House representatives with considerable support from parents and friends of the School. On their part planning continued through the Summer and Autumn Terms with a climax in the Grand Auction and subsequent presentation of the cheque. But when things had to be done this team were not the only workers; many members of the School were always on hand for odd jobs, and much credit must go to them for the smooth running of proceedings.

The first of the money-raising activities was a market stall of nearlynew clothes in the Summer Term and this was followed up by sponsored activities organised by Richard Collingwood-Gittins, Justin McCarter, Dick Taylor and Andrew Holmes. But the greatest contribution to the final cheque took place on Friday, November 19th, with first a nearlynew clothes sale in the Memorial Hall which was followed (after a thorough rearrangement of the Hall) by a Wine and Cheese Party incorporating Gift Stalls and an Auction. Credit for the success of the evening must go to the people who came, those who donated items for auction, and our very successful auctioneer, Mr. Dee.

To demonstrate the many and varied sources of money, here is an

The final cheque was presented to Mr. Richardson, Headmaster of Northfield School, on November 25th, and there followed a small party for the organisers of the appeal. Up to now I have neglected to mention Mrs. Shuttleworth, to whom the majority of the credit must surely go. It is she, with the help of Mrs. Anelay and Mrs. French, who has consistently borne the brunt of the organisation work and led her team to produce such a successful appeal. Well done!

"It's a Happy Road that we're travelling on .. ."

The C.U. has continued on that Happy Road through weekly Bible Study, Prayer and the joint meetings with Queen Anne's. One of the high points of the year was a concert attended by over 200; the low point was one meeting this term at which six were present—including the speaker!

The Christmas Term saw us full of enthusiasm and featured a somewhat misunderstood "Neg" in Chapel. He didn't seem to catch on, so 44
