Although our reputation last year left much to be desired, we pride ourselves that the Hall has not been graced by our sunny countenances nearly so much as before. Indeed, it seems that now, although we came to be considered as part of the Hall's decoration last year, we pay visits for Assembly only- well, mostly. We are proud of our form room, and, as it has the reputa- iion of being one of the best in the school, we have tried to keep it so by supplying flowers for it when possible. This also helps to give it "atmosphere". Last term, we enjoyed very much a picnic with IV.D. at Margate, and, after a musical trip, we swam, ate, played rounders, and ate. We thank Mrs . Jackson, Miss Benney and Miss Tomlinson sincerely for the way in which they helped us io enjoy the day, and hope they enjoyed it also. Throughout the year, we have endeavoured to "Strive to I:xcel" in school work, sport and also in the clubs held each Friday during the second and third terms. . We have, indeed, wholly enjoyed our year in IV.C., and ihank Miss Lilley, and our form-mistress, Miss Benney, and all members of the Staff who have helped us throughout the year, and wish them all a very Happy Christmas, and a prosperous, peaceful New Year; and to Seniors and Fourths, happy results in their examinations.

IV. B. For some of us, 1942 has been the last year at the Grammar School. We were very sorry to lose Miss Kennedy as Form Mistress after the first term, but we have had a very happy year with Miss Crooks . During the winter months, we made two rugs, and some of us have knitted various articles for the soldiers' comfort. Success was not with our net-bail team, but, as yet, our tennis team is playing exceedingly well. After practising during many dinner-hours, our form gained fourth place in the Inter-form Athletics. We also boast several representatives in the Inter-school Athletics Team, and two in the B. tennis. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely at our Form Picnic held at Margate in October, and we are very grateful to Miss Crooks and Miss Kennedy for accompanying us; having IV.E. with us greatly added to our fun. We would like to wish all Seniors and Juniors "Good Luck" in their for thcoming exams.; and we hope Miss Lilley, the Staff, and the School, have a very happy holiday.

FORM PICNIC (IV. B. crnd IV. E.)

IV. C. This year, for IV.C. has passed exceedingly quickly and well, and it is with a sigh of regret that we realise that, for most of us, it is our last. During the year, our form has participated in many sporting activities, and cur most brilliant representative in this has been Rosalind Lear, IV.C.'s sole hope for sporting salvation in the eyes of the School. Besides Rosalind we have been repre- 18

IV.D. FORM PICNIC.

IV. D. As the close of 1942 looms ahead of us we are reminded that this is, for the majority of us, the end of our school life .
