As the door creaks open. " Good morning, Mrs. Brown," politely say I. " Oh, hullo, my dear! " What would you be desiring?"

"A quarter of humbugs and a large bull's eye."

Big glass jars on a very little counter, Some fudge lying ready, Just for me to take a pick. " I'll have some toffees, jelly-babies, licorice— And a couple of lollies will be fun to lick."

A sweet shop that I'm fond of, That I visit every day, My blessings on this sweet shop, So very small and neat.

May it stay small and prosperous, In its busy little way, And still sell as it's always done, My favourite kind of sweet.

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

June 17th, 1969.

My dear Old Girls, I have never written this letter so early! The trend this year seems to be to get ahead and it is clear that the pattern of school terms is altering. We seem in for a short spring and summer term and a very long autumn one !

As I write a good many people at school are involved in "A" or "O" level exams. Qualifications are clearly tremendously important but I am glad to say that at St. Mary's, although we must take qualifications very seriously, we still are finding time for Music, Art and most valuable school society meetings and outings.

In a way, this is a good time to write to you because we have just been getting your news postcards. These are immensely interesting, and encouraging, and I would like to put on record my, and your, great gratitude to Miss Thouless, who so kindly takes the details from them for our really remarkably full " News of Old Girls " section.

As a group, the O.G.A. has been very active this year. Susan Rotherham is a most inspiring and invigorating chairman and we are so grateful to her and to you all, for your great help this year over the Centenary Fund in general and the Ball at the Dorchester 28

in particular. I am sure a lot of you will be there and hope you will enjoy it and that it will do a great deal to make the much-needed new Chapel a reality by 1973.

As I read your news on your postcards there is much joy, happy marriages, new arrivals in the family, exciting travel, splendid service abroad and in this country. There has been, I know, sadness too, and though I have not been able to write to all of you, I do send deep sympathy to those who have lost those very dear to them.

I have written elsewhere about Mile. Antoine, but must mention here, too, our great sadness over her death. So many of us owe so much to her.

You will read of our doings elsewhere in this magazine. At the moment we're all set for an Indian Market on Founders' Day for leper villages in India. Teenagers today do not always get a very good press so I would like to end by saying how active very many of the school are in helping people in need, in this country and abroad.

Love and good wishes to you all, Yours ever, ELIZABETH M. GIBBINS

Rosemary Wort (Hylton Stewart) whose husband has now retired from being a Housemaster, has four more years at Wellington College. They are now in their own house. During spring term sabbatical they visited O.W.s in 14 countries including Australia, New Zealand, Solomon Island, Hong Kong, Iran, Thailand, Singapore, Kenya, Cyprus—all in 18 weeks!

Anne Wrangham came down from Cambridge in June 1968 and went straight out to the U.S.A. for three months. She is now working in the Research Department of a Market Research Agency in London. She finds the work very varied and interesting and is enjoying it very much.

Elizabeth Wrangham has been teaching for two years at Holland Park Comprehensive School, where there are about 2,000 children. She finds it very interesting but utterly exhausting.

It lacks the peace of St. Mary's!

Diana Wright (Brown) now has four children: Marie Louise (8), Michael (6), Susanna (3) and Ben (4 months).
