FAREWELL At the end of the first term we said goodbye to Miss Crasher, who retired after fifteen years as Headmistress. During those fifteen years she guided the school through a period of great change, including a move to our present Papanui Road site and a growth to a roll of nearly 700. Her influence has been profound and valuable in every sphere of school life. Under her leadership the school's academic standard has been high as the steady stream of girls to the Universities and Professions indicates; the Old Girls' Association continued to grow under her patronage; and girls who passed through the school were influenced by her deep religious faith. Before her departure the Board of Governors commissioned a portrait; this now hangs in the main vestibule as a permanent reminder of an outstanding and much loved Headmistress. WELCOME

In the second term we welcomed Miss M. Mullan as our new Headmistress. After fifteen years service as a Headmistress in lndia,•Miss Mullan comes to us with a very wide experience. We look forward to the future under her leadership. OBITUARY IT 1s with regret that we record the death of Mr H. S. Williams on 23rd August, whose presence and talents will be sadly missed after twenty years of invaluable service to the College. The late Mr Williams was elected to the Trust Board in February 1944, and after his daughters Pamela and Elizabeth had left the school. Prior to his election he had worked keenly on the swimming bath project, completed in 1939. To the councils of the Board he brought a keen business mind, energy, forthright views and a deep Christian faith. For many years, he officiated as a judge at our Athletic Meetings and Mrs Williams donated a cup for the under-12 years long jump event. He was a familiar figure about the school during his visits of inspection, such was his keen interest in St. Margaret's. To his widow, son and daughters may we extend our deepest sympathy in their bereavement.

CHAPEL NOTES Chapel Prefects: Janet Green, Christine Reay, Janice Young, Susan Dorman, Ann Denham. Organists: Christine Ray, Alison Greenslade, Diana Solomon, Philippa Hall, Christine Jones, Rosemary Turnbull, Margaret Cordery, Margaret Wright, Joanne Lee. During Lent, on Ash Wednesday and Maundy Thursday, a number of confirmed girls attended the Corporate Communion Services at St. Mary's, Merivale. We held our Harvest Festival on Thursday, April 2nd and the produce was divided among Te Wai Pounamu, Mansfield House, Cottage Homes, Churchill Courts, Windsor House and The Community of the Sacred Name. The collections from the forms, during Lent, amounted to £265, including both the Junior and Senior school's collections and the money from the Copper Trail Our Direct Giving Service was held on Thursday, August 20th and the collection amounted to £72. Again part of our Chapel Funds has been allocated to our two Korean families, the Melanesian Mission, the Save the Children Fund, the Leper Mission, World Student Relief, Community of the Sacred Name, Dr . Barnado's Homes, S.P.C.A., Church Army, Council of Women's Church Work, Cottage Homes, Diocesan Extension Funds and Friends of the In addition, St. Margaret's College has set up a Cathedral. fund at the Bishop Azariah High School, Vijayavada in India, to endow two scholarships a year. On Friday, May 8th, the Bishop conducted a very moving End of Term service, the last in which Miss Crasher took part. During Archdeacon Wood's absence the Rev. Barker has generously given up his time to conduct our weekly services and we are grateful for his unfailing interest during the year. Our Confirmation Service was held this year in the Chapel and the following girls were confirmed: Margo Anderson, Jennifer Armstrong, Jocelyn Armstrong, Prudence Austin, Suniver Ballantyne, Ann Chapman, Barbara Cummack, Lynette Dennis, Barbara Ferner, Julia Foate, Mary-Louise Foate, Lesley Glasson, Christine Haley, Philippa Harris, Liani Holland, Philippa Holmes, Anthea Howard, Jane Howard, Jennifer Jenkins, Sarah Jennings, Nicola Johns, Phillipa Judd, Heather McNabb, Yvonne Mackay, Bridget Moore, Anne Penrose, Catherine Phillips, Gillian Polson, Christine Regnault, Nicola Reynolds, Shona Scanes, Heather Scott, Juliet Shand, Deborah Tait, Jen-

nifer Tallott, Dinah Thomas, Hilary Tomlin, Rosemary Turnbull, Patricia Turpin, Lucy Twyneham, Caroline White, Rosemary Wiffen, Raylene Wilkins, Rosemary Wilson, Christine Worthington. Three girls from Rangi-Ruru School were also confirmed, they were: Helen Green, Susan Lamb, Caroline Murie. We are now preparing for the Candlelighting Service on St. Margaret's Day, and for the Carol Service at the end of the year. S.C.M. NOTES Owing to other commitments, Miss Tutill has been unable to preside over the S.C.M.'s meetings this year. Her place has been taken by a committee of six seniors, but Miss Tutill has still given valuable help and we arc most grateful for her guidance. Our membership has increased again this year and members have enthusiastically taken part in lunch-hour meetings and car-cleaning alike. We have been fortunate in that we have been addressed this year by many excellent speakers. On various Friday lunch-hours the Art Room has entertained. The Rev. Father Bent who spoke of the problems in the Diocese of Polynesia, Dr. K. Mackenzie who told of his experiences as a Medical Missionary in Papua, The Rev. D. R. Harper whose subject was St. John's Theological College, Auckland, The Rev. Father Brian, a Brother of the Franciscan Order, Miss M. G. Havelaar, President of the Christchurch Branch of The Save the Children Fund, Mr H. G. Cotterill who showed a film of the Consecration of the two Assistant Bishops of Melanesia, Miss Gwyneth Williams, Dominion School's Secretary of the S.C.M. and the Very Rev. Dean Pyatt and the Rev. H. I. Hopkins. Throughout the year we have raised a considerable amount of money. Cake stalls, shoe cleaning and record playing during lunch-hours as well as individual contributions enabled us to contribute to Federation Funds, to send aid to the Greek child whom we support and to make a donation to Father Bent towards the building of a school. We are also sending clothes to Melanesia. Many sixth formers attended the Sixth Form Forum at Cashmere High School in the first term and in the third term St. Margaret's was the host school. We should like to thank all those who came to speak to us and we are particularly grateful to Miss Tutill on her continued interest in our activities.

ST. MARGARET'S COLLEGE MAGAZINE

ART ROOM NOTES The Art Room has, as usual, fulfilled all the functions peculiar to an art room, and also a great many others which are not normally associated with a room so named. It has, one might say, led a very full life. While this might merely mean that it has been full of girls - and on at least one occasion half full of their much more interesting counterpart, boys the Art Room has, in fact, acted as host to an astonishing number of people and activities. Drama groups, dancing groups, careers talks, S.C.M. meetings, jazz sessions and lunch-hour coffee schemes ( always, of course, in a good cause), a doll display in aid of Red Cross funds, French, Maths and Divinity lessons, and examinations - all have partaken of its hospitality. It acquired an air of sanctity when it was used as the prayer room during the C.M.S. Spring School ( and still wonders whether, through much contact with its concrete floor, the knees of the suppliants became, as did those of the venerable St. James', like unto camels' knees) . And for one brief hour it basked in the Episcopal Presence when the Bishop partook of afternoon tea at the conclusion of the Confirmation Service. The Art Room feels, in fact, that it can claim, with St. Paul, to have been all things to all men. But, lest those who read should fear that it has forgotten its special vocation, let it be repeated that it has housed an especially large number of art-ful occupants, whose activities have ranged wide in painting, craft and needlework. To three of its ardent devotees, Jenny Anderson, Ann Macarthur and Deborah Matheson, it bids a reluctant farewell this year, sorrowing because their decorative contributions will no longer adorn its walls. Perhaps the happiest tribute which can be paid to the Art Room is the fact that, far from having to entice girls into it, the Art Mistress has considerable difficulty in inducing them to leave, a state of affairs which, while at times tiresome, is nonetheless gratifying. RED CROSS NOTES There are one hundred and eighteen members of the Red Cross in the Junior School and twenty members in the Senior School. For the first time Form I and II have been to weekly classes in Home Nursing and we are grateful to Sister V ucetich and Sister Coles for taking them.

The Senior girls have had a First Aid Course with Miss Kelloway and six of them have done practical and written work for the Certificate. Five Greek families have been adopted and two of them have had letters and parcels. The other three families will receive Christmas parcels. At home and at school the girls have been very busy knitting to make quilts and making Friendship albums and bags. These gifts are sent overseas and we hope to foster international goodwill by contact with children of other lands. Gifts to the aged, many parcels of clothes to the needy have been packed and sent off from School. At the Founder's Day Service, St. Margaret's was asked to send a choir to lead the worship. This was an honour as there were present Senior Red Cross members of Canterbury. Over £55 has been raised by the girls' own efforts to provide food and vitamins to the undernourished children in S.E. Asia and in Austria. The parents of the girls have been most· cooperative and have in so many instances given the impetus to the work done by their children. LIBRARY NOTES This year the Library has seen many changes, all of which have been accomplished most successfully. These, however, could not have taken place without the cooperation of our loyal and hard-working band of Senior Librarians, fully backed by the Form Librarians. A more efficient exchange system of pockets has been introduced together with the election of Form Librarians who will now serve for one year. Once a fortnight every class now has a library period and this has encouraged the girls to use the library to its full capacity. The shelf arrangement has been altered to accommodate a further 230 new books, and our grateful thanks are extended to Mr Mintrom who has made many notices for the library's classifications. The book-cover competition was held again this year. The entries, which were of a high standard, were judged by Miss Tutill. The results were as follows:Senior - 1st. A. Macarthur; 2nd. R. Wood.

May next year's Senior Librarians have just as much fun and enjoyment as we have experienced this year.

ST. MARGARET's COLLEGE MAGAZINE MUSIC

NOTES

This year, the choir of St. Margaret's College and Christ's College combined to give a memorable performance of Purcell's "King Arthur". We showed, in this presentation. a higher standard of musicianship than the performance of Purcell in 1962. Into the first half we introduced flutes, clarinets and guitars which added variety and interest. The Senior Choir has also given strong support at our special services. Of these we feel we must specially mention the Confirmation, held for the first time in the school hall. The Intermediate Choir is strong and keen this year and the Junior Choir has grown considerably. Our orchestra has increased in size and capability and provided an excellent background for the Song and Dance Festival. Four cellists are the most recent addition to the orchestra. Much preparation is going into the Carol Service, due in early December, which will round off a busy and most successful year. All who have taken part in music-making this year wish to thank Mrs Allison for her careful training. DRAMA

NOTES

The Drama Club has had an active and interesting year. In the second term the senior members of the clubs were fortunate to be invited to take part in T. S. Eliot's "Murder in the Cathedral" with Christ's College. The chorus of the women of Canterbury consisted of Jennifer Anderson, Suzanne Bullock, Claire Cordery, Beth Dougall, Annette Dynes, Jillian Farmer, Rosemary Hawkins, Mary Holmes, Ann Macarthur, Mary Matheson, Virginia Matson, Cynthia Roberts, Rosemary Turnbull, Elizabeth Wilkin, Jan Young. The 'Press' published the following account on Monday, 20th July, 1964 "Murder in Cathedrat) - Presentation by Schools "One would find it hard to imagine a more successful production of 'Murder in the Cathedral' than the one presented by St. Margarets' College and Christ's College. "A three-night season in Christ's College Chapel ended on Saturday night, but it would be a great pity if any opportunity were not provided for further performances for the general public. The whole cast showed a maturity of presentation and

interpretation which, strengthened by an impressive atmosphere of devotion, would be difficult to reproduce even with experienced adult actors. "That each actor appreciated both the dramatic significance of his lines, and their relevance to contemporary problems was at all times obvious. The players, especially the magnificently intelligible chorus of women, communicated the fears the tension, the bewilderment and the anguish of a situation which seemed out of control-a situation which seemed to point to hopeless disaster. Had the play been about a contemporary leader who decided to initiate an atomic war, it could not have had a greater sense of urgency. "Standing nobly in the centre of the conflict was a Becket who had dignity, authority, and the compassion of a man touched by God. His tempters were plausible both as individuals and as symbols; and his murderers were convincingly played as men with a reasonable, if unpleasant, duty to perform. "The play was visually dramatic: costume, lighting and grouping, used imaginatively against the background of the church, each made a calculated contribution to the play's impact. The use made of sound-the crashing volume from the organ, the pounding on the church doors, the robust chanting of plainsong, the cleverly orchestrated voices of the chorus these all gave the play exciting moments.

"Every word in Eliot's demanding text was clearly audible and the emphasis of the verse given its full weight. One felt that there was little of what this important play had to say that was not realised by this outstanding production". We are extremely grateful to Mrs D. Corrick and Mr N. A. H. Crease who gave us such valuable training. We would also like to thank Mrs Crease for her help with our costumes and for entertaining the cast and parents at a delightful supper after the final performance. In the third term an entertaining evening of music and drama was held at which two one act plays were performed. The fifth formers period "drawing room" production - "The Spinsters of Lushe", contrasted with "Magic in a Mirror", a Chinese fantasy performed by fourth form members of the Club. Both plays were enjoyed by actors and audience and we would like to thank Mrs Corrick who produced these plays and has given up so much time to train the Drama Club throughout the year. DIALECTIC SOCIETY Debating has continued to be a popular interest amongst juniors and seniors this year. The Annual Meeting resulted in the unanimous re-election of Mrs S. Penney as President. Ann Macarthur was elected secretary, and a committee of Rowan Cunningham, Jillian Farmer, Mary Holmes; and two junior representatives, Susan Wagner and Catherine Wilkin, were also chosen. We have not restricted attendance of the Dialectic Society's meetings to the thirty active members, and many others have derived enjoyment and information from various debates this year. In the first term, an impromptu speech contest revealed some talent in public-speaking amongst the juniors, and later the topic "That School Pupils Hairstyles should be Uniform", was enjoyed by speakers and audience. "That the Beatles express Youths' Rebellion against the Modern Industrial Age", was debated by the seniors before an audience of fifty girls and judged by Mrs R. M. Ruthven. A more serious subject was "That Anzac Day should be strictly observed as a National Commemoration of Sacrifice and Freedom", and this provided further interest. In the second term, two debates were held against Shirley

ST.

MARGARET'S

COLLEGE

MAGAZINE

Boys' High School in our school library. Catherine Wilkin, Jennifer Drake and Deborah Rawson affirmed the motion "That the expense of flights to the moon is justified", and the seniors, represented by Jillian Farmer, Rowan Cunningham and Denise Tacker were convinced "That Competition is Beneficial to Society". Both debates were amusing and interesting, and the judge, Mr W. K. L. Dougall, to whom we are very grateful, awarded the junior debate to the negative, and declared the senior debate a draw. The evening concluded with an entertaining supper in the library foyer. Further debates against Christchurch Girls' High School and the Fathers have been arranged for the remainder of the year. We should like to thank the senior girls who have judged and chaired the debates, and Mrs Penney for her guidance and interest in the activity of the club. INFANT DEPARTMENT NOTES It was with regret that the Primers said goodbye in August to Mrs M. C. Budge who had been the Infant Mistress for several years, and had so sympathetically and kindly helped newcomers become established on the path of learning. A born teacher, Mrs Budge soon had the confidence of even the most diffident five-year-old and with her magic touch achieved a very high standard of work with the children. We wish her many happy years of retirement in the United Kingdom. In her place we welcome Mrs A. A. Anderson and hope she will be very happy with us. Sports' Day in November, Parents' Day and the Primary School Prize-giving were highlights of the third term in 1963. A simple Nativity Play was performed by the Primers to an audience of parents on Open Day after they had seen the children's work. In the first term of this year the children shared, as before, in the "giving" in the Harvest Festival and in the Lenten Offering. Traffic Officer, Mrs Roberts, visited the Infant Department during the year showing pictures and giving interesting Road Safety lessons. PRIMARY SCHOOL NOTES The Primary School roll now stands at 267. There has been one change in the staff when Mrs M. Budge, our Infant

Mistress, left in August to return to the United Kingdom. Her position has been filled by Mrs A. A. Anderson. Many girls again competed successfully in the annual Primary Schools' Horticultural Show. Replacing the Song and Accompaniment Contest and the Memorised Music Contests this year was an entertainment provided by all the Standard classes. Class singing was interspersed with speech, pianoforte and solo singing items and made a programme greatly enjoyed by a good audience of parents. Standard IV and Forms I and II provided the musical part of a folk song and dance evening, and Standard IV also contributed a folk dance. On another oGcasion Standards I, II and III provided entertainment for parents and the rest of the Primary School when they produced in costume two operettas "The Magic Basket" and "Bluebeard". Both were delightfully presented. The Primary School joined with the Senior School in a farewell party for Miss J. P. Crosher at the end of the first term. In the Poster Competition held by the Canterbury Savings Bank to promote savings we congratulate Clare Buchanan who gained first place in her age group. In the essay competition held at the same time Judith Wilson was placed first in her class while several St. Margaret's girls were commended in both competitions. The Traffic Officers continue to do duty at the Papanui Road crossing which is manned by Form II girls, and they also held bicycle inspections and gave instruction on Road Safety to all classes. Museum lessons continue to be offered to classes from Standard III to Form II who have Social Study and Nature Study work strengthened and supplemented in this way. The top four classes attended Holy Week services at the Cathedral. Standard IV and Forms I and II had the opportunity of hearing the Vienna Boys' Choir while all the Standard classes attended the New Zealand Ballet Company's performance for schools of the ballet "Coppelia".

KILBURN HOUSE NOTES We have been lucky to have Mrs Brooks as our Senior Matron all year and Mrs Cassidy as Assistant Matron in the first and third terms. We were sorry to lose Mrs Crotty on account of ill health but we are lucky having Miss Shand in her place. Our annual picnic was held at Church Bay where we all spent a wonderful day sun-bathing and swimming. One of our most memorable evenings was a farewell film evening for Miss Crosher. Everyone was very sorry at having to say goodbye to her at the end of the first term, but we were pleased to welcome Miss Mullan at the beginning of the second term. During the year we have been taken to many entertainments, the most enjoyable of which were "Julius Caesar", "The King and I" and the film "55 Days at Peking". The seniors enjoyed their evenings at the school dances and everyone enjoyed seeing the debutantes before their Ball. During the year we have seen many enjoyable films some being: "Romanoff and Juliet", "Come September", and "Carve her Name with Pride". I would like to thank Mr Tacker, Mr Taylor, Mr Solomon, Mr Turnbull and Mr Richards for giving up their Saturday evenings to show these films to us. On looking back, the year has been very successful and happy owing to the cooperation and assistance of all the girls. KONINI HOUSE NOTES Although Konini have not shone brilliantly this year, we have not had an unsuccessful year, in the sporting if not the scholastic field. With a fine effort in the swimming sports we improved on last year's performance by coming third, the juniors being specially successful in gaining points. We were very proud of the senior and junior relay teams who came second and third respectively. We were even more successful in the athletic sports when we won the junior section and came second in the senior. The whole house relay was a good combination resulting in third place after a close finish. The basketball tournament this year was played in the Round Robin method and this gave all the girls a chance to play for the house. Unfortunately lack of time prevented the

hockey tournament from being played in this way. Consequently we had only one game although this was enjoyed by all. A large number of Konini girls have been successful both in the Life Saving Examinations held in Term One and the Gymnastic Examinations held in Term Three. Finally, I would like to thank my Vice-Captain who has been so helpful during the year and to wish Konini good luck for the future. Sports Awards: AthleticsPocket Rea warded: Robyn Hammond.

KOWHAI HOUSE NOTES 1964 has been a very full and successful year for Kowhai. Throughout the year we have maintained a high standard. In the Swimming Sports, Kowhai did extremely well, winning by a wide margin in overall points and the Junior and Senior Relays both broke records. Kowhai also won the Senior Section of the Athletic Sports and came second to Konini in the Junior section, again the Junior Relay team broke the record. Unfortunately the Captain and Vice-Captain could not maintain this high standard in the House Captains' novelty race. The House won the Bates House Cup at the end of both the first and second terms. The second term ended with the House Hockey and Basketball Competitions. The Hockey competition was a knock-out tournament. Kowhai played three matches winning the final against Rimu 2-1. The Basketball was organized into a bigger

competition with each House entering more teams who played for a shorter time. Kowhai was the eventual winner.

MATIPO HOUSE NOTES This year has not been without successes for Matipo and, although we have not shone in scholastic field, the members of the House have never lacked enthusiasm and house spirit. Unfortunately the House failed to distinguish itself in the Swimming Sports, but we would like to thank all those who earned valuable marks for the House by gaining life-saving awards. The Juniors saved the honour of the House in the Athleti Sports, for the Junior Champion and the Junior Runner-up were both Matipo girls and as a result of these successes Matipo finished third in the Junior points.

During the winter term the Basketball and Hockey Tournaments were held and, although none of our teams was placed, there was certainly no lack of determination. Gymnastics proved to be a sport at which Matipo girls excelled, many girls earning their iron and badge awards, three their silver and one her Leader Award. At the end of Term I Matipo tied with Rata for 1st place in the Sally Mills Cup and in the second term we were awarded this Cup again with the enviable total of 1 conduct mark! Unfortunately the weekly totals were not great enough to win the Bate's House Cup, but perhaps with more mentions and less conduct marks in 1965 it may be possible. May I take this opportunity to thank my Vice-Captain, Robyn Leeming, for her unfailing support throughout the year and also the members of the House for their cooperation.

RATA HOUSE NOTES Although Rata has not greatly distinquished herself this year, her members have shown a keen interest in all activities and have achieved some good results. At the Athletic Sports we did not excel in the individual events, but were able to gain first in the Whole House Relay, the House Captains' Novelty Race and second in the Junior Relay. Again Rata did not gain many points in the swimming sports, but we all enjoyed a day of exciting competition. This year the inter-house basketball was played in the form of a round-robin tournament in which each house entered four teams. This aroused much enthusiasm among the girls.

The hockey was played as usual as a knock-out tournament, we managed to reach the semi-finals in which we were beaten by Kowhai. In the gymnastic and life-saving examinations many of our girls were successful. In both the first and second terms we were able to gain second place in the Bate's House Cup, and also came first equal with Matipo in the first term and second in the second term in the Sally Mills Conduct Mark Cup. Finally, I wish to thank my vice-captain, Penny Harley, for her unfailing assistance during the year, and also to all those who have contributed towards house points by mentions, workbars and sporting achievements. Good luck to my successor and to all those returning next year. Awards 1964: AthleticsPockets: Rosemary Woods. BasketballColour Re-awarded: Penny Harley.

RIMU

HOUSE

NOTES

Although Rimu has been conserving a little of her energy for an outstanding display of greatness next year she has still achieved very good results in most activities. In spite of praiseworthy efforts by members, especially those in the third and fourth forms, and Adrienne Taylor, Rowan Cunningham, Lynette Redmond, Philippa Preston, Janet McLellan and Wendy Forrester, the Bate's House Cup has so far evaded our shelves. The Sally Mills Cup has behaved in the same way. We had more success in the sporting field, however: the swimming sports in the first term left Rimu, as last year, in second place. The Athletic Sports followed very soon afterwards. The Senior House Relay team and Sack House Relay team were first in their events and the house is to be congratulated for running second in the Whole House Relay. In the final result we were placed third. In the Inter-House Basketball matches this year each house contributed four teams rather than the usual one and our

teams achieved a close second place. The final match of the House Hockey Competitions was fought bravely by our team who lost to Kowhai by a very narrow margin. I would like to thank all House members for their support and cooperation during the year; Beth Lemon for her ready and invaluable help with sports organisation; and finally my vice-captain for being a constant source of assistance and inspiration during the year.

La t year was a mo t successful one for the four teams. The B and Junior teams each won their grade while the A and C teams were first equal in theirs. In ovember, the school team played the Old Girls' for the Betty Thomas Tenni Cup. Although the Old Girls' won, we look forward to another enjoyable morning's tennis this year. In the House Tennis at the end of last year Rata won the Senior ection and Rata and Rimu tied for th Junior. The Senior Championship was won by Joy Brander with Barbara Saunder runner-up; Elizabeth Russell won the Intermediate Section from Angela Ramsay; and in the Junior Section Ann Lawrence defeated Sally Whyte. The Quadrangular Tournament with Craighead, Rangi Ruru and St. Hilda' wa thi year held in Timaru.

The Tennis team consisted of C. Cox, P. Lane, A. Lawrence and C. Reay. This season four teams have again been entered in the Inter-Secondary School Competition, the Junior team now consisting of third and fourth formers. A tennis ladder has been organised and this has encouraged more interest, particularly in the form of challenges. Finally, we would like to thank Miss Mangos and Miss Morgan for the help they have given in coaching us.

We would like to thank also the staff and senior girls for their invaluable aid which made the sports such a success, and thanks also to all the girls who did pool duty during the lunch break. To Miss Mangos and Miss Morgan, we would like to give our very special thanks for the time and energy they have put into coaching both diving and swimming. Their unfailing enthusiasm and assistance undoubtedly made the swimming season so successful and enjoyable.

ATHLETIC

NOTES

The Athletic Sports were held at Rugby Park on March 19th. Unfortunately, the standard among the Seniors was not as high as usual, and this rather restricted the school's success to eighth position in the Inter-Secondary Schools' Sports The organisation and smooth running of the sports, was the result of much hard work by staff members, officials, judges, Miss Mangos and Miss Morgan. To these people we give our sincere thanks. We are also very grateful to Mrs Dendle for making the presentation of cups. Congratulations to Jacky Halliday, Vivienne Fox and the Junior relay team members, all for gaining second places in the Inter-School Sports. Special congratulations go to Alison Dendle for breaking the Junior Inter-School high jump record with a jump of 4ft. Bins. The previous record was 4ft. 7ins. Inter-Secondary

teams. On the whole the season was a most successful one for all teams, especialty the 'A' team. This year the Winter Tournament was held at St. Margaret's on 23rd July, and it proved most successful in every way. St. Margaret's defeated St. Hilda's, 26-14, and in the afternoon they went on to defeat Craighead, 24-9. However, at the South Island Secondary Schools' Tournament, held in Dunedin, the 'A' team with Marilyn Morris replacing Raylene Wilkins, had their biggest success and surprise of the season. They won the five games in their section and also their semi-final match against Southland Girls' High School, who were last year's tournament winners. Nelsort College defeated St. Margaret's in the play-off for the final game, and this placed St. Margaret's third in the Tournament. Throughout the season many people have willingly helped us with organisation and refereering, and to them, we are very grateful. Our special thanks goes to Ruth Perkins, Miss Finney and finally, Miss Mangos.

CRA MER BASKETBALL NOTES Again this year, the Saturday basketball matches proved very beneficial to all players. Unfortunately, having to provide a team to play throughout the May holidays prevented us from obtaining a position in our section. However, we are very grateful to those girls who did fill positions for us. We are very proud of Jan Thatcher and Penny Harley, who were chosen for the Canterbury Second Grade Representative team, and we express our congratulations to them.

HOCKEY This season has been a very enjoyable one for all teams. We have been able to use our own field this year; this has encouraged more girls to spend their spare moments with a stick and ball. Fortunately, all matches were able to be played in the Inter-School competition and the A and E Teams won their respective grades. The A team in its nine matches scored 61 goals with only one goal scored against them. An admirable record. Our Third Form team had a very good run to win their section, but lost to Papanui in the final. St. Margaret's were hostesses this year for the Triangular Hockey Tournament with Craighead and St. Hilda's. Our A team, although unpredictable, certainly rose to the occasion during these matches and defeated both teams. In the evening we entertained our visitors in the School Hall with a film, "On the Beach", followed by supper. Altogether, a most enjoyable tournament. This year the House Hockey Shield was retained by Kowhai, although they were soundly tested by Rimu in the final. During these matches girls were able to obtain their umpiring whistles. Alison Greenslade, Nicola Clark, Jennifer Pryor, Jane Paterson, Heather Preston, Judy Turner, Andrea Twyneham and Juliana Stewart were successful in this. The school was well represented in Canterbury Secondary Schools' Representative Team. Selected were Alison Greenslade and Susan Thomson, together with Christine Reay as captain and Adrienne Taylor as a reserve. In our first match we played Marlborough B whom we defeated 5-1 but in our second against the Varsity Tournament team we lost 5-2. Once again we entered in the Secondary School Girls' Hockey Tournament, this year held in Gore. Eleven teams competed and these included two teams from the North Island, one from Marlborough, two others from Christchurch and the rest from Southland and Otago. We won our first three matches and although we lost to Gore in our next game, hockey of a high standard was reached and Gore went on to win the Tournament. Our last game against Mahurangi from Auckland, we played in the snow and the result was a draw. St. Margaret's and this team were placed second equal in their section. The Tournament was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we are indeed, grateful to Miss Morgan for taking us. We would like to thank Miss Morgan for her valuable help and coaching during the season. We are also grateful to Miss

CRANMER After winning the Second Grade Competition last year, the Cranmer team was this season entered in the Senior Reserve Grade. Our results were varied but we had much harder games and these helped to improve our hockey. The team consisted of the following players: S. Allan, J. Banks, A. Clark, C. Cox, A. Greenslade, D. Harkness, W. Macfarlane, J. Paterson, H. Preston, J. Pryor, A. Ramsay, C. Reay, J. Sandston, P. Smart, J. Stewart, A. Taylor, S. Thomson, C. Williams, J. Young. On Queen's Birthday, we played in the six-a-side tournament. We reached the final, but after a very close game were beaten 1-0 by Shirley. The following girls took part. C. Cox, A. Greenslade, D. Harkness, C. Reay, A. Taylor, S. Thomson. Nearly every Saturday, we had to provide one or two umpires for the lower grade matches and as a result we gained confidence before sitting our umpiring whistles. Susan Thomson and Christine Reay were chosen for the Canterbury Representative Senior Reserve A Team while Adrienne Taylor was chosen for the B Team. Both teams played at Timaru on 15th August, the A Team losing against South Canterbury A 5-2 and the B Team defeating the South Canterbury B 3-1. I would like to thank all members of the team for their support and cooperation throughout the season especially Alison Greenslade, my vice-captain. Miss Morgan's encouragement from the sideline was a decided incentive and we also appreciated the interest shown by many parents. GOLF NOTES On Saturday, 26th September, the Girls' Inter-School Golf Competition for the C. S. Peate Cup was held at the Harewood Golf Course. This year the tournament was arranged on a challenge basis, Rangi Ruru challenging St. Margaret's, the holders of the Cup. Owing to lack of time, singles only were played in the morning, and St. Margaret's won by six matches to two. We should like to thank Miss Morgan for helping to organize the match, and also Alison Greenslade, who caddied so capably, both for our side and for the opposition. The team was: D. Harkness, captain; A. Denham, A. Ramsay, S. Hobbs, A. Twyneham, J. Bell. Reserve: N. Clark.

JUNIOR SCHOOL GAMES NOTES Swimming Notes: The sports were held on Tuesday, 3rd March. Tui Shipston won the Form I and II championship with the maximum 25 points. Caroline Cottrell was runner-up with 9 points. The Standard 3 and 4 championship was won by Sally Nicholls with 13 points and Janet Suckling was runner-up with 9 points. Tui broke the three records in the championship events, an outstanding performance. 50 yards freestyle time 30.8secs., 25 yards breaststroke 18.3secs., and 15.8 for the 25 yards backstroke. The only other record was set up by Deborah Smith in the 25 yards freestyle (non-championship) Forms I and II in a time of 17 .4secs. A new grandstand was being built at the Centennial Pool this year, so unfortunately the Inter-Primary School Swimming Sports were unable to be held. Tennis Notes: Once more we did not enter any teams in the Primary School Competition at Wilding Park played on Saturday mornings. It is hoped that next year there will' be a sufficient number of girls able to play in this competition. Standard 3 and 4 have again had massed coaching during the first term and with the number of courts available have been able to practise what they have been taught. Twenty-two girls from Form I and II entered in the Primary School Championship played at Wilding Park. This was a record entry from St. Margaret's. Caroline Cottrell has been the most successful competitor and she is to play in the quarter-finals of the A Grade championship later in the term. Basketball Notes: The Basketball season was again a very busy one. The Mary Weathered Trophy was played for on the school courts every Thursday afternoon. This year St. Mark's, Opawa entered the competition which meant that with six teams participating there was no bye. Selwyn House were the winners with St. Margaret's runners-up. Two teams entered in the Primary School Competition played on a Friday afternoon. The A team had more success than in past years and the experience that was gained during these matches should help the girls to attain places in the 3rd form teams next year.

ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS IS THE SOUTH-EAST ASIAN SITUATION A MENACE TO NEW ZEALAND? Five thousand five hundred miles away, near a town called Djakarta, lives a boy named Kumba. The region in which he lives consists of the Inda-Chinese peninsula and the Malaysian archipelago, which form a great wall ( with a few narrow gateways) between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. This is SouthEast Asia. Because of its cross-roads situation, the area has always been exposed to external influences, and now, more than ever before, the infiltration of Communism into South-East Asia threatens the free nations of the world. Distance is no longer a bar to aggression, and the mainland and islands of the region form a series of stepping-stones which could carry Communism from China to our Australasian doorstep. By name the problem areas are familiar to us - Vietnam, Laos, Sarawak - every day they glare at u from the newspaper, until we become accustomed to their ominous ring and apathetically turn to more palatable news of Snell's victories, or Ringo's tonsils. ow the time has come for you and me to consider the complexities and dangers of the South-East Asian situation and their implications for New Zealand. Briefly, the cause of the trouble is that Chinese Communism is filling the vacuum formed by the withdrawal of France from Indo-China, which now consists of four independent states Vietnam is divided into two governments, the northern communist and the southern democratic, whilst Laos and Cambodia are nominally neutral. If the communists gain further success in their relentless march, a national communist government will be established, and it is for this reason that America, in particular, has sent troops to support South Vietnam against the increased northern pressure. If South Vietnam were to submit, Thailand, lying directly east would follow, then the Malaysian states and Singaoore, and soon this vast area would form a powerful Communist bloc, isolating Australasia and drastically affecting our economy. Furthermore, the expansion of Communism could result in

a third World War led by China against America. The Malayan proverb: "When elephants clash it is the grass that is destroyed", is, I am afraid, optimistic, for the result of such a war would probably be the annihilation of humanity. The threat of World War, created by Communist expansion beyond the bamboo curtain, is serious and South-East Asia's internal problems are stimulating Communistic growth. Admidst turmoil and poverty Communism grips, breeds and thrives. The free world has had little respite from crisis and tension caused by the employment of Communist tactics as exemplified formerly in the Malayan states and now in Laos and South Vietnam. Moreover, the strife between Malaysia and the Philippines over Sabah and Indonesia's confrontation policy towards Malaysia are complicating factors. New Zealand is on friendly diplomatic terms with Indonesia and deals generously with her students under the Colombo Plan, but Mr Holyoake recently condemned President Sukarno's threat to crush the Malaysian Federation. We are obliged to support Malaysia as a fell ow member of the British Commonwealth. In South-East Asia, Kumba is one of one hundred and eighty millon people. He wears a loin-cloth and carries a ricebowl. His soul aches for opportunity and constant is the craving in his belly. To Kumba, Communism offers an attractive world of godlessness and materialism. Whilst satisfying the individual the totalitarian government seeks world domination. Those "great jokers" the "Aussies and the Kiwis" are therefore in a dangerous position. Our vast, affluent and underpopulated lands are tempting indeed to an impoverished population, which rapidly increases and presses for space. In this difficult and confusing situation the South East Asia Treaty Organisation offers the brightest hope. Our membership of S.E.A.T.O. and of A.N.Z.U.S. (the Australia, New Zealand and United States pact) imposes a major obligation and illustrates the interdependence of the modern world. S.E.A.T.O. was formed for mutual defence, but in developing social and economic welfare, and providing technical assistance, it could create a bridge of understanding between East and West. Such organisations alone, however, cannot eradicate the terrorist influence. Kumba is susceptible to the rabid ideas of Communism but you and I are aware of their malignity. We have to offer what Communism denies - individual freedom

and security-the spiritual as well as the material, for Kumba cannot live on rice alone. Today, the South-East Asian situation is a stark and dangerous menace to New Zealand. But I believe that increased trade with South-East Asia, the promotion of well-being amongst its inhabitants, and our dedication to the cause of freedom, could preserve our way of life and ensure a brighter future for Kumba. - Ann Macarthur, 6A. Co-winner of Myers Cup. BEATLEMANIA When you hear the Beatles, whether they are on a stage or on a record, do you feel faint, scream hysterically, or roll about on the floor? If you can truthfully answer "yes" to any one of these questions you have undoubtedly experienced a sympton of Beatlemania. Beatlemania is a phenomenon which can strike a person at any age, without any warning. Little is known about it except that it is contagious, causes twitching hysteria and has not yet proved fatal. Many people regard it as a source of amusement and actually attend performances by the Beatles in order to witness Beatlemania in person. No one is more surprised that these people to feel tears streaming down their cheeks and to find themselves joining the Beatle fans in screaming frantically for more. However, funny as it may be to witness, Beatlemania is something which must be considered seriously; both by its addicts, and for its consequences. Few Beatlemaniacs consider their addiction to be 'funny'. To the majority of them it is an immensely serious thing. They are, in effect, sub-consciously attempting to stop the passage of time, to create an eternal 'now' filled only by the music of the Beatles with its ability to drown out all fears of past and future. But Beatlemania is more than an escape from the troubles and uncertainities of life, it is a chance to release powerful feelings which must be largely suppressed in this world of convention. To scream, to cry, to dance for pure joy, these are things which we, dominated and overwhelmed by tradition, cannot do wherever we wish. Expression of emotions whenever we have an irresistable urge to do so is something which is not 'done' in our society today, and to defy this unwritten rule is to become an outcast, someone who is regarded as eccentric. It is the youth of the world, struggling from childhood to

independence, that is most affected by the pressing bonds of convention. This is the time in a person's life when control of the emotions is hardest and this is the time when it is essential that there be some outlet for releasing pent-up feelings in as harmless a way as possible. Beatlemania offers an excuse to pull out one's hair, and faint with happiness, and generally escape the demands of society, but Beatlemania is not harmless. It is more than thousands of fans screaming merrily at four boys on a stage, it is a potentially dangerous weapon. So much so, that a recent visit by the Beatles to Glasgow left an aftermath of three overturned cars and several others damaged, as well as seven plate-glass shops windows smashed. One hundred and fifty police officers were required to control the crowd. Beatlemania has grown into a force to be reckoned with, for it contains the force of the masses, and in this lies its danger. In its simplest interpretation as a legitimate means of 'going mad', Beatlemania is an acceptable, ever necessary constituent of life for many people and thus is comparatively harmless; but at its worst, it becomes a manifestation of mob hysteria where no single person can be held responsible for his actions and the mob is obsessed with aim - to attain its hopes and desires which are somehow symbolised in four boys with long hair and guitars. It is then that Beatlemania over-turns cars and smashes windows, for no longer is it an expression of eagerness and enthusiasm, now it is a dark cloud of frustrated desires doomed to failure. But because there is always hope, the mobs must keep striving for the attainment of its goals and, inevitably, Beatlemania turns into a threat: not only to the Beatles themselves, but to thousands of fans, to police and to property. Beatlemania must be controlled, allowed only in small doses if society is to retain it sanity. Do you pride yourself on anti-Beatle feelings and scorn the millions of fans all over the world who rally to the call: "John and George and Ringo and Paul Yeah, yeah, we love 'em all". Perhaps you feel that those who succumb to Beatlemania are immature and unstable in outlook. If so, the chances are that you feel you are far more mature and stable, but in reality, by suppressing your emotions, you may be very close to having a nervous breakdown. Anyway, haven't you ever wished for an excuse to scream? - Rowan Cunningham, 6A. Co-winner of Myers Cup.

"IS GAMBLING BECOMING OUR NATIONAL SPORT"? The tennis club needs a new clubhou e, but how can they raise the money? One bright person suggests "a higher membership fee". o. Another suggests a bottle drive. They had one last year. Then someone brings up the idea of a raffle. Everyone like raffle so they decide to have one - first prize, a transistor radio; second prize, free membership fee into th club and third prize, a free raffle ticket in next year' raffle. The tickets are sold and - hey presto! The clubhouse i there. You think! a raffle. What a good idea to raise money! Everyone likes to have a gamble. There I have said the mo t important word in my speech. In case there is anyone here who doesn't know what it means I quote from the dictionary: "To gamble: to play games of chance for ( especially high) money stakes". This means that a raffle is nothing more than a small scale gamble-harmle enough it may seem but it is still a pure gamble. And how many of us can say we have never bought a raffle ticket, never paid over the few shillings with the cheerful optimistic hope "Well, someone ha to win it". From raffles to local grocery competitions. Again they fall into the category of gambling, for which housewifes would not like figuratively speaking "something for nothing" when all one has to do is colour in a picture and write a slogan for Krunchy Corn Flakes or ome other product. No one can really object to these raffles and competitions as they are a means of satisfying the appetite of the amateur gambler-you and me, putting a little excitement into life. However, their main fault is that they get you into the mood for gambling and prepare the way for the most publicised gambling such as horse racing and the lotteries. In New Zealand it is considered fashionable to go to the races and breeding and training horses is a practised profession. Many go for the enjoyment of a race and the excitement of winning a few pounds. Yet there are people to whom racing i just another betting game. They place substantial sums of money on horses and do not even bother to go to the race course to watch them run. It is simply another form of gambling where the hor es are incidental. Luckily we are not betting on human races yet. There also is the man who trival away all his wages on racing and doe not provide food and clothes for his family.

He always thinks "perhaps I will be lucky next time", but next time never comes. The Golden Kiwi lottery is getting bigger and better each year. For a five shilling ticket, you have the exciting chance of winning £12,000 or in company with thousands of others, the exciting chance of losing your five shillings! You think it would be easy to think of something to do with £12,000. Yet overseas terrific wins in football pools and lotteries have brought many problems to those concerned, including the splitting up of families. The kidnapping of Graham Thorne in Australia, presumably connected with his family's large winnings gives us a tragic reminder of what can happen to "lucky" winners. Could this happen in New Zealand? Is Gambling becoming our national sport that is our dominant leisure pastime? Not yet, but it could unless we do something about it. Well, why do people gamble? For the people who place small sums it is just for a harmless thrill but the people who gamble heavily often can't help themselves. They must have the excitement and they have not any hobbies usually to give them that interest in life. This is a way to stop excess gambling, to encourage young people to have more occupations and hobbies to interest them. This will not stop all gambling but if everyone in ew Zealand took a good long look at gambling, they would realise how strong its influence is and how vicious it can be; and that if we are not careful it will eventually become, as cynically put, our national sport ! - Catherine Wilkin, 4A.

HAVE THE IDEALS OF OLYMPIC GAMES BEEN PRESERVED? On October the 10th, 1964, the huge bowl inside the Nationai Stadium of Tokyo leapt into flame. Does this flame, which symbolizes the Olympic Games, mean the same to us as it did to the Greeks? It was kindled in the ancient city of Olympia, and it was here, three thousand years ago that the games began. The valley of Olympia was held sacred to Zeus and a fire burned perpetually at his altar. The Greeks believed that he kept high festival every four years. Warriors and fighting men laid down their arms and made a pilgrimage to Olympia. From these gathering of warriors the Olympic Games were born. The athletic contests formed part of the festival, for the Greeks thought they were rites pleasing to the gods. The Games means everything to the Greeks. Nothing was more important. The only award given to the champions was a crown of olives, but this was the most coveted prize a man could attain. When he returned to his city he was treated like a god. The ideals of the early Games gave a feeling of peace and unity amongst the Greeks. They were one people when they had something in common to strive for and admire. It pleased them to pjt their strength against each other in friendly contest. They believed firmly that the spiritual and cultural side of life must be allied with physical fitness. But as the glory of Greece decayed, so did the ideals of the Olympic Games. Victors were demanding rewards in money and by 394 A.D. they were banned as pagan festivals. The Olympic spirit and ideals lay dormant for 1500 years. Then, at Athens in 1896 the first of the modern Olympic Games were declared open. They were the inspiration of a Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who saw in them a means of fostermg peace. He summed up the Olympic ideals in these historic words: "The important thing in the Olympic Games i not winning, but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well". However his ideals could not overcome international strife as he had hoped the Games were not held during the first and second world wars. To the Greeks, this would have been sacrilege. Our world is on a far greater scale than that of Greece,

but so are our Games. In this way the ideals of the Olympic Games have not been preserved. Anybody nominated to represent a country may take part There are no barriers of class, age or colour. The only-but vital-rule is that competitors must not earn their living or receive any money from sport. Also there are no prizes, but the Olympic gold medal means the same to us as the olives did to the Greeks. It is the most coveted award any sportsman can hope to gain. Here the true Olympic spirit has been upheld. Only once have the Olympic Games been staged against a background of international tension. This was in 1936 when the vast stadium in Berlin, built to foster sport and friendship was turned suddenly into a cauldron of hatred. Hitler was using the Games to further his gloating boasts of German superiority. However, Jesse Owens, one of the negroes whom he despised, quickly dispelled this illusion by winning four gold medals. Yet, despite the background of propaganda, national jealousy did not exist among the athletes themselves. Some of the ideals of the Olympic Games have not been preserved. They no longer have a religious significance, nor can they overcome international strife. Also various "incidents" of frailty occur within the Olympic Village. Yet despite these facts the Olympic Games are still like those of old-they are undoubtedly one of the most thrilling and dramatic spectacles on earth. -

WHAT CAN YOUTH

SUGGEST

MAGAZINE

TO ENCOURAGE

COMMONWEALTH CO-OPERATION? What does the modern Commonwealth mean to you? Do you realise that it is a multi-racial society of twenty states? Four of these are the old members-the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand-but there are now no less than sixteen additional new members, most of them in the underdeveloped regions of Africa and Asia. The potentialities of this unique association cannot be denied, but we are living in a roaring, racing, tearing-hurry world, and unless there is a drastic change in attitude the Commonwealth will crumble. What is your attitude towards this "Common-Wealth"? Living as you do in your starch-increased, sugar-encrusted world, do you ever stop to think of the aching poverty in Africa and Asia? Imagine for a moment that you are cold, homeless, emaciated and starving, would you want meaningless promises of freedom and tolerance? No, not words but material. We are obliged to assist our Commonwealth brethren, because moral concern tells us that poverty and squalor are evils, and self-interest tells us that whilst they remain, world peace cannot be assured. If we delay, we may not hold our goods to distribute later. What we have to do is to multiply a hundredfold the work that is already being carried out, and this will require capital from rich nations such as Australia and New Zealand. "So what?" shrugs the man in the street, and his apathy will continue until our government imposes a tax to teach him the hard way. Let us turn the educational, agricultural and scientific plans of specialised agencies into mammoth undertakings, requiring not only capital but men. The exchange system for experts, trainees and students, must be intensified, and every type of public servant is required-agricultural and veterinary men, nurses, men with "dirt on their boots", and we, the youth of the nation. Incidentally, there is more scope for "kicks" and "thrills" in a jungle than there is in a cathedral square! But most of all these backward countries need teachers, for without education there is no progress. New Zealand's poor response to Africa's request recently, shows that improved accommodation and further financial aid are needed to attract a teacher to a classroom of grass and rushes. I deny the accusation that our "smugness is as thick as a

turtle's fat!" but I do believe that our efforts are too meagre. In the time you took to eat your meal this evening, about a thousand people died of starvation, and at the same time vast surpluses are accumulating in Canada and Australia. Immediate all-Commonwealth action is thus the first step, but the fostering of Commonwealth spirit, however idealistic, must continue simultaneously. British nostalgia is a weak foundation for an international association, and whilst her lead must be energetic, Britain should also demonstrate that, within the Commonwealth, she is not "more equal than others". Some decentralisation would strengthen our partnership. Commonwealth relations offices should be established in every independent country and the Prime Ministers' conferences held in the different Commonwealth capitals. The traditional British ties are weakening, but inter-Commonwealth trade could preserve its conesion. Discussions between trade leaders are important, because the future of the Commonwealth as a living force depends not only upon its ability to aid the less privileged, but upon frequent consultations between its peoples. Exchange systems, scholarships and forums for school children and students, and personal contacts between sportsmen, business men and Prime Ministers, will fortify the bonds of understanding and friendship. Is this message of Commonwealth goodwill reaching the widest possible audience? It is difficult for us to imagine a house where there are no books, magazines or newspapers, no radio blaring or "telly" glaring, but in many countries, media for Commonwealth information are inadequate or non-existent. An information service, and an information con£erence would be valuable, because the backward countries must be taught to help themselves, Commonwealth knowledge must be developed in our own schools, and the general public educated in Commonwealth affairs; for it is trying when Australians and New Zealanders find that they are believed to be convicts and cannibals respectively ! This long-term plan involves the consolidation of ideals, which I believe cannot be rejected. Now the Commonwealth depends upon cooperation between black and white on an equal basis. The problem is more concerned with high and low standards than with the colour of the other man's face, and our task is to level up rather than

down. Our own Maori-Pakeha situation is not, at present, worthy of emulation. This is no hour for little aims and big fears, but the Commonwealth will not survive without the cooperation between its members which I have urged this evening. We are all partners in a great adventure. As Mr Duncan Sandys said recently - "Are we going to allow this opportunity to slip us by? If you miss a time in history very of ten you cannot catch up again". I believe that the great moment for the Commonwealth is just coming in these next years. - Ann Macarthur.

IT IS NOT GROWING, LIKE A TREE IN BULK, DOTH MAKE MEN BETTER BE A tree, as it develops, is compelled by nature to increase in bulk, that is, to put forth new branches which in turn bear new shoots and fresh, young leaves. Man, whilst increasing in physical bulk and proportions has the inherent desire to achieve bulk in a more acquired, material sense. Man is not content to grow from year to year, to replenish falling hair and replace decaying teeth, but rather to increase his wordly possessions and the bulk of his material existence. A tree is blessed with a beautiful form, a man with an individual spirit. Man does grow in physical bulk, but it is not this that makes him a greater organism than an animal, a vegetable, or a tree. It is the extension of his mind that can elevate the human. Humans have a greater ambition in life than a tree, they do not merely desire to grow, they want to exist in a state of higher truth. In his quest for mental, spiritual or physical perfection, man will, to a certain extent, meet success. But as a consequence, a people become idle and thoughtless, unenterprising and fond of luxury. It is an unfortunate truth that man, having acquired a place for himself, cannot maintain it. Since the beginning of Man, great Empires have come and have gone. The civilization of Babylon lasted for four thou and years but still it was ground under by the dust of time. Are there inherent and necessary reasons why our predecessors' fate mu t be ours, sooner or later? :rvfust races, civilizations, states and nations die? To inherent virtue of breed, race must add customs and laws, acquirements of discipline and knowledge. These acquirements made, power established, the race will rise from generation to generation; only to fall in ultimate decay. Plato and Aristotle are founders of a theory which consists of an argument from Analogy. These philosophers believed that races might be conceived in similar terms to individuals, therefore, society resembled an individual. Because the individual is mortal and must die, so must race. Race, like a tree, must go through a period of evolution, have a beginning, a maturity and a death. Biological research has dismissed this analogy, when it states that the individual dies from an inherent cause, and that race is naturally immortal. The tendency of life is not to die but rather to live. The individual withers while the race is more and more. The Jews, a race that ha-s never had an

Empire of its own, have survived oppressors and empires. They have not grown, like a tree, in bulk, but have rather existed as a race of men who know no defeat. The consistent fall of our predecessors might well be attributed to the individuals of the race seeking an increase of wealth, a love of the comfortable and rich; in fact a growth in wordly and physical bulk. Over a century ago, Lamerck advanced a theory of organic evolution in which he suggested that the acquired characteristics of parents could be transmitted to succeeding generations. A degenerate people, lazy with the drug of success, give rise to a degenerate race. In blood and in brain are the consequences of the habits of their ancestors; acquisition of bulk breeds a feeling of success, and that, in turn, idleness and unenterprise. Offspring, are therefore, predestined to become idle and luxurious, and this means a dying nation. Why is it that nothing fails like success? Charles Darwin has an wered this eternal question, when he says: "No race or species, vegetable or animal or human, can maintain its organic level let alone raise it, unless its best be selected for parentage". When a race is making its way, selection is stringent. Weak, cowardly, diseased and stupid are ruthlessly exterminated from As civilisation advance , a higher generation to generation. ethical level is reached - diseased are no longer left to pay the penalty exacted by nature for unfitness, they are allowed to survive, which is well; and to multiply, which is ill. No race can afford this absolutely fatal process. The civilization which merely maintains its position is one in which selection has ceased, if selection had not ceased, the position would be more than maintained, it would advance. Ignore selection and the breed will degenerate the lower section of the race will multiply more rapidly than the higher ones. That the higher the individual, the less rapidly does he reproduce is propounded in Spencer's Law, thus the race which is not advancing is retrograding. In this life, with our freedom of choice and will, we must take care to select from the bulk of material advance set before us, only that which is good for us, the individual. We must consider how far we have come, the steps by which we have ascended, and answer with Shakespeare: "There are many events in the womb of time, which will be delivered". Man is not like a tree or a plant, he can select the growth

ST.

MARGARET'S

MAGAZINE

or form of his bulk. And only with selection can perfection be obtained. Wrong selection will lead to racial destruction or the destruction of the individual. Man may select material gain and social success as his goals in achieving bulk but these ambitions are doomed to failure. It is well to re-echo the sentiments of many wise men when one says: -"Don't be ambitious; don't be desirous of success; be loyal and modest". Put down the proud, towering thoughts of youth or see that they are pure as well as high. A nobler ambition than material gain will bring the right increase in bulk. Man can make no kind of achievement in this world that is equal to perfect health. What are nuggets and millions? A French financier once said, "Alas! Why is there no sleep to be sold?" Sleep can not be bought in any market for any price. The old word for 'holy' in the German language is 'helig' which also means healthy: 'Helibronn' means 'holy-well' or 'healthy-well' -holiness akin to health. A healthy mind is equally as important as a healthy body, for the one influences the other. A man with a clear intellect and perfect health is unusual, for the man's operations destruct his health. Entering whole-heartedly into one's ambitions is usually at the expense of one's health. It is wise, then, to work for healthy, noble goals - good and evil will result but man will enjoy the measures of success that has been appointed him. Of selection and choice of goals, the poet Goethe says; -"But heard are the voices, Heard are the sages, The world's and the Ages: "Choose well: Your choice is Brief, and yet endless". In man's quest for increase in bulk, he must not be greedy. Nature controls his physical bulk but he controls his mental and material growth. Greed in material acquisition brings only unhappiness and discontent, but greed in mental development will result in a jumbled intellect of unrelated facts. St. Bernard de Clairvaux, a great orator of the Middle Ages, once told a group of young monks to "Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge and take no thought for the rest. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but, of a truth, out of what you

possess, not out of what you possess not". God has given us talents for us to discover them, and to use and develop their powers. Man's ambitions should be confined to the dictates of his talents, and if possible, his talents should coincide with his life-work, for only then can individual harmony be achieved. Leonardo da Vinci who spent his entire life trying to achieve unity between his talent and his vocation, once said: "Thou, 0 God, hast given all good things to Man at the price of labour". "Work is the Law" as Ruskin said, whether for livelihood or enjoyment. With work comes development of mind and body - an increase in Man's bulk of form and brain. Remembering the dangers of increase of bulk in mental health and material aspects, it is well to realize that the development of the body is akin to the growth of the tree. But a tree has no soul. Its form may be aesthetically correct, its green shade a cool haven, and its strong branches a shelter, but it knows only to increase its bulk in one direction. It is not like man, who increases his bulk as he wills, in different aspects. The beautiful and handsome face, the strong, straight limbs of the body of a physically-well developed man may serve as only the be-jewelled exterior of a casket. For all the onlooker knows, the bulk he sees with his eyes on his fellow man is the total sum of his development. He can not tell what development his mental and spiritual forms have taken. It is well to develop as a tree - proportionately and handsomely in bulk, but it is better for the man to extend his growth in word ; from the seen exterior to the unseen spiritual interior. Ben Johnson, when he penned the lives of the quotation, was aware of these facts. He hated the thought of Man reaching senility and death and pref erred the young tree to be struck down in the peak of its perfection, before it became old and helpless. Developing our health of mind and body we grow in wisIf a man has meat and clothes and a dom and understanding. shelter over his head, what does it matter whether he gets £10,000, or £10,000,000 or £70 a year? He can afford meat, clothes and shelter for that, and he will find very little difference, intrinsically, if he is a wise man. With true selection, pure ideals and noble goals we are following God's principles. God is the god only of the living, not of the dead. Those who live in His image are alive to Him, those who deny him and seek the bulk of wordly possessions are

lost to Him. The good man, the man who is not content to develop himself solely as a physical specimen, but rather m the image of God is the better Man. God said: "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob", and, therefore, our Lord said, "Abraham and Isaac and Jacob are not, and cannot be dead". They cannot be dead because God own them; he is not ashamed to be called their God, and so they are not cast out from Him, but of necessity, live. Man can be ( unlike a tree, which can only have life and death on this earth) alive or dead to God, whilst he is alive to all intents and purposes to his fellow-men on earth. It is indeed a terrible fate for man to be dead to God, and yet to feel little pain because of the enjoyment of the worldly pleasures and material acquisitions of Bulk. To have these acquired enjoyments of added bulk suddenly struck away, we should then, in the words of Thomas Arnold, "find that to be dead to God is death indeed, a death from which there is no waking and in which there is no sleeping forever". - Jennifer Anderson. Storry Essay, 1963. FOREST

AT NIGHT

Cool shadows of day when the sun is asleep, And wind whispers soft secrets which float through the deep Ear of nature, and stir her to dance in dark trees, And send through them music in trembllng leaves; Oh, omen of terror and source of delight, You reveal so much more than the beauties of sight, For beneath the thick blanket of blackness and green Lies a spirit of life which will never be seen. The fragrance of crushed leaves, the dampness of moss, And tranquillity; these must atone for the loss; Of a wild bird's clear call and the slant of the sun, As it streams through bare branches triumphantly won. In the struggle with night, because who can despair, In the depths of a forest when these fill the air. The night's haunting melody rings in the sky, And descends to the forest, to fade and to die. -Rowan

A DISAPPOINTMENT When Mummy was wrapping up the vegetable peelings in an old piece of newspaper one night, she happened to see the heading, "Penny Collector says that 1930 penny is worth £ 100". She told me to keep a look-out for 1930 pennies, and put the parcel of peelings in the rubbish tin. A little while after, GabrielJe, Nicola and I, deciding to have a stall for the Red Cross, thought it would be a good idea to walk home from school every afternoon and save our bus fare so that we could buy our own ingredients for the cakes

we were going to make. Of course, every time Gabrielle, Nicky or I were given our bus fare we made sure that our mothers had not given us a 1930 penny. After we had been walking home for about two months, and had collected £2/0/0 among us, we thought we would go to the Self Help and that Gabrielle and Nicky would get everything and I would give the grocer the money. The ingredients came to 19/ 8 and the grocer gave me 4d change, or should I have said £100/0/3 ! For there, on top of the 3d was a 1930 penny! I am sure I must have turned quite white, for Gabrielle and Nicky looked at me oddly, I said thank you to the grocer and quickly went out of the shop. I told Gabrielle and Nicky the good news and on the way home we decided to give the £100 to Red Cross. We told Mummy and she rang Daddy, who said he would go to a coin dealer and ask him about the penny. The suspense of the next few minutes was dreadful, because soon we would know whether the coin dealer would buy the penny. A few minutes later daddy rang back and as soon as the receiver was put down, Mummy said, "I have a great disappointment for you". The coin dealer had told Daddy that it had to be an Australian 1930 penny! You can imagine the disappointment we all felt for now we could not give the £ 100 to Red Cross. I still have that English 1930 penny, and it now lies at the very bottom of my treasure box, among my greatest treasures. Needless to say, I am still looking at every penny I get, hoping that one day I really will find a 1930 Australian penny. - Maureen Wilson, Std. 4. SAVING How Sally wanted that bicycle she had seen standing up in Butler's shop window the Thursday before her birthday! But she couldn't ask for it now, for her birthday was only a week away. Anyway she had seen her mother hide a pair of skates away in the cupboard. Suddenly she had a great idea. She would be able to get that bicycle. No, she wouldn't ask for it for her next birthday, she would save up her own pocket money. Quickly she remembered she had a School Savings Bank account. She would do extra work over the weekend and on Monday she could take her money to school and bank it. On the following Monday, she had already banked five shillings which she had earned over the weekend.

She was thrilled when at the end of the month she had already saved one pound, and with that pound she would be given one shilling interest. This gave her still more inspiration and every week and weekend she saved her money and banked it. By the end of three months she had saved up three pounds. Her parents and teacher all admired her for this great effort, and occasionally her parents gave her a shilling or two extra. If she had not thought of this great idea of saving her dream would have never come true. Sally had been very wise, because if she had spent five shillings on sweets every week, she would have nothing to look forward to in the future. - Judith Wilson, Form 2. Prize-winning essay in Canterbury Savings' Bank Competition. TIRED How tired the soldiers were. Their bodies were tired, they were tired of the war, they were tired of tramp-tramp, tramping. But they could not stop yet. Tramp, tramp, tramp. The weary men went plodding on with parched throats and empty stomachs. And then came the order to halt. It sounded like music in their ears as they wearily sat on the grass under the hot summer sun. They rested their tired, blistered feet and drank a little of the warm, tasteless water kept in a bottle. But it was not long till the order to march came. Once more the tired soldiers set off. Suddenly an enemy plane screamed overhead and they ducked and threw themselves onto the grass as bombs fell. But it was over in a minute and once more the weary soldiers went on. They tramped through the deserted village and into the country again where the birds still sang. But still they tramped on and on. It seemed they would march forever with weary bodies ready to drop. Onward they pressed, not noticing the black clouds hiding the sun. Slowly it began to rain and the drops cooled the soldiers' faces. The rain increased and soon their feet were squelching in the water in their boots. They trudged on still and then lightning streaked the evening sky and thunder echoed round the hills. At last they stopped in some trenches. They sat in the mud and took their boots o!f. They bathed their feet in the water and took out their tin plates as a cook came round with soup. It was cold by the time it reached the end of the line. But they did not mind. Here was bliss - in the form of rest. - Elizabeth Everist, Form Two.

In May a cocktail party was held in the Assembly Hall to farewell Miss Crasher the retiring headmistress. It was very heartening to see so many Boarder parents at this function during which Miss Crasher was presented with a walnut writing bureau. Miss Mullan was welcomed at our June meeting and there was a record attendance to hear her talk and see her coloured slides of her years in India. At the August meeting Dr. Chisholm, the Director of Anaesthesia at Christchurch Hospital showed a coloured film and lectured on the resuscitation of the drowned. At the October meeting, a panel chaired by Mr Hewitson, Senior Inspector of Secondary Schools for the South Island, discussed Reading at Primary, Secondary and University level. I would like to thank my committee for their help during the year, and particularly the ladies with their endless supplies of sandwiches and cups of tea for the meetings. Our major project this year was of course the Filtration plant financed with the help of the Board and the Education Department, and it is very heartening to see it nearing completion at this stage. We have also interested ourselves in providing outside seats for the girls, and have endeavoured to stimulate the Board into doing something about the heat and glare in the classrooms. Mrs Matson is at present looking into the feasibility of staffing a tuck-shop for the girls. Finally several of our members are on a Sub-committee which with Miss Mullan is looking into the question of possible uniform changes in the future.

won the Shield. Our team consisted of: Miss S. Rich, Mrs J. K. Lawrence, Miss W. Morgan, Mrs B. C. Lee, Mrs J.B. Jameson, Mrs J. N. Matson, Miss J. Brander and Miss B. Saunders. Our special thanks go to Mrs Lawrence ( Margaret Burrell) for captaining our team. Debutante Ball, Friday, 3rd April: Under the guidance of Mrs P. F. Maples (Beverley Whittington) the committee transformed the Winter Gardens for this occasion with massed arrangements of pink and white flowers and tulle. Twenty-five debutantes, who had been trained by Mrs W. H. Baird, were presented by the President, Mrs R. J. Dendle, to the Rt. Rev. A. K. Warren, Bishop of Christchurch, and Miss J. P. Crasher. Owing to her illness Mrs Warren was unable to attend, and flowers were sent to her from the Association. The ball was attended by 467 guests, and following is a list of debutantes, each of whom was presented with a Victorian Posy as a gift from the Association: Misses Mary Batstone, Bobbi Baker, Judith Marriott, Judith Tait, Helen Deidrichs, Jennifer Wagner, Susan Mulligan, Jocelyn Johnston, Adrienne Moore, Diane Whitty, Barbara Cook, Pamela Thompson, Joy Brander, Kathleen Gardiner, Jan Phillips, Margaret Cook, Annabelle Carstairs, Wendy Nicholls, Virginia Hamilton, Diana Adamson, Prue Birdling, Susan Gebbie, Sally Williamson, Avice Kelly and Heather Anderson. Luncheon Party: As last year's party at Shirley Lodge proved to be so popular with both town and country members, we arranged a similar function for Wednesday, 6th May. This gave members another opportunity to wish Miss Crasher "God Speed", and we presented her with a sheath of flowers and a silver spoon engraved with the School Crest as a parting gift. Annual Ball, Saturday, 13th June: Outdoor cafes, checked table-cloths, striped awnings, street lamps, a flower seller's barrow and models of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, helped to give the "Paris by Night" atmosphere to the Winter Gardens for this most successful gathering, which was attended by 600 guests. Morning Coffee: On Wednesday, 19th August, we were delighted to welcome a large number of members at the D.I.C. Tearooms to meet Miss Mollie Mullan, the newly appointed Headmistress of St. Margaret's. Miss Mullan was welcomed and presented with a bouquet of flowers, and she very kindly gave a most interesting talk about "School Life in India", where she has been Principal of the Bishop Azariah Girls' School for the past fifteeen years.

St. Margaret's College Board of Governors: As your representative I have continued to attend all Board Meetings, and I am more than ever convinced that this appointment enables an important liaison to be maintained between the School and the Old Girls' Association. Together with other Board Members I attended Miss 'Crosher's last End of Term Service at the School. The Rt. Rev. A. K. Warren, Bishop of Christchurch, conducted the service, and I have never heard the girls sing anything more beautifully and movingly than the hymn, "God be with you till we meet again".

CIRCLE

During the year the Armagh Circle has held three very successful morning tea functions. The attendance has been very gratifying, especially the winter meeting as the weather was so mild. We were fortunate at the August gathering to have Miss Mullen with us. I think she enjoyed herself chatting among the earlier pupils of the College. For some years the Armagh Circle was only open to members to 1918, but it has been decided to extend this period to the end of the year 19 2 2. There is no entrance fee for membership, only 2/6 for morning tea, which is payable at the door. Any girls of the 1919 to 1922 years who wish to become members, would they please ring Mrs Rich or myself.

In July we held our largest gathering to date, when Betty Clark and her partner, Mrs Emma Knuckey, showed us model suits and dresses from their spring collection. We were happy to welcome at this function many friends of our own members a·nd also a large contingent from the St. Hilda's Old Girls' group. Earlier in the year several of us had been entertained by the St. Hilda's Old Girls' at a morning tea where Mrs Black,. one of their members, showed most interesting colour slides of her travels in Nepal. It was a great pleasure to have Merle Dendle with us in August, especially for those of us who remembered her from school days. About twenty were present at afternoon tea at Marion Lusk's home on the Friday, when Merle told us many interesting items of news about the Association and the School. On the Monday some of us continued our reminiscences at a small luncheon party at "Poenama" on the North Shore.
