The hockey season concludes with the annual hockey dinner. This year it will be held at The Chancellor on the Park at 6.00 p.m. on Sunday 8 October. For further information, contact Ted Dauber, 3300 6384. It is also fitting to thank and farewell Nancye and Henry Peel who have supported Grammar hockey for nine years; providing three talented captains (Jackie, Chrissie, and Trisha), four umpires; one coach (so far); and undying support.

Kristine Cooke What makes Grammar hockey teams such goal scoring machines? The 1994 season saw Grammnr hockey score a phenomenal 139 goals for with only 5 againsl. Was this too hard an act to follow? Certainly not! Throughout the 1995 season, Grammar hockey players scored an amazing 194 goals to 10. Indeed, two players, C-grader Lauren Murray with 27 goals and Junior Sasha Cuffe with 31, each scored more than lhe whole B grade Grammar team in the 1994 season. Other prolific goal scorers were Meg Harward, B grade, with21; Ale
Asked why she thought the goal tally was so high, Head of the Physical Education Faculty and Coordinator of Hockey, Pauline Harvey-Short, said: ''There are five outstanding strik-e forwards in the School. That, coupled with solid defence who are productive ball distributors." Mrs Harvey-Short also commented on the mobile and attacking halves who "fed" the forwards. She added : "We are now reaping the benefits of the impact that regular club teams is making on the Q.G.S.S.S.A. competition." Within the three senior Q.G.S.S.S.A. teams eight players have

Stephanie Dee Thursday 17August was a different day for Brisbane Girls' Grammar School. For the fust time in many years the annual interhouse athletics carnival was not held at the familiar A.N.Z. Stadium, because of the extensive re development of that site. Instead, the competition and the entire School population was transported to the Anglican Church Grammar School where Girls' Grammar athletes competed on grass rather than a tartan track. The different venue helped add to the "carnival" atmosphere which ensured that House spirit was maintained at high levels throughout the day. The supporters of each of the eight Houses never dropped their enthusiasm and energy; nor did the athletes as evidenced by the closeness of the aggregate points scores . At the end of the d•y, Woolcock House proved their all-round superiority by winning the cup for aggregate points with 741.5, the cup for individual events with 663.5, the England Cup for relay events with 78, and the Bachmann Cup for the medley relay. This cup was presented by Meredith Bachmann, pasl student, and is a team event that includes two 200
This is lhe second year the Bochmann Cup has been contested and the cross-country staying power of Woolcock's Corinne Butler, Susan Clark, Rachelle Wu, and Sally Lohrisch gave them supremacy in record time over the teams from Gibson and Griffith. The School's newest House, Beanland, exhibited its growing strength with a second place in the individual events on 625.5 points and in the relays with 56 points. Individual age championships are always keenly contested and each year demonstrate the great talent and dedication characteristic of the Grammar athletics squad. These are the performers the School looks forward lo seeing at the Q.G.S.S.S.A. athletics compe tition in October. However, at this stage, it is unclear how many spectators can be accommodated thi s year while lhe new facilities at Q.E.ll are slill under construction. The 13 year and under champion was Sarah Estwick (8 Woolcock). The 14 year championship was an extremely tight battle, so close il resulted in a four-way tie between Sarah Bitomsky (8 Griffith), Sasha Cuffe (9 Lilley), Sally Lohrisch (9 Woolcock), and Alison O'Dwyer (9 England). Zoe Arscott (10 Griffith) claimed lhe 15 year champion 's prize, while Katie Dorney ( ll England) dominated the field in the 16 year age group. Natalie Pegg (12 Beanland) and Kate Wahers (12 England) tied for champion of lhe 17 ·ear c; ~ nd over champion. The 1995 ln!erhouse Athletics Carnival proved the adaptability and ability of the Grammar athletes. If this event is any indication, Grammar will be a strong contender on October 18.
