III. D. This year III.D. has had a very successful year in both work a nd sport. All the girls work together and we all have enjoyed the first year at our secondary school. Our Form Mistress, Mrs. Gleghorn, was absent for six weeks of second term on account of illne ss. Miss Elliott and Mrs. Jackson of III. C. and IV.D. respectively, kindly took Mrs. Gleghorn's place during her absence and the Form is very grateful for what they have done. We were successful in the Inter-form Athletics in which we are .very proud of coming second and so defeating all forms except Sixth form. We have not been so successful in the Inter-form Net-ball and Tennis matches but we congratulate those who were. We are all busily preparing for the November examinations and hope we a ll do well in order to end our first year success- fully. We a lso wish all girls sitting for Senior and Junior ex- aminations every success. III. E. First of all we would like to thank our Form Mistress Miss Kennedy for the keen interest she has shown in all our doings. We have been represented in the School Swimming and Net-ball teams and we contributed several members to the Inter-school Sports teams. One of our members was successful in obtaining a School Pocket for Swimming. We were defeated, however, in all the Inter-form matche:o, but it was not from lack of help on the. part of Mrs. O'Dywer or from lack of enthusiasm shown by the Form. On Parents' Day we were especially interested in the Drinks Stall which we helped to run and equip. On the 16th October, Miss Morrison, our s inging Mistress, arranged a concert in a id of Patriotic Funds in which we were the only third form from the School to take part. We have all enjoyed and benefited by our first year at our new school. Good luck to the Junior and Senior candidates and the Season's Greetings to Miss Lilley and the Staff.

BOARDER'S NOTES. After the very unsettled time last year, the boarding house is back to normal now with its usual complement of thirty-two boarders. We would like to welcome Miss Campbell as Matron, in place of Miss Brett, and hope she has enjoyed he r fi rst year w ith us, a lthough it has been a very hard one . After first term we lost Miss Maclardy from the resident - s taff ~ and welcomed Miss Weaver in he r place. During the year a new species of boarder arrived. Th is was Mr. Frackleton! He has become a regular pet amongst us and has monopolised a great deal of our attention. We would like to thank Miss Lilley a nd Miss Campbell for .arranging a very pleasant evening for" us during the second term, a t which we entertained some of the boys from the Gram- mar School. The School's C. Tennis team was comprised of boarders and we congratulate them on their w in agains t Ipswich Gram- .mar School. We will conclude by thanking all concerned for the Satur- day afternoon outings and various tennis tournaments arranged :for us, and by wishing everyone happy holidays, and success _in the coming year. -P.C., VI.
