FOREWORD Stover's fortieth birthday falls in the current school year . At a time when we recall with gratitude those who founded the school and those who have guided its development to the present day, we remember especially two of our Governors who have recently died . Comparative newcomers like myself never enjoyed the privilege of meeting Rear-Admiral Sir Lionel Sturdee, but those with a longer association with Stover can testify from personal experience how much we owe to him . Mr. Brown was known to all . Fervent in business, he was a familiar figure, not merely at Governors' meetings but on numerous school occasions . To Stover he became and remained our Uncle George, an appellation in which he delighted . His love for Stover was fully reciprocated, so that, even in our sadness at his loss, our memories of him are, as he would have wished, happy memories of a gay, ebullient and devoted friend. With the rest of the Governors, Mr. Brown was deeply involved in last year's major project, the acquisition of a minibus . Our fears that industrial disputes would deprive us of our prize proved groundless : the vehicle was delivered at the end of last term and in service at the beginning of this . Our thanks go to all who contributed to its purchase : to pupils who went on a sponsored walk in a heatwave (and we are glad that those whose strength failed obeyed instructions and came back, so that there were no tiresome stretcher cases) ; to parents who financed this effort and others, such as the wine and cheese party organised by the staff ; to the Horse Show Committee for theirs, the biggest single contribution ; to the Old Girls' Association for the art exhibition. This exhibition of paintings by pupils of Stover, past and present, bene- fited the school in several ways ; the high quality and variety of the works on show was an incentive to further achievement, the proceeds enriched the mini- bus fund and Stover gained three new paintings . The Old Girls' Association bought and presented to the school "Westerfield Under Snow" by Evangeline Dickson, "Boats in the Moonlight" by Pauline Collins, and "The Dart" by Virginia Edwards—Mrs. Donne, who organised the exhibition . We know that Mrs . Donne will be happy that her picture was the spontaneous choice of pupils, as well as having the unanimous support of O .G.A. and staff. The generosity of the O .G.A. has been, as always, paralleled by that of the Friends of Stover. Few schools share Stover's good fortune in having the support of such an association, and details of its work will be readily sup- plied to parents and other interested persons who desire a steady improvement in amenities and want further information . Last year the Friends donated sixty lockers for the boarders and, aided by Mr . Robertson, sixty folding chairs for the dining room. Each new school year brings changes In July we said goodbye to Mrs. Kline, whose latest baby was born on the last day of term, and to Mrs . Walden, Mrs . Wright and Miss Green . Apart from Mrs . Wright, whose new post is, unhappily for us, far away in Co . Durham, we know that these former staff will retain personal contact with Stover. This autumn we welcomed to the staff Mrs . Davies (History and Latin), Mr . Wood (Mathematics), and Mrs. Pike (Matron) and, to the Governing Body, the Venerable A . F. Ward, Arch- deacon of Exeter . Numbers have increased, a trend which we hope soon to see reflected in an expanding sixth form . Successes gained by the small number who have recently stayed on after `O' Level clearly indicate that others could benefit from remaining. This is one only of the directions in which we look for advance . Stover would be unworthy of its founders if it were to celebrate its fortieth anniversary as a festival of self-congratulation . Constructive criticism ranks high among the abilities which we try to develop, and an awareness of deficiencies is a stimulus to achievement when reinforced, as it is here, by confidence in present and future potential and by pride in our past . C . A . SMITH. October 1971

REAR-ADMIRAL SIR LIONEL STURDEE, Bt. The notice of Sir Lionel Sturdee's death in "The Times" used the word "steadfastly" to describe his passing . If any one word could describe his living, this would be the one I would choose.

Sir Lionel was more to us than a Governor of the school. We loved him, and we knew he loved and cared for us . He was wise, and kind, and full of the grace of courtesy . We never had the feeling that by making demands on his time and patience, we were tiresome to him; he gave his full attention to our needs.

When he could no longer serve on the Board of Governors his interest continued as deep as ever and he was always eager for school news.

The school has lost a dear friend and would, I am sure, wish to extend sympathy to Sir Lionel's family in their sorrow . P. E . DENCE.

MR. GEORGE BROWN George Brown, Governor and Friend of Stover School for over twenty years, passed to his rest in September and is certainly missed by us all . He lived nearby and loved an excuse to pop in to see that all was well . "Uncle George", to several generations of girls, he turned up at matches, plays, parties, services and Governors' meetings with his beaming smile and general air of optimism and enjoyed whatever he came to take part in . He had high standards and nothing but the best would please where Stover was concerned . "That won't do" has a familiar ring as he hears of a badly finished job or an action unworthy of our school . One of George's last engagements was a School Governors' meeting when he was really far from well, but his concern and interest were as constant and lively as usual . It was only after a slight fall that it was realised just how poorly he was . Those of us who have known him for so many years are grateful to have worked with such a cheerful and dedicated colleague. J.M .K .

SPEECH DAY

May 23rd, 1971 Once again this year, parents, friends, staff and pupils were gathered together in the dining hall on the Friday morning before half-term . This year, however, there was no religious service since a programme of songs and dances had been prepared for the afternoon . The Dean of Exeter . Mr. Marcus Knight, kindly offered to distribute the prizes, after which he presented his speech. After lunch the dining hall was rearranged for the afternoon's events whilst parents were invited to look around the art and needlework exhibitions. As soon as the audience had reassembled the musical programme began. Russian dances were followed by songs from Scotland and a variety of other items . After the proceedings had been brought to a close everyone left to spend a few restful days at home . MELIAN PAPPIN, UVI.

FRIENDS OF STOVER During the year December 1970-December 1971 the numbers of or] Association have remained fairly constant, losses owing to deaths or to familie ;s moving overseas having been replaced by new members . It is felt by the committee, however, that more efforts could be made to publicize the existence and work of the "Friends". Poster displays on special occasions, reference in the Headmistress's report on Speech Day were suggested, and the possi- bility of a member of committee making a short statement to assembled parents. With Miss Smith's approval, the Head Girl has been co-opted on to the committee, together with a member of the Lower VI, to represent the pupils. The Friends' gifts to the school during 1970 had been 60 lockers, 60 stacking chairs for the dining hall, and a contribution of £50 to the minibus fund . At the Annual General Meeting on July 13th, suggestions made by the headmistress, and sent in by parents, were discussed, and approval give to the following projects : Purchase of a second-hand sewing machine, £12; pouffes for the Junior Common Room, £12 ; furniture for the Prefects' Room, £30 ; picture frames to display the work of art classes, £15 ; 20 more lockers, £55 ; rostra for drama classes, £45 . At the time of going to press not all these purchases have been completed, but it is hoped they will be so by next term . Enquiries are being made about a possible cover for the swimming pool, which had been one suggestion. The Friends of Stover have had two sad losses during the year—Rear- Admiral Sir Lionel Sturdee, who had been one of our earliest members, and whose support and interest remained constant to the end of his life ; and Mr. George Brown, who died in August . Mr. Brown, who represented the Governors on the Friends' Committee, had been a most regular supporter and one who would go to any trouble to further the projects in hand . He will be greatly missed by us, and we should like to express to Dr . Marjorie Brown, and to her daughter, Mrs Rooth, one of our past pupils, our sympathy with them in their loss. We are very grateful to the Bishop of Truro and Mrs. Key for their kindness in allowing us to use their bungalow for our committee meetings, and the cups of tea with which we sweeten our labours . P. DENCE .

BUILDINGS AND DECORATIONS Although there has been no major structural alteration to the school in the past year, a considerable amount of redecorating has been carried out. Several of the dormitories were painted during the holidays and everyone will have noticed that the Round Passage and the III . Form room have received a face-lift. A great deal of money was spent on a new pump for the swimming pool, a facility which is greatly enjoyed by the girls in the summer term . In the way of equipment new acquisitions include a large new fridge for the kitchens and a very useful deep-freezer for the Domestic Science Department. In the forthcoming year there is to be a major overhaul of Clock House and possibly some alteration in the layout of the main entrance of the school.

THE MINI-BUS At last it has arrived! The long-coveted mini-bus for which we had been raising money for some years was delivered to the school at the beginning of the Autumn Term and is proving to be worth its weight in gold . The school raised £850 towards the £1,400 that was needed for the bus, the remaining sum kindly being lent by the Governors . The necessary money was collected by various means—a sponsored walk, the Horse show, the school fete, the staff's wine and cheese party, the Old Girls' Art Exhibition and other equally important events . Thanks are due to all who contributed effort and money. The bus has been earning its keep throughout the term, taking teams to games fixtures, parties to the theatre, ferrying groups to , to Art Exhibitions, to concerts or to Newton Abbot for shopping excursions . It has been especially useful to those sixth formers studying home economics, for most weeks they pay a visit to some sort of public institution connected with their course, be it a fire station, a hospital, or a nursery school, and they have been able to make use of the mini-bus for these trips which have consequently been much less expensive than in previous years . In fact, we're sure that every- one would now agree that the mini-bus is indispensable to the school and well worth the long wait .

THE CHOIR The choir have been attending practices of choral works at Dartmouth Naval College with the Britannia Choral Society for several years . However. the most recent performance, the Mass in B Minor by Bach, was to take place after the end of term, on Palm Sunday . This meant that only six members of the Lower Fifth form with Miss King could take part . In spite of this minor setback the production went very successfully and we all enjoyed the meal afterwards which was provided for us by the Naval College. Throughout the summer term we were in great demand . In the first week we were asked to sing at a wedding at Dartington . A number of us had never attended a wedding before, so it was a very interesting experience. Later in the term we were invited to sing at Coombeinteignhead . The Rector of the parish was retiring and he wanted something a little different for his last service. At a service in Mr. Donaldson's church in Ilsington we sang the Nunc Dimittis and the Magnificat A number of people from Exeter came to sing at a Madrigal party which Miss King and the choir organised . Miss Dence kindly offered to conduct and help us. We sang the last madrigal in the portico overlooking the main drive of the school. Finally we should like to thank both Miss King and Mrs . Last for all their hard work in making membership of the choir so enjoyable and rewarding. CELIA HICHENS and PAULINE WOODS, UV.

THE ORCHESTRA This year there have been many opportunities for the whole orchestra and its individual members to play at concerts and recitals in connection with Miss Wall's orchestra, "The Linden Players". Last summer a group of players went to Coombeinteignhead church to play in a farewell service for the Rev . G . T. Perry on his retirement . (The choir were also in attendance) . Later in the summer term the Linden Players, together with some girls from Stover, gave a charity concert at the East Street Baptist Church in Newton Abbot . Pieces included Boyce's Symphony No. 5, a concerto for two flutes and orchestra from the "L'Arlesienne" suite by Bizet. In October there was another fund-raising concert, this time in Coombe- inteignhead, in order to raise money for the village hall . This concert was extremely enjoyable and unusual in that all the music was French and members of the orchestra were encouraged to wear French costume . Pieces played in- cluded a minuet by Lully, a Capriol Suite by Warlock, part of "Carnival of the Animals" by Saint-Saens, "La Cinquantaine" by Gabriel-Maire, and the prelude from Bizet's "L'Arlesienne" . The actress Damains Hayman came to introduce each item, Mr . John Puddyfoot sang several French songs, and Mrs . Kelly played a flute solo "Syrinx" by Debussy Lastly, in June, members of the school orchestra played in a combined schools concert at the Newton Abbot Centre . Rosalind Partington, Susan Guest and Miss King played a Mozart trio for viola, clarinet and piano ; then Susan, Rosalind and I played a modern piece for flute, clarinet and piano called "Autumn". We found these opportunities to play with a small orchestra at public performances both interesting and helpful ; I hope there will be many similar chances to play in the future . Finally, I should like to thank Miss Wall, Mrs . Last and Miss King in particular for all their help and encouragement in the past year. ANNE HUNT, Upper VI .

THE STOVER HORSE SHOW At eight o'clock on a misty summer morning the rattling of horse boxes on the Stover drive again heralded the beginning of our annual horse show. We certainly proved the continuing popularity of this event as our takings rose to £150—a valuable contribution to the school funds. The comic dog show has always been a great attraction, and the com- petitors made a charming picture gathered in the sunlight under the cedar trees. We are grateful to the Governors and to Miss Smith for allowing this event to take place, and to the committee of parents for all their hard work in organising everything so successfully . Thanks also go to Mr . Ayliffe for permitting us to use his land as an exercising area—a valuable addition to every show ground. Many visitors commented on the excellent catering provided by Double Dutch, who remarked that it was their best show of the season. CAROLINE TULLY, Lower V.

THE SCHOOL FETE On the 29th October this year, the school's annual fete was held in the Dining Hall. Weeks of preparation had gone into the numerous stalls and sideshows, each form taking charge of at least two of these. The bottle stall collected almost 300 bottles and was one of the most popular, along with the produce stall . This year a lot of work went into forming the home craft stall, and thanks are due to Miss Evans and her team of helpers in making a variety of unusual and colourful gifts . Two stalls which did provide a lot of enjoyment were "Shave the Balloon" and "Apple Bob- bing"—overalls and towels being provided for the contestants to clean and dry themselves . Among other sideshows were "Treasure Hunt", "Famous Faces" and "Guess the Weight of the Baby" for which we must thank Mrs. Kline for bringing her beautiful baby along to help us. Altogether we raised about £90 for charities, which had been somewhat neglected throughout the past year owing to our great desire to buy the mini-bus. My thanks go to all staff and parents, without whom none of this would have been possible . MELIAN PAPPIN, UVI.

ANIMAL POEMS The Unicorn The light played Gently on his soft, smooth back His horn Gleamed like a spear. The unicorn stood still, Silently listening, His mane White as a morning cloud Floating in the playful air. He moved his head A silver image, graceful, yet Strong and good. Through the enchanted wood A child skipped With bronzed limbs And curly hair. He drew near to the grove Where the unicorn stood Then waited and whistled, Breaking the silence of the wood

Echoing in the still air. The unicorn turned And the golden child, His master and friend, Led him away . JOANNA STEPHENS, Upper IV. My Swan Everything was quiet As I walked along beside the river. Even the crickets in the field behind me were still, So still. I walked for hours, it seemed, Never getting anywhere. Suddenly, So suddenly, I slipped; My leg hurt and I couldn't move. I lay for hours in a daze Unaware of what had happened. When I came to my senses There standing over me Was a swan. A swan so close! It waddled back a few paces As if realising what it had done. I panicked as I thought of how a swan could break a leg And, without thinking, I picked up a stone And Threw it. It didn't hit him but he hissed, Flapped his wings and turned away. He was gone My swan. The swan who dared to come so close, As if To help me, And I, the foolish imbecile that I was, Made him go, My swan, the king of birds, And I made him go, Go for ever. Gone! DEBORAH BURT, Upper IV. The Mouse The grey mouse peeped around the hole in the wall And blinked. He scampered out and pulled his long tail behind him And stopped, his whiskers twitched nervously, His head turned from side to side, Puzzled. And off across the floor, to a cake crumb, He clasped at the food in hungry hands, nibbled it, His whiskers were twitching His eyes and ears alert. He turned suddenly, and rushed for the hole— The cat had come into the room. JANET CATTERMOUL, Upper IV .

CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD Germany A German Christmas is quite different from an English Christmas. All the children—and not only they—look forward to Christmas Eve even more than Christmas Day, because on the evening of December 24th the Christmas tree is lit and the presents are given out. This happens after the Christmas service which is held in the afternoon. Instead of hanging up our stockings on Christmas Eve, we leave our shoes outside the door on the eve of St . Nicholas . On the morning of 6th Decem- ber every child will find something in his shoe ; if he has been good he will find a small gift but, if naughty, perhaps only a lump of coal. HANNELORE PAHL (German student)

Chile We have the Chilean Christmas in summer and, after having opened their presents at midnight, the children usually go out into the streets and play . A White Christmas is unknown ; therefore housewives buy cotton woll and frost for the trees, a poor imitation of snow but the best that is available. As Chile is predominantly a Roman Catholic country, the people go to mid- night Mass, or `The Mass of the Cock' as it is called, after which the celebrations begin, with fireworks and sometimes the lighting of bonfires—a beautiful sight. ROSALIE BRANSZTEIN, Upper V.

Jewish Christmas Jews do not celebrate Christmas as such but they do celebrate the "Festival of Lights" which often falls near December 25th . It commemorates the liberation of Jerusalem by the Maccabees when the 'menorah' (candelabra) in the temple, which had enough oil in it to burn for one day only, burnt for eight . It is a festival of rejoicing—families get together to dance and celebrate and presents are given out. Unlike during the Passover, any food may be eaten. It is one of the most enjoyable festivals of our year and certainly one to which we look forward . ROSALIE BRANSZTEIN, Upper V.

Japan Japanese does decorate the towns a lot, and a lot of Father Christmas in supermarkets . But they do not celebrate Christmas as much as English do; they celebrate the New Year more than Christmas. ATSUKO YAMANAKA, Form III.

Australia When we have Christmas in Australia, it is in the middle of summer. We usually celebrate Christmas on the beach . The turkey is often roasted out- side on the barbecue and then eaten cold on the beach. ANGELA BOYDEN, Form III.

East Africa In East Africa the English people try to keep Christmas Day as much like an English Christmas as possible. The only difficulties are the unavoidable ones, such as holding most of the celebrations outside because of the heat and eating chicken as turkey is unobtainable. The Africans enjoy dressing-up in skins and other costumes . They decorate their arms and legs and wear masks that represent different animals. Dancing then takes place, the only peculiarity being that they dance on stilts to the sound of skin drums, wooden pipes and other tribal instruments . These festivities last most of the night, only ending at sunrise. ANNE DIXON, Upper V .

HOUSE REPORTS

Queen Elizabeth Throughout this year success has thwarted us in nearly every House activity, but I am pleased to say that we always took second place rather than third . Each term we narrowly missed winning the much coveted House Cup, not through lack of effort on most people's parts, but there are always a few members who will not pull their weight . On the games side we were lucky, not so much in having outstanding players as in having a great sense of per- severance within our teams . This led to two firsts in the Senior House Netball and the Junior House Tennis . The swimming sports upheld our row of seconds. My thanks to the House Games Captains. One of the most enjoyable activities this year was the House Play Competition . We chose a comical melodrama called "The Wages of Sin" . For this we found many enthusiasts both for acting parts and back-stage work and, although we did not win the Competition, I think everyone enjoyed pro- ducing it . I would like to thank all the participants . It is on such occasions that one realises that "house spirit" does still exist, contrary to popular opinion. That more or less sums up the year, which leaves me only to thank Miss Bailey who, as ever, has given us encouragement in all our undertakings. SARAH EDWARDS

Queen Mary I should like to start this report by giving my thanks to the House Captain, Susan Emrich, for all her efforts throughout the year, especially concerning the House play . She did, I feel, have great support from Louise Genet and Jane Rooney in their capacities as Senior and Junior Games Captains . Louise, as School Games Captain, was excellently placed to choose the best teams the House could provide and we acquitted ourselves well, especially in the swimming sports at the end of the year and, of course, not forgetting the success of the junior netball and lacrosse teams. The year's efforts were crowned by victory in the House Cup and for this I thank every member of Queen Mary House. I should also like to thank Miss Evans in her role as house mistress for the help and encouragement which she gives us . ADRIENNE DAY.

Queen Victoria I am glad to be able to give a far better report this year . This is mostly due to the efforts and enthusiasm of the House officials . Rosemary Reichwald and Clare Foster, as Senior and Junior games captains respectively, have formed several good teams ; the senior team struck victory in both lacrosse and tennis, whilst the junior team came an honourable second in the netball and tennis The swimming cup is ever elusive (in fact, since 1956) but the House put up a good fight . Thank you, games captains. Gillian Holding as vice-captain deserves a special `thank you' for the work she put into "Strained Relations" by Arnold Helsby. Our victory in the House plays was the crowning achievement of the year and we very much enjoyed preparing for this production, a comedy involving only five characters, but many other people behind the scenes. It is at times like these that one realises that there is still House spirit despite the rows of noughts in the House book. We thank Miss King for her help and support . SUSAN GUEST

THE UPPER V. ACTIVITIES AFTER 'O'-LEVEL EXAMINATIONS As is usual the Upper V . took part in several out of school activities after 'O' Levels at the end of the summer term . We spent a very pleasant and interesting day at an open rehearsal at the Northcott Theatre in Exeter . The programme of the day included a rehearsal of "Muddletown" which fascinated us, although it was intended for children of primary school age. It was in- teresting to see how the actors involved even the shyest of the children in their activities . In the afternoon we saw a rather unusual production, "Pollution", which shocked us greatly and showed us the true state of Britain's pollution problem . "Fair Maid of the West" ended our stay at the Northcott, and we returned to school feeling that our day had been well worthwhile. Another enjoyable excursion was a visit to the Berkertex clothing factory near Plymouth . The morning, which we spent shopping, was followed by a picnic lunch on the Hoe. Despite the heat in the factory the employees worked at an amazing speed, producing high quality clothing at which we all gazed longingly. Naturally we went to see some films, including "Love Story", "Kelly's Heroes" and "Wuthering Heights" . all of which were enjoyed by those who saw them . KAREN COOK, LVI.

HIKING Over the past year numerous groups of pupils have been taking ad- vantage of the wonderful local scenery in the form of hiking. This has been kindly arranged and led by Mr . and Mrs . Blenkinsopp, to whom we convey our warmest thanks. The distances, whilst long enough to prove a challenge, have not been too off-putting, and although the going has, on occasions, been somewhat rough, the pleasure of seeing the lesser known, uncommercialised Dartmoor has compensated for our wet feet and aching calves We have scrambled up impossible hills, waded through supposedly dried-up streams and loved every minute of it. Weather-wise we seem to have been singularly ill-fated, and although on one or two occasions the weather has been perfect, more often than not we have tramped through drizzle and pouring rain, hail, and even snow! How- ever, it has all been great fun and, believe it or not, real relaxation. CAROLINE PAPE, Upper V.

EXCURSIONS TO THE NORTHCOTT Throughout the past year several visits have been made to the Northcott theatre by parties from Stover . Since the acquisition of the school mini-bus it has been far easier, and, indeed, far less costly to arrange trips for smaller groups as well as the usual coach parties. The theatre puts on a great variety of productions so it would be im- possible to see them all . However, we managed to see several including "The Three Sisters" (Chekhov), a very strange modern play "Narrow Road to the Deep North", "Julius Caesar" and "The Caucasian Chalk Circle" by Bertolt Brecht . Lastly, there were three separate excursions to see the Ballet Rambert. The company gave separate performances to suit all different age groups . This was greatly appreciated as there was something of interest for everyone. ANNE HUNT and BRIDGET WIGRAM, Upper VI .

"A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM" At the end of each school year it has been customary to perform a play or musical . Last year our choice was scenes from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" . These were performed principally by members of the school Drama Group, and we were lucky in having Mrs . Steele to direct and produce the play. We should like to take this opportunity of thanking her for her help and everlasting patience. Only certain sequences were performed . Those including the lovers— Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius and Helena—were omitted, as we felt these would make the play too long and our time and cast were limited . As most of the more serious scenes had been left out, we were able to concentrate on the humour. Our first performance was at Ilsington, and kindly organised by Mr. and Mrs . Donaldson . The second was that given before the parents on the last day of term, which we hope they enjoyed watching as much as we did performing. Thanks, too, must be given to all those back-stage, especially Miss Churchward for the scenery, and Miss Evans for the costumes ; and once again a thank-you to Mrs . Steele, and to the parents and staff for being such a won- derful audience! A. RUSSELL and S . THORNELOE, Upper V. ART DEPARTMENT NEWS On Speech Day our Junior Common Room was again transformed into an Art Gallery, with a variety of pupils' work . An outstanding example of animal portraiture was "Zebras" by Bobby Chubb, who has gained another honour by having more cartoons accepted and published in "Light Horse". Miss Churchward organised another Christmas card competition for all forms and local artists Miss P. M . Meacock and Mrs . G. Turnbull again kindly judged the numerous entries. Extra lessons in Oil Painting have become popular, and not only with the seniors junior artists are busy wielding their brushes too! Nine pupils studying the History of Art recently spent a day in London, visiting the Tate and National Galleries, and other local exhibitions have also been visited .

ZOOLOGY FIELD TRIP TO WALES At the end of October this year, Bridget and I set off on our long train journey to Pembrokeshire . Our destination was Dale Fort Field Centre, situated on a narrow promontory overlooking Milford Haven . The fort itself has been recently converted and now comprises three modern laboratories, a large library, sleeping quarters and staff accommodation. Daily routine consisted of two and a half hours lectures in the morning followed by a day in the field and then a further hour and a half practical work, or lectures, in the evening. On the first day of our stay we were introduced to the ecology of a rocky shore and we visited a nearby bay to collect and classify some examples of the flora and fauna. The work for the next three days included a visit to an exposed rocky shore and also some project work . For this we collected some 200 winkles from each of three shores and noted their colour and length . We then drew out our results in the form of kite histograms, hoping to find some relationship between size and colour. Unfortunately we did not have enough time really to pursue the subject very far, but we certainly gained a lot from doing the work. For the last two days we studied an estuarine ecosystem, followed by a salt marsh . The hot water supply at the fort soon diminished after our visit to the estuary . This was due to the numerous baths needed to wash off the layers of mud we all received from wading about trying to catch shrimps! It was all over too soon—again we found ourselves on the train, this time back to Newton Abbot . Neither of us will forget the enjoyable time we spent there ; it was well worth it . MELIAN PAPPIN, UVI .

" CHRIST IN THE CONCRETE CITY " Last year, during our religious knowledge lessons with Mrs . Donaldson, we read some modern plays based on Biblical events . We enjoyed these so much that we decided to perform one, and we chose "Christ in the Concrete City". It told the story of Christ's work with people and how he was betrayed and crucified . After reading it through again, we came to the conclusion that it could be performed best with sound and light effects only. We set the date and, after three or four rehearsals at Ilsington Church, we were ready . Here, on behalf of all those who took part, I must thank Mrs. Donaldson for giving up such a lot of her time in order to ferry us to and fro, and also for directing and producing the play. We hope our audience enjoyed listening to the play as much as we did taking part in it . Unexpectedly, we were even asked to perform it two weeks later at Widecombe, a request which we had great pleasure in accepting. Owing to the success of "Christ in the Concrete City" we are hoping to produce a similar play in February next year, again performed by Sixth Form girls. MELIAN PAPPIN, Upper VI.

MISS K . GAUKRODGER Miss Gaukrodger has written several times during the past year to tell us how much she and Carmen are enjoying their new life in Madrid . She especially appreciates the weather—"Here in February we feel that Spring has come already as, except for a short time when it was very cold and wet as well, the days are sunny and warm, in fact almost preferable to the heat of the summer months" . She spends part of her time drawing and painting the local scenery and is hoping to be able to sell some of her pictures soon. Carmen is working as a secretary for a firm who are agents for the supply of surgical instruments and hospital equipment and is enjoying her new job. Both Miss Gaukrodger and Carmen send their regards to all those connected with Stover and hope to visit the school some time in the future .

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS (received since December, 1970) Ann Cornish-Bowden . It was good to hear again from Ann . She took a secretarial course before going to St . Andrew's University, where she took an M .A. degree in Mediaeval and Modern History . She worked with W .R .N .D. until she married in 1967, and has a daughter, Sarah Jane, born in 1969 . They have just returned from Hong Kong and are now in Lemgo, West Germany. Susan Forward has also written again . She shared a flat with Gillian Back until Gillian married Mike Polonsky, a South African social worker working for Bristol City Council . Susan then went to Sicily for a year and then returned to Winchester, where she became engaged to an Italian in the British Army and a graduate of Trinity, Dublin . Susan worked for a charity organisa- tion which salvaged and brought back from the Falkland Islands Brunel 's old ship, the s .s. "Great Britain". They are now in Germany for three years. She tells us that Judith Forward was also married—in July, to Guy Kent, a farmer from Chippenham . Susan keeps in touch with Margaret Griffiths (now Mrs . Doyle) and with Elizabeth Irvine (Mrs . Tatem), now mother of a baby girl. Anne Fursdon (Roberts) is living in Cornwall, where her husband is stationed at R .A.F ., St . Mawgan . They have a house there but expect to be posted to Germany in the next twelve months. Anne is working as an agent for Pippa Dee Lingerie and Swimwear, which gets her out a bit to meet people. Virginia Edwards (Donne), now that her children are all at school, is working as a mature student at Exeter University. Margaret Howell has had her Teaching Fellowship at Saskatchewan University renewed and is working there for a Ph .D . She was home briefly in the summer of this year. Mary Anne King (Vacher) has two very energetic boys aged two and a half years and eight months respectively . She manages to find time to keep up her singing and took part in the Oxford University Opera Club's presenta- tion of Gluck's "Armide" and was thrilled to be among those mentioned in their reports by both the Daily Telegraph and the Yorkshire Post . The family has moved into the two cottages that they converted very successfully. Betty Maclntyre (Langton) is now Nursing Officer of the Geriatric and Wolborough sections of the Newton Abbot Hospital. Joanna Organ says that Caroline is returning to England and that Diane Webb was married last year. Rosemary Parnaby (McFee) hoped to have a holiday in the Clock House this summer but the installation of central heating there unfortunately pre- vented it . They took a locum in Cumberland and like the countryside so much that they would like to live there if the opportunity arose . Her eldest girl, Katherine, is in junior school . Jane has just started school, while Andrew is "just a tough little boy, with a disarming grin" . Rosemary is still running her play group and also "dabbling in the Cathedral archives" . She was expecting a fourth baby in June this year. Rosemary Poyntz-Roberts (Jones) has two daughters, Philippa and Varolyn . They are starting an interesting new venture—rearing a thousand pigs a year through to bacon and this has involved a lot of building, so Rose- mary is being kept very busy.

After that she tried being Assistant Matron in a Boys Prep School but soon gave it up and took another post looking after three children in Chobham, Surrey . We are glad to say that Jane is rejoining the O .G.A. and would like to get in touch with her friends again. Sali Tully has given up a very exacting job—"battling in a huge East End school and living in a rather grotty area" . She is living at home and teaching at Montpelier School, a very different proposition, though she says she has some adapting to do! She tells us that Susan Wells-Brown had a little boy recently. Miss Hill and Miss Spong are living in Penzance and would be delighted to see any Stover Old Girls who happen to be in the neighbourhood . The telephone number is Penzance 3381 .
