Mrs. Linnet Fairlie, B.Sc., keeps ia close touch and we always value the assistance she gives on Science Excursions, s1 filling in during staff absences due to illness or examinations. My special thanks to my secretary, Mrs' Pashen, and to the Secretary t9 the Trustees, Mr. Willmott, for such patient and generous attitudes to all who demand their time. They are called upon to be general problem solvers by all sections of the school comm"nity, 11d by outsiders -too whether ihe problem is related to theirwork or not. Their skill in fending offimportunate salesmen, and others whose urgent business is not seen by us in quite the same light is considerable, but no one receives less than the most courteous attention. My greetings, in absentia, to all those at the Speech Night gathetins 1nd to all who riceive this report. I am grateful to the Trustees for $ranting me the extra leave which will enable me to spend two months in Europe before picking up the threads on January Z)th to begin the Centenary Year. Mrs. M. Kugelrnan will be Agling fleadmistress and Miss M. Neil will support her as Acting Second Mistress.
