EDITORIAL "The world is my parish" has become a cliche. "The world is my textbook' may well become as well-known an aphorism. At each Display of Work the recognition of world-community, the growing interchange of ideas, an understandinp- of other cultures, become increasingly evident. The voluminous output of illustrated literature, seminars and displays, student exchange - all are having their impact; and one is impressed by the new dimension of world-mindedness in which young people of today are nurtured. One can share some of the excitement of growing up in an age when educational horizons are so wide and when the future is, despite what the pe simists say, so rich with opportunity and challenge. The standard in all sections of the 1964 Display was high. It is an amusing pastime ( if one has the time) to study those who attend such exhibitions. The taff - with the well-known only-two-more-days-to-go look; parents showing obvious pride in dapghters' achievements; girls - assuming a studied nonchalance which does little to hide their pride in work accomplished. The pride is justified. Yet the sum total of the work of a school is not unlike the iceberg - only a small portion is visible. In all spheres of school activity the parts which are seen are perhaps the least important; the attitudes and principles which such work develops are far more so. The accuracy and reliability demanded in science departments; the capacity for entering into the minds of others when reading great literature; the developing of an awareness of beauty of line and colour in commonplace thing which an art cour e seeks to stimulate; the high standard of discipline essential in advanced gymnastics these are the valuable thino-s; in short, the character which emerge from the multifarious activities which go to make up school life. For, in the ultimate, the things which are done can but reect the mind and soul of the doer. It is in these spheres that the great responsibilities of education lie. But such things are not seen in their fulness until years later; so a teacher knows, as a wi e parent also knows, that a display of work can tell but a partial story - and that the most important results of the year' work are not on display at all.

The following girls belonged: Gabrielle Andrews, Angela Blackie, Pamela Bourke, Ann Buchanan, Catherine Cox, Susan Dobson, Dianne Hatherley, Susan McDougall, Adrienne Perry, Andrea Twyneham, Philippa Williams, Virginia Williams, Rosemary Wilson, Margaret Wright, Belinda Young. The Harvest Festival was held on Thursday, Febrnary 18th, the produce of which was distributed among Mansfield House, Churchill Courts, The Community of the Sacred Name, Cottage Homes, Te Wai Pounamu and Windsor House. A number of girls attended the Communion Services at St. Mary's, Merivale, on Ash Wednesday and Maundy Thursday. The total collection from both the Junior and Senior schools during Lent was £256. We appreciate very much the pa ton and cruets kindly donated by Joanne Appel by; they were dedicated with the Lenten Collection. From the Direct Giving Service held on 19th August, £ 78 was collected. The Campaign funds, amounting to over £50,000 were dedicated at this :,ervice. Part of our Chapel Funds were again alloterl. to our Korean Families, the MJlanesian Mission, the Save the Children Fund, the Leper Mission, World Student Relief, the Community of the Sacred Name, Dr. Barnado's Homes, the S.P.C.A., the Church Army, the Council of the Women's Church Work, the Cottage Homes, the Diocesan Extension Funds, Friends of the Cathedral and the scholarships endowed at Bishop Azariah School in India. On the 6th April, the Bishop blessed the additional rooms at the Shrewsbury Street House. Archdeacon Woods has shown his usual endless interest in • the school and has generously given up his time to conduct our weekly services. Both the Confirmation and First Communion Services were held in the Chapel. The following girls were confirmed: Jane Acton-Adams, Joanne Armstrong, Alison Bown, Susan

Five boys from St. Andrew's were also confirmed at the service. They were: David Carr, Alastair Craw, Anthony Forsyth, Dudley Jarman and Christopher Thacker. Preparations are now being made for the St. Margaret's Day Service and the Carol Service. S.C.M. NOTES The S.C.M. this year had a membership of 40 girls. The Art Room again was used for our lunchtime meetings which were led by members of 6A and guided by Mis Tutill. Many discussions were held. The word . of St. Augustine "Love God and do what you like" provided a rather lively debate. Both Father Durning, a Roman Catholic Priest, and the Reverend Mr Rawlings, a Baptist Minister, addressed the S.C.M. promoting a discus ion on "The greatest obstacle to union with (a) the Baptists and ( b) the Roman Catholics". Other interesting speakers during the year included the Reverend D. R. Wilson, the Reverend Mr M. Wilson, Father Geoffrey, a Franciscan Friar from ew Guinea, and the Reverend Mr Roy Clements, the general ecretary of the S.C.M. "Church Unity'! and "What makes a delinquent" were the topics of two Christian Forums held in our own hall and at Girls' High School. Many girls from school attended these meetings, which proved very successful. A total of £46 was raised by the S.C.M. during the year. Thi was· mainly from cakestalls and the profits from Mufti Day. £:15 of this was- sent to our sponsored child, £20 to the

MUSIC NOTE 1965 has been a most interesting year as far a music is concerned. Once more, the t. Margaret's and Christ's College Choirs combined to give their annual concert, held for the first time in our school hall. During the first half of the programme, the ' tring' section of our chool orchestra provided an effective accompanniment for one of the songs. The second half of the programme was devoted to excerpts from Edward German' "Merrie England", . ung by the ma'-sed choir, conducted by Mr Field-Dodg on and accompanied this year by Mrs Allison. Soloists for this work were chosen from the two choir . Large and ke n membership in both the Junior and Intermediate hoir points to a secure future for the Senior Choir, which ha maintained it high standard throughout the year and has proved an invaluable supporter in such school functions as the Direct Giving and Confirmation Services held earlier in the year, and has also sung at the weddings of several old girls. Preparation i now being made for the carol ervices at the end of the term. Mu h enthusia m has also been apparent in the School Orchestra, whose ambitions will be realised in a forthcoming concert containing an impressive array of music by Mozart, Bizet, Haydn, Greig; and also the first movement of a piano concerto

by Mendelssohn. The acquisition of a new Yamaha piano. w go in the new music room, has been a great success - for ~in_~· ing classes and for orchestral work - and it will be a very worthy partner for the Steinway in the hall. An opera group, comprising lower sixth form girls, has been formed, and presented an operetta - "The Bride of Seville" - for the Old Girls in the second term. The third and fourth form girls are now preparing and end-of-year concert containing excerpts from Gilbert and Sullivan's "H.M.S. Pinafore". We were fortunate in having Mr G. Martin as judge for our Music Competitions in April. Results of these were as follows:S olo Piano Competition: Senior: lst-Ali on Parsons; 2nd equal-Nicola Rattray, Joanne Lee. Intermediate: lst-Mary-Grace Sussex; 2nd-Margaret Drake.

Solo Singing Competition: Senior: 1st-Yvonne Mackay; 2nd-Rosemary Turnbull; 3rd equal- Jill Ware, Alison Parsons. Intermediate: lst-Susan Wilton; 2nd-Helen McLachlan. All those who have been connected with musical activitie~ during the year would like to express their gratitude to Mrs Allison. RED CROSS NOTES The Red Cross has had an interesting, successful year. There are over one hundred members in the Junior School and although the membership in the Senior School is very much smaller they make up for it in quality! Rosemary Biss was invited to be an observer at the Annual Meeting of the New Zealand Red Cross Society which was held in Wellington. Her observations which she delivered at a Meeting in Christchurch were very well received and she brought credit to the School. Rosemary and Susan Gardiner are to represent North Canterbury and the School at the New Zealand Conference of Junior Red Cross which is to be held at Lincoln College in January, 1966. Sister Coles has taken classe in both Senior and Junior groups and five senior girls sat the examination, three gaining honours. Thirteen junior girls sat a paper and did practical work in Care of the Sick. They all passed, one with honours. The girl have links with Red Cross juniors in America,

Ghana and Australia. We al o have four Greek families with whom we keep in touch and once a year they receive a parcel of clothes. The girls of the Junior School were again called upon to form the choir at the Annual Service of the Red Cross Society in North Canterbury. The high standard of their singing was due to the hard work of Mrs Allison and to Rosemary Turnbull's accompaniment. Several cartons of goods were sent to the Annual 1arket and dozens of garments have been brought for children overseas. Two homes ( one for aged and the other for the blind) were visited and gifts taken to those who live in them. Mrs D. Taylor has kindly helped to raise money for Red Cross by preparing songs which were given at a concert by S.1 to S.3. Over £40 has been raised in various ways out in particular by groups of girls holding stalls at the gates of their homes. The enthusiasm and interest of the girls has made a worthwhile contribution to providing food and vitamins to children overseas. DIALECTIC SOCIETY 0 fjicers: President: Mrs S. Penney. Committee: Misses Rosemary Hawkins, Angela Blackie, Cynthia Roberts, Mary Holmes, Charlotte Holmes. The year has been a very full one, fourteen meetings have been held as well as a series of Junior and Senior Houc;:edebates, against Christ's College, hirley Boys' High School and the 'Fathers'. The new venture of House Debates has been successful; but there has been difficulty in arranging them and, as well, perhaps the ordinary members have suffered through having less opportunity. In the Junior House series, Rata taking the negative "That Tuck Shops are necessary in Schools" and represented by Francis Revell, Rosemary Biss, Alison Bown defeated Vicki Hiseman, Susan Holland and Adrienne Thompson who represented Matipo. In the contest between Konini, Mary-Grace Sussex, Charlotte Holmes, Anne Farmer, and Kowhai, Deborah Rawson, Kirsty Macarthur, Jennifer Drake, Kowhai were the winners debating on the topic "That ew Zealand girls waste their leisure time". The round between Rimu, Ann Penrose, Anne Livingstone, Jocelyn Sandston, and Rata gave the Rata team

another victory. They proved to be the Final Junior House wmners. The Senior competition ended the Competition on a high note, speakers have shown much improvement in poise and debating skill during the year. On the subject "That the Time, Money and Effort spent on the Man-in-Space Programme could be better devoted to the Welfare of mankind on Earth", the affirmative team, Kowhai ( Claire Fitzgerald, Annette Dynes and Catherine Wilkin) were given the decision over the Rata team ( Caroline Forsythe, Christine Perry, Catherine Phillips). Catherine Wilkin was judged the best speaker with Catherine Phillips second. In the Matipo, Rimu contest "That Modern Society is too Materialistic", Matipo represented by Angela Blackie, Christine Jones and Rosemary Hawkins won the honours from Catherine Isaac, Mary Mathieson and Vicki Louisson. Christine Jones was given the decision of the best individual speech. In the Kowhai-Konini debate "That New Zealand should remain neutral in the event of external warfare" the affirmative Kowhai won the round against Mary Holmes, Jan Thatcher and Heather Forbes. Catherine Wilkin was the best speaker. The Final Senior House Debate between Matipo and Kowhai gave the honours to Matipo ( Angela Blackie, Christine Jones, Rosemary Hawkins. Kowhai ( Claire Fitzgerald, Annette Dynes, Catherine Wilkin, though defeated, made the decision a difficult one. Christine Jones was again judged the best speaker. The committee thanks Mrs Penney and Miss P. Greenslade for acting as judges at all the House debates. The Third Fotms have enjoyed Impromptu speeches, won by Alison Bown and a parachute debate won by lmogen de la Bere. The mo t hilarious meeting gave full scope to the imaginations of the fourth and fifth forms on the subject "That spaghetti should be made longer". Perhaps it was a year's longer experience in eating spaghetti that gave the Fifths, Christine Perry, Catherine Wilkin and Susan Wagner the advantage over the Fourths, Jennifer Drake, Kirsty Macarthur and Charlotte Holmes. The Fourths became more serious over their own debate that "Too much emphasis is placed on winning in school sport". In a meeting given to Senior Impromptu speeche , the jud~cs, Angela Blackie and Rosemary Hawkins gave the decision 11.· Susan Thomson.

The highlights of the year come with the outside debate~, the first being against Christ's College and held in St. Margaret's library. Mr C. J. H. Blackie chaired the meeting and Mr Brian McClelland ar.ted as judge. Christ's College team, J. Deans, T. Geddes and N. Neill proved to be very polished speakers on the subject "That this house approves the Government's decision to send troops to Vietnam" and were the winners though the opposition, Rosemary Hawkins, Caroline Forsythe and Annette Dynes put up a good defence in which they were well supported by floor speakers from College. Mr J. Deans was judged the best speaker. On November 4th at Shirley Boys' High School a Junior team, Anne Livingstone, Alison Bown and Charlotte Holmes, upheld the negative on the. subject "That it is better to be a pop singer than an opera star" against M. Horton, D. O'Neill and P. Harrison. The judge, Mr J. N. Matson, gave the decision to St. Margaret's. The Senior team, Cynthia Roberts, Mary Holmes, Christine Jones, had a formidable task in upholding the negative on the subje.ct 'A woman should marry a man ten years her senior", against such able speakers as Murray Bryant, D. Filer, and David Jones. A very humorous debate which delighted the audience, the decision was again given in favour of St. Margaret's. Murray Bryant was judged the best "peaker. On November 19th in the School Library, Mr I. L. Holmes will have the task of chairing the Debate "It is better to plant a cabbage than a rose" when the fathers led by Mr B. J. Drake, Mr R. S. D. Twyneham and Mr A. Bird, will have to defend the affirmative against Angela Blackie, Annette Dynes and Claire Fitzgerald. Judge will be Mr N. S. Roberts. Apart from the experience in speaking that has been given the members, the social gatherings after many of the debates has proved a most enjoyable interlude during the terms. The Committee feels that another very successful year ha been completed, but only through th President's unfailing support and encouragement. Rosemp.ry Hawkins has won Mrs Penney's special prize for speaking and for service to the Club. MYERS CUP PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST The finals were held on Wednesday, October 27th at 7 .30 p.m. Our judge this year was Mr Colin McLachlan, whose relaxed manner as he gave helpful comments demon-

All the schools have some connection with Wene Grace, an outstanding representative of the Maori and Pakeha races; the competition was inaugurated in her memory by Miss Cora Wilding, to foster good relations among all peoples and to encourage g~1b to think of their responsibilities as world citizens. The judging panel this year was headed by Dr. Roger Duff of the Canterbury Museum. Second place was awarded to the representative of the Victoria Girls' School in Auckland and we were very proud that first place was awarded to Mary Holmes of St .. Margaret's. This means that St. Margaret's will hold the Wene Grace Trophy until next year. DRAMA OTES For the second year in succession St. Margaret's was invited to take part in a joint production with Christ's College. "Our Town" written by Thornton Wilder, is a most unusual play, demanding great skill from all those taking part, as much of the action is in mime. The cast which included Yvonne McKay as Emily Webb, Mary Holmes as Mrs Webb, Virginia Matson as Mrs Gibbs, Susan Wagner as Rebecca Gibbs and Christine Perry as Mrs Soames, must be congratulated on its excellent performance. The following is an extract from a report printed in ·the "Press' on 25th June, 1965:

"Performances throughout were well balanced and mo t convincing. N. J. D. Neill was faced with the biggest but least exciting part as the Stage Manager, and he handled this extremely well, while his brief inter-polation as Mr Morgan was a highlight of the production. Other well-sustained performances were given by K. L. Lynn, Virginia Matson, Mary Holmes, M. A. Pyatt, Yvonne McKay and R. D. Sharpe. "Comparative uniformity of accent was another pleasing thing about thi production, which as a whole achieved a higher standard than many productions by more experienced actors. It is refreshing and encouraging to see young people working so well as a team and putting their combined abilities to such good use". We would like to thank Mr Creese and Mrs Corrick for giving us the opportunity to take part in this play and for all the valuable advice we gained from them. To Mrs Creese, who took charge of the costumes, and to all others who helped the production in any way, we would also like to extend our grateful thanks. Unfortunately the Drama Club has gone into recess this year, but under the capable supervision of Rosemary Hawkins, a group of third-formers have been meeting once a week, thus keeping the interest in Drama alive. PREFECTS NOTES Cynthia Roberts: early all our best men are dead. Carlyle, Tennyson, Browning, George Eliot - I am not feeling very well myself. Robyn Annand: "Judge not a book by its cover. Sue Bullock: What you do yourself is well done. Barbara Cummack: What means thi heaviness that hangs upon me. This lethargy that eeps through all my senses. Rosemary Hawkins: Those who make the best use of their time have none to pare. Christine Jones: The next train left ten minutes ago. Ginnie Matson: The eyes have ::t. Emily Mulligan: There's no place like home. Jane Paterson: A little peach in a garden grew. Liz Russell: Gentlemen prefer blondes. Chrisie Stephens: Little fishes should not spout like whales.

Juliana Stewart: Life is just one damn thing after another. Rosemary Turnbull: PJease do not shoot the pianist - she's doing her best. Sarah Woods: "Of all the girls that are so smart, there's none like our sweet Sally". During this year, the Prefects have experienced three different homes but are now well settled in the old Staff Room. '"' e do appreciate the comparative luxury of our new surroundings and with the expulsion of Mozart's Juke Box and the addition of new chair covers and a small electric frypan to cope with our too frequent birthday parties, we feel we are indeed fortunate. We did however, enjoy being in the other studies: we could probably now join Guthries if all else failed. Many are the eyes which light up when the Debutante Ball is mentioned. We were very grateful to Mrs Lee for her kind invitation extended to us to watch the presentation of the debuantes on Friday, April 23rd. If she could have seen the graceful curtseys, which abounded in Armagh Street later, she would realise just how much we enjoyed this privilege. During Lent the Prefects again accompanied Miss Mullan to Wednesday Communion at St. Mary's, Merivale. The daygirls among us were very grateful to the Matrons in the Boarding House who so kindly gave us breakfast on those days. Together with the House Prefects we were again able to help at the Synod Garden Party held on Wednesday, 20th October. Miss Corder's helpful advice has still been warmly welcomed at lunch-times during the year. We have also entertained the staff and Miss Mullan and Miss Corder to lunch and morning tea, upon several occasions, Miss Mullan has very kindly invited us to morning tea in her cottage. At the end of the first term we said "Bon Voyage" to Cynthia Roberts, who travelled overseas with her family. Talks of Rome, New York, Hong Kong and Paris to mention but a few ports of call, made us all very envious when she returned at the beginning of the third term. Susan Thomson took over Cynthia's position during her absence. If anyone felt that the Port Hills were somewhat lacking in flax and bushes, they would have found their solution inside the School Hall on Saturday, May 1st, the evening of the School Dance.

HOSTEL NOTES Every aspect of school life has much to offer those who give generously by participation in school activities. Nowhere is the process of 'give-and-take' as important as in the House. Boarding offers the experience of a deep sense of community spirit. In contributing to house life many girls have found stimulation for character development in the challenges presented by their environment. It is inevitable that everyone will have her share of 'ups' and 'downs' and that over-boisterous contributions to house life will merit reprimand, but every crisis has been for the· good of the house as a whole and its inhabitant as individuals. The matrons' efforts have accomplished much this year, notably the preparation of Warren House for occupation. Mrs Brook's planning and Mrs Cassidy's pioneering have triumphed over all odds making it possible for sixteen girls· to move in during the first half of the third term. Bishop Warren, in whose honour the new hostel was named, dedicated Warren House on 14th September. This service marked the realization of a dream and the beginning of a new stage in the project which will be completed when a full quota of girls can be catered for. Without Miss Mullan's great sacrifice of time and energy the house would be poorer in every way. Her constant guidance and her intense ·concern for our welfare has been an inspiration to all who have come to know her well as the year has progressed. The true value of Miss Mullan's achievements will be fully appreciated only when those of us who are boarding now have left school and can look back to the seed time of the rich harvest which will come from her :;nfluence. We are indebted to the P.T.A. members who have spent a number of Saturday evenings showing films: Mr Nurse, Mr Richards, Mr Solomon, Mr Taylor and Mr Tocker. Friendly relations with the Acland girls were strengthened at the swimming sports held in our pool. We began with one competitive race and then turned to novelty events, which may not have displayed much swimming skill, but which provided excellent entertainment. The Acland and St. Margaret's matrons generously supplied and presented most acceptable ( and edible!) prize . The highlight of the third term was to be a Hostel Dance. Unfortunately, its cancellation was unavoidable. We hope that next year's dance will be the first in a succession of highly uccessful Hostel Dances.

We have gone out to many film shows and displays, which the most memorable are "The Mikado" and "The Sound of Music" in the winter term, and The New Zealand Ballet Company' "Nutcracker Suite" and Vintage Car Rally at the beginning of the year. The picnic at Church Bay in February provided the new girls in Julius with an opportunity to get to know those in Kilburn. They demonstrated their growing confidence in putting on a new girl's concert and playing their part in the disruptions of 1st April. For the first time house prefects have this year assisted the Julius Matrons. Jan Thatcher and Hilary Rose were Julius House Prefects for the first term while Gretchen Gardiner and Alison Diedrichs took the roles in the winter term. Assisted by the Julius prefects for the third term, Emily Mulligan and Pam Roberts, the new matron, Mrs Carter, did an admirable job, almost single handed until Miss Percy arrived to be the house tutor for the second half of the term. As is alway the case, the third formers have still much to learn about hostel-life; they must go on learning throughout their school careers. Loyalty to Kilburn and regard for the traditions associated with it have come to the fore with the advent of Warren. It ha been proved that the advantages of comfort and the comparative luxury of Warren cannot out-weigh the meaning Kilburn has for the girls who have lived there for most of their time at Margaret's. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the matrons and house prefects for their support and cooperation, and to wi h our succ sors the best of luck. PRIMARY SCHOOL- NOTES Our Department of the chool continues to flourish and take its full part in the life of the school as a whole. We enjoyed having Miss Hills, a teacher from London, for a term while Miss Wood was over eas. Mrs Bostel was with us for two terms and Mrs Grant for the year and we have appreciated their work. In the first term we participated in the Harvest Festival, the Lenten offerings and the Holy Week services in the Cathedral. Our swimming team did well in the Inter Primary Schools' Swimming Sports, we entered many exhibit in the children's display of floral work in connection with the Pan Pacific Arts Festival and several girls took part in the Primary Schools' Orchestral concert in the Festival Hall.

Interest was taken by the girls in the Development Fund and, apart from individual pledging, two stalls were organi ed by the pupils in support of the fund. Part of the proceeds from a mufti day were also given a well as the retiring collection after an entertainment given by the lower classes. Standard I, Standard II and the Junior choir produced three delightful operettas in costume and pleased a large hall full of parents and friends. Standard IV, Form I and Form II entertained with unison and part singing and an operetta as well as sketches and plays produced by Form II girls. The Standard classes all enjoyed the New Zealand Ballet Company dancing the "Sleeping Beauty" while Form II had their first taste of Shakespeare when they attended a performance of "The Merchant of Venice". Visits to the Museum for lessons continue to be popular while an interest in astronomy has been encouraged by a visit to the Planetarium. Instruction in Road Safety continues to be given by Traffic Officer who train the Form II girls who do road patml duty. This year also, the School Nurse has been given lessons on health to Standard II as well as supervising the health, sight and hearing of all pupils. I FA T DEPARTMENT NOTES Highlights of the third term, 1964, were Sport's Day in November, the opening of the swimming season, Parent's Day and the Primary School Prizegiving. The year ended with the performance of a Nativity Play to a large audience on Open Day, after which parents inspected the childrens' di play of work. In the first term of this year the children shared in the "giving" in the Harvest Festival and the Lenten Offering. Traffic Officer, Mrs Roberts, visited the children during the year, giving Road Safety lessons and demonstrations. .. Later in the year, an excursion to a farm at Lincoln was thoroughly en joyed by alJ children, and a demonstration of shearing gave impetus to many interesting discussions.

At the athletic sports, although we did not shine, there was no lack of determination and we were able to gain first place in the whole house relay.

In the Swimming Sports, Matipo prefered the middle course, coming third. The crocodile also came third. Although we were not placed in the House Hockey Tournament we were very narrowly beaten by Kowhai, who were the eventual winners. Our basketball teams did quite well this year coming third in the overall points. This year Debating has been introduced on a knock-out basis. The Juniors had a debate against Kowhai, which they lost, but on final points, they were placed third.

House Relay and gained the most points in the Junior section of the Athletic ports. Inter-house matches were played in hockey and basketball during the second term. Rata gained much pleasure from the exciting competition especially in the hockey. But in spite of her enthusiasm she was unsuccessful. The results of the life-saving awards and gym badges were very pleasing giving Rat a a much needed lift. Another redeeming effort was made on the academic side where we have gained many points through mentions and work bars by some hard working members. The Junior debating team triumphantly carried off the debating cup in the first term but the seniors were not quite a fortunate in the ~econd term. The results of the memorised music competition saw Rata first in the Solo Piano and two third places were gained by our girls in the solo singine-. These successes certainly helped our marks, but the end of term saw Rata again at the bottom of the list. I should like to thank all those who have given me help and support, especially Jackie Harris my vice-captain, who was in charge for a term while I was abroad, and who, during the year has undertaken many tasks in my tead. To those members leaving school we offer our best wishe for a happy rewarding future and may all those returning help to establish this house in good work, conduct and sport for th coming years.

RIMU HOUSE OTES Unfortunately, though certainly not through a lack of house spirit, Rimu has not done as well as we had hoped. Although we gained a good overall number of points in the swimming sports, ther was no out tanding success. In the Athletic Sports however, Rimu did considerably better. We were second in the Senior House Relay and the Sack Relay and fir t in the House Captains' ovelty Race. Although we did not gain any cups for our shelves we did well .in total points and produced both the Senior and Junior Champ10ns. Our success in Winter Sport was var:ed. Rimu sank to dismal depths in the Basketball, but finished second to Kowhai in the Hockey after an exciting match. Off the playing field our Junior Debating team fini hed econd to Rata in the finals of the Junior House Debates. Thus far, the Sally Mills Cup has eluded us but we finished excitingly close to Kowhai in the second term, when they beat us by two points, .in the Bates House Cup. I would like to thank all those who have gained points for the House with weekly mentions, gym badges and work-bars. Congratulation also to the many girl who gained their whi tles and have had their pockets awarded or re-awarded. Although we have not broken records or won cups this year, the whole house has entered into all they have been asked to do, with spirit and njoyment.

NOTES

Although the 1965 eason was not as successful as some, it was one in which all those who participated showed a real interest, and true sportsmanship. As well as the greade team playing their Wednesday matches, five teams were made up from the Senior School to play against St. Mary's on Thursday afternoons. These games were most successful, and were enjoyed by all who took part. The A team had two very exciting games against Craighead and St. Hilda's at the Winter Tournament held at Craighead on 29th July. We defeated Craighead by a narrow margin, 31-29, then went on to defeat St. Hilda's by 28-26. Nicki May had an arm injury and was unable to play. Helen Cook filled her po ition and Heather Forbes went as our reserve. At the South Island Secondary Schools' Tournament held in Nelson, the team displayed real determination and sportsmanhip. In their second game Nicki May was injured, but they continued with six players and defeated their opponents. But this was not where the mishaps ended, as in the next game Lorraine Morris was injured and the team played with five. Hilary Rose came to the rescue and the team played its remaining games with six players. Jan Thatcher captained the team, a. owing to injury, Gretchen Gardiner wa unable to play. We are very grateful to those who have helped to make the basketball eason so successful and our special thanks go to Penny Harley, Ruth Perkin and Jenny Kay for helping with referring, and la tly to Miss Mango who wa the e sence of our succes .

Form II have a tennis ladder and these matches are played during the lunch-hour or sometimes after school if the courts are available. It is hoped that all Form I and II girls who are interested will be able to enter for the Primary School Championship but as yet we have received no information on this matter. _ Basketball Notes:

This year we did not enter a team in the Primary School Competition. It was felt that a there were matches on Thursday they were sufficient. The Mary Weathered Trophy was again played for and all the Primary Schools' involved gathered at school and played their matches on our court . I would like to thank Miss Mangos for the time she spent coaching the team and next year we are hoping to make an earlier start which should ensure us of a more succe sful season.

Victory Memorial, won 11-2. Hockey Notes:

A most successful season from the hockey point of view. A very unsuccessful one weather wise. The competition was changed from Mondays to Fridays, and this proved disastrous because more often than not it was either wet or the ground were unplayable. We were the unofficial winners of the Primary School's competition, the reason being that the full number of matches were not played and therefore we were not able to receive the hield. This team worked hard and the combination of a high standard of stick work and a sound knowledge of the game made it an extremely good team. It is to be hoped that these girls continue to practise and give their time to hockey in the future and I am sure St. Margaret's will be well served in the following years. We would like to thank all the parents for their loyal support throughout th eason.

ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS A WOMAN'S PLACE IS IN THE HOME Let us take a typical girl's lifetime. We shall call the girl Prudence. She is just like other little girls, when she is small. he laughs a lot and she cries a lot. When she is six she wants to be a lion tamer, when she grows up, becau e she likes animals and at the age of seven she wants to be an astronaut. You think this strange? Oh no! Gone today is the scene where the sweet little girl always replies when questioned that she wants to be a "mummy" when she grows up. Even small children show they want a definite career and Prudence is no exception. By the time she is fifteen she has decided she would make a better teacher than astronaut. She passes her School Certificate with flying colours and her University Entrance too. When he fills in forms at school, she does not write beside the wordcareer-"I want to run a household and clean and cook". No! Our Prudence has much higher hopes. At eighteen she leaves chool to go to the training college and so she becomes a teacher. However, when she is twenty-two, the inevitable happens - she marries and when the first baby arrives she has to give up her teaching and settle down to domestic life. For ten years she darns socks, cooks meals, crubs floors and acts her role of housewife and mother of three. Sometime she becomes so exasperated she wants to pack her bags and leave; but she stay . One morning, after breakfast, when she has finished the housework with her labour-saving devices and is sitting as usual doing nothing, she decides she must take action to make her life more interesting. So, she takes up part-time teaching at a primary school, o that she can still be home when her children come back from school, and she joins the local drama group on the advice of a friend. For the first time in ten years she feels she is really achieving something and giving her service to others. Her whole outlook on life is widened. She meets new friends and acquires more knowledge about people and life. She starts reading books, on more varied topics other than the light romances she plodded through on those, oh so, dreary afternoons before. She still has time to cook, mend and clean, but our Prudence is such a different person. Besides this, if we uncover the grim fact she is earning money, a boon to any thrifty hou ewif , and with

it she can pay school fee and buy clothes. She is not the breadwinner - just the layer of butter on top of the bread that makes it easier to eat. The expression "a woman's place i in the home" is decideedly Victorian and I disagree with it. Of course, in Victorian day , girls were brought up to run a house and this is what they did, supremely well. With a large number of servants, for whom they were re ponsible, they had twice as many in the family, and thus occupied their time in thi work to which they were best suited. Because they had never had the taste of independence, they did not seek it. A woman's place was in the home, at all times, then. But ince that time women have risen from their humbler po ition. They were given the vote, admitted entrance to universities, accepted a teachers and nurse and recently, as you will all have read, a woman has been made the first woman judge in England. Admittedly, some doors are still clo ed but assuredly there will come a day when women enjoy exactly the same privileges as men. This how that a woman is growing in independence and wants to step out into the world and turn her talents to constructive work. Today, a woman with a career is a woman with a purpose, no longer regarded ashance by the public. You still ay women hould settle down after marriage? Our women nowadays are trained to specific careers which they give up usually when married. Why shouldn't they go back to these careers as soon as their children are eight or nine and they are no longer needed full-time in the home? Apart from the personal uplifting a woman receives from her career, her work obviously benefits the country. No nation could prosper if nearly half of it remained socially, economically and politically inactive. Women have to play a significant role particularly in the fields of education, health, nutrition and in the social services. From a country's point of view, the e women trained to a career are valuable and it cannot afford to lo e them. The woman of last century who was seen and not heard, is now seen and heard and will have much more say in world affairs in year to come, because she is not made to it idly at home but welcomes the chance of working side by side with men, at omething which will be of value to others. There are verses in the Bible in Proverb which de cribe the perfect women and it shows that this wise woman indulge in business a well as minding the house. "She con idereth a

field and buyeth it. She maketh fine linen and selleth it and delivereth girdles unto the merchant".

MY HOLIDAY JOB One holiday must pay for another with me, so in endeavouring to go skiing in August I decided, or my parents decided, that I had better earn some money. In a country district there is not very much scope in choosing holiday jobs. One either looks after children, helps with housework or, especially in the May holidays, pick potatoes. I decided to try my hand at the la t. I will always remember striding onto the ' pud' paddock in outsize gumboots containing two frozen feet, calling out "good mornings" up and down the line of enthusiastic pickers, shaking and blowing on cold fingers and moaning about having to get up early. But there is always something to blot out the memories of the worst ide in any job and with me it was the sight of blue mountains rising into a crystal clear sky that wa just faintly flushed in the east. As the sun rose higher, the ground, previously so cold and dark looking, would start to steam, and all along the fence wires little droplets of water would collect and hang ready to plop onto the ground, but with not enough strength to pull themselves away from the wire. We started picking at about eight o'clock if the ground was soft enough. The ancient tractor would start up with a terrific cough and splutter then slowly chug into a more rhythmic sound. A lever would be pulled and once again our ears filled with the most excruciating sound I have ever heard - or indeed hope to hear - that of a very old and rusty 'spud digger'. One could not call it a 'potato digger', 'potato' is much too refined to use in association with that monstrosity. Row by row the cold brown potatoe were uncovered, some had large clods of earth still attached to them, which had to be patiently scrapped off. Our backs bent and our heads went down; we picked and picked and picked. Ju t when we felt we could not endure the agony of an alternately bent and straightened back any longer, morning tea or 'smoko' would arrive. This same routine was followed three more times in a day for five days. At night I would vow and declare 'never again', but the bright clear morning would put a new light on the subject and away I would go for another day of sorting 'tables' from 'seed', carting buckets of potatoes to row upon row of knobly brown sacks. There are alway great competition to see who could get the largest tally of bags in a day and that was partly what kept u going, I think. We had to have some impetus and the thought

of someone getting more bag than ours lve ( and consequently more money) gave u that extra purt of energy. The last day was, naturally enough, the be t. I could at long last crub my hands completely dirt free and get rid of that horrible feeling of dry caked oil under my fingernails. When we had cleaned ourselve and were looking rather more presentable than we had been for the pa t week, we filed into our "boss' " study and helped him work out our pay packets. We hurried home clutching our precious slips of paper feeling that the hard work wa well worth it and I at lea t, was feeling that I could not wait until next year to repeat the whole performance. - Alison Parson, 5L.

VIET AM one looks over the barren land, And see the endles tretch of ground, One realises that war is all around, And there is poverty and terror do e at hand. I look into the faces of old and young, And ee on everyone, reflected, the reality of war. The forlorn hope displayed in every eye, As loved soldier , short and tall, come marching by.

THE WITCH She toad in the graveyard, All crooked and black, And on her dark shoulder, There sad a black cat.

"HUMAN QUALITIES I ADMIRE" The human qualities I admire mo t are intolerance, di content and determination. The intolerance I admire is that of the people who do not tolerate the imperfections of the social conditions of their time. Our world would certainly not be what it is now if there had not been so many such cases of intolerance in the pa t. Take just one case, that of the slaves in America. If everyone had tolerated this situation I dare not think what life might be like there now. There are many, many other cases just like this one, but I will let you think of these yourselve . Now for discontent. How backward the world would be if nobody was ever discontented with the life they led! We would probably still be living in caves and eating raw meat if nobody had grown discontented with that way of life. I am sure all women are glad that someone grew discontented with weaving and spinning by hand and invented something better; or even in this day and age, glad that someone grew tired of doing dishes or polishing floors by hand, and so the dishmaster and all the other inventions to help you with your housework were invented. I am sure no useful invention would have been thought of without discontent. But both these qualities I have said I admire can only be admired if one looks at them a certain way. Of course I do not admire the unnecessary intolerance ome have for others beliefs and opinions; or the discontent of a spoilt and pampered child. Now for the more obvious, but none the less admirable quality - determination. An example of determination was shown in the film "Mary Poppins" which a lot of you have probably seen. This was the fight the women put up to get their votes and political equality. There were certainly very determined. Think of Mrs Pankhurst chained to the Houses of Parliament. This example of determination is especially admirable because it was for such a worthy cause, as I'm sure all you women will agree, though I'm not so sure about the men .. Now I have come to the quality you have been waiting for - bravery. We all admire bravery, but there are many kinds of bravery. That that springs first to our mind is that of a soldier in wartime, rushing about, facing death and shooting guns at people in the heat of the moment. No-one could say we are not grateful for his bravery. There is the bravery of the adventurer or explorer facing unknown danger and physical hardship for months and some-

COLLEGE

times years on end. The bravery of the rescuer going out to save someone in distress, the criminal bravery and many others in all walks of life. However, the bravery I admire most is the bravery of ordinary people, some of them hungry, some of them cold, some of them sick and homeless but still bravely living each day in hope. There is another quality that many of us never think about, thi is the courage to be different, not to be conventional all the time and follow the crowd. But this is another quality that must be used with discretion for if someone flys in the face of convention without thought for others then this quality too becomes less worthy. The courage to be different really boils down to being true to oneself and at the same time having the welfare of others in mind. Christianity itself would never have survived if the disciples hadn't had the courage to be different in their beliefs. Looking back over all the qualities I have mentioned, intolerance, discontent, determination, bravery, the courage to be different, I think I could say that these are the qualities most necessary for human progress. By human progress I mean progress not only in material things but also of the spirit and the mind, the development of human-kind to its fullest. - Charlotte Holmes, 4A. CRACKS I THE FENCE Beside the playground tands the fence, stripped by the desperate hands of school children in the hope that their eyes may seek out the marvel and mystery of their plaything lost in the barbarous jungle of long grass. Ugly, ugly as sin. Yet how beautiful. How beautifully does the molten sun filter through the skeleton, a golden crimson. Above the fiery furnace a cloud drifts, like a wift of steam, and is immediately scooped up by the selfish wind, leaving an external colour but not an eternal sight. It now retreats into the bed of coals transmitting its lengthy rays aero s the width of the glowering sky like the accusing beam of the torch which settles on the reddened, outspread, hands of a nocturnal raider. The shapes disappear, Beauty transforms into darkness, •I'he darkness covers in, ugliness and the fence. - Julia Matheson, 4A.

MY DREAM Sometimes I am filled with a terrible urge To escape from the city From the cramping, smog-filled lives we lead, In our snug, vibrapac bungalows, From the gear-grinding vehicles That fill our lives with noise and fumes; And run to the hills, The life-giving, peaceful havens of rest Where quietness reign , as in cathedral , Where wind rustles the rippling tussock And crickets and birds sing in chorus; Where whisp of cloud cud Across deep blue skies, and the world Below eem distant, unreal, forgotten. But humanity must 'progres ', And I must forget my dream and Return to the reality of the city To the noise and dirt and drab conformity Of urban existence, On which society feed and lives. But still I dream - Sarah Wood , 6A. UNDAY DRIVE I like to take a Sunday drive, Out on the thoroughfare. To join the growing throng of men, Ju tout to take the air. We drive past paddocks high with gra s, And curse the car that tries to pass. For thing of interest our eye are pealed, But Dad is busy with the wheel. He doesn't like us all to "hout, Look here, look there or else "look-out". O'er bumpy bridges, roads and tracks, We pity hikers with their packs. We are too lazy to u e our feet, But view the world from a soft car eat. Too soon our homeward way we wend, We ease the car around the bend. And hope, we never have to top, For the dreaded man the Traffic Cop. - Gaynor Piesse, Form I.

,,\Then a beautiful woman comes onto your screen there is no need to look any closer as she will probably say, "These foundation garments are made especially for you". If you see a teenage girl looking in the mirror it will not be the beginning of a new programme. She will end up after thirty second saying some kind of hair spray is best for her hair. When television first came to New Zealand some people used to sit in their chairs and intently watch everything that came on. But now when a poor programme comes on to the screen or an advertisement comes on they relax and talk. Television aqvertising causes many disappointments, for example, take the tired housewife, who sees the immaculate female, wiping over her floors producing a beautiful hine so ea ily. The next day she decides to try the same product but somehow the results are quite different. Of ten you are watching a detective story or a •murder mystery o.r a sherriff cornered by the outlaws. A soon as you have plucked up enough courage to look at the screen you might see why dehydrated garden peas are so much sweeter. Then, after you have waited a few more minutes you can again see the film. On the non-commercial nights it is very entertaining to watch television. On these· nights there are no breaks in the programmes for economical housewif es, teenage girls with hair problems and teenage boys who had dandruff problems until they used some kind of hair cream. The co t of television commercials varies greatly. On weekdays, television is divided up into three bands and on Saturday into five. Weekday bands are from 6 to 7 o'clock which is not very expensive, from 7 to 9 o'clock which i very expen ive and from 9 to 11 o'clock which is less expensive than the previous one. On Saturdays the bands are from 2 to .5 o'clock, 5 to 7 o'clock, 7 to 9 o'clock, 9 to 11 o'clock and from 11 to 12 o'clock. Most commercials are thirty seconds long but some are sixty seconds. The price of the commercial you have made also depends how many times you wish to have it screened. For example if you want to have a thirty pound commercial screened at 7 o'clock and again at 9 o'clock you would not have to pay ixty pound .

ON A FIELD TRIP At the station we waited and waited and waited. The hostel key and Jenny turned up. Amid a flurry of hands and handkerchiefs the train jerked out of the station. We bur t out of the train into the snow at Mt. White Bridge about 1 p.m. sorted out the packs and scrunched on our way. Snow spiky trees, velvety moss, speckly leaves and rich black earth and more snow - on and on and on. Most of us staggered "miles and miles and mile " to the huts, but others made it effortlessly. On arrival there were a few moments of blissful rest, then a mad rush for bunks and general chaos. Before tea an expedition went moss and lichen hunting beneath the trunks of the beeches. Thick golden hump of moss, bristly deep green patches and ragged lumps grew over tones and clung to banks. Lichen hung in wirey trand • from twig and trunks. Ghost stories told around a bellowing glowing furnace rather frightened a good many of us and a sudden crashing window scared the wits out of everybody. Snow balls whirled out under the dark depths of the night sky and late indeed was the hour when the last pair of eye closed in leep. The next day Sunday, was spent in climbing a mountain. I have never before seen such beautiful whitenes dappled with sunlight and criss-crossed with shade but a tremendou . amount of effort was spent in the ascent. All round below wove rivers - blue and grey, tangling through shingle beds and on either side rose higher snowy peaks worshipping the glorious blue of the sky - the climb was trulv worth it. On Sunday night after the huts had been cleared out and tidied up and after a last meal had been consumed, our large band of thirty-two tramped out under the stars - back to the bridge, back to the train and homeward bound. -

"THE LAW OF NATURE" A ultry calm settles over the land. The shadow, of du k gradually deepen, bringing with them a time of rest and peace. Before they disappear altogether the sun' rays light on the waterhole, the fountain of life to the parched animals, who come to drink the tepid, brackish waters. The strong and the weak, the young and the old, the pursued and the pursuer all drink together overcoming their fear for a few brief minutes because of a common, ever-present need. But the danger does not forget them, and lurks in its tawny, powerful, feline form; ever watchful. There i a deadly silence. Then the danger cautiously and stealthily stalks acros the dry veldt grass, closer and closer. The silence is broken when a noise of fear and warning i sounded, resulting in the panic-stricken galloping of the prey, who c sharp hooves raise the dry blinding du t in a blanket of confu ion. The old wildebbeeste or the young, newly-born impala, lag behind, tiring because thefr small supply of strength is almost spent. The feline forms do not relent but pursue regardles , after the labouring animals. A cry of pain rends the air, then all is still except for the occasional growl as the lions fight over the still-warm carcass, or perhaps a jackal howls waiting his turn expectantly. The ugly vultures look on, just out of reach of the angry jaw, ready to steal any mor el left unattended. The animals venture back, timidly at first but with increasing confidence a they realise the danger is pa t for the present. When they have drunk their fill, the animals slowly leave for the bush, to spend a night of rest, ready for tomorrow' dangers. - Margo Anderson, 4A.

A POLICEMAN'S LOT IS NOT A HAPPY ONE Think of a poor policeman, and all the hardships he has to endure. When you and I are asleep in bed the poor policeman i patrolling the streets, looking for suspicious characters. My own brother was held up and interviewed one night when he was returning home on foot. Many people would be most offended, but it would be rather distressing and embarrassing for a constable, if, while on his beat, he did not question someone just because he looked innocent, but he was later discovered to be the ringleader of a gang of midnight raiders! There are the "mods and rockers", ome of whom purposely try to annoy the 'cops' - "just for the laugh of it", as they put it. A poor 'cop' at a football match, is often trampled by the rush of people trying to get out. Similarly, at a pop show, they very nearly become squashed, sometimes by the rush of hysterical fans, trying to reach their star. But in spite of the uncertainty of whether his clean uniform will be trampled and torn by beatle boots and stiletto heels, the policeman has a free admittance to a show, and a good seat. However, the small pleasure that the pop-liking policeman may derive from this is certainly not spared by the policeman who happens to dislike pop music! A few of the more timid species of policeman may lose a little of their precious and hardwon beauty sleep over criminals, who, when released from serving a sentence, meet the policeman who arrested them, and say, "You wait cop, I'll pay you back some day". Those who may already lose sleep over problems such as this may lose more when they are roused out of bed for emergency stations. Getting dressed hurriedly in the dark on a winter's night is nothing to look forward to, especially when you are blundering out to a riot such as the Mt. Eden and Paparua prison riots. An unintential knock on the head by a colleague may help to wake the policeman up, but it <l0cs not give him any great pleasure, as one can well imagine. One most disheartening thing for a policeman to have happening is in the event of a trusted prisoner 'doing the dirty', in making a successful escape from prison when he had special privileges. I have read of a case of this, and pity the poor policemen, who pleased on hearing that their criminal had been transformed into reasonable citizen, awoke one morning to the news that the bird had flown. A policeman who is more attached to his home may regret : '

to find that he has not much time to spend with his family. In Britain, for instance, a policeman is never really off duty. His eighteen days annual leave is likely to be interrupted at any time by emergency stations, making the whole busines of free time for leisure very indefinite for those who are policemen. So a policeman has many hardships and few joys, and Gilbert and Sullivan were not far off the point, even nowadays, when they said, "When constabulary duty' to be done A policeman's lot i not a happy one". - Elizabeth Everist, 4A.

Citizens of the World. What a vast and complex thought that is. It encompasses the American, the Fijian, the Indian, the Asian, the Russian, the Swiss, the Englishman and the Pitcairn Islander. It includes the film star, the· businessman, the labourer, the professional, the statesman and the beachcomber. The millionaire and the pauper, the literate and the illiterate, the domineering and the dominated are all citizens of the world, whether they realize it or not and whether they like it or not. And so is the rather well-off schoolgirl of New Zealand. It i with this particular citizen of the world that I am going to deal. What, to this girl, is citizenship of the world? She has been taught at school, and probably at home, too, that there are many people, in other parts of the world, of other

colours, other religions, other tongue , who have not nearly a much to eat as she has. She has been shown films and given talks about the unspeakable poverty elsewhere. And she has been told again and again by teachers and preachers that it is her duty as a prosperous Christian in a flourishing country to do something for all those other people. So she prays in Church for "those less fortunate than ourselves", puts a present by the Christmas tree for "the poor children overseas" and has a great deal of fun raising money in variou ways for "our worthy causes". Although she does not read the paper from front to back she usually has a glance at the headlines every now and then and is shocked at the intolerance of the white Americans towards the Negroes, at the hatred between those on either side of the various curtains and walls, and at the horrors incurred by the petty greed of rulers. She will think of these things and decide that she is very lucky to be living in New Zealand, and will feel rather proud of her country and herself for having such catholic views on such subjects and will wish that the rest of the world did too. That, I think, is as far as the average schoolgirl goes in her thoughts on the world and her own place in it. But is citizenship of the world her duty towards others less fortunate than herself? It should not be. It should be her love and fellow-feeling towards everyone. With this feeling comes a sense of belonging and sharing, and then she feels that she wants to contribute to her community. When a child is very young her community extends no further that the garden gate. As she grows older the boundaries expand so that by the time she has spent a few years at school she feels that she belongs to the suburb she lives in and has an affection for most of the people she encounters. Soon, she can be heard talking about "our town" and she will possibly have a fellow-feeling towards all South Islanders ( or North Islanders) because they all belong to "the mainland" just as she does. She learns, mainly by being told and not through experience, to be proud of her whole country, which has such marvellous scenery, such good inter-racial relationships and produces such wonderful people - "Peter Snell is a New Zealander". From here her sense of belonging and fellowship may expand in several ways. She may feel a kinship with the "mother-country" and be proud of belonging to the Commonwealth. She may include all English-speaking peoples in her community or she may

ST.

MARGARET'S

just feel she belongs especially to Australasia. More rarely, her community may be that of the Pacific or South East Asian countrie . Very rarely does she feel a complete kinship with the whole world. But this is what she should feel. If we, and I mean the world, could produce a generation of people who e community boundaries had spread from the garden gate to encompass the whole world, then I am sure many of our problems would be well on the way to being solved. The New Zealand girl, as a member of an affluent society and with opportunities for an extensive education, should be the first to try and create this new generation. But, before thi can done, she must, herself, be a citizen of the world. How can this be achieved? First, she must not only receive the education given to her as a matter of course, but educate herself by gathering all the information on other countries that she can. But she must not neglect to observe her own countrymen, for it is by comparing people overseas with her neighbours that she realizes how alike they are ( even in their racial conflict). Walpole said, "This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel". I'm sure that if a person both thinks and feels, she will love the world because it is such a dear, funny, but sometimes, so sad thing. And when she loves she feels kinship and ha a ense of belonging; thus, immediately, her thoughts are those of a citizen of the world. But what about her actions? Obviously, every New Zealand girl cannot become a prominent figure in world affairs ( though it is to be hoped that in the future some will). An ordinary average citizen of the world is someone who take an active part in the life of her district, town and country. She need only think and feel that the world is her community, so bringing her children up to think and feel the same way. Who knows, but one day one of her de cendants will have a prominent position in the world, and then the way he ( or she) has been brought up will count a great deal! Have I given the impression that I feel that a citizen of the world is a hypothetical creature to be produced in the future? Because I believe that there are already many who look on the world as their community, erving it, pre erving it, and willing to sacrifice themselves for it, and that in the future their numbers will increase. I must believe this becau e the peace of the world lies in citizenship of the world. - Mary Holmes, 6L.

A DEFENCE OF SINGING IN THE BATH Singing in the bath has always been a favourite occupation of mine, and one which I am very loth to relinquish, despite the somewhat anguished protests which such activity invariably produces from the remainder of my family. "Why," they ask, "If you cannot simply do nothing in the bath, can you not read or knit or otherwise employ yourself in a somewhat quieter fashion?" To me, this argument seems quite unreasonable. For one thing, I fail to understand how anyone can possibly manage to read in the bath without either completely dousing the book with water, or else sitting in such an erect position, that one' exterior portion comes clo e to freezing. I should think it more advisable to leave the book for two minutes while one took a hasty shower, and then read it 'on dry land', as it were, thus solving the problem quite easily. If one is a lover of baths, a well as a book-worm, however, perhaps a waterproof book cover would help solve this tricky problem. I, however, do not believe that a bath is the place for eriou study, treating it rather as a place in which one may rid oneself of all th scratchine and irritability which a day at school and an evening of study invariably produce. You may say, "Why not relax in peace, without all this additional accompaniment?" My main reason i simply that singing help me to forget. I feel, in fact I know, that a few rounds of "Frere Jaques" sung reasonably loudly and boisterously in far more likely to clear my mind of all the more disagreeably difficult German noun ending, with which I may have been struggling, than if I were simply to lie quietly, consciously trying to forget them; at any rate, that is my view. Perhaps one of the main reasons for singing in the bath, is that the bathroom it elf is, virtually, a self-imposed 'prison' one may lock oneself in and sing, or whistle, or do whatever one wishes, entirely free of any fear of being 'dunked' or smothered by an irate brother. At school, when one suddenly breaks into tuneful chorus over one's apple at lunch-time, the rer.ital u ually lasts, at the most, approximately five seconds, by which time the singer has usually been intimidated by the equall strong choru of prote t from les appreciative friends, into silence. Were one to sing while walking along the street, the results are almost unthinkable, for in this age of strict conformity, such outrageous individuality would be stifled immediately, as are many other slightly unu ual practice .

solution, therefore, for one who love to ing, i either to go for a long, vocal walk in the country away from the crowd, or - and this is a decidedly more convenient tactic - to lock oneself in the bathroom. But whereas singing in the bath may be an extremely pleasant pastime, singing in the shower is decidedly more difficult and undoubtedly requires much practice.. The main reason for this difficulty is, of course, that in the howed one must not only compete with the equally vociferant drumming of the water on the cork matting, but also be careful to avoid wallowing some of this very water - it mu t be rather disconcerting, when one has just managed to reach a 'top F', to find one' brilliant achievement abruptly curtailed by receiving a mouthful of tasteless hot water, so that one's tuneful rendering of "Who i Sylvia"? becomes transformed into a rather unfortunate gargling sound. To sing in the shower, it appears that one must either grew at least another twelve inches, or else lower the aperture through which the water squirts, so that it i below the level of ones' mouth. However, I do not feel greatly inclined to attempt either of these things. Thus, I feel I may claim that my reason for bath-time singing are altogether infallible. My family, too, eem to have given up all its former plans for putting an end to thi practice., either because my voice has improved, or, and this is much more probable, because they have decided that the inconvenience involved in removing the bathroom key, so that they may take appropriate action against me, is not really worthwhile. So if, at any time, you should chance to hear trains of "Merrie England" wafting through the solid brick walls of a certain large twostoreyed house at ten at night, your presumptions as to their origin will, probably, be quite correct. - Sarah Woods. THE DAY FATHER KEPT HOUSE One day when my mother was suddenly called away, my father offered to look after the house for the day. We all wondered how he would manage and were soon to find out. First he told us to make our bed . After he had inspected them he thought he would do the washing, and so gathered up all the dirty clothes and tuck them in the washing machine, but when he took them out they were all pink, even Jane's white dresses. Quite by mistake Dad had put a red cardigan in with the washing and the dye had come out. Not knowing what else to do, we put them all back in the washing machine-except

of course, the red cardigan. While the clothes were being wa hed again my father decided to prepare the lunch. I uo-gested Macaroni Cheese and everyone agreed. After a few minutes search for the recipe-book, Dad said he could remember the recipe and told u what to get. Baby Jane wanted to help so I told her to get the mustard and put a bit in. oon the di h was in the oven and not long after it wa on the table. Expecting it to be ju t as u ual, we all took big mouthfuls and ugh ! ! Baby Jane had put lemon honey in instead of mustard o we had to have bread and jam. That at lea t was better than the Macaroni Chees . Suddenly I remembered the wa hing machine and turned it off. The washing was still a little pink but it was better o we hung it on the line. By now Dad was rather tired and had a re t while w took Baby Jane for a walk. Dad had made dinner by the time we arrived home and everything was perfect apart from the salad upon which he had put condensed milk instead of salad dre ing. When my mother arrived home he was pleased to ee that Dad had not done too badly and decided it would b quite afe to leave him in charge of the house ome other time. - Maureen Wil on, F.l.

The game stopped while the police re tored order. The second half was even noisier than the first, if po sible. You could hardly hear the announc r as fan houted, yelled or screamed encouragement to the All Blacks. The All Black gaining posse ion of the ball cored a goal to go into th lead.

A DAY IN THE 24th CENTURY "Time to get up", said the clock on the wall, "time to get up, time to get up". "Okay, okay," said I, drowsily climbing out of bed. As. I put one foot on the floor I remembered this was the day of my Girl Guide expedition to Jupiter. I walked to the conveyor belt which took me to the dressing machine. I pressed the button for daughter Sue and I was carried in. Two seconds later I was on my way to the kitchen. I pressed button A for bacon and egg pills. I swallowed them with the help of a glass of water which I obtained by pre ing button A15 on our food machine. I went to the television set by way of conveyor belts to listen to the weather forecast. "The weather on Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, Neptune and Earth is fine, but cloudy. On the remaining twelve planets there is warm unshine. Here end the universal weather forecast, read by John the brilliant robot". "I switched it off, deciding I would have to take my sunshine machine". "Time to go, tim to go", aid th clock on the wall, "time to go". "Alright, a right", I replied crossly, climbing into our newly invented lift. I went shooting out the top of the building to reach the rocket station in twenty minutes, pretty good for a two thou and mile journey. "All abroad for Jupiter at number ninety gate please", said the robot on loudspeaker duty. I walked down the corridor on the elevator of the mile long rocket. There I met Captain and the rest of the company. "Excited Sue?" a ked Captain. "Not a bit", I answered untruthfully. I was very excited as I had never been further than the aseroid belt before. Soon after this we started to move. The huge rocket lifted slowly off the ground but as soon as we were out of the atmosphere around Earth we sped away towards our destination. All of a sudden the ship came to an abrupt halt. A voice came over the loudpeaker aying we were adrift in space. Just then I opened my eyes. It was only a dream, thank goodness. Now, instead of dreaming about future times I would be content with the present. -
