Our first ski lesson with our "gorgeous" ski instructors Josef and Flans was absolutely excrucia- ting. Roslyn Watt and Sue Halsey liked each other so much that when they ATTEMPTED to ski down the slopes they always landed in a huddle at the bottom. Affer only a short time Bill became so frustrated with trying to pick people up off the snow that he went away to ski by himself.

By Wednesday there were quite a few "pro- fessionals" on the ski slopes-Freda and Bill, Susan Nicholson, Jane Allen, Penny Dodds, and Anne -Belcher (she did do a bit of ski-ing when she wasn't in the shower. There's one thing that we can say about Anne, she is clean), Robyn Gustavson, Alison McKenzie, Tracy Alexandra, Jenny Pedley and Nicky Chyroweth. As for Roslyn Watt, (who spent more time in the snow than on it), Sue Halsey, Narelle Wade, (when she wasn't having piggy-back rides with Hans) and Jenny Dodds (who got sick every- time she looked at a ski) Bill and Freda had to strap them to their beds to keep them off the slopes the risk was too great!

Monday night we were invited over to the lodge, where Brisbane Boys' College were staying, to play cards. After three hours of card playing we were informed that it was time for bed, told to say goodnight to the nice boys and so off home we went with Grandma and Grandpa who tucked us into our nice warm beds. On Tuesday we had our second ski lesson. Some of us were improving but others still had a long way to go. We really think that Josef and Hans had begun to turn grey at the temples after this lesson. Tuesday night, (now I know you will find this hard to believe!) we had afancy hatpartywhichwas won by Tracy Alexander who went as an eastern bunny. Second prize was won by Anne Belcher who went as a coke can. Mr. and Mrs. Salzman won the booby pize going as "rock and rol1" and "sock-it-to-me"
