EDITORIAL Looking back over the year one is conscious of change. Today we teach in clas rooms heated to comfort, draught-free windows and plenty of floor space, but if one drop of ink is spilt on the floor it causes a near panic in the room and a rush for the mop! It is a far cry to the days when the room was hot in one spot near the furnace! The room and the stoker ( the teacher) were black and valuable teaching time was taken stuffing wads of paper between the doors to keep the wind from whistling through. More than that, no firing could be put on after 11 a.m. as the cleaner wanted a cold stove to clean at 3 p.m. However, bricks and mortar do not make a school. girls are the material on which we work.

The

One sees a procession of girls passing before one's eyes girls who have by self discipline, training and hard work, rendered outstanding service to the School. Some bring academic honours, others gain honours in sport, but the majority whose names are not found in a prize lit, nor yet in the School team have through their personal conduct and influence enriched the life of St. Margaret's. One also thinks of many Old Girls scattered throughout the world each carrying with her something intangible which was gained in her school days. This school succeeds when it builds Christian character and a teacher's work can be evaluated only in so far as her work and influence have given something of lasting value to the girls she taught.

OBITUARY It is with regret we record the death of Mr Mintrom, who passed away on 6th May. The late Mr Mintrom was employed in the Bur ar's Office for fifteen years and in addition to this invaluable service, performed many acts of kindness about the College. During week-ends he cho e to deliver Boarders' mail to them and his beautifully stencilled name cards on lockers and sports ladders are testimony of his deep attachment to the College. His gallantry in World War I won him the Military Cross and Military Medal whilst in World War II he again answered the call to the colours. He posses ed a love for humanity and served the community in many ways. We miss his familiar figure about the College. To his widow and three sons, we extend our deepest sympathy.

DISPLAY OF WORK The 1965 Display of Work again revealed a standard of excellence of which those responsible could be proud. They were. Yet there is always a sense in which the Display is disappointing and fails to achieve its purpose. No doubt you will question this. You might well point to the competence and comprehensiveness of work in many departments: to the appreciation of great literature which the study of English has clearly evoked; to History and Geography rooms, their exhibits vividly portraying the way in which education seeks to understand the varied contributions of many centuries and many cultures; to Science departments, showing abundant evidence of young minds acutely aware of the part the laboratory must play in a society which accepts the unknown only as a challenge to make it the known; to many other departments seeking to give greater depth of percep~ion and experience through colour, sound and movement. But, just as a sermon is dependent for its success upon the congregation, so can an exhibition of work achieve its ends only according to the response of those who view it. Those who pro-• mote our School display are acutely aware that at this point there is a deficiency which it is beyond their capacity to rectify. And here lies, perhaps, the most saddening aspect of education. Where, on these occasions, are the parent who made uch strenuous efforts to have their daughters enrolled at a Church school, but whose intere t i never manifested by attendance at School functions such a these? Whether you as parents realise it or not, your daughters, when at school, cannot be regarded as isolated entities - they are part of a family still, they reflect that family, and can be fully under tood only as their parents too are known and are willing to be actively involved in a threefold relationship of parent-teacher-pupil. Education is not and cannot be bounded by the walls of a school building; it deals with people, not things, and people cannot be pigeon-holed into ~ither categories or classrooms. There is something pathetic about the child whose parents are never seen at school functions, to praise, to compare, to criticise; who appear indifferent to either the problems or the successes of those whom we teach. v\Te are deeply grateful for the unfailing interest of so many; we recogni e that there are cases where sickness or distance make attendance impossible; we cannot but be disturbed by the absence of those others who do not come.

CHAPEL NOTES A Corporate Communion Service on Ash Wednesday at St. Mary's, Merivale, was attended by many of the confirmed girls. Miss Mullan and the Prefects continued to attend Holy Communion every Wednesday throughout Lent. The Lent collections from each form and the Copper Trail amounted to £305/1/5 which is a record. Our Harvest Festival Service was held on March 3rd, and every girl contributed some produce, jam, fruit,. and vegetables. The produce was distributed among the Co~munity of the Sacred Name, Fitzgerald House, Sunshine Lodge, Churchill Courts and Windsor Lodge. The Direct Giving Service was held on August 17th in the School Chapel. A sum of £80, £40 of which came from the Chapel Funds, was given to the John Harrison Memorial Fund and also a sum of £27 /4/7 was sent to Cynthia Roberts in Fiji to buy something for the Jasper Williams School which she is at present attending. We sent a gift of £50 to the Society of Francis, £ 10 to the Youth for Christ £70 to Miss J. 0. Roberts in Korea, and £70/14/2 to St. Margaret's Home School Nazareth. During the year we had three people to speak to us on their work among people of other countries. In the first term Miss Roberts spoke on Korea where she is working as a missionary. Bishop Hill of Melanesia gave an address in the first term about some of his experiences. Mr Meadowcroft, also a missionary, spoke to us in the third term on her problems among the Pakistani people. In August we bade farewell to Bishop Warren and Mrs Warren on their retirement when the Bishop dedicated the new Stephanie Young Wing. • Bishop Pyatt paid hi first official visit as Bishop at our Confirmation Service on October 5th. This service was held in the School Chapel and eighty-two pupils were confirmed including five St. Andrew's Boys. They were:- Judith Allison Katherine Armstrong, Helen Backhouse, Susan Barlow, Rosemary Bell, Lynette Brooks, Jillian Caldwell, Lois Cochrane, Cheryl Copland, Marion Cowlishaw, Jennifer Doak, Janet Dodgshun, Margaret Drake, Jillian Ensor, Michelle Ensor, Elizabeth Everest, Christine Felton, Jennifer Fletcher, Rosemary Forrester, Noeline Foster, Jan Fraser, Philippa Gerard, Anna Goldstein, Sharon Good, Wendy Grice, Barbara Heasley, Barbara Henderson, Sally Henderson, Jane Heslop, Sarah Hewat,

The Founder's Day Candle Lighting Service was held on November 4th this year and the Christmas Carol Service is to be held on December 6th. We would like to thank Archdeacon Woods for giving us so generously of his time, energy and interest throughout the year. S.C.M. NOTES This year our branch of the S.C.M. has had a variety of interesting speakers. Among these were Mr Froud, who spoke of his missionary work and showed us a film called "Spearhead"; we al o had two visits from Mr David Cooke, New Zealand' School ' Secretary, to tell u about the activities of the S.C;M. Mr I raels of the Church of South India talked to us about the Indian S.C.M. and Father Whistler of· Mirfield, England, spoke of the religious life. At another meeting Miss Jean Kirton, a member of the Australian Aborigines Branch of the Wycliff Bible Translators, spoke of her work. Other speaker who talked to us were Miss L. Coleman, who told us about over eas student , Mrs Baisley, Mr Curtis, Mr Hugh Wilson and a Vietnamese student.· Discussions were also held. Some of the topics discussed were "Prayer", and what it mean to us, "Church Unity" and the statement "Church is Boring". The Members of the S.C.M. have raised forty pounds this year by having a sweet stall at the Athletic Sports and some cake stalls at_ P.T.A. Meetings. Thirteen pounds was raised as the result of showing a film on skiing which proved very popular indeed and Mufti day contributed ten pounds to the total.

ST. MARGARET'S COLLEGE MAGAZINE

Fifteen pounds was sent to our Sponsored Child in Greece, ten pounds to Federation Funds and fifteen pounds to the Fransicans in New Guinea. The Art Room was once again used for most of our meet-• ings. We would like to thank Miss Tu till for arranging for such interesting speakers to address our meetings and for her willing help and guidance. This year the S.C.M. was led by Margaret Johnston and Jane Paterson and the secretary was Vicky Louisson. ART ROOM NOTES Enterprise, originality, enthusiasm - these have been keynotes in the Art Room this year. It has been a joy to watch girls seeking new ways in which to express themselves, willing to experiment and in doing so facing and overcoming difficulties of technique and materials. It has been rewarding to know that at a time when the 'ready-made' pleasures are available in greater measure than ever before our young people can realise the deeper pleasure which comes from creating something involving thought and effort; that in an age of synthetics they can appreciate that the handling of basic materials satisfies something deep within human nature. We have had our more obvious successes - Virginia Matson and Jo Cook exhibiting in the Star Exhibition; Aynsley Young gaining a place in the Dominion-wide Decimal Currency Poster Competition. And what of those whose work is mediocre, which never, perhaps, appears on the Art Room walls? They seem to go out with little accomplished. Yet we believe that results which are seen are frequently the least important aspects of what w~ try to teach. If a girl can go out from art lessons knowing that it is as important to work neatly on the back of her embroidery as on the front; that a fault made at the beginning of a piece of work and hidden or camouflaged will inevitably bring more serious problems later; or that however much of a 'flair' she may have for art only relentless practice will bring satisfying results; and that these same principles apply equally to all aspects of life, then our efforts will have brought less tangible, but more meaningful, results. If her art lessons teach a greater awareness of the loveliness and perfection of the world around her, whether in the calyx of a flower or in the play of light and shade on a roadway; if she can go out with a sense of wonder at the abundance of beauty in the most commonplace of nature's handiwork, and with a

ST. MARGARET'S

COLLEGE

MAGAZINE

reverence for these things, then she will have learnt something more precious and more lasting than the making of any article, or the winning of any award, can bestow. RED CROSS NOTES This has been a stimulating and busy year for the Red Cross. There are one hundred and twenty members in the Primary School and twelve in the Senior School. Stalls of various kinds at School and in the homes of the younger girl have brought in a good sum of money. Mrs C. Taylor gave the proceeds of a concert she organised to our funds and Form II held a concert to which their parents were invited. In all £55 was handed in to the Centre for distribution to the countries in need of help. For several months twenty girl from Form II have helped at the Mary Potter Hospice at Calvary Hospital. This has entailed going several nights a week after school and every Saturday. Their visits have been appreciated and the girl have gained much from the experience of working with and for the aged. Two senior girls have helped occasionally and one has been out with meals on wheels. Mrs Bunt from the Red Cross Centre gave a most interesting talk on Meals-on-Wheals. All member thoroughly enjoyed her vi it and asked many questions about the work. Boxes of clothes, quilts, toys and books have been collected and sent in to the centre and also on the Market Day the school sent a generous car-load of things. Four Greek families have received parcels of clothes during the year. At the Annual Red Cross Service, St. Margaret's was asked to form the choir and they sang and behaved beautifully. The North Canterbury Annual Meeting for delegate was held in September. One of the senior girls was chosen as the Secretary. In the Poster Competition ( open to all schools who have a Red Cross Society), St. Margaret's took 1st and 2nd places in FIi and 2nd place in S4. In the Cautionary Tales Competition S.4 gained 1st and 2nd places. For some months Sister Coles has come weekly to take classes in First Aid and Home N ur ing and recently a number of girls sat the theoretical and practical examinations. It was an honour for the School to have a visit from a distinguished visitor Masiofo Fetani Mata'afa. She is the wife

of the Prime Minister of Western Samoa and is President of the Red Cross there. The Staff and the girls found her a charming and delightful person. She spoke with ease and rare ability to girls from S2 to Fil and the girls from the Senior School. As a result of her visit a parcel of exercise books and school requisites is ready to send to Western Samoa. Many parents have helped their children in the efforts they have made to be of service and we are most grateful to them. THE LIBRARY The Library has continued to be a very busy and popular place this year. It is of course far more popular in the winter when it is the warmest place in the school. (Too warm, some would say). This year the Junior School Library has been established in the new wing, where they have a handsome carpeted room with shelves that can be adjusted to any height. The whole of the Junior School has been moved over from the Senior Library, as well as many beautiful new books. The Junior School Librarians are proving very competent in managing their own library. We now have a table in the magazine bay where girls with free periods can work if there is a class on in the library. The

Magazine Bay is almost completely cut off by the new shelves which the workmen have built for us. We also have new shelving in the work-room to cope with the large number of new books we have acquired. Mrs Young very kindly gave us about a hundred or so books at the beginning of the second term; they are now all out on the shelves. Recently Mrs Jameson went to the sale of the late Canon Orange's books and bought a large number of beautiful books at ridiculously low prices. We thank the following people who have donated books this year: Mrs Alington ( Margaret Bradhead), Judy Turner, Miss Corder, Anne Buchanan, Jennifer Pryor, the Steel family in memory of Wendy Nicholls, the Readers Union, Professor Phillips, and Mis~ Raymond for her gift of money. Mrs Jameson's help and advice have been invaluable throughout the year. She has bought many new books for us, including non-fiction, which are always welcome. Although she was as new as the rest of us at the beginning of the year, she soon mastered the intricacies of the library and knew what she was talking about long before the rest of us. I thank her very much for her help and' also her generosity in the matter of chocolate biscuits for the Sehior Librarians. The Senior Librarians have been efficient, fun to work with and extremely capable. The Form Librarians too have contributed to the successful running of the library. My special thank go to my deputy, Jane Skinner, and good wi hes ( a well as luck) to the 1967 Librarians. MUSIC NOTES 1966 has been a most successful year for the music department. The Junior, Intermediate and Senior choirs have been earnestly attended and high standards have been attained with the very able help of Mrs Allison. Such occasions as the Direct Giving Service, the Confirmation Service and the Dedication of the Stephanie Young Block were supported by the competent singing of the Senior Choir. It has also sung at the weddings of a number of old girls. The highlight of this year's work was the production, with Christ's College, of Benjamin Britten's "Noyes Fludde". The work was performed by the combined choirs and orchestras with a number of soloists from both schools. Noye and Mrs Noye were sung by Mr John Fisher and Mrs Ngaire Johnston. The performance was produced by Mr Creese and conducted by Mr

Field-•Dodgson. It is hoped that there will be more productions on such a scale as this one in future years. A String Quartet consisting of Jennifer Drake, Nicola Clark, Catherine Vaughan and Mary-Grace Sussex, represented the school at the Post-Primary Chamber Music Competitions. The Orchestra has again had a satisfactory year playing in assembly every Monday morning. The younger players especially, have been very keen. The Orchestra has played for several of the services and accompanied the finalists in the Concerto competition. This year the orchestra combined with the Christ's College orchestra, visiting College twice a week for practices. The College now possesses 2 Cellos, 1 Bass and 1 Violin, and it is hoped to add to these as time goes on. Past organists and pianists will be interested to know that a fund for an organ has been started. Something suitable for our services is envisaged, and this will also give our Chapel pianists an incentive to work on organ technique. We were privileged in having Mr and Mrs A. S. Carter to judge our Music Competitions during the Second Term. The Results were as follows:Concerto Competition: lst-Joanne Lee; 2nd-Margaret Drake. Solo Piano Competition: Senior - 1st.: Mary-Grace Sussex; 2nd.: Lyndsay Deane; 3rd.: Suzanne Lennon. Intermediate - lst.: Lois Cochrane; 2nd.: Sandra Oates; 3rd.: Judy Rymer. Vocal Competition: Senior - lst.: Heather Forbes; 2nd equal: Jocelyn Armstrong and Anne Chapman. Intermediate 1st.: Alison Bowen; 2nd equal: Jane Matheson and Sarah Hewitt. MUSIC CLUB This year a music club has been formed and about 35 instrumentalists, pianists and singers have joined. A committee of senior girls was appointed and they have done splendid work in organising the club. Meetings take place at intervals from five to seven on Saturday evenings, day girls providing the even-• ing meal. So far we are a very young society but we feel that there is need for a club of this sort in that it provides girls with oppor-

tunities for performing in public. We hope in time to be able to provide at least one concert a year when parents and friends are welcome. DEBATING SOCIETY Officers: President: Mrs S. Penney. Committee: Clare Fitzgerald (secretary), Annette Dynes, Mary Holmes, Catherine Wilkin, Charlotte Holmes and Alison Bown. The Debating Society has held a very active year during 1966. This year the club has attempted to interest more girls in debating. The third formers held a debate during the first term, and several of the third and fourth forms have held debates during their English or History lessons. Philippa Rutledge has been the most able of the third form debaters throughout the year. House debates were successfully continued this year, but Junior and Senior teams were combined and open House debates were held. The final House debate was held between the two finalists, Konini ( Mary Holmes, Margaret Godfrey, Charlotte Holmes) and Kowhai ( Annette Dynes, Susan Wagner, Catherine Wilkin) on the evening of the 7th July. The motion was: "That he who hesitates is lost"; the affirmative being taken by Konini. The negative team, Kowhai, won the house debates by a narrow margin of one point. Mrs M. Erber and Mrs D. Jamieson judged all the house debates, and the committee is most grateful to them, especially for their helpful advice to both experienced and inexperienced debaters. A debate between a mother's team and a junior team was held on the 7th July, following the final house debate. The motion was "that, apart from the necessities of life, five shillings pocket money is quite sufficient for any school child". The debate was most entertaining and the chairman, Mr I. L. Holmes, is to be commended for his amusing but skilful manner with which he conducted the meeting. The mothers ( Mrs J. Saunders, Mrs G. Whale, Mrs I. L. Holmes) taking the negative side defeated the Juniors ( Alison Bown, Philippa Rutledge, Lyn Roberts). The many floor speakers who supported both teams added interest to the debate, and increased the difficulty of judging, which was very ably achieved by Mrs J. Marriot. This year the school supported a competition, arranged by the University of Canterbury Dialectic Society, for the Debating

Societies of Christchurch Secondary Schools. St. Margaret's was represented by two teams, who attended the debates at the University Hall on the 30th July. The Motion for the debates was "That Colonialism was a good thing". The first team ( Catherine Philips, Ceri Parr, Clare Fitzgerald) taking the affirmative debated against Burnside High School. The second team ( Annette Dynes, Bronwyn Morris, Mary Holmes) on the negative side, opposed Hillmorten High School. Neither of the school teams reached the finals, which were eventually won by the Burnside team. The judge was Mr Mackay of the New Zealand Universities' Dialectic Society. A very amusing debate was held on the 30th September when the Society were hosts to a team from Shirley Boys' High School. The girls ( Clare Fitzgerald, Alison Bown, Ceri Parr) opposed the motion, "That New Zealand women should be conscripted for Military Service". The Shirley team won the debate which was judged by Mr S. Jelley, of the Christchurch Teacher' College. Mr Jelley, in his decision, gave many points of advice that were appreciated by both teams. The committee would like to thank the boarder members of the society, especially Caroline Forsyth, for arranging the supper for evening debates during the year. The Society is most grateful to Mary Holmes, Annette Dynes, Caroline Forsyth, Clare Fitzgerald, Catherine Wilkin, Deborah Rawson, Charlotte Holmes and Anne Livingstone for chairing debates throughout the year, and to Mrs Penney for her guidance and active interest in all the society's activities. MYERS CUP PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST This contest, held in the Hall on the evening of the 22nd September, gave those who attended it amusing entertainment and provocative argument. The subjects had been specially cho en by the judge to encourage the contestants to aim at spontaneity, as they all had to express a certain amount of personal opinion and draw on their own experience. In the junior section Rosemary Maples, June Pallot, Lilian Roberts and Beverley Thomas had the topics "My family" or "What I like best at school". In the intermediate section Anne Auriel, Alison Bown, Margaret Drake, Elizabeth Everist and Lynda Voller spoke on "A person I admire" or "My favourite hobby". Annette Dynes, Caroline Forsyth, Yvonne Mackay, Deborah Rawson, and Catherine Wilkin in the senior section

ST. MARGARET'S

COLLEGE

MAGAZINE

addressed us on "My choice of career" or "What I believe in". It is a pity there were not more parents present on thi occasion to provide more experience in speaking to a varied audience. The trouble of attending would have been well worth the pains. The judge, commenting favourably on the standard which had been achieved, gave some very helpful advice to the competitors whom he placed as follows: Myers Cup and I st in Senior Section: Catherine Wilkin. Runner-up: Deborah Rawson. Winner in Intermediate Section: Elizabeth Everist. Runner-ufJ: Alison Bown. Winner in Jun.or Section: Lilian Roberts. Runner-up: lune Pallot. FLATTERS COURSE This course was introduced last year to provide 6th Form girls with a basic training for the time when they might have a flat or home to manage and it was continued this year with much success. Wednesday afternoon classes in which guest speakers gave talks and demonstrations on various subjects proved very popular. Also included in the Flatters course was a weekly cooking lesson for those girls who could fit it into their timetables. This lesson was used to teach the basics of cooking, but ideas were also given to vary the recipes. Le ons were given on meal planning, sensible eating, dieting ( including Calorie counting - a pastime pursued by many girls this year), table laying and the serving of meals so that they look attractive. Party foods and their preparation, and a d~rµonstration of Cake Icing were two interesting and instructive lcs~;ons. Several weeks were taken up with Home Planning and Interior Decoration, with lectures on colour in our homes and colour schemes for the various rooms of the house. Owning and renting homes was discussed and the choice of an area to live in. A talk with slides wa given by Mr Donnithorne on trends in modern home building and the materials now being used. A visit to Mrs Turner's house in Desmond Street gave the class a chance to see how an older type of home can be rerwvated to look its best, and the proposed trip to Millbrook Flats will provide the opportunity to see a good example of modern architecture. Miss Rothenberg gave a very good talk on Interior decorating and this was illustrated with slides and samples of some of the many materials now available for this purpose. Some

ST.

examples of the decorator's skill were seen in a trip to McKenzie and Willis' Exhibition Home. Mrs Turner gave two very interesting lessons on making hand-bags and lamp base and shades and Mrs Oakey gave a demonstration on Flower arrangements. Miss Butler of the St. John's Ambulance Association spoke on the prevention of accidents in the home and a speaker from the Agricultural Department lectured on Kitchen Planning. Mrs Cummins gave two lessons on Grooming, Dtportment, Skin-Care and Make-up and a lesson on hair styles was given by a demonstrator from Hyslop's Salon. Another lesson on makeup was given by a Max Factor consultant as the others had been so popular. Mrs Whitehead from Jansons gave a valuable lesson on how to buy and care for foundation garments. A very useful lesson on stain removal was given and in an endeavour to smarten up some of their school uniforms a valet service was put into operation. Clothes were mended and pressed, shoes were cleaned and everyone looked much neater. The benefit of many of these lessons, if not already apparent, will become obvious when the girls go into flats or homes of their own and our thanks go to Mrs Manhart who has made this course such a success. DRAMA NOTES On 16th, 17th and 18th of June, St. Margaret's again combined with Christ's College for a major production, this time "The Importance of Being Ernest", by Oscar Wilde. As usual the play took place just before mid-'Year exams, and as usl,lal, the girls were not in the least deterred, but went to Tuesday and Friday afternoon and, later, all-day rehearsals with great enthusiasm - with the result that, as usual, they achieved something to be proud of. We are extremely grateful to Mr Creese for producing this play, and to all the College and St. Margaret's staff and the backstage hands, whose work behind the scenes made possible the three evenings of glory for the actresses, Yvonne Mackay, Christine Perry, Catherine Wilkin and Charlotte Holmes. This year, after an interval of several years, House Plays were held again. Unfortunately, we made the mistake of not setting a definite date for starting rehearsals at the very beginning of the year, with the result that they were postponed several times, to the annoyance of both casts and producers, and were

finally not held until the end of the second term. Another great drawback was the fact that Miss Corder was not here to assist us, but Mrs Penney, although fully occupied, was always more than ready to give us any help we asked for. Although there were many moments of despair for all concerned the result on the evening of 16th of August was a thrilling one and it was agreed by casts and audience that this is a tradition well worth keeping up. The plays were judged by Mrs N. H. Creese, who was both critical and encouraging and who awarded first placed to "Paradise Enou" produced by Annette Dynes for Kowhai, and second place to Konini's "Candy Pink" produced by Mary Holmes. We are very grateful to Mrs Creese and to all the others who helped, e pecially Christ's College for allowing us to use their lighting and costumes. At the end of this year Mrs Corrick is leaving us. We are very sorry to see her go and only hope that we can keep up the high standard of drama which she has established and of which we are so proud. INFANT DEPARTMENT NOTES During the first two terms of the year the Infant Department worked in one room. Whilst conditions were a little crowded, the children worked with their u ual enthusiasm, and we all looked forward with eager anticipation to our move to the Stephanie Young Wing. On June 17th Bishop Warren dedicated our future home and we were very proud of our five years old Gwynnyth Adshead, who with a dignity and maturity beyond her years presehted the Bishop with a book containing the signatures of every girl in the school. Later in the year we paid a visit to the Museum, a visit which, quite unintentionally, coincided with that of a group of American Educationalists. The children soon found themselves as great an attraction as our museum exhibits and after an enjoyable excursion through the museum became the focal point of the American Television cameras. One question which posed rather a problem! - "How do you get them all such a uniform size"? Mrs Roberts, our School's Traffic Officer paid us several visits during the year, her demonstrations, records and films, supplying material for many interesting discussions. The third term began in our new building. The children settled very quickly into their normal routine, in spite of a considerable amount of confusion due to the tracking of apparatus

stored in undertermined areas during the rapid exodus from Papanui Road at the conclusion of Term II. However, after several false starts and a wonderful game of hide and seek, all materials were located and stored permanently. By October 21st the official opening day of the school, the children were quite acclimatised to their new surroundings and thoroughly familiar with all new rules and regulations necessary. As the year draws to a close we look forward to our Sports, and to entertaining parents and friends at our annual Nativity Play during the first week of December. PRIMARY SCHOOL NOTES Life this year in the Primary School has centred on the building and the occupation of the new Stephanie Young Wing. The children took great interest in the progress of the building. All joined with the Senior School in the dedication of the Wing by Bishop Warren, and Gwynneth Adshead presented him with one of our farewell gifts, a book of signatures of everyone in the school. The really exciting day wa the last Thursday of the term when everyone took part in the grand shift into new rooms. The settling in was very quick and the adjustment to new rooms and conditions smooth and rapid. On the day the Wing was opened by Bishop Pyatt, the Junior Choir entertained and the rest of the children, in their classes welcomed th_eir parents and friends of the school who came to see over the new wing. Pre-• viously we had entertained Mrs Young who thrilled many of the pupils by her recollection of their mothers as pupils during her years as Head Mistre s. The introduction of a second clas at Form I level has proved most popular and successful. The girls soon became an integrated group and real St. Margaret's pupils. French has been an exciting adventure for both Form I and Form II, while they have all become science enthusiasts taking a keen interest in simple experiments and in the science of astronomy. In the first term we joined in the Harvest Festival, the Lenten offerings and the Holy Week services in the Cathedral. One standard class had a successful trip to Taylor's Mistake while another class hopes to go there in the company of one of the Senior School biology classes. Museum and Planetarium visits have been popular with the upper classe . In April Forms I and II presented an afternoon of plays

which proved most successful, the proceeds being given to Red Cross. The Junior classes presented three operettas to an appreciative audience and raised a considerable sum which they gave to Miss Beattie for Red Cross. Now we are wondering who i going to maintain the very high standard of work and interest in Red Cross among the girls when Miss Beattie leaves at the end of the year. As she has been in the school so long the place will not be quite the same without her cheerful personality and her intense interest in all the girls she has ever taught. We wish her a long and happy retirement. HOSTEL OTES 1966 has been a happy year for the Boarders who together have found much to share. Within the school we showed keenness and ability in many spheres, producing champions in Athletics, swimming 1, basketball and life-saving, leaders in drama and music, and some girls with high scholastic achievements. The Boarders hold a strong loyalty to their school, a tie which can never be broken. Along with the 35 new third-formers we welcomed six Form I girls. For a short time they proved a novelty among the older girls, but soon were brought down to earth. The first Saturday of the year took us on our Annual Picnic to Waikuku Beach. Everyone had tremendous fun but no-one escaped the repercussions of excessive exposure to the sun. Even the remembrance of aching bodies does not deter the girls from sun-bathing at every available opportunity. A certain status is now attached to the depth of our tan. In our worship we have had many changes this year. We returned in the third term to find our chapel had also been for a short holiday. The move resulted in its being out of use for some time, so we have substituted a "new chapel" in an old classroom recently evacuated by the primary chool. To the liking of most girls we now attend the 8.45 a.m. Holy Communion Service at St. Mary's; St. Andrew's boarders sitting in safety and obscurity behind the St. Margaret's girls. This year we began having Holy Communion in our chapel each Thursday morning for those who wish to attend. With his deep interest and concern for the Boarders, Archdeacon Woods has kindly conducted the services, although the attendance at times was very low. There has also been a change in our Evensong; formerly attending St. Mary's every Sunday, we now alternate this with our own Evening Service at the House.

We are most grateful to the P.T.A. members who regularly show us exciting film on Saturday evenings - Mr Rich-• ards, Mr Taylor, Mr Tocker and Mr Harris. This year we have been fortunate to see many performances in Christchurch, the most memorable being the Danish Gym Display, New Zealand Ballet, and the films, "The Agony and the Ecstacy" and "Lord Jim". Before the end of year the seniors will be attending a combined Hostels' Dance being given by the Adam's House Prefects. Our contact with other schools is expanding and giving us much pleasure during the week-ends. One evening, St. Andrew's Boarder visited us, primarily to see the thrilling film "Odette". In return, we have enjoyed attending their modernized Evensong, followed by supper with them. Certainly we are becoming more progressive in our contact with St. Andrew' boys. One evening, we were thrilled to be entertained by girls from Te Wai Pounamu College. Their traditional action songs and obvious joy in performing showed up our reserved nature in matters of entertainment. We are most grateful to Miss Mullan for the guidance and opportunities she gave us this year. Particularly we thank her for the time she devotes to our well-being, at the expense of her own leisure. I wish to thank the Matrons for the care they give us, although at times we are undeserving. Throughout the year we have been fortunate to have Mrs Brooks, Miss Shand and Mrs Donnwell as the matrons in Kilburn House. Mrs Cassidy has ably matroned Warren House with the assistance of House Tutor. In the third term we welcomed Mrs Lucas who assists the matrons in Kilburn. Julius Hou e has seen a change of matron this year, having Miss Percy for Term I and II, Miss Brown coming in the third term. Miss Spence has been House Tutor in Julius throughout this year. I am particularly thankful to Mrs Brooks for her cooperation with the girls and her valuable help she has given the Prefects. Six girls struggled with the duties, but enjoyed the priviledges of prefects in 1966. Our first achievement was to have the originally dull study, painted. Unable to agree on any colour-scheme, we finally resorted to an assortment of pinks .The result was very pleasing and highly approved by the matrons. The prefects have in turn assisted the matron in Julius - Sally Thomas and Clare Anstey in Term I, Janet McLellan and Caroline Forsyth in the winter term, Sally Thomas and Janetta

This year has, on the whole, been a tranquil one for the prefects. Perhaps this could be attributed to the facts that, since the beginning of the second term there have been nineteen of u to share the burden, and that we have nearly all had the stabilizing influence of the prospect of an outside exam in November. There have been a few minor disturbances, but they were mainly instigated by ourselves to relieve our humdrum exist-• ence. In the first term, we filled the hall with op art, imported some males, dressed in our best and staged a dance. Apart from all other enjoyable results it provided many sixth-formers with a chance to try their hand at painting optical illusions, which were so professional that one has since been used as a background for a window display in Ballantynes. Recently, during Synod, deciding we had had a surfeit of diets and school-work, some of us spent the mornings of 19th and 20th October serving coffee at Bishopscourt, and afterwards eating what the vicars didn't. When the little study became too small to accommodate us we erupted into the present study, handing over full ownership of the little room to the rest of 6A. With a new room we became very house-proud and, throughout the year, have, by devious means, acquired extra furniture. Firstly, a foraging party brought out from under the stage a couch with borer and mildewed cushions, which we renovated with the help of Mrs Pryor. Other repairs were made on the pouf s already in the study by Mrs Clark who also donated a chair. Mrs Louisson

lent another chair, and we acquired yet another in fair exchange for a sofa which had found its way from the study to the boa1ding house at the end of last year. In the middle of the second term the record-player on the music-room radiogram broke down irretrievably, and, as the radio still worked, Miss Lewin very kindly allowed us to have it. These efforts have provided us with a comfortable, if at times untidy, study, whose only drawback has been the tendency of some of the music girls to use it as a thoroughfare ! At intervals during the year Miss Mullan, Miss Corder and Mrs Penney have advised us on what we should and should not do, and shown their approval when we have achieved what was wanted, and for this we are very grateful. We have just welcomed Miss Corder back from her tour of Europe and America, and she spent one lunch-hour recently telling us of the sights to be seen, so that now we are all determined to travel the world as soon as possible. In order that "we might remember that she had been gone", she gave us a beautiful cushion cover wh:ch raises the whole tone of the study ! We are very glad to see her back and hasten to assure her that we had noticed her absence during the past six months. As always, we have clashed with various girls at various times over such small items a town leave and the wearing of gloves, but throughout we have thought of them as "Our friends) the enemy", and hope they have regarded us in the same light.

KONINI HOUSE During 1966 the ninety-six Konini girls have had numerous opportunities for achievement. Their enthusiasm was admirably demonstrated on various occasions. Thankfully the number of competitions is increasing as the girls grow in House spirit. Konini began this year with satisfying results. At the Swimming Sports we came runner-•up in the total points and won the House Crocodile. An outstanding performance from Judy Berryman endowed Konini with the honour of Senior Champion. For our twenty-nine third-formers this was their first taste of success. Their enthusiasm is encouraging and I hope the future will not see it :fade. In the Athletic Sports although Konini did not predominate we produced keen competition for the other houses. The Juniors eagerly competed to triumph in their section. The excitement of a cross-country run came primarily to the "younger set" in Konini House, the seniors reaching retirement at an early age. Undoubtedly the mo t exciting sports event is the InterHouse Basketball and Hockey. Our six teams enthusiastically supported by Konini spectators, played with undaunted vigour. The "A" Basketball team was triumphant in every match. We look forward to the coming Inter-house Softball competition. Konini was well represented in Gymnastic and Life-saving this year. Among the many awards, one senior gained the Distinction Award for Life-saving. • This year brought added opportunity for inter-house competition with the re-•introduction of House Plays and Choirs. The pleasure in performing easily outweighed the time-consuming preparation. Although Konini choir did not win, the House Play gained a close second place to Kowhai. Mary Holme thoughtfully interpreted "Candy Pink" with the confidence of an experienced producer. Throughout the year our musicians have shown their ability by partaking in the school orchestra and music club activities. There has been keen representation by Konini in Publicspeaking and Debating this year. We regret that our Debating Team, after successfully reaching the finals was over-powered by the affirming persuasion of Kowhai. I thank all those who have made an effort to gain mentions and work-bars for Konini. Though we struggled we were unable to surpass our rival Kowhai, in the score of total marks.

KOWHAI HOUSE NOTES Again Kowhai has been successful, but whereas before we eemed to concentrate mainly on the sporting activities, this year we have branched out into other fields too. At the end of the first and second terms we won the Bates House Cup. In the Swimming Sports Kowhai did very well winning the cup for the most points and the senior relay. Kowhai also won the senior section of the Athletic Sports and the Whole House Relay, the Senior Relay and the Sack relay. With the revival of the Inter-House Drama Competition more points were gained for the Bates House Cup when we won with our play "Paradise Enow". Annette Dynes a very competent producer was ably a isted by the cast of Yvonne Mackay, Catherine Wilken, Sue Wagner, Jane Nixon, Deborah Tait, Helen Preston, Jan Frazer, Annabel Sullivan and June Nicholls. Our debating team ( Annette Dynes, Catherine Wilken, and Sue Wagner) were successful in defeating Konini in the final. Having little room left on our shelf for more cups we allowed Rata to win the House Choir competition. Much pleasure if nothing el e was gained by the Hou e

MATIPO HOUSE NOTES This year has not been without success for Matipo; house spirit and enthusiasm both scholastically and in games has been maintained throughout the year. At the Swimming Sport Tui Shipston broke three records and was intermediate champion. She later went to Jamaica to represent New Zealand in swimming. The House Crocodile failed to prove itself this year but the Junior House Relay came third. Congratulations to Tui Shipston for gaining her colours and to Cheryl Tod for gaining her pocket. At the Athletic Sports Matipo shone a little more. The Senior House Relay came third and the Junior House Relay gained second place. In the House Captains' Race Matipo came second.

second and in the Junior Section we gained third place. Marilyn Foster was Senior Runner-up champion and Alison Tetley was Intermediate Runner-up champion. Congratulations to Alison Tetley and Vivienne Fox for having their pockets reawarded and to Penni Fear a'nd Marilyn Fo ter for gaining their pockets. This year inter-house play and choirs were introduced. In the first term the choir competition was held and the play competition was held in the second term. Unfortunately we were not placed in either competition. At the end of the second term we competed in the house hockey and basketball competitions. Our hockey team defeated Kowhai in a knock-out series to gain the shield. The basketball teams held an honourable position of second equal in overall points. Our congratulations go to Joanna Holderne for having her hockey pocket reqwarded and Diana McRae for being awarded her hockey pocket. Lynda Voller gained her basketball pocket and Umpires' Whistle. Cheryl Tod also gained her basketball pocket. At gymnastics, many of the Matipo girls have excelled being awarded with red and green gym badge and iron and bronze awards.

RATA HOUSE NOTES Although Rata has not been without success this year it has not managed to shine brilliantly in either the scholastic or the sporting field. However, good results have been achieved in most activities and the members of the House have never lacked enthusiasm. At the Swimming Sports the Juniors were most successful in gaining points and came first in the Junior Relay. We also gained third place in the house crocodile. At the Athletic Sports during the first term Rata came second in the Whole House Relay. Rata's greatest success this year was winning the House Choir competition which was held in the first term. The enthusiasm of the girls combined with the excellent training given by Alison Parsons gave us a well-earned and much needed victory. In the House Hockey and Basketball tournament all team members played well and the C Basketball team won their grade. The House Play competition which was introduced this year proved a great success and Rata did well to gain third place. I should like to thank all members of the House for their support and cooperation and especially those who have gained points through life saving and gym awards, work bars, gym badges and weekly mentions. Finally, I should like to thank my vice-captain, Caroline Forsyth, for her unfailing support throughout the year, and I wish Rata House the best of luck for next year.

RIMU HOUSE NOTES Although Rimu has not shone brilliantly this year, we have not been without our triumphs. In the swimming sports, Rimu took the plunge-and sank. However, we managed to gain second place in the House Croco-

dile and third place in the Senior House Relay. In the athletic sports Rimu did considerably better. Our Junior Relay team "shattered" all- opposition in establishing a record. Our Sack House Relay team waddled in third, and we were first in the House Captain's Novelty Race. In the winter sports field our enthusiasm produced outstanding results. Our Hockey team reached the final but were beaten 2-1 by Matipo. In the Basketball, the consistency of our four teams enabled us to proudly carry off the trophy. This year House Choirs and Plays were introduced. Although we were not victorious, much interest and enjoyment was shown. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ca_therine Isaac for conducting our House Choir, and Rosemary Everett for producing our House Play. I would also like to thank all members who have gained points for the House with mentions, work bars and games badges. A large number of girls gained valuable points in gymnastic and life-!:;avingexaminations as well. Congratulations to the girls who had pockets and colours awarded or re-awarded. Finally, I would like to thank my vice-captain, Janet Sandst.on, for her unfailing support throughout the year, and the Hou e a a whole for the cooperation and enthusiasm hown in all House activities.

TEN IS OTES The 1965 inter-school matches proved quite successful for our four teams. The 'A' team finished first equal in its grade, while the other teams had many enjoyable games. We entered teams in the A, B, C and Junior Grades. In November a school team played the annual match against the Old Girls for the Betty Thomas Tennis Cup. The Old Girls' were again the winners by 9 sets, 70 games to 3 sets, 52 games. We look forward to playing them again this year with, we hope, a little more success. Rimu won the Senior section of the Inter-House Tennis and Konini won the Junior Section. The Senior Championship was won by Felicity Maple with Elizabeth Russell runner-up. The Intermediate Section was won by Anne Lawrence from Jan Archibald and Adrienne Thatcher defeated Anne Farmer for the Junior title. During the first term of this year Rangi Ruru were hosts for the summer Quadrangular Tournament, which this year was run on slightly different lines. The 'A' team played ingles

ATHLETIC NOTES, 1966 The School Athletic Sports were held this year on Monday, 15th March and followed the pattern of the programme initiated last year. The efficient organisation of this programme was the result of much time and hard work by Miss Mangos, assisted by Mrs Jameson and Miss Morgan. To these and other staff members and officials who helped on Sports Day, we are very grateful. A special word of thanks must go to Mrs Warren for presenting the cups. A new Intermediate High Jump record was set by Joanna Latter and the overall standard of competition was higher than in previous years. This was confirmed by our success in the Inter-•School Sports. Joanna Latter gained two first places, one of them in record time in the Intermediate section, Louise Paterson gained a first place, Penni Fear, Alison Dendle and the Intermediate relay came second in their respective events and

BASKETBALL NOTES Although this season was not as successful as it might have been, we were very lucky to have the help and advice of Mrs Escott, who gave up a great deal of her time to coach the 'A' and 'B' Teams. On the 21st July the 'A' Team together with the 'A' Hockey Team boarded the bus to travel to Dunedin for the Quadrangular Tournament. Success was varied; we were defeated by St. Hilda's 28-18, but went on to defeat Craighead by a narrow margin 25-22.

The 'B' team wa very successful, ending the sea on one point behind Girls' High School, because of a bye in the 1 t round and their competition was incomplete. The Triangular Tournament was held at St. Hilda' this year. We had a very even game with St. Hilda's and were defeated by Craighead the next day on a very icy hockey field.

This year the House Hockey Shield changed hands, when Matipo defeated Rimu 1-0 in the final. Unfortunately we were in Dunedin when the Canterbury Secondary Schools' Representative team played at Ashburton. However, Ann Farmer was selected to play and the team won by 4 goals to 3. Once again our team entered in the Secondary School Girls' Tournament held this year at Ranfurly. We appreciated the cooperation of the staff when we played them in the match of the season. This exciting basketball match along with our sweet stall helped finance our trip. During the tournament we won our first three games, drew with Columba, and lost to Gore, who went on to win the final. Altogether twelve teams entered and the games were both fast and enjoyable. Our enjoyment was heightened by the splendid hospitality we received. We would like to thank Miss Morgan for giving up part of her holiday to take us and also for her tireless coaching and encouragement throughout the season. We are grateful to Susan Thomson and Miss Wood for umpiring on Wednesdays. Awards) 1966 -

CRANMER Once again our school team entered the Senior Reserve Grade Competition as Cranmer. Although our success was limited we gained valuable experience, which helped to improve our hockey. The following girls played during the season:]. Banks, N. Clark, S. Cummack, V. Fleetwood, V. Fox, J. Holderness, A. Lawrence, D. McRae, J. Paterson, G. Polson, J. Pryor, J. Sandston, J. Turner, C. Williams, S. Wilton. On the 23rd April we took part in a six-a-side tournament and after an enjoyable day's hockey we finished second. The following girls took partN. Clark, A. Lawrence, D. McRae, J. Paterson, J. Turner, C. Williams. We were all required to umpire at least once during the season, which gave us the opportunity to see another side of the game. Anne Lawrence, Christine Williams and Ann Farmer were chosen to play in the Canterbury Representative Senior Reserve team. The team played in Timaru defeating South Canterbury 6-2. I wish to thank all members of the team and reserves for their cooperation during the season. Finally, I wish to thank Miss Morgan for giving up her time both to coach us and support us so enthusiastically. We also appreciated the side-line encouragement given by so many parents.

SCHOOL GAMES NOTES

Swimming Notes: Our sports were held on Thursday, 24th February. The day was overcast but warm. Two records were broken, L. Livingstone recorded 15 .6 seconds in the 25 yards Freestyle Forms I and II non-championship, and the Konini relay team won in the record time of 1 min. 40. 7secs. S. Perry registered the very good time of 18 seconds in her heat of the 25 yards Freestyle Standard 2, but it cannot stand as a record because only one stop watch was used., This year several changes were made to the programme. All championship events for Form I and II have been lengthened to 50 yards and we have also included non-championship breastroke and backstroke events which means the girls are able to compete in more events. The forms I and II championship was won by F. Bunt with 15 points, A. Bunt was runner-up with 9 points. The Standards

3 and 4 championship was won by A. Liddell with 15 points, S. Bell was runner-up with 5 points.

Tennis Notes: Forms I and II have been able to play tennis once a week during their games lessons. Courts have been available for use during the lunch hour and sometimes after school. Once again we would like to thank Mrs Bunt for coming to school on Mon-• days and coaching girls from Forms I and II. At the end of last year we arranged several friendly matches with Selwyn House. After the games everyone had a swim. This was a most successful afternoon and it i hoped it can be arranged again this term. Basketball Notes: We are happy to say that this year we are the proud holder of the Mary Weathered Trophy. The team really rose to the occasion in their final match against Rangi Rum. I would like to thank Miss Mangos for coaching the team so successfully; giving up her spare time so often, has at last been rewarded. We did not enter in the Primary School competition, but but on several Friday afternoons we played games against the· chool with a bye. This proved a most successful arrangement. Re ults ~ St. Margaret's v. Glenmoor, lost 10-8. v. Northcote, won 9-8. v. Selwyn House, won 7-5. v. St. Mark's, won 10-3. v. Middleton Grange, won 10-4. v. St. Mary' , won 11-0. v. Victory Memorial, won 17-1. v. Rangi Ruru, won 9-8.

Hockey Notes Again this year Friday proved a disappointing day for the Primary School competition, several matches were postponed because of bad weather or unplayable grounds. It was also disappointing for our team and not only because of the elements. As we tart the second term a week later than other schools we played a match less, which meant that in spite of the fact that we drew with Beckenham on two occasions they went forward to the final and eventually won the competition. It is to be hoped that next season this situation does not arise agam.

Athletic Notes: The sports were held at Rugby Park on Tuesday, 23rd November, 1965. It was fine but a strong easterly wind was blowing which made it difficult to register record times. Miss Newson presented the prizes. This year the sports are to be held on Tuesday, 22nd November, again at Rugby Park because as yet our school ground is still not in suitable order. I would like to thank all the Junior School staff, Parents, and senior girls who did so much good work on sports day. The following records were broken 50 yards Hurdles, 11 Years: C.

ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS MY CHOICE OF CAREER It' not customary to make a speech about a question mark - and that's my future career - but it would be a speech about an exclamation mark if I spoke about what I believe in. And as a question mark twists and turns and ends in a full-stop, so do

I. Like so many others who occasionally get a good mark in English, I fancied my elf a a journali t. Going from a scandal to a motor accident and seeing the world, perhaps, would be wonderful. But one day an eminent gentleman of the pre very kindly addre sed us. Journalism, he said, is not just another job - it is a matter of dedication. Five years hard labour at least after a degree before going overseas. The vi ion paled. The que tion mark floated before my eyes. By then I might be twenty-six! He spoke too, of learning the job from the bottom, of the high tandards - people were sacked, he said, unle they pulled their weight. All of which is reasonable, I uppo e, but I realised then that my romantic vision had been all too highly coloured. And what if after all those years I had to do the women' page? And if writing for a new paper is a difficult as writing a speech, I hardly think it would be a pleasant job. On another day a librarian spoke to u about her career. I'm sure anyone who likes reading books has often wanted to be a librarian. I know I have. Lying in bed with a fascinating book, one could think of nothing more pleasant than being paid for working amongst and reading book . However, in . peaking to us, this librarian drew not so fascinating a picture of library work. To make a success of it, one must have a degree first. There also remained the alarming nece ity to be perpetually intelligent and to read endless books on subject that might not intere t one. As I listened, I suddenly thought how much more attractive it would be ju t to go to sea, and that is what I'd really like to do. And if there were a career where one could make music on a ship and top every now and again for a ki, that would be mine ! Making music ju t on its own i fun and a career in mu ic would be exciting, but the combination of talent and dedication i not given to many. Long year of study lie ahead - not that

I am averse to study, but at this stage everything seems a long way away. One could of course become a teacher. One immediately thinks of qualifications and dedication, and whether the classroom is so attractive from the other side of the desk. The alternative, then, would be a career without so many qualificationsthere is matrimony of course, not that that always qualifies as a ca.reer. Just now at the end of another ski season, what better career could there be than that of a ski-instructor? How I'd love to be able to wear those tight pants with a stripe down the side and to walk right through doors marked "private" in ski resorts. Idle dreams. Life is earnest. Even a ski-•instructor must grow old and even a ski-instructor must first have qualified with skill for and dedication to his chosen sport. Dedicated, qualified - the rest is easy. Even if I already had school certificate I might feel myself less of a question mark. Meanwhile I can only hope to be qualified, wait to be dedicated. - Deborah Rawson, 5L. MY ADVENTURE I am a new ten-cent coin and look very smart in my bright silver coat. When I came out of the Mint in England I was shipped to New Zealand. When I arrived I was put in a shiny copper tin at the back of a bank. There I waited quite happily listening to the jingling of the other coins. When the day of the change over came I was given to a shopkeeper. On the way to the shop I slipped through a hole in his trousers and fell on to the road. I did not stay there very long because a band of three robbers picked me up and stuffed me in a bag full of other coins. When we got a wee way along the road I looked out and saw the robbers fighting over who should have us. Then the robber who had the bag threw it and it landed with a clash on the bank of a river. A few moments later I found myself being taken away by a magpie and dropped in her nest. A day or two later I looked down out of the nest and saw a boy climbing steadily towards the nest which I was in and the next moment I found myself being lifted through the air and laid gently in a purse. - Nicola Carey, Std. 3.

THE STAFF v. A HOCKEY TEAM BASKETBALL MATCH Undoubtedly the social event of the year was the big match between the staff and the A Hockey team. The match started in the true tradition of all big events, quite late, thus building up suspense. The first team to arrive was the 'A' Hockey team, immaculate in gym skirts and blouses plus black tights and Christ's College blazers and boaters. It is to be hoped that none of those very striking and "mod" op art brui· es were inflicted by angry brothers. The Staff team provided the fashion aspects of the event, however. They displayed the new look - football jerseys, shorts and fetching little bows in the hair. They made a grand entrance in a donkey-drawn carriage. An official nurse was on hand with assistants to take care of casualties. Little Miss Molly umpired. Early in the game Miss Mango-Campbell-Lammerton had a violent struggle with Chris Worthington for the ball. Little Miss Molly gave the ball to Miss M-C-L and advanced her to a convenient position, which was most considerate of her. Nobody really saw what happened to Mrs King Erber the Great. It would probably be fair to surmise that she, being in full flight when she ran out of wind, had insufficient altitude to overshoot the field, and too much speed for a wheels-<lown landing. Consequently she came down with her under-carriage up, thereby making a heavy landing but conserving sole-rubber in a most praiseworthy manner. When last seen Mrs King Erber the Great was being removed from the field by the crash · crew. After all, she could not be left there. She would have been a hazard to other traffic. I would like here to commend Mrs Mobile Marriot, who certainly lived up to her name and Little Miss Molly, the umpire. Although I had .a few momentary doubts when she began passing the ball to Staff team members, I realised that of course she was demonstrating correct passes, thus benefiting both teams. The high point of the game was Mrs Mini-Coop's goal. It must have been hers. Nobody else would have wanted it. She crashed through all opposition like a rush hour bus .and poised like the statue of Eros in Piccadilly. Reliable authority has it that the ball glanced off the post, hit a low-.flying duck, rebounded, was caught by a nor'westerly gust and crashed down through the basket. Mrs Mini-Coop still can't believe it! After the match, the victorious side - the victorious side? Which was the victorious side? We tried to ask the umpire, but

What a glorious view lay before me - all the world outside looked like some sort of mysterious fantasyland. What, the previous day had been, a few patche of white on brown had been transformed, as if by magic into a breathtaking stretch of shimmering white. The snow was soft-looking, very clean and unmarred by any footprints. The youth hostel, motel, and cabins were covered with so much snow that they were scarcely visible. In contrast, the telegraph pole stood black and erect except for part of one ide which had snow on it. Long icicles hung down from the eaves of the motel roof. The tree in Governor's Bush were covered on top with a blanket of snow but underneath they were greenish-grey. The pile of wood which was lying outside the hostel was now just a heap of snow. Fog loomed over and none of the mountains were visible except Sebastol and those nearer one . I could see the road winding uphill and gradually disappearing into the fog. I wondered what was behind that mountains probably, but I liked to imagine there was omething· else, strange and my terious. nowflake wept across the grey sky, twirling and whirling until they landed noiselessly on the oft snow. They almost looked as 'if they were doing some ort of dance. I decided to go for a walk, so putting on my boots, coat and gloves, stepped outside. Never before in New Zealand had I seen snow like this. It was wonderful-like some fairyland. Our car was completely covered in a thick layer of it. Already some people had built nowmen. The signpo ts were partly covered, there wa a bridge with icicles on it which tood out bright red against the white slopes surrounding it. The trees had blankets of snow on them, and on one there were three· chaffinches. Some tiny bushes were completely covered in ice so they looked like bushes culptured in ice. Tomorrow, I thought, the weather would be fine, people would be out kiing or going for walk , the mountain would come out in fre h layers of now and we might build a snowman, or even several - there was more than enough now. But what of tomorrow? Leave that for itself, I thought; so I sat back to watch the snow falling. - June Pallot, 3B.

THE SMALL BOY The small eed of dandelion sailed through the air; remained stationary for a second, then disappeared amongst the jungle of green. Soon another, its small white wings ~trained by a udden gust of wind, stopped uncertain and then, too fell. Suddenly the thin brown hand of the little boy reached out pulling from their roots a clump of the small yellow-white flowers, crushing them beneath his sandal. His small eye gleamed and the mop of hair was thrown back as he rolled over, laughing. The vanquished lay in a ,;:mall heap, stems broken and bruised, lifeless except for the escaping seed and natur.f1.l unbending of the flattened bodies. A large tear welled in the eye of another younger boy, sitting an excluded witness on the slope. One tear was followed by another, wiped away on a dirty sleeve, until all their effort to escape unnoticed had failed and they rushed out, unique, tiny beasts given their freedom.

incredulous eyes of the other widened and peered out from the contorted, pink face into his companion's; no one spoke and apart from the persistent sobbing of the younger boy, nothing was heard. The little killer was suddenly puzzled. His high forehead reflected white, frowning lines and a scarcely perceptable bead of perspiration slipped lowly down it. The thin little mouth began to curl in a cruel wrinkle at the corners; now, now he was master, he saw and knew that he had all power. thought of the small delicate flowers and he could see no difference, both were an annoying minority, both must be hurt. In the following seconds he was haunted with indecision. He twisted the greyish button on his bright red shirt, his eyes trance-like, looked meaninglessly from the inhuman, ashen face of a child. His pride burned and his power to create fear burned and he lunged forward again, this time with a new and frightening vengeance. He grabbed, choked and suffocated all the helpless dandelions until they all lay, strewn in pathetic little heap on the hillside and then exhausted by his efforts, he fell back. There was no laughing this time, the boy simply closed his eye and fell on his back out of breath and tired. The sobbing had ceased and two hands rubbed the blue eye and then, as if to shelter them from the devastation, glinted between thick little fingers at the ground. His whole body heaved with sympathy and perhaps utter helplessne . He wa only young, too young to understand. Then the little boy turned his head askance with fright. He bent over one of the fallen victims and held it up but it simply folded over, brui ed in,, the middle, dead. He threw it onto the earth and as if still hopi:r;ig, picked up another, it too was injured and bent; they all were. Suddenly the fright and helplessness grew into anger and picking up all the flowers he could from their fallen posts, he hurled them at the curved stomach of his sleeping partner. He clawed at the tawny mop and feeling the might in his grip, pulled, pulled so hard that his hand was covered with the golden strands. His small red mouth opened and closed, his eyes welled with tears and in a husky, dry voice he "Creamed "I hate you", and then as if shocked by his own strength, leapt onto his bare feet and ran. The laughing started once more and the thin brown body rolled backwards down the hill: he had succeeded. - Susan White, 6S.

THAT THE STUDY OF A DEAD LANGUAGE IS A WASTE OF TIME In the past, little was known about the practical subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, but much was known in the field of Latin and Greek, which were considered the basis of a good education. Universities had large faculties for the study of language and ancient culture, but small faculties for those subjects in which little was known. Today, it is the reverse. We live in a scientific age and more jobs are to be found with a degree in chemistry than with one in dead languages, but the very fact that there are less people studying these subjects, means that a classical scholar is not likely to be without a job. Many people seem to think that the study of a dead language is a waste of time; yet the only plausible argument they have seems to be that it is a dead language. Naturally it is more difficult tQ.•learn a language which is no longer spoken, but there is all the more pleasure in conquering something difficult. I think an attempt should be made to speak Latin in schools. Unfortunately, the vocabulary one learns in Latin is mainly for translating Caesar, who appears to deal with nothing but warfare. Teachers seem to believe that because there are so many cases and rules in Latin, it would be impossible to speak. They do not seem to realize that there are languages spoken today, which have the same complications; if not more. Speaking a language makes it so much more fun, and stops it from being a drudgery. Naturally when one is first starting a language, it is monotonous, but after a time it becomes a game. Too many pupils abandon a dead language before they have begun to appreciate it. They will also see how useful it is in learning other languages. It is always interesting to note the advantage pupils who have studied Latin have in an English class when the cases of the nouns are mentioned. Learning another language, one is forced to learn thoroughly the basic rules of grammar and syntax. Many European languages are derived from Latin and the vocabulary is much easier to learn if one has a knowledge of the rest words. "Dom us", a house, for example, is found in Russian, Czech, French and English. One can only fully appreciate the usefulness of a dead language after one has read the works of important poets. It impresses on our minds the importance of a classical education when there are such frequent references to Greek and Latin mythology.

There is a certain satisfaction gained in being able to read a Latin or Greek book in the original version. A translation is never the same and one has a definite feeling of having achieved something, if one can understand a book written centuries ago. One reason that so many students abandon the study of a dead language, is that it is such hard work. It is a very good discipline however, and for many, can only be overcome after a struggle. This is the sort of challenge we must expect to meet in life, and there is no virtue in giving in when a difficulty presents itself. The study of a dead language can teach us accuracy, diligence, patience, and a number of useful attributes which can never go ·amiss. - Mary-Grace Sussex, 5L. THE WHITE ROCKS The whitened sepulchres, rearing-up, stand stark, against the ever-moving hills of tussock. E,ach bleached rock, smoothed by the tired fingers of time into a grotesque figure, Has gradually fused with others to form the sepulchres.

IT'S A DOG'S LIFE Being a wild dog without a care or worry in the world, just doing as I please and going where I wish is the life for me. I can sleep all day, go hunting for rabbits or some other little animal whenever I feel in the mood, or just exploring my world. I couldn't bear to be pampered and spoiled, beg for food and be teased by little children like a domestic dog. I like the rolling hills and boundless prairie, a hole for a home and the sky for a roof. I like to feel free and completely on my own. I can live each day as it comes and not worry about a thing. Once when I was out catching rabbits a man captured me and took me into the big city and gave me to his little boy for a pet. As I somehow bore a few days of that horrible life I thought of my life back in the wild country which seemed so far away and which I might never see. When suddenly one day to my surprise, the little boy went on a scout hike and took me along with him. I saw my chance of escape. After a meal of burnt sausages and overdone potatoes the boys decided to go on a tracking expedition and took me along with them as a tracker because I was a greyhound. I seized my chance and when Bob least expected it I made a dash and tore through the tall grass and didn't stop or even think of anything except "SAFETY" away from people and captivity. This life is not without excitement and danger, but it's my life, the only life. - Patricia Barlow, Form II. ,;-:~"

CONSTRUCTION IN THE GEOGRAPHY ROOM After a field trip to Mt. Cook during the first term, our 6A Geography class was asked by the Mt. Cook National Park Board to construct a model of the Sealy Range showing the proposed aerial cableway from the Hermitage to the Annette Plateau. Mr Norman Hardie, who is interested in this scheme, kindly supplied us with topographic maps, aerial photographs, and his willing advice. Under Miss Blair's guidance we traced the contour lines from a map onto three-ply, and not trusting our own carpentry ability, sought the assistance of Mr Thompson. The construction team came in during free periods and the mountains rose with wire, sacking and glue, to their carefully calculated heights. Armed with buckets of water and plaster we generously applied plaster of paris to the completed framework and to ourselves. Allowing for a few minor complications, the construction went without a hitch. As a deviation from normal work the project was actively participated in and enjoyed by all. In order to complete our contract we must next paint and label our sector of the Southern Alps. THE OLD MUSEUM The old mu eum is almost deserted now, but it will never be silent. Whether there are people there or not, there will still be the breathing, whispering, covert life. Was that a giggle? No, it was only your imagination. Look at that Egyptian mummy. It is hard to believe that once that bandaged wrapped figure was just like you. It must be hard to lie motionless like that forever. Surely sometime you would get up. On some moonless night would you go running, running through the darkness of the museum? Would you be back in your case, like Cinderella, by a certain time? There are the model figures in their old-fashioned costumes. I wonder whether that bowing man ever takes his lady to waltz among the display cases, accompanied by the unheard music which floats around the museum on gentle breezes. There is a girl standing in a hooped petticoat in front of a mirror. Perhaps at night she turns, stretches, preens herself in front of the mirror. Suddenly there comes the echoing, crashing noise of stiletto heels, breaking the silence, splintering the quiet dignity of the place. The old museum becomes hostile. Is that open drawer

of display moths opening just a little further, enough to snag her nylons as she passes? She has gone. The atmosphere relaxes, becomes casual, almost friendly. But it is a trifle reserved; I am still here, and it will not be the same until I have gone. Surely nothing ever really dies. Surely that mummy is only lying in a dream; a beautiful dream of the old days to which it can never return. Surely even the brightly coloured moths in the open drawer must be thinking of the cool night, the bright lights that tempt, that repulse, that spurn and ca.iole. The old museum stands in a dark corner of town, of ten empty of visitors, but never lacking in life.

"ARE THERE ANY MORE PLACES TO EXPLORE?" So far in man's history of exploration, there are two elements which he has not been able to explore thoroughly - the seat and its watery world, and space with the seemingly lifeless planets and countless billions of stars. Even with all the exploration that has so far been done on earth, a vast area of mother earth still has not disclosed her secrets to man. About thirty years ago, man made his first trip under the sea's surface. This was made by Picard, a Frenchman. Since that date, man's scientific knowledge has increased greatly in two ways - he now knows a great deal more about the deep water fishes and their habits, dolphins and whales and the possibility of using their radar. It is also hoped that one day men and dolphins will eventually speak to one another, perhaps in English. If this happened more could be learnt about the ocean floor. The other aspect is the way in which deep-sea going vessels have improved and are equipped with more instruments such as radar, computers, depth-finding gauges and huge spotlights to enable the scientists in the vessel to watch the mannerisms of the various fish. With the world's seeming inability to produce enough food for her starving people, scientists hope to explore the possibility of growing some type of food in the ocean. In more recent years an American submarine, "Nautilus", sailed right under the South pole. This is a great step forward. Space today is foremost in many people's minds. With the very recent Gemini XI flight which included the second space walk and the breaking of the record for the highest dis-• tance above the earth's surface, the landing of a man on the moon seems nearer. When one thinks of man's very first space exploration attempt and compares it with recent flights, one realizes just how much man's knowledge in this sphere has increased. At this very moment, brilliant men are probing the still undiscovered secrets of this vast universe and all the other universes which are made up of planets and stars. It is hoped that one day a planet will be found on which humans can live, in an effort to stop the world becoming too over-populated. There are vast possibilities for exploration in space. Ever since the beginning of time, man has been exploring earth. Although he has succeeded to a great extent, there are still parts of countries only partly explored or not explored at all by white man. One area is the jungle around the heart of South America. Reasons for this failure are that the hot steamy climate, coupled with poisonous insects and hostile native inhabitants

Feet and fur are all I see, When Timbuctoo's in front of me. Ilut underneath that fur, they "ay A mechanism ticks away. Which makes him want to scratch and mew When he is feeling cross with you.

LONDON MORNING The whole morning leapt with joy. The streets of London lay in sunlight. All the sordidness of the night was forgotten. Looking at the Canaletto ky the whirls of cloud and the clearcut lines of the tall buildings, it was impos ible to imagine there was such a thing as sorrow in the world. This was only because no-one was about in the streets where Dorian walked. This young man, although nothing like his infamous namesake Gray, was of fresh face and brisk build. He wore a black duffle coat of much wear, which mercifully shrouded his other clothes. He was very poor, which was apparent from his shoes - suede boots of unknown age - worn in heel and sole, discoloured, patched and scuffed. Two years ago, he had lost a university scholarship. Two years ago he had been thrown out into the roaring brash world of money-making in a strange city - for Dorian was an Aus-• tralian. He had only been able to find employment as a dog'sbody's dog's-body, and he was very poorly paid. However, there he was triding long-haired and whistling along an avenue. His breakfast has been filling though of cheap components; he had an excellent novel from the library, and had saved enough to go to a :film in the weekend. A bleary-eyed student came out of a side street. Dorian

knew him, greeted him, and wa rebuffed as a "dirty scavenger". Hurt, for he had known this man quite well, he hurried on, looking at his shoe and thinking he needed a new pair - and for that matter that he needed new jeans, a new sweater, a new shirt -a complete new set of clothes. He approached the cafe door, descended many steps into the clammy kitchen. He hung up his duffle-coat, greeted the grey-blonde girl at the sink, and compared this chaotic place with his own neat, if tiny and dark room. It's a funny thing, but that man was happy. - Imogen de la Bere, 5L. LOOKI

OUR NEW CLASSROOMS The long awaited day had come, We carried our tables one by one. Down to our classrooms hining bright, Oh! what a wonderful heartening sight. Floors so pretty, clean and gay, Plenty of windows to brighten our day. Lovely lockers to keep all our things, Now we look forward to when the bell rings. We all love our classrooms so spacious and new, And always we're thinking of something to do. - Susan Piesse, Std. 4. THE SQUARE Red, green, yellow and blue umbrellas hurried and scurried through the swishing rain. Big black formidable umbrellas filed out of banks and offices while gay bright ones nosed their way out of shelter into the rain. Neon lights brightened the dark sky but, just as the Cathedral bells struck five, there was a flash of lightening and thunder roared and it began to hail. The hail boun ed off the roof like machine guns and the trees bent double as the wind roared down the road carrying paper and scraps which danced and jumped on the way. Buses came down as the people clambered on. Little by little the scene was clearing and all that was left was the rain and hail pouring down on an empty street. - Nicola Ogilvie, F 11. WHEN I GROW UP When I grow up I want to be an architect. I would like to design houses, flats and offices and I will work until I have enough money to retire. When I do retire I will go out to dances and night-clubs. I will have a house with a big swimming pool which is heated, and I will have two cars. One will be a bubble-car and one a Ford. I will live out in the country, and will have two children, a boy and a girl. The girl I will call Ethel and the boy Peter. When I die I will give my eyes to the hospital, my cars and house to my children, and I will tell my son to carry on my career. - Helen Cook, Std. 2.

AFTERNOON

Blank faces stare out the window and it take considerable teaching skill to keep minds from wandering off the interesting subject of "Elegance and Variety in Words and Sentences". People shuffle and wriggle pushing chairs out and pulling desks nearer. Some lean back in their chairs and chew the ends of their pens. Sighs are uttered and stray pieces of hair are pushed back from flushed, wind-burnt faces. Today the nor'wester is particularly enervating. There is no industrious scratching of pens. Nonchalantly, people flip over the pages, barely absorbing a word that the teacher :,ays. Up on the teacher's desk the flowers, too, are showing signs of the heat. The lilac flowers bend their heads while the leaves lose their rigidity and become limp and lifeless. The blossom which had looked so fresh on Monday now hangs like dirty little bunche of cotton-wool from the drooping stems. The clock on the wall receives many glances. An occasional puff of wind sends pieces of paper scurrying across the floor. On the pegboard at the back of the room copies of the 'Times' are hanging, looking like wet rags. Beside the 'Times' other articles and posters are pinned. All the drawing pins except two have fallen to the floor. A breeze disturbs the curtains making them billow out. Beside the desks cases lie with stacks of notes, folders and

books piled up inside them. Text books and lunch-tins tumble out of satchels. Cardigans are tossed in untidy heaps on desks and are draped on the backs of chairs. A solitary fly buzzes into the room and settles among the wilted lilac. The minutes tick slowly by. Now and again the wood in the bookcase and floor-boards creaks because the day is so hot. Suddenly the ringing bell brings life into the classroom. There is a scraping of chairs, books are pushed into desks, desklids ,ate forced down and chairs heaved on top of them. Freedom at last! - Rosemary Biss, 5L. THE BLIND BEGGAR He sat on the corner, a blind beggar. His clothes were rags and his body was covered with sores. In his hand he held an old, rusty tin. Nobody ever gave him any money, so he scrounged around in rubbish tins to find a crust of bread. Nobody ever paid any attention to him; in fact many deliberately crossed over the road to avoid him. He looked very forlorn as he sat there, his head in his hands. His eyes had lost the bright sparkle of thirty years ago when, the son of a rich nobleman, he had given tremendous banquets and gone hunting almost every day. It was in such a hunting trip that he had lost the sight of both eyes, and his parents had refused to care for him. Now as he sits on the corner, his tin clutched tightly in his withered hand, how different his life! - Sharon Kirk, Form IW. THE SEA The sea is like a beautiful wom~n As she draws the sailor to her breast And then off and on she lures him Sailing o'er the white wave's crest. And then it's too late. It's too late for him. Land has long sunk from sight. And now the sea she plays with him, But he puts up a strong brave fight. Her grip is hard and cold now, She is tiring of her play, So up on the rocks she tosses him And goes on her merry way. - Jacqueline Roberts, Form IE.

Holy Communion was celebrated on Saturday, ovember 6th, in the School Chapel. We are grateful to the School Chaplain,. Archdeacon Woods, and his assistant for taking the service. Over 100 Old Girls, staff and prefects attended. Morning tea was followed by the tennis match versus the present girls for the Betty Thomas Cup, which was won by the Old Girls. Our team was: Margaret Lawrence, Beverley Lee, Margaret Cooper, Kathleen Sullivan, Betty Neale, Isobel Matson, Margaret Clarke, Eleanor Macfarlane, Anne Wright, Judith Todd, Patricia Alexander and Jennifer Meredith Kaye. Because of the continued lack of interest the committee decided to abandon the Old Girls' Race. Following discussions with the branches, it has been decided to make the Addeh Perkins Cup a trophy for competition at our annual golf day. The Dinner and Annual General Meeting was held at the Russley Hotel on Saturday, November 6th instead of the u ual Monday, to enable branches to be represented. We were delighted to have the President, Secretary and four others from Dunedin, the President and Vice-President from Wellington, the Secretary and one other from Timaru, and two from Queenstown. We knew that Auckland would be with us in spirit. We thank all these members for sparing the time to come and in showing such interest in the A sociation. During the meeting a presentation was made to Joan Polson (Holmes) our retiring Secretary, and Joyce Benzie (Jamieson), a retiring committee member. Following the meeting Miss Joy Johnston showed coloured slides and gave a most humorous account of her experiences while a Field Service Scholar in the United States. Starry Shield: Matches for the Storry Shield were played at the United Tennis Club courts on Saturday, February 19th. Rangi Ruru were the hosts on this occasion, and were also the winners of this successful tournament. Points gained were: Rangi Ruru 157, St. Andrew' College 152, St. Margaret's College 130, Christ's College 129. Our team was: Margaret Lawrence, Beverley Lee, Margaret Cooper, Wendy Morgan, Margaret Clark, Kathleen Sullivan,. Jeanette Cromb, Catherine Cox. New Old Girls' Party: Our first function this year was on Tuesday, March 8th in the Horticulture Hall. We had sent to all girl who left school last year an invitation to a buffet meal from 5.30-7 p.m. More than 70 new Old Girls were welcomed by the President and informed of the. Association's activities. We were pleased that Miss Mullan was able to join us. Our function coincided with Australia Week and after the meaL; girls were able to see static di plays of Australian life flora and fauna and to watch a mannequin parade. Debutante Ball: Our Debutante Ball held at the Winter Garden on Thursday, April 14th, was an outstanding success. Throughout the rooms were beautiful massed floral arrangements in white or pink. The official alcove was encircled by arrangements of hydrangeas in small white tubs resembling standard rose bushes and on the supper tables were tall pink candles in low bowls of camellias and nerines. Guests are restricted to debutantes and their parties and there was a wonderfully happy atmosphere among the young and old of the 730 present. The 36 debutantes carried posies given by the Association and were presented to the Rt. Rev. A. K. Warren and Mrs Warren. They also

greeted Miss Mullan. After two massed curtsies, fathers led their daughters in the debutante waltz. We were sorry that this was the last occasion on which Bishop Warren would receive our debutantes and we took this opportunity to thank him and to make the Bishop and Mrs Warren small presentations. The debutantes were: Valerie Jackson, Hilary Rose, Yvonne Flitcroft, Joanna Parfitt, Barbara Cummack, Rosemary Turnbull, Philippa Williams, Virginia Williams, Gabrielle Andrews, Sarah Woods, Emily Mulligan, Jill Smith,. Lois Plimmer, Philippa Kempthorne, Danelle Moffitt, Adrienne Perry, Andrea Twyneham, Jackie Harris, Angela Blackie, Suzanne Bullock, Nicola May, Diane Clemens, Diane Bennett, Gillian Lee, Marilyn Harris, Annette Toms, Jan Thatcher, Virginia Matson, Mary Collins, Sherrill Murfitt, Christine Stephens, Diane Bettle, Patricia Neal, Gillian Anderson, Marianne Oswald and Susan Norbet-Munns. Luncheon Party: A popular function was a luncheon party at Russley Hotel on Friday, April 29th, when there were 82 Old Girls present. It \Vas most encouraging to see many members we have not had at functions for some time. Morning Tea: On Friday, June 24th, we held a morning tea in the smaller Horticulture Hall. The President welcomed over 90 members and the guest speaker, Mrs N. A. H. Creese. Mrs Creese gave us an entertaining account of her reminiscence of school days in wartime England. On our behalf Jill Penman thanked the speaker and presented her with a small iift. Annual Ball: The Winter Garden was transformed into a scene from the French Mediterranean for our most successful Annual Ball on Saturday, June 11th. A canoe and paddles greeted guests in the foyer while the official alcove became a French pavement cafe with small tables and beach umbrellas. Elsewhere, water skis, coloured balls, fishing nets, shells, seaweed and driftwood highlighted the amtosphere of a summer playground. Among the 710 guests we were delighted to welcome representatives from five Old Boys' Associations. Sherry Party: An innovation this year was a sherry party from 5.30 p.m.-7.30 p.m. on July 28th at Riccarton House. Bowls of flowers, bright standard lamps, lighted candles in bottles and a fire in the entrance hall created a warm and friendly atmosphere for the 94 who attended. We were very plea ed to welcome as our guests Miss Mullan and six of the School Staff. Again as at previous functions we were particularly delighted to greet Old Girls we had not seen for some time. The committee made and supplied the savouries which were served. Dine and Dance: On August 9th we held a Dine and Dance at Riccarton House for younger members. We were disappointed with the response from Old Girls. The committee had hoped for a larger attendance but the 66 young people who came thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Bright dance music and a folk singer proved popular entertainment while the committee cooked and served hot dishes and coffee. Kindred A1ssociations: A very happy 5.30-7.30 p.m. party was given by our committee in August at the home of our President. We invited two representatives from each of 13 kindred associations as our guests in return for hospitality extended by them during the year. There is an extremely happy relationship between all associations in Christchurch and the free exchange of ideas is most helpful to all. The possibility

ST.

of reviving the association of Presidents and Secretaries ha been discussed. Golf Day: Our annual golf day is to be held at Shirley on Monday, October 10th. We hope once again to have a large entry. We have over 100 names on our golfing register but we are very interested to know of new players. This year the Addeh Perkins Cup will be added to the list of trophies. Visits to Branches: In July our committee sent Margaret Lawrence to Auckland to meet members of that branch. I visited our Wellington branch in May and our Dunedin branch in September. In ovember some of our committee and I are to vi it Timaru to attend their Communion Service and annual meeting. These contacts mean a great deal to our branches but they have also given us great pleasure. The friendliness of the branches to new members in their district and their loyalty to the Association is much appreciated. Gifts and Charities: In March your committee conducted a cab stall at a fete at Templeton Ho pital for the Intellectually Handicapped to raise funds for their Interdenominational Chapel. The excellent response from Old Girls for contributions resulted in our raising over £90. All appreciated thi opportunity to assist a worthwhile cause. The Association ha supported various charities and the committee and others sold health stamps on opening day. We thank all who as isted. The Board has decided that the main entrance to the School will be in Winchester Street. Your committee has approved of the Association paying the cost of a chain of concrete masonry fence with wrought iron gates and lamps. The cost will be approximately £300 and it is hoped that the work will be completed before ovember. A plaque will be incorporated recording this gift from the Association. Additional gifts include a tape recorder to the school for use in physical education and a contribution to the Endowment Fund. St. Margaret's College Trust Board: During my two years in office I have attended Board meetings as your representative. Appreciation: We should like to thank Miss Mullan for her intere t in our activities and for her cooperation, and the Board for the use of the School for functions. Also Mr M. H. Vile our Honorary Auditor, Mr C. L. Sturge, Messrs J. Ballantyne and Co. Ltd., for their help with ball decorations and selling tickets, the Star and Pres and the husband of committee members for their invaluable help on many occasion . To all others who have helped during the year we expres our gratitude. Miss D. Robinson has asked me to expre s her appreciation af the willing help she has received from Old Girls for many years in her position as careers mistress at St. Margaret' . The variety of functions presented during the year imposed a considerable burden on the officers and committee and each one of them has been more than willing to help when required. The A sociation is especially fortunate to have two capable officers in Margaret Logan (Liddon) as Secretary and Margaret Lawrence (Burrell) as Treasurer. No President has had a more willing or helpful committee and I hould like to record my personal thanks to them all. BETTY A. LEE ( A DREWS), President.
