uniform will not be compulsory until the end of next year.

We held swimming ports of our own for the first time this year: they were held in the Claremont Baths, and the competitions were inter-Form .

All are sorry to hear that Miss Phemister is leaving at the end of this year, and that she is going back to Scot l and. We who have worked under her guidance dur ing the last six yelrs wi ll. aiways be grateful to her for the very many ways in which she has he lped us. She has taken a keen interest in all branches of school work and in ea.ch she will be missed.

An event of this year has been tile making of our hockey fie l d, which we hope to be able to use in 1934, both fo r hockey and running. Apart from its use, t he levelli n g of the fie ld has greatly improved the appearance of t h e School; the paddock has disappeared for ever.

O u r new u nifo r m for next year has been almost decided on; any alteration of our present oDe would be very welcome to the School. The change will come by degrees, and the new

IN MEMORIAM .

MARY LOW.

It was hard to lose Mary, the dear, happy chi ld of Form n, who, by her sunny nature and quiet manner, captured the hearts of pupils and teachers. For just a few short years she was with us in the Lower School, always ready with. her shy, sweet smile. We are glad that we have had Mary among us for even a short time, and our loving sympathy we extend - to her sorrowing parents.

As the Association will be playing basketball instead of netball next year, the new rules were introduced towards the end of 2nd term, and it took us some time to get used to them.

The Form collections for Cot Fund have been poor since so many parents groan beneath the Hospital Tax, but the £50 which is required has already been made up by other means.

The School has appreciated the educational lectures given over the wireless this year, and we hope they will continue.

Miss Phemister spent her Christmas in Scotland and was away for four months. The School had to do without her for the last month's work of 1932, and she was very much missed. Dr. Summers was there, however, to take her p l ace. Added to all the Doctor's other worries, she had the production of "Much Ado About Nothing," the success of which required a great deal of time and hard work.

Miss Nicholson has left us and has gone back to the University to study. Her p lace has been taken by Miss Will, B.A., frolll Queensland.

At the end of last year, Miss Le Soeuf deserted us She had been on the staff for nine years, and was probably tired of examining the same mangled frogs.

a great loss to the boarders. Her place has been taken by Miss Griffith, B.Sc., Dip.Ed., one of our Old Girls.

Miss Fabre took us for biology for one term, but now she has left Miss Griffith takes this subject as well as maths.

Miss Pedersen will join the staff in 3rd term, and will teach mathematics.

• PRIZE-GIVING .

On the evening of Tuesday, December 6, the girls and their parents and friends all assembled in the Cottesloe Hall at 8 o'clock to witness or take part in the distribution of the prizes. The day had been we ll chosen, for the evening was fairly cool and added to the enjoyment of everybody.

The School Song, sung by the School, was the opening item, and a shoh prayer was followed by the chairman's address by the Rev. f>,. Crow. Then the Upper School sang "J erusalem" and "Cargoes," after which Miss Phemister's report was read by Dr Summers. Two pianoforte solos were rendered by Paddy Crampton, and' then came the outstanding feature of the evening, the prize-giving by Mr. Wallace Clubb.

Two more songs, "The Lord is My Shepherd" and "Weep You No More, Sad Fountains," were sung by the Schoo l choir after the interval, then a de lightful rhythm display was presented by the pupils of the KinderMuch enjoyment was obtained from the gymnastics display, first by Forms IVa and IVb, then by Forms I, II and Ill. The fina l item was the Wedding scene from "Much Ado About Nothing," and the National Anthem brought the evening to a close. PRIZE LIST , 1932.

PREFECTS ' NOTES

This year' we welcomed three new prefects, and that completed the half·· dozen. There are groans from the two day-girl prefects, who see med to he \, eighed down with absentees, lat es, and gloves. Another great objection to

the sma ll number is the afternoon-tea on Friday afternoons . That sentence does Il ot Ileed t o b e exp lained, for both old and new girls know what happens th e n.

Perhap s our most important event, so far,. has been a tennis party given at JUl1lor House to the prefects from Si. Hilda's. A fortnight later wc were pleased to accept a s imilar invitation t rom th em.

Our private sanctulll is looking very brIght Ju s t at present, with a new curta111 for the cupboard, which was g iven t o us by Peggy Ro se. We a lso intend getting a new window -curtain. Our intentions are good, but wheth e r it will eventuate remain s to be seen. \Ve wish that some well-me owing Old Glrl would do her good deed 1)\ ::tdtfing. to our library, for at pre se nt it IS the last stages of fermt:!ntarion , hav111g been acted on by bacteria for a l ong tirr.c

We were sorry to say good-bye to .M 1SS J ones, who left in the middle of la s t term. S h e was a visitor t o afternOOn tea in the Prefects' Room fiv e millute J before she left : ( it wa s h er s econd , for the invitation was lmpromp tu).

The prefects have made a reque s t for a Boarders' Common Room tbe furnit ure for which th ey cou ld for them se lves - but so far nothing definite ha s be en a rrang ed.

This year the prefect s' outing s tarted rather sad ly. 'VIle went to the p icture s 111 and saw .. avalcade." Dust must have up se t the eyes of two of our numb er, as th ey wept soUdly through th e whole performance. Howe ver, we return e d to choo l and indulged ill a High Tea whic h extended over two hour s.

We have no comp laint s' to make about th e School. They are very good on t he whole , except that they do nO' like tidying up th e groun ds .

We can only clo se by wishing the prefects of the f utur e a s uccessful year.

• BOARDERS' NOTES

Here we are again, Happy as can be (? ?) : All good friends And jolly good company.

Although still quite a small band, we are the merry tribe of old, who delight in dancing to Monty's favourite, "AvaIon Town."

This year Miss Sharkey , Miss Hutchinson and Miss J ones deserted us and the croc. walks. We welcomed Miss Will and Miss Griffith, the latter taking the responsibility of maths. from Miss J ones, who during 1st Term decided that "a change was as good as a holiday" and departed for P.L.e. in Ballarat.

During 3rd Term last year Miss Phemister tripped off to Scot land for a well-deserved holiday, giving her responsibilities to Dr. Summers, who became resident and guided us safely through the remainder of the term.

A s usual, we had our dorm. feast , which was followed by raids and a most exciting pillow fight, which resulted in one unfortunate top dormite having to sleep pillowless.

At one stage of 2nd Term this year we seriously contemplated turning the Boarding House into a Home for Cripples. One of our bright members, when p lavin€: "hidy in the dark," cut her leg ra ther seriously on a tap. Anot'l'ier of our band, a very enthusiastic hocke y player. received a "bang" on her toe. preventing her from playing hockey for several weeks.

Loud hammering and such sounds, that made us wonder if the sky wa s

descending on us, issued one day from the dorm. roof. Was the roof really going to be mended, and weren't we to have showers when it rained rather heavily in the night? Yes, it was .guite true. All the same, we still have showers every morning during hai l and storm. Not through the roof, though, but in the usual way. As the mornings become colder, one can hear Ohs! and Ahs! issuing from the bathrooms, when boarders are re l ucta,ntly tasting the ICY water of the shower.

We still have pieces, and although buttered ones are nearly a lways consp icuous by their absencl:,. we still have the ever unpopular Barmaid ' s B l ush.

During the visit of the Gilbert and Sullivan Operas to Perth, in 1st Term, Miss Phemister gave us a very p l easant surprise by announcing, one afternoon, that we could all go to the " Mikado" !hat evening. We were all wildly excited and did not attempt to conceal our feelings. It was thorough ly enjoyed by us all, and we wished that we cou ld have an opportunity to see the remaining operas.

Miss Weber introduced a system of hockey training this year. At 7.45 every morning the boarders are seen sprinting down McNeil-street in sing le file . We hope that, by the end of the hockey season, we shall have s lim waists (?) and reduced figures. We are we ll represented in both hockey teams and most of us are very enthu·· sias tic players.

On the last Wednesday of 2nd Term we played a very exciting hockey match - the Day-girls versus the Boarders. This is the first time that we have challenges! the Day-girls. We, having by far the best team, changed our usual field place s, which made the game very amusing. Despite this fact, we won 3-1 goals, after a very enjoyab le hour's play.

That night we all donned our church frocks, lace-up shoes, and everything completed we went to an Orchestral Concert in the Town Ha l l. Everyone thoroug'hly enjoyed themse lves and I'm afraid nearly all of us fell in love with the Italian singer.

Well, holidays have begun, so these notes must come to a close , it being useless to try to think when the boarders are exercising their vocal organs, singing "Happy !?ays," "To-day I Feel So Happy," etc.

• FORM NOTES.

FORMS VIa. and Vlh .

"Catch! then, 0 catch the transient hour;

Improve each moment as it flies. " -Johnson.

This is the last year at school £'or most of us in VIa, and none of us really wants to l eave, when it come s to the point, but all VIb will be here to succeed to our exalted position. VIb lhis year is an iniantile wltll an average age of about fifteen; the y are also small in number, filling ju s t one row of desks.

We are a very domesticated Form -the domestic arts are fashionabl e now. Everyone seems to have her knitting or sewing, and makes her own clothes; so, you see, our cleverness i s not bounded by school work.

German is a dark cloud on the horizon for many of US, and we periodically give up all hope of succcec!t :lg in 1( On ly Margaret was clever enough to cope with German sailors. Some of u s have most interesting correspondence with other students in German y, Fr a nce or Cey l on.

We have more work this year than any other Sixth Form ever had befor e , and the poor boarders s·till try to d o three hours' home-work in half that time.

We are expecting to win the Game s Shield this year , as we have won the swimming and tennis so far. We have Maude and Rosalie for the running and enough for a basketball team.

Severa l visited the Savoy Operas in Perth at the beginning of the year, and a s a r es ult, "Thi s b c language" can still be heard echoing (in squeaks) through Sixth. We collaborated with Form V in acting J. M.

Barri e's " hall We Join the Ladies ?" at the School Play evening.

\Ve mi ss N ancy Price. She left in . he middle of the year, and penetrated into the wilds of Geraldton.

Now we must say: "Aufwiedersehen."

FORM V N O TES.

Hail to the twenty - three studious members who comprise Form V. As each day begins we hear: "Now, girls, this is the term for work I " Ugh I how we hate it-but we must add that we really do a lot of hard labour.

Last year we were sorry to lose Miss Nicholson, who has helped many Junior Forms, but her place has been filled by Miss Will.

Our new Form Captain... is Irene Gannaway, and J oan Hedley is Sports Captain, while Kath Scott can be heard asking for spare pennies for Cot Fund.

We have three members of the tennis teams , while a number of the Form are hockey enthusiasts-sometimes the cloak-room looks like it! ! !

Last term Miss Sharkev attempted to arouse our interest in famous paintings, and some very beautiful pictures adorned the walls. Alas! Since some of them have been removed, the nails on which they once hung have no chance to rust, as one noW see s them ornamented by blazers.

\Nell, dear reader, we mu st bid thee adieu, as our motto is " Work, work , work."

F ORM IV a NOTES.

W e are thirteen this year, and a ver y happy, hard-working little band, although we sometimes find it difficult t o conceal our mirth in class.

We were all very s orry to lose our Form Captain, Laurel McDonald, who has gone to live in Melbourne. Her place has been taken by Val Grigg, who wa s formerly Vice-Captain.

Milly McLarty is our Sports Captain, and recently won a prize, presented by Sixth Form, for her prowess in the gymnasium.

As we found great difficulty in collecting Cot Fund among ourselves, we he l d a concert at the end of 1st Term, which was quite a success. Elsie Angel is our Cot Fund representative, and, we are sorry to say , she has rather a job collect a few shillings in these; hard times.

Some of our budding "parlez vou sists" are working for the Alliance, and hope to scrape through somehow. Undoubtedly, our many other virtues will be extolled elsewhere, and, as t he other Forms probably \\'a nt their littl e say, we will say cheerio until nex t year. Au revoir.

F ORM IVh .

Dear reader s ,-

This year there are twenty-two girls in the Form. There were ten new girl,; at the beginning of the year. We were very sorry to lose J oyce Cruthers at the end of the I st Term.

During the 1st Term Ardyn Craze and her little band gave a Fete in aid of the Cot Fund, the receipts being £5 odd.

While practising netball one afternoon, Nathalie Wilson had the misfortune to sprain her wrist. She is one of our b es t and basketball players.

The Form Captain is J oyce McKee; Vice-Captain is Ardvn Craze, and Sport s Captain, Natha lie Wilson. The ot Fund representative is Pauline Jackson

Well, cheerio, till next year.

FORMS II I AND 11.

We were twenty one in number last term. Th is term, two new girls made Our number up to twenty-two. Wc were very sad to part with Mary Low. We miss her friendship very much at school. Mary did her best to make everyone happy, and we shall always

remember the happy days we spent together.

We were sadly beaten by IVb at tennis last term, but rejoiced in beating them at the swimming sports.

With IVb we produced an operetta called "Hiawatha's Childhood," which was presented with other plays in aid of the Cot Fund.

During last term A. Craze and M. Lis s iman, with the "S ull s hine Club," gave a bazaar in aid of the Cot Fund. We received the handsome sum of £2/ 10/ - as our share in the profits.

Third Term last year we were very pleased to know that had won the Gym. Shield. We are all looking forward to Our basketball ma :; ch with IVb at the end of term. [Ed.-IlI and Il defeated IVb.)

We shall be very pleased to welcome next term, with its swimming and tennis.

• GUIDE NOTES.

Our happy family has grown cons iderably this year, s o, the more being the merrier , we have been able to get quite a lot done. Five of our company went to camp at West Murray last where, we hear, they entertained all and sundry with selections frol11 "On Our Selection," and received great app lause.

At the beginning of the year we spent most of our time training our ten recruits and getting tbem duly enro ll ed; but on the last Monday we proceeded to hunt for perfectly round stones, twelve ... inch sticks, and other rarities on the cliffs near the boatsheds. Of course some people nearly fell into the' river, but not quite, so, to make up for the lack of excitement, two got lost. But they were soon found and we tramped back to School.

Once back to the Guide House, wc: sorted out our "finds" and gained points for the interesting (?) things we had found, e.g., an old brass tin. So far we have been for o"e hik e, but we intend to go for another one soon. We started really early and t ook the train to Darlington. From there,

we hiked to Swan View, stopping in National Park for lunch. One or two hardy souls ventured to try the swimming pool, but most of us preferred to stay high and dry on the bank.

The Guide House is beginning to look quite festive, between corner Com· petitions inside, !lnd the gardens outside. Edith Bennett kindly presented us with our first-aid cupboard, whicl: we are gradually fitting out. Our gardens are growing well, especially some of the sweet peas, which (let me whisper) someone dug to see how tliey were growing, and the j Qnqui l s, which were rumoured to be spring onions, but we haven't come to that yet.

On Saturday, 19th, we held a comb ined Bridge Party and Progressive Games Competition. We tl!,rned the Guide House into a Den of Horrors, complete with horses' skulls ana an operating table. As a result of this, we have a good sum to \hand to Headquarters, to help them continue their good work.

BROWNIE NOTES .

Twit-twoo! Twit-twoo! Twitwoo 1 Hallo! Again, there are nine Brownies this year, and all jolly and happy, like last year. We were very sorry to lose Pat Martin, Marjorie Lissiman and Margery Boas. Pat Martin and Marjorie Lissiman had wings to fly up with, but Margery Boas had to be taken \lp. Beryl Craze is leader of the E lves and Hea::her Crosthwaite is leader of the Sprites. The seconders are Kath l een Lissiman and He l en Finch. The four new recruits are Dulcie Cooper, Constance Livermore, Florence Lissiman and June Heffernan. Bryanne Smith has been enrolled bef0re the others. We 'hope to see more Brownif's before the year is finished Twit-twoo, twit-twoo, twitwoo.

"THE BABY ."

A gentle creature of purest white, With eyes S9 big, and blue and br ight; Two dainty feet, and ten pink toes; Two dimpled cheeks, a pretty nose. Her hair is black as a raven's wing, Curling and twirling in manv a ring. -N. Pope.

M U S.I C CLU B NOTES

"There is sweet music here that softer falls."

Strange indeed were the so.unds that could be heard issuing from the Music Rooms during the lunch-hour practices. However, the result was worth the effort when the altos and seconds were finally heard on July 29.

There has been only one meeting of the Music Club so far this year, the subject being the Gilbert and Sullivan Operas. In 3rd Term the meetings will take the form of Musical ApJJreclatio.l, when members will have a better opportunity of talking.

We take this opportunity of wishing the music pupils the best of luck in the coming University Examinations.

"MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING ."

At the beginning of 3rd Term last year, Dr. Summers produced "M uch Ado About Nothing." Beatrice and Benedick were played by Una Pascoe and Kathleen Baird, while Noel Henderson and Erminie Rose were Claudio and Hero. The remainder of the cast was chosen mainlv from Forms V and VI, assisted by two members of IVb. The play took place in the Assembly Hall to a large and appreciative audience. The profit of just over £12 is for the sports equipment of the hockeyfield.

S W IMM I NG .

( Capt ain: N . He n de r so n.)

For the first time we held our own Swimming Sports, a few days before the inter-School Carnival, when ti1e Forms competed against one another for points in individual and events. Numbers were encouraged to swim their first race, and they enjoyed it to o. The tiny tots had to be content with wading to their goal.

The championships were awarded as follows :-

Senior-N. Henderson , 25 points, 1; J. Hedley, 7 points, 2; M. Bunbury, 6 points, 3. Junior-B. Henderson, 21 points, 1; P. Maguire, 7 points, 2; J. Yates, 5 points, 3.

Swimming Colours have been won this year by B. Roe.

As we had our own swimming sports this year, we did not compete in the Barron Trophy, but N. and B. HenderSO il entered for the 50 yards Secondary School Championships, Noel gaining fourth place in the Open, and Barbara thit d in the Under 15.

HOCKEY .

( 'Captain : R . Cro s thwaite .)

A bright idea this-going to hockey practices in our specia l 'bus, or crowding to matches into one poor taxijust the thirteen of us besides the driver. But we proceeded very carefully without mishap, often, I admit, feeling rather like a balloon about to hUl'st - which fact l ed to Our downfall on more than one occasion.

Thc standard of play has improved this season. Girls ca ll ing for special mention are: M. Sounness, who proved more val u ab le as centre half-back, w h ere she could direct the team, than in full-back line, where she played last year; R. Crosthwa i te, who has earned her co lours, doing excellent defence work in conjunction with Erminie Rose and Marian . R. Beresford deserves her co lours as full back, as, with few exceptions, she has been a brick wa ll. She was ably supported by M . Hamilton, who is new to the game this year. and H. Rose, the goalkeeper. "We ll done, He len!" After bringing M. Bunbury to the centre-forward, we ha ve been ab le to score more goa l s, as her work is genera ll y q u ick and accurate. P. Rose, w ith whom she changed p laces, a l so played a better game on the right wing and some valuable work was done M. Montgomery, with her powerfu l wo r k in the circle, is an asset hut, w it'h better tra ining next season, she sho ul d be quicker. D. Andrews,

another new player, has a lso several good goals to her credit, while although the difficult left wing position was he ld but feebly at first by M. Anderson, she suddenly realised what was required there and used her speed to advantage.

The improvement of the forward linc is very pleasing and we have not only shot the goals, but won fi ve out of the eight "A" matches. The main faults were s lowne ss 111 s hooting, and tackling their own men, while too of te n the full- backs neglected to clear the ball away by following through. However, as the season progressed, the mistakes became l ess obvious and it is felt that every hockey player has grasped the team spirit nece ssa ry for the game.

We tryout all new-comers in the "B" te am, and are hopefu l of some of its members for 1934. It has done well to win three out of four pract ice matches.

P.L.C. v St. H. .. won 4-1.

P:L .C. \' M.L.C. won 3-1

Two matches were played with the G niversity team, and although we were beaten both time s, it was exce ll ent M.L.e. were good e n o ugh to give us a practice match.

The Boarders challenged Day-girls to a morta l combat on the las t afternoon of the term-they had an overwhelming advantage, as very few of their opponents had p layed hockey . We hope this wi ll not be the case next yea r , when we have our own fie ld at the back door.

Hockey Colours were won by R. Crosthwaite, P. Rose, R. Beresford and M. Montgomery.

NETBALL.

(Captain : B. Henderson. )

"B" netball has been played by very ene r getic junior s this year, but, altho u gh they have been wi lli ng the i r throwing has been very Wi ld, while the shooting, especia ll y at matches, has been weak. Towards the end of term, we introduced the Basketba ll ru l es which are to be used for 1934. This was responsible for the improvement i n teamwork gcn(!rally. "Ve are hoping to arrange for "A" m.atches next year , and so give who do no t indulge in hockey a chance to resist that winter condition!

Resu l ts :-

P L.C. v St. H. lost 14--21

P.L.C. v V.S.C. lo st 10 -42

P.L.C. v M.L.C. lo s t 17-19

The inter-Form Challenge was played according to the Basketball rule s. Winner s: Form V.

TENNIS .

( Captain: P . Rose.)

The S l azenger Cup, 1932, was competed for by the following team :-M. Henderson, K. Baird, N . Henderson and P. Rose - which was, unfortunately, eliminated in the first round by St. Mary's, having lost on sets a lthough we scored more games.

We were more successful in the Schools' Tournament, however. P. Rose and R. Crosthwaite won the first and second rounds against P.G S. and S.H.H.S., but in the third round were defeated by D. Augustine and A. Ryan (S.H.H.S.). N. Hel1derson defeated L. Randell (M.L.C.), 6-5, 6-4, in the first round, then was beaten 2-6, 4-6, by B . Payne (P.M.S.). B. Henderson, being over age, was disqualified from the junior events when the tournament was postponed, and our hopes for her were shattered.

The Tennis Challenge, for which no "A" team p l ayer may compete, wa s won in December by R. Crosthwaite, who was awarded her colours.

The results of the Sandover Shield matches are:-

The fourth p lace in the HA" team was fi ll ed last year by P. Rose, who s howed marked improvement in her se rvice and cross court drives, and, in combination with N Henderson, held her place well. M. Henderson and K . Baird showed improvement and some excellent matches were played. This year their places have been filled by R. Crosthwaite, who is usually quite good, and H Rose, who should p lay more carefully.

B. Henderson came up from "C" team, although still under age, and R. Beresford was retain ed from 1932 , but we found great difficulty in choosing rest of the "B" t ea m from the five or so girls who had improved during the term. E. Rose and M. Sounncss were eventually chosen.

Many of the juniors have been prac · tising we ll , so several "D" matches were arranged. The "C" team was chosen from the best, but thcy die! not do very well. They are still yo un g enough to play for several more yea r ',. so we are hopeful of better times.

THE CONCERT AND FANCY DRESS PARTIES.

On August 29, the School produced two plays and an operetta, at St. Philip's Hall, Cottesloe. For weeks beforehan(!- many were busy preparing for it; all worked hard and undoubtedly deserved the success with which they wcre rewarded .

The first item was a dance by the Kindergarten: they were quick, kepI perfect time, and co-ordinated splendidly.

Miss Sharkey produced the play, "The Slippers of Cinderella," which IVa acted. Betty Love, as a boy, had a splendid manner-a swagger and a scorn of girls.

A delightful operetta, "Hiawatha's Childhood," was produced by Miss Stevens and Miss Hutchinson. The many parts were taken by members of III and n, with a Senior School choir to support them. A. Craze, H. Finch and E. Holland were soloists. The scel1ery and dressing were excellent and must have taken a lot of preparation: indeed the stag earned its own applause.

Dr. Summers produced Barrie's "Shall We Join the Ladies?" for which V and VI supplied the actresses. At the last moment Dr. Summers took the part of the Host, as the former principal "man" was ill, and she astounded us by learning the whole part perfectly in two nights. Edith Bennett's part of Sir Joseph Wrathie was exceptionally wel1 played.

The hall was full and the profits of the evening lwhich went to Cot Fund) wcre £16/10/1.

Another addition to the Cot Fund was madc by means of two Fancy Dress held at the end of 2nd Term-one for the Juniors was held in the afternoon, and the other, for the Seniors, in the evening. The. profits amounted to £4/11/-.

$ THE FLIPPANT FROLIC.

Our thanks are due to Miss Hutchinson and Miss Seeds man for their help, and to the mothers who provided the supper.

MR. PRATT 'S VISIT.

At the end of last term Mr. Pratt came to speak to us about the Auotralian Student Christian Movement. He had given a simi lar address last vear to Forms V and VI, but this year he spoke only to Form VI.

His talk was quite brief, bu; very intcresting. He explained that the movement was world-wide and set its aims before us, showing how necessary it was that young students should be able to li sten to a lecturer with an open mind.

He urged us to get in touch with the movement, especially those who intend going On to the University. Some of our members went to an 1\S.C.M. camp last year, and found it very interesting.

"EVENING."

Creeping softly across the land, Evening comes with a gentle hand. Birds are swiftly flying to nest, Animals too are seeking rest. One little flower nods her head 'Ti l at last she is safe in bed. Swiftly evening's shadows change 'Til at last in black they range; Peace and quiet pervades the landight has come with her dark hand.

Although only introduced in 1928, this function is now a School tradition: :hose who are returning give the party for those who will never come back. Of course it ought to be sad, but, as everyone is cheerfu l, they must be glad to be rid of each other. At last year's party there were fewer than usual; we first raised the dust in clouds by our dancing, had several competit ions, and then sat down to a plentiful

SOME MODERN SHAKESPEARE,

(From America-a New of J . Cacsar's Death, by M. Antony n.)

"Guys, boobs and si mps, hand me the sob-stuff.

This babe's come to plough Caesar, not to give him the once over.

A red-hot momma's man, and his bad acts wil1 live.

But, say, a real white man is sure hard to find.

So with this guy Caesar. Da t' nian Brutus

Has sure slobbered a bibful when hI! said Caesar had ambish.

Anyhow, Caesar's cashed in checks i t' he was,

And I reckon that is 'nufr said,

And Brutus is sure the cat's pyjamas.

• METAMORPHOSIS.

One morning, in 2nd Term, Fifth Form had an animal to dissect in a hygiene lesson . Miss Weber said it was a rabbit. Several of the Form reNe cte d on the size of the animal: what a fine healthy rabbit it must have been-a pity to kil1 such an animal, for it was remarkablY well developed. Miss Weber said it was a hare.

The dissecting progressed for som e time, and at la st penetrated as far a, the intestines. Then wonder and surmise filled the class-room-they had discovered a new spec ies of animaltheir "hare" had been eating fish. Miss Weber blushed, or at lea st she s hould have.

That afternoon we saw what we at first took to be the ghost of the School cat, but since it proved to be a reality , we concluded tha.t it was that blackishgrey "stray" that Fifth had used.
