OCTOBER 1960

EDITORIAL It was with great regret that we said good-bye to Miss Thouless at the end of the autumn term, and it is with sincere thanks for all that she has done for the school that we wish her every happiness in her retirement.

On the second weekend in June the Old Girls' Reunion was held here. A large number of old girls and staff came and it was a very happy weekend for everyone.

Once again Mrs. Hart has most generously devoted much of her time to the beautiful flower arrangements which decorate the school throughout the year. We are most grateful to her and to Miss Murfitt and the Sixth Form who do the chapel and dining-room flowers.

After the performance of St. Joan on Founders' Day we were very glad to hear Miss Plumer announce that it had been decided to begin the building of the new science laboratories in October.

St. Faith's, which has not been used as a boarding-house for some years, was sold this summer. A groundsman's cottage has been built outside the spinney near St. Margaret's. We are very glad that the front of the lime kiln which collapsed in January has been rebuilt.

The overall impression of the past year is that it has been happy and successful.

THE GOVERNORS, 1960 The Honourable Eleanor Plumer (Chairman).

Sir Edmund Compton, K.B.E., C.B. J. A. Keevil, Esq. Miss G. Kirby.

S. Lloyd, Esq. (Chairman, Finance Committee).

Mrs. Maclean.

Miss Major.

A. A. Martineau, Esq. The Reverend W. D. O'Hanlon.

W. A. Prideaux, Esq. The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Salisbury.

H. H. West, Esq. We were delighted in June to welcome Miss Major, Principal of St. Hilda's College, Oxford, as a governor of the school.

Everyone will be glad, I am sure, to know that at the June Governor's Meeting it was decided to start building the new Science Block.

The architect has been instructed to prepare working drawings and to get tenders and we much hope we shall see the building started before the new year.

We are most grateful to the governors for this encouraging decision and for all their care and work for us. It is always a great pleasure to us to see them here and we are particularly grateful to Miss Plumer for her many stimulating visits and for her great interest in the life of the school.

E.M.G. MISS THOULESS' RETIREMENT It was with very great sorrow that I received a letter from Miss Thouless towards the end of last summer holidays to say that her doctor was adamant that she must retire at Christmas.

As you know, Miss Thouless has been on the staff of St. Mary's since 1941 and her work for the school as Senior Mistress and as Head of the English Department has been invaluable. She set us very high standards by her own fine scholarship and outstanding integrity of character and she has been such a kind and wise friend to us all.

We were glad to have a chance of saying a little, at least, of what we thought and felt about her at a farewell party at the school in December at which we were delighted to welcome Gladys Beale to represent the old girls. At this party Miss Thouless was presented with a book on

birds and book tokens from the Governors, a cheque for £100 and a clock from the old girls, a silver coffee-pot, milk-jug and spoons from the staff and decanters from the school.

I am glad to be able to say that Miss Thouless has since had a really good holiday and trip to the Greek Islands. We were all delighted to see her at the Reunion in June and to see her looking so very much better.

THE STAFF In September we were very glad to welcome Miss Jenkins (Music), Miss Lewis (Classics), Miss Stoba (Library and English), Miss Tyler (Mathematics), Miss Jones (Cook) and Miss Duge who very kindly came over from Bath to help us with handwork for the Christmas fair. Unfortunately Miss Stoba had to leave us at half term and we were most grateful to Miss Williams who came over from Salisbury to teach English part-time.

We were very sorry indeed that Miss Thouless had to retire at the end of the Christmas term on doctor's orders. We were also very sorry to lose Miss Moore.

In January we welcomed Miss Bosanquet (Music), Miss Brain (Library and English), Mrs. Cherrington (German) and Miss Hensman

(English). Miss Bagwell, a History student from the Oxford University Department of Education, came to do her term's teaching practice at St. Mary's.

In April we were sorry to have to say good-bye to Miss Horton (Assistant Matron) and Miss Morrey (Cook).

In the summer term we were most grateful to Mrs. Jamieson who came to give Tennis coaching, while Miss Torrance was on tour with the Engfish Lacrosse Team in America, and to Miss Andersson, a Swedish student, who came as temporary assistant matron in June.

In July we were very sorry to lose Miss Devenish, Miss Matthews and Mrs. Stables.

Miss Lewis (Mrs. Warden) was married in January and Miss Murfitt (Mrs. Brecknell) in August. We are very glad that they are able to continue with us on the staff.

Concert at the Old Girls' Reunion,

We were very pleased during this year to welcome Miss Bosanquet and Miss Jenkins, We should like to thank all the music staff for their hard work during the year.

Kind members of the audience said that the Music Festival was a record performance this year. Perhaps they were deceived by its originality. Anyway, whatever the standard we all enjoyed performing under the baton of Dr. Jacques. The most original feature of the concert was Handel's "Acis and Galatea" sung by chorus with solos, and accompanied by the orchestra. Another highlight was a viola concerto by Telemann which Charlotte More played with the orchestra.

The Juniors sang settings of Shakespeare, ii

At the end of the term we had a carol service as usual in the Paristj Church. We tried out an experiment in this by processing round the church with candles at the beginning and end of the service. Although this did not go quite as smoothly as one might have hoped the congregation agreed that it was original.

We were lucky in having several varied recitals this year. After the exhilarating concert given by the Reizenstein Trio in the autumn it was very kind of Franz Reizenstein to come back again so soon to give us a piano recital which was especially stimulating as he played two of his own compositions. In the spring we had a very welcome visit from Anne Lloyd and a friend, Jane Herbert, who gave us an interesting programme of piano music and songs.

We were also very pleased to hear John Carol Case twice this year. In his song recital in the spring his programme was varied and thoughtfully chosen and he told amusing anecdotes about each song before he sang it. In complete contrast he gave a magnificent performance in the part of Jesus in the St. John Passion at Marlborough in which the VI and Upper VI took part.

The Upper V upwards were extremely fortunate in being able to go to the Bath Assembly again this year and in being able to choose between two different concerts in which Yehudi Menuhin was playing.

One was an unaccompanied recital in the Abbey given by Menuhin and Caspar Cassado, and the other was a concert of Bach chamber music led by Menuhin. Everyone was satisfied with her choice.

Grateful for the school's traditional high standards in music, we hope that the originality of this year will prove an opening to wider horizons.

Founders' Day: St. Joan. Bernard Shaw.

July i4th and I5th. Twelfth Night performed by Pembroke College, Cambridge.

July aoth.

The Alcestis: Euripedes performed by Bryanston School.

In Form Shakespeare this year considerable care had obviously been taken by the producers. The winning scenes from King Lear were wellgrouped and the speaking was clear and at a good pace. A great deal of trouble had been taken in this production and the difficult part of Lear was ably supported by the other principal characters. Both Twelfth Night and The Merchant of Venice were lively performances which reached a good standard, and the staging had been carefully arranged.

The Company Plays in the Spring Term presented a pleasant variety of choice.

Vanity Fair, performed by Osmund and Poore, reached a very good standard with excellent staging and scenery and the parts were well known.

The original production of Trial by Jury by Moberly was a great success and was enjoyed by everyone. The good soloists were ably supported by the chorus and capable piano accompaniment.

The Ghost Train, performed by Grossetete and Edmund Rich, provided an entertainment of thrills, suspense and fun. However, the sound effects were not sufficiently realistic and the actors, at times, could have been more sure of their lines.

Scenes from Shaw's St. Joan, which Miss Nesbitt produced for Founders' Day, achieved sincerity and unity, though many of the large cast made only one appearance. The scenery and the clothes were particularly successful. Judging by the audience's obvious appreciation, this was a memorable play.

Many members of the Sixth and Fifth forms have been lucky enough to see a varied selection of plays throughout the year. Everyone enjoyed these expeditions and we should like to take this opportunity of thanking the staff who arranged them.

The Rev. J. Bodger: New Guinea Mission.

Miss Spicer: Nigeria.

Miss Trevelyan: Foreign Students.

Dr. James: Food.

The talks which we have been given this year have served to stimulate our interests and broaden our outlook. They have been on a number of subjects varying from "Asia Today" to Dr. James's lecture on "Food."

At the beginning of the Autumn Term Mr. Frank Lowe lectured to us on birds and flowers in Scotland in a talk entitled "I'll take the Lowe Road" which he illustrated with some beautiful coloured slides.

A member of The Times' staff, Mr. Hills, gave us an extremely amusing lecture on the Press in which he presented figures and illustrations to show the amazing distribution of newspapers.

Mr. Gowing came once again to tell us about the St. Pancras Housing Society and the work which is being carried out in the North of London.

However, the field was by no means limited to England; the majority of the lectures were concerned with foreign countries. Miss Spicer gave us a most enlightening talk on Nigeria, its political and economic situation, and various problems which have arisen there.

Miss Neville Rolfe told us about her visit to Morocco and showed us some fascinating colour photographs. Mr. Ahman talked about the relationships between Asian countries.

In connection with the World Refugee Year Miss Janet Lacey gave us an excellent talk on her work and experiences and stimulated our monetary efforts.

On the subject of Missions Mr. Bodger described his work with the New Guinea Mission and the new schools and churches which he helped to build up and establish there. Another lecture on the welfare of children was given by Mrs. Buchanan, who told us about the Pestalozzi Village Trust and showed us slides and literature of the Children's Village.

Miss Trevelyan came in the Summer Term to tell us about foreign students in England. Her work is concerned with those of London University but she made us realize how difficult it is for all these students, especially coloured people, who come to this country.

14

We were extremely interested to hear about Hong Kong from Miss Gibbins and to learn about the school in which she worked.

Miss Hensman also described some of her experiences, and in a very tense hour took us across Mongolia with many exciting incidents and adventures.

We are most grateful that so many and varied lectures were arranged for us this year.

KAY COSTLEY-WHITE and GAY GOODMAN

LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT We have had two films this year, The Titchfield Thunderbolt, which was shown on the Saturday of the Spring Half-Term to those who did not go out, and The Mudlark, which was shown after Miss Thouless' leaving party and reduced most of us to tears. Both were greatly appreciated.

The Sixth Forms have had two informal dances this year to compensate for the fact that we were unable to hold our usual formal dance owing to our size !

The whole holiday given in honour of Princess Margaret's wedding day provided the climax of the year's entertainment. Having watched the wedding service on television in the morning, the school was provided with an excellent tea picnic by Miss Jackson. The Sixths went for bicycle rides and the rest of the school was taken to the Downs in buses. After supper the majority of the school returned to the television sets which had been hired for the occasion. They were, unfortunately, removed the next morning.

Altogether this has been a year of varied light entertainment which has been enjoyed by all sections of the community.

J. SEVENOAKS and R. STANLEY

THE REUNION From Friday to Monday of New Year's Reunion weekend, hosts of Old Girls poured upon us, and although at first we may have been inclined to feel a little overwhelmed by this invasion upon the seclusion of our cloistered existence, then cheerfulness and lively interest in everything that was going on quickly dispelled any preliminary awkwardness that may have been felt.

On Saturday morning the school made a half-hearted attempt~to work while the Old Girls assembled in mysterious conclave. In the afternoon, despite the rather gloomy sky, the more energetic members of the school and Old Girls took part in a spirited tennis tournament, after which players and spectators alike consumed Miss Jackson's delicious tea.

That evening after supper there was a concert at which many Old Girls contributed finished and lively performances to a varied and entertaining programme ending with the Toy Symphony which was played with great noise and gusto by everyone who could find an instrument.

Towards the end of a comparatively quiet Sunday, the guests began to depart, and on Monday we bade a final reluctant farewell to those who had been able to stay for that night.

The weekend was certainly a happy one for the school, and we hope very much that the Old Girls enjoyed it as much as we did.

THE SIXTH FORM

GREEK PLAY A small party of classicists, accompanied by Miss Wood and Mrs. Warden, very much enjoyed a performance of the Alcestis of Euripedes, which we saw acted at Bryanston School in Dorset. The open-air theatre, a model in the traditional Greek pattern, was an ideal setting for a production which closely followed the form of the original Athenian drama, and enabled a large audience both to see and hear successfully from their tiered stone seats.

The diction was clear despite the use of masks, which were extremely effective in portraying the different characters, and the rhythm of the choric passages was maintained by an excellent oboe accompanist. Unfortunately, the latter half of the play was performed in heavy rain, but this neither deterred the cast nor quenched the enthusiasm of the audience.

L. FINDEISEN and E. WRANGHAM

FIELD COURSE CENTRES At the end of March by the kind permission of Miss Gibbins, and the arrangement of Miss Heawood, four geography specialists from the Upper VI went to Juniper Hall Field Centre near Dorking. While there we spent a pleasant and instructive time learning much about the geography of the Weald. Included in the schedule were visits to Box and Leith Hill, a day spent mapping the Mole terraces, also a visit to the charming village of Shere and finally a coach tour across the North and South Downs as far as Brighton. Despite threatening skies rain held off until the last day when even a downpour did not entirely succeed in dampening the proceedings. We were grateful for the opportunity to see our theoretical geography put into practice and felt that we had spent an interesting and profitable week.

16

Last Spring Term five of us, accompanied by Miss Murfitt, went to Flatford in Suffolk to study plants and animals in their habitats. It was a specially interesting place to visit owing to its past connections with Constable. Every day we went out on foot, and on one occasion by train, to places where we could study the various aspects of plant and animal life. We found the salt marsh of the Stour estuary interesting because of the adaptations of the plants to this habitat. One day we measured the area of a pond and mapped it, and then we collected some animals and plants from the pond. On such occasions we spent the evening in the laboratory in the Mill identifying our specimens, where Miss Murfitt as at other times was always ready to assist us. By the end of the week we felt we had learnt a great deal, and had benefited from this most interesting course.

A. SMELLIE, J. KESSLER and R. HILL

WORLD REFUGEE YEAR Throughout the first eight months of World Refugee Year there was an undercurrent of pleadings flowing through the school that we should make some contribution towards the country's effort. It is true, the Music Festival collection raised £62; but it was unanimously felt that this was to be the beginning rather than the end of our effort.

The incentive to continue was given by the competition: "R for Refugee" which took place in the Spring Term. One had to guess the number of "R's" on the front page of the Daily Telegraph on Ash Wednesday. To our delight and surprise this raised £150.

It was then suggested that there should be a Company competition to see which one could raise the most money by May 31 st. Enthusiasm was soon aroused and money was brought in by every conceivable method.

Thanks to the unfailing help and generosity of the staff, parents and friends, and the enthusiasm of the school, St. Mary's contribution towards World Refugee Year reached the grand total of £377 ics.

World Refugee Year may have finished on May 3ist, 1960, but the'sufferings of the Refugees did not. The only way in which thousands of men, women and children throughout the world can return to leading decent human lives is through our continuing support.

Therefore it is imperative that this should not be the end of our effort.

SCIENTIFIC CLUB The Scientific Club has a large membership and flourished throughout the two Autumn Terms. Unfortunately it has not been functioning this term owing to the lack of Vlth Form members and the preoccupation of the Upper IVth with exams.

We were very lucky to have an interesting talk on various aspects of light from Mr. Leacy who very kindly spared a great deal of his valuable time to come down from the Bentley School for the evening.

Miss Tyler has spoken during the year on Nuclear Research and we very much hope that she will speak again next term.

There has also been a series of talks from members of the school on various scientific topics. This has in some cases been extremely entertaining as on the day when K. Costley-White, while talking about surface tension, demonstrated how to carry water in a sieve.

We should again like to thank Miss Aubrey, Miss Murfitt and many other members of the staff for their unfailing help and encouragement.

CHRISTIAN DUFF and WENDY LAUGHLIN

THE LIBRARY The Bodington and Coulter Libraries have been, as usual, a source of pleasure and knowledge to all members of the school.

One hundred and ninety new books have been acquired in the course of the year, some purchased from the Library Fund, and some the gifts of friends. Fifty books, mostly fiction, were the gift of the Upper Sixth, who very kindly presented them to the Library. We thank the Upper Sixth, and also all our other friends, who have so generously given us books and book-tokens. Miss Alexander still continues to have The Countryman sent to us, thereby giving much pleasure to readers in the Bodington Library.

In conclusion, very sincere thanks go to all those who have given so much time and energy in helping to keep the Libraries in good order.

Much unobtrusive and intelligent work has gone into their achievement, and we are all most grateful to them.

GAMES REPORT Although we have not won very many lacrosse matches this year we have enjoyed some very good games. We managed to be runners up in our section at the West of England tournament in March, but were not quite so successful at Merton.

We should like to congratulate Miss Torrance for maintaining her position in the All England lacrosse team and for doing so well in her matches when touring America.

This year the Wiltshire Girls' Schools Tennis Tournament was held here which was great fun. After a bad beginning the ist couple surprised everybody, including themselves, by winning the cup for the second year in succession.

We did not enter for the Aberdare Cup this year which enabled us to play more School matches. The under 14 team played very well in their one match against Godolphin.

We were not so lucky with the weather this term, but in spite of this we seem to have been able to have all our swimming matches.

Miss Barkley and Miss Torrance were tremendously encouraging and, although we did not win our matches, they provided both the teams and spectators with much excitement.

Company swimming was, as usual, extremely hilarious and nearly everybody took some part this year.

Everyone who entered for the Royal Life Saving tests passed and those taking the award of merit gained exceptionally high marks.

We would very much like to thank Miss Barkley and Miss Torrance for all the help and encouragement which they have given us during the year.

LETTER FROM MISS GIBBINS St. Mary's School, Calne, Wilts., August ist, 1960.

My dear Old Girls, I would like to start off this letter by sending our good wishes to you all. It is always a great joy to hear from you, better still to see you and we were delighted to meet so many of you this year at the Reunions —both at the tea-party in London in January and at the weekend here in June.

We have had some notable visitors here this year. It was a great delight early in July to hear Miss Rose Matthews' voice on the telephone and to be able to have her here to tea the next day. On the same day, Mile Antoine arrived to stay. It really was like old times to have her at St. Mary's and I was so glad that several old girls visited the school while she was here. We were delighted that Miss Thouless was able to come to the Reunion and to see her looking so much better in health. It was a great pleasure, too, to have Dr. and Mrs. Ede here to tea at the Reunion.

We are very proud to have six old girls' daughters coming as new girls next term. This brings the total of old girls' daughters at present in the school to twenty-five and must be a record, I think.

We shall also have a record-size Upper Sixth next term—thirtyseven. We are giving them a second large room and are glad to say, that by the addition of a third round table, it will be possible for them all to have tea together ! It will be very interesting to have such a strong group at the top of the school and I believe we shall benefit from it very much.

I know that you will be pleased to know that the Governors have decided to go ahead with the building of the new science block. We have not collected all the money needed but we have enough to justify this start. I do want to take this opportunity of thanking very warmly all those who have contributed to the appeal and made it possible to build. The new block will be a one-storey building with three large laboratories and ancillary rooms built of the same stone as the Matthews Building and the New Wing. Several sites have, of course, been considered but I think the final one will be beyond the New Wing stretching down into St. Cecilia's orchard.

I am sure you will all share our pride in the fact that Mary Harrison won the Gold Medal for Nursing and Juliet Tweddell, the Silver Medal, at St. Thomas's this year. It was but fitting that an account of the presentation should have been sent me by Gwen Kirby, herself trained at St. Thomas's and now Matron of Great Ormond Street!

With love and good wishes to you all, Yours ever, ELIZABETH M. GIBBINS

LETTER FROM MISS ALEXANDER Picardy Hotel Meyrick Road, Bournemouth August, 1960.

My Dear Old Girls, The time has come round again to write my Annual letter to you.

I hope it has been a good year for everyone.

We go along very quietly and uneventfully. In June we went away for three weeks to Shaldon, South Devon—a little place on the estuary of the river Teign near Teignmouth. We had perfect weather all the time, the hotel garden sloped down to the water and we spent most of our time sitting in it watching the shipping of which there was a considerable amount. We had an old school friend with us and a friend of hers.

The hotel is full up for the season, I shall be glad when it is over and we return to having just our normal residents.

Much love to you all and very best wishes for your happiness.

Yours affectionately, Alex.

LETTER FROM O.G.A. CHAIRMAN W.R.A.C. School of Instruction, Huron Camp, Hindhead, Surrey.

Dear Old Girls, You will see from the list of O.G.A. Officers at the beginning of the supplement that we have four new Vice-Presidents, Miss Jackson, Miss Nesbitt, Miss Stalkrd and Miss Weetman. I know that you will be delighted that they have all accepted the Commander's invitation to become full members of the Association. You will also be glad to know that Mrs. Hart has agreed to become a permanent ex-officio member of the committee. She does so much for the Old Girls Association already, for which we are most grateful, and it will be a great help to have her present at our meetings.

The Reunion held at St. Mary's in June was a very happy occasion.

A great number of Old Girls came, including a most satisfying number of "new" Old Girls, which was delightful. Miss Gibbins, the Staff and the senior members of the School were, as always, the most perfect hostesses. It is, particularly for those of us who are "getting on", a great joy to return to St. Mary's, and be immediately absorbed into the life of the School, we do indeed feel young again, and are very grateful to Miss Gibbins for bringing about this miracle!

With good wishes to you all Yours affectionately, Gwyneth Fleetwood-Jones.

LETTER FROM MISS THOULESS Flat 8, 16 Cyprus Road, Exmouth, Devon.

July, 1959.

My dear Old Girls, This is the first opportunity I have had really to say thank-you to you for your most magnificent present on my retirement last Christmas.

I was able to get with it a television set, and that and the very many other lovely things you gave me give me much pleasure. At every turn I am reminded of you and of St. Mary's !

I do hope that any of you who are down this way will come to see me.

With love to you all, Yours affectionately, E. MARGARET THOULESS 25

ALEXANDER-THOULESS BURSARY It was decided at the July Reunion to try to raise enough money for a second bursary for the daughters of Old Girls, as the Matthews Bursary can now only provide sufficient funds for one.

It was suggested the new bursary should be called the AlexanderThouless Bursary to commemorate the work of two outstanding women as Senior Mistresses at St. Mary's (1915-1959). Very few members of the O.G. A. were not at school with either of them.

If we could raise ÂŁ50 per annum under deed of covenant, we should have enough, with yearly donations and the tax rebate as well.

Three Old Girls have given a splendid start by promising nearly ÂŁ20 between them. Surely we can find the rest?

Full details and covenant forms can be obtained from Gladys Beale, The Yews, Minchinhampton, Glos.

RUSSIAN HOLIDAY Russia is an exciting country to visit for its own sake for eastern influences have helped to bring about a distinctive Russian tradition and it was interesting to observe these efforts to make communism itself a tradition and to build up a cultural heritage since the revolution of 1917. The past is not forgotten and history is selective mostly with reference to anti-communistic happenings for the career of Ivan the Terrible, for example, is accepted with comparative equanimity.

Much of Moscow has been rebuilt in recent years and the towering skyscrapers crowned with spires present a striking contrast to the settlements of wooden houses clustered round collective or state farms which we saw as we crossed Russia by train. Leningrad again is different, retaining the unity of eighteenth-century St. Petersburg in the beautiful palaces and buildings spaciously designed around the banks of the Neva.

The people seemed very friendly; we were received officially as a British delegation, and it seems that every effort is made so that bona fide travellers may receive the best impression of the country and also in the streets or on crowded trams we were often approached by eager Russians probably because they came across few foreigners. Absolute equality certainly seems to exist and women take their full share in what we should call men's work. We were taken round a car factory by a woman engineer where the workshops were hung with such slogans as "Long live Soviet women: active builders of communism", we were driven in buses by women and saw a woman manipulating a 26

BANK OF THE RIVER LOIRE

THE TRIAL

pneumatic drill idly watched by two men! Clothes are drab and one saw very few women wearing hats (although the men did) or highheeled shoes and I think this is to be explained by the lack of choice in the shops. There is, of course no advertising and little attempt to set out goods attractively.

We were invited to a worker's party in one of the palaces of culture and the festivities began by our walking in between rows of young pioneers, the organization of Soviet youth, who thrust bunches of flowers into our hands afterwards singing a welcoming song.

There were lengthy speeches laden with political implications from each of the eight different countries represented, stress being laid upon the need to spread peace and friendship among the youth of the world.

It was an unforgettable party and an uncomfortable one.

One of the things I found hard to understand was the acceptance of seemingly blatant propaganda but in this way the people are really made to feel they have a share in the activity of the state. There is certainly no lack of interest for we found, for example, on our visit to the mausoleum to see the embalmed bodies of Lenin and Stalin, lying in a bkck marble hall, the queue was vast although Stalin died as long ago as 1953. The cult of Lenin, Stalin being somewhat out of favour, is powerful and huge photographs have been set up in various parts of Moscow. In Leningrad he is everywhere in the numerous statues, pictures and relics of his life.

As far as I could gather religion does not obviously play an important part in Russian life for most of the famous churches are museums and although there are fifty active orthodox churches in Moscow I was told that the congregations mostly consisted of those who went to church before the days of the Revolution. In Leningrad there is an active mosque. I was impressed by the different atmosphere in Warsaw, where, in the old city, there was a catholic church about every twenty yards, all of which were occupied that evening and some crowded to the doors, where there was a service in progress. Although most Russians no longer participate in religious ceremonies it has been decided that a certain amount of ceremonial is psychologically beneficial. For example, in Leningrad we were shown the palace of marriage which provides for a white wedding in a registry office.

We attended one ceremony; music was switched on as the couple entered surrounded by relatives carrying bunches of flowers wrapped in newspaper, A man in a green shirt read a short homily about the need to bring up a good family etc., the register was signed and congratulations given, the whole ceremony being completed in half-anhour including five minutes in which to drink champagne!

The Russians enjoy all that is going on from the ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre or revolutionary museums to the Kremlin building 27

or the permanent exhibition of economic achievement housed in exotic temple-like buildings. They are very proud of their traditions such as their folk dancing as well as of the present achievements notably in the field of scientific research. Art, as other cultural activities, is important to them although in my opinion it is here marred by the restrictions imposed by the Soviet cult of realism. Abstract painting has no place in official Soviet art and foreign pictures of this sort, such as the one or two by Picasso in the Hermitage, are not appreciated.

The modern sculptures too, might well have been created by a single person. On the other hand there has been a move away from the lavish ostentation of some of their buildings, notably the marblehailed metro stations for these are to be designed more simply in the future. In many of the churches the wall paintings which were crudely superimposed upon the more beautiful ones of an earlier style are being removed. It seems to me that in every field the Russians are anxious to move forward but along their own carefully prepared lines.

This is only a brief indication of the many impressions of Russia that I carried away with me and I feel many of these may have been false or at best superficial. I should like to see more of Russia and to gain a better understanding of her people dwelling in an atmosphere of communistic ideology curiously mingled with their own unique "Russian-ness".
