This has been an abnormal and a disturbed year for most schools, and we have considered ourselves fortunate in that we have been able to remain in our own building. It is true that for the first half of the school year we shared it with St. Edmund's College, a High School from Liverpool, but this was an interesting experience and gave us the feeling that we were doing something to help in a national emergency.

Before the war, it would have seemed almost impossible for two schools to work happily in a building barely adequate for one. However, the Head Mistress, Miss Hennings, and .her staff, were full of consideration for us, while we realized that their difficulties were far greater than ours, and by means of frank discussion of the problems that arose, we were able to overcome them to a very large extent. I hope that our Liverpool visitors have pleasant recollections of their stay in Chester. During the Autumn Term, there were about two hundred and twenty St. Edmund's girls with us; in January their number was reduced to between sixty and seventy, and in February they were all able to return to their own School as their shelters were then ready.

This is the first opportunity that I have had of thanking the parents of Queen's School girls for their help and co• operation during that difficult period. I hope too, that some of the householders of Chester who offered hospitality to the St. Edmund's girls, will see "Have Mynde" and will realize how much their kindness was appreciated.

For the last few years, the Kindergarten and Prepara• tory Department have had the use of the Linenhall Yard at the top of Stanley Place during their break in the middle of the morning. This has now been taken over by the military authorities and is no longer available for us. Mrs. Brown's generous gift of a small playground at the back of 7, Stanley Place was therefore very opportune and has given much pleasure to all who use it.

We were too busy during the winter to have any enter• tainments, and our enjoyment of Mr. Wallace Peat's Wessex Puppets, on Thursday, March 28th, was all the greater.

Our Prize-Giving was postponed from the Autumn Term and was finally held in the School on Friday, March 29th. 4

We were grateful to Mrs. Brown for presiding, to Canon Simpson for leading the prayers, and to Mr. J. H. Dickson for presenting the Prizes. We were very sorry that lack of space made it impossible for us to invite parents and friends of the School, to our informal war-time ceremony.

In the Easter holidays, Miss Gee, with the help of Miss Foulkes and Miss Trubshaw, again led a successful expedi• tion, this time to North . Most of the party climbed Tryfan and Snowdon, though some preferred a less ambitious route.

It was disappointing that the Old Girls' meeting in London could not be held this year, but we are looking forward with pleasure to our Annual General Meeting and summer gather• ing on July 5th.

WAR COMFORTS. Ever since war was declared, in September of last year, we have busied ourselves with the making of woollen comforts.

We began with knitted squares from which we made twenty-five blankets for evacuees. Some of those blankets were, later on, sent to Norway.

All this year, in several Forms, from the First upwards, various articles have been knitted, and now, in the summer, the knitting is being confined mainly to sock-making. In one Form each girl hopes to produce two pairs by the end of term. 9

Up to the present time the following articles have been sent away from school:— 32 helmets; 42 pairs of mittens; 40 pairs of wristlets; 2 pairs of gloves; 3 pairs of socks; 18 scarves. But, in addition to these, many girls have knitted gar• ments for their own relations and friends in the Services. Forms which are not knitting are busily making and filling with minute chips of material, small limb pillows, hospital bags to hold the possessions of the patients, and hot water bottle covers. CD.

GAMES, 1939-1940. TENNIS. Summer Term, 1939. Every Form settled down well to stroke practice, although in each Form there were a few girls who did not attempt to apply their coaching when they played in a game. The school lst VI did quite well in most of their matches, and there was a promising Junior team. Senior and Junior House matches were played and quite a good standard reached in both.

HOCKEY. Autumn Term, 1939. Although conditions were rather unusual and at times difficult, each Form managed to get one games day a week. There were extra games on Saturday mornings, and these were played most enthusiastically. VI Form. This Form really did show keenness and were willing to improve, with the result that seven members played in the lst XI. V Upper. Although the standard of play was only fair and the game lacked energy, the Form did show keenness. Only three members played in the 1st XI. V Lower. Apart from a very few keen and energetic players, the Form as a whole were poor. They were far too content to play a lazy and thoughtless game. IV Upper A. The Form as a whole are disappointing, because they have not shown much improvement in their game. There are a few keen and energetic players who must now improve their stickwork. IV Upper B. I hope this Form realises that they do not possess any hockey players, and that when they reach a higher Form they will not represent either their Houses or their School. Lower IV A and B. There are many promising players in these Forms who play a quick and enthusiastic game. They have now reached the stage of realizing the attributes of a good player, and if they continue to improve they will soon find themselves valuable members of the lst XI. Remove A. , Most members of this Form are keen, but they do not set themselves a high enough standard and are not energetic enough. They listen quite well to coaching. Remove B. A few members of this Form are promising, but on the whole they are lacking in energy and interest in their stick• work. 11 III A and B. These Forms started enthusiastically and practised stick• work well. They should now realize that hockey is a team game, and they must learn to pass the ball more quickly. lst XI. G. Pauline Astbury.

LACROSSE. Spring Term, 1940. VI Form. This Form played well throughout the term and there was a definite improvement in most players. Upper V. Too many members of this Form were content with their weak stickwork, with the result that there was no improve• ment. Just a few members were keen and practised well. Lower V. This Form has some good players. The standard of the Form as a whole would be higher if only passing could be :more accurate. TV Upper A. .This Form practised their stickwork with keenness. Their game is spoilt by a lack of speed and energy. TV Upper B. This Form again were poor and lacked energy and •enthusiasm. They must improve their stickwork if they •expect to play in a game. 12 Lower IV A and B. The keenness and interest in practising of nearly every member of these Forms has made many players very useful in a game. They have all reached a good standard of stickwork. Remove A and B. It took most members of these Forms far too long to pass their tests. A few members have quite good stickwork, but they must be more energetic in a game. Ill A and B. Most players managed to pass their test by the end of Term. Stickwork was fairly good and there are some very promising players. lst XII. G. Margaret Gerrard. P.T. Irene Barton. C.P.T.

THE LITERARY SOCIETY. During the early part of the Autumn Term we were too busy adapting ourselves to sharing our buildings with St. Edmund's College, Liverpool, to arrange meetings of the Literary Society. We later hoped to invite St. Edmund's Sixth Form to a joint meeting, but the difficulties of the black-out prevented us from doing so. It was, however, possible to arrange a General Meeting during the Spring Term. The play "Outward Bound" by Sutton Vane was read and very much appreciated. CYNTHIA HULLAH (Secretary). THE DRAMATIC SOCIETY At the end of the Spring Term, "Playgoers,"-a one-act comedy by Pinero, was presented to the school by members of the Dramatic Society. JOSEPHINE NEWITT (Producer). 13

FARMING IN WAR-TIME. With the coming of the war, the vital need for an increase ' in the home production of food has been vividly realised. The farmer has been asked to increase his out-put as much as possible, particularly of feeding stuffs and root crops. In the majority of the farms are dairy farms, where the farmer concentrates on the production of either milk or cheese, usually keeping pigs and perhaps sheep in addition. Because of the war, however, all farmers, with very few exceptions, have been ordered to plough up at least ten per cent, of their grassland. In common with a great many other farmers, my father, who has a farm of about three hundred acres near Chester, this winter ploughed for the first time for very many years. Naturally these farmers lacked the implements and experience necessary for tillage farming. However, in spite of the long frost, the allotted land has been ploughed and the seed sown, and for the most part it is growing well.

Since the milk supply is of vital importance, as far as possible, the usual number of cows is being kept; but stocks of pigs and poultry have had to be greatly decreased. Our thousand pigs have been reduced to about six hundred; and by the Autumn, according to Mr. Hudson, the new Minister of Agriculture, food will be obtainable for only one third of the present stock of pigs and poultry. In order that cows may br- kept healthy with but little corn next winter, good hay and plenty of it must be gathered this summer. For the last three years we have possessed a grass-drying plant. Grass dried by this means is of much better quality than ordinary hay, and the crop can be gathered even in the worst of weather.

Not only poor weather but also a shortage of labour may ruin the ordinary hay harvest. The labour question has always been one of the farmer's greatest difficulties, for, particularly of late years, more and more workers have left the land for the town, with its higher wages and shorter hours of work. So that the farmer may gather his harvest securely, and also be adequately staffed during the war, farm workers are to be forbidden to leave the land for other industries, and those once engaged in agriculture and now in other occupa• tions will have to return to the land, if they lose their present work. The Government is also giving agricultural exemption to farm workers liable to be called up, arranging for camps of secondary school boys to help in the summer holidays, and appealing for land girls. My father still has his usual staff, and, as a result of the recent Government measures, hopes to retain most of them during the coming year. 14

The war has brought with it far more Government supervision over farming, as over other industries. To ensure that farm produce is evenly distributed, permits have to be obtained, and forms filled in before any sales can take place. Notice has to be given before livestock are placed in the open market; and prices are regulated, so that farm produce may not become outrageously expensive to the consumer. These Government measures are necessary; but it may seem unfair that the farm labourer should be compelled to remain on the land instead of earning higher wages in, for example, an aircraft factory. The Government has fixed new minimum wage of forty-eight shillings for agricultural workers which, though an improvement on the old rate, is not yet equal to what might be earned in another industry. But it must not be forgotten that the cost of living in the country is considerably lower than in the town. A farm labourer's rent rarely costs him more than a few shillings, particularly if he occupies a cottage provided by his employer, and he can buy his milk and cheese at wholesale prices, while he often has a fairly large vegetable garden; so that he is in reality in a better position than might appear at first sight. Farm workers with only one or two children can, at present, manage quite comfortably on their wages; those with large families are in a much more difficult position. Since the large family of the agricultural worker is of great importance to the nation some scheme ought surely to be devised to support it.

MARION WALLEY {Form VI Lower).

THE SNOWDONIA HIKE. A is for all who from Aber did hike, B for the bus the weak-hearted did like. C for Caernarvon, chocs, coffee and cake, D for the dinner we all helped to make. Each took her part in the work to be done, For that, so we found, was half of the fun. G for Miss Gee to whom praises are due, Here's to her, Miss Foulkes and Miss Trubshaw too. I is for Idwal, ensconced in the wood, Jagged behind it the Glyder cliffs stood. K is for knees which gave 'neath the strain, Limping along down Y-Garn through the rain. Music we had by V Upper provided— Noise was more like it, on that we're decided! 0 for the orderly duties we shared, P for potatoes for dinner prepared. Q is for Quellyn alongside the lake. Round its grey waters our way we did make. 15

Snowdon's high summit we gained with a shout. Tryfan with snow and crag compassed about. Upon its peak 'neath the grey sky we gazed At valleys beneath us the distant slopes hazed. Welsh was the sermon, a puzzle indeed, Xcept for Miss Gee, upon that we agreed. Y for Youth Hostels—how the week went. The time with much zest and pleasure was spent. Form VI Lower.

THE TOAD. As I was walking down a road, I saw a most enormous toad. He had a very wrinkled skin, Two goggle eyes, an ugly grin; He was about as tall as I, His legs alone were two feet high! He was so big, and broad, and fat, I'd never seen a toad like that. 1 hurried quickly on my way. But soon was told, to my dismay. That naughty boys, while at their play, Had teased me with a toad of clay! JOAN WILLIAMS (Form III B).

MAXIMILIAN. I was christened Maximilian von Whitewhiskers, a beautiful name for a beautiful cat.

Imagine my displeasure when to-day I heard my mistress remark, "It isn't patriotic to keep a cat with a German name."

How those silly humans argued, and in the end they decided I must become a Frenchman and be called Maxime de Favori Blanc. I bristled with rage at the insult, for I much prefer my own name, so shall refuse to answer to anything but plain Max.

My mistress, Molly, does some strange things. Recently she introduced into my garden two queer creatures; one she called a tortoise and the other a hedgehog. I always thought a hog was a pig and this one certainly has some piggish manners, for when I poked it to say "Good morning," it pricked my poor paws unmercifully. I spent an hour licking it better while the wretched beast drank my milk. 16

The tortoise is merely stupid. I can't make it do any• thing but hiss, and pull its ugly head inside the house it carries on its back, though I've jumped on it, sat on it, clawed it, and tried to drown it in my bowl of milk.

Yesterday I had an amusing adventure. I went upstairs to visit Molly's mother, while she had her early morning cup of tea. Out of the corner of my eye I saw she had creamy milk on the tray,and I always think cream tastes sweetest out of a jug, so I gave one lovely leap into the middle of it all! Up in the air flew everything— tea-pot, cream, cup and saucer and tray landing on the floor with a bounce! It really was enough to make any cat laugh. The jug broke neatly in two, and I had just begun to lap the contents when Molly's mother pounced on me with a howl of fury and hit me so hard that I decided I must catch a thrush to pay her out, for she loves birds; so do I, but I think they are much more use inside me than flying about!

Human beings have some funny ideas, and no sense of humour at all. MOLLY WOOLHOUSE (Form Remove A).

PRETEND. "Let's pretend," the children say, When out of school they start to play. The boys are soldiers, great and bold, And sometimes kings—a throne they hold. Girls are dancers on the green; Each day they chose a new Rose Queen. And when their parents call'them home, They feel so tired they quickly come. ALICE WALLEY (Form III A).

THE CANARY AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE. It stood in a corner, a brightly decorated gay thing. The canary, swinging in his cage by the window, had often wondered about it. Ever since that day, a week ago he reckoned it to be, when a man had brought it in, dressed in a sack. Then the sack had been removed, and it had stood there in its green tub, bare. He hardly recognised it now. Bells and glass balls hung on its branches. Little toys and animals were tucked in between. Mysterious parcels hung from it, wrapped in gaily coloured paper and tied with silver string. But there standing on the top-most bough, was a gorgeous glittering figure standing on one leg, with the other 17 pointing outwards. In her hand she held a silver wand. The canary chirupped with delight every time he looked up. Oh! how he envied that tree! Before, it was he who received all the admiration; now it was the Christmas tree. As he looked the door opened, and with many cries of joy, twelve children poured into the room, and stood, fixed with delight looking at the tree. Then a lady came in and, one by one, took off the presents and handed them to the children. They unwrapped them with many cries of delight. But soon it was over and they all went away. The canary had watched all this through the bars of his cage, and now wondered with curiosity what was going to happen. However, nothing happened that day. The next day the lady came in again bringing a box with her, and slowly removed all the things from the tree. Then she went away again. Now it stood there bare, and did not look at all attractive. Soon two men came and carried it away. How glad was the canary that his wish to be a Christmas tree had not been granted! GENE HAMILTON (Form IV Upper B).

THE ELF. As I was walking by myself, Down a quiet glade, I spied a tiny laughing elf, Beneath a mushroom's shade. The wee'est man I've ever seen, With tattered jacket white. And ragged trousers made of green, He skipped right through the night. Perhaps I trod upon his beard, Or maybe he was shy. For all at once he disappeared, And never said good-bye. ELIZABETH SCARRATT (Form IV Lower A).

MEMORY. I walked among the pine trees, And scarce a sound I made. Along that lengthy avenue Of dim, cool, shade. I stepped between the fern fronds, Along the path inlaid. Right down that dreamy avenue Of dim, cool, shade. 18 • For there my love once waited. Within that lovely glade, Beyond that heady avenue Of dim, cool, shade. And there it was we parted, And there it was we prayed That God would let us meet again Within that shade. PATRICIA THOMPSON (Form IV Upper B).

THE VILLAGERS* CHAPEL. It was Sunday afternoon. village was dozing •under a hot May sun. Several dogs were sprawling on the dusty grass by the road side, twitching their hides and snap• ping at the flies. As I reached the top of the hill, parched and dazzled by the sun, a faint murmur of voices reached 'my ears. It came from the small red brick chapel partly shaded by flowering white cherry trees. The blistered door was flung wide open, and as I reached it, a soothing breeze swept through the shady porch, caressing my burning face. How cool were the shaded steps to my blistered feet! With• out more ado, I slipped into this haven and sat quietly down on the bench in the angle of the wall. Six pairs of eyes turned round to look at me. Even the preacher halted in his text to gaze at me in surprise. A newcomer! The sole chapel war• den handed me a hymn book with ceremonious care, and not until I had found the hymn did the service continue. We all sang 'Onward Christian Soldiers." The children's voices rose far above our own; in fact one small girl wearing a large pink bow, continually laid such force on the word "Onward," that her brother had to suppress her with an occasional nudge or pinch. In the intervals of the sermon while the preacher was thinking out his next sentence a bee bustled frantically on the pink and green window panes. While the last hymn was being sung, I slipped outside, refreshed in body for the rest, and in mind because I felt the sincerity of this small gathering. DOREEN PARKER (Form V Lower).

A WARRIOR OF ATHENS. Inside the Wooden Horse, Up there in the height, Inside the Woode'n Horse, There I spent the night. Then when there came a flame, Down, down, out I came, Out of the Wooden Horse. 19

Up, up, along the street, Where, where, the great gates meet There, there, on running feet, Oh, Oh, Oh, Hurrah! Here comes the soldier!

I am a soldier fine. Every brass link just in line. Now I am going home, To where the sea is shown. Now, now, Troy is-won! All through Athens' son! Praise be to Athena! None was ever keener!

THOUGHTS AND THRILLS. One wild day after school, as I looked out of the window at the raging sea, I had a sudden craving to go for a walk. I asked if anyone would come, but everyone said it was too cold, so I went alone. Down to the beach I wandered, and as I stood there alone the only sounds were of the waves and the screaming seagulls. Something made me take off my hat and coat and dance and sing to the sound of the waves.- I looked out to sea. No ship was there, only the lighthouse which stood like a tall sentinel resisting the pounding of the waves.

Then I put on my coat and carrying my hat I went to• wards the harbour. As I sat on the sea-wall I looked at the Old Wine Tower. This Tower is a tall square building on the edge of a rock above the raging sea. Like all old build• ings it has a legend, which tells of a beautiful girl who lived in the castle near at hand. Like all beautiful maidens she had a cavalier lover, but he did not come up to her father's hopes and this horrid man said that on no account should they marry. He locked his daughter in the tower we now know as the Wine Tower. The cavalier he disposed of by torture. The maiden was so grief-stricken that she ended matters by throwing herself over the cliff into a deep and terrible hole at the bottom.

I saw the lighthouse's bright beam shining across the sea. Getting up I walked slowly home, and often I think of that afternoon. JEAN TARRAS (Form III B). 20

LINES TO MEASLES. Measles is a pink complaint, Makes you feel as if you ain't; Makes you feel all hot and bothered, And you have to keep quite covered. In a while the rash appears. Worse than all your pinkest fears. Looks like sunburn gone all wrong, And the days seem, oh! so long. Your eyes, they run and smart at light, And vaseline's put on at night. When you do begin to mend, You sit in bed and see a friend, Or talk, or draw, or knit, or eat, And when you get out on your feet You wobble, wobble, everywhere, Until you're bundled back in there. The bed feels warm and comfortable. You have your meals upon a table That stands on tiny weeny legs Upon the bed. You toy with eggs And very little scraps of meat And dainty bits of things to eat. Kind people come and give you sweets And many kinds of nice sweetmeats. Then soon you're free to go away To get quite strong and well and gay. Sea air and plenty of good food Will quickly cure and do you good.

SPRING. As over the fields I wandered one day, Some new-born lambs were happy at play, The cotton-wool clouds were racing a breeze Which whispered a song to the budding trees.

A sparrow was teaching her young ones to fly, The sun seemed more brilliant in its sky, And as in my joy I tripped gaily along, The whole world was full of a lovely Spring Song.

KITTY RUSSELL (Form III A) 21 OUR BLACKBIRDS. Every year, in early April, we have two blackbirds that live in our garden. Last year the mother bird had four babies. I was in the garden one day, when, in a thick rose bush, I heard a rustling. I crept up, and then, out of the bush, came the father blackbird, who beat his wings hard in my face. However,, I parted the brambles and looked in, and there, to my wonder and delight, was the mother, squatting on four greenish-blue eggs with brown spots on them. They were in a nest of moss, grass and twigs, as neat as could be. Next day I again visited the nest, and the babies were hatched. The mother was not there, so I looked at them for quite a long time. But suddenly there was a flapping of wings and 1 looked round to see the father bird. Then I hurried off, for I did not want to be pecked by Mr. Black• bird, who was a fierce fighter. Every day I visited the nest, and every day the birdlets grew and grew, for the mother and father fed them well. One day, the father flew out of the bush, carrying the babies one by one. He set the, four birds on the ground and then taught them how to fly. First, he showed them how to use their wings, then how to take off from the ground and then he took them on his back, one by one—to get them used to being in the air, I suppose. The next day the mother taught them, and in a week they could fly as well as their parents. Then they were taught how to catch food, and in another fortnight they were sent out into the world. But their parents still remain here, and still awaken us with their sweet song. ANN AVERY (Form II). MY DREAM. Beneath the apple trees I lay Upon a hot and cloudless day; No breath of wind had stirred the trees, (Oh, dear, the buzzing of those bees). My eyes just closed against my will, Saw visions of cool days at Rhyl, Where in the sea amongst the foam My thoughts are far away from home. The salty waves splash over me, I find I'm no more in the sea, But dancing o'er sweet-smelling heather. As light and airy as a feather. The wind blows softly on my cheek, I'm sitting on the topmost peak 22 Of a mountain filled with fairy fays; I hear the sound of minstrel lays Across a lake of azure blue. The next thing I shall always rue. For down and down and down I fell. And then, as though beneath a spell, The lake was coming over me. I smelt the salt tang of the sea, And heather was filling all the air, The wind danced o'er me lying there. Then everything had changed to blue, I can remember no more 'till you Awoke me again beneath the trees. (Oh, dear, the buzzing of those bees).

A THOUGHT. The trees were waving leafy arms, The ground was thick with dew, The birds were singing morning psalms, The sky was a golden hue. I climbed to the top of a nearby mound All covered with spider's web. Then I gazed on the glorious scene around And thought of those home in bed. If they were but here on this mound with me Watching the sun arise. Instead of drinking their morning tea And rubbing the sleep from their eyes ! MARGERY DAVENPORT (Form IV Upper A). DWARF-TOWN IN VIENNA. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. We did not quite know how we should spend our time. At last we decided to go to an amusement park. There, we wandered around, watched a few roundabouts, and tried to shoot with rifles at the nose of a fat hunter and other card-board figures. As we walked along we noticed an advertisement with the attractive descrip• tion: "The smallest town in the world." We went near it and saw on top of the entrance,built like the entrance in a town hall, a tiny man as big as a ten or eleven years old child. He was dressed as a town-crier and through a speak• ing-trumpet he invited the people who were standing outside to enter. We bought two tickets and went through the gate. Then we stopped surprised. We found ourselves on a tiny market-place and tiny people, as big as the town-crier were walking about. On the left we saw a slightly old-fashioned 23 town hall and in the middle of the place a fountain. Every• thing was built for the size of the people in the town. The houses were built on both sides of a street. We went into a post-office and bought there a post-card with the stamp and post-mark of that tiny town. On our walk I noticed a tiny gentleman, dressed in black, walking with a fairly tall nor• mally-sized man. Those two, the gentleman looking like a giant near that doll-like figure and talking about politics, as they were, seemed rather funny to me in the first moment, but then I remembered that size does not always matter in intelligence. Later we visited the open-air theatre. Tiny artists came on to the stage and did things as in a zoo, comedians showed their cleverness, and jugglers their skill. We had tea in a doll cafe and were served by waiters, smaller than ourselves. We stayed in that dwarf-town until it got dark when we had to go home. Many years afterwards I still remember the pigmy town. LIA Low (Form IV Upper A). ESCAPE FROM GERMANY. On the first of April, 1939, my father received word that he would have to leave Germany, after having worked there for almost eighteen years, because foreigners .were no longer desired in war industries. I think it was the best April-fool joke I ever heard. As we were not allowed to take the money that my parents had saved for years out of the country, we decided to spend it on travelling around Germany and Austria visiting our friends for the last time. We returned to Ham• burg and our empty house a few days earlier than we had expected because conditions suddenly looked rather serious. When our large trunks were packed, three officers came to inspect them to make sure that we were not taking any money out of the country with us. We feared that we might never see our heavy luggage again, and therefore decided to take as much as possible in the train compartment with us. My Mother and I each carried a rucksack on our backs, and there were four suitcases besides. A huge crowd of people was waiting on the platform of the station in Hamburg on that hot afternoon of August 28th. Many of our friends had taken us to the station and they stood around telling us that they would write often during the months to come. Can you picture us? My Mother had a huge rucksack on her back that rattled with every step she took, because it contained all the family silver in an iron chest; I also had a pack on my back and then there were the four suitcases. Our friends brought chocolate and fruit; we didn't know where to store it but we were very grateful. 24 Suddenly a lady with a small bov in her arms came up to us and asked if we were travelling to . We answered that we were and then she began her story. This little boy was her nephew. His mother was a German lady who had married an Englishman and the child had been spending the summer with its grandparents in Hamburg. Naturally the mother wanted her child back again in the face of danger, but as the grandmother could not leave Germany, would we please take the child with us to England and deliver him safely to his parents? Of course the grand• mother would accompany us to the Dutch border, but then she would have to return to Hamburg. After a few moments of thinking, my Mother decided to do the good deed. The boy's luggage was handed over to us, and then we had six suitcases and a bag full of toys. A woolly dog's head stuck out of the bag. My Mother was given "the address of the boy's parents, and then the train pulled into the station with lots of noise. It was already full of soldiers and sailors travel• ling to Bremen and the border. Everybody rushed to the two doors of the carriages. Some people even climbed through the windows, because it was impossible to get through the doors. I was being pushed from all sides and the lady next to me was yelling "I have a wooden leg; don't push me, I have a wooden leg." A Dutch gentleman (he was not at all gentle) was pushing me aside and saying in Dutch, "Oh, go away, you little twitt. I want to get on this train." Finally the Granny and I were on the train, but my Mother and Dora and the six suitcases were left outside. When I saw that there would be no chance of their getting on, I had to get off again. By that time the train was moving with people hanging on to the steps and windows. I jumped off and somebody threw one of my suitcases out of the window to me. The Granny and the little boy stayed on the train and We never saw them again. The stationmaster came along and told the many disap• pointed people that there would be another train in about two hours. We went to the station from which this train would start and although there was a fearful crush there as well, we managed to get on, and were soon rolling over the tracks to the Dutch border. Alas, the train did not go any farther than the border, and we had to spend the night in a small village. We changed the thirty marks we had been able to take with us into thirty shillings and had a bit of money to see us through. Next morning we caught a train and after sixteen changes caught the last boat across the channel from the Hook of Holland to Harwich. We crossed in complete darkness with all the portholes tightly shut. The boat we came on was the last to sail, and we were very glad to have caught it, and especially glad to arrive 25 safely in England. Our father met us in Chester and he was relieved to have us with him again. Well that finishes my story, except that I want to tell you that the little boy and his Granny returned to Hamburg from the next station at which the train stopped. A few days later he arrived in England by aeroplane from the continent. We sent his luggage, which we had carried with us all that time—even the woolly dog—to his Mother, and she told us all about his adventures in a letter a few days later.

ASSOCIATION NOTES. When every Queen's School Old Girl is doing her share of war-time public service in some form or other, it would be invidious to single out the work of any special member. Yet, perhaps, old school-fellows will be interested in the work of some of the more distant members which has come to our notice:— Doctor Marjorie Sudds is head of the Emergency Public Health Laboratory at Aberystwyth. Gwynneth Quinn, a sister in the Territorial Army Nur-, sing Service, has lately returned from active service in a base hospital in Northern Norway. Margaret (Welsby) Browne has a post in the Ministry of Food. (We may remark that she held a like post during the last war!). Peggy Gray also has a post in a different capacity, in the same.Ministry. Marjorie Wallace is working in Blackpool under the Ministry of Health. Eleanor Davies-Jones is heartily congratulated on hold• ing the much-coveted post of House-Surgeon in the Children's Hospital at Birmingham. Phyllis (Dodd) Bliss is also heartily congratulated on having two pictures well hung in this year's Royal Academy. The subjects of the pictures are—"Prudence in her bath," and "Gardens under snow." Queenie Millichamp is Head-Mistress of Navigation Road Council Infants' School, Altrincham. 29

The Honorary Secretary would be only too pleased to make a complete list of the war-time occupations of all the members, if only they would give her the necessary details! On 29th May, 1940, an interesting ceremony took place at the Grosvenor Museum, Chester, when the Mayor (Mrs. Kate Clarke) accepted on behalf of the City, a bronze bust of Professor Robert Newstead. The bust is the gift of Alderman Peter Jones and has been executed by Blanche Jones our well-known artist, who, it will be remembered, did some charming sketches of the Queen's School to commem• orate the School Jubilee.
