OLD GffiLS' ASSOCIATION NOTES, 1950 In spite of difficulties of every sort and kind throughout the world today, the Association feels that 1950 has continued to be a most successful year in the Old Girls' History. There are now 587 members on the rolls, including 40 Life Members. We were pleased to welcome 51 new members this year, but were very sorry to delete 39 members due to non-payment of subscriptions. ANNUAL GENERAL MEET'ING The Annual General Meeting was held in the school hall on Friday, lOth February, at 7.30 p.m., under very adverse weather conditions, only 62 members being present.
