TENNIS NOTES 'l' he tennis season o·pened again this year with our match against the Old Gir ls. The A Grade resulted in a draw and the B and C Grades in wins for the Present Girls. This year for the first t ime we have had a Captain and a Vice-captain over both the A and the B teams instead of a Captain of the A and a Captain of the B, an arrangement which has proved su ccessful. In the inter-school matches, our A team drew with St. Hilda 's in our Zone, but won after two nplays only to be beaten by one game in a closely contested match against Clayfi eld College in the finals. Our B team also did well to win its section but were defeated in the finals, again by Clayfield College. Great interest has been shown in the Inter-form tennis again this year , and there were many closely fought matches with VI Form winning the final round. The school champion- ships are now in progress and although the number of entries is not so great this year, there should be some very interesting matches. In closing, we wish to thank Mr. Moon and Mrs. Rorke for t heir helpful advice and encoura gement throughout the year , and those g·irls who, by their assistance with afternoon teas and their scoring fO'r the matches, helped to make the season as pleasant as it was . -J.E.H.
