ST. MARY'S SCHOOL, CALNE NEWS SHEET NUMBER 55

OCTOBER 1970

EDITORIAL This year has been marked by the Old Girls' Reunion in May being held at the school, during the Junior Half-Term, while the upper forms were here. A great many Old Girls were able to come, and the school was very glad to meet many of its former members.

We were most fortunate in having good weather, and the traditional tennis tournament was very popular. It was a week-end that was enjoyed by everyone, and we should like to thank all those who made it such a memorable and happy occasion.

There have been no spectacular changes during the year, though the style of our uniform has been slightly altered. The life of the school has gone on as usual, with examinations, coming, as they so often do, in lovely summer weather. However, we have enjoyed other activities, which, owing to our having been remarkably free from epidemics, have been many and various, such as a picnic, on the Downs for the whole school on Ascension Day, a visit to Wimbledon by the Sixth Forms, and parties to Bath and Salisbury for concerts and plays.

It was sad to say farewell to Canon O'Hanlon in November, for he had been Vicar of Calne for eighteen years. He has now moved to his new parish of Coombe Bissett, near Salisbury. Canon Witcomb, whom we were pleased to welcome, took the Founders' Day service this year.

Witcomb As ever, and ever more gratefully, we are glad of this opportunity of saying a whole-hearted thank you to our Governors for all their thought and kindness. It really was tremendous, this summer, that our Chairman, who is so busy, and several other Governors, too, came two Saturdays running, to Founders' Day and to the Governors' Meeting.

There are some changes. We are very sad that Mr. Keevil and Mr. Prideaux are retiring this year and we thank them very much for their good and wise help to us. The Vicar of Calne is our only ex-officio Governor.

MUSIC

1969 September 17th October 2nd October 9th November 1970 March March March May June

15th 6th 19th 22nd 1st 5th

Bournemouth Sinfonietta at Chippenham.

Song Recital. John Carol Case.

Concert—Martin, Christopher, and Michael Bochmann.

Music Festival—conductor Bernard Shore.

Piano Recital. Joseph Weingarten.

Chamber Music Competition.

Britten's War Requiem at Marlborough.

Intimate Opera The Music Master. Pergolesi.

Cox and Box. Sullivan.

Bath Festival Concert in the Abbey.

The autumn term began with some feverish activity on behalf of the 1st Orchestra in preparation for Michael Bochmann's inspiring performance of Bach's Violin Concerto in E major. The Bochmann family then went on to give us a marvellous concert, including a violin solo by Christopher, and a "Father and Son" cello duet.

After this, the Orchestra set to work on Schubert's Unfinished Symphony and Mendelssohn's Fingal's Cave Overture, which were performed at the Music Festival conducted by Bernard Shore.

This year the seniors sang selections from The Beggar's Opera and the Juniors provided a pleasant contrast with a lively performance of Negro Spirituals.

In the annual Chamber Music Competition, so kindly judged by Dr. Still, the seniors made up for their absence last year by contributing a large number of entries, and the standard of playing was generally good Once again we were invited to join Marlborough College Musical Society for their annual performance. This year the work chosen was Britten's War Requiem and the performance of this extremely difficult music was widely commended. Perhaps many parents are now suffering from the playing of the recording! The school should now be well informed on the development of songs through the ages after John Carol Case's enlightening performance and lecture. We also very much enjoyed Joseph Weingarten's inspiring performance of Beethoven's Appassionata sonata, Schumann's Carnaval and a variety of Chopin's works.

10

This term, between examinations, many of the seniors visited Bath Abbey to hear a marvellous concert consisting of the Tallis Forty Part Motet, Vaughan Williams' Fantasia and music by Bach and Gabrielli. An anthem by Sir Michael Tippett, conducted by the composer, provided a wonderful conclusion to this concert.

At the end of the autumn term we were very sorry to say goodbye to Miss Warner, who has given so much of her time and interest during the last ten years to our music. We are especially grateful for her wonderful work with the two orchestras and her endless patience in coaching chamber music groups.

JULIET HEYWOOD AND KAREN WALLACE

DRAMA 1969 Dec. 14th-15th Mar. 16th

Form Shakespeare Competition.

The Rose and the Ring. Thackeray (Moberley and Osmund).

Mar. 19th The Ghost Train. Arnold Ridley (Poore and Edmund Rich).

Mar. 21st The Farmer's Wife. Eden Philpotts (Grosstete).

The Rivals. Sheridan.

June 27th The general standard of Form Shakespeare was rather variable, and there was a considerable gap between the winning form and all the others. In the best productions the diction was excellent and there was some imaginative singing and dressing. The Sixth Form won the cup with their splendid performance of Hamlet, and the second cup went to Lower Fifth East (A. Winter's Tale) and Upper Fourth West (The Tempest).

Much work was put into the company plays this year. The Rose and The Ring (Osmund and Moberley) with its large cast, gave many younger members of the school an opportunity to show their acting ability. Poore and Edmund Rich gave an extremely convincing and effective performance of The Ghost Train and Grosstete amused us all with their production of The Farmer's Wife.

In the spring term the Upper Fifths went to an excellent production of Henry the Fifth in Bath, and visits were also paid to the Salisbury Playhouse to see King Lear and a contemporary play, Cabbages and Kings.

After a gap of two years we again had a Founders' Day play this year. A great deal of hard work was done by the Sixth Form, who gave a very professional performance of The Rivals which was much enjoyed by both parents and school. We must thank Miss Nesbitt for making it such a successful production, and Miss Stannard and Miss Gibbs for the very effective settings.

MIRANDA STUART-WILLIAMS 11

CONFERENCES AND LECTURES 1969 Sept. 15th

Sept. 22nd Oct.

31st

Inspector Hawkins on Aspects of Policing in Modern Society.

Colonel Swift on the work of the British Heart Foundation.

Monsieur Wieder on The Students' Revolt in France, 1968 Dr. Geake on Drug Addiction.

Mrs. Warren on Speech Therapy.

Nov. llth Nov. 21st 1970 Feb. 7th Dr. Tomson on Medical Work in the Transkei.

Mar. 2nd Christian Education Conference.

8th Sally Duveen on Experiences in Mexico.

Mar. May llth Sir John Lawrence on the Christian in Russia To-day.

July 4th Mr. Oliver Millar on The Queen's Pictures.

The lectures this year seem to have been particularly interesting and extremely varied. In the autumn, Inspector Hawkins of the Wiltshire Constabulary came, and, by his talk and film, opened our eyes to the world of the policeman, and reminded us, since we are inclined to forget it, that he is as human as the rest of us.

In September, we were also given a lecture describing the marvellous work that The British Heart Foundation does, both in its dedicated research into the causes of heart disease and in its continued struggle to help those suffering from heart complaints.

Monsieur Weider's most interesting talk on student life in France at the present day gave us a more detailed knowledge of it than we had had hitherto, and also helped us to form a picture of student unrest in French universities.

Dr. Geake gave an enlightening talk, of great relevance to the present day, to the Lower V upwards, on drugs and the horrifying effects they can, and do, have on people, dispelling completely the idea that it might be "fun" and the "in thing" to try them.

Mrs. Warren came in November to talk to us about Speech Therapy. This lecture was interesting, amusing and extremely informative. We heard tape-recordings of various patients before their treatment and after, their voices after treatment being nearly always unrecognisable, so great was the improvement.

In the spring term, Dr. Tomson gave us a refreshingly informal talk about the Transkei in South Africa where he had spent some time. The slides, colourful and illustrative of the country and people, were enjoyed by everyone. Another interesting first hand experience came from Sally Duveen who told us what life is like in Mexico. Slides also accompanied this talk.

12

On March 2nd a Sixth Form Christian Education Conference was held here in which neighbouring schools participated. The Reverend Peter Coleman, the Anglican Chaplain of Bristol University, presided, and the whole conference was efficiently conducted by the Reverend G. E. Griffiths.

During the summer, Sir John Lawrence came to give the Senior School a talk on the Christian's position in the U.S.S.R. at this time. This was a most interesting and absorbing lecture, and, for once, the listeners' usual inhibitions about asking questions were forgotten in their aroused interest.

The last lecture of the term was one of very outstanding quality indeed. Mr. Oliver Millar, Master of the Queen's Pictures, talked to a completely spell-bound audience of the great royal collection, built up over the years, from Tudor times to the present day. A large number of unusually fine coloured slides added to our understanding and enjoyment of the lecture itself, a lecture which no-one, who was privileged to hear it, is likely to forget.

REBECCA GIBBINS AND MARY ROLT

Classical Society. Owing to lack of time for meetings, activities have been somewhat limited. However, in the autumn term, Mr. Reynell, Senior Classics Master at Marlborough College, very kindly came over and gave us a lecture with slides on Greek Architecture. This was much appreciated by all.

A quiz was also held with questions on classical topics and the winners were Jane Barraclough and Antonia Bullard.

We read The Medea by Euripides, which was well attended and, on the whole, well read. We had planned to take the whole Society to the Greek Play at Bradfield this term, but unfortunately we could only obtain tickets for a small party. The play was Sophocles' Philoctetes, which was extremely well produced and most impressive, with exciting music at dramatic points.

We would like to thank Mr. Murray and Miss Hannay very much indeed for all their organization, and we are very sad to have to say goodbye to Miss Hannay. We wish her every happiness in the future.

LUCILLA NAPIER AND JANE BARRACLOUGH

The Play Reading Society. This year we have read some interesting plays and a high standard of reading seems to have prevailed.

In the Autumn Term we read Journey's End by R. C. Sheriff.

This was thoroughly enjoyed, and a good atmosphere was created.

Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas, was possibly too ambitious, and rather less successful, in that, with such a large cast, it was difficult to achieve continuity.

A Man for All Seasons by Robert Bolt, being a long play, 13

took several readings, occupying most of the spring term. This was well read, and the fact that most of the Society had recently seen the film helped us to a clearer understanding of the play.

Lastly / Have Been Here Before by J. B. Priestley was read in the summer; an interesting play about experiment with time.

LUGILLA NAPIER AND PATRICIA SOAMES

SENIOR SOCIETIES Scientific Society. During the year, the Scientific Society has had several interesting meetings and lectures, including one on Light, which we much appreciated, from Mr. Leacey. We also had a Quiz, and a balloon debate in which Mr. Crawford and Miss Towns very ably took part.

On July 2nd, in spite of threatening weather, we went for a most successful expedition to West Woods, and this enjoyable afternoon brought our year's activities to an end.

We thank Mr. Davis, Miss Towns, and especially Mr. Crawford, for their help and encouragement throughout the year.

S. WILSON AND R. POPE

Stamp Club. Although there have been few meetings this year, the distribution of many interesting stamps was much appreciated by those present, We are still very much in debt to Brigadier Edwards who kindly gave us some of the stamps which he no longer collects since he began specialising.

ALISON BROWN

Political and Current Affairs Society. Quality rather than quantity could be said to describe our meetings this year, for unfortunately, we were thwarted first by the snow and later by the Election. However, we have been well supported.

Our first guest was Mr. Macgregor-Johnson who came to talk about the law. This very interesting lecture was extremely informative and highly amusing.

During the summer Mrs. Mackenzie-Stuart spoke to us about the Common Market, outlining its history, functions, and its tremendous amount of work. All our members have become enthusiastic Common Market supporters, and only wish that the country as a whole could be as well informed as we are now.

Calne Civic Society held a meeting at the beginning of the year to which some of our Upper Sixth members went, entering whole-heartedly into the spirit of the organisation. We hope that the society will continue to flourish.

REBECCA GIBBINS

The Photographic Society. The Photographic Society has been quite active this year, and there has been a notable rise in the number of members. A great deal of successful work has been 14

done, and we hope for more in the future.

This term we went to Longleat, and although the weather was not very good at times, we hope to have some clear photographs.

It is is hoped that more people will develop their own films this year, as well as printing them, but this takes courage!

F. KERR

JUNIOR SOCIETIES Musical Society. We are glad to say that the Junior Musical Society has had a very successful year.

Many meetings were organised and a number of ingenious competitions devised. Attendance was exceptionally high and everyone seemed thoroughly to enjoy taking part.

This term we were once again taken to a performance of a Gilbert and Sullivan opera by the Monckton Hill Opera Group.

Their production of Princess Ida was much enjoyed by everyone, perhaps the more so for being one of the lesser known operas.

Our thanks are due to Miss Nesbitt for her efficient organisation and for so kindly providing the prizes.

CYNTHIA MILLAR, VICTORIA MARMION, HELEN JOHNSTON

The Bird and Animal Society. The Bird and Animal Society has had a reasonably good year. We had a very interesting1 outing to Bristol Zoo which was much enjoyed. Mrs. Hooper most kindly invited all fifty of us back to tea afterwards, an ending to the day that was much appreciated by everyone. We look forward to another expedition next term to Rode Bird Gardens.

A drawing competition held by the Society had several very good entries. Catherine Jackson won first prize for a pencil drawing of a lionj and Antonia Darwall was second with a lively water colour of a hunting scene.

We should like to thank Miss Towns for organising the expedition and for helping us generally throughout the year.

E. DAVIES, C. HOOPER, AND S. LEATHER

The Gym Club. We have had this year, a gay and high-spirited Gym Club, which, as always, has been well attended.

We are all extremely grateful to Miss Thomas and Miss Walmsley, both of whom have helped us tremendously.

S. DOBREE

THE LIBRARY During the past year, the Bodington and Coulter Libraries have been increased by 206 volumes. Many were purchased from the Library Fund, but some were the gift of Old Girls and friends, all of whom we thank for the books they have so kindly sent us. The preponderance of new books has been historical and biographical, but very recently, the Art section has been given some interesting 15

additions, chiefly concerned with medieval and renaissance times.

Our thanks also go to girls in the upper forms of the school, who have, as usual, done much good work in the Libraries, including the repairing of books when necessary.

S.B. GAMES REPORT The lacrosse teams were not wholly successful this year, although they won some of their matches. The greatest enthusiasm was shown over the Company lacrosse in which there was an exciting final between Moberley and Edmund Rich, which was won

by Moberley after three lots of extra time.

A senior netball team attended the Devizes Tournament, and gained third place, thereby becoming the Reserve County Team.

Our under 14 team were once again victorious in a very close match against the Royal School for the Dr. Ede Cup. As usual, in the summer term, much interest has been shown in all activities, especially in tennis, where there has been a great increase in the number of matches played on the Senior Nestle Ladder. Most of the school also had the opportunity of playing in two additional Nestle Ladders. Emma Blades, Emma Smith (although Julia Dean was, in fact, top of the Ladder, but unable to play) and Charlotte Morgan represented the school in the knock-out tournament.

The summer fixture list has been rather short, so the tennis and swimming teams did not have much chance of showing their best form. Nevertheless, there have been several very close and exciting matches.

Some junior rounders matches were played, but the teams were not very successful, through lack of practice.

After last year's disappointing expedition to Wimbledon, when it rained all day, the Sixth Form, accompanied by Miss Walmsley and Miss Towns, were able to watch some outstanding tennis on the opening day. Earlier in the term, a visit to Bournemouth to see some matches in the Rothman Cup was much appreciated by the Lower Fifths.

All the teams would like to thank Miss Thomas and Miss Walmsley for all their patience in coaching throughout the year, and also Miss Mitchell from the Dewpool School of Lawn Tennis.

H-H

A SHORT LIFE BUT A MERRY ONE At the beginning of June I abandoned deep thought and mental stress for a fortnight, and endured the most strenuous physical exertion, beside which school during examinations would have been a rest cure. The reason for this unnatural hard work was was that I had been given a berth on the S.T.S. "Sir Winston Churchill", a three hundred ton top sail schooner, which is run by the Sail Training Association, to give young people a chance to stretch themselves to the limits of their endurance and beyond, and enjoy it.

I joined the ship at Dover. It looked very small for fifty-five people to live on for a fortnight. However, with my kitbag banging my heels, and my heart banging my ribs, I went up the gang

20

plank, to be greeted by the Chief Officer. Within half a minute he had said "Hello", found out who I was, and told me to call him "Sir". I answered "Yes" and forgot to say it. An auspicious start!

Half an hour later I was back on deck, having been shown my bunk, made it up, and changed into ship's gear of jeans, grey hair-shirt, and blue sweater with "Sir Winston Churchill" knitted across the front. Then I went on to the bridge to meet the Captain, and to sign on. There was a queue, but do not think that I stood idle. Norman (the Boatswain's Mate) had us cleaning brass with a thoroughness and intensity that would have thrilled my mother, had she seen it!

When I did see the Captain, I gave him my passport, money, and jewellery, and, with a flourish of the pen, signed away my soul for a fortnight. Before I left, the Captain asked me my religion, not, as he so charmingly pointed out that he cared, but if we died on board he liked to know which words to use as they tipped us over the side!

Then we cleaned brass for an hour or so.

Next day, without leaving our moorings, we learnt how to hoist a sail, coil a rope, answer to our surnames, and call everyone "Sir". (By the end of the cruise I found myself calling the purser and the nurse "Sir"; and my father was delighted at my respectfully filial form of address, not realizing that it was automatic and meant nothing!).

On the Tuesday we left Dover, and put all our hard-won knowledge into practice, under the command of the officers. Gradually, we learnt other things, not taught us by the officers; how to come down a ladder using the crooks of your arms, rather than your blistered hands; how to efface yourself when Norman asked for "volunteers" for some filthy job, and how to sleep at an instant's notice, wherever you were!

Several incidents stand out in my mind. The first was holystoning the deck. Norman grabbed me and two others as we emerged on deck at five to seven one morning, and informed us that we were to be initiated into the delights of holystoning. (A holy stone, for those so lucky as to be ignorant of this torture, is a large brick, made of some sort of sandstone, with which one cleans the deck). Under Norman's cheerful directions, we hosed down the deck, each other, and anyone else stupid enough to get in the way, and sprinkled it with sand. Then, on hands and knees, we pushed our holy stones up and down the deck for an hour. I said before that the ship looked rather small. From a distance, perhaps. But from a distance of eighteen inches it is absolutely vast, and seems to stretch to the horizon in every direction. The reason for the holy stone's name is (a) because of the position you have to adopt to wield it and (b) becaue, by the time you have 21

been holystoning for half an hour, you are praying for a quick and merciful death, rather than the continued agony of soaking creaking knees and aching muscles, which have been slumbering quietly since birth, judging by the fuss they make at their rude awakening. However, when the decks have dried, you take great pride in the sight, and feel, of the velvelty white boards, with not a stain to mar their beauty.

Another episode that stands out in my mind is our going up on to the upper yard for the first time. We do wear safety harnesses, but these are only of use once you are on the yard. They are of no use while you are climbing the shrouds to get there. Before we started up, the Boatswain told us that when we fell ("when", not "if"), we should cross our legs, so that we are screwed into the deck and do not make so much mess for the day workers to scrape off! This made me feel much better, to know that we were being thought of all the time, and our welfare was at the heart of all the officers!

As I climbed, I was aware of an unusual feeling in the pit of my stomach, which I tried to ignore, not from bravery, but because I could not get down, as several people were behind me.

When we reached the crows-nest, we had to climb rungs screwed to the mast. These were placed so far apart that you could not step from one to the next but had to use your knees as well. When we reached the upper yard we had to edge out along it with our feet in loops of rope that jounced alarmingly as other people stepped on them. About half way along the yard, I experienced a rising sensation that I put down at first, to the thrill of the wind and the sea, and the sky all around, but then I realized that Norman, a hearty fifteen stone, had stepped on to the rope, forcing my end right up into the air.

I did not enjoy the experience, at the time, of going up onto the upper yard, but as soon as I was safely on deck, I was longing to go back up!

All this is not to say that we did not enjoy ourselves. There was a lot of singing (a good cure for sea-sickness) and mucking about. It was not safe to sunbathe, as the chances were high that the C.O. would come along with a bucket of water to "cool you down". One time, he foolishly used a hose, which got turned on him before he could turn it off. One night we had a sing-song, with everyone singing sea shanties and well-known songs (with a few not so well-known, rendered by the Boatswain).

I made several friends, whom I hope to see again, and I enjoyed myself so much that I have been boring my friends for days with telling them, ad nauseam, every beautiful detail of the whole cruise, from how to hoist a sail to the colour of the Chief Engineer's eyes!

SALMON The early morning sun, delicate and pale, Shines through the beech and willow trees, Where the brook runs down the valley To meet the river—its destination.

Suddenly, they come, in their thousands, Coral—coloured and gold, Flicking, twisting, darting 'tween weeds and boulders, Flinging their agile bodies high above the stony banks, And flopping back to the gurgling waters, Shimmering arcs in the air, They plunge, they dive— And then, are gone again, Racing impatiently, excitedly, back to the sea, Gone, so quickly, that it might have been a dream.

VICTORIA MARMION

A SURPRISE I had a pretty cat, A little black and white, And in the wardrobe, in my room, I would find her every night.

And then one night, as usual, I went to call her out, 'Twas time for her to have some food, But I could only shout For all to come and see What I had found; For by her side Were five soft kittens— Round ears, closed eyes— Black, With small White Mittens!

NICOLA HORTON

THE WOOD AT NIGHT Silent is the wood at night, When the shadows creep, When the owls are in the trees, And animals asleepj When the birds are in their nests, And bunnies, for a treat, Go out to play in the woods at night, When the shadows creep.

23

Silent is the wood at night When the shadows creep, But when the frost bites at the ground, When the wind blows all around, When the leaves fall and flutter, When the trees moan and mutter Then the wood is never silent When the shadows creep.

A SPARROW He flew like a dart Back to his nest: The eggs were hatched, He had no time to rest.

His beady-eyed wife Sang to him, "Get more, And more, And more!"

Would they never stop eating His catches?

In any case, they did not appreciate His efforts and pains.

They just swallowed food down, No thanks, No praise!

They would learn, Their turn would come, That was his one consolation.

He sang to it, As he went to catch Some more!

CAROLINE BOUGHTON

MY TADPOLE He's just a little tadpole With a little wiggly tail.

I caught him in a duck pond, And put him in a pail.

I watched him for a minute, And then I set him free: And now, one day, my tadpole A jumping frog will be.

RUTH ANNABLE 24

THE OAK TREE They say, you were planted, at least, a century ago, Because you were recorded in a history book, But, now, look!

How tall and majestic you have grown!

How many generations you must have seen and known, O wonderful tree!

You saw the world change and life revolutionized.

You watched the wars and heard the cries, O brave tree!

You lived and flourished, year after year, But now, with reason, I shed a tear, O unfortunate tree!

The men and machines have all arrived, Ah well! At least for a century you survived, O slaughtered tree!

NICOLA MOON

KYRENIA The road winds down and over the hills To the sparkling sea in the sun, Waves dancing, sun blazing, And the sky a hazy, cloudless blue.

Sails skim and flutter over the soft Swells of the sea, the Mediterranean, Aquamarine and warm turquoise, With white shimmering sands And the pretty, exotic little harbour And its fishing boats.

The memory of all this is ever with me, And will be always constant.

AMANDA BARKER-WYATT

BLINDNESS The flowers, people say, Are all bright and gay.

They say, there's a difference Tween night and day.

But how can we see We that be Without our sight, 'Tis always night.

25

The animals say Night's better than day.

The flower people write Day's better than night.

But we cannot see, We only hear, So what we believe, Depends on our ear.

LONDON REUNION, 1971 The annual O.G.A. Sherry Party will be held on Wednesday, 20th January, 1971, at The Public School Club, 100 Piccadilly, London, from 6 to 8 p.m. Old Girls are welcome to bring guests.

The cost will be 8/6 per head (students 5/-). If you do not receive an invitation from your Group Secretary, please send your acceptance by January 16th to Miss A. Fisher, 15 Petersham House, Harrington Road, London, S.W.7.

OLD GIRLS' REUNION, 1970 We all enjoy a break from routine at times, and it was with a delightful feeling of irresponsibility that I abandoned husband and children to their own devices, and set out for Calne and the May Reunion. I even had an alibi—a nine-year-old daughter, who wanted to know all about the school I seemed so eager for her to go to—and there was obviously only one way to give her an up to date account!

I went with a friend, for moral support, and as we drove through the gate our first thought was that nothing had changed; it all looked exactly as we remembered it. There were the familar buildings and the familiar faces, our contemporaries a little older perhaps, but members of staff surely looking younger than we remembered them, and miraculously seeming to know who everyone was. It wasn't until we looked out of the Hall windows that we appreciated the enormous growth that has taken place.

With many others we set out to explore and admire the new 28

buildings, and to exclaim at the new residential block, which must surely be a delightful place to live in. The whole school shone with polish, flowers, and a friendly welcome, the grounds looked lovelier than ever, and we spent the rest of the afternoon happily indulging in nostalgia.

At supper time an enchantingly decorated buffet table awaited us, spread with gorgeous food. There, too, were our hostesses, the current inhabitants, no less enchantingly decorated in exceedingly trendy wear. High boots, long skirts, gypsy blouses, all combined to make a very gay picture. We met again on Sunday morning at Chapel in the Hall, past and present generations, both remembering and looking ahead. It was then that one could appreciate the strength of a school that can remain so unchanged, yet be so lively and up to date.

Altogether it was a very happy weekend, and how grateful we were to Miss Gibbins, the staff, and the girls, for giving us such a splendid time. I'm sure we all went back to our families very much refreshed by a brief return to the academic atmosphere, and already thinking up an excuse for another visit.

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

July llth, 1970.

My dear Old Girls, We broke up yesterday and I spent some time last night reading your news, so patiently and so well put together by Miss Thouless. This is a very good way of keeping in touch and we do love to have your news on the O.G.A. postcards.

It is, of course, better still to see you, and this school year has been an exceptionally good year for that. The Dorchester Ball really was tremendous fun and wonderfully organized. I was very sorry indeed not to get to the Sherry Party in January, but I had, most unusually for me, a very heavy cold and would only have shed germs! We had a very happy Reunion at Calne at the end of May. It was mainly fine but could have been warmer. And quite apart from the great pleasure of seeing you and having so many generations represented, it made a wonderfully relaxed and pleasant send off to so many of your hostesses who were starting 'A' and 'O' levels on the following Monday. I am sure it helped them a great deal.

I believe that you will be as thrilled as I am that the Governors, last Saturday, decided that we would be justified to instruct our Architect to go ahead with detailed plans for the Chapel. This means that we could go to tender in the spring of 1971.

29

The plans and sketch we already have for the Chapel are most exciting. It is not going to be luxurious. It will give us, I believe, what we really need. The present Chapel, which you love, and we love, too, is desperately overcrowded, even with only half the school there. This Chapel will hold everyone. Sliding doors will lead into an open-plan common room-cum-passage, so we can always fit in extra people. In this materialistic age, I am convinced that we need a proper, adaptable setting for thought and experience in fundamental things.

The total cost of the Chapel, furnishings, and passage if we can build next year—and this is the point, as costs rise so quickly-— is estimated at £35,000. Towards this we have in prospect (including the interest on building fund money) £28,000. Most of this is in hand and ready for use but some money still has to come in from subscriptions under covenant.

This is not a begging letter—£7,000 should see us home and if you can help any more, we know you will do so. The £1,100 from the Ball was a tremendous booster!

I could write a very great deal more but I must not put up the cost of News Sheet printing too sharply. Many people, however, will be interested and pleased to hear that Miss Stedmond is having a term off in New Zealand. We much look forward to having an American colleague to replace her in the autumn—and, we hope, to stay on for a year or so. As you know, we are tremendously blessed by all our staff. We are fortunate to have so few changes; only two of the academic staff are leaving this term. This gives great stability.

And, love and all best wishes to you all, Yours ever, ELIZABETH M. GIBBINS

LETTER FROM O.G.A. CHAIRMAN Hiltons, 41 Golf Links Road, Ferndown, Dorset.

July, 1970 My dear Old Girls, You will no doubt by now have read of the success of our London Ball both socially and financially. I am fully aware of the wonderful generosity of so many of our Old Girls, but we dare not rest on our laurels yet!

We are therefore exploring in 1971 the possibilities of organising a Concert in London with perhaps a Buffet Supper after it, I hope to give fuller details with the March Notices.

30

We shall certainly be working for another Ball in Centenary Year, but by that time we hope to be in a position to consider using our profits to help towards the education of Old Girls' children in the future.

To get results we need your help even more than ever. I cannot say enough in praise of our Group Secretaries and of all the work they do to keep the O.G.A. ticking; but we do need the cooperation of everyone even if it is only in acknowledging the various notices you receive or keeping us informed of your changes of address. Your letters and suggestions are of inestimable help and encouragement and I would welcome particularly at this time any ideas you may have on our proposed concert.

Some of you may be interested to know that Lady Associate Membership to the Public Schools Club, 100 Piccadilly, is now open to members of the O.G.A. and for ÂŁ3 3s. Od. a year one can enjoy full club facilities in this very central position in London.

Overnight accommodation is available as is lunch, tea and dinner, as well as drawing rooms and changing rooms for members and their guests.

We have decided to hold our next Reunion at the Public Schools Club in January when you can see the Club for yourselves. We hope this reunion will be more of a party so please make a note of the date, January 20th and bring your husbands and friends.

As usual we had a very happy Summer Reunion at Calne, and our thanks go out to Miss Gibbins and the Staff and School for their unfailing hospitality.

Later this year we are hoping to have Regional Reunions in the Cotswolds (organised by Gladys Beale, The Yews, Minchinhampton, Glos.) and in the Winchester-Salibury-Bburnemouth Area here at Ferndown; if any of you would like an invitation to one or other of these gatherings please get in touch with either Gladys or myself as soon as you read this.

Yours ever, SUSAN ROTHERHAM
