and will be used to furnish our new recreation room. The sixth formers have had many pleasant outings on their own. \7e were shown over International House by Mr. and Mrs. Cribb, and this proved an incentive for many of us to further our education. Other outings v/ere to see the film of the ballet - "ftsmss and Juliet" and also "Guess \fho's Coming to Dinner". The boarders may make up a small propor- tion of the school, but they showed their athletic ability by contributing a large number of girls to the school athletics team. In spite of the fact that few boarders managed to narrowly defeat the day school in the Boarders v. Day Girls relay. Early this year we were unfottunate to lose Miss Addison, who had been our matron for many years, and we express our sympathy with her telatives. Miss Drummond kindly consented to fill the position for some weeks, until Miss Cousin, the present matron, to whom we extend a welcome, took over the responsibility. Anothet change in staff was when Miss Hatton entered the Boarding School aftet Miss Johnson left towards the end of second term. The Boarders welcomed Miss Jones, who was a new mistress at the beginning of the year; v/e vrould like to wish Miss Jones and Miss Jull, who are leaving at the end of the year, the best of luck in the future. \7e wish Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Catt, and all resident staff members a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and thank them for their help during 1968. _r.w.c.

L968 has been a happy year for the boarders, and now that it is once more time to write the Boarders' Notes, there is a lot to lsmgrn[s1 - dances, picnics, swimming and athletics. In first term, \t'e were honoured to receive a visit from the new Dean of St. John's Cathedral, the Reverend C. Muschamp. After giving a short talk on his former position as Bishop of Kal- goorlie, the Dean was taken on a tour of the school. I Among the social activities, the boarders attended one dance at C.E.G.S., and held three in our gymnasium with various boys' schools. \ile also went to a film evening and a concert at the Boys Grammar School. At the end of second t.r*, ih. sixth form boarders were very excited at the prospect of the approaching sixth form dance, which was one of the most successful dances ever held. These functions are very popu- lat, and we sincerely thank Mrs. Catt and Miss \Thittaker for their work for the pre-formal paty as well as fot the sevetal other dances of the year. Moogera Dam was the chosen site for the Boarders Picnic this year. The v/eather was ideal, and after a barbecue lunch we relaxed or went for walks around the Dam. Later in the after- noon a local historian, Mr. Kraus, talked to us about some of the foremost pioneers in the area, telling us interesting stories about their lives. The boarders stall in third term consisted of articles made by the gids and their parents, and raised a large sum of money. Together with the proceeds from the last boarders stall, the money earned this year at School Day now totals $697
