1977 S.R.C. REPOR.T This year has gone amazin$y quickly while all our antici- pated projects have taken great lengths of time to be achieved. We started off the year slowly with the reform- ing of the constitution and re-election of this year's office bearers. For the first time ever in elections, nominees had to give an election speech on assembly. Aithough we had problems in finding time for these, it is a good idea for involving the whole school more in the S.R.C. activities. When all the election business was over we settled down to discussing and planning projects we would like to undertake. The first and major task we undertook was the painting of the cottages. This was achieved over several weekends in June. Special thanks to all those who sacrificed their precious weekend time to help us. Another project which took considerable time to otguize and complete was the printing of student identification cards. Each girl in the school who paid her voluntary levy was entitled to one. The cards are not only proof of girls being students, but also give a list of a few stores which have generously provided discounts to B.G.G.S. students. Unfortunately we weren't able to get the cards out nearly as early as we would have liked, but as the saying goes - "better late than never". Continued requests for soft drinks to be sold in the schools led to us looking into the possibility of obtaining a drink machine. It has been a lengthy procedure but the outcome will be worthwhile. On the behalf of the S.R.C., I would like to thank Miss Collinson for all her help throughout the year and the girls who have continually attended meetings and given good support to our projects.
B.G.G.S. INTERACT CLUB 1977 This year was most successful for our club. After the annual Christmas Party held at the Children's Hospital, new office- bearers began their work with a donation to OPAL and a change in club structure, with the introduction of a publicity department and financial group to come up with new pro- jects to help the club's monetary position. In the three avenues .of service: school, community and international, our club has been most active. On the school scene, a raffle to help furnish the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme with knapsacks for camps was organized, and another quite successful swim-a-thon was held in early April. Our thanks must go to staff who remembered to turn up and the Rota- rians who came at absolutely ridiculous hours of the morn- ing just to make sure we did keep swimming and nobody drowned! On the community level, a'park'between the two Grammar Schools is being landscaped. We also helped the Blue Nurses and Keep Australia Beautiful Campaign in their appeals. Perhaps our most difficult yet active service was evident in the International arena. We conesponded with an overseas Interact Club; acted as host club to an American exchange student, Kathy McNamara from Con- necticut, who left us in mid-July; and also had seven mem- bers of our club awarded Rotary Exchange Scholarships to Canada (Tracey Ward, Loryn Farmer), U.S.A., (Laura Nolan, Jane Semple, Diane Kelly) and Japan (Angela Hom, Louella wilby). For School Day this yeat, a wide variety of activities were arranged. The usual Food Hamper raffle was boosted by a second prize of a smaller hamper, while the Child-minding Centre was again in operation. In addition to this a potted plants stall was held and.the Windsor Rotary Caravan sold Dagwood Dogs. A1l were greatly successful. On that note, I would like to wish next year's committee good luck and a good year; congratulations and good luck to the Rotary Exchange Students; and thanks to the sup- porting staff, especially Miss Forster who stepped in ably as the staff member for the club, and Mrs. Hancock for her support, and finally thanks to the Windsor Rotary Club and especially Mr. Logan who again helped us continually. dur- ing the entire year.

THE B.G.G.S. "C[TOR.ALE" Each Monday and Fiiday lunch hour, passers-by outside the boarder's sitting room can hear the sweet strains of melodious female voices, interspersed with shrieks of laughter. For the uneducated souls, these are the sounds of tfie B.G.G.S. Chorale. Amidst the raucous.noise made by forty or so giris, is sometimes heard a plaintive request foi silenie - the plea of none other than Miss Hebclen.' With the help of this delicate little lady, the chorale has sung at several school funciions throughout the year. ThesJ include the Induction of Prefects, the Easter'Arr.*Uty ui St. .Iohn's Cathedral, the presentation of the Rhodes Scholarship to Eeth Woods, and a recent musical .urninlin the grm. However, the BIG event for chorale members was the occasion of the visit of Her Majesty the eueen, and prince Phillip-in March,and the opportuniiy to siig in a mass choir of 300 school children af Cloudlaria eailrEom. For some unknown-reason, the chorale received a sudden influx ;i new members shortly before this occasion. It was certainly a. memorable experience for those girls who were chosen to slng. As the year draws to a close, the chorale is now working towards a St. Cecilia\ ?ry prograrnme, *-Oininj ,itfi choirs from Churchie and Grelorf frr*.!. - tinfori";.;;i;, Miss Hebden has not been ablE to a.aw nei tioops together 3j_,frrq*."ltI of..lat_e, due to rfre im*in.niproduction of . rne 6oytnend", in which many chorale members are involved.

1977 INTERNATIONAL GIRL GUIDE CAMP CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA. CANADA. T,eaving Brisbane on the morning of July 9th, I set off alone- to Sydney. Once there I joined seven other girls, aged between 15 and 17, and I leader, to become pait of the Australian contingent for the 1977 International-Camp. The_camp was situated on an old carrot farm by the banks of the Mira River, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. -This was a beautiful area for the camp for the whole place is surround- ed by traditions. \ Thirty countries attended, from all 4 corners of the earth. Altoggther there were 500internationals compared to 1,500 Canadians. Although there was such a number of Inter- nationals, language did not present too great a problem as most girls spoke either broken English orFrench. It was up to the individual to plan her programme for the two weeks of camp. Over fifty activities were offered in- cluding service .with the handicapped, tours or overnight trips. We_left Sydney, Nova Scotia on the 3rd August, as the last to leave camp, and returned home via Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, _San Francisco, Honolulu and Fiji. - All who attended had a fantastic time and learnt a loi about many different things. JANE PILLOW - 4D DUKE OF EDINBURGII ,AWARD SCHEME This year has been a full exciting one for the members of the- Duke of Edinburgh Award SCheme. We began the year with the entrance of many Fourth Formers who treipea boost our numbers to a pleasing 63. As an encouraging start-to theyear we also saw the presentation of gold awardi !y Jttg Duke of Edinburgh to-a couple of ou-r .old-girls, Michelle Wright and Donna Perrin over at B.G.S. After amonth of organizing ourselvesin the fields of lnterest, Design for_Living and Service we started our expedition training. For -the bronze girls this was done at a iamp at Samford and for the silver girls through E.E.A. with-the assistance of Mrs. Johnston and Mr. Stamford. After pre- liminary training most members did their practice hikes straight away and completed their test expidition in the holidays- All grrls except for Shirley, Louise, Cathy and myself did hiking expeditions while we rode our biftes to and from Esk which was rather tiring, but nothing that a Radox bath couldn't cure. We attempted various fund-raising projects during the cours^e of the year, these consisted of a combined Boarder's, D. of E. girls dance as well as a handicraft stall on Schooi Day. the proceeds from these schemes helped buy vitat equipment such as packs, tents and compasses. In conclusion I would like to thank Mrs. Johnston for all her-invaluable help during the year as well as manv thanks to Miss Cahill, Mrs. Chonderry and Mr. Stamford ior their advice involvement and encouragement to the girls and the scheme within the schooi. I'd also like to thank our com- mittee consisting of Sue, Libby, Heather, Gayle and Julia, for their help in organizing our fund-raising efforts and foi in-troducing our monthiy newsletter. I hope that next year all the girls including the committee will show as much enthusiasm as they did this yey'r. KERRYN McCLUSKEY.
APATHY LEAGUE REPORT
Dear half-hearted members,
Yours slothfully, Y. Bother.
COMBINED PLAY The_ Combined Play rehearsals finally began after three weeks of auditions. We were quickly-esta6lished into the familiar routine of afternoon rehearials, where aims were high, and achievements low! Despite the perseverance of actors and producers the characters failed to appear. Never- theless rehearsals continued with undying ?egularity, so much so they occasionally did die ! This year the play, a far cry from the melodrama of "Sweeney Todd", is a'French Farce'concerning neighbours sleeping with each other's wives, or more to the f oint-, trying to sleep . . . The setting is a disreputable hotel 6 the RG d; Provence, none other than The Hotel paradiso. After months of disorganised rabble, even the diehard comics admitted "that something should be-done!,, This attitude arose a month before opening night, approximately the same time as the sets were begun. -With iome end in mind, some actors practised voice projection, others tried new faciai expressions, while still othels learnt their lines. Due to this helpful stop, the success of the play was left in less doubt and the producer allowed his nami tb be printed on the programme. Thus the curtain rose on the firit night, to an enthusiastic, if unskilled cast and crew, and a sorie- what doubtful producer. "What anigfrt! . . . "'

BOAR.DERS X977 1917 hasbeen ayear o{ change for the Boarding l{ouse,but I am pXeased to say it has been a much happier year than the Boarding flouse has seen for a while. We would like to welcome new staff members namely Anne Flarley, Rosemary Morris, Joanne- Beauchamp, Mrs. Best and S-ister Madden. It is these lucky ladies who have tried to cope with us this Year' I think they must have followed the theory keep us busy and well fed for the food is much improved (a crucial factor for boarders!) and our social life enjoyable and above all active - mainly with Churchie although there has been some contact with lads next door as well. We would also like to thank Mr. Logan for his time and energies at prep and Mrs. Ashton for taking us on various outings. Above all we would like to thank Mrs. Hancock for the time, patience and energy she has invested in the boarding house and the faith she has invested in the boarders as people.

How many of you find some lessons not quite the ful- filling experiences they ought to be? Here ari a few con- structive ways of brightening up dull lessons designed for people like you. Firstly, try replacing all the adjectives in a passage from your text book with the fourth following adjective (or any number) in the dictionary. In this way, "opaque, grey sheets" become operative and grisly, while "blank, wooden faces" become bleak and wordy. Now try writing a 26-word sentence, each word starting with a different letter and in alphabetical order. All big champion dogs eat ftgs geedily; however inno- cent jumping kangaroos like meat, never overdone, per- haps quickly roosted, salted thickly under vodka with xenon, y outhfully zealous. Or backwards alphabetical order for a change. What about a one-letter word, followed by a two-letter word and so on. I do not like using filthy napkins, although providing ponderable cleanliness, disreputable . . . Another chailenge is to write as long a sentence as possible without using the most frequently appearing letter in the English language - 'e'. Most days, I go to town and,looking through shop win- dows, think how I should not buy such things as brown clothing,but..-
Palindromes are more difficult. (Kayak and level are palin. dromes). Adam: Mtss, I'm Cain, q momomaniac, Miss, I'm - Eve: Eve mine. Denied, a jade in Eden,I'm Eve. ,A,dam: Diamond-eyed no maid! These are some parts of a dialogue between Adam and Eve by J.A. Lindon in which every line is a palindrome. Also try arbitrarily listing the words of a short poem, their rearranging them to compose a new poem with as different a meaning as possible to the original. From which poem do you think this one, entitled "World" came from? How are you, what are you? Up In the sky I wonder, a star? Iwonder... Twtnlcle, above Twinkle, high Twinkle, how? Twinkle so what? The little stsr Little,like diamond. Easy, wasn't it? Finally make up more ways to play around with words. It's an infectious pastime.

SKI[NG A. person who hasn't skied has never expeienced the ultimate feeli\g of freedom' Nothing can interfere with a skier'q wonderful thoughts as he speids down the glistening white slopes with the cool wind against hts face. He skilfully throws his weigltt around- as tf hi were on a puffy white cloud-, and is.in full contol whilst he makes rutmerous turns and flying iumps owr the moguls. The sensation of racing down th-e s,teepest mou!- taii, in harmony with the reflection of tle sun on the powder snow" the songs of the alpine birds, the rushing wind, the naturol environment plus the rhythm of skiing, is fantasticallY free. My thoughts whilst skiing are of love, music, peace and a fita Up. Even when the single run is ftnished, the feeling of its fullness overflows in my mind with happiness ond enetg/, so that while I await the next run,I om able to place myself in another skier's body and again experience the thrill. I ftnd pleasure in seeing the snow spurting upwards and out- wards from each turn, with the body beautifully balanced and bent towards the valleY. The total concentration of fast excitement and endless, lively joy in this unrestricted sport, create the uniqueness of the skiing world.
be called. With the maximum of fuss, confusion and half awake mutterings we managed to struggle aboard the plane and collapse into quiet contemplation of nice warm beds andsleep.... We arrived in the thriving metropolis of Canberra at about half past eight to be greeted by blasts of hot southern air, all of - 3 degrees! Panting out sheets of ice, we dragged our luggage to the waiting Boomerang chariot and set out on what .could be, but wasn't, termed 'a very exciting tour of Canberra'. It was around 10 o'clock when the large majority of stomachs began to screarn loudly and hysterically for food, so a halt was called. Without too many tearful farewells we left Canberra in a cloud of dust and headed south. We reached Jindabyne at about 3 p.m. and barged with the grace of aggravated elephants for the best looking accommodation. After the claims had been staked with a minimum of blood- shed, it was time to have our skis etc. fitted . The attendants showed an admirable amount of patience as the girls called for boots - 71A pleasel No 8 . . . well maybe 8U.l Yes, I think 7! or can't I please have yellow boots? Just because you haven't got them in my size is no excuse! After dinner that night we returned QUIETLY to our rooms. The next day equipped with skis, stocks and "herman boots" we hobbled to the bus ard set forth towards the snowfields. It could safely be said that Smiggen Holes and several of the ski-instructors namely Terry & Ken will probably never be the same again. By Thursday B.G.G.S. girls covered the slopes and sped down them with gay abandon and no stock, livening up the area with some spectacular pile ups, more specifically vihen Terry's class wiped out three other classes in the space of a few minutes. While the beginners began, the more experienced among us viewed the duplex slopes with familiarity and a marked lack of concern . . .(?) There were ofcourse several excep- tions who shook from the teeth down and took to the T-bar with a noticeable lack of enthusiasm. The classes usually set out downhill followed at a considerable distance by a pathetic figure wailing "You Jest of course!" The motel also had its attractions. The food was . . . interest- ing and there were a couple of discos during our week's stay. It was also discovered that among our table waiters was the star of the Colgate Commercials Unfortunately some of the best skiing talent had its activities severely curtailed by a mysterious wog. A fair number of the girls were forced to stay at the motel and watch re-runs of Days of Our Lives and drink camamile tea. By the end of the week we were suffering in varying degrees'from exhaustion, sunburn and for the better skiers over inflated egos. We left Jindabyne as chaotically as we entered it and proceeded to Canberra where we made a well earned stop at an ice.cream parlour. We arrived back in Brisbane late on Sunday night with no injured champions save one who travelled in'state, in a wheelchair. We would like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Crommelin, Mr. & Mrs. Thornguist and Mrs. M. Feet for accompanying us and we hope they enjoyed the trip as much as we did.

SNOWY TRIP Shaking with cold and moaning piteously, the B.G.G.S. Snowy contingent gathered at ttr"e tal aii ierminal at the ungodly hour of 6 in the morning, accompanied by parents and friends who had not the i.nr., oi opportunity, to remain -at home asleep. We stood in tle'mlaUe of-the oeserted air terminal, trying to look inconspicuous sur_ rounded by "Everests" ofiuggage, awaiting for^our flight to
Winter Olympic Team of the future.

SYDNEY TRIP In March, a group of art and ancient history students and teachers set off to see the Chinese Art Exhibition. With rumours flying around that the hotel we were staying at was otherwise used as a brothel, we were sure to be in for no dull time. After a sleepless 17 hour bus journey through the.night of the 26th March and a brief settling in period, we were just in the right temperament to be herded around the Opera House, Argyle Arts Centre and later a city lights tour. Morning brought ahydrofoil ride, an interesting drive around the Sydney beaches and finally the Chinese Exhibi- tion, the highlight of the tour. Our arrivalhome at 11 p.m. on Tuesday ensured there would be some very 'yawny' faces at school (or at home!) on Wednesday.
