OCTOBER 1967

EDITORIAL We came back at the beginning of the Autumn Term to find a large orange crane towering over Plumer Wing. The builders had moved in during the holidays, and the foundations were laid. Now at the end of the Summer Term, the decorators have arrived, and the painting has begun. It seems hard to imagine that there will be sixth forms sleeping there next term, but everyone seems very confident that it will be ready in time.

This term, the school has been on two visits to London. There have been two parties to Wimbledon, and one small party to the Stock Exchange. On both outings to Wimbledon we were very lucky to have good seats, and we saw some really excellent tennis.

At the beginning of the Spring Term, it was decided that music should play a greater part in Sunday evening Chapel. Records of voluntaries and organ recitals were played for a short while at the beginning and end of the service. On one occasion, the hymns were accompanied by a string quartet.

Only one thing has marred this year—the death of Miss Plumer, who for so long has been so very good to us as Chairman of the Governors, and a friend to the school.

ROSEMARY BOWEN-COLTHURST. 1

ELEANOR PLUMER R.I.P. I never met Miss Plumer until the day on which she first joined our Governing Body. I was a little afraid of her because I had been told that if she did not approve of us, she might not come again.

The day of the first Governors' meeting was a very anxious one as we had a girl very gravely ill, and I shall always remember her great kindness on that day.

After that first occasion, she never missed a Governors' meeting except twice when she was ill, and it was a great day for St. Mary's when she became our first woman Chairman in 1955.

Never, I am sure, had a school such a marvellous Chairman.

At meetings she was eminently clear-headed, fair and expeditious— but far more than that, she not only gave us generous support at all school functions but also gave us frequent private visits. She shared her wonderful travels with us, gave us tremendously wise and practical advice, and quite amazingly seemed to know everyone in the school.

We shall miss her kind, witty and stimulating presence more than I can say, but we are deeply thankful that she was spared a long illness and was able to work at top form till within three weeks of the end of her life.

She has set us all an outstanding example of high courage and faith. We know that all must be well with her in God's keeping, and that she would tell us to go ahead and to carry on, as I am sure we must do—fired by the inspiration she has given us.

E. M. GIBBINS.

THE GOVERNORS—JULY, 1967 Sir Edmund Compton, K.C.B., K.B.E. (Chairman) Lady Brooke of Cumnor Mrs. Walter Hamilton J. A. Keevil, Esq. Miss G. Kirby S. Lloyd, Esq. (Chairman of Finance Committee) 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. Mrs. G. Wilkinson

It is with great pride and gratitude that we are able to say that Sir Edmund Compton has agreed to become our new Chairman of the Governors. He has already tremendous commitments, and we appreciate his kindness and generosity in this additional undertaking. We were also very glad at our meeting in July to welcome, as a new Governor, Lady Brooke of Cumnor, already a valued friend and former parent.

I am very glad, as ever, to have this opportunity of recording our gratitude to all our Governors for their unfailing support and encouragemen t.

E.M.G. DR. JAMES' RETIREMENT We were very sad to hear, during the Summer Term, that Dr. James was retiring early in the autumn.

Dr. James has been the school's medical officer since 1945 and attended many girls at St. Mary's for a long time before that when Dr. Ede was senior partner in the practice.

We have all much appreciated his kind, wise and sympathetic help during illness. He has also been a great friend of the school and has joined in many social occasions. I shall always remember him dancing the Eightsome Reel at School Dances and it was great fun when he had time to play his 'cello in the school orchestra.

We thank him very much for all he has done for us and wish him and Mrs. James a very happy retirement in Edinburgh.

THE CONFIRMATION The Confirmation Service was taken by the Bishop of Salisbury on Sunday, 27th November, 1966, in the Parish Church.

The following were confirmed : Susan Blades Elizabeth Lloyd Joanna Brown Frances Maitland Caroline Donell Susan Maundrell Jane Edwards Lucilla Napier Jean Fuller Ruth Pope Penelope Hanii Caroline Porter Sarah Hann Jane Reeve Olivia Hardie Katharine Roskill Victoria Harrison-Cripps Sarah Sharpley Catherine Stamper Christine Heath Jane Tyndall Juliet Heywood Belinda Hick Phyllis Waldock Angela Hookway Henrietta Wells Susan Hooper Zoe Wilson Fiona Jackson Henrietta Woods Sarah Hargrave was confirmed by the Bishop of Salisbury on llth December, 1966.

CHAPEL SERVICES We are most grateful to those who have preached or taken services during the year : The Most Reverend Philip Carrington, the Reverend M. Currah, the Reverend G. E. Griffiths, the Right Reverend Bishop R. O. Hall, the Reverend P. N. Hamilton, Prebendary C. W. Trevelyan, the Reverend C. E. Willis.

U.G.S. After long and careful thought, it was decided at a school meeting in the Autumn Term of 1966 that we would only support the U.G.S. for one year longer. We have enormously appreciated our connection with the Mission for a great many years. In the days when the Mission was founded, girls lived such comparatively sheltered lives that it was most clearly right that they should support a central organisation for social work. Now, however, we are much freer, and for some time the Upper Sixth and Sixth have been visiting a good many elderly people in Calne. We also regularly visit and support Greathouse, the Cheshire Home at Kington Langley.

We hope very much to keep up the Health Festival on St. Luke's Day, but in future gifts from the school will go to help people locally. If those old girls who so kindly and regularly send gifts for St. Luke's Day earmark them for the U.G.S., we will of course forward them, but if they are not so earmarked we will take it that these too may be used locally.

MUSIC 1966

Sept. 22nd Oct. llth Dec. llth

Frederick Grinke—violin recital.

Music Festival.

Carol Service.

Feb. 2nd Mar. 9th Mar. 18th June

Joseph Weingarten—piano recital.

Chamber Music Competition.

"A Child of our Time" at Marlborough.

Bath Festival.

1967

The concerts we have had this year have all been very much enjoyed.

In the Autumn Term, Frederick Grinke gave an excellent violin recital. This was particularly interesting for some members of the orchestra who had the honour of playing with him a few years ago.

In the Spring Term, Joseph Weingarten gave a piano recital—his programme was most varied and unusual.

It was fortunate that so many people were able to hear Yehudi Menuhin playing with the BBC Orchestra, and that we had such good seats. It was, however, felt that the programme which consisted of Berg, Debussy and Berlioz, was rather disappointing.

As always, the music staff, who do so much for us throughout the year, put a great deal of their time and energy into the Music Festival. The main work was Brahms' " Liebeslieder." " Schwanda the Bagpiper " played by the orchestra, was especially popular with the audience, and the concert as a whole seems to have been much enjoyed.

In the Spring Term, the sixth forms sang with Marlborough College "A Child of our Time " by Michael Tippett. This certainly was a great experience, and was quite different from anything any of us had attempted before. Graham Smallbone inspired us with his enthusiasm, and rehearsals came to be a pleasure rather than a grind. Excitement was increased by the presence of Tippett himself at the performance.

The Chamber Music Competition, which was again kindly judged

by Dr. Still, was a great success this year. The number of entries was almost double that of last year, and it was evident that a great deal of work went into the competition.

DRAMA 1966

Dec. 10th and 13th

Form Shakespeare Competition.

1967

Mar. 25th Mar. 27th Mar. 28th July 1st

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.

You Never Can Tell by G. B. Shaw.

The Brass Butterfly by W. Golding.

Arms and the Man by G. B. Shaw.

Much enthusiasm was shown in the preparation of Form Shakespeare this year. On the whole, diction was clearer than in previous years and a great deal of attention had been given to programmes and costumes. In some cases this may have been slightly to the detriment of the acting.

The difficulty of choosing company plays suitable to the school's taste and abilities has provided the usual problem. A great deal of trouble had obviously been taken over the production of Rebecca.

The setting for the great hall of Manderley was particularly realistic, providing an excellent background for the action of the main characters, and the wind and sea effects built up a suitably tense atmosphere.

Far removed from the typical company play was The Brass Butterfly by William Golding, a choice made difficult by the philosophy underlying the main theme. It was, perhaps, not easy for the audience to appreciate the subtleties of the author, though a good deal of the play was well managed.

In striking contrast to these two plays was Shaw's You Never Can Tell, in which the cast successfully created a mood of light seaside gaiety, and the production and acting were competent throughout.

The Founders' Day play, Arms and the Man by Bernard Shaw, provided much scope for characterisation and was gay and colourful. The play as a whole ran smoothly and appeared to have been enjoyed by everyone. Miss Stannard is to be congratulated on the beautiful scenery which did so much to suggest the Balkan atmosphere, and Miss Nesbitt on the production as a whole.

1967

Feb. 11 th Mar. 3rd-4th

Mr. Norman Ayrden on Drama.

Diocesan Conference at Dinton.

On all these occasions, one suspects, the audiences felt they had learned something new, but perhaps especially so after Mr. Quadling's talk on Russia. We were astonished by the many racial contrasts, brought out by his slides, among the peoples of this strange land.

Those who had seized on the outing to Marlborough for the Commonwealth Institute Conference there as a " break" from school routine, were agreeably surprised to find themselves taking part in the discussions and absorbing the words of the really excellent lecturers. Marlborough was again the scene for another enjoyable excursion, this time at the kind invitation of Mr. Silk. However, the atmosphere that evening was more informal, with Mr. Ayrden (the director of L.A.M.D.A.) seated on the sofa, giving an amusing, though none the less interesting, account of his work as a producer.

Mr. Ailes manfully presided over the heated arguments from varied sixth formers which the topic of " War and peace within and without" provoked. Both this, and the beautiful setting for the conference, Philipps House, Dinton, helped to make this an unforgettable weekend.

SENIOR SOCIETIES The Senior Societies have flourished this year and their success is due to the hard work put in by the committees and staff, and we would like to thank them very much for all the time they have given up.

Political and Current Affairs Society. The society has had a good year and its membership remains high. A number of speakers visited us and spoke on an interesting variety of topics. In the Autumn Term, Mr. Crawford spoke on Pakistan and India, and Mr. Gaminara on Rhodesia, Zambia and Malawi. In the Spring Term a panel consisting of Mr. Forbes, Mr. Tickner, Miss BrowneWilkinson and Major Ritchie, under the chairmanship of Mr. Bieneman, discussed education, while in the Summer Term Mr. Richardson not only spoke to us on the Stock Exchange, but acted as host to ten members for a wonderful trip to the Stock Exchange and Houses of Parliament. To all our visitors, and all who have helped us, we are most grateful.

13

Classical Society. The society has continued to flourish with the help of Mr. Murray and Miss Hannay. In the autumn we had the Junior Wiltshire Classical Society meeting here, and the speaker was Professor Maguinness who talked on Virgil and Milton.

This year we have again been to Bristol University's Classical Production, which was a colourful and amusing performance of Aristophenes' Lysistrata.

In the middle of summer exams, some members went to Bradfield during their week of Greek plays and saw Choephon and the Eumenides of Aeschylus in the beautiful amphitheatre there.

Stamp Club. The stamp club has greatly increased in numbers during the past year, mainly attracted by the wonderful collection of stamps that Miss Gibbins has given to the society and for which we are most grateful. In the autumn we had a film on " Stamp Errors," and since then we have had some competitions and hope to be able to see behind the scenes in the Post Office in the future.

The Photographic Society has made good use of the dark room this year and has gained several new pieces of equipment for it.

Membership numbers have increased and there was an encouraging number of entries for the competition held during the Spring Term.

All the entries were printed by the entrants in the school dark room.

Mr. Davis and Miss Stedmond very kindly judged the competition and finally awarded the following prizes : 1st Anthea Salmon and Susan Agnew; 2nd Marjorie Smith; 3rd Frances Maitland, and a prize to Audrey Smith for her trick photography.

The Play-reading Society. At the very beginning of the autumn term the society underwent a purge, and the number of members was reduced from sixty to about thirty-five. This made a more ambitious programme possible and resulted in a higher standard of reading. Probably the two most successful plays which were read were Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood in which everybody read one if not two parts, and John Osborne's Look Back in Anger in which Deborah McQueen and Nicky Dancy as Jimmy and Alison Porter achieved an exceptionally high standard of reading. Other plays read during the year include Luther by Osborne, Antigone

by Jean Anouilh, The Government Inspector by Nikolai Gogol, The Devil's Disciple by Shaw, and Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward.

Before Christmas, Upper Sixth members of the society gave a performance of The Amorous Prawn by Antony Kimmins, which everybody seemed to enjoy. We were very grateful to Marlborough College Corps for loaning us the appropriate army uniforms.

The Scientific Society. During the spring term, we were fortunate to be able to hear Mr. Goddard talking on " computers." He managed successfully to make this a very interesting lecture.

14

This term we went on a very successful outing to the West Woods.

This was combined with a competition for the best collection of wild flowers or insects.

JUNIOR SOCIETIES The members of the Junior Societies have all enjoyed their outings this year, of which there have been so many.

The Gym Club would like to thank Miss Thomas and Miss Eldridge for giving so much of their time towards its meetings.

There have been many members throughout the year who have very much appreciated the use of the gym.

The Bird Society has had many members during the last year, and there are many young enthusiasts. During the Summer Term, an outing to the Tropical Bird Gardens at Rode was organised by Miss Taylor, and was enjoyed by all. After we had seen the gardens we were entertained to a lovely tea by Mrs. Soames and we are most grateful. We would like to thank Miss Taylor and Miss Windsor-Aubrey for their hard work.

The Junior Musical Society. During this year, this society has increased greatly in numbers. In the Summer Term, Miss Nesbitt kindly arranged for us to go to the performance of The Mikado at the Bentley Grammar School, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who went. Also during the Summer Term, the Society held a talent competition, for which there was a great variety of entrants. We would like to thank all the music staff for judging the competition, and to especially thank Miss Nesbitt for organising so many quizzes and competitions throughout the year.

The Animal Society has had great joy in looking after the hamster, although she has caused great worry when she has escaped several times, only to be found, on one occasion, chewing a hole in the Coulter Library wall. On behalf of the Animal Society, we would like to thank Miss Taylor for being so co-operative and also for arranging our outing to Bristol Zoo. We have all greatly appreciated the way that the staff have given up so much of their spare time to help the societies.

OLIVIA COOK and VERONICA BARLEE.

EASTER WEEKEND The prospect of an Easter spent at school was very unpopular, but it proved to be a great success.

Good Friday was extremely well-organised and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, After a late breakfast, the Upper V's and VFs 15

went to Salisbury Cathedral for the three-hour service, which was taken by the former Bishop of Hong Kong, the Rev. R. O. Hall.

We were able to come out between the sermons, and have our packed lunches in the Cathedral grounds. However, the service was so impressive that many preferred to stay for the full three hours.

Whilst the seniors were at Salisbury, the Juniors were taken to a special service at the Parish Church. Miss Gibbins, accompanied by a number of staff, then took them for an energetic walk on the Downs, having had a picnic lunch there beforehand. The whole school arrived back for a high tea, and the lovely surprise of hot cross buns!

Saturday afternoon was spent in supporting riotous company lacrosse matches, eventually won by Grosstete. Besides this, a small party went to pick primroses for the Cheshire Homes. In the evening, Osmund and Edmund Rich gave a very good performance of Rebecca.

In the morning of Easter Sunday, we attended the Easter Service, and Mr. Hamilton took our evening chapel. Throughout the whole weekend there was a terrific consumption of Easter eggs, and by Sunday evening many were feeling a bit sick !

ANNA KAY and ANNE CATTERALL.

THE LIBRARY The end of the Summer Term will have seen the last days of the Bodington Library in its old home, for in the beginning of the new school year, the Library will be transferred to its new quarters in the Plumer Wing.

In preparation for the move, sub-librarians and other helpers have been carefully checking the sections and removing books that have become so out-of-date as to be useless, a condition applying particularly to scientific works.

The ordinary care and repairing of books has been going on steadily throughout the year; and we thank all those who have worked so unflaggingly, and intelligently, and given so much of their time to keeping both the Bodington and the Coulter Libraries in good order.

As usual, new books have been added to the Libraries in the course of the year, 208 since July 1966. Some of these have been purchased from the Library Fund and from school subscriptions, and some have been presented by Old Girls and friends, to all of whom we are most grateful for their kind thought and acceptable gifts.

GAMES Miss Thomas and Miss Eldridge were both " new " at the beginning of this year and they have built up great enthusiasm towards games in both the winter and summer. The lacrosse teams lost several good players at the end of last year but they have had a moderately good season. The netball teams played well in their few matches.

As usual tennis was the most popular summer sport but Miss Thomas has made many more people enjoy swimming. The First VI competed in the Aberdare Gup for the first time for many years, and we were very proud that they reached the third round.

This year we had a parents, staff and school tennis tournament, one Friday evening, which was won by Mr. Richardson and Vicky Richardson and the runners-up were Mrs. Richardson and Rachel Miller. The one rounders match that was played was most exciting.

FRUITLESS SEARCH A translation from the German We were borne along in ships, Moving eternally through The glaring whiteness of winter.

We journeyed further and further And rocked on a land-dotted sea; The current swirled past us, the sky Arched empty and echoing round.

Name a town at whose entrance-gate I've neglected to keep my watch, On the chance that you might pass through, Whose beloved curl I took.

As I searched in the falling dusk, I shone light on the passers-by; It only revealed to my aching heart A succession of alien masks.

I searched among the bodiless dead In forsaken and solitary places Where cold-coffined corpses dwell, But I could not find you there.

I roamed far over the fields Where the heads of the tossing trees, Stripped of their summer green, Rose sharp in the icy sky.

I have scattered the crows and the rooks; They fled and were quickly engulfed In the gloom that broods over the land.

But they dropped from the height like stones, Fell wailing into the night, With wisps of straw and of weeds Still clamped in their iron beaks.

Sometimes I hear your soft voice Whisper in the winnowing wind, And I dream that I feel your hand Gently caressing my brow.

The past returns again And revolves before my eyes.

Though I strained through the eddying ashes, Your shadow fled pale and was lost.

THE WITCHES Silhouetted against the moon, A black shape came bustling by, Dipped, then rose, whipped by the wind Towards the velvet, star-spangled sky.

Like a flock of birds, more came To hide their leader in the throng, With pointed hat and ragged cloak, And circling, sang a mournful song.

Each broomstick held a hissing cat— Black as coal, with glowing eyes— Which clawed the air with talons sharp And uttered little, gusty sighs.

Then, suddenly, they sank away Into the light of another day.

ROSEMARY TERRY.

AN EVENING IN FRANCE The sun is setting low and red, A large and glowing ball of fire ; The sheep baa softly on the hill, And cattle low within the byre.

In the village, further down, Men talk of things that once have been, The women chat, the children play, The countryside is most serene.

Into it, suddenly, we come.

Peace and serenity scatter far, With that monstrosity on wheels, The noisy motor-car.

Hens and chickens squawk and flap, The old men point, the women stare, The children watch and laugh with glee; And petrol fills the once-sweet air.

We climb the hillside in our car, The village goes to bed below, Their supper eaten in the dusk, For modern ways they do not know.

AMANDA MACKENZIE STUART. 20

MY DREAM I dreamt of a milk-white stallion, Galloping over the moor.

I dreamt of a mighty galleon, Tossed on a desert shore.

I dreamt of the next day, I dreamt of the last, I dreamt of the future, I dreamt of the past, I dreamt of the sunshine, I dreamt of the rain : I dreamt until morning, And, then, woke again.

ELIZABETH BOWEN-COLTHURST.

A GOOD FRIDAY POEM In the Garden of Gethsemane The Lord in anguish prayed : " Father, who loves so many, Take this cup before me laid; Take, do not make me drink, For I am sore afraid.

Yet, Father, not what I think, But you, who all things made."

And, sweating in his last hour, Before he was betrayed, He woke the scared disciples— His fear began to fade. " Pray for me, he begged them, For when in tomb I'm laid, I shall rest but one day, Not lie in death, decayed."

Then Judas came, and kissed him The Lord, he was betrayed.

The Romans came, and took him : The price of death was paid, For the Lord's so gracious love Can never in life fade.

MELISSA RICHARDSON. 21

STORM Birds scurry, Rabbits hurry, The clouds form dark and grey, The rain falls, The song thrush calls, Gone is the light of day.

The thunder crashes, The lightning flashes, Hurry home to the dry.

Hurry, scurry!

Scurry, hurry!

Till the storm has passed us by.

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

7th July, 1967.

My Dear Old Girls, This is a record, as I have never before written my letter for the News Sheet so early!

Our building projects this summer include not only our very splendid new boarding house for fifty-nine sixth-formers, but also the reconstruction of the office and the conversion of the old Bodington Library (transferred to the Plumer Wing) into a new waiting room. This means that Mrs. Sykes and I have notice to quit three days after the end of term to make way for the builders, and I have been told that I must get ahead !

I am sure you will approve of the New House and alterations, and hope that you will be able soon to come to see them. It is thrilling that having provided for all essential educational needs, Form-rooms, Libraries, Science Block, and Gym, we are now in a position, as you'll read elsewhere in this News Sheet, to go ahead to raise funds for the new Chapel.

24

This has been a full year—all the traditional functions have been kept up, and there have been many activities and expeditions. We are proud that in spite of examination and work pressure, the school has found time for music, for acting, and for many flourishing society meetings.

We have realised lately more than ever, what an advantage it is to live, though still in a country setting, so close to the centre of a small town. A great many of the sixth formers have made real friends with old people in Calne and at the Kington Langley branch of the Cheshire Homes. This enables people, while still at school, to begin to take their part in serving the community. As we read the Old Girls' News, we realise that many of you are doing this sort of thing too. This is a time when public schools have to face much criticism, and we are by no means complacent, but we are proud to see both past and present members of the school gladly and capably shouldering their responsibilities in the world.

All the best of good wishes to you all.

Yours ever, ELIZABETH M. GIBBINS.

THE HONOURABLE ELEANOR PLUMER On behalf of the Old Girls' Association may I add to the tributes which have been paid to Miss Plumer.

Miss Plumer's interest for past as well as present members of St. Mary's was real indeed. She thoroughly enjoyed coming to our London Reunions and her tremendous vitality and strength of character have encouraged many of us who have been privileged enough to know her.

It may be of interest to note that it was, in fact, Miss Plumer who suggested that I should call an emergency meeting of the O.G.A. Committee to discuss ways and means of helping the Governors to raise the necessary funds to complete their building programme by Centenary Year. A report of the meeting and suggestions for doing just this will be found on a separate leaflet which accompanies this News Sheet.

M. S. ROTHERHAM (Chairman O.G.A.}.

REGISTRATION OF OLD GIRLS' DAUGHTERS We are very proud to have so many Old Girls' daughters at school. It has been decided by the Governors, however, to alter the method of registration.

25

At present, Old Girls may put their daughters down at birth. We are very glad that a good many of these do eventually join the school. It is, however, very difficult, especially in these days, for people to plan so far ahead, and we find every year that several Old Girls for whose daughters places have been kept for twelve years, find it impossible to take them up—either for financial reasons, or because they are living too far away.

We are sure it is right to give Old Girls priority, and so it has now been decided that, in future, they may put their daughters down SIX years ahead, e.g. from January 1968 for a place in September 1974. For everyone else, registration will remain four years ahead, i.e. from the January four years before a vacancy is desired.

E.M.G. NEWS OF OLD GIRLS Staff Miss Brett has been much occupied with alterations to her cottage and redecoration. She was looking forward to a holiday in Switzerland in September.
