BRISBANE GIRLS' GRAMMAR SCHOOL MAGAZINEB.

However, our welcome in February will be a warm one. Even the coming of the hot weather causes no abatement of enthustiam in eports. Ten- kib, baeket 'bll, and swimming are still .s papular as ever. On the 18th August vhe School Sporte were held very successful y on the Boys' Turf, the proceeds earlathng ou. ports' Improvement Vlea. Inter-school orts were held in the hbltilon Grounds on September 3rd. After a very baud 4ght, hobwever, the High Iehool carried of the cup. We heartily congratulate thu! Of course, from our point of view at least, the result was disappointing, but everybody went home with the intention t lhtilnag still harder next year. In other things beside lessons we find to our sorrow, ............... "Nil sine magno Vita labore dedit mortaliaue." D. H. ments:-Dtris Waraker to Lieut. David Broughton, M.C.; Ethel Jones to Mr. C.

Miss Watson has been with us only a short time, but It is quite long enough tor everyone to miss her very much when she goes away. We all wish her happiness in her new life. We have been looking forward very anxiously to Misa Lyons' return next month, and It was a great disappointment to find that the holidays came before her ship was due. On August 27th, the O.G.A. held their annual jumble party and dance, when about 130 gubsts were present. The prizes donated by Miss K.

The Sixth Form girls were also the guests of the O.G.A.. Miss Mackay presented the prises at supper. The annual river trip on Nov. 6th was the usual success. The O.G.A. were very pleased to have the Boarders and some of the Sixth Form girls with them.
