Many 111eiiiories were stirred as tales were told. especially dullng the tours of the school conducted ill a most efficient and friendly marinei' by present-day Prefects An enormously successful Dinner at The Staff Club of the University of Queensland at the end of August was the social highlight of the year. All decades from the 1920's were represented and well over one hundred old girls, as well as Mrs Hancock, members of The Board of Trustees and representatives from other Old Girls' Associations, shared an excellent meal while being regaled by Rhonda Pashen. Rhonda, an old girl from the late 1960's. is a physiotherapist who is presently rewriting the Workers' Compensation Act, Queensland. Her recollections of her days at Grammar amused everyone greatly, especially the description of the end of term gym exam, one of the few areas in which she definitely did not excel. Nearly forty of the women present came from the SeniorYear of 1965 and this combining of a specific year's reunion with the Annual Dinner proved so successful that other years will be encouraged to do the same in the future .- Petei' A.
