Brisbane Girls' Grammar School Maqazine

December, 1941

Throughout the year our Form has been well represented in athletics, tennis, net-ball and swimming teams. Form V. had a record year in athletics, net-ball and tennis for which we offer them our hearty congratulations . The Inter-Form Swim- ming Carnival has yet to take place so we hope we can pre- vent their carrying off that Cup. We spent a very enjoyable day at Margate and Scott's Point with IV. A. and IV. B. and our respective Form Mistresses on 18th October, and were exceptionally happy to have a fine day, this year.

IV. E. Our second year at the Grammar School draws to a close. For many of us it is our last. Others are looking forward to returning next year. We wish to thank Miss Lilley and all the Mistresses for their help and we hope that our Junior results will not be disappointing. IV. E. has shared in all School activities. Many of its mem- bers took part in the Concert which was held at the end of the second term. We wish to congratulate all participants on their excellent performance and to say how much we enjoyed it. We knitted a rug for the Bush Nursing Association and some are knitting for the soldiers. Four of the Form were · in the athletics team, others were emergencies for net-ball, swimming and athletics teams. Other- wise, IV. E. has not excelled in sport this year. We were de- feated in the first matches of both tennis and net-ball. We would like to congratulate Fifth on their numerous victories. We spent a very happy day at Sutton's Beach on October ll th with IV. C. We were all very sorry to lose our Form Captain, Olive Shepherd, early in the third term. We wish her every success in her business career. - · Musically, IV. E. is very talented. This talent Js appreciated in the right place at the right time (not in the class room during d_inner hour). IV. E. hopes to display its talent at the coming concert. We conclude by wishing Miss Lilley and all members of the Staff a Merry Christmas and a brighter New Year. Ill. A. It seems hard to realize how quickly the year has sped by, but we may easily think of many happy times we have had t_ogether during the year. Although we did not shine in the Inter-Form sports, we are able to give our~elves credit for having nine representatives in the Inter-School sports and one in the swimming team. With III. B. we hod_a very enjoyable picnic at Petrie, and we hope Miss Donaldson, Miss Jones, Miss Tomlinson and Miss Crooks enjoyed themselves as much as we did.

AT REDCLIFFE.

Many members of our Form have contributed knitted articles to the Comforts ' Fund and Bombed Children's Relief Fund and also made a knitted rug for the Bush Nursing Association. A new fund, established for the adoption of a Prisoner of War from the beginning of next year by contributions from the whole School, has been taken up very enthusiastically. This year we welcomed Miss Colvin, who became Form Mistress of the new III. F. But now we have lost Miss Donald- son, who left to join the V.A.D.'s, and whom we wish good luck in her future undertakings. In her place, we welcome our second Miss Baker to the Staff. As the close of our last year is very near for most of us, we sadly bid the School-Adieu! We wish Miss Lilley and the Staff health and happiness for Christmas and 1942, when ·we hope the outlook may be much brighter. n
