EDITORIAL No-one could say that school life is dull, for there have been a great many activities this year. Among them were three concerts at the Bath Assembly and a visit to Stratford, all in one week in the Summer Term.

The slight apprehension caused by a General Inspection in the Autumn Term was greatly relieved when we heard that the inspectors had given the school a favourable report. Before they left they very kindly gave us a book token with which we have bought the new Oxford atlas.

There has been a grand revolution in the library, which is being put on to the Dewey System, to make it easier for checking and for finding books. About half the library has been rearranged during the Summer Term, through the unflagging energy of Miss Lancaster and Susan Glover.

Another change that has taken place this year is that we were allowed to go horns by car for half term in the summer. This, however, was only an experiment. Those left behind had a full weekend as they went to the Scout and Guide rally at Bowood, at which Princess Margaret was the guest of honour, and also to Wilton House.

We were very lucky in escaping epidemics this year. We have had only a, few cases of chicken-pox and one slight case of German measles. Owing to German measles at Marlborough no-one was able to go to the dance in the summer, which was disappointing.

An anonymous donor has very kindly given us a superb gramophone with an amplifier. Listening to records has been made much more enjoyable by its beautiful tone. It also promises a longer life for the records.

Mr. Christie was the preacher on Founder's Day this year, and we sang "Let us now praise famous men" instead of having it read as a lesson, and Stanford's setting to the Te Deum in place of the one we usually sing.

I think everyone would agree that this has been a happy and successful year for the school.

The music heard and performed by the School this year has varied widely: from the clear-cut harmony of Byrd's motets to the revolutionary discords of Gordon Jacob 1 We were very pleased to hear Lance Dossor for the first time on October i8th. His recital began with a sonata by Haydn and even •when he had exhausted his exciting programme, he was compelled by persistent clapping to play several encores.

The direction of Dr. Jacques in the Music Festival, once again inspired the performers to do credit to all the work and trouble taken by Mr. Guest and the Music Staff. The two main works in the programme were Gordon Jacob's " A Goodly Heritage" and Gustav Hoist's "Rig Veda." The former was chosen by Dr. Jacques himself. It took some time for everyone to become accustomed to its modern harmonies, but it grew on us more and more as we practised it, and provided an interesting contrast to the more conventional music. The " Rig Veda ", a cycle of four sacred Hindu songs, was very exhilarating to sing, the last one especially reaching a high pitch of excitement. The orchestra contributed two works differing both in style and period: A "Concerto for Strings " by John Stanley, and " Rhos-y-medre," a prelude by R. Vaughan Williams.

Ten days later, the Sixth Forms were invited to Marlborough College to hear a concert given by the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Mr. Hylton Stewart. This was almost entirely devoted to the works of Mozart.

The annual Carol Service in the Parish Church was held as usual on the last Sunday' of Term. The programme included " Four Old English Carols " by Hoist, and " Balulalow" by Peter Warlock, which enhanced the Christmas atmosphere just as much as the more traditional hymns : " While Shepherds Watched," " O Come all Ye Faithful," and " Hark, the Herald Angels Sing."

In February, Gareth Morris, accompanied by Mr. Guest, gave a delightful recital, which included a familiar sonata by Handel and several modern works. We were especially impressed by his superb tone.

On March ijth we had a charming recital from two Old Girls ; Rosamund Strode (soprano) was accompanied by Jill Burrell. The programme was very varied and interesting, including an enchanting Haydn Ark and several amusing folk songs.

The chief musical event in the Spring Term was the performance of the Brahms " Requiem," which we sang with MarlboFough College.

This entailed rehearsals once a week in the College Chapel, and finally on the day, Mr. Hylton Stewart, the conductor, raised out enthusiasm in the rehearsals, and made the performance an experience we shall never forget.

10

This year the Sixth and Fifth Forms went once again to the Bath Assembly. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham gave two concerts on consecutive evenings. These represented two contemporaries, Mozart and Haydn. On the first evening they played, amongst other things, the Jupiter Symphony in C maj., and six very attractive German Dances; the last of which finished in a very striking way, with a solo trumpet playing off-stage.

In the second concert, the main work was the famous " Surprise,"' Symphony in G major, part of which was played again as an encore.

Only a few people were able to go to the recital given by Yehudi Menuhin and Louis Kentner on Wednesday, May 28th, as it coincided. with our visit to Stratford. Those who went, found that he evert surpassed their high expectations. After Yehudi Menuhin had played four sonatas by Beethoven and Mozart, he also played three encores in spite of the overpowering heat.

Every three years the schools of Salisbury Diocese are invited by the Friends of the Cathedral to give a recital of sacred music. This year we sang a selection of short works, two of which were unaccompanied. The conductors were Mr. Guest and the musical directors, of three other schools. We spent the whole day at Salisbury rehearsingin the morning, and performing in the afternoon. The recital was a great success and we only wish it happened every year.

It was evident by the great applause that greeted Julius Isserlis when he arrived, that the school was longing for his recital. Many of us have heard him before. Again he gave a remarkable performance, and played at a fantastic speed. Among other things, he played Bach's. " Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue;" Brahms' " Paganini" Variations, and some Chopin Studies. Everybody was entranced, and we all hope he will come again in the near future.

Last autumn we were very pleased to welcome Miss Seldon whocame instead of Miss Lewellen to teach the piano. We should particularly like to thank her for all the hard work she has put into the rhusic for the ballet. We were also very much honoured to have Mr. Bernard Shore to inspect the School Music in October. We are alsa very sorry to lose Miss Fawkes, who has done so much for the music of the school.

We congratulate Miss Williams on the excellent work she does for the School Orchestra. We are very proud that a Junior Orchestra, has now started and were delighted to hear it play at the end of term, concert in the summer.

We should very much like to thank Miss Gibbins and Miss Nesbitt for all the delightful concerts they have arranged for us. throughout the year; and finally we owe many thanks to the music Staff, especially to Miss Nesbitt and Miss Williams for their unceasingefforts to keep the standard of the music of the school at so high a. level.

Stratford May 28th. The Tempest.

As well as going to Stratford to see The Tempest and to a Nativity play in Calne Church the school's own drama this year has been very varied.

In the Spring Term the Companies produced three plays which showed a surprisingly high standard of acting. Osmund and Moberly's performance of The Good Companions was a lively production and die acting was good in spite of the size of the cast, which contained every member of both Companies. The dialect was well sustained throughout the play. Tilly of Bloomsbury, produced by Edmund Rich and Poore, in spite of a rather desperate dress-rehearsal which was full of technical surprises, successfully kept the audience laughing at Ian Hay's amusing plot. The Edwardian costumes were very effective.

Grosstdte's performance of The Immortal Lady was a pleasing contrast to the hilarity of the other two plays and was a well finished production. An atmosphere of tension was successfully sustained throughout the play, and a great deal of work had been put into making some effective scenery.

12

The standard of acting in Form Shakespeare in the Autumn Term was also high. It was decided that the cup should be awarded for the best all-round production rather than to the one containing the best individual acting. The Lower Sixth's scenes from Macbeth were exceptionally well thought-out and it was a very finished and imaginative production. The Upper Fifth were limited in their -choice of a play, but did well in some scenes from Henry V. The scenes were perhaps rather lifeless but this form spoke exceptionally well. It was felt that a great deal of trouble had been taken over Form Shakespeare and a high standard had been reached.

The Senior Play-reading Society gave three formances in the Autumn and Spring Terms and in the Spring Term a Junior Play-reading Society was formed with the help of Miss Lancaster. Richard of Bordeaux, The Importance of being Earnest and The Rivals read by the Senior Society were much appreciated. The Junior Society read two short plays, Fat King Melon and Archibald, which were a great success, and the enthusiasm and enjoyment of the actors was conveyed to the audience.

A special performance of Mary the Mother, a fifteenth century Nativity play produced by the Calne Church Players, was arranged for the School at the end of the Autumn Term. We were much impressed by the way in which different parts of the church were used as a background to the action of the play and by the effective use of candlelight in the finale of carol singing.

In spite of misgivings about the weather early in the day our visit to Stratford took place in beautiful sunshine. On arriving at our destination we separated to explore the town and to visit the places connected with Shakespeare, and were provided with excellent picnic lunches.

The performance began at 2 o'clock. We were all impressed by the wonderful stage-effects to which the play is so suited. The atmosphere of the strange island was very effectively conveyed to the audience. In the first scene the waves of the sea were ingeniously represented by dancers. The scenery remained the same throughout except when such things as the vision of the feast appeared as if by magic. Margaret Leighton, a delicately graceful Ariel, seemed a weird unearthly spirit, and Caliban's impressive performance was made even more effective by his green and slimy appearance and his habit of chewing a large and slippery fish. Although it is hard to criticise the performance, it was generally felt that although the acting combined with the scenery to make the play so delightful, the acting was not really up to the standard of the production.

This year has been a very good one for drama. There has been much interest in acting and in seeing plays, and a great deal of work has been put into all productions.

Centuries.

When I looked at the list entitled " Lectures of the Year " my heart sank: " How," I thought, " could anyone write an article on subjects with so little connection as ' The Birds of the Saltee Islands ' and ' Drama through the Centuries '—' An Expedition to Iceland' and ' Modern Architecture'?" Indeed, the lectures which we have been fortunate enough to hear during the year have been so different that it is impossible to say which was the most popular, for they were all very interesting.

Mr. Barlee's lecture on the birds of the Saltee Isknds, illustrated •with photographs taken by him and his companions, took place on the first Friday of the Autumn Term, making a very pleasant start to the school year. Later in the term Canon Smethurst gave two very interesting talks to the Sixth Forms on comparative religions and the grounds for accepting the Christian faith, which many people found very helpful.

Mrs. O'Hanlon made her lecture on drama through the centuries very vivid and entertaining by acting passages from various plays, while Air-Commodore Coats illustrated his very amusing talk on a holiday in Kashmir with drawings on the blackboard.

We were taken a long way from Kashmir by Mr. Lewis, who described his experiences on a geological expedition in Iceland and showed us a film which was made on the journey. A great contrast to this was Mr. Wright's lecture on modern architecture, which gave us a great deal to think about, for it was very interesting to see the sort of houses future generations may inhabit, though most people decided that they preferred to live in more conventional dwellings.

Altogether we have been very lucky this year in having so many interesting lectures, and we must thank all who have so kindly come to speak to us.

HOLIDAYS AND ENTERTAINMENTS We have been as lucky as ever this year in the number of our holidays and entertainments. Beside those mentioned here, there have been numerous concerts, plays, and lectures, which are described in other articles. We are very fortunate to have so many extra interests included in our school life.

The Staff gave a party in the Autumn Term just after we had endured the harassing ordeal of the General Inspection. All were required to attend in some form of head-dress. A considerable amount of garden produce found its way on to the varied creations. After the judging we played several games and joined in a treasure hunt.

On the day after the General Election we were given the afternoon off to listen to the results on the wireless. They were followed with great excitement. At half-term the Lower VI invited the School one evening to dancing on the poop deck of H.M.S. Canute, i.e. in the hall, which was suitably decorated. They provided refreshments, and gave a short, very amusing, cabaret entertainment in the interval.

The school dance took place on December 8th and was enjoyed enormously. Beside about forty boys from Marlborough and Clifton, seven girls from the Royal School, Bath, were present. The Upper V meanwhile improved the minds of the rest of the school with recitationsof certain cautionary tales and Ruthless Rhymes.

The half-term expedition in the Spring Term was to Castle Combe. Several members of the Upper VI went by bus to Marlborough for the morning, and spent a regrettable amount of money on lunch and oddments. In the evening those of " A Dancing " who were not out, and a few others, went to a square dancing party at Dauntseys School. Most of the boys wore brightly coloured scarves, check shirts, and even one or two patches on their trousers, sewn on for the occasion. It was a very cheerful, energetic, evening. At the end of term an entertainment, which included songs and recitations, was given in the Community Centre for the Calne 6o-Plus Club.

On Ascension Day we all went in five coaches—to Savernake Forest for our annual picnic. We decided not to go to Sandy Lane this year as Lord Lansdowne has let the shoot in Bowood and we are therefore not able to walk as freely there as we used to do. It was a. beautiful day, and although we were sorry not to see the rhododendrons, we spent a very pleasant afternoon walking in the woods. Those who did not go home at half-term went to a Scout and Guide Rally in.

Bowood, where they caught several glimpses of Princess Margaret, the guest of honour. On the following Monday they went to see Wilton House and were much impressed by it. A visit was made at the same time to Wilton Carpet factory, where they were shown carpets being woven by hand. The school performed a ballet, " The Twelve Dancing Princesses," on Founders' Day, which was greatly enjoyed by the audience and the dancers themselves. The Sixth

Forms were unfortunately unable to go to the Marlborough Dance, as there were several cases of German measles in the College.

Altogether we have had a generous number of excursions and parties this year. It is Miss Gibbins and the Staff we must thank for making it possible to fit them in besides our everyday work.

B. CRAWLEY

THE BALLET From the day last Term when we were told that we were to do a ballet on Founders' Day, everybody seemed to plan and work without stopping, and I do not think their efforts were wasted. Grimms' Fairy-tale, " The Twelve Dancing Princesses " was an inspired choice for a theme, as the scenes of such a story provided an opportunity for original and graceful dancing. The charming island scene, showing; the princesses' nightly revels, was especially suitable to be represented in this way, and the light-hearted finale made an effective climax. The delightful back-cloths, with their shining spires or necromantic flames so enhanced the fairy-tale atmosphere that magic seemed the only suitable thing to happen in such surroundings. Clever acting; and imaginative choreography made the ballet more than an attractive dance by bringing out the characters of the various parts. The suitable and skilfully contrived costumes mingled in a kaleidoscope of brilliant colours, and the music helped the dancers as well as delighting the audience. In short, the ballet was a great success, and both performers and spectators enjoyed it thoroughly.

J. CHRISTIE THE BODINGTON LIBRARY Many members of the Upper VI and VI deserve much praise for the way in which they have run the library this year. The reclassifying and cataloguing of many sections has made a great deal of extra work which the librarians have undertaken most cheerfully.

We are hoping that the new system, when completed, will enable a fuller use to be made of the library in the future.

During the year the number of books in.the library has increased rapidly. Up to the present moment one hundred and thirty books have been added from various sources. We are very grateful for the kind gifts of the following people i— Miss Gibbins Miss Alexander Miss Thouless Miss Bompas Miss Nesbitt H.M. Inspectors

THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY The society has been very lucky in having expeditions and walks nearly every week.

The first expedition was to Bowood Lake, where we watched tirds. Through binoculars we were able to see the herons on their :nests. There were four great crested grebes on the other side of the Jake, where they had their nests among the reeds, and two moorhens were swimming on the lake.

On June 5th we went to the downs, and took supper with us, which we ate at Oliver's Camp. We found spotted butterfly, and fragrant orchids besides other flowers. Another week we went for a walk along the canal, where we found a great many flowers and saw a water rat. We went to the downs again on June i9th.

Miss Aubrey arranged all these expeditions for us. She also helped us with our collections of pressed flowers and butterflies. We should like to take this opportunity of thanking her for this and all other help to us during the year.

P. ATHORPE and P. TANQUERAY

GAMES REPORT Autumn 1951—Summer 1952 There has been a slight change in our games this year: we have four new tennis courts on Lansdowne, which are a great improvement on the former ones on Pitch I. This means that we have been able to play more tennis, and cricket has deteriorated into tip-and-run. Unfortunately cricket did not receive its annual incentive, the father's match, as we went home at Half Term, when it usually takes place. When the " Rustics " and the " Casuals " came over from Marlborough, we played tennis instead of cricket, and had two mixed tournaments which were a great success.

Company tennis did not take place this year, as we had so many other engagements that there was not time for it.

After having some very good lacrosse matches in the Autumn Term, we did not do as well in the spring, because some of the team had left. However, the Merton kcrosse tournament was enjoyed by •everyone, and the team was greatly cheered on by patriotic old girls and spectators. We came third in our section, but had some very exciting matches.

LETTER FROM MISS GIBBINS St. Mary's School,.

Calne, Wilts.

July zyth, 1951.

My Dear Old Girls, This letter, as usual, brings you very warm greetings from us all.

It has been lovely to see so many of you here either for weekends or for short visits and I hope you realise not only how much we like tosee you but how stimulating your visits are to the school.

We are very glad to have " News of Old Girls " back in the News Sheet. I am afraid in other ways this has had to be rather an economy number and we have cut out original contributions tp reduce the cost of printing.

I hate writing about money but I am afraid I must write about the News Sheet finances. The cost of printing has doubled in the last seven years and we have had to pay for the cost of the News Sheet: year by year partly out of capital built up by life subscribers in the past This capital will be exhausted this year and, unless we can build it up again, something drastic will have to be done—either the NewsSheet will have to be much smaller or else we shall only be able to bring it out every two years. In last year's issue, Susan Rotherham asked if members who took out their Life Subscriptions a long whileago could manage either to renew them or to send a further contribution. Very few members have done this. We all know how busy everyone is and how difficult it is to remember to do things like this but I do hope that a great many of you will help in this way this year..

If you took out a Life Subscription only 12 years ago at 25/-, you. have already had 12 News Sheets at 2/6 per copy. The price of each.

News Sheet is now 3/6 and the new Life Subscription is £z. I am sure you will appreciate the situation and will do what you can.

Any suggestions about raising a capital fund for the News Sheet will be welcomed by Susan Rotherham and by me. It has been alreadysuggested, for instance, that we might save considerable expense bjr stopping the letters which come to you in the Spring and putting the cost of these towards the News Sheet.

The school year has been a happy one—full of activity which you will read about elsewhere. I should just like to mention one newdevelopment in Calne. A Sixty-Plus Club has come into existence with over 180 members. This has meetings every month which are 21

much enjoyed by the old people and the school has had the great pleasure of entertaining the Club twice this year—by a concert in the Spring Term and a special performance of the Ballet this term, followed by refreshments. We are very glad to have this chance of doing something practical for old people whose lives are so difficult in these days.

With love and good wishes to you all, Yours affectionately, ELIZABETH M. GIBBINS P.S. Since writing this letter I have heard from Ruth Baker that several renewed L,3e Subscriptions have come in. Thank you so much. We shall still be very grateful to others who feel that they can help in this way.

E.M.G. CHAIRMAN'S LETTER As the Committee have not met since the notices were sent out in.

March there is not much to report.

It has been decided to award the grant from the Matthews Legacy this year to an Old Girl, who has only recently left St. Mary's, to help her with her initial expenses before beginning a training. This is one of the purposes for which the O.G.A. decided the money should be used and we hope it will be of real help to an Old Girl who has a warm recommendation from Miss Gibbins.

Many interesting experiences are told in the O.G.A. newsAlthough it would be difficult to choose which of many are worthy of comment, I might perhaps single out Gwen Kirby's, as Matron of the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street. She received the Queen on her recent visit to the Hospital and had much to do in connection with the Centenary Celebrations there. We have had glowing accounts of how well she carried out these duties, although we cannot say the Press photographs do her justice !

Many Old Girls continue to visit St. Mary's where they always, receive a warm welcome from everyone. I had a happy week-end there and on Founders' Day met several old friends which was great fun, although it was sobering to find them in possession of daughters old enough to be at St. Mary's !

I should like to thank Miss Gibbins again for all she does for the O.G.A. and for the welcome we always receive at St. Mary's. I should also like to thank Miss Thouless especially, and the rest of the Staff and the present girls, who make our visits to the School such pleasant ones.

Finally the grateful thanks of many Old Girls go to Miss Alexander who forms the connecting link between so many of us. Certainly these three do everything in their power to see that the friendships formed between us at St. Mary's are not broken.

G. D. BEALE 22

LONDON REUNION, January 1953 The Reunion was again held at the Royal Empire Society, most comfortably and smoothly, thanks to Daphne Hort's good work.

Miss Gibbins and Miss Thouless were there to welcome us all and. in addition, for many of us it would be worth while going simply because it gives us an annual chance of seeing Miss Alexander. A lot of people go, I think, with the slight sinking feeling " I shan't know a soul," and everyone always meets plenty of contemporaries and comes away glad they went. This year it was particularly nice to see Eileen Duveen (Gowers) and Betty Adelman (Adnitt), whom some of us haven't seen for years, and of course, no Reunion would be a Reunion without Ivy Martin, Gladys Beale and several other stalwarts. Susau Rotherham (Hayter) was there too : we owe her a big debt for all the work she puts in as our Secretary. There seemed to be a splendid number of the younger generation and it is only a pity one is so taken up with talking to those one does know that it is difficult to meet those ^who have hitherto been only names in the News Sheet. Names-tags were worn and were helpful.

ANNE LE MESURIER Those of us who were at St. Mary's with Anne will remember a vital, independent, intelligent girl, well able to weigh up the rights and wrongs of a case and quick to defend what she considered to be just.

We were not surprised when she decided to make social service her profession, nor were we surprised at her triumphant success. Since leaving school Anne has carried into an ever widening circle just that integrity of mind and of spirit which she brought to St. Mary's and which was deepened and enriched by her life there. Latterly she had been the Senior Psychiatric Social Worker of a social service unit, run 33

by the Local Authority and the Mental Hospital in the Portsmouth area for the benefit of the mentally ill. She had much to do •with the training of Psychiatric Social Worker students. They and her colleagues above all know how high she set her professional standards, and will, with her family and her old friends, mourn her early death.

She will be remembered^ however, even more for the warmth and humanity of her character, her enjoyment of life and her sense of humour, which resulted in so many of those with whom she came in contact becoming much loved personal friends. Recently we have been asking each other " Had anyone, ever, so many friends ? " But it is those who were with her in her last illness who will testify to her greatest triumph. She had been ill for a year, fatally ill, to her own. knowledge since February. Never once did she falter, never once was she in doubt. Her final passing was indeed peaceful and happy, for her final victory was the victory of an absolute and perfect faith.
