StrJu* Clristiory,

Jltveyyrent In first term, 18 new members were in- ducted in a short service given bv Professor Gilman. Later in that term crowds were drawn to listen and sing along with Brother \Williarn. The Seoetary of S.C.M. in Queensland held a camp in Tallebudgera, during which speakers urged us to give our opinion of Youth and the Church. S7e had three girls representing us there. St. Margaret's invited five girls to a dis- cussion where Father Ian Freshw atet entertained us with tales but also interested us with new opinions. Several weeks later "Churchie" invited us to an evening entitled "\What is the Purpose of Life ? " There were competent speakers who gave us food for thought, but most of us came away confused. Mrs. Fallon, who had been with us during L96B and 1969, \Ment to America at the end of Second Term, and Miss Lane is going to take charge of the S.C.M. To the new President next yeat I wish Good Luck.

This yeffi has seen greatly iqcreased interest and success in deb ating. This, we feel, is owing to Mrs. Blumsen's enthusiasm and her invaluable help which we all appreciated greatly. \7e had several teams involved in the various com- petitions, Apex and Queensland Debating Union. Susan Byth, Adele \Testerman and Cecily Greaves excelled themselves in the Q.D.U. impromptu competition to win the Allan Fletcher trophy. Several teams reached their zone finals while Avryl Faragher, Jennifer McCamley and Liane Lockwood reached the semi-finals of the Q.D.U. school competition, The debating yeff will end with the interhouse finals : Lilley v. Gibson in the Senior House and Gibson v. Griffith in the Junior.
