K;&-@v& &*rc' 1968 has seen anothet year of progress and the continued expansion of our school library, under the guidance of Mrs. Needham, and with the help of Mrs. Riggs. Mrs. Riggs joined the library staff this year and helps Mrs. Needham as a reasurer and assistant librarian. \7e are grateful to the library representatives and the Book Binding Club for their service in the organization of the library and special thanks are due to Penelope Price who leads the Juniot school in looking after the fiction library. Recent- ly we enjoyed a tour over the University library, otganized for us by Mrs. Needham, which proved both interesting and enlightening. An event of considerable interest has been the discovery that we possess eight very rare early Australian botany books written by F. Manson Bailey. Mr. Thompson has kindly rebound them for us and they now form a valuable part of our collection' The Beanland Memorial Library, already of a creditably high standard, looks forwatd to a bright future owing to the vzork of Mfs. Needham, Mrs. Riggs, and all those who con- tribute to its successful existence as a necessafy Part of- the School' - F. L. DoucALL

MIJSIC BLOCK NEARING COMPI-ETXON, 2nd Term

1,/rr f,**u At the beginning of the year, Vox seemed doomed never to see the light of day, but after a good deal of perseverence on the part of all concetned, the first edition appeared late in May' After all the delay, there was quite a change in the form of Vox. This yeat Vox has been published on a single sheet of foolscap, and because it is smaller than in former years we uied to publish it mote often. It has been oryanized by a staff of sixth and fi{th formers, each of whom chose to be especially involved in a particular section. In this way' we have had some regular features such as film, book, and play teviews and the "Horror-scope". This system has worked quite successfully, but the flow of original contributions, especially from the lower school, has been virtually non- existent since mid second term. I am sure many more girls could find the time to sit down and write,something for Vox. Finally, I would like to very much for all het help throughout the year. thank Miss tWalton and encouragement
