Adult fashion by Principals Design Studio of Brisbane Arcade, City, accompanied by a delicious break- fast of fruits and cliainpagne, croissants, pastries and cof- fee brightened our rainy in o1'ning, but the highlight was the Kiddies' fashion by Peepo fi'om Koninore Gallery, Moggill Road, and modelled by an endearing group of Old Girls' off-spring.

Pechey from the writing of the history of Bi. is bane Girls' Grammar School. The project is now 'on hold' temporari- Iy, but all donations made to the original appeal are still being held for this special purpose. May I lake this opportunity to thank my committee, Mrs Hancock and staff, and the school groups who have sup- ported the Old Girls' throughout the year and to wish the Year 12 girls of 1992 every success in their studies and chosen careers.
