OCTOBER 1965

EDITORIAL

The end of this school year has been marked by the retirement of Miss Windsor-Aubrey. She has taught biology, botany and chemistry here since 1938 and has been tremendously helpful to us all, especially to those who have taken science. It is very sad, too, that Miss Stallard had to retire this year on account of illness. We shall miss them both very much but hope that they will come to visit us often.

Amid great celebrations on the part of the Upper Sixth, the Mews came into use at the beginning of the spring term! Eight prefects sleep there in two very comfortable and attractively decorated rooms. The new building also provides a house for a married member of staff and a very pleasant staff bed-sitting-room.

It was decided at a chapel committee in the spring that senior chapel in the evenings should be voluntary on four days of the week. This is still at the experimental stage and we are not sure yet whether we like the arrangement or not.

FOUNDERS' DAY Although the preceding week had been wet and dreary, we awoke to a bright and sunny Founders' Day, which proved to be an even happier and more enjoyable day than ever. The school was looking very tidy and everywhere had been beautifully decorated with flowers by Mrs. Sykes and Miss Gibbs.

In the morning a large number of friends and relations came to the Commemoration Service, which was taken by the Vicar. The special preacher was Canon Michael Stancliffe, Chaplain to the House of Commons, and his sermon was most interesting and memorable.

After the service, everyone dispersed for lunch. Time was short, however, and Pitch I proved a most popular picnic ground!

At three o'clock the curtain rose on Act I of Tobias and the Angel

by James Bridie, most ably produced by Miss Nesbitt. The play was much enjoyed by the audience and the cast, arid everyone was especially impressed by the performance of a new young actress, Pippa, the boxer—who played the part of the dog, Toby.

With the help of Miss Stannard and Mr. Bieneman, the scenery, effects and props—notably the large, fearsome fish, were very realistic, and the clothes, supervised by Miss Gibbs, were attractive and colourful, especially the costumes of the dancing girls who had spent many hours sticking sequins on their chiffon trousers. The problem of finding wings for the Archangel was solved by the Vicar who very kindly lent us his !

After the play, the visitors had a delicious tea, prepared by Miss Jackson and her staff, in the dining room. To end the day, many parents came to evening chapel.

In spite of public examinations, music has not been neglected this year, and frequent concerts and recitals have been arranged for us.

A performance that gave us great pleasure was that of the Intimate Opera Company, who included in their programme Menotti's deservedly popular The Telephone.

Early in the spring term we heard the New Essex Wind Quintet, led by Clarissa Melville, and a few weeks later a brilliant piano and violin recital by Tessa Robbins and Robin Wood; while in the summer term we enjoyed a song recital by Maureen Lehane.

The school itself performed at the Music Festival, the junior songs being particularly good and the orchestra's playing of The Thieving Magpie and the first movement of Haydn's Military Symphony most spirited. Then came the Carol Service at the end of the autumn term, while the spring term saw great preparations both for the concert with Marlborough and for the Chamber Music Competition.

Marlborough was very adventurous, and the Sixth forms found themselves confronted with Purcell's Masque from Diocletian, Jean Berger's Brazilian Psalm, and Constant Lambert's Rio Grande.

This was a challenge to be met, and while the altos downstairs were practising their difficult intervals and weeding out " growlers," the sopranos upstairs were contending with arpeggios. We were greatly helped by Mr. Harker, who having, at one time, studied under Constant Lambert, was particularly able to interpret his work.

Thus, although at the concert itself our ranks were somewhat thinned by quarantine regulations, the performance was carried out with no noticeable hitches and great verve. The choir particularly enjoyed some of the solos in Diocletian.

The Chamber Music Competition, which spurred many instrumentalists to great efforts, was again judged by Dr. Still who was kind enough to come for this, the third of these competitions which he originally suggested. A high standard was reached, particularly

by Clare Fewtrell, Emma Ferrand and Lorna Williams in the seniors, and by the Morton trio in the juniors.

Finally Miss Nesbitt was kind enough to organise an expedition for the Junior Musical Society to see The Pirates of Penzance at 13

the Bentley Grammar School, while members of the Sixth form were able to go to one of the Bath Festival concerts.

The year has been a full one, which we have much enjoyed, and we thank Miss Nesbitt and all the music staff for their help and encouragement which has so stimulated our enjoyment and appreciation of music.

The plays this year in Form Shakespeare were of a much higher standard than usual. There was great originality in clothes, but it was decided that gentlemen's hose should not be represented by legs in jersey sleeves! The programmes were artistic, and it was evident that great trouble had been taken over designing them.

The winning scenes from Henry V, a production by the Sixth

14

form, were very well staged. The curtain did not fall throughout the performance, but the change in scenes was effected by intelligent lighting and varied acting. As runners-up, Lower Fifth East gave a vigorous and amusing presentation of Henry IV, part I. The company plays this year included a comedy, a comedy thriller and a period play, and were all much enjoyed. Edmund Rich and Poore's production of Arnold Ridley's The Ghost Train was exciting and the suspense was maintained until the end. The sound and lights of the passing train were very realistic, and added to the suspense. The period dress, and general atmosphere in Grosstete's production of The Immortal Lady were very good and effective. Many of the parts, especially those of the principal women, were acted thoughtfully. Dear Octopus, done by Osmund and Moberly was a pleasant and successful production; all the members of the family from eight to eighty were well-balanced, and made a convincing scene.

There were various expeditions during the year. In October, the Sixths went to a performance of Le Medecin Malgre Lui and L'Anglais tel qu'on le Parle, as performed by La Troupe Franchise at Swindon, which were both most entertaining and amusing. In May, the Sixth English A Level class saw Young Cassidy in Chippenham, a film about the life of Sean O'Casey and his connections with the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. This was much enjoyed and appreciated. And in June, Miss Nesbitt took a group of Upper Sixth to She Stoops to Conquer at Bath, which was very well done and enjoyed immensely by all.

LECTURES

1964 Sept. 23rd Oct. 1st Oct. 15th 1965 Jan. 20th Jan. 22nd Mar. 14th July llth

Mr. Crook on " Civis Romanus Sum." The Bishop of Hong Kong on " The position of Hong Kong today."

Commonwealth Institute : Sixth Form Conference.

Mr. John Hills on " The Times."

Miss Granger on U.G.S. Rosalind Whinney on V.S.O. in India.

Ruth Lloyd on the Ewart School, Madras.

There may appear to have been fewer lectures this year than usual, but this has not really been so, since various societies have invited speakers to address their members on topics of particular interest to them, at the same time inviting any non-members in the school who were interested in the subjects.

15

" Civis Romanus Sum " was the classical theme of the lecture given by Mr. Crook of St. John's College, Cambridge. It was most amusing and informative and of great interest to classicists and nonclassicists alike, giving a vivid picture of the advantages, the qualifications and the nature of Roman citizenship.

Miss Granger came to talk on the U.G.S. She gave us a clear idea of the work of the mission in Peckham and stressed the need for our continued support.

The substance and administration of that worthy British institution, The Times, was explained and illumined by Mr. John Hills in his lecture to the Sixth forms. Every item in the newspaper from the crest on the front page to the photograph and property advertisements on the back page, was examined, and the difference between the various types of correspondent drawn—all of which now makes reading The Times of greater interest.

Two old girls, Rosalind Whinney and Ruth Lloyd, have returned from India where they have been teaching. They have both come down and told us something of the life they have led and the work they have done. Ros was doing V.S.O. in Calcutta and Nepal, and Ruth was in Madras. We are most grateful to them for sparing the time to give us talks making alive the difficulties of their workdifficulties of which we hitherto had such a scanty knowledge.

During the autumn term some of the Upper Sixth attended a Commonwealth Conference at the Beritley Grammar School. The subject under discussion was the place of the Commonwealth in Africa today. It was very interesting to hear the problems and views of two authorities on the subject with first-hand experience, and to be able to discuss what we heard with members of other Wiltshire schools.

The Sixth forms were fortunate enough to be allowed to attend political meetings in Calne before the General Election. This was extremely interesting and led to a certain amount of speculation as to which of the three candidates would be returned. Mr. Daniel Awdry, Conservative, won the seat over Mr. Christopher Layton, Liberal, and Mr. Giles Radice, Labour.

JUDITH HODGSON. ENTERTAINMENTS The school has been very lucky in having had so many entertainments during the past year. During the autumn term, we were shown a film of excerpts from famous works danced by the Royal Ballet Company. This was much enjoyed. Towards the end of term, several seniors were able to go to the Littlefield House Dance

16

at Maryborough College and were given a very pleasant evening.

The staff and Upper Sixth entertained us very well on the last night of term. The stage curtains refused to give their services but this minor hitch was remedied by bedspreads, which were gallantly held up by members of the Upper Sixth.

At the spring half-term, those who were not out with friends or parents much enjoyed the film of The Littlest Outlaw. Some members of the Sixth form were taken to see the film Young Cassidy in Chippenham.

In the summer term a good many seniors were able to see the Royal Ballet Demonstration Group in Bath. The making and life of ballet dancers and choreographers were outlined in a most interesting way. There was also a very amusing performance of Edith Sitwell's Foxtrot. On Ascension Day, we had a very enjoyable walk on the Downs near Alton Barnes, followed by an excellent picnic tea and, when we came back to school, the film of Paul Gallico's " small miracle" called Don't Take No For An Answer made a very pleasant ending to a lovely day. We also enjoyed, this term, a particularly good film called the Story of Gilbert and Sullivan, containing extracts from several operas. The Royal School at Bath, which is celebrating its centenary this year, very kindly invited a party to the performance of a Pageant. This was held indoors because of rain but was very well produced and acted, and showed an attractive selection of colourful costumes. The amusing and moving were combined very skilfully in the performance and provided a memorable evening.

The Lower Fifths, Upper Fourths and Lower Fourths were allowed to go to St. Margaret's entertainment which included plays and group recitations and enjoyed it very much.

In fact, we have been very well entertained during the year and are grateful to all those who have given up their time for us.

MARION SALMON and CATHERINE THUILLIER.

THE CLASSICAL SOCIETY The Classical Society saw the White Horse of Uffmgton at slightly closer quarters recently. It was part of an expedition organised by Miss Wood, originally to go and see Maiden Castle near Dorchester, but since the weather was overcast she bravely decided to take the whole society to see the Ashmolean, Oxford. We also went round some of the colleges, and visited the famous blowing stone and white horse of Uffington on the return journey.

It was one of the three expeditions, on which the society has been this year. Another was to a performance of the Oresteian Trilogy in Bristol and a third to West House Villa, Rockbourne, where excavations were still in progress.

17

However the society does not exist purely for expeditions. We have had several very interesting lectures on subjects as varied as " The vagaries of copyists " and " Greek and Roman Dress." Three outside lecturers have come, Professor Maguinness, who is head of the Classics department, King's College, London, Mr. Crook from Jesus College, Cambridge, and Mrs. Beare from Bristol. We have also had several talks by members of the society and one from Miss Maguinness, who read a very interesting paper, illustrated by a film strip, on Greek sculpture.

We are very sorry to hear that Miss Maguinness is leaving us this term. We thank both Miss Wood and Miss Maguinness for all the advice and help they have given to the society this year.

PHOEBE PELLEW.

SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY Our efforts to be original seemed to have been doomed to failure.

We ordered some mice in order to study their heredity and Miss Reeve gave us an illustrated lecture on heredity but unfortunately the mice never arrived !

However in spite of this we have been quite active. In the autumn members from the Upper and Lower Sixth visited the Richardsons' tannery. In the summer a party went round Bath gasworks which was of particular interest to those doing chemistry. We also visited Rawlings and Phillips' mill and spent a pleasant evening in the Westwoods. In the autumn Miss Reeve took a small party fungi hunting and Rosemary McCreery gave a lecture on East African wild life, illustrated by slides she had taken. In the spring Mr. Leacy gave us another of his interesting lectures on different aspects of physics. This one was entitled " Physics in the kitchen." We were amused to hear about the different tricks played on unsuspecting housewives by manufacturers.

We were very pleased to welcome Mr. Davis and Mr. Crawford this year as vice-presidents of the society, and would like to thank Miss Reeve very sincerely for all her help.

We are also truly sorry to lose Miss Aubrey who has been the society's staunch support for so many years.

EMMA FERRAND and CLARE FEWTRELL. 18

A Tribute to Miss Aubrey from the Scientific Society The Scientific Society rolls smoothly along With films, expeditions and lectures, The bills are all paid and nothing goes wrong With Miss Aubrey's splendid conjectures.

She takes us to woods, and to gas-works, and mills, To tanneries, work-shops and zoos, Down by canals, and up on the hills, Or anywhere else that we choose.

Oh, what shall we do when Miss Aubrey is gone ? —The club will no longer be easy to run, But we wish her good luck and good health from now on And heartily thank her for all she has done.

EMMA FERRAND and MARION SALMON.

THE PLAY READING SOCIETY The society has read the following plays during the year : Autumn Term, 1964 A Doll's House by H. Ibsen.

The Vortex by N. Coward.

Tobias and the Angel by J. Bridie.

A Month in the Country by I. Turgenev.

Spring Term, 1965 The Family Reunion by T. S. Eliot.

The Matchmaker by T. Wilder.

The Doctor's Dilemma by G. B. Shaw.

Summer Term, 1965 The Lark by J. Anouilh.

Hobson's Choice by H. Brighouse.

The Lovebirds by B. Thomas.

19

Of these, those by foreign playwrights notably Ibsen, Turgenev and Anouilh seem to have been most popular, along with Eliot's The Family Reunion which we read in view of his recent death.

Next year we hope to read more American plays and to continue with those by Continental and Russian writers as well as obtaining the more modern English plays, which members of the society might not otherwise read.

At the end of the autumn term some of the Upper Sixth members performed Noel Coward's Hay Fever to the rest of the school. We can only hope they enjoyed it as much as we did !

Perhaps the main highlight of the year was the expedition to Bristol to see the Bristol Old Vic's production of Hamlet, with Richard Pasco in the title role. Barbara Leigh-Hunt's interpretation of Ophelia was very moving and the staging magnificent. " Nosebags " in the coach formed the end of the first outing the society has had for some time. We are very indebted to Miss Nesbitt for arranging such an enjoyable evening.

TOMBS AND TABLE-TOPS Table-tops do not make the most comfortable beds ! We suffered this discomfort for three nights in Upper Egypt when the robbersheikh with whom we had arranged to stay refused us beds.

So Cook's restaurant became our home and each morning we cleared away our bedding so that the American tourists were able to invade with their packed lunches supplied by the Winter Palace Hotel.

We spent the first day sight-seeing on donkey back in the desolate valley of the Kings. After seeing the more ornate tombs of the Kings we rode up a precipitous path towards the tombs of the noblemen, which we found charming in their simple representation of everyday life. One tomb had a roughly-hewn roof painted to create the impression of a vineyard, while a scene painted on one of its walls depicted a daughter clinging to her father's leg while he fished from a boat among the lotus flowers and papyrus.

The next day on visiting one of the temples we met a fascinating old English lady living in the temple itself with her cat. Arainoe Ptolemy, firm in the belief that she was the reincarnation of a priestess of Sety I. She had held this belief from the age of seven and had come out to Egypt at the first possible opportunity, for she explained that she had been in love with Sety all her life. Her marriage to an Egyptian proved unsuccessful for, as she herself said, how could a man live with a wife whose head was up a pyramid and whose heart was with Sety in his tomb! We invited her 20

together with her donkey, Suma, to share our picnic lunch only to find that she could not eat pork, except by the custom of the ancient Egyptians at the yearly festival of Osiris, and if she ate fish she was not allowed to enter the temple.

We paid one visit to the magnificent and overwhelming temples of Luxor and Karnak crossing the Nile on the public ferry surrounded by veiled women and black, bearded men, sheep, goats and fleas.

Each night we unrolled our bedding on the table-tops after a meal of Arab bread, goats' cheese and mango chutney and soon fell asleep among the hatstands while our two guards padded round outside as the wolves howled in the hills. . . .

AFRICA TODAY As sole representatives of the " British public school " we attended a conference entitled " Africa Today " organised by the U.S.P.G. We found that the three days spent at Elfensward, Haywards Heath, where the conference was held, were both enlightening and enjoyable.

It was a great advantage having three African lecturers, each from a different country, who gave us an entirely new slant on many African problems. We were all amused to find that more differences of opinion arose between the Africans themselves, than between them and the white people at the conference! The topics we were lectured on, and afterwards discussed in groups, included the oneparty system, unilateral aid and, of course, apartheid. Although none of us knew enough to qualify our sweeping statements, we learnt a great deal and have now, we hope, a more balanced, though still incomplete, opinion of African problems.

BONN It was with some apprehension that I left England to spend three weeks in Bonn during the Easter holidays. The university there offers a course for foreigners in German language and literature, and it was in this way that I hoped to improve my German before the forthcoming examinations.

Of the forty people on the course about twenty were English, mostly university undergraduates or A level candidates like myself.

21

There were also Italians, French, Swiss, a Norwegian, a Finn and a Hungarian so that we had to speak German, which was the one language we had in common. One of the most interesting experiences was meeting people from other parts of the world with entirely different ideas and ways of living from oneself.

The course was highly organised, yet we could be free to a very large extent. The mornings were devoted to classwork; grammar, literature and discussion; in the afternoons there might be lectures on the German situation and twentieth century German literature, or excursions. Unfortunately, bad weather marred these in the last two weeks, but it was on a blazing hot day that we visited Cologne cathedral and went to the theatre there.

As foreigners, we naturally wanted to meet the German students most of whom, although it was their vacation, were still there working right up till Easter. We met them in the " hensa," the student dining hall where for one mark (about Is. 8d.) we could get an almost wholly inedible meal! In the hostel where I lived, which was seven storeys high and equipped with everything from refrigerators in the kitchens to a washing machine in the basement,, we found the German girls extremely friendly and very patient with the foreign invaders who, at first, were clueless as to how anything worked!

These were a very interesting and enjoyable three weeks that I shall never forget and in which I learned a tremendous amount.

JUDITH HODGSON. SLAPTON In the spring holidays I went to a British Field Studies Council Centre at Slapton in Devon on a week's bird-watching course.

Having arrived two hours late, I discovered to my horror that everyone on the course was much older than I was, but everyone was very kind, and I enjoyed myself immensely.

I was hauled unceremoniously from my bunk at 5 a.m. on three out of six mornings, fed with tea and biscuits, and then the seven of us, one of whom was the instructor, waded through the long, wet grass to listen to the dawn chorus in the surrounding woods.

It was bitterly cold, and we each wore at least four jerseys, but it was well worth while, and I learned a great deal.

During the week, we saw and heard most of the common spring birds which one can find in South Devon, including a hoopae and pair of lesser spotted woodpeckers! We visited estuaries, streams, the ley, moorland, gardens and forestry reserves, and each place provided a different set of birds for us to see and hear.

THE STAMP CLUB A keen interest in philately has been taken this year, and on the whole the meetings have been well attended. Despite the delay in its arrival, the film-strip Bible Story on Stamps, to which Sarah Clarke read the notes, proved to be interesting. We managed to get first day issues of the Winston Churchill stamps, but were envious of Susan Bartholomew, who received a letter bearing a stamp which had been issued a day too soon! Unfortunately, however, the mistake was noticed and she was compelled to return the envelope to a Post Office official.

As always, we are very grateful indeed to Miss Gibbins for all the stamps which she has so kindly given to the members.

MARION SALMON. THE PHOTOGRAPHIC

SOCIETY

This year, although the society has continued to have a large membership, the number of people doing practical work has been small. One member, perhaps, made up for this, at the end of the autumn term, by mounting a hundred photographs for Christmas cards.

Next year will open with a competition, so we hope that more people will use the dark room which has had several useful additions made to it.

N. KESSLER. THE LIBRARY Since last summer, the Library has been increased by 190 books.

Most of these have been bought from the Library Fund and from school subscriptions, two particularly interesting books being microfilm copies of Hamlet and Richard II from originals in Trinity College, Cambridge.

Books and book-tokens have also been given us by friends to whom we are most grateful for their kind thought and generosity.

As always, many of the seniors have given a good deal of time to helping in the Bodington, Coulter and Fiction libraries, and we thank them for the useful and responsible work they have done.

S.B. 23

VERSE Drifting soullessly past the window Like God-forsaken autumn leaves, Down the grey street, here they come now, Walking like rootless, wind-battered trees : Thin, long-haired, grey-faced in the rain They walk and walk searching life, in vain.

SALLY DALGLISH.

LE JONCHAIE, LE CHAPEAU ET L'HOMME Un homme qui portait un chapeau a larges bords, Voyageait a pied vers les paturages, Ou, aupres de la riviere, on trouve Les vaches qui regardent les poules d'eau qui nagent Parmi la jonchaie.

Get homme qui portait le chapeau a larges bords S'assit sur Pherbe et se mit a pecher la truite, Mais soudain il glissa sur le sol boueux Et tomba lourdement a 1'eau, tout de suite, Parmi la jonchaie.

Le chapeau a larges bords que cet homme portait Flottait a la surface de la riviere; L'homme sortit de 1'eau, ruisselant et froid Mais le chapeau continua vers la mer Loin de la jonchaie.

PENNY HOLLAND.

BIRDS OF PARADISE I looked towards the open sea From where I stood upon the quay; And all at once I saw a bird, A second followed, then a third.

Their wings were golden and their breasts Were whiter than the wavelets' crests, The rest of them was ruby red From tip of tail to top of head.

The air around them glowed with fire, As they soared upwards, higher, higher.

Then, quickly as they did appear, They vanished in the shimmering air.

What they were I do not know, Nor how I came to see them so; I only know the loveliest sight, I've ever seen was their strange flight.

C. RICKETTS. 24

SONNET As I lie dreaming, in this foreign land, Of happy days and times now far away, There's nothing to remind me, here at hand, Of England, on a cool green summer's day, Where cricket sounds o'er village greens will drift, And onlookers are deep in their repose, Till last man in makes many runs so swift; Though out, triumphant off the pitch he goes.

But here the river bed is parched and dry, Unlike fresh English streams so full of trout, Where willows bow to wild duck swimming by The anglers fishing on the banks about.

Condemned to live in exile here in Spain, I wish I could see England once again.

SUSAN BLADES.

GAMES The lacrosse teams this year have played well especially the under 15 who managed to remain unbeaten. The two highlights of the season for the 1st team were the schools' tournament at Winchester, in which we reached the semi-finals and the tournament at Merton which, as usual, was most enjoyable.

This season two of the hard courts were resurfaced, making a great improvement and we are very lucky to have so many good courts.

Tennis has been hampered this year owing to the school being in quarantine. The under 15 have played extremely well in all their matches and were only beaten once. The 1st team have enjoyed some close matches, especially that against Godolphin. We were very glad to be hostesses for the Junior Wilts Tournament, held here this year.

The Upper Sixth played a hilarious match against the staff, who had a splendid team and emerged the victors. The traditional " Mums" match was played in May and we were pleased to see some new mothers on the court.

Owing to the " typically English weather " our swimming activities have been restricted this year. Our match against St. Mary's, Wantage, was unfortunately cancelled because of chickenpox. The next week Westonbirt braved the pool and despite the freezing conditions, beat us in both the matches.

25

" Thank you " seems to be rather a meaningless word nowadays but we are really very grateful for the help and encouragement which Miss Gray and Miss Bergman have given us throughout the year.

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

July 24th, 1965.

My dear Old Girls, I usually write this letter at the end of term in the garden. This time I am writing it in my room with the rain bucketing down outside, rather typical of the weather during most of this term!

Perhaps it is this which has set me off thinking about changes.

When Old Girls come to see us they are always, naturally, on the look out to see what has been altered since they left. I do not really believe that St. Mary's has, however, altered fundamentally!

Last night someone came across an old Manners and Morals book and we were very much amused and a good deal relieved to see how very similar to those made today were the suggestions and complaints made in the 30's! Public examinations probably do press more heavily on people today—qualifications have been stepped up so much and have become so important—but as you will see from this issue, I hope, we do still find time for some fun and all sorts of activities!

There are always, at the end of the school year, some changes of personnel and we are very sad, this year, to have to say goodbye to Miss Stallard and Miss Windsor-Aubrey. Miss Stallard has been very unwell since before Christmas and it was with deep regret that we heard in the spring that she had been advised by her doctors to give up full-time school work. We are very glad to hear that she is now a good deal better and hopes to visit her brother in the Argentine this winter. We miss her very much and shall always be grateful to her, especially for her work in building up the Mathematics Department.

It is difficult to imagine St. Mary's without Miss Windsor-Aubrey and, I am very glad to say, we do not have to do so as she will be coming back to do some part-time work here next year. She has infected generations of girls with a love of natural history and science. The new laboratories, put up in 1961, are a great tribute to her imagination and to her determination to get everything as good as it could possibly be. We all know her integrity and kindness, and admire her, too, as a first-rate sportswoman.

You may be a little mystified by the reference in the Editorial to " the Mews." In my letter to the News Sheet last year I told you that we were making a small addition to the Stable block at St. 29

Cecilia's. Once this was built, it was obvious that the only possible name for it was " the Mews." We are delighted to have Mr. and Mrs. Bieneman and their family living there. Eight of the Upper Sixth revel in two very pleasant bedrooms and I am very glad that this small extension has given us a chance to provide better and pleasanter accommodation for the staff, who do so much for us.

The exterior of the Mews, too, is a first-class piece of building, blending well with the laboratories and with St. Cecilia's and we hope it will not be long before our new achitect, Mr. Sampson Lloyd, will be able to carry out more work for us.

I could go on writing for a long time but I must not, so you must come to see for yourselves! Your visits really do enrich our life. It has been splendid to have Susan Rotherham here this term for Founders' Day and for Miss Windsor-Aubrey's leaving party.

We have had lots of visitors, this year, of many generations, and hope to see many more of you next year.

All good wishes and love to you all.

Yours ever, ELIZABETH M. GIBBINS.

LETTER FROM O.G.A. CHAIRMAN 7 Bradenham Beeches, Naphill, High Wycombe, Bucks.

July, 1965.

My dear Old Girls, Having completed my first year as Chairman of the O.G.A., I realise, with gratitude, what a very pleasant office it can be. It has brought me, among other things, invitations to both Founders' Day and the Music Festival, and it is the greatest possible joy to be able to join in with the school at these functions, and to meet old friends and make new ones. I have even discovered that my talented contemporaries now have talented daughters who are carrying on their traditions in the musical and drama activities in the school.

My latest visit to St. Mary's was this week when I was invited to supper with the school on the last night of term in order to say au revoir to Miss Windsor-Aubrey on her retirement and to make a presentation to her on your behalf.

30

Through your generosity I was able to present to Miss Aubrey, not only a very beautiful Sheraton card table, but also a handsome cheque; they were, I think, worthy tokens of our gratitude and affection.

Although Miss Windsor-Aubrey has been a vice-chairman of the O.G.A. since 1962 we can now welcome her as a fully qualified " Old Girl " !

You will note that once more my address has changed; like all Service wives we have to learn never to get too settled, and one becomes very adept at moving house in the end.

Do come to the winter reunion if you are in or near London on Saturday, January 22nd, 1966.

Yours ever, SUSAN ROTHERHAM.

LETTER FROM MISS WINDSOR-AUBREY 12 Dunsford Place, Bathwick Hill, Bath.

September 8th, 1965.

My dear Old Girls, I was thrilled and delighted by your wonderful presents, indeed quite overcome by all your generosity and kindness and the infinite care and trouble which were taken to give me exactly what I would like most. I shall never be able to express my appreciation adequately, but I do thank you all very much indeed for the beautiful antique card table and extremely generous cheque.

The table is superb, just the right size, so elegant and yet steady when opened out for play, truly a " perfect specimen." I had never dreamed of possessing anything as lovely as this, so far above the standard appropriate to a " sparrow." It is in our sitting room now and, though we have no other furniture in its class, it fits in splendidly and is much admired by all who see it. It inspires me with determination to become a better Bridge player. I must try to do it justice.

31

You have been far too kind and generous in giving me such a large cheque as well as an exceptionally nice present. I am very grateful to you for having been so good to me. I am looking forward to spending it at my leisure and when I have done so I will let you know what I have bought.

I owe much to St. Mary's. Thank you all very much for the parts you have played in making the many years which I have spent there so happy.

I hope, if any of you are ever in the neighbourhood of Bath and can spare the time, that you will come to see me and my presents in their home setting.

With best wishes, very, very many thanks and love to you all.

Yours ever, MARIAN WINDSOR-AUBREY.

Miss Chesshire. It was very nice to hear from Miss Chesshire recently. In between overseas trips she is kept busy with house and garden. In 1961 she visited Canada and U.S.A. In 1962 Miss Preston was given her sabbatical term, so they went together to New Zealand. Last year Miss Chesshire went for a most exciting trip round U.S.A. and again to Canada.

Miss Cridland hears news of St. Mary's from Mrs. Ede. She is glad to have Thea Higginbotham in her House.

Mary Chadwick left Cheltenham last summer and has been living and helping at home. She is teaching afternoons only at the Corfe Castle village school—quite an experience after being in a modern school on a new housing estate !

Rachel Clarke has started training as a solicitor in Bristol and is at Law School, taking her Part I examinations at the beginning of August.

Christine Claydon (Gibson) and her husband are now settled in their house and are enjoying their first taste of gardening. Christine is expecting her first baby in September, so will be giving up teaching.

Nicola Connolly has finished a busy but interesting year doing a medical and surgical house job at St. George's Hospital. She hopes to get a paediatric job next.

Angela Cotterell (Cheshire) has had a very enjoyable part-time job showing American tourists around London, which provided a complete contrast to domestic life with two small boys.
