BOARDERS' NOTES

Did you see that 1-o-n-g croc. leaving the Exhibition Grounds on Sports Day? Did you wcnder who those people were in front? Have you ever wondered what they do in ti:J.eir spare time? Here is enlightenment for YOU ! Many interesting and enjoyable outings have been ar- ranged for us during the year. Our most well-remembered were t.1.e Gilbert and Sullivan opera, "The Yeomen of the Guard", the production of "Macbeth" by Twelfth Night Theatre, and the film, "Red Shoes". As well as these, there have been four other picture parties, trc:m rides and hikes. On Empire Youth Sunday, we watched the procession of young people through the city. Although we followed to St. John's Cathedral, we were unable to attend the service there, as there was such a crowd. Boarders' teams have practised well this year and our efforts have not been entirely unrewarded . In our challenge to the Inter-Form winners in Athletics, we were successful in Tunnel-ball, and quite close to the winning team in the others. Our Tennis and Basketball teams have yet to play against the successful Forms, V and III B. Among our achievements for the year, are our efforts for Parents' Day. Our stall was a great success, and our raffles deserve special mention - the dressed doll, and the "lqying' ' duck. The Boarders' Party '.vas held early this year, and we enjoyed entertaining our day-girl friends very much. At the beginning of second term, Miss Weaver left us for her overseas trip, and Mrs. Rorke joined the resident Staff in her stead. Y.le all welcomed her and hope she has a pleasant stqy in the boarding-house. We should like to thank Miss Lilley and the resident staff for their help and guidance throughout the . year. . To the teaching staff and one and all, we wish a very happy Christ- mas and a bright and prosperous New Year. -A.M.B. 25
