-K*rot* '-Norct The Houses have played their way through Swimming, Athletics, Gymnastics, Softball, Life- saviag, Tennis, Basketball, Volley Ball, Vigaro, Padder Tennis and Table Tennis. All games were played enthusiastically with the aim seemingly to enjoy playing rather than win. Each Flouse was reasonably well backed by cheering spectators (especially - the Boarders). While some sports obviously drew more enthusiastic supporters (e.g. Athletics and Swimming) the smallei games, such as Fadder Tennis and Vigaro did not play on unnoticed. Additional sports have been added this year, those being Padder Tennis, Badminton and Vigaro, and their subsequent addition to the sports will give a greater opportunity for all girls to become involved in their House-and in sports. Participation seems to be in the main aim of all the Houses-and this was especially evident in the large numbers of girls wishing to take part in Houie debating, House singing, House orchestrals and plays. And the increase of House spirit may be due in part to the advent of the Boarders' House, who 6ave shown many of the others what House spirit really is.

S;ril, Jo rr* *9po'r' 'Norc, Never, I am certain, has Brisbane Girls' Grammar School seen a diversity of talent and physical fitness to compare with that of this year's Sixths! Thanks to the combined imagination of Miss Hatton and Mrs. Salzman, we have all been able to acquire tastes (raging appetites in some cases) for an impression variety of sports. _ Of course, we did take part in "ye olde faithfuls " -namely, swimming, ne tbal and volleyb all. But the list does not end there bv anv means! Sallying forth with formidable enthusiat..,, we donned our paddrng and guards and went "en garde" in preparation for our fencing lessons-reminding ourselves all the while that we weren't really back in the days of the three musketeers. Golf and croquet alike were enjoyed by all, although I think some of us confused the two methods of hitting the ball. We all lost pounds during our squash games, but I must admit that some rathei advanced tennis players did have a distinct advantage over us "poor beginners". But revenge is sweet, and $e who prospers not on the squash iourt is sure to do well at roller skating! Bruises and hideous grimaces to_the tune of "Puppet on a String" createdlust the right atmosphere for the Grammar Thunder6irds at Red Hill. Ice skating was even more of a challenge, for as well as being distinctly injured, the fallen skalei was in danger of a bad case of frostbite. In conclusion, most of us (dare I say "all"?), are now perfect physical specimens of emergent woman- hood, and all of this we owe to Mrs. Salzman and Miss Hatton-and the long-suffering cab-drivers in whose memories we are indelible imprinted.
