1971 School Magazine

O**[r*'tr^ Jl*u, This year has been a successful one for the orchestra. To begin our musical year, we presented a lunch-hour conclrt at which the Senior Ensemble played an attractive Andante and Gavotte-b-y Puccini' h tuncir hour concert was given by Miss Una Murray (pianist) and Miss Cormack (violin). Later in the year, ihe orchestra provided the overture music to an annual concert ind a special 1890's Evening. Several of our members combined with the B.G.S' Orchestra to present several short items in a Choral and Orcliestral evening early in 3rd term, and on School Duy, tt opened the affernoon concert with mu,sic by Schubert ind Grieg. The rapidly growing Junior .nremUl. also preseited a charming suite by Diabelli' With Speech Night drawing nearer' and practices continuing, we would all like to extend our thanks to Miss Corffack who has helped and encouraged us throughout this busY Year.

Snrp*rt t 971 Inquiry into the State of Pollution and Environ- mental Conservation by Thoughtful Feople. Inspect '71 began this year as a nation-wide movement among secondary students, following a higlrly successful campaign in Canberra during i969. The ultimate aim of the programme is to eradicate pollution in Australia, but in the meantime groups of students are carrying out surveys and researching into the actual state of pollution in Australia. By this, definite facts are becoming known and available and thus are educating students and other interested people and it is hoped, governing bodies. Areas surveyed by Brisbane students have covered Transport and City Design, Air Pollution, Power Generation and Pollution, Coastal and River Environ- ments, with our own school investigating litter and recycling; papers on all topics were presented at the Inspect '71 Teach-In held at B.G.S. on 4th June- Students interest within the school was very pleasing and we had a wonderful response to a highly successful Clean-Up along Gregory Terrace one Saturday morning. I hope that such a response will continue and that all future Inspect programmes- next year's will begin early in first term-will be carried out with even greater success.
