CURRENT EVENTS

Last term Brisbane audiences were given the opportunity to hear some fine readings from the works of Charles Dickens and Dylan Thomas by Emlyn Williams, and the Se~ior School thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon spent listening to this famous actor who reproduced scenes from Dickens. Third and Fifth Forms found their afternoon at an Orchestral Concert for Schools at the City Hall equally pleasant. Another event of note this term took place in the Assembly Hall, when the school welcomed the well-known pianist, Miss Tessa Birnie, who gave a most interesting recital of both classi- cal and impressionist works. The Interform Athletics resulted in victory for IVC, while the School team was outs tandingly successful a t the Inter- school Sports, not only in retaining the Pennant and Asso- ciation Cup won last year, but also in w inning both Senior and Junior Cups. During second term our basketball and tennis teams met with success in zone matches, and won pennants in the finals this year for "A" grade tennis and basketball as well as "B" grade tennis . Recently the R. T. Jefferies Memorial Choir Competition open to Sixth, Fifth and Fourth Forms, was held in which VIB defeated VIA by a narrow margin. Once again Mr. Brandon was the adjudicator and the print of "Girl with a Dove," by Picasso, was presented to VIB by Miss A. E. Jefferies. Inter- form spirit also ran high in the basketball competitions which culminated in a very close final match in which IVB defeated Sixth Form, and in the Interform tennis competition, which was won by VB. Since the Swimming Pool Fund was opened nearly £1000 has been raised and we hope that it w ill not be long before our school is in proud possession of its own pool. 10
