Club Notes

CRUSADER NOTES Crusader meetings have been held in Sixth Form room every Wednesday lunch -hour. Our aim ha s been to inf luence girls towards Christian living . We have had great oppor- tunity to increase our knowledge under the capable leader- ship of Mrs. Burgin, whom we were sorry to farewell in April. Miss Dorothy North, who has recently returned from the mission field in China, took her place. Earl y this year, some of the Fifth and Sixth Form mem- bers of ou r group conducted a meeting. We have also en- joyed meetings led by several visiting missionaries. Some of our members attended a Girls' Crusader hike and barbecue in Anzac Park, Toowong, and others went to the Crusader Camp at Currumbin during the August holidays . We trust that these meetings will enable us to uphold o ur motto, "Witnesses unto Me" (Acts 1 :8). P.B . DEBATING NOTES The activities of the Debating Club have met w ith great -success. An Inter-Form Debating Contest is being held , and other debates, impromptu speech meetings , and a forum have been held .
