EDITORIAL Vocation St. Margaret's Day, 1967, brought with it the gift and dedication of the Winchester Street gates, presented by the Old Girls' Association. The Association maintains its tradition of practical concern for the school, and it is gratifying that the Old Girls' acknowledge in this way their debt to this school. Since the only product of the school i its Old Girls, it is gratifying that it produces the kind who feel they indeed have a debt. At this time of the year, those on the verge of becoming Old Girls, are concerned about their future. Already their applications of various kind have been considered, and the girls, their parents and the staff, have given careful thought to the vocation of each one. It is a wonderful thing for a girl to know that she faces a future which suits her and appeals to her. It is still better if she is also assured that this is God's calling for her. But girls must not be in too big a hurry to achieve the status of Old Girls' and the vocation that comes with it. For each child, down to the very smallest, there is a vocation to do the sums and to tidy the desk, and face the particular situation of the moment. As she passes up the school, the girl understands more clearly that w,hatever her dreams for the future may be, the immediate ste~. towards that future is this sum and this desk and this situation. The girl who is truly blessed, the lucky girl, is the one who can see in each assignment, God's vocation for her at that moment, and approach it with the same zest and delight that she will later bring to her teaching or her nursing or her degree, arid afterwards to her home, because she has learned to do all in the name of God.

ST. MARGARET'S COLLEGE MAGAZINE MISS GWEN RANKIN

-A

NOTABLE

RECORD

With her retirement from the Board of Governors on November 9th, 1966, Miss Gwen Rankin ended a connection with St. Margaret's which can barely have been equalled in any school, much less surpassed. In her eleven years as a pupil she was outstandingly uccessful both inside the classroom and on the games field and in her final year ~he was Head Prefect. She later returned to St. Margaret's as a teacher, remaining for twelve years and being appointed Head of the Primary Department. She served a two year term as President of the Old Girls' Association from 1961-62 and by virtue of this office was, during that time, a member of the Board. Her contribution was such that when her term expired she was reappointed for a further four years. On her retirement tributes were paid by Board members and the Chairman congratulated her on this long connection with the school. At the Prize-giving Ceremony in December the Headmistre referred to her outstanding contribution and spoke of her foresight and faith in the future of the school in setting up an Endowment Fund - the first and only fund of such kind at present in existence. Mi Rankin may have ended her formal connection with the school, but there are hundreds of old girls who will always remember with gratitude her enthusiasm, her friendliness and charm, and above all, her understanding. o one ever turned to her for help and was rebuffed. Service uch as this forges its own bonds and through them Miss Rankin's influence continues, perhaps the more enduring for being intangible and unseen. We wish her every happiness.

ARCHDEACON

WOODS

At the end of the second term this year, a close link with the school was broken when Archdeacon Woods ended his years as School Cha plain. As Vicar of St. Mary's, Merivale, in whose parish St. Margaret's lies, Archdeacon Woods gave much of his valuable time to taking weekly services and always officiated at our special services. The boarders, in particular, have had a very close association with Archdeacon Woods in their attendance at the

ST.

MAGAZINE

Sunday Services at St. Mary's and of course this association will continue. We thank him for all he has done, assuring him that we will always think of him as one of St. Margaret's.

OBITUARY Mrs Valerie Vicars With the death of Mrs Vicars on 7th August, 1967, St. Margaret's lost a teacher, who, although no longer on the staff, always identified herself with the school. Throughout her long illness she loved to hear of us and of the girls she taught, and we have recently received a selection of her books for use in the school. We shall remember Mrs Vicars for her sympathy, patience, courage and faith. She was dedicated to teaching and looked back over a lifetime given to educating many students.

GENEROUS

GIFTS TO THE SCHOOL

The school is always very fortunate in the associations which can be called "Friends of the School", and this year we have three to thank. The Old Girls' Association have provided us with the wall and handsome gates at the Winchester Street entrance - which is now the main entrance. The iron work and fine lamps on the gate posts have been much admired. At last we have an entrance worthy of the name. The Parent-Teachers' Association has fitted the library with new curtains. These will also provide blackout and allow us to use the room for films and other visual aids. The Endowment Fund Trustees have enabled u to have new velvet stage curtains and a tape recorder for the English and Language Departments. Both have been used in the recent production of "Salad Days". Such tangible heart-warming.

Endowment Fund: A cheque for $200, the second instalment of interest on the fund inaugurated by Miss Gwen Rankin, has recently been handed over to the Headmistre and ha been used for the purchase of a tape-recorder. This cheque brings the amount handed over to the school to date to $600 and the benefit of a steady and regular income being available to the Headmistre for the purchase of items of equipment which may not otherwise be obtainable, i already very evident. The final instalment is being used for a new stage curtain in the Hall. The Trustees are confident that, over the years, the capital of the Fund will continue to grow through the generous support of Old Girls and friends, thus making available to the chool an ever-increasing current income.

CHAPEL NOTES At the end of the second term this year there drew to a close the very long period in which the vicars of St. Mary's Merivale, have voluntarily acted as chaplains. We are indebted to all of them, and in particular Archdeacon Woods. On the 13th September we welcomed our new school chaplain, Archdeacon Norris and his wife. We look forward to a long and happy association with them. Contributions from all the pupils at Harvest Festival, on March 9th were distributed to Old Peoples' Homes, the Salvation Army Homes, Community of Sacred ame, Te Wai Pounamu and special grocery packages to a group of Pensioners in cottages. Tins of dried milk powder, contributed by the boarders, were sent to the Islands. On Ash Wedne day a Corporate Communion was once again held at St. Mary's, Meri vale, to which Miss Mullan was accompanied by the prefects. Lenten collections totalled $700, a record. Bishop Pyatt conducted the Confirmation service, held in the School Chapel on October 3rd. Seventy-eight girls were confirmed.

The following morning their first communion was held in school time, again in the Hall. Parents and relatives of confirmees as well as schoolgirls were invited with a total of 515 communicants. Assisting the Bishop at the altar were Rev. Allison and Archdeacon Norris, with Archdeacon Woods and Canon Carson officiating at two side altars. Founder's Day Candlelighting Service on 3rd November, was preceded by the Dedication of the new Winchester street gates, a gift from the Old Girls' Association. Apart from the new gates, the Old Girls have also contributed a subscription for the loan of paintings from the Canterbury Library. Lunch-hour Communion Services every Friday in the Boarder's Chapel were begun this year and have proved worthwhile. We would like to thank Rev. John Vincent and Deaconess Ault for assisting at many of these :,ervices. We were very fortunate in having Father Vilianni of Fiji, Miss Donna De Verona of America and Miss Audrey Reed on furlough from missionary work in East Africa to speak to us at different times during the year. This year's Chapel Fund has reached a record figure of over $1600, a large part of which was contributed at the Direct Giving Service on August 17th. Some of the money has already been used to buy a typewriter for a Melanesian boy and the rest is to be distributed to sponsored families, the Community of the Sacred Name, Te Wai Pounamu College, St. Margaret's School in Nazareth, a fund on which Jenny Harris may draw in her Volunteer Service next year, and a fund for Chapel alterations. Foremost in these alterations is the provision of communion rails f:\nd a credence table, but plans have yet to be finalised. t,. Finally, we would like to thank the very efficient Chapel Guild and the Assembly Pianists. SCM NOTES The Artroom has been adopted again thjs year for our activities, which have been in the form of lunch-hour meetings every fortnight. We took as our theme this year the pamphlet "Sin in the City", by Matthew Calder. Several lunch-hours were spent in interesting readings and discussions of it. To supplement these studies we were privileged to have many enlightening guestspeakers. Canon Thorpe from St. John's Church, spoke on the sub-

ject of "Restless Youth in the City", and his activitie for them. We thoroughly en joyed hearing from two members of Alcoholics Anonymous and from the Reverend I. H. Hopkins, Chaplain of Paparua Prison, who told us "What Makes a Criminal and What Cures Him". Other speakers included the Reverend John Kago, who spoke delightfully about his native Kenya; the Secretary of the Secondary Schools' Branch of SCM, Miss B. Phillips, and Canon J. 0. Rymer, who described the problems of university life. A group of girl visited the Community of the Sacred ame and enjoyed the experience very much. Throughout the year a considerable amount of money has been rai ed. A Talent Quest, while displaying hidden talent, was also very profitable. A sweet stall and cake stall at P. T .A. meetings were successful. The resulting amount from these efforts was sent to Federation Funds and our Sponsored Child in Greece. We sincerely wish to thank all those who spoke to us and we are particularly grateful to Miss Tutill for arranging speakers and for her guidance throughout the year. We hope that SCM may play an increasing part in the life of the chool and extend our best wishes to next year' SCM group. ART AND THE ART ROOM When Sir Malcolm Sargent defined music as "the be t of man speaking to the best that i in man", he was surely making a statement which can be applied to art in general. The true artist, however often he falls hort of his ideal, is striving to express something of hi finest self-to communicate it to other elves. The fact that the ideal i never realised is at once the cause of frustration and the source of ever greater strivings; it is, in fact, what keeps art alive and vital. For art, like religion, involves the self in the earch for a goal beyond itself. And this earch must always re ult in the refusal to be sati fied, in the urge to experiment, to go forward with daring. It is perhap , the desire to experiment which has been the dominant note in this year's Art Room activitie . The result has been a spontaneity, a freshness, which has itself lured the girls on to further efforts. In painting, design, leatherwork and embroidery, new forms of expression have been sought and found, and it ha been a source of delight that many of the new enterprises have been initiated by the girls themselves who, refusing to be confined to well tried techniques, have launched out with

abandon to create, not only paintings expressive of their own personalities, but such things as wall hangings, embroidered pictures, evening bags, tooled folio cases, and a variety of more mundane but nevertheless exacting articles. It has been satisfying, too, to find art students fully involved in other aspects of school life such as scene painting, and so taking their part in a larger enterprise. When, at the last Display of Work, a Mathematics master viewing the art work said, "What a useless subject I teach look at all this lovely work", he was being more humble than profound. For art cannot, any more than human beings, exist in a vacuum. It draws upon the whole of life, as it reflects such life; and the person wiith a keen appreciation of literature, history, music or mathematics, is likely to be a better artist than one who has little knowledge of such things. In this respect also art ha affinity with religion - it cannot be pigeonholed; it is, and must always be, woven into the very stuff of life. In a school this interpenetration is experienced with special intensity. We rejoice at the enrichment which such experience brings to our work in the Art Room. LIBRARY NOTES The Library has had a successful if somewhat hectic year. We were very sorry that both Mrs Jameson and later Mrs Woods were unable to continue as Heads of the Library, because of other responsibilities, however, we welcome Mrs Crosbie to the Library and to the school and hope that she remains with us for a long time. In the first term we continued to help the new Junior School Library to establish itself in its very new surroundings. At the end of the first term, with the help of Miss Corder, an extensive and intensive re-organisation of our library was carried out in which ~e tried to bring accessioning, repairs and, bookprocessing up-to-date. Throughout this year there has been a wide and exciting purchase of new books, especially in sixth form and general fiction, which I feel is already rejuvenating the library. A new feature is the addition of an interesting set of special reading books; simplified version of excellent novels and stories which will prove very. useful. The libra,,ry, besides fulfilling all its usual functions, also leads a very full life as a meeting room, a supper room, a dressing room for dramatic activities and a schoolroom. We hope this

frequent u e for other activitie may perhap unconsciou ly encourage its more normal use ( many budding actresses may find it soothing to read a book while waiting for their entrance). Finally, I would like to extend my thanks to my deputy, Susan Gardiner, who has been a tower of strength, and also to wish next year's librarians a happy 1968 in the Library. 6S -

ST. MARGARET'S COLLEGE MAGAZINE

MUSIC NOTES 1967 has been a very full year for the music department. Both the choirs and the orchestra have keenly supported services such as the Direct Giving Service, the Confirmation Service, and this year, the first Communion Service held for new candidates. The orchestra has continued to play for school assembly every Monday morning. One of the highlights of this year was the production of Julian Slade's "Salad Days". Yvonne Mackay and Hilary Tomlin took the leading parts of Jane and Timothy, while the whole of the senior choir participated in some capacity. The orchestra also took part, directed by Mrs Allison. This year the Christ's College and St. Margaret's Choirs combined to give a concert at the opening of the new College Hall. They sang the "Gloria" by Vivaldi, the solo parts of which were taken by Betty Brosnan, Mary Adams-Taylor and Anthea Moller, Benjamin Britten's "Cantata Misericordium" and "St. Nicholas" with soloist Bruce Chandler. The school orchestras also gave a concert at the opening of the hall, having regularly attended practices at College. MUSIC CLUB NOTES The music club, which began in 1966, met six times this year. The performers were mostly pianists from the junior school, with a few instrumentali ts and vocalists from the senior school. After the music, a large supper was served. The aim of the music club has been to give girls experience and encouragement in public performance. Girls sitting practical exams have had a chance to play their pieces. Unfortunately few seniors have attended the meetings. Next year we hope to increase their enthusiasm and following with items by guest-artists from other schools, and folk-singers. Our thanks go to Mrs Clark, Miss Brown and Miss Bilcliff who have given the adult backing necessary in a new club. DEBATING CLUB NOTES The Debating Club held its first meeting early in February and was attended by a large number of enthusiastic Third Form-• ers, who very soon led off in their first debate. On the subject that "Women are becoming less feminine" the affirmative was taken by S. Mazey, J. Wagner and L. Livingstone and the negative by M. Shanks, J. McKenzie and J. Aldridge. The Judge C. Parr, gave the honours to S. Mazey. M. Hollard was in the

ST.

MARGARET'

COLLEGE

MAGAZINE

chair. An opportunity wa given to VIA against VIB on the subject "It is better to be wealthy than wise". The affirmative taken by B. Morris, A. Livingstone, C. Phillips proved to be the winners against C. Parr, R. Biss and D. Rawson. Mrs Jameson and Mrs Erber were the judges. "A sixteen year old at work is more mature than a sixteen year old at school" was the subject discussed by the Fifth Formers, E. Everist, H. Ackroyd and K. Macarthur took the affirmative. They were opposed by Jan Fraser, S. Gracie and A. Thatcher. The affirmative was given the decision by the judge, Mrs Penney. N Paton was in the chair. "Height is a necessity - for women", allowed scope for Fourth Formers. The affirmative led by R. Chignell support-· ed by L. Roberts and L. Cochrane lost in a very witty debate to the negative led by E. Paton, P. Rutledge and A. Goldstein. The Judge, C. Phillips, gave a decision to the negative and the winning speech to a particularly humorous effort by P. Rutledge, P. Farra was in the chair. Several class debates have kept interest alive among a small group, when it has been found impossible to arrange full club debates. On these grounds also annual debates have been found difficult to arrange; but, on going to 'press' the annual debate with Shirley Boys' High School is being arranged. MYERS CUP FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING A very lively and amusing competition took place this year. The competitors were given the minimum of time for preparation of speeches so that the audience enjoyed an unusual freshness in presentation. Mr Gordon Troup gave helpful comments to each speaker and everyone appreciated his kindliness and wit. Junior Section: Suzanne Mazey. Commended: Sarah Livingstone. Intermediate: June Pallot. Commended Jane Matheson. Senior Section: Charlotte Holmes ( winner of Myers Cup). Commended: Anne Livingstone. TRAMPING CLUB NOTES The S.M.C. Tramping Club officially began at mid-term on the inspirations of Jenny Harris, Miss Mangos and Miss Blair, exclusively for sixth formers. Two extremely successful tramps have so far been held, the first to Godley Head at mid-term

ST.

MARGARET'S

COLLEGE

MAGAZINE

under the supervision of Miss Blair and Miss Mangos and the second to Arthur's Pass in the last weekend of September. This was rather more varied and terrific fun principally because we were under male supervision. As well as having the cautious eyes of Miss Blair and Miss Mangos watching over us we were also guided by such celebrities as Mr N. D. Hardie, Mr Peter Squires and Mr Nick A hby. Extracts from the Tramping

Club log book:

Godley Head:

Left Christchurch at 8.40 by train for Lyttelton, trekkf'.d up Evan's Pa and along the summit to Godley Head which was reached by lunchtime. Our base for the night was an old renovated army hut lent to us by the Toc-H club. Afternoon was spent exploring old war relics, visiting the lighthouse and collecting firewood. After an early meal of stew, spuds and fruit-salad, we played hilarious games until lights out. Following morning we left for Taylor's Mistake and then over the hill to Sumner for lunch. Lessons learnt included: too many cooks spoil the broth and acceptance of majority decisions is essential. Arthur)s Pass:

Panic as the train left Christchurch station. Only seventeen, someone missing and we had all forgotten to count ourselves. Met at Arthur's Pass station by very distinguished gentleman, Mr . Hardie. After a hectic climb up 30 feet to the Alpine Club hut we had to wim through moke to reach our wet bunks. Nine o'clock next morning a lecture on river crossing, then down to the waterless river to put our theory into practice. After an early lunch at ] 1.00 we finished our first official tramp at 1.30. Two more lectures, one on bush-craft by a delegate from the New Zealand wool commission alias Peter Squires, and one on weather conditions. Five gallons of stew for tea, slides at the Ranger's, 86 scenes and German dancing at Hans Barne's. Nine o'clock next morning were heading up a vertical bush track towards Mount Bealey, 5980 feet. Summit reached in 3 ½ hours and after a fight we split up, some retracing tracks and others led by Robin Hood alias Peter Squires, "wedeled" down a shingle slide to the bottom. The only casualty all weekend was adequately coped with by alien fauna, Nick Ashby. Left the Pass via 8.30 train except Miss Mangos and Miss Blair, who left a little earlier by car. The anticipation of a deep hot bath was too much for them. Conclusion: cheap fun at four dollar .

MARSDEN

COLLEGE-ST. MARGARET'S COLLEGE NORTH ISLAND TRIP In November, last year a few hours after the last School Certificate examination, thirty-six Fifth Form girls, laden with sleeping bags, cameras, swimsuits, and, in some cases, large enough suit cases to daunt a hardy round-the-world tourist, set off by ferry under the care of Mrs Penney and Mrs Erber. ext morning after breakfast, they were met by a imilar party from Marsden and duly divided into two buses. Napier, Taupo, Rotorua and as far north a Kawerau were visited. Educationally we were well catered for with voluminous notes provided by Marsden College. In the matter of cuisine we were equally well catered for, particularly at dinners which we had at some really good private hotels. Lunch was, as a rule eaten picnic fashion at some stop on the way, except for a smashing smorgasbord at Lake Rotoma, after a swim in the warm mineral pool. We saw all the things we should on the way - the dolphins at Napier, the Takahe at Mt. Bruce, the map at Turangi of the Tongariro Power Development Project, the Forestry Research Station at Rotorua, the Geothermal Power Scheme at Wairakei, the very frightening narrow tracks between boiling pools and hot mud en route for Rotorua, which made Whakarewarewa seem almost tame, and the old Maori Church at Ohinemutu. We enjoyed the mineral baths at the Municipal pool at Rotorua, the Maori concert, afternoon tea at Ngatawa on our return and the final dinner at Wellington with our Marsden Hosts. We remember with amusement the small 'pool' at our cabins at Rotorua and the strange behaviour of the Ferry Steam~r ( or of us?) on our way back. Many thanks to Marsden for making the arrangements for us. If any of you have the chance of a similar trip our advice is "take it". FLATTERS' COURSE ow in its third successful year, this cour e which was introduced to provide a basic training for the prospective management of a flat or home, has once again proved very popular and worthwhile to sixth form girls. All the girls can now say that they have a basic if not practical knowledge of home planning, economics and management. In the first term we had lessons on colour in the home and visit to the Canterbury Building Centre and a furniture

display. These were upplemented by an interesting talk on interior decoration given by Miss Rothenburg from Beath's, who illustrated her talk with slides and a practical demonstration of colour scheme using various modern sample materials. A stimulating talk was given by Mr Donnithorne, a Christchurch architect, who illustrated with slides the trends in modern architecture and building materials. Later in the term a visit to the Department of Agriculture's model kitchen made us all aware of the necessity for efficient kitchen planning. This was followed by lessons on meal planning, sensible eating and dieting, and the preparation and serving of party foods and exotic dishes. In the econd term Miss Mason gave a number of very worthwhile lessons on deportment, grooming etiquette and skincare and patiently ironed out a few ungainly slouches and ungraceful gaits. Mrs Whitehead from Janson's gave a valuable lesson on the choice and care of foundation garments and two of our girls modelled some sample sets which she had brought along. Towards the end of the term talks and films were given by a Health Department doctor and Mis Watling gave a demontration of flower arrangements. In the third term a demon trator from Hyslop's gave some sound advice on hair styling and management and a Max Factor consultant gave a very popular and helpful demonstration. Miss Watling returned to give us the opportunity to try our hands at floral decoration and conducted a successful workshop. Archdeacon Norri gave a talk on alcoholism and stimulated interesting discussion among us. Detective Superintendant Gordon, C.I.B., who is to speak on the Drug Problem will prove very interesting. Our sincere thanks to Mrs Manhart for making this course such a success and providing both beneficial and absorbing Wednesday afternoons. DRAMA

NOTES

This has been both an ambitious and a successful year for drama at St. Margaret's. In the second term we put on our first musical for several years, 'Salad Days', by Julian Slade. Produced by Mrs Kingston, with Mrs Allison as musical director, and a large but very competent cast. This production was highly successful. The cast included Yvonne Mackay as Jane, Hilary Tomlin as Timothy and Jocelyn Armstrong, Julia Matheson,

MAGAZI

Heather Scott and Cathie Phillips. The numerous and complicated scene changes were accomplished very smoothly under the capable direction of Sally Patterson as Stage Manager. Again this year we were invited to take part in a joint production with Christ' College, this time at the opening of their new Assembly Hall. The play, 'The Caucasian Chalk Circle', by Bartolt Brecht, was produced by Mr Creese. The leading role of Grusha wa played by Catherine Wilkin, strongly and effectively, and the other girls taking part, Yvonne Mackay, Jocelyn Armstrong, Lynn Bowman, Vicki Hiseman, Charlotte Holmes, Ceri Parr and Susan Wagner, were also impressive. The following is an extract from a report printed in the 'Press 'on 10th October, 1967: " 'Let all things go to those who are good for them', Bartolt Brecht urges at the close of 'The Caucasian Chalk Circle', 'children to the motherly, carts to good drivers, that they be well driven, and so on.' "Hi dream was perfectly expressed in the production of the play by Christ's College last night. "It is a wonderful play for a school but if the play was good for this chool so was the school good for the play - in performance, in association with girls of St. Margaret's College, and through, the magnificent theatre in the new college hall." This year we entered a one-act play 'Elizabeth Refuses' in the British Drama League' Secondary School Festival under the direction of Mrs Kingston. This was yet another step in renewing the interest in drama in the school. Although we did not have House plays this year we hope to continue with them next year. We would like to thank all those who have helped with our drama this year, without whom we would not have been able to enjoy such successful productions. JU

IOR RED CROSS,

1967

Thanks are due from the past and present members of the Junior Red Cross to Miss Beattie, who retired from this organisation at the end of 1966. For many years she ha worked untiringly, and inspired many girls with her wise and kindly leadership. During the year there have been 131 members of the Junior Red Cross. The girls have raised $152.23 altogether, by workstalls held at home and by money earned in variou ways . A

MARGARET'S

COLLEGE

MAGAZINE

successful concert was held by Standards One to Four, and the proceeds donated to the fund. Members made worthwhile contributions to help stock the Stall on Market Day, and we would like to thank the girls who helped to clean the hall at its conclusion. On Thursdays, during the lunch hour, Mrs Rainey kindly gave us her time and teaching in a series of lectures on Mothercraft, which has proved of great interest to the girls who attended the course. Members were also very interested in a talk given by Miss Eldridge when she told us of the work done by the organisation and the places to which we send our goods and money. Boxes of clothes, quilts, toys and books have been dispatched to Headquarters, together with a large number of friendship bags for use in hospitals. Mrs Edwards has helped members in Standards Three and Four with sewing and knitting during the year, and as a result they have made many useful and interesting contributions. Members attended the Annual Red Cross Serxice at St. Mary's Church, Manchester Street. Visits were also made to the Wesley Home for the Aged and to the Institute for the Blind, where the girls sang carols and made small gifts. Finally, a word of thanks to the many parents who gave so much help to so many daughters in preparing work stalls and sending gifts. PRIMARY

SCHOOL

NOTES

With two Form I and two Form II classes, the Primary School roll has passed the 300 mark. As all classes are now at the Winchester Street end of the College, we are really functioning as a fully primary school, meeting daily for prayers and as embly and thereafter at break and lunch time, pupils of all ages, and teachers, getting to know one another better. The year has been a busy one with the u ua1 activities outside the classroom. Harvest Festival contributions were generous, while many girls attended the Holy Week services at the Cathedral. Standards 2, 3 and 4 staged operettas at St. Mary' Church Hall. We appreciate the work done by Mrs Taylor and the other teachers to produce such a high standard and such delightful entertainment. Parents and friends enjoyed the instrumental afternoon staged by girls learning the piano and other musical instruments. Later a programme of class and choir singing, in-

terspersed with instrumental items, pleased a large audience. A party of girls attended a matinee performance of the Australian Ballet Company when they saw "Giselle". At the end of the second term there was a real spate of factory visits as classes went out to discover some of the industries operating in Christchurch. All enjoyed the experience greatly and learned a lot from it. Our basketball and hockey teams had a very successful season. For the first time we hit the double. The A basketball team won the Mary Weathered cup in the Private and Church Schools' competition. The hockey team gained the Shield competed for by primary schools in the Christchurch area. All classes have en joyed their visits to the Museum, to the Gardens and to Millbrook Reserve. The Traffic Officer has been in to school to check bicycles and to give instruction on road safety while the School Patrol has helped greatly to ensure the safety of small children crossing the road to and from school. This year marks the end of an era as far as the Primary School is concerned. Next year there will be a little St. Margaret's at Springfield Road when the Primers up to Standard 4 take up residence there. Forms I and II will become part of the Secondary School. While we look back with pride in the growth and achievements over the years, we look forward and wish success and further development to the new groupings within St. Margaret's College. INFANT DEPARTMENT NOTES At the conclusion of the Third Term, the Infants made their customary pilgrimage to the Cathedral, to leave under the Christmas tree, many beautiful toys they had brought to school. The dignity and solemnity with which the children treated the occasion was ap impressive and appealing sight. During Term I of this year we thoroughly enjoyed on excursion to the Chief Post Office, where the children were escorted through the mail room, toll room and telegraph room. The latter was paticularly exciting, and they brought back telegrams made out for them by the telegraph branch. The visit was a valuable experience resulting in much interesting writing, art work, stamp collecting, letter writing and reading. At the b_eginning of this term the children travelled to Woodend to further extend their experiences by visiting a farm. The day was perfect, and we are deeply indebted to Mr and

ST.

MARGARET'S

COLLEGE

MAGAZINE

Mrs Scott for the considerable trouble they took to ensure that the children experienced every aspect of farm life. The value of this was clearly demonstrated in many follow-up activities. Mrs Roberts, our Schools' Traffic Officer, paid us several visits during the year, demonstrating in her intimitable way the necessity for us all, to be ever conscious of small children on the roads. As the school year nears conclusion we look forward to our Sports and many other activities associated with Third Term functions. HOSTEL

NOTES

1967 has been a very successful year for the boarders. Girls have taken part in all school activities and a good record of academic and sporting success has been achieved. The year began with our annual picnic to V-/aikuku. I cannot say, as my predecessors have done, that everyone got unburnt, as it was a dull day, but everybody enjoyed it and it helped the new gjrls to settle in. This was followed by our House Swimming Sports, where everybody competed very enthusiastically in the numerous events. Maybe there was not as much skill as found in the School Sports, but I am sure there was much more fun. This year we have continued to extend our contacts with other chools. We had the Te Wai Pounamu girls visiting us one afternoon for games and later on we were thrilled to visit them. We enjoyed very vigorous game of hockey and basket-• ball, which were followed by a short concert of Maori song by our hoste es. We also spent an enjoyable afternoon with the Rangi Ruru boarders and hope to have them visit u later in the term. Activities on Saturday afternoons have included working bees at the Victory Memorial School, a visit to the National Swimming Championships, several trips to the pictures, games and walks. We are grateful to Miss Morrison for helping us to organize these. As in the last two years, the third and fourth form girls have joined the Toe H Harrier Club and taken part in runs on Saturday afternoons during the winter. P.T.A. members have continued to show us films during term I and II, and we are very grateful to them, especially the one who steeled himself to show us "A Hard Day's Night". We much appreciated the T.V. set given to us for Term II by last year's leavers. During the year we have entertained most of the school prefects to dinner at the House. Unfortunately, now they will

not believe us when we call ourselves "poor starving boarders '. Lyn Bowman, our American Field Scholar also spent a night with us. The highlight of Term II was the flu epjdemic when everyone was sent home a day early for our mid-term break. On our arrival at the beginning of the year we were pleased to see the Chapel was ready for use again after its change of site and renovation. New carpet, paint and forms had transformed it. Holy Communion Services have continued to take place every Thursday morning, and we thank Archdeacon Woods for continuing to take them for us, and for hi interest in the boarders during his time as Chaplain. We welcome Archdeacon Norris who was his successor as Chaplain from the beginning of Term III. On Maundy Thursday we were very pleased to have Bishop Pyatt with us to conduct our service. We were visited by Brother David of the Franciscan Order during Term II and he gave an interesting talk to the seniors about the life and work of the Brothers. I would like to thank all the girls who have acted as chapel organists during the year. I wish to thank Miss Mullan for all the upport and advice she has given to all of us, especially the prefects, throughout the year. We appreciate very much the cooperation of Mrs Brooks as Head Matron, and also the other Matrons, Miss Shand, Miss Brown, Mrs Cassidy ( Term I) , Mrs Dornwell ( Term I) , and Mrs Foote and Mrs Van Roode (Terms II and III). Tutors during the year have been Miss Spence, Miss Singh, Miss Morrison, Miss Currie and Miss Innocent. We are also grateful to Mrs Stone and all the domestic staff. Finally, I would like to thank the prefects for all the help and support they have given me during the year and wish our successors the best of luck. SCHOOL

COUNCIL

It was decided this year to re-c:reate the School Council in an attempt to improve the general relationships in the school and to put forward new ideas and suggestions from each form. The first meeting was held on 10th July followed rapidly by another on 17th July. Many interesting and intelligent views were aired, although little of a constructive nature was achieved. It is to be hoped that next year with the council firmly established, the ideas put forward will also be able to be put into practice.

KONINI

HOUSE NOTES

1967 has proved an outstanding year for Konini, for at long last we have blo omed forth. By a remarkable stroke of luck, we seem to have acquired all the available House cup m circulation. For what seems to be the first time in Konini'. history, we won the Swimming port , on total number of points. We had a splashing victory in the Hou e Crocodile and the wellpracti ed junior team won the Junior Relay. Stunned by these two achievem nts the senior girls retired to third place in the senior relay. We are especially proud of Felicity Bunt who became Junior Champion and Helen Millar as runner-up, and Judy Beryman as runner-up in the enior section and girl with "the most points not a champion". Without their help we could not have won the sports. In the Athletic ports, Konini gained yet another victory. ot only did we win the three relay , junior, intermediate and enior - a record? - but we won the sports, with the total

ST.

MARGARET'

MAGAZINE

number of points. This was the result of the valiant effort of the relay teams and the sack relay team, which came second after a most exciting race. A special thank-you to the whole House for the wonderful display of house spirit which allowed us to come third in the Whole House Relay. Our congratulations to Cherise Wilkins who became Junior Champion. A large number of Konini girls were successful in both Life Saving Examinations and Gymnastic Examinations and the high standard of the: Life Saving girls enabled us to win the Life Saving Cup. In the second term, Konini's sporting ability again came to the fore in the House Hockey and Basketball matches. The exceptionally good players in the hockey team won for us the much sought after Hockey Shield. The combined efforts and spirit of the basketball players also enabled us to gain a victory on the courts. In the cross-country run we let the energetic Kowhai girls surpass us by a large margin and retired to second place. Next year, I hope there will be more participation from the "old ladies" in our House. At the end of the first and second terms we just managed to seize the Bates House Cup and I hope we will do so again this term. I would like to thank all those who made an effort to gain work-bars and mentions for Konini, especially the third and fourth formers, from whom most of the mentions were drained. There has not been much opportunity for Konini to extend her ability beyond the sporting field this year, but we congratu-· late Charlotte Holmes, winner of the senior section and the Myers Cup in the Myers Cup Public Speaking Competition. Finally, I wish to thank the House as a whole, for the enthusiasm add cooperation shown this year in all House activi1 ties. To my 'vice-captain, Jennifer Lawrence, I would like to express my sincere thanks for her continual help and support throughout the year. We wish those returning in 1968 as much success and pleasure as we have had. Congratulations

KOWHAI HOUSE NOTES This year, although it has not been one of outstanding success for Kowhai has nevertheless been one of many satisfactory achievements. The first big event of the year was the Swimming Sports and Kowhai managed to splash its way into second place. Our congratulations go to Konini on their well deserved win. However we were not entirely out of the limelight, winning the Senior House Relay and being placed second in the House Crocodile. In the Athletic Sports the Whole House Relay ran a nerveracking but victorious race. We were placed second in the Sack Relay and the Junior Relay, while the seniors allowed their age to show and only managed a third place. In the field of life-saving, Kowhai, has continued to make good progress; Konini defeating us in the House Life-Saving Cup by two points. We would like to congratulate all those who gained points for the house by passing life-saving and gymna ties awards. Unfortunately we were unable to be triumphant in the House Hockey or House Basketball matches. However, the 'A' Basketball team managed to win their section. We look forward with great expectancy do the Inter-House Softball and Tennis competitions. The enthusiasm towards the Cross-Country lay mainly with the juniors, though limited support from the seniors combined to help us win this event.

MATIPO HOUSE NOTES Matipo has been quite successful in sporting prowess this year but unfortunately did not attain her usual scholastic tandard. In the first term however, we gained a close second place in the Bates Cup, losing it by only two points. In the second term Matipo fell back to third place, but is doing her best to win the cup this term. Many thank to all those girls who have contributed to the points by earning mentions, work bar and gym badges. With Tui Shipston boosting Matipo's points at the Swimming Sports we gained a close third place. Our only success in whole House efforts was our close second in the Senior Relay. Congratulation to Tui Ship ton who was Senior Champion and had her colours re-awarded. Tui has also been selected for the

At the Athletic Sports in March, Matipo as a house were more successful. We were narrowly beaten by Kowhai in the Whole House Relay but won the Sack House Relay and House Captains Novelty Race! Cheryl Copeland was Intermediate Champion. In the second term our enthusiasm did not produce outstanding results on the hockey and basketball fields but we were third overall in the Inter-House Matches. Many girls also earned points in the second term by passing iron, bronze, silver and leader gymnastic examinations. In the Cros Country Championships Matipo's results were low owing to the few entries. However, first and second places did go to our house. Finally, I would like to thank my vice-captain for her continued help and support throughout the year and the house as a whole for the cooperation and enthusiasm shown in all activities.

NOTES

This year so far has brought no laurels to Rata. The House Spirit which Cynthia Roberts remarked in 1965 was just in the embryo tage is slow in developing and has not yet reached the adult phase. However, we hope that the enthusiasm of the present third formers will continue to grow in the years to come. In spite of the number of entries in the athletic and swim-

ming sports we were not very prominent in placings. Nevertheless we made a dram:itic entry on a bicycle. In the House basketball and hockey watches although we practised hard our efforts were not strong enough to overcome all the other teams,. Work bars, mentions, gym awards and life saving awards gave us a considerable number of work but not enough to win the Bates House Cup. The Cross Country was popular point winning event, but the large numbers of detentions reduced our hard won marks. Our congratulations go to girls who were placed in the Myers Cup, Star Art Exhibition, French and Latin Speaking competitions and various other competitive activities. We draw a discreet veil over our past and look forward to future glories.

RIMU

HOUSE

OTES

This year Rimu has suffered the effects of an off-,season. Rimu did not manage to win any cups in either the scholastic or the sporting field. However, the third formers were very enthusiastic and made up for the older girls' lack of interest. In the swimming sport , Rimu was fourth overall, gaining a close second in the Junior House Relay. Rimu produced the runner-up wimming champion in the Intermediate section, Rosemary Forrester. I should like to thank all girls who competed in the swimming sports and remind them that Rimu's time will come. In the Athletic ports, Rimu took a leap - and fell. Rimu was fifth overall. However, enthusiasm was not lacking in the Whole House Relay which provides much entertainment for the spectators. The sack relay did very well coming a close third. The Junior and Intermediate relay teams both came third in their sections which was an excellent effort, considering the champion runners they competed with from the rival houses.

In the winter sports field Rimu improved con iderably. Our hockey team reached the final by defeating Kowhai 1-0, but we were sadly de£eated by Konini 1-0 in the decisive match. However, Rimu had only two girls in the school B team, Sue Gardiner and Susan Wilton, while the other House Hockey teams had at least one girl in the A team. A plendid effort, hockey team! Rimu also gained second place in the basketball which showed the girls were certainly not lacking in enthusiasm. Although Rimu lurked in the background in the Bates House Cup, a number of girls did gain term and exam mentions which was a help. I would like to take this opportunity to remind members that for each detention obtained, the House loses a mark. I would like to thank all girls who gained work bars, lifesaving awards, gym award , pockets, umpire whistles and places in the Myers Cup. Congratulations to all Rimu girls who completed the Cross Country course to qualify for a House point. Finally, I would like to thank my vice-captain, Jan Archibald, for her help and support during my term as House Captain. Awards) 1967 Swimming: Pocket reawarded: R. Forrester.

The results in the annual match against the Old Girls for the Betty Thomas Tennis Cup were an improvement on the previous year. Again the Old Girls won by 8 sets, 81 games to 4 sets, 64 games. This year we are looking forward to another enjoyable morning of tennis with them. The Senior Section of the Inter-House Tennis was again won by Rimu while the Junior section was not completed. At the end of last year the Senior Championship was won by Anne Lawrence with Felicity Maples as runner-up. The Intermediate Section was won by Adrienne Thatcher from Anne Farmer and the Junior title by Gaynor Stanley from Hilary Ackroyd. Tennis for 1967 began very successfully when our team won the Tennis section of the summer Quadrangular Tournament. We took six players to Dunedin and the first four played singles and doubles and the last two only doubles. The highlight of this season's tennis was a visit in September by the New Zealand Davis Cup team, B. Fairlie, 0. Parun, K. Woolcott and H. Brown. We had a large number of spectators including girls from Girls' High and Rangi Ruru. A great many girls benefited from seeing their demonstration.

BASKETBALL

OTES,

1967

At the conclusion of the winter term we came to the end of an extremely successful basketball season. All the team provided strong competition in their respective grades. Thi year the Winter Tournament was held at St. Margaret's and it proved most uccessful in every way. St. Margaret's defeated St. Hilda's 36-24 and in the afternoon went on to defeat Craighead 34-28. We were unlucky to lose Cheryl Tod in the match again t Craighead, but she was ably replaced by Jennifer Lawrence.

In the Saturday matches much valuable experience was gained both from participating in the games and from aiding with the umpiring of the lower grades. Although additional players had to be found during the May holidays, we were sue-• ce ful in winning our section. The 'A team plus two reserves travelled to Invercargill for the South Island Secondary Schools' Basketball Tournament. Success was limited but everyone enjoyed the experience. Again this year we were lucky to have the valuable advice of Mrs Escott. The effects of her services being evident in all team . Our thanks go al o to Miss Mangos for her endless help

HOCKEY After a rather shaky start the "A" hockey team developed this year with reasonable succes , culminating in the triangular tournament held on our home grounds. The team was younger than usual, but owing to the unlimited patience and perseverance of Miss Morgan, moulded into one of good combination, though hindered at times by a lack of anticipation. It was unfortunate that we lost our first school match to Riccarton after being two goals up at half-time, but it seems that this could be attributed to a lack of fitness. This however proved to be a good lesson to the team, for on 14th July, after dedication and training, the superior fitnes of the girls shone at the tournament. On the Friday morning we met Craighead and their haka on the field. The weather was per£ ect and with the ground in fine order we had an exciting game, with Craighead leading one nil at half-time. However, in the second half, St. Margaret' penetrated the Craighead defence and goaled four times much

to the delight of the school. In the afternoon we met St. Hilda's on the fast field, and after a very good game emerged the winners by two goals to nil. We wish to thank the staff of all the schools concerned for permitting the tournament to be held, and especially the visiting teams for the ideals of sportsmanship, too often forgotten in the conflict of competition. This year the "B" team was unlucky to draw with Rangiora and like the "A" team was beaten by Rangi Ruru. The "C" and "D" teams both had a good season, both winning their grades. The third form team, although not so successful had an enjoyable season and the girls must be thanked for filling in at practices during the "flu epidemic'. The House Hockey Shield for the second year in succession changed hands after Konini defeated Rimu in a vital play-off. Anne Farmer and Christine Williams were chosen to play in the Canterbury Secondary Schools' Representative team which defeated Ashburton by five goals to nil. The "A" team did not compete in a Secondary School Girls' tournament this year, but next year with the team more experienced we hope to make our debut. A special thanks must go to Mrs Hayley and icky Clark who so willingly gave up the.ir Wednesday afternoons to umpire. Miss Morgan's endless coaching was undoubtedly responsible for the team's uccess. Her true dedication to the game and the team is beyond explaining, but one thing we can all do is to thank her very much, and hope that on top of the minor problems, she en joyed the season as much as we did. Lastly, I would like to thank the girls in the team for being so cooperative, and especially my vice-captain, Vivienne Fleetwood, for her unending support especially when uch things as hockey balls need cleaning and painting.

CRAMER Playing under the name of Cranmer, our school hockey team took part in the Senior Reserve Competition on Saturday . Many of these games were exciting and the opposition fairly experienced. After even wins, 5 losses and 2 draw , the team finished 3rd in the grade behind Harewood and Teacher's Col-• lege respectively. Kerry v\ atson, Dianna McRae, Anne Farmer and Christine Williams were chosen for the Senior Reserve trials, and Kerry Watson and Christine Williams gained places in the team which defeated South Canterbury at Christchurch by 4 goals to 1. This year we were all called upon at least twice to umpire lower grade games and I am sure that thi was really valuable experience for us all. Umpiring is not easy for beginners but we learnt points which helped us with our own game.

A special thanks is extended to all those parents who so willingly gave up their Saturday afternoons and braved the bitterly cold condition of Hospital Corner, to cheer the team through its wins and defeats. Their continued support was greatly appreciated by us all, and without them the games would not have been so interesting. Of cour e the hard work behind the team was Miss Morgan. he devoted her Saturdays to hockey, and it was always on a most welcome sight to see her strolling across Hagley Park. We all wish to thank her very much and to say how we appreciated her tremendous enthu iasm. Thank you to all the girls who played for Cranmer during the eason, and especially those who filled in during the holidays. The following girls played: G. Polson, D. Beetham, V. Fleetwood, A.

Five records were broken and four of these were by Tui Ship ton, who wa a member of the 1966 Commonwealth Games Team. Felicity Bunt was the other record breaker - 50 yards Junior Freestyle. We were very grateful to Mrs Rowe who judged our diving and water-stunt events. We would also like to expres our thanks for the help and encouragement given to the team by Mi Mangos and Mi~ Morgan. Our appreciation goes also to the staff and senior girls who helped in making the day o successful. SE IOR:

JUNIOR SCHOOL GAMES NOTES Swimming: Our sports were held on Tuesday, 7th March. The day was overcast and cool but this did not prevent several good times being recorded. Because of the increase in the Junior School roll particularly in Form I, it was necessary to include more events in the programme. The following records were broken : 50 Yards Breaststroke Form I and II Championship: A. Bunt 39.2secs. 50 yards Backstroke Forms I and II Championship: S. Hunter and V. Oates, 39.5secs. 25 yards Breaststroke, Standards 3 and 4 Championship: S. Bell, 21. 4secs. 25 yards Freestyle Form II non-championship: J. Hudson, 15.2 sees. 25 yards Freestyle, Standard II: F. Bunt, 17.6secs. House Relay: Rata, 1 minute '.37secs. The following best times were recorded: 50 yards Freestyle, Standards 3 and 4 Championship: S. Bell, 36.6secs. 25 yards Breaststroke, Standards 3 and 4 championship: N. Mercer, 21. 6secs. 25 yards Backstroke, Standards 3 and 4 championship: F. Baker, 24.Ssecs. Results: Championship Forms I and II: V. Oates, 17 points; runner-up, S. Nicholls, 6 points. Championship, Standards 3 and 4: S. Bell 15 points; runner-up, S. Perry, 6 points.

Tennis Notes: This year the two Form II's have their own tennis ladders and it is hoped that later in the term we will have a competition between the two classes, also we intend to ask Selwyn House for our usual friendly matches. The Form I and II girls have the opportunity of playing tennis once a week during games lessons, also during the lunch-hour and occasionally after school. It is most satisfactory to note that the girls avail themselves of all these opportunities in a very enthusiastic manner. Because of the unavailability of the two courts by the boarding house this year we have been unable to arrange any coaching after school.

Congratulations to our B team who was runner-up with Rangi Ruru A and elwyn House A with 14 point .

Once again I would like to thank Miss Mango for coaching the team, also the senior girls for umpiring on several occasions. Thanks also to Deaconess Ault and Reverend Kerr, who ran the tournament so succe fully.

Hockey Notes:

We entered in the Primary School competition which was played on a Friday afternoon and organised by the Canterbury Women's Hockey Association. The competition is played in two zones and our team won their zone and went through to the final. This was played one Friday afternoon against Russley with association umpires officiating. We won this match and so once more we are the proud holders of the Championship Shield. I would like to thank the Canterbury Women's Hockey Association for running this competition and also for giving us afternoon tea after the final. The team played well in most matches, but I think the reason for such a successful season was that the girls ( not only team members) were most enthusiastic and at every opportunity were prepared to go out and practise their stick work which is so very important. This year more hockey was played in Standards 3 and 4

ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS LETTER TO ST. MARGARET'S COLLEGE Dear Maggie, . So the school year is almost over. For you, it's just been a typical, run-of-the-mill year. I've heard you complaining about too much homework, not enough holiday time, and those eternal "funds to which we would like you to contribute". And I've caught your enthusiasm on Sports' Days and during field trips and "Salad Days". In fact, I can just imagine you saying now, "Well, it hasn't really been a bad year ... considering!" 1967 has not been a typical year at all for me. Instead, it has been a tremendously exciting, new experience which I shall treasure for the rest of my life. I have been the first American Field Scholar to attend St. Margaret's College, Christchurch, New Zealand. It i still hard for me to believe that I have had the wonderful opportunity of living in a different country long enough to begin to understand its people a bit better, and long enough to begin changing some of my old opinions and forming new ones. I've learned a lot this year; certainly some of it academic, but much more about life. And to me, learning how to live with other people is real education. Can you still remember the first day of school? Everyone was milling around talking with friends and planning schedules, and I was terribly confused ! I f dt so conspicuous in my new green uniform, even though you were dressed exactly the same way. I had never worn a uniform before, and to me those ankle socks and shoes were about the worst things I had ever seen! And of course, for the first few days I felt as if everyone was stealing looks at me and whispering, "Is that her?" So many girls in green! It seemed to take me ages to get names attached to faces, and even now I feel as if I only knew so very few of you. But if I haven't smiled at you or said "hello" at times - I'm sorry. It's not that you're unimportant to me, because you are. You have helped make this year of 1967 something unique and special for me. Thank you for making me welcome, for accepting me so readily as part of the school. And I always appreciated your interest in the States; I loved answering questions about my home-•town and family. Especially a thank you to the Berryman family, who had to "put up" with me for a year, and who gave me my own New Zealand mum, dad and sister.

Before long I will be back in the United States, picking up the threads of my old life and getting back into the routine of American school life. St. Margaret's College and my friends here will be just a memory, and I'll probably only wear my uniform when I'm showing people what the typical New Zealand girl wears to school. But don't think that life will be: just the same for me as it was before I left. New Zealand and you have changed me; you've added to my store of experience, and have instilled in me the great desire of returning someday to my second homeland. My best wishes to you in the years to come. Love, Lynn Bowman, A.F.S. - 1967. ESCAPE I leave the city - the quickened pace the crowding complexity of minds, the conflict of ambitions, the smog of pale deadened faces "earching through its waning light the drowning mediocrity of Suburbia. Outward prosperity - worm-eaten institutions, flourishing on artificial foundations. Everywhere some mirror reflecting and including myself. I run from these humdrum forces which drive me into that nightmarish sleep. I run - to drink the serenity of nature to the full. Sheep quietly grazing, ewes ready with lamb. - to hide on that sunny plateau behind the roar of the tractor and the screeching gulls swooping down upon the upturned worm. - to hide in a cloud of warm fleece, freshly shorn, spread symmetrically over the skirting table. For ever searching and escaping Then, while sitting by the sunset lake, the violet hills fix my distant gaze and show how much more alive they are than I. They tell me I am involved and can never escape from my involvement with life, from that encounter with myself. - Julia Matheson, 6L.

A CYNIC KNOWS THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING AND THE VALUE OF NOTHING The cynic is defined in the dictionary as a "sneering faultfinder". He is the person who can find no pleasure in external things because he ic;;al way finding fault with what is around him. He may "damn with faint praise" or "assent with civil leer", but often he does not even do this. 1

I do not think that we are born cynics, but turn ourselves into cynics. A true cynic is an intellectual ( A would-be-intellectual can only be a would-be-cynic). He may start as a useful human being who can assess accurately what is around him and has his life in proportion. But this sort of person can easily become a cynic. He may enjoy finding fault and being critical, and this may become an obse ion. It is the lack of humanity in a critical person, which makes him a cynic. He knows what is right and wrong and therefore is able to assess correctly, but he lacks the understanding which comes with humanity. This alone could tell him the true value of a thing. A person may have hidden abilities which someone with human understanding could perceive, but the cynic can never see beyond the present; he can see only the mistakes of today, not the improvements of tomorrow. This, of course, makes the cynic horribly narrow-minded. Humility also comes with humanity, and this is another quality which he lacks; he generally takes pride in his criticism. Cynicism was the fault of the Pharisees; they knew exactly what was right and wrong according to their own standards, but they could not see beyond this. If it were possible for the cynic to step outside himself, and see what a different attitude other people have to life, he might understand what he misses in life. The sole enjoyment he can find in life is in criticising others and what they do, but humanity and humility can bring many varied kinds of happiness in life. The cynic could never be really happy, ince he lives in such a narrow world. He may see all the technical flaws in a performance, but he cannot see, what is far more interesting, the personalities of the people taking part in whatever it may be - music, drama, ballet, art. There are innumerable ways in which the cynic misses the essence of life. There is always more to be learnt from life, but he cannot realize this. lt is only with a humble attitude to the world that we can be taught anything. The cynic would never admit to making a mi take, and could not therefore learn from his fault. It is very sad to find such nar-•

row-mindedness when life can be so enjoyable if only we have the right attitude. A cynic is not the sort of person who would make an ideal friend for anybody. It is not pleasant to be criticised immoderately. A little criticism is a good thing and teaches one to think from the point of view of other as well as oneself. However, few people would dare to criticise a cynic openly, and he is not the sort of person to ever wonder what other people think of him, so he can also be an introvert. He cannot see himself as others see him, and ,would probably not be a cynic if he could. The cynic, therefore, is not someone whom we look upon in a friendly way. His attitude to us is hardly likely to be friendly either; it is not in his nature to be so. I have already said that cynicism is not something we are born with; it is something which we acquire if we have the right characteristics. It is the happy innocence and appreciation of a child which the cynic lacks. Every child has these qualities, and as it matures, they are either strengthened by personal characteristics, or lo t altogether. A child rarely know the price of a thing, but normally knows its value. There is a passage in St. Exupery's book, "Le Petit Prince", which illustrates this . . . . "Les grandes personnes aiment les chiffres. Quand vou leur parlez d'un nouvel ami, elles ne vous questionnent jamais sur l'essentiel. Elles ne vous disent jamais: "Quel est le son de sa voix? Quels sont les jeux qu'il prefere? Est-ce qu'il collectione les papillons?" Elles vous demandent: "Quel age a-til? Combien a-t-il de freres? Combien pese-t-il? Combien gagne son pere?" Alors seulement elles croient le connaitre. Si vous dites aux grandes personnes: "J'ai vu une belle maison en briques roses avec des geraniums aux fenetres et des colombes sur le toit ... "Elle ne parviennent pas a si'imaginer cette maison. 11 faut leur dire: "J'ai vu une maison de cent mille franc ." Alors elles s'ecrient: "Comme c'est joli !" The cynic may not necessarily be worldly, like the adults in this passage, but it is the appreciation that the innocent child shows, which he lacks. We are taught in our Christian doctrine to find God in others. If this is o, and I believe it is, then the cynic must either be his own God, or be an atheist, or believe in a very faulty and unsatisfactory God. In most cases, I think the cynic is undoubtedly his own God. - Mary Grace Sus ex, 6L, Winner of Storry Essay.

TRIP TO LANE, WALKER RUDKIN On Thursday, 1st December, 1966, a party of 27 4th and 5th form girls, headed by Mrs Adam, made a tour of Lane, Walker Rudkin. Splitting into two groups, we saw first the wool department, where jerseys and underwear are made. Next we saw socks being knitted, sewed, and finished. We saw stockings being spray-dyed and shaped, checked for snags (which were mended with a patent machine) and packed ready for distribution. In the huge finishing room collars were sewn on woollen garments, and buttonholes made. They were checked and finally pressed and packed. We then saw over a new Health Department with rest ram, doctor' room and off ice. In the tour of the men's suit department we saw suits being cut out, sewn and pressed. We learned the factory is the biggest of its kind in New Zealand, and the head of Lane, Walker, Rudkin. Begun by Mr Rudkin, knitting socks at home, it has grown into a huge firm covering 12{ acres and employing 1,382 workers. The biggest surprise of the trip was in receiving an ice cream each from the firm's huge cafeteria, which at night houses many different clubs for workers. This was an enjoyable trip for which we were very grateful to Mrs Adam and Mr Osbourne. MRS FROG Poor Mrs Frog wa feeling so sad because her husband had gone. Someone had taken him to school in a jar. She had no children so she decided to get a baby, but she couldn't be-• cause Fred had gone, so she thought she'd go shopping to forget her troubles. First she went to the grocers to get some tea, butter and bread. Then she went to the dressmakers to get a frock made. It ,was blue material with red flowers on it. Next she went to have lunch underground, and after lunch she went to the movies, and at last hopped home. After she had seen the movies she had nearly forgotten all about Fred who was her husband. The day was nearly over and she went sadly to bed. In the morning she wore her new dress to town, and while she was there, Fred came home, but she did not know this. When she came back, Fred hid from her, and then hopped out to give her a fright. She was very happy to see Fred back, and they lived happily ever after. - Jan Wardell, Std. 2.

WHY I LIKE DUV AUCH ELLES BAY Duvauchelles Bay could be a scene out of a picture book. Anyone of you sitting in this hall tonight would enjoy it just as much as I do. The houses of Duvauchelle village are strung around the seashore, and rising up behind it are the picturesque hills of Banks Peninsula. Here you get two, very different atmospheres: one of the country, and the other of the sea. It is these two atmospheres which I love so much, and which make Duvauchelle all the more enjoyable for me. I think my favourite pastime is walking. As you can imagine, the hills provide plenty of scope for this. They are wide, rolling, and riddled with sheep tracks. If you care to follow such a path you will probably end up in one of those delightful, un-filled hollows. As sure as not two or three contented sheep will be lazily eating the lush grass. They will take one look at you, turn tail and scramble up to the pasture just above their heads. Walking around the sea-coast is very pleasant too, especially at low tide when the rocks are exposed. I usually take a book with me and scramble out to the very last one. Once there I ettle down to a read. It may look a bit odd sitting out there in the sun hine urrounded by water, but at lea t I enjoy it. Boating is the love of my life, and summer is the ideal time for this. Whether I'm in the long, pencil-shaped kayak, the humble dinghy or even our peedboat, I am comfortably at home on the water. You of ten see some very amusing sights watching the skier~. The young enthusiast, his first try on skis, raises himsel~ tentatively out of the water. Just as he i beginning to think, "dh, this is easy, what do they make such a fuss about?" there is an almighty splash. Sometimes he does a somersault or a cartwheel; I've even seen some manage a backward flip. There is of course swimming in summer, and I have found my own little bay where I can enjoy myself, and have privacy. Winter is the time for rambles. I remember one cold and blustery day, when I was walking across the hill , I came upon a little yellow signpost. On it was written, quite simply, "Piper's Valley". The name appealed to my curiosity, so I took the unassuming gravel road before me. Within ten minutes I was transported back into a different era. Around me stood ancient cowsheds and crumbling homesteads. It may have seemed very romantic, to me in this day and age, but I'm sure it wasn't to the

I almost expected to hear the pipes playing. Let us now imagine it's sunset. I'm usually to be found sitting on the boat ramp as near as I can possibly get to the water. Above me the gulls are wheeling, below the sea is slaping at the piles of the boat hed. I am urrounded by nature.

THE DAY FATHER

GOT THE BREAKFAST

It was my mother's birthday. For a surprise my father and I decided to make my mother breakfast in bed. We got up at seven o'clock and went into the kitchen. To start off with we had a full-scale argument. I wanted to make a cooked breakfast and Daddy wanted to have bottled fruit, cornflakes and cream. In the end we decided upon Daddy's suggestions. As I went to get the cream out of the refrigerator I heard a loud crash behind me. Dad had knocked down a huge tin of flour on top of our little dog, Misty. At once dad picked up a wet dish-cloth and started wiping Misty all over. Then, all the flour, of course, turned into gooey paste and poor old Misty looked like an uncooked pudding. When we had cleaned Misty up nothing much else happen-· ed until we started making the toast. I turned the toaster on to warm up while Dad cut the bread. Then Dad cut his finger and I had to bandage it up for him. He was very brave about it and soon all was well again. Things then began to happen. The toast in the toaster succeeded in getting tuck and clouds of thick, black smoke filled the kitchen. Misty ran under my feet and tripped me up, the cornflakes fell all over the floor and I had left the tap on and water was all over the place. What a mess! Dad and I set to work at once and in about half an hour everything was back to rights. Well, at last, we presented Mum with her breakfast and I think it was well worth our effort to see her happy face. -

Our plays begin, the curtain must rise! Cowboys and Indians trooped up the back-stairs and arranged themselves on the stage. The curtain was raised and the play started. The audience laughed and cheered and thought that this play was exceedingly good. At the end the audience gave great applause and clapped cheerfully. It was now time for our play. Soap-Sun Sprites, Sprites of the Sunny Smile, Wattle Fairies, Flannel-Flower Fays, Gay Fly Gnome, Old Mr Sundown, The North Wind, Fairy Queen and Wara!ta Witch crept silently up the back-stairs. The curtain was raised and the Wattle Fairies sang a song and did a dance. At the end the audience clapped and cheered again. The next play began and we could hear shouting, clapping, cheering and great applause. Part of their play was the wolf attacking red riding hood in granny's room. At the end again there was a burst of applause. Mother and Susan thought all of the plays were exceedingly good. - by Sandra Piesse, Std. 3.

THE SCHOOL DANCE Since the school dance only comes once a year, it is a very important occasion and the hall is carefully decorated for the evening. Everything is perfect .... if you have a partner. As you swirl round the floor, bumping into everyone else, and blackening your beautiful new bargain-price shoes with nugget from College booits, you catch glimpses of the colourful and witty decorations hanging on the walls. The red lights give a romantic glow, and even if he is a foot taller than you are, and all you can see is a tie-pin, it is wonderful if he is good company. The music is rousing, and of course it isn't too loud. The food at supper is the best you have ever eaten, and all you hope is that he will ring you later. It is very different when there is no charming beau. It is most embarassing, and generally very cold, watching others happily dancing along, and wondering what in the world is wrong with your dress, hair, or anything else. This solitude, however, can produce some interesting reflections. Often some most profound theories are inspired by sad occasions, and school dances can create the right atomsphere. The teachers sometimes do not help by sitting in their secluded comer trying to talk above the noise, and occasionally observing your behaviour with a seasoned eye. One of our school dances could be interestingly compared with the "ball" described in Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice". The event is no less important than it is for us, and the same amount of gossip is carried on over the evening's proceedings, but the actual dance is very different. The dances, themselves, are of the dignified kind which allow fo,r conversation in a normal way. The whole evening is more leisurely than modern "balls". Our dances are not really satisfactory entertainment for everyone. By the end of the evening, most of the girls have managed to find partners, but it is dismal itting for one or two hours, waiting to be asked to dance. Perhaps the girls should bring their own partners, or perhaps the boys should be taught that it is only polite to ask girls who are standing alone to dance, if they themselves have no partners. I see no great hazards, either, in having a programmed dance, which is more likely to give a satisfactory evening to all. This has been tried in some girls' schools, and has been found to be most successful . Fancydress ball would eliminate some of the problems of dressing for a dance, and there is no harm in varying old traditions. It is a great pity that the art of conversation is apparently

Then, as if he knew that I was going to consent, his eyebrows, like newly-fallen snow with brown blotches, rose into Norman arches, and his black eye-lids slowly drooped, shutting out the personality behind. His long banner-like tail lifted with jerks from the ground, as if uncertain of the advantages of flying, until it came to the height of my knees. Then with gathering speed, it moved horizontally towards my knees. Suddenly the tail curved, dropping with lightning speed to my bare feet. The wisp-like end plunged for my instep and once there moved rapidly back and forth like a pendulum. My uncontrollable gasp of laughter, brought the black lids sneaking up, and as always, I experienced the feeling that he was peeping from under the lids, though goodness only knows how a St. Bernard could squat behind his eye-lids to look out at the world. An 'all-right boy', brought the lids up with a bang, like an escaped blind, his huge paw~t started twitching, his tail thumping with bangs that set the ',fthniture not nailed to the floor or tied to the wall, jumping.

Empty fish shells are slapped monotonously on to the sand at the water's edge. Pebbles sink heavily into the wet sand. All the glorious colours of the seaweeds tangle together in untidy masses along the line of broken shells, pebbles and shapely pieces of driftwood. Occasionally above the noise of the wind and waves can be heard the mournful cry of a hungry seagull. Some of her wet, bedraggled feathers are tossed head over heels along the sand, together with last summer's ice-cream sticks. A flash of lightning breaks over the sea. It lights it up for a fraction of a second, exposing the powerful colours of those huge walls of water. Seconds later the thunder comes, and echoes all round the dark, deserted beach. On this cold, misty day, nature has her own way of life, without the interference of human beings, for there are no people to admire this fascinating ,wet, wild, and windy beach scene. - Anne McDonald, 5L.

Cars blow their horns and traffic speeds by, People impatiently heave a great sigh. For lights stay red when they should be green, What a hub-hub in a city scene. - Ann McGlashan, IE.

THE HAAST

During the August school holidays twenty of our girls with about the same number of girls from Chilton, St. James' School, Lower Hutt, travelled around the Haast. We were accompanied by Mrs Jameson and two of her daughters, the headmistress of Chilton, St. James', Mrs Clark, and her son, and Mrs Del, another teacher 0£ Chilton St. James'. The most fascinating part of the four-day tour for me was the long walk to the Franz Josef glacier terminal. That day we had left Fox Glacier and had travelled in typical West Coast weather through the native rain bush to the Franz Josef. One thing you notice about glacial rivers is their grey colour which comes from the glacial debris they carry. At the Franz Josef Glacier it was raining hard, but we were still undeterred in walking to the terminal. During the halfhour walk there, we crossed many streams all of which were fairly rapidly flowing. At one stage we saw a small hot pool, although it was near the W aiho River. The small shingle and gravel quickly found its way into our shoes. Higher up we walked on larger rocks and rocks worn flat by the ice. At the terminal the weather was kind to us and the rain stopped for just over a quarter of an hour. You have to see a glacier in close proximity to realise its tremendous size. One way of gauging its former size is to try to judge the height of the valley walls. We went up onto the glacier in groups of about six girls. I do not think I realised how slippery a glacier can be even though it is solid ice. The girls with colour films in their cameras had a wonderful chance when the sun came out. The crevasses in the glacier are a photographer's paradise with their many blues. Unfortunately it began to rain again on the walk back to the bus but we were too happy to notice this. Near the car park was a lovely waterfall spraying over the road. The most unfortunate part of this walk was the odour of damp woollen garments in the bus afterwards. One result is that very soon I will have to have my school shoes resoled as the rocks wore away part of my soles. The experience of this walk was wonderful and I would love to do it again if only to find my missing pillow. -

CREATION It take.show many men To make a biulding small? But when God made the universe He had no help at all. He took a ball of softened rock And rolled it in his hands, He placed it in the empty sky To harbour all his lands. He placed all Nature's beauteous things, On the urface of the world, And planted in the sky above Two great and powerful lights. And on the sixth day He formed the creatures, Crawling, creeping or flying things And made an image which he called Man. And on the seventh day He rested The work He had made had ended, He had a world, a people or race, He had a un, a moon and stars. So because He rested from His work, He blessed and sanctified this day. - Ann Johnston, IIN. BEACH SCENE The setting sun glistens down on the golden grains of the sand. The shore is quiet and lonely.

The children have left now, after an exciting day at the sea••side. A lonely sand castle is left standing deserted. It is the evidence of the children's pleasure ofthe day. Surrounding it are little footmarks on which the builders have constantly padded the sand down. Sea birds squawk as they fly overhead. The day is passing quickly now, and darkness is drawing on.

You must watch where you tread as there are numerous crabs running swiftly from rock to rock. The hermit crab carries his home with him - a hell which protects him. Close by, a parrow twitters as it hops lightly across the sand, then in flight soars high over the stately rocks and disappears from sight.

ROBERTSON

There is nothing extraordinary about Justin Robertson; he is a large man of deceptively stupid appearance. You might pass him in the street tomorrow, and think "There's a hefty great fellow", but you would never look over your shoulder at him. Physically, Justin is a good specimen; he has a broad rectangular body and a rectangular face, somewhat rounded at the corners. He has soft brown-black hair, a fine quality skin, brown eyes and he sports a beard. His torso is worthy of Michael Angelo's David, and is a sort of scrubbed brown-the remains of twenty years' un. He stands on thickly-built legs, but he escapes any excess of fat-for he wrestles and runs down the road to the girls' hostel to keep fit. It is said that one can read character in a face. This is certainly not true of Justin. He looks out on the world blankly from small, heavy-lidded, round eyes, set far apart on his face, with his lips slightly and foolishly ajar. It is a stupid and rather lovable face, the man behind is different-very different. His father is to blame for the flippancy, the lecherous nature of the man's facade. He appears as a "couldn't-careless" youth of little taste and less courtesy - but he isn't. His strong no e is the only thing about him which betrays him-except perhaps for the clamping of his mouth and the narrowing of his eyes which come when he is really affected. He rarely shows that he is affected - he pretends to believe emotion does not exist. However, to return - the real Justin is a solid stableminded, rather lonely man who lurk far in the background. He is a student of Sociology, with very ordinary taste. He reads detective novels, text books and some "middle-brow" literature. Art means little more to him than the 'stuff we did at school' or 'those awful Picasso-•ish splashes they sell exorbitantly nowadays'. Poetry is also school-children's business, but if he had his way, he might read a bit of Browning. Theatre he does enjoy - admittedly only what one is supposed to enjoy - not 'this cheap avant-garde nonsense'. However, he is a patron of the cinema, and goes to everything, though managing to criticise and discriminate. He is a good guitarist, and sings reasonably. No he is not devoid of talent, and not unintelligent, but un-• inspired. He fancies himself, sometimes, as a great lady-killer, but

only sometimes. He hears, with digust, himself boasting about his sexual prowess. He is basically moral. Being a mentally lazy person, he does not worry about 'such useless things as philosophies'. Instead he borrows someone else's opinions and approaches, and suppresses, immediately, and without violence, any original thoughts of his own. This borrowing helps keep up the half-unconscious facade. The Church to him is only an old-fashioned nuisance existing for elderly ladie and gentleman farmers. What he really thinks about it, he does not know; he thinks) that is hi opinion. All through the man, however, there are signs of something better; something that rescued from mental lethargy, other people's opinions, pressure from father and friends, could do something worthwhile. It would be a pity if he did not. - Imogen de La Bere.

WESTERN OR SPY ? Although many people have commented on the many similarities among variou American spy and detective television programmes, and many more have commented on the similarities among Western programmes, nobody as yet seems to have noticed the similarities between Western and spy programmes. For example the hero of each is a rugged, handsome, intellectual specimen calculated to make the heart of the female viewers flutter uncontrollably. If you find it hard to believe that

cowboys are intellectual, watch "The Virginian". The only difference is that the spy is more sophisticated than the average cowboy. Girls play a large part in both types of programme. There are three basic types: the sweet and innocent girl ( in the spy programme she is an innocent bystander, in the Western a childhood sweetheart or a newcomer to the town) ; the evil woman who is either an enemy agent or a saloon girl associated with bandits; and the basically nice girl who, owing to some unfortunate quirk of fate, has ended up on the wrong side ( an enemy agent or a saloon girl with crooked companions) but she is always reformed in the end. Of course the hero falls in love with one or other of these types, but as his romantic image must not be shattered the unfortunate girl is doomed to be accidentally shot and die in his arms at the end of the programme. Sometimes the scriptwriter is merciful, and then she merely goes to live somewhere else, but this is rare on the spy programmes as with the speed of modern travelling and the efficiency of corn-• munications it would be ea y for the hero to follow and find her. Sometimes the scriptwriter is downright benevolent, and then the hero gets the girl in the end, but she has always mysteriously disappeared by the following week. But the climax of the Western or spy programme is the gunfight. This is u ually preceded by two or three fist fights and the knocking on the back of the hero's head by the butt of a gun at the moment when he is least expecting it and you are waiting for it to happen. However, the gunfight is the time when the scriptwriter can clear up all the details which are bothering him by killing off all the troublesome character . Bullets fly thick and fast, then the hero tells his friend to "cover" him while he either ( if a Western) sneaks up behind the villain, or ( if a spy programme) triggers off the secret weapon which will save them. He runs in a ridiculously exposed way to his destination, while the villain, who could easily shoot him with0ut breaking cover, instead chooses to aim all his shots at the hero's friend, who is behind some thick protection anyway. The villains are killed or captured and the hero's true love interest for the week is also shot and killed ( unless, as I have already mentioned, the scriptwriter is feeling benevolent) . When you come to think about it, writing for a television series must be a wonderful job. - Pamela Brathwaite, 6L.

IS IT GOOD TO BE YOUNG ? I wonder just how many of you sitting here tonight are thinking back to your youth and wishing you were just a bit younger, wi hing you could tease up your hair, lap on your make-up, put on your unconventional clothes, jump on the back of a motorbike and go roaring off to a night full of fun. How many of you are wishing that you could get away with anything; that you didn't always have to be dignified and setting a good example. How many of you are wishing that you could have half a dozen boy friends and twice as many mini-skirts. Or do you even wi h you were a gawky, shy, uniformed choolgirl like me, addressing a number of seriou , frowning parents, looking severely at me over the top of your spectacles. Or then again,

do you wish you were a handsome young medical student or a very little girl in a crisp, party frock, a dirty little boy sucking sweets or an innocent child playing with toys and dolls. I would like to divide youth into three basic age groups the group of five- to twelve-year-olds, the group of thirteen- to nineteen-year-olds, and the group of twenty- to twenty-four-yearolds. The five-year-olds to twelve-year-olds are in an age of carefree enjoyment. I see them neat and tidily going to birthday parties, or just as dirtily playing football. They are sitting in class begging to be the one to run the message, and are generally enthusiastic about any activity. The next age group is the so-called teenagers - a puzzle for many narrow-minded adults - one minute all independent, the next needing extra parental care; one minute gay, the next depressed; all striving to be individualists in a conformist society. Teenagers do not all loiter about with a cigarette in one hand and a transistor in the other, dirty and long-haired, leaning against the most convenient post, usually the wall of a coffee bar. It has been proved consistently that this popular misconception refers only to a small minority of teenagers. The majority are healthy, happy young people with definite aims, who are usually studying at chool. The thrid age group is the twenty-• to twenty-four-year age group. This is the age when wild teenagers settle dawn, either to jobs or serious study, with their future in mind. Students, young trainee and workers are accepting responsibilities and duties of society. I think this age is both a very pleasant and a very difficult one to be young in - we have to fight against propaganda and influence, and bad things such as drugs. But what a wonderful host of amenities we have to enjoy and to educate ourselves in. Young people, particularly, enjoy port and its facilities - gymnasiums, wimming pools, parks, clubs and training courses. Besides working off the cream buns it amuses them, keeps them fit and provides a challenge. Young people are healthy people, people who in summer can surf and water-ski, and in winter can tramp and skate. They can enjoy relatively few important responsibilitie with the most possible enjoyment. It is the age when you have a host of markets and entertainments designed expressly for you. Young people are the people who can go to parties and barbecues, to clubs and organizations arranged on a

world scale to cater just for them. They find pleasures in mixing and finding new friends. At what other time could you be forgiven getting up late, slapping every new-named cosmetic on, stepping into your mini-skirt and on to the dance floor? How many adults have excused the rather strange and alien couple they meet with the thought of, 'Let them enjoy themselves and have fun while they can, while they're young'. Yes, I think most older people are a little bit wistful when they think of their youth, and all the think they dared do and got away with. How they enjoyed those days, when the world existed only for them, and when they orbited from the swimming pool to the library, from the fashion shop to the dance floor, when all their oddities were forgotten with the significant phrase dispelling all doubts - 'On well! They're young-and we all were-once.' Yes, whether we like it or not we all have to be young at some stage, and I think it is very enjoyable. And whether we like it or not, the young of today are the thinkers of tomorrow, and I could join with the Monkees in singing, "We're the young generation, and we've got something to say". -

THE FARM Today we went to Mrs Scott' farm. The first thing we did was feed the roo ters and peacocks. We fed them with wheat and bread. On the way to the farm I saw a truck with some heep in it. And we saw some sheep at Mrs Scott's farm too. And we held some lambs. I held two lamb. We saw some heep being shorn. We aw two sheep being shorn and I like watching them too. We aw some calves drinking milk and we saw tom cat and I held him two times, too. I liked the lambs and the peacocks best of all. When I went into the sheep's paddock, I go stuck with the heep and I had to wait till the sheep had gone. We aw the sheep dog rounding up the sheep to make them go in the right direction. And there wa a urprise after we had our morning tea. The urprise was some tiny little chicken . They were coloured black and yellow. -

THE RIVER The river starts inland somewhere "Just a little one", they say It flows down narrow valleys there Where the farmer's children play. It gurgle over stones and rocks It pours out drinks to thirsty birds. The farmers come to cool their Hocks and break the peace with farmers words! which echo in the valleys high, by all the animals they're heard. The large pine trees take up the sigh And pray for peace to be restored. As time goes on it finds the flat No more we find it running down the mountain valleys - here's a hut And here it dodges round a town. It flows through land with sheep and cows There a farmer plows his field. He neatly cuts the earth in rows He prays to God that it may yield. While it flows on towards the :,ea With salty brine it will combine The humans snatch its energy. And make it drive their huge turbine The tired river now flows on. And saunters under bridges 'i:en It's near its end - it's feeling wan. It's tired of being used by men. It wants to mind its own affairs, It's sick of all formality, It's tired of taking humans' wares, It's seen each nationality, It finds its peace in deep blue sea, Where its' safe at last from you and me. -

1967

On behalf of your Committee I have plea ure in pre enting a report of the Association's activitie for the year, together with the Statement of Accounts and Balance Sheet a at September 30th, 1967. Our total member hip, excluding Branches, now stands at 1,213. This number is made up of 689 Life Members and 524- Annual Sub cribers. A few re ignations were received and 41 name were removed from the list as sub criptions were three year or more in arrear . Spiralling co t of printing and po tage make thi step a neces ary though regrettable one.

Obituary: During the year we have lo t everal of our members, including Leah ora Dickey (Chrytal), School Lit 12; Dorothy May Doughty (Rennie), 193; Anna Mildred Gilchrist, 1,217; Phillipa Ra! ton Fairbra s (Jone ) , 3,158.

VlSlt to Christchurch several years ago. In reply to a message of sympathy from the Association, the Sister-in-Charge wrote that "her last days were peaceful and free from suffering", and said how much they all value "the love and loyalty of the Association and its individual members". To any members who have suffered bereavements during the year we offer our sincere sympathy. Annual Reunion 1966: The Founders' Day Service on Friday, November 4th, in the School Chapel was well attended by Old Girls, particularly so by those who have recently left school. Afterwards the Staff most kindly entertained us all to supper in the Library. This gathering, which is to be repeated again this year, makes a most happy and friendly start to our Reunion social activities. Holy Communion was celebrated on Saturday, November 5th in the School Chapel and we are grateful to the Reverend Peter Toovey for taking the Service. About 60 Old Girls, Staff and Prefects were present. Morning tea followed, but the Tennis Match had to be postponed because of rain. Played on the following Saturday, it resulted in a win for the Old Girls. There were some excellent matches including a mother and daughter battle between Mrs Margaret Lawrence and Anne. Our team was: Mrs Margaret Lawrence (Captain); Sue Rich, Beverley Lee,. Betty Neale, Dornthy Jameson, Phillippa Lane, Helen Rich, Christine Reay, Elizabeth Russell, Catherine Cox, Jan Young and Robin Annand. The Dinner and Annual General Meetiing, held at the White Hernn Hotel on Monday, November 7th, were attended by 140 members . It is perhaps appropriate to point out that with our growing numbers it becomes increasingly difficult to select a place for our Dinner which can accommodate both us and our pockets. Miss Mullan has kindly put the School Hall at our disposal and the time is rapidly apprnaching when sheer numbers may, as happens with many Old Boys' Associations, make this the only possible solution. Not so glamorous certainly for thase who have just left school, but considerably more headache free for your Committee. During the meeting, Miss Mullan spoke of the School and its activities, and Miss Corder of her meetings with Miss Crasher in England and on the Continent. Presentations were made to retiring Committee members, Jill Penman, Margaret Wagner and Jan Green, and to Mrs E. A. Lee, the retiring President. Warm tributes were paid to them for the work they had done for the Association. Starry Shield: We were hosts for this year's match which was played on February 11th, at the United Tennis Club Courts. It was a perfect morning, highlighted for us for several reasons. To our delight Mrs Young was present, Margaret Lawrence this time partneerd her daughter Anne ( probably a first such partnership), and we won the shield. Those playing for the Association were-Margaret Lawrence, Felicity Holland, Anne Lawrence, Eleanor Mcfarlane, Wendy Morgan, Christine Reay, Dorothy Jameson and Joan Botting. Our thanks are due to Mrs Lawrence for the time and trouble she takes each year in arranging our team, and to her husband also. He not only made out the match chart but gave up his morning to organize the games, in between of course, keeping an eye on his wife and daughter.

New Old Girl/ Party: This was our first function for the year and ~.gain took the form of a Buffet meal from 5.30 p.m.- 7p.m. in the Horticultural Hall on March 6th. An invitation was sent to all girls who left school last year and about 60 were able to attend. This meeting i most worthwhile as it enables the new Old Girls to meet the Officers and Committee of the Association, and is in the nature of a follow-up to the visit to the school by the President, Secretary and Treasurer in December, when the activities of the Association are outlined to the girls who arc about to leave. We were delighted, as were the girls, that both Miss Mullan and Miss Corder were able to be present. Debutante Ball: This was held at the Winter Garden on March 30th and was a most memorable occasion, since this was the first time we had had the pleasure of presenting our debutantes to our new Bishop and Warden ,the Rt. Rev. Allan Pyatt. His and Mrs Pyatt's friendly and easy informality charmed both girls and fathers alike, while the few words he spoke after the group photograph had been taken could not have failed to make a deep and lasting impression on the girls. The debutantes, whose posies were as usual the gift of the Association, were trained by Mrs E. A. Lee and we are most grateful to her for the care and skill which she brought to this most important task. Our thanks are due also to the many other Old Girls who helped in various ways, but especially do we thank Mrs Alison Ayling and Mrs Marjorie Harkness who helped the artistically gifted members of the Committee with the really outstanding floral arrangements. Both the Ballroom and Supper-Room could never have looked so charming. Luncheon Party: This was held at the Russley Hotel on April 28th and again proved a popular function being attended by about 80 members. The weather was kind and we were delighted to have Mrs Young with us. Morning Tea: A large number of members gathered at the Horticultural Hall, on June 30th, to hear Cynthia Roberts (Head Prefect 1965), the first Old Girl to do Voluntary Service Abroad, speak of her experiences in Fiji. Cynthia gave a most interesting and entertaining account of her year away and charmed everyone with her modesty,. her sense of humour - and her sari. Annual Ball: "Days of Wine and Roses" was the theme for our Annual Ball held in the Winter Garden on June 10th, and in what seemed to your Committee a miraculously short time the Ballroom and Supper Room were transformed. This year in an attempt, in the interests of comfort to limit numbers for this always very popular function, tickets were restricted to four for each invitation and were to be purchased by a given date. Not all members followed these instructions and a considerable amount of trouble was caused as a result. If numbers continue to increase it may be necessary in the future to restrict tickets ( as other Associations do) to members only. Sherry Party: We decided to forego the Dine and Dance this year and hold only a Sherry Party which took place at Riccarton House on July 27th. Numbers were fewer than the· previous year but those who came thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately the date clashed with a Parents' Meeting at School which prevented some of the staff from attending, but we were glad to welcome Miss Mullan and several of her less burdened colleagues for a short time.

Kindred Associations: Two representatives from each of 12 Kindred As ociations were entertained on September 15th at the home of one of our Vice-Presidents, Mrs Margrita Scott. We are most grateful to her for putting her charming home at our disposal, and the function was a mo t happy and friendly one. Golf Day: Our annual Golf Day is fixed for Monday, October 9th, at the Windsor Golf Club. Mrs Margrita Scott is in charge of arrangements and we hope to have a large entry again this year. The winner of the Partridge Cup and Spoon last year was Mrs Judith Vogan, while the Addeh Perkins Cup wa won by Mrs T. J. Kirk-Burnand. Boarders' Reunion: Acting on a sugge tion made at the Annual General Meeting your two country representatives, Mrs Margaret Thompson and Mrs Natalie Mcllraith organised a Boarders' Reunion. This took the form of a morning Coffee Party on July 12th and wa held, through the kindne s of Miss Mullan, at Warren House. It was an outstanding success, about 90 came including two who made the journey from Wellington, for the occasion (Mrs Joan Deldyck [Roll] and Mr Gladys ScoH [Stowe[]). Mrs Brooke ( Principal Matron) and Mrs Foote, Matron of Warren House, made u warmly welcome in every sense of the word; people were quite free to wander in and out of the Boarding Houses and grounds rediscovering with obvious delight their old haunts and taking note of the renovations and changed location of their Chapel. We held the gathering as an experiment and had not intended therefore to make any charge. This, however, was too much for several very enthusiastic exboarders including the Wellington contingent who insisted that people should be allowed to make a donation if they so wished. As a result, in the last few moments of the gathering $10.45 was collected. This ha been placed in a special fund called the Boarders' Amenitie Fund which we hope will grow and from time to time be supplemented from Association Fund . A a direct result of this, a move has been made to hav several pictures which had to be taken down because of broken frame , refurbished so that they may once more hang in their accustomed places. Visit to Timaru: Timaru has been the only Branch visited so far thi year. Six Committee members, Mrs E. A. Lee and myself, went to Timaru last November and attended their Communion Service which was followed by luncheon and their Annual General Meeting. We had a most happy day. The Branch is not a large one but the members are most energetic and gave us a very warm welcome. Both Mrs Lee and I poke and we were able between us, to give an account of our activities and new recent development at the chool. Earlier in the year we were delighted to have a visit from Mrs Joanna Innes-Walker from the Auckland Branch, who on her return took back our greetings to all Auckland members. Gift and Charities: The Association has continued to support various charities and the Committee sold Health Stamps on the first day of issue. A Canterbury Public Library Picture Subscription has been given to the School which will enable a changing election of pictures to be hung in the School and Boarding House . Miss Mullan wrote that he greatly looked forward to seeing the various choices which would be made. Cates and Fence: It i. with great delight and a tremendous sense of gratitude to Mrs Lee and her sub-committee, that we are able to report

that the Gates and Fence along the whole of the Winchester Street frontage are now complete. They form a dignified and impressive entrance to the School, and when the landscaping now in progress is completed, the whole effect will be very fine indeed. The Association is deeply grateful too to the School architect, Mr Stewart, who drew and re-drew the plans without charge, and supervised the work while it was in progress. He has been most generous. In acknowledging this gift to the School the Board wrote that "the Old Girls have provided an ,amenity which gives pride and pleasure to all who are connected with St. Margaret's". These Gates, as members will be aware from their notices, are to be dedicated at the Founders' Day Service, on November 3rd. Weddings: The many calls on the School Choir to sing at weddings has prompted the drawing up of a memorandum for the guidance of Old Girls who wish to avail themselves of this privilege. Copies may be obtained from the President or Secretary. In this connexion Miss Mullan has kindly offered the use of the renovated and enlarged Boarders' Chapel to any Old Girls who may wish to have a small wedding. Requests should be made direct to her. St. Margaret's College Trust Board: During the past year I have attended Board Meetings as your representative. At a time when the School is making a great new step forward in its development, it has been a stimulating experience. Appreciation: Miss Mullan has been, as always, more than a Patron in name only. Her ready help and cooperation in innumerable ways have been of tremendous help to the Association and we greatly appreciate the interest she takes in all our activities. Our thanks are due also to the Board, for the use of the School for several of our functions, particularly during the November Reunions. Mr M. H. Vile, our Honorary Auditor, and Mr C. L. Sturge, continue most willingly to give help and advice on money matters, and Messrs J. Ballantyne & Co. Ltd. cheerfully sold Ball Tickets - not always as easy and straightforward as it sounds. We thank them all most sincerely, as we do the Lady Editors of the Press and the Star, and the husbands of Committee members for their support and help on many occasions. To all others who have helped during the year and there are many, we express our gratitude. The number of functions held were chosen in an attempt to cater for as wide a cross-section of members as possible, and this has imposed a considerable burden on the officers and committee. ( In this connexion members are reminded that they can ease the work o.f the Secretary very considerably by replying promptly to invitations to functions). They have worked together as a team and the success of the various functions is due entirely to their unremitting and willing work and I thank them all most sincerely. My personal and particular thanks go to the two Margarets, Logan and Lawrence, whose help, advice and support have been invaluable to me during the past twelve months. No-one could have been better served by a Secretary and Treasurer than I have been and the strength and vigour of the Association as a whole reflects their loyal and willing service. ISOBEL MATSON, President. Endowment Fund: Many Old Girls will be pleased to learn that this fund, inaugurated by that great-hearted Old Girl, Gwen Rankin, has to date enable $600 to

be handed over to the School through Miss Mullan. This has been used to provide a tape recorder ,a projector and a new curtain for the stage in the Hall. This was used for the fir t time for that excellent production, "Salad Days", presented at the end of Term II. Already this fund is proving of value to the School and the Trustees hope that it will continue to grow so that an increasing income will be available to provide amenities for the school which mcty not be readily available from any other source. At the end of the financial year a further donation of $50 was made to this Fund.

ARMAGH CIRCLE

In spite of the influenza which was prevalent in July, the Armagh Circle held an enjoyable morning tea at the ational Club Rooms. Altogether about 36 members attended. Reference was made to the passing of Sister Janetta and sympathy extended to her family. To Mrs F. Wilson (Mollie Rankin) and family we extend our ympathy in the lo s of a husband and father. Also to the family of Mrs Dickey ( Nora Chrystal) our sympathy in the loss of both parents within a short space of time. My very grateful thanks to the ladies who help in telephoning members ,also to Mrs Rich our other convener. We are looking forward to our November 21st meeting when we hope to have a full Armagh Circle gathering. DOROTHY F. JOH STONE, Convener.
