ST. MARY'S SCHOOL, CALNE NEWS SHEET NUMBER 56

OCTOBER 1971

EDITORIAL Looking back over the year there seems to have been many small changes in the school. One of the most obvious is the change in the company system. The company staff are now known as tutors and each girl in the school has a tutor who takes a particular interest in her and is willing to advise her, especially over 'O' and 'A' levels. On Ascension Day we had company outings to Berkeley Castle, Winchester, Stourhead, Wilton House and Sudely Castle.

These all proved to be a great success, especially as the weather was so fine.

Throughout the year we have all gained new interests to fill our free time. There is now a new pottery room and we are lucky in having an electric wheel which has been most popular. The Junior Animal Society has thrived and now there are numerous small pets including hamsters, guinea pigs, mice and rabbits. While the juniors have been looking after their pets and making pots, the ^ixth forms have been fortunate enough to enjoy fencing lessons once a week.

This year, June proved to be a very wet and cold month, which was a blessing for those involved in the usual examinations. The sixth forms are now allowed to work in New House in the evenings and this privilege has been greatly appreciated.

At the beginning of this term we watched the laying of the foundations of the new chapel, for which we have been looking forward for so long. After many parents, friends and Old Girls had given so generously to the chapel, it was decided that the school should raise some money for its furnishing. On Founder's Day we had a "Country Fair" and succeeded in making ÂŁ679 despite the rain which meant that the stalls had to be inside.

THE GOVERNORS — JULY, 1971 Sir Edmund Compton, G.G.B., K.B.E. (Chairman) Lady Brooke of Cumnor, D.B.E. R. T. Henly, Esq. Miss G. Kirby, M.V.O. S. Lloyd, Esq. (Chairman, Finance Committee) A. A. Martineau, Esq. Mrs. M. W. McCrum O. N. Millar, Esq., c.v.o.

The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Salisbury Mrs. G. A. Wilkinson The Reverend Canon G. A. Witcomb We must start by congratulating our Chairman on his highly deserved G.C.B. and at the same time would like to thank him more than ever for the time, patience, and wise judgment he gives to our affairs.

Then a very warm thank you to all our Governors who give us so much interest, support and kindness. Particularly this time we want to thank Mr. West who retired from the Governing Body this summer after seventeen years' service. He has not only helped us over financial and insurance matters but as a member of the Garden Committee he has taken a tremendously personal interest in the grounds. Almost all the tree planting we have done has been generously inspired by him, most valuable of all perhaps the transforming of the dreary old quarry into a place of beauty.

We are very glad to welcome as a Governor, Mr. Henly, who has two children at the school and is known to many of us already.

He has become a member of the Garden Committee, and we have already benefited from his local knowledge.

E.M.G. STAFF AUTUMN TERM, 1970. We welcomed Miss Ferguson (Classics), Miss Lucette (Piano) and Miss Whiting (History).

We were sorry to say goodbye to Miss Simpson (Assistant Cook).

SPRING TERM, 1971. We welcomed Miss Miles (Assistant Housekeeper).

SUMMER TERM, 1971. We were sorry to say goodbye to Miss Caine (German), Miss Evans (Music), Miss Ferguson (Classics), Mademoiselle Loustau (French), Miss Towns (Biology), Mr. Tredwell (Mathematics) and Mrs. Tredwell (St. Margaret's).

This year the school has been privileged to hear a number of celebrated artists giving very varied concerts. It was a delight to hear Catherine Still giving a recital of a high standard, and Miss Nesbitt was no doubt impressed by her former pupil.

Christopher Bochmann's piece, written for our first orchestra and conducted by him in the Music Festival provided an interest10

again, shattering the peace of autumn with battle cries and tin thunder. The results of this apparent pandemonium were mostly exciting productions, though some, despite many rehearsals, were still lacking in polish. However, in nearly all these plays, the prompter became redundant, so well did the casts know their parts.

The winners of the cup, Upper V East, gave an intelligent interpretation of Julius Caesar—the crowd scene in particular was original and well-organised. The second cup was awarded to the Sixth Form with their production of King Lear.

It is very lucky for us to be so close to Salisbury, with its excellent repertory company. This year we have been able, through the kind organisation of Miss Nesbitt, to visit the Salisbury Playhouse and see Tchekov's The Cherry Orchard in which its strange mood was captured by the actors with sympathy and understanding. We were also able to go to Devizes to see Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood, which was, despite a limited cast and properties, mcst successfully performed.

The Spring Term brought with it Company Plays, and the multitudinous problems that invariably accompany them. The Magistrate, performed by Grossetete and Poore, with Anne Bosset and Emma Kyrle-Pope as producers, was very amusing, and, contrary to the producers' gloomy forecast, good entertainment. The jollifications, afterwards, left a treacly floor for Moberly and Edmund Rich's The Rose without a Thorn, the sad story of Henry VIII's fifth wife, Katherine Howard, the part being acted with sincerity by Philippa Forwood. This play was marked by superb Tudor costumes made out of, apparently, nothing by Jennie Wimperis and Jennie Osmond and their assistants. Sophie Hamilton and Mary Trinick, the producers, had studied the Tudor period, in some depth, as part of their 'A' level history course and their knowledge was reflected in the handling of the play.

Osmund, with Charlotte Morgan and Melissa Richardson as producers, presented The Shop at Sly Corner, providing both terror and amusement for the audience. Miranda Hearn was especially good in her part of the loving father and ruthless murderer.

Altogether, as might be expected, the year has given us plays of varying merit. We hope that next year may bring not only good productions, but also some of originality, perhaps employing new techniques.

1971

Miss Stedmond on New Zealand.

Lady Hoare on Thalidomide Babies.

Captain Griffiths on The Winston Churchill.

Dr. Cole-King on Nutritional Problems in Malawi.

Mr. W. M. Tullberg on The history and work of the Calne Factory of C. & T. Harris Ltd. The Revd. P. Grubb on The Samaritans.

Diocesan Conference at Dinton.

Commonwealth Institute Conference at Marlborough.

Mr. J. Sampson Lloyd on the new chapel.

Mr. Oliver Millar on the Art of the Reign of Charles I. We have been particularly fortunate this year in having been given so many interesting lectures on such varied subjects.

Three of our governors have very kindly spared the time to come and give us lectures, and Mr. Millar has come a second time to talk to us about pictures—on this occasion, about art in England during the reigns of the Stuarts, his remarks being illustrated by many striking slides. Lady Brooke's lecture on the House of Lords and Miss Kirby's on nursing and Great Ormond Street Hospital were both most interesting and informative about the opportunities now available to women.

In March, Lady Hoare came to talk to us about Thalidomide Babies, and the problems arising in their families. It is encouraging to note that the next collection for this cause was considerably higher than that for any other during the term.

Captain Griffiths, from the Sail Training Association, also came in the Spring Term to tell us about the Winston Churchill, its aims ajid achievements. It was a most amusing talk, illustrated by some lively anecdotes, and there were very good slides. As two people from the school have already been on this ship, and two more hope to go, this autumn, the lecture was of special interest to us all.

Miss Stedmond, who has been to New Zealand for six months, showed us some lovely slides of her visit. Dr. Cole-King speaking on the problems of nutrition in Malawi also had most interesting slides, as did the lecturer from the Australian High Commission.

The school's new projector has certainly been put to full use this year!

As 1970 was the bi-centenary of Harris's, it was suggested that some members of the school should enter a competition sponsored by the company and, with this in mind, Harris's sent a representative, who talked about the factory and its history.

Quite recently, the Rev. P. Grubb, who is concerned with the Samaritans, came to talk about this organisation. We have also had lectures on social work, of a more local nature, from Mrs. Maurice 13

and Mrs. Rivett, both of whom are directly involved in the social problems of the area round Calne.

Besides these lectures, which we have all enjoyed, various members of the Upper Sixth and Sixth Forms have been able to attend conferences: one, at Marlborough, with "Communities" as its theme; and one, an interdenominational conference, at Dinton Hall, the subject for discussion being, "What is Man?" Now that the building of the new chapel is actually in progress, it is, naturally, very much in our thoughts; and Mr. Lloyd, the architect, very kindly came to talk to us about it at the beginning of term. We discussed with him our attitudes towards it and our views on how it should be used. It seems appropriate that it should be our new chapel that should bring us all together to discuss our ideas in this way, and it is hoped that in its use, we shall all find stimulus and encouragement for the future.

SENIOR SOCIETIES The Senior Societies got off to quite an active start at the beginning of this year, and there were many meetings in the autumn term. The Political and Current Affairs Society had several heated debates on controversial subjects, including an interesting one on the benefits of euthanasia.

The Play-reading Society gave a lively performance of The Amorous Prawn, which seemed to be enjoyed by most people.

Since the autumn term, however, pressure of work has caused a slackening off of society meetings. Nevertheless, there is always the possibility of founding new societies which would bring a change of ideas, and, perhaps, an alteration in the type of society would renew enthusiasm. I leave the new heads of societies with this thought in mind.

JUNIOR SOCIETIES Musical Society. The Junior Musical Society has had yet another successful year. We have had several meetings, and an outing to hear the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, which everyone enjoyed very much indeed. For many it was the first time that they had gone to hear and see a professional orchestra. The orchestra was marvellous and encouraged many people's enthusiasm.

Later in the year, some of the Lower Vth members of the Society were lucky enough to hear either the Amadeus String Quartet or the new Philharmonic Orchestra play during the Bath Festival.

Both these concerts were quite incredible and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Once again, we thank Miss Nesbitt, who, as usual, has helped with, and organised, our activities.

The Bird and Animal Society. At the beginning of the year, the Bird and Animal Society started off well, with lively, well-patronised meetings, in which we had some interesting competitions, including jumping bean races. Towards the end of the term, however, the meetings were not so popular and this led to the fact that there was less activity during the spring term.

During the summer, however, we have had two outings. The first was owed from last year and was to Rode Bird Gardens, near Bath. We spent a very happy afternoon there, photographing the birds, and being amused by the tame macaws. We were very interested too by a mynah bird who had a wide vocabulary!

The other outing was to the Cotswold Wildlife Park, near Burford, Oxfordshire. In spite of the fact that it poured the entire afternoon, we very much enjoyed the expedition. Luckily, there was an indoor reptilary containing snakes, frogs, lizards and crocodiles and an aquarium with beautiful tropical sea fish. Apart from this, the people who did brave the weather, found a walled garden containing many interesting animals such as otters, coatimundis, tortoises and tropical birds. The park also had many separate enclosures, which contained wallabies, deer and cranes.

Altogether the outings were great fun and the Bird and Animal Society is finishing the year with a drawing competition, which has had some enthusiastic entries.

Gym Club. This year the Gym Club began with considerable enthusiasm and has been well-supported and enjoyed by all participants.

Everyone concerned is most grateful to Miss Thomas and Miss Walmsley for giving us of their time and helping us so much.

THE LIBRARY This year, the Bodington and Coulter Libraries have received some most interesting new books, some of which have been presented by Old Girls and friends, to all of whom we are most grateful for such kind and acceptable gifts.

Among the latter, were a number of Russian novels and poems in their original language, so that the Russian section of the Coulter Library now offers an increased attraction to the student. The German section has also gained by the addition of plays in their original tongue.

15

In the Bodington Library, a completely new section has been begun with some books on needlework and the art of dress-making, books which are not only fascinating, but also authoritative.

The libraries have, in the course of the year, acquired 192 new books. The number is a little below that of last year, but includes many expensive works.

In conclusion, we thank those members of the senior school who have helped in the libraries since September, 1970.

S.B. GAMES REPORT Although the teams were not always successful in actually winning matches, the general standard of play, particularly in lacrosse, improved greatly and people played enthusiastically.

Elizabeth Bowen-Golthurst, Lucinda King, Lavinia Norman, Sabrina Ashford-Russell and Jacqueline Higginson are congratulated on having been selected to play in the 2nd Wiltshire County Netball team. They enjoyed playing in this team very much and were successful in most of their matches.

A great many lacrosse matches were played during the year, which was possible, because of the fine weather during the autumn season. Moberly won the Company Lacrosse Shield, and all the teams were vigorously supported. The 1st XII played in the Merton Tournament on the last day of the spring term, coming third in their section.

The tennis teams have not been able to play many matches, but people were enthusiastic and enjoyed playing. The U14 VI are congratulated on winning all their matches. Sarah Willway, Amanda Hailes and Susan Ingham won the Nestle Tournament in the summer and are wished the best of luck in their future matches.

Owing to bad weather and other difficulties, there have not been any swimming matches this year, but people enjoyed swimming in games time when the weather permitted.

The UVIth and some of the LVIth have been able to begin fencing in the spring and summer terms. This has been greatly enjoyed and has been so successful that it is being continued in the autumn. Mr. Pound has been an excellent and encouraging teacher.

We are grateful to Miss Thomas and Miss Walmsley for all their help and patience throughout the year. Tennis coaching with Miss Mitchell has also been much appreciated.

A HOLIDAY IN NEW ZEALAND When, at the end of last summer term, I set off to join my ship at Tilbury, I knew that this was to be for me the journey of a lifetime. I have to thank the Governors and Miss Gibbins for making it possible for me to go—and, indirectly, my brother, whose evident delight at living in New Zealand had for many years made me long to see the country for myself.

Every place on this round-the-world route had some historical connection which brought alive for me many of the topics which come up in lessons. The seas we sailed had taken explorers from Vasco da Gama to Cook to the ends of the earth. The Kraals in Natal and the old Dutch-style farm houses of the Cape reflected the conflicts of South Africa. The sugar plantations of Barbados and the coastline of Botany Bay were reminders of unhappy slaves and convicts. In New Zealand itself, many place names were those given by Captain Cook himself, and both here and in Australia celebrations were marking the anniversary of his discoveries.

Some readers will remember Mrs. Peter Godfrey of Marlborough, who taught chemistry, and Mrs. Rubery (Miss Biddulph), who taught geography. Both are happily settled in New Zealand and gave me a wonderful welcome. With Mrs. Rubery, I was able to visit the Maori school where she teaches. There, I heard the seniors perform their action songs with lovely sonorous harmony and rhythmic movements blending together. We also went to see a Maori church, meeting house and museum, all displaying wonderful craftsmanship in carving, weaving and other decorative arts.

All this was fascinating, but even so the chief delight of the \vhole memorable holiday lay for me in the spectacular scenery 20

and unfamiliar plants and trees which make New Zealand one of the most attractive and unspoiled countries in the world.

K.S. THE COUNTRY FAIR As our governors and friends had been so generous to the chapel fund, we thought it was our turn to earn a little, and what day more fitting than Founders' Day, June 26th ?

Founders' Day dawned grey for the first time in years. A call to Lyneham weather station was not encouraging, and so the stalls were put up in the dining room, where they looked extremely tempting. Everything prepared, at a quarter to three, the fair was opened by Mrs. Shorten, the wife of the Vicar of Preshute, unfortunately, without the long-awaited fanfare which was to have been played had it been sunny.

Mainly thanks to the tremendous generosity of friends of the school in giving so many attractive items for sale, the money rolled into the stalls, Miss Nesbitt's bottle stall proving particularly popular.

The raffles were a great success, and Miss Gibbs' cuddly teddy bears drew the crowds!

The forms' side shows were amusing, and galloping ponies, merry gipsy girls and self-blackened boot blacks managed to create a gay atmosphere despite the drizzle. We were glad to see the fathers had not forgotten their old university days in supporting Oxford or Cambridge and thus raising a large amount of money.

Delicious teas were served, and much appreciated by all, as also was the music provided during the afternoon by the first orchestra under the guidance of Mr. Bochmann.

At the end of a happy day it was discovered that almost ÂŁ680 had been raised to go towards the furnishings of the new chapel.

LUCY ADAMS, EMMA SMITH

FREEDOM The sun is shining high above Across the meadows green, The brooklets sparkle on their way, Who knows where they have been ?

Small children playing in the wood Their laughter sounds so gay, Their innocent voices carry far, All in the month of May. 21

They know not of the sorrows That dwell across the sea, Of children near to starving, That men are not all free.

So merry until sunset, They frolic in the sun, Then back they go to happy homes And warm beds, every one.

HARRIET ADAMS

BACK-STREET MAN He used to sit in the old back room : Death would come upon him soon.

His old, grey head bent to the ground, And he sat there, uttering not a sound.

He had been a drunkard, not known what he said, His eyes were sunken, bloodshot, red.

The dog would avoid him, and cower away, For a bully he'd been in his younger day.

His clothes were rags—he had had none new For many a year. "Wot's it matter to you?"

He would say to us, in his raucous voice, "I never 'ad nuthin' worth calling noice !"

His skin was white, his lips were blue, But what does it matter to me, or you ?

He's gone to his grave, and no one cried, When the man of the back streets lay down and died.

CLARE SKINNER

THE FARM The cows in the meadow, Lying chewing the cud; The horses out to graze, The calves in the cow shed, The hens in the yard, The ducks waddling round in the mud, And even the watch dog, Asleep on guard— All now enjoy the summer day, Bask in the sun, Or frisk and play.

THE NEW CHAPEL At first the plans were drawn, And marks were made upon the lawn.

Planning permission had been granted For a chapel to be where trees were planted

By Founders' Day, 1971, The new chapel building had begun.

RICHENDA HENLY

MIRAGE A stretch of sand Lay all around, No water to be seen— Only tracks where men had been.

Wearily, I stumbled on, Further, yet further, And all I saw Was sand Covering that desolate land.

Suddenly, I water saw.

I staggered on Towards it, And then stretched out my hand, Alas!

It was only sand.

RACHEL DAIN

NIGHT ON THE MOORS An occasional owl-cry from far away, The waves of the lake lapping its shores, And the leaves rustling in the light wind, Are the only sounds, at night, on the moors.

The moon shines down on the empty roads, Its reflection gleams in the silent lake, And the moors are dark, eerie, and frightening, Until, in the morning the world will awake.

As morning approaches a swallow flies over, In the east the horizon glows red, The lake water turns a rose-tinted blue, And all the shadows of night are fled.

MY DREAMS In my dreams, I dream of pretty things, Fairy castles and fairy kings, Fairy icing on fairy cakes.

I dream of pretty things.

In my dreams, I dream of ugly things, Witches and goblins, trolls and schwarts, Wizards casting spells on thoughts, I dream of ugly things.

My dreams are Oh ! such curious things, Each thing through my mind still rings In my bed and on my feet.

I dream of Oh ! such curious things.

NICOLA SWALLOW

We tried to think of a title, But however hard we tried The things we thought were quite absurd, So we never could decide.

We lay there all one afternoon, We thought of many things— Of roses, trees and buttercups, And necklaces and rings.

These titles—they all seemed quite wrong, It brought us near to tears, We were afraid we would be there For years and years and years !

This poem has no title, And that's what's all the fuss, So if you have a good one, Please send it on to us.

GORINNA WAKE-WALKER, CHRISTIAN ROOMF,

THE KINGFISHER One day I went to walk Along a country lane, Then, through a field I took my course And to a river came.

24

I looked into the water And saw fish swimming there, Above them perched a kingfisher Eying their bodies fair.

Suddenly, the swift bird swooped Into the water clear.

Then up it flew with a fish so small, Its body quivering with fear.

"Stop !" I shouted out aloud.

"Poor fish, just think of him !"

The bird then flew away—and dropped The fish just at the water's rim.

St. Mary's School, Galne, Wiltshire.

September 1st, 1971.

My dear Old Girls, As always, the main point of this letter is to send you our warmest greetings and good wishes. We have the great pleasure of seeing a good many of you often. We are necessarily in touch with some people less frequently, but I do want you to know that we do realise how involved and busy life is, and that we are always very glad to hear from you or see you, and to be of use, if we can be so.

I wrote a good deal about the Chapel in last year's letter. You'll be glad to hear that it has not only started but will be consecrated on February 19th, 1972. The detail is not complete yet, but put that afternoon in your diary and there will be a Press announcement of detail nearer the time. And by the way, many thanks to those of you who have offered to embroider hassocks. I am sorry not to have written personally about these. We have kept your letters and will write as soon as the design is complete.

Old Girls nearly always ask "How is St. Mary's?" The answer is partly in the earlier pages of the News Sheet. We are proud that 27

we are able to maintain good and varied teaching and to help girls to get their very necessary qualifications. We review life at school quite a lot, and though many old traditions and happenings continue, there is, and should be, change. At this time of year I get letters from girls who have just left, and I have been most cheered by the fact that so many of them mention the friendships they have made as the most valuable gain from their school life. I know that many of you have the same experience. I am sure that it comes particularly to those who stay on, as most of ours do, for the full time in the Sixth Form, so that when they leave they already know each other as adults.

Susan Rotherham has written a much too kind letter about the fact that I have decided that I ought to retire next summer or as soon afterwards as suits my successor. I am sure that this is a right decision—we are in for a lot of change in education—much of it good-—and I am sure whoever is to deal with it ought to be in the saddle soon. This is a propitious time, too, because, with no exaggeration or sentimentality, we have such splendid backers in our old girls, parents, and staff. I know what a help everyone was to me when I came to St. Mary's in 1946, and I am confident that this support will again be given by you all. There is a great deal more I could say, but I will not say it now except that I enormously appreciate that I have been entrusted with this most valuable school for so long. I thank you more than I can say for all your friendship and help, and often, I know, most kind and forgiving forbearance!

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

Hiltons, 41 Golf Links Road, Ferndown Dorset.

August, 1971 My dear Old Girls, It is sad indeed to know that Miss G has decided to retire next summer.

We, the Old Girls, many of us now not only her Old Girls but parents of her Old Girls will miss her very much. She never fails to make us feel that we are part of the present school. Whenever we visit Calne, however inconvenient a time we may choose to call, we, our husbands, our babies and even at times our dogs are made welcome.

Our Summer Reunions at Calne are always happy events, and although on occasions we must have disrupted the smooth running of those vital pre-exams weeks, Miss G, and through her the Staff and School, have, by their genuine hospitality helped us to keep 28

alive our memories of the past, but more especially involved us with the present and for this above all we are grateful.

Miss G associates herself with our joys and sorrows and her interest in all our doings whoever we are or wherever we are is appreciated by all generations of Old Girls and we do thank her for her integrity and kindness to us in so many ways.

Whoever may come to the School in the future, whether headmistress, staff or pupil, must benefit from the bond between past and present which Miss G has maintained so strongly through the years; and as a result I believe that St. Mary's will be upheld and strengthened always by the loyal and loving support of her Old Girls.

Yours sincerely, SUSAN ROTHERHAM
