Where You Pay The Least Specialise in Quality 1·equirements FOR THE PERSON AND THE HOME

Throughout the past century the world has been subject to many unexpected changes which have not failed to pene- trate this State of Queensland and the education of its people. For seventy -five years of that century our School has overcome the difficulties and incorporated the valuable new knowledge in its teaching . Three wars, each more devastating than the last, unsettled peace and a swift transition to a purely mechanical era, have disturbed the continuity necessary for th e desired develop- ment of the numerous pupils who have b een members of the School; yet, influenced by its learning and tradition, they have entered various walks of life well prepared to give of their best to the community. Inspired by their example it is for us, the p resent girls, to strive to maintain a standard worthy of our p redecessors, so that we, too, may contribute materially to the British Empire of the future.
