My friend - the touch of your love is a

gift I will

never forget.

Be in love

with now, the wind,

a smile, the warmth of the sun, and a friend.

Yesterday, the sky was clouded over and the rain mingled with my lears. Todayl the sun broke through the clouds and the sunshine played a smile on my face.

Thanks.

Happiness is like a butterfly The more you chase it, The more it eludes you. But if you turn your atteniion To other things, It comes And softly sits on your shoulder.

TRIP TO BEAUDESERT On Friday, the 27th July, Mrs. Hancock, Dr. Fielding and I travelled to the Beaudesert Ambulance Centre to witness the installation of the new two-way radio system which the school and girls from Year 10 generously donated. After lunch at the centre, official presentation of the radio was made to the Superintendent, Mr. Moore, who then drove us all up to the local water tower to see the transmitter and also the marvellous view. This new system will allow the ambulance centre to communicate directly with surrounding regions previously inaccessible due to the location of the centre, and also provides a vital link with the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane. The donation itself was a token of gratitude from the school for the magnificent way in which the Beaudesert ambulance men handled the tragic mini-bus accident earlier in the year, and much of the money raised {or it came as a result of the highly successful wake-a-thon held by 10E. A personal thanks goes from all the girls involved in the accident to the ambulance men of Beaudesert, who have also issued an open invitation to any girl from the School to visit the centre and see the commemorative plaque on the radio. May I suggest that such a visit would certainly prove worthwhile. Anna Joughin, 12E.
