EDITORIAL

This year the school is especially grateful to the Old Girls for so kindly presenting a magnificent film projector. Whether illustrating the construction of Hadrian's Wall or the life of a Reed Warbler or even a tourist's impression of South Africa, the projector has been most successful.

We were very glad to welcome many of the donors of this gift at a most enjoyable Summer Reunion at St. Mary's.

During the past few months we have been viewing with great interest the activities around Quarry Pond. The pleasant transformation of this part of the garden is already becoming apparent.

Not many people have had a chance of being idle this year. The old societies have flourished and these, with some new ones for the junior part of the school, have provided much pleasure and amusement.

SALLY RICHARDS

THE GOVERNORS, 1961 The Honorable 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 Canon W. D. O'Hanlon.

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

H. H. West, Esq.

Some years ago, an Old Girl asked that the names of the Governors should be printed in the News Sheet. As I copied out this list just now I wondered whether it was now really necessary. There have been no changes on our Governing Body and our Governors are so regular in their attendance at meetings and at school functions that I feel that there can be few people, nowadays, who have any doubt at all as to who they are. However, we are all very glad of the opportunity the publication of the News Sheet gives us of thanking the Governors for all their kindness, encouragement and backing. We all enjoy Miss Plumer's visits very much: she not only, as you know, takes a deep interest in all the School's activities but also brings us into touch with the world at krge through her journeyings abroad—this year to Russia and Persia. The photograph of one of the Science laboratories in this issue is evidence of the Governors' courage and forethought in a continued policy of making our buildings really first-rate; they have given a great deal of care and interest to the improvement of the school gardens and it will not surprise you, I am sure, to hear that you may shortly expect to hear of further bold building plans for the near future.

We were very pleased to welcome Miss Homer and Miss Harding to teach music this year and should like to thank all the music staff for everything they have done for us, expecially Miss Warner, Mr. Harker and Miss Nesbitt who has arranged so many concerts.

On October nth, Louise Findeisen, Susan Lloyd, Lucy Prideaux and Susan Pearson played two movements from a Schubert quartet in a British and Foreign Bible Society service in which several schools took part, held in the Parish church.

As a contrast, the next concert we had was a highly entertaining lecture piano recital given by Joseph Cooper, followed about three ii

weeks later by the Music Festival. Mr. Harker came to conduct it for the second time. The orchestra played The Secret Marriage overture

by Cimarosa and pieces by Purcell and Vaughan Williams. The Seniors sang some Brahms Liebeslieder and part-songs and the Juniors also sang a selection of part-songs.

The Term finished with the usual carol service which was again held in the hall. Among other items we sang some Old English and Australian carols.

At the beginning of the Spring Term the new Junior Musical Society went on its first expedition to hear Verdi's "La Traviata" at Bristol. It was much enjoyed and later in the term there were two concerts for the school. One was a song recital by Monica Dart, soprano, accompanied by Miss Chard.

At the next concert we were very honoured to have Amaryllis Fleming who played on a beautiful Amati 'cello. Her programme included sonatas by Brahms and Shostokovich, and she was accompanied by Lamar Crowson. The evening was very much appreciated by all.

This year we had a different type of concert with Marlborough owing to the fact that they were going to do an opera later on. The programme consisted of several short works and the items in which we took part were Vaughan William's Te Deum and Parry's Blest Pair of Sirens.

At the end of May the Junior Music Society went to a performance of the Mikado by the Monkton Hill Operatic Society at the Bentley Grammar School.

We were glad to welcome back John Carol Case for another memorable concert and were very interested to hear Schumann's Dichterliebe in Mr. Carol Case's own translation. He finished his programme with some amusing traditional folk-songs, and the school joined in the chorus of "Oh no, John" with great gusto!

The Upper Sixth was very privileged this summer in being able to o to a concert on the second night of the Bath Festival, at which rincess Margaret was present. The rest of the Sixth form and the Upper Fifth went to a concert and "Swan Lake" the next week. The concert was particularly good it was given by the Moscow Chamber Orchestra and was their first performance in England.

f

Rosamund Strode very kindly gave up some of her time for us when she came here on O.G.A. business, she entertained us by singing 12

some unaccompanied folk-songs.

It is very encouraging to see so much talent in the lower part of the school and we like to think that this is a sign that the school is maintaining its high musical reputation!

SUSAN LLOYD and PIPPA HERRING

THE PLAY READING SOCIETY The Play Reading Society now has a total of forty-four members and the enthusiasm shows no signs of abating. During the year the following plays have been read:— The Cocktail Party

T. S. Eliot.

The Playboy of the Western World

J. M. Synge.

The Lady's Not for Burning

Christopher Fry.

Anastasia

Marcelle Maurette.

Hay Fever

Noel Coward.

The River Line

Charles Morgan.

The Society has also listened to a record of "Under Milk Wood"

by Dylan Thomas which was delightful to hear and certainly captured all the charm of this unusual play.

At the end of the Autumn Term the Upper VI members acted "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde, with copies, to the school. Miss Nesbitt very kindly provided some lovely old Edwardian clothes for the ladies, and everyone seemed to enjoy the production very much.

At the last meeting of the term a recitation competition was held, and the prize was won by Susan Pearson, who gave a very moving interpretation of the abdication speech of Richard II. The VI Forms were very lucky to be able to see the Bentley Grammar School's production of "The Playboy of the Western World", just after the society had read the play! The performance was very lively, the actors' Irish brogue was quite admirable and everyone enjoyed it all the more for having read it first. We are very grateful to Miss Gibbins and the staff who made this outing possible.

The lectures we have had this year have been varied and of exceptional interest to everyone, the topics ranging from Gannets to the B.B.C. We have been very fortunate in having had several opportunities of learning more about Africa, especially as it has been so much in the headlines this last year. Sir Peter Stallard and Mr. Cooper enlightened us considerably about the country itself, even touching on native rituals, while Mr. Babonau, by means of a talk and two short films, gave a vivid and realistic picture of the devoted way in which the Royal Commonwealth Society for the Blind deals with the eye afflictions of Africans.

There have been two lectures in connection with the World Council of Churches this year. Dr. Bliss visited us soon after her return from the Conference at New Delhi, and gave us most interesting first-hand information. Mr. Frost, in his lecture, drew our attention to the World Hunger Campaign.

Mr. Barlee fascinated us with his illustrated talk on the lifehistory and antics of the gannet, and equally entertaining was Mr. Kenneth Hudson's lecture on the B.B.C. Miss Plumer most kindly spared time to talk to us about her recent visit to Russia, and we greatly enjoyed her lively and entertaining account.

"Le Malade Imaginaire"—Moliere, performed by the Stirling Players.

"The Playboy of the Western World"—Synge, performed at the Bentley Grammar School.

"The Importance of Being Earnest"—Wilde, read by the Play Reading Society.

"Electra"—Girandoux—performed at Bristol Unisity.

"The Clouds"—Aristophanes—performed at Bristol University.

Company Plays: Grosstete and Noberly—"The Rose and the Ring"—Thackeray.

Osmund and Edmund Rich—"The Farmer's Wife"—Eden Philpotts.

Poore—"Enid and the Detectives"—Kastner.

Founder's Day: "The Rivals"—Sheridan.

The standard of diction in Form Shakespeare this year was higher than it has been for some time; the producers showed originality in grouping and lighting, but it is a pity that some of them scorned the more obvious and well-known scenes in their quest for originality. The winning scenes from Richard III reached an outstandingly high level, with impressive scenery and lighting—the ghosts were most effective and the parts acted with talent and imagination. Unfortunately the other forms did not attain a high enough standard for the second cup to be awarded, though the scenes from Much Ado and the Two Gentlemen of Verona were well spoken and their costumes were ingeniously made from school uniform.

Company plays were all very different from each other, making comparison extremely difficult!

Grosstete and Moberly's production of "The Rose and the Ring" was acted very well, with good characterization and some amusing solos. The excellent staging and scenery had been carefully planned.

Osmund and Edmund Rich performed "The Farmer's Wife" with great energy, parts were well known and the play was a sharp contrast to the Fairy-tale Rose and the Ring.

Poore managed to include their whole company in "Emil and the Detectives", it was acted very naturally, and everybody enjoyed it.

"The Rivals", surely a great favourite of most parents, was produced for Founders Day by Miss Nesbitt, everyone enjoyed the performance, nor did many Malapropisms escape the audience! The 15

characters were most realistically interpreted, and judging from the applause at the end it was a great success.

Throughout the year the Vlth Forms have been fortunate to attend a number of plays, English, French and Greek, and we would all like to thank the staff who arranged these expeditions for giving us so much pleasure.

P. FORDE THE CLASSICAL SOCIETY The Classical Society is now, at the end of its second year of existence, a firmly established and flourishing part of school life. Miss Wood and Miss Clark have been extremely energetic in helping it to progress so actively, and meetings have increased to the number of one almost every week.

There has been greater emphasis this year on dramatic activities, which has proved very successful. We have acted scenes from Plautus and Theocritus in translation, Houseman's Skit on a Greek Tragedy, and Sheriff's play, "The Long Sunset". A highlight of the year was Miss Wood's very witty and amusing Roman version of "What's My Line?" written in simple Latin, and with famous Roman figures as the panel and the guest star!

The advent of the film projector has been greatly appreciated in this field, too; we have seen several films on classical subjects.

We have had a large number of lectures, which have covered a wide range of interesting and often little known subjects. Mrs. Warden very kindly came over from Marlborough to talk to us about Roman Cookery, laden with delicious samples! Miss Stallard showed us some lovely colour slides she took while she was in Rome, and Miss Clark has talked on Roman London and women in Greece. Several members of the society have read papers on various subjects. In the Autumn term there were competitions in Poetry translation and Doll-dressing "a la mode classique", and in the summer an Art Competition, to provide scope for the varying talents of the members!

Three times this year the whole society flocked out on expeditions very kindly arranged by Miss Wood, which were great fun and at the same time most instructive. We visited the Ashmolean Museum in the Autumn, Bath in the Spring, and in the Summer made a long expedition to Dorchester, where we looked at the museum and the Roman house, and climbed up the Maiden Castle mound. After 'A' level, the Upper Sixth and two of the Sixth form spent a day digging at Cirencester, one party at the amphitheatre and the other at a Roman house; 16

we found quite a few bronze pins and some bones. We suffered from acute back-ache the next day, but it was very well worth it!

Now that the society is safely past its infancy, let us hope it will have a long and successful life.

SUSAN WOODWARD

THE NEW SCIENCE BLOCK On returning to school at the beginning of the Autumn Term, we saw that the daring decision of the Governors to start building a new science block when not much more than half the total sum of money required to pay for the building had been collected, had been fully justified. The T-shaped building, which had been designed by Mr. Green, the architect, was nearly completed, due in great part, to the unceasing labours of the foreman, Mr. Garner.

The Biology laboratory was finished first, and lessons were started in it soon after the beginning of term. Round the edge of the room runs a bench on which it is pleasant to work in the evenings, or while others are having a lesson at the light, moveable tables which face the large, many-panelled black-board. In the laboratory there is a small greenhouse which is used for botanical experiments, and there are many cupboards and drawers in which much of the new and old apparatus is housed.

Between the Biology and Chemical laboratories there is a small room containing nothing but balances on benches, underneath which are kept a few stools. This room was designed by Miss Aubrey to keep the delicate balances out of the Chemistry and Physics laboratories where they are susceptible to the action of corrosive chemicals and magnetic materials. In the Chemistry laboratory itself there are many fittings which were also designed by Miss Aubrey; among these is the double fume-cupboard in which an experiment is not disrupted if something starts to fume unpleasantly because it can be transferred to the second half of the cupboard and left to fume undisturbed! The cupboard is accessible from opposite sides which enables up to eight or ten people to watch an experiment in the cupboard without crowding round the demonstrator. All the cupboards in the room are spacious, and they are low enough for even the top shelf to be reached without having to climb on a stool!

Mr. Leacy, of the Bentley Grammar School, who most nobly contrives to teach us the elements of Physics, designed most of the fittings in the light and airy Physics laboratory. In contrast to the other rooms which are painted blue, the Physics laboratory is painted a delightful shade of green. It is a most stimulating room to work in.

17

A dark room has also been incorporated in the building, and with the aid of a legacy to the school, it has been most magnificently equipped. It is now used regularly by members of a recently-formed photographic society.

On October zist., 1961, the Bishop of Sherborne dedicated the new block in a very impressive service which took place partly in the Hall and partly in the garden. Many Old Girls and visitors attended the service, and during the year, many more have seen and admired the building, which we have greatly enjoyed using.

It is hoped that a weather-vane, promised to be in the form of a bird, will soon be erected.

SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY Transistors! Who would have thought that twelve "mere girls" could all make their own transistors, but this did in fact happen under the expert tuition of Mr. Jan. During the Winter and Spring terms this was the highlight of the Society's activities, and we were very pleased that despite all our doubts the transistors worked perfectly when finished.

The Spring Term was full of interesting lectures given by members of the society on such varied subjects as "Bones and Skeletons", "Evolution" and "Rockets". A lecture on "How to Press Wild Flowers" inspired people in the summer to enter for a pressed-flower competition, the standard of which was an improvement on that of last year.

Enthusiasts have been chasing butterflies and moths throughout the summer to give to Lucy Gardner, who has shown many keen people how to set them, and has started a collection for the Society.

Neither were ornithologists forgotten, as we had a very interesting film on Reed Warblers.

The new laboratories have been a great asset, for as well as providing an excellent meeting place, they also accommodate the society's belongings.

In conclusion, we should very much like to thank Miss Aubrey and Mrs. Brecknell for their help and encouragement during the year.

THE OLD GIRL'S REUNION 1962 The Old Girls' renunion is like a big houseparty which is bound to succeed because everyone has a common interest or feeling of possession in the school from Friday evening when the old girls began to arrive, until Monday morning, when the last of them left, the weekend was one long chatter with people exchanging news and reminiscences.

Very many old girls arrived and went on arriving throughout the weekend. While the school spent Saturday morning working, the Old Girls held their customary meetings. Miss Henderson had very kindly organised a tennis tournament for us all in the afternoon, for which we were fortunate in having good weather, which continued throughout the weekend. After an exhausting tournament won by Jane Compton and Pippa Herring, we were very much looking forward to tea, provided by Miss Jackson and the kitchen staff. This was delicious, as was all the food that weekend.

The concert that evening, which had a very mixed programme, was enjoyed by everyone. Many enterprising volunteers played and sang for us. The concert ended in a riotous performance of the Toy Symphony.

After church on Sunday everyone amused themselves by swimming, playing croquet with the beautiful new set given to the school by some Old Girls, or simply by wandering around admiring the gardens and the new laboratories.

Sunday chapel was held at half past three in the afternoon so that those old girls who had to leave early could attend. It was this more than anything else that made us see how much the school belongs to members of all the previous generations who helped to make the school what it is now.

When everyone had gone the school seemed very empty and quiet and we reluctantly returned to work on Monday morning.

THE JUNIOR ART CLUB It was decided last Autumn to start an art club. With the aid of Miss Stannard, who has given many extremely interesting talks on Botticelli, Rembrandt, Cezanne, and Picasso, the club has flourished.

In the Summer Term we had a competition in which the contestants had to draw a landscape, a tree, and a sketch. Charmian Rylands

won first prize, and Margaret Peddle won the second prize. Miss Gibbins kindly gave two reproductions of pictures by Utrillo.

We have all enjoyed the many things we have done in the little time we have had to do them, and we have also learned many facts from Miss Stannard.

THE LIBRARY This year, the Bodington and Coulter Libraries have been increased by 177 books, a somewhat smaller addition than was made last year, but many of the new books were expensive and the number purchased had, perforce, to be limited. We have, however, received books and book-tokens from Old Girls, parents and friends, all of whom we thank very much indeed for their kind gifts.

During the winter months, members of the Sixth spent a good deal of time in making a new cataloque for the Bodington Library and in mending some damaged volumes. We hope to do more of this most useful work next term. In the meantime, we thank everyone who has taken part in the various ways of helping to keep the Library in good order throught the year.

S.B.

GAMES The lacrosse teams this year have suffered from many unavoidable changes, but enjoyed several exciting matches. We were very sorry to have to say good-bye to Miss Torrance at the end of the Autumn.

We were, however, once again most grateful to Mrs. Thompson for all her kind help on the pitch.

Owing to the warm blood of St. Mary's in contrast to the temperature of the swimming pool, swimming has been restricted this summer. The teams however, put up a valiant fight in their three matches.

We were most fortunate in having Mr. Maunder to coach the teams and those preparing to take Life-Saving and Proficiency tests. We would also like to thank Miss Truscott who helped Miss Henderson in the organisation of the swimming when not academically engaged.

The Under 15 tennis team are to be congratulated on their victories throughout the season. We were delighted to have Mr. Price's professional aid on the court.

As Miss Gray who has been appointed Senior Games Mistress is not able to come till September, Miss Henderson has been our "saving 20

hand" since January as the only resident games staff. We cannot thank her enough, and were very pleased to hear of her engagement.

LETTER FROM MISS GIBBINS St. Mary's School, Calne, Wilts., August 3rd, 1962.

My dear Old Girls, I should like to start this letter by saying how very sorry we are that Rosamund Strode feels she must give up the Secretaryship of the O.G.A. owing to pressure of work. We cannot be grateful enough for all Rosamund has done as Secretary; she has been unfailingly cheerful and patient with us all and I know that in all she has done she has had the well-being of the School and of the O.G.A. very much at heart.

We are so glad that Winsome Willcox (Dallas Ross) has most kindly agreed to take on this office. I am sure that the Secretaryship is again in excellent hands and that we are most fortunate.

It was a very great pleasure to have so many of you here for the Reunion, and to have so many generations represented. Someone said just before this year's reunion took place, "the school is always better, somehow, in the year when the Old Girls are here" and I am sure that this is true. We have also much enjoyed many other visits from former members of staff and old girls and I hope you will always realize how very welcome you are. We are very pleased and proud that we shall have the School's first grandchild to be educated at St. Mary's— 24

Susanna Wake-Walker—daughter of lona Wake-Walker and granddaughter of Margaret Maclean (Randolph)!

This has again been a full year—as it ought to be—and we look back on it with much thankfulness. As many of you will know, two most valued people of the staff have been away to have major operations, Mrs. Hart and Miss Jackson, and it is a great joy to have them both back at work and looking really well again.

The new science laboratories are a tremendous success. Not only are Science classes now held in really inspiring surroundings but the science specialists are able to do their private work in the laboratories in the evenings and the dark room has been much in use by the photographic society.

Some people may, in theory, regret the loss of Quarry Ponds, but we think when you visit us you will agree that the whole area is on the way to looking far more attractive. The ponds have been filled up, the area sown with grass, six noble trees will provide shade and interest and the banks are to be planted this autumn with a variety of quickgrowing plants which will keep the weeds back and look beautiful as well.

Finally, as ever, our love and good wishes to you all. I have been so glad to hear from so many of you this year and you are much in our thoughts.

Yours ever, ELIZABETH M. GIBBINS

LETTER FROM O.G.A. CHAIRMAN H.Q. Eastern Command, Hounslow, Middlesex, 18 September, 1962.

My dear Old Girls, We had our bi-annual Reunion at St. Gibbin's very kind invitation, and enjoyed lucky in having a beautiful weekend, and the untiring hospitality of our hostesses and the most happy weekend.

Mary's in June, at Miss it enormously. We were sunshine, the flowers, the delicious meals made it a

You will be glad to know that we have two new Vice-Presidents, 25

Miss Windsor-Aubrey and Ruth Baker, both of whom we are delighted to welcome.

Rosamund Strode has been forced by pressure of work to resign as our Honorary Secretary. We shall miss her very much. She has put in an enormous amount of work for the Association and has been a most business-like Secretary. I am more grateful than I can say for the immense amount of trouble she has taken and for the help she has given me as your Chairman. I am sure you would wish Rosamund to know how much we have valued her work for the Association.

Winsome Willcox has most kindly agreed to take over from Rosamund and we are very grateful to her for agreeing to become our Hon. Secretary.

I hope many of you will be at the London Reunion in January.

There is a preliminary notice of it in this magazine.

With best wishes to you all, Yours very sincerely, Gwyneth Fleetwood-Jones DOROTHY MORRISON—AN APPRECIATION Dorothy Morrison died on July zoth, 1962 after a short illness.

She and I came to St. Mary's on the same day, and remained friends for over forty years. Dorothy was clever and interesting and soon made her mark in the school—I well remember her outstanding performance as Malvolio. Susan Randolph, Mary Gould, Janet and Norah Hollies, Olive Kendall, Vera Bailey and others were our contemporaries and great fun we had in the VI form of those days. Dorothy was related in some way to Archdeacon Bodington, then Vicar of Calne; he was a good subject for mimicry in which we used to indulge a good deal, to our own inordinate amusement. We were very fond of him, though, and he taught us a lot. But of course Marcia Matthews was the great feature of our lives and she had a tremendous influence on us. She taught us Divinity and History and her lessons were extraordinarily interesting and stimulating. So were her addresses in Chapel, and the pecularly impressive way she read prayers. I think she laid the foundations of Dorothy's intensely religious outlook which was her outstanding characteristic all her life.

The school was of course much smaller then—the Hut was built in our time—and it must have been a great event when Dorothy •went up to Lady Margaret Hall to read history. I don't think she stayed up long enough, however, to take a degree, and the next few years were 26

spent in caring for her parents until they died. We always kept in touch, and Dorothy was a most kind and sedulous godmother to our second child, Alison.

Her father's death left Dorothy free to take up work for the Church, which she had always wanted to do. She became Area Secretary for S.P.G. in Liverpool and later during the war was a Chaplain's Assistant; she was wonderful in this work, and many people owe their faith in God to her influence and teaching.

After the war Dorothy travelled abroad a great deal and it was not until 1948 that she took up what was really the great work of her life, when she became secretary to the Korean Mission. Korea was unknown to many people at that time but when the Communist war broke out, leading to terrible sufferings among its people, Korea was "put on the map" and the Mission flourished. Dorothy did wonderful and very hard work in collecting for refugees, packing up and sending off hundreds of parcels of clothes, food, etc. She was often at work until the early hours of the morning. Dorothy paid two visits to Korea and the first time left only three weeks before the Communists walked in, and the Church there went through anxious days with their Bishop in the hands of the Reds.

Under Dorothy's dynamic leadership the Mission has gone ahead tremendously and the Korean Christians are among the keenest in the Anglican Communions. She was a stimulating speaker and went all over England addressing audiences of every kind, including St. Mary's and leaving a vivid impression of Korea as a country, and a conviction that one ought to support the Church there.

Dorothy was a person of very strong character and definite personality, and this made her not always very easy to work with. But she was a most loyal and faithful person and had many devoted friends. For my part I feel very thankful for our long friendship, her deep, unwavering and shining faith inevitably made a deep impression and one can never say how much one owes to her help and guidance and real knowledge of theology, and of what it means to be a really committed member of the Church.

St. Mary's may well be proud of Dorothy Morrison as an old girl; anyone who reads this and who remembers her with love and gratitude as I do, may like to send a donation to the cause which was so dear to her. The Rev. Thomas Elsam, Korean Mission, Bedford Gardens, W.8. would be glad to receive it.

Dorothy was a person whom it seems could ill be spared, but we think of her as being in the nearer Presence of the Lord to whom her life was devoted. May she rest in peace.

Margaret Maclean July 3ist, 1962.
