Throughout our years here at Girls' Grammar, we have witnessed incredible and extensive progressions and develop- ments in the school's modernisation and currlculum, which can all be attributed to the tireless contributions made by Dr Grassie and Mrs Hancock. \7e thank Dr Grassie, Mrs Hancock, Miss \Xlilliams, Mr Dale, Miss Hatton, Mrs Lynch and all the staff for their never-ending suppor-t. Sincere thanks must go to the students, especially to an enthusiastic group of Preflects, and to the seniors, whose ceaseless friendship and co-operation have made this year the sLlccess that it has been. 1995 has certainly been action-packed. Ve will always treasure the memories that we have obtained from five years of valuable friendships, and from working together, in leading the school. Eariier this year, as we sat outside Mrs Hancock's office, looking at the archival display, we became aware of the aura which seems to have surrounded the school since its establish- ment in 1875. One cannot fail to feel the spirit that is illuminated by the rows of faces in those historical photographs. Over the past 120 years, this timeless Grammar spirit has become an integral part of life at the school. As generations of students move in and out of the school grounds, they take with them a part of this feeling.

At the conclusion of this huge week, the 'Beginnings' pageant began on the Friday evening, to continue the School's 120th celebrations thror-rgh various art forms.
