Coleman.-A steady player with good backhancl; serve and net play coulcl be stronger. E. D. Elle'n Doak has ably captained the team this year, and has provetl herself a keen anal ener- getic leader. We shall mi'ss her very much next year. We are very gratsful to certain giris frorn IV. A who have unsel,fishly given up many Saturday afternoons to corne and score for matches, or to help in 'providing afternoon tea. And rve also than'k the boarders who have given us such generous helip on these sanre occasions' B. B. s. Then he ans'wer€d, smiling at her: "Get you gone, profane enquirer; I will ans,wer not your questions- All your mean and unrfair questions. Go you back unto your teatchers- To your teachers grave and solemn, Bear to them your woe,ful wnilings Of your problems and deductions, Of your gerunds and gerundives. Of your sacl attempts at English, And your weird and rvoeful essays; Co,me not hither with your queries. Go you to the kno,rvledge fountain, To the fountain ever brimming, E.ver weiling up 'lvith knowledge. At ihe Grammar springs the fountain, At the good old Brisbane Gramrmar."

TDNNIS NOTES. This year the Tennis Team lost two matJches, one to ,Southport and one to the Bridbane Hi,gh School, so only man'agecl to gain second place in the Inter-school com'petition for the Psnnant. Our C team also playect several matches against the B tea,m,s of the other schools, and as they won every match there ought to be quite a number of good players io fiIl u'p any vacancies in next year's A team. Also a great aleal imore tennis enthusiasm has been shown by the Lower School this year, and the large nudber of entries ;for the Junior events in the school tournalment prom- lses well for the future tenni,s of the school. The oplortunity is taken here t.o thank Miss Steedrman very much for the amount of trou,ble she has taken in helping and cheer- ing the team up on all occasions as 'well as for her u[tiring interest in our varying for- tunes. We were all very proud of the per'formance o'f our last year's captain, Margaret Tlaymen' in the Interstate match belween Queensland and New South Wale,s, in whilch she repre- sented Queensland so successfully. The slchool tournament is now in iull pro- gress, and the finals as well as those orf the --**-* Once in haprpy days of chilithood, Went to hear the prophet Argus, Went through rain and storm to hear hiln. She, the young ancl soulful school i;iri; She, the eagsr one to study, Went to ask him maddening questions: What deductions and rvhat problems At her next exa'm. would face her? Would she pass or woul.d ,she flounder? Oh! rvhat hours of anguish spent she, Choosing questions then to ask him. Then she took her questions to him, Took her list of maddenin,g questions, List o'f questions to be answered, By the mystic man of 'wisdom. He, the milghty prophet, anslerecl, Scorniully he looked utpon her; Turnecl upon her eyes cif sorrow, Haughty eyes of scorn and sQrrow.
