In common with a number of school magazines these days. The Poultonian will be published only once each year. There are a number of practical advantages in such a policy. One we believe to be of major importance. The preoccupation of the senior forms with external examination work in May and June has always meant that the pupils most able and most likely to contribute material for the magazine have been too busy to do so. The Summer Poultonian has tended to be a slim affair, very expensive to produce, and ill reflecting the multifarious activities of the school. It has tended to lack, in particular, the lively, creative work which ought to complement, in our view, the necessary but occasionally rather pedestrian recording of school, society and team activity. It is hoped that a larger and more ambitious magazine, published at the beginning of the Summer Term, will allow the full reporting of virtually all the school's doings, and, at the same time, give V maximum opportunity to contributors of original material to submit more carefully prepared work. Such a magazine will inevitably cost more, but ought to be worth every penny of any increase. Intending contributors to The Poultonian are reminded that material for inclusion should be submitted to the Editor by the last day of the Spring Term, 6th April, 1 979. BY THE WAV When our first intake of Junior girls arrives in September, there will be very few signs visible to the casual observer of physical changes in the structure of the school. Nevertheless, there have been preparations for their welcome and some expensive new building. Changing room accommodation will be available on the north side of the gym and toilet accommodation in the Old School. As far as the main building programme is concerned, tenders are already out for the Domestic Science block and Art room and it is hoped to begin work in September. Provided that the winter weather is no more than normally seasonable, and the work force no less than reasonably co-operative, this work ought to be finished by February or March. This will be rather later than we all hoped, though not than many of us expected, but, perhaps, about par for the course. Disappointingly, it looks as though the Vlth form Common Room will not be available until next summer. In September, the school will have the pleasure of welcoming two new members of staff. To teach Domestic Science, we shall have Mrs. Cumming, now on the staff of Blackpool Collegiate, and to replace Mr. Kempson comes Miss Frearson, at present Hin Hestair teaching French in a girls' comprehensive school in London. Mr. Kempson leaves Baines in July after four years on the staff, to take up a new post in Bournemouth. The school has always been very much aware of his presence - Hope not only for the indescribable aroma of those fragrant French cigarettes, or for his enthusiastic and infectious laughter when the rest of the audience failed momentarily to do justice to some comic line or business in a school play. He has done a great deal of work for the Music Society, which has expressed thanks to him many times for his generous contribution to its activities of his time, records and tapes. He has acted as business manager for the Drama Society and as organiser, master of A whole world ofeducation ceremonies and general factotum (Figaro would have recognised a kindred spirit) for the School Fair. He has been, officially and unofficially, a Friend of Baines. We wish him success and happiness in his future career. 3 Hestair Ltd.
