5ts's cake competition was weltr patronized and Mrs. Middleton has so far shown no ill effects from the judging. This Form also had roving popcorn sellers. School Day also had its share of more general stalls. 48 divided their efforts and interests into four small stalls, and their colourfully striped cake boxes were a prominent feature of the day. T'wo especially well decorated general stalls belonged to 4D and 3C. 4D's "Space Odyssey" featured a silk parachute suspended from the ceiling and walls covered with alfoil. 3C's stall called the "Old tsod" had huge painted faces for entrances and all manner of goods on sa1e. The jeanery run by the members of 2C was well patronized despite the fact that the dressing screen quite often collapsed, revealing a rather embarrassed customer. tsut there were also many things to do. 4C arranged a side-show alley which included Guess-the- Staff baby pictures, knock 'ems and slosh 'ems. With a merry-go-round, 5A provided excitement for the young and not-so-young, while the members of 2D organized a Fick-a-Eox stall. 28 added mystery balloons and lucky dips. 5ts even invited visitors to paint their own picture. Raffles were extremely popular this year, with prizes ranging from exotic cakes to wall-hangings and food hamperd. The Annual School Day fashion parade was held by 68 in conjunction with Mitzi Boutique and proved successful again this year, despite many setbacks-the Gym was not available, rehearsals produced casualties and the "encouraging" remarks of some male visitors often distracted the models.

On the second Saturday back in Third Term the School threw open its classrooms and grounds to welcome parents, old girls and friends to Girls' Grammar's Annual Schootr Day in aid of the Centenary Building Fund. As is usual at affairs of this sort, food-stalls were well to the fore. Sweets and cakes were supplied by the score and proved the same popular sellers they had in previous years. There was also enough food to satisfy the most hungry visitor. 5C sold hamburgers beside 6C1's hot-dog stall and competition between these two was fierce all day. 3D added cheerios to the menu; 2,A sold ice creams and drinks; 5E ice blocks and hot chips; while 6D provided toffee apples. There were also places for the weary traveller to rest. 6A held a successful outdoor coffee shop called "American Pie" with suitable decorations, and 4A's more intimate coffee shop was in the "dungeon". 5D tried something a little different with their health food stall. They sold many home-made health loaves and biscuits. They also sold health bars bought with the proceeds of a number of earlier SWEET STALIS!
