IV. D. As IV. D. is such a small Form this year, we have had the privilege of occupying the room which belonged to Sixth Form for so many years. We were represented at the Inter-School Sports by Ruth Dent and Essie Kelly. Dulcie Hungerford and Lorna Amoore have distinguished themselves in tennis, Dulcie with Stephanie Carrick of IV. C. winning the Senior Doubles, and Lorna with Valda Keefer of III. C. winning the Junior Doubles. Dulcie also won the Senior Singles against Eleanor Witcombe of Fifth Form. The Net-ball team justified its existence by winning two matches. Many of the girls feel rather sad about leaving School this year; they have spent two happy and profitable years here and do not want to end them; so we shall all leave for the Junior with mixed feelings. : We wish all our mistresses a happy holiday and all Forms the best of luck and a happy and profitable New Year. IV. E. The time for magazine contributions has come once again, bringing with it the rather alarming thought that another year is drawing to a close. We have spent a most enjoyable year together in IV. E. and we are anticipating an even better one next year. We cannot say that we feel very jubilant at the thought of the forthcoming Junior examination, but we wish all .::andidates for both Junior and Senior the best of luck. The form has not excelled in sports, although we were represented by three girls in the Inter-School teams. We heartily congratulate Sixth Form on their success in the Inter- Form sports and also Fifth Form and Commercial Fifth on being victorious in the tennis and net-ball matches respectively. Our Form tennis team survived two matches, but we were defeated in the first round of net-ball matches, despite the fact that two of our number are members of the B. net-ball team. We should like to thank · Madame and her form, IV. B. for joining with us in our Form picnic, and we are anticipating a most enjoyable time with them on November 2nd at Redcliffe. Our thanks are also extended to our Form Mistress, Mrs. Todd, who has constantly helped us in any difficulty throughout the year. We conclude the year by extending to Miss Lilley and the Staff our most sincere wishes for an enjoyable holiday, 0 happy Christmas and a brighter and better New Year. 18:

III. A.

Looking back on our first year at this School, I am sure that our Form has had a very happy time. Although we did not secure an outstanding place in the Inter-Form Sports we all enjoyed our weekly practice on the turf. III. A. were well represented in the Inter-School teams by Betty Garven, Joyce Hill, Ruth Micheli and Joan Moodie . . Joan Caswell swam in the Inter-School Swimming Carnival. in the beginning of the year. Each of us has a tennis time once a week and in the Inter- Form tennis matches we secured second place among the thirds. Every Friday we spend a delightful period on the net- ball court. An enjoyable Saturday was spent at Petrie on October 26th when, with III. D., we held our Form picnic. We are looking forward to the Inter-Form Swimming Carnival at the end of the year when we hope to carry away the Swimming Cup ! ! ! Every Friday we go to our various clubs-handicraft, modelling, sketching, athletics, and knitting. During the year we have knitted quite a number of socks, rugs, balaclava caps and mittens. This is our little bit towards Australia's War Effort and we feel sure it cheers the soldiers who are doing so much for us .
