On Wednesday, 4th September, under Madame's guidance, we fovaured the Alliance Francoise by ari exhibition of our vocal capaCities and they seemed to enjoy it. Margaret Shepley and Elsie Storrie were in the A. and B. net-ball teams respectively and they won their pockets. Annette Dennis also won her pocket for 'swimming and we had fiv~ members in the Inter-School Athletics team. . We went on our Form Picnic to Scott's Point on Saturday, 2nd O,ctober, with IV. C. and IV. D. and had a great time. ·we~ wish· to thank Miss Lilley, Miss Baker and our subject mistresses for the interesting year we have had; we . hope to repay their efforts by our results in the Junior Examination-- now looming in the near future. IV. B. Many of us who are anticipating further study at the School, are. looking forward to next year when we shall ·again be with some of the girls from whom we separated during the first term by a re-arrangement of Forms. We feel sure that we shull have as pleasant a time as we have spent during the last · twelve months, under the guidance of our mistresses. We : would like to thank Miss Lilley very much fm her interest in - us ,-and for the beautiful picture of the English countryside which she has given for our Form room. We began the year well represented in swimming by Dorothy Dunstan and Janette Hislop who have renewed th,E;Jir · "Blues", •.. Several members of the School Athletics team were . al~o ·;.;;embers of IV. B. During the net-ball season, Joan Cusack and Irene Pittman played for the School in the teams and for this work both received "pockets". We are proud of Mari Morris who did much to gain our fourth place in the Inter- For:m Athletics, held on 16th August, c:md congratulate VI. Form . on their success. Our tennis team was not very successful but our net-ball girls survived two matches. we wish to congratu- late V. and Commercial V. Forms on their well deserved . victories. We are looking forward to Saturday, November 2nd, when we are going for our Form picnic to Sutton's Beach, Redcliffe, with IV. E. We are quite sure the day will be most enjoyable and thank Madame Smikoff and Mrs. Todd for accompanying us. · This year we have spent some of our spare time knitting for soldiers and have heartily supported the monthly tuck-shops. 14
