THE HEAD MISTRESS'S REPORT as given on Speech Day. At a time when all our minds are occupied with the major issues of world af fairs, it may seem presumptuous of me to ask for your attention to be focus sed upon the small world of a girls' school and its activities during the p ast-year. And yet, I believe that our history is not unimportant in the who le scheme of things, and I want you to believe that too. It is part of our creed that the occupation and thought of the single individual can and must reflect upon the occupation and thought of the body politic; that no attem pt at constructive living can be totally insignificant. Our first pretext for existence as a school must be in the main academic. Let me give you the results of our labours in 1937 as measured by the ya rdstick of public examinations. [Miss Le Maitre here read the examination results for the past year, and commented on the excellent results in History and Art.] The Music Club continues to flourish under Miss Pudney. Mrs. Dougall's Star singing class gave a delightful performance of a number of Old Eng lish Madrigals in costume. The Dramatic Clubs, too, have been busy. Many of the readings are, of c ourse, for internal consumption only, but a great many of you have form ed your own opinions about our performance of the Merchant of Venice la st month. As a result of the two performances a cheque for £26 was sen t to the Children's Aid Society. The Games of the school are in a very healthy state. This year we found ourselves at the head of the Hockey League, and three of our number play ed for the Inter-Schools Team, and two for the 2nd. The Tennis VI are ho lding their position in the 1st League. During the year we have made various expeditions to places of interest in and about Johannesburg. 2 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. History. Africana Museum (3). Archives, Pretoria. Geography. Observatory. November 30th. Science. Hortor's Printing Works. National Maize Products, f African Oxygen Acetylene Co. Epic Oil Company. The Witwatersrand University has again allowed us to do Practical Physi cs in one of their laboratories every week, and the Zoology Department has been most helpful in allowing us to use their Museum specimens and in providing us with specimens for dissection. Among the artists'who have visited the school are Bertha Hagart, one of our own Old Girls, the Johannesburg String Quartet, a Bantu Choir, and Olive Bloom. The sub-prefects again organized what they refer to as "the annual dance, " and a great success it was. The guests, the Staff and Prefects with the ir friends, were most appreciative. The Junior School, under Miss Mackinnon's serene and kindly rule, has a nother happy and successful year to look back upon. Entries are pouring in and we have had to disappoint a great many people for whom we can f ind no vacancies. During the year we found it necessary to build a sepa rate room for the Kindergarten, and we seem to be full for the next thr ee years. Of our Old Girls we have more than a dozen at the University of the Wit watersrand, three or four at Rhodes, one at the Cape, and overseas thre e at Cambridge, two at Bedford College, London, some at the Froebel Ins titute and several at Physical Training Colleges and Schools of Art. Rhoda Knight has become an Associate of the Inc. Soc. of Chiropodists. Charmian Whiting has her C.S.M.M.G., massage and medical gymnastics. Mary Ferrar and Margaret Walker are both Games mistresses at Johannesb urg schools. Isabelle Ferrar has a Junior School post in England. Phyl lis Livingstone was placed upon the Waiting List for Newnham College o n her entrance papers in History, after one year's specializing in the VI form here. Sally Leith obtained a vacancy at Newnham College, and has gone up this year, after a year in the VI form at Roedean, Brighto n. Cecil Scott-Brown has been appointed head of the publicity departme nt in the Union for Imperial Airways. Sylvia Fleming, who holds the de gree of B.A. Cantab, is now in Cape Town: she is taking a training in Women's Estate THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. 3 Management, on the lines laid down by Octavia Hill, the pioneer of Slum Clearance. It is always embarrassing to offer praise to an individual in public and in his presence, and I am glad that Mr. Percival Whiteley, our Chairman, is in England at this moment, because I do want to make a paean in his ho nour. He it was who invented the Building Fund, to which you all contribu te so generously term by term. He is was who took upon himself the distas teful task of begging on our behalf from the great houses of this city. H e personally has collected nearly £1,000 from others, and from time to t ime a cheque comes in for the Roedean Building Fund with no other signatu re on it than that of P. Whiteley. The school is greatly in his debt. And you, my parents, may I thank you now for the way in which you have responded to our importunity, and beg you not to weary of well doing. O ccasionally you have given me shocks: one of you demurred at the paymen t of 10/- per term, took his bill and wrote £10, and capped it with a promise to provide all the beds necessary for the new Sanatorium. Anoth er, who is blessed with more than one daughter at the school, gave me  £5 for each of them. Mrs. Davies has presented the Sanatorium with bed tables, and Miss Clendinnen has presented it with deck chairs. One always loyal and affectionate subscriber is the S.A.O.R.A., the Old Girls' Association, which has undertaken to hold a fete every two years, the proceeds of which last March were divided in the proportion of 70% to 30% between the Building Fund and the Old Girls' Relief Fund. Loyalty and affection to us and to one another have inspired the Old Girls to c ollect a fund of their own, from which from time to time a present can b e made to one of themselves who may be in distress through illness or so me sudden calamity. And so it goes on. We were emboldened to ask for a loan from our Fairy G odfather, the Council of Education, so that we could begin on the Sanato rium at once, confident that the regular income from the Building Fund w ould pay off capital and interest in a very few years. For the next few years the sum of £300 per annum must be forthcoming against the Sanatorium, but it is possible to make specific donations towards our other projects. The Library Fund has been enriched by an a nonymous gift of one hundred guineas this year. The Chapel has £22 to wards the decoration of the apse from Mrs. Coaton, Bertha Haggart, Eli n Hammar and Mrs. 4 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. Lamartine Yates. Mr. and Mrs. Black have given us a set of vestments. Work on the new playing fields is still in process and we have made two new tennis courts on the reclaimed ground. We hope to make two more co urts in the near future. I hope that the weather will allow you to wander in the garden, which h as been coloured this year by many plants from Government House. In a country where Post-matriculation work in school is not part of the re gular scheme of education, it is a great deal to ask of a sixteen-year-old voluntarily to submit to a discipline from which she has won honourable r elease. It is a great deal to ask you to sacrifice another year of your da ughter's company, another year of paying out for her expensive education. And yet I know that for the girl of any genuine ability and ambitions it i s abundantly worth it. One of my last year's Sixth-formers, who went up to the University this y ear, told me that she was in the fortunate position of being able to mana ge her work completely, and to join with a free conscience in the outside activities that justly belong to University life. Many of her contempora ries, who came straight from their Matriculation, had to choose between w ork and play. So much for her point of view. From the school's point of view the VI form can be a reliable source of st rength. We use our VI form. Last year we went through a difficult week wit h four of our staff laid up. The VI form took over the teaching of the Jun ior Forms with great vigour, and the work went steadily on without let or hindrance. In the last issue of the school magazine comment was made on a member of the staff, an Old Girl, who was about to leave us in order to get married . "She has a way of being in the middle of the front row when jobs are gi ven out that endears her to her colleagues in the Staff room." I want to endorse that comment and to enlarge on it. The spirit that prompts the vo lunteer is very much alive in the Staff room. I only hope that I do not p resume upon it. I have never been allowed to feel that I need refuse to u ndertake any out of school activity on the part of the school because it' s too much to ask the Staff. The Founders of this school had a genius for inspiring co-operation. There is a tale of Miss Lawrence, who decided on ce that "little Miss Saise" must take girls' supper often-"she sets such a good example and always asks for a second helping"! "Little Miss Saise, " who is now Mrs. Freer, is still a glutton for work, and polishes off the THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. 5 dullest of dishes with apparent relish. Her example is a great one, and it seems to be infectious. The work brings me to the subject of the health of the school. On the w hole it has been a good year, but an extremely aggravating one. Whoopin g-cough disturbed the first term, mumps the second, and German measles the holidays. The vigilance and patience of Miss Mackinnon, Mrs. Sime a nd Sister were seriously taxed, and they stood up to the strain magnifi cently. I am sure the Day Girl parents in the Junior School must be gra teful to them for the way in which they staved off a wholesale epidemic by means of meticulous isolation of possible contacts, who incidentall y had to be taught and looked after by themselves during the various qu arantine periods. Taking the year all in all I have only one serious regret: that is that ou r friend and founder, Miss Lawrence, has not been here to see the gradual development of the school, which she and her friend, Miss Earle, gave thir ty years to build.

Never before have we been entertained by a circus at school, and so it w as a great novelty when the Miller Circus Troupe announced in striking p osters that it was giving a performance to the advertisements on the thi rd Saturday of the term. During the satisfying supper, provided by Mrs. Mull, we were entertained by parades of the wild animals belonging to the circus, and spirited da nces by two gypsies and a tap-dancer. After supper we were entertained in the Scollay by two shadow scenes fr om Alice in Wonderland, and a very amusing play, "The Dear Departed," C hristabel Cramb making an excellent toothless grandfather. After the pl ays we returned to the hall for dancing; and at about nine o'clock the cakes were cut, we sang Auld Lang Syne, and reluctantly went to bed. Mary Andrews. ST. KATHERINE'S HOUSE NIGHT. On June 20th, St. Katherine's House entertained St. Agnes' and St. Ursu la's with a novel and exciting house-night. The posters said that Ali B aba and the Forty Thieves requested the pleasure of the company of "Son gs" at a feast. At 6.30 a crowd of expectant Songs of All Times gathere d on the terrace. The babble of conversation changed to gasps of admira tion, as the Songs entered the hall to be judged, and saw the group of white veiled women and turbaned men standing on the platform. After the procession, we all went to the hall, where we enjoyed a sumptuous feas t; and warmed up by our curry-and-rice, we watched an oriental dance of the white veiled Arab women. Then the lights went low, and from the pi cturesque platform, Eileen Morton sang a sweet desert song for us. When we had eaten, we went into the Scollay, where we watched a series of " Mickey Mouse" and "Our Gang" films, kindly lent by Mr. and Mrs. Johnsto ne. The evening closed with songs and dancing, and, of course, the cake. Th en Miss Le Maitre, who was dressed as the Song of the Houses, awarded t he prizes to the best songs. After Auld Lang Syne had been sung, we all went to bed after a most enjoyable evening. Three cheers for St. Kathe rine's! Ruth Bloch. Ante-Matric. THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. 13 ST. URSULA'S HOUSE NIGHT. A number of Fairy Tales visited the Spain of Romance on the third Saturda y of the third term. Everybody was much entertained by the original costumes displayed in the parade, after which everyone walked in to a feast worthy of Spain, prov ided by Miss Conradie, who must have realized how substantial fairy tale s really are. We were entertained by songs which were sung to a senorita on a balcony to the accompaniment of a guitar. A solo Spanish dance and a tango were followed by a bull fight. The arena was lined and the bull charged in, t wo matadors were killed in the attempt to master it, but one remained vi ctorious. The fact that the bull came apart in the middle only added to the general amusement, and the result of the bull fight was greeted with uproarious applause. After the speeches and school songs there was a beetle drive, a most di verting game. Then everyone danced in the hall, and ate delicious cake; and some received prizes from Miss Le Maitre in the guise of "The old woman who lived in the shoe." Auld Lang Syne was sung regretfully, and all went to bed after a very happy evening. Diana Martin. SPEECH DAY, 1938. Speech Day this year was on November the 12th. As Lady Duncan had kind ly consented to address us and to lay the foundation stone of the new Sanatorium, it was with some foreboding that we viewed the weather. Fo rtunately for all concerned the day was fine. Mr. Raikes, Principal of the Witwatersrand University, took the chair, in place of Mr. Whiteley, who was overseas, and opened the proceedings by introducing Lady Duncan and calling upon four of the girls to welcom e her. Eileen Morton, Milada Boucek, Elizabeth Kean and Christabel Cram b made speeches in English, French, Latin and Afrikaans respectively, w elcoming Her Excellency to the school. Miss Le Maitre then spoke, givin g an account of the activities of the school throughout the year, and h er speech was followed by the presentation of the prizes by Lady Duncan . Her Excellency's speech, besides being very entertaining, was most in structive, for she stressed the need of courtesy in the world to-day, a mong nations as well as among individuals. Later, both girls and visitors went over to the grounds of the new Sana torium, where the girls sang a hymn, in parts and unaccompanied. The ar chitect, Mr. Leonard Fleming, then presented Lady Duncan with a silver trowel, and Her Excellency declared the Foundation Stone "well and trul y laid." The Bishop 14 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. of Johannesburg was present and blessed the stone, after which everyone returned to the school, where tea was served in the dining-room and on t he front lawn. An exhibition of hand-work of all sorts was on view in th e Scollay and was examined by the visitors after tea. E. Morton. We append an account of Speech Day taken from The Star. "I have a special word to say to the girls who are leaving," said Lady D uncan when she attended the annual speech day of Roedean School in the s chool hall on Saturday afternoon. "I want to ask them if they realise th at all their lives a debt has been accumulating against them. They have taken with both hands the many gifts that have been showered upon them. The one way in which that debt can be completely settled is by service."

Recalling her connection with the Wayfarer movement, Lady Duncan mentione d how the development of this movement had been retarded by the lack of E uropean leaders. "The bringing of a little light into the lives of the le ss fortunate is your responsibility, and just so faithfully as you take u p some public work, just so faithfully will you discharge that debt." Lady Duncan thanked the pupils for the welcome that had been given her in four languages, particularly for the speech made in Afrikaans. She w as pleased to see that Roedean was helping in this way to build up a un ited people. She congratulated those in charge of Roedean on the excell ent progress made during the year. She knew something of the struggles that had taken place, and felt that Roedean was like Ireland, which she had heard referred to as the country where the impossible always happe ned. It was in a school of this type that there was room for every kind of gir l. There was room for the girl who was poor at general school work but po ssibly rich in the promise of character, artistic accomplishments or spor ting ability. It was good to know that every girl's limitations and her p romises were studied, and, through careful and tactful handling, her weak points strengthened and her assets developed on sound lines, which allow ed for the expansion of her own individuality. "We know how wide and gene rous is the education that is being given to you girls, and through it yo u gain self-confidence. In another school those who are backward in one d irection might lose heart, but here it is those girls who are picked out and encouraged to attain that self-confidence without which very few big things can be done in life." This school went beyond the teaching of the three R's. She felt that Roed ean had followed the instruction of the Japanese proverb: "If you have tw o loaves of bread, sell one and buy a lily." Roedean was showing her girl s a side of education that was as fragrant, fresh and beautiful as a lily . She supported Miss Le THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. 15 Maitre's plea for students to take post-matriculation classes, as she felt that this work paved the way for young people to adjust themselves to the difficult conditions with which they might be faced. Congratulating the prize-winners and the students who had not been so s uccessful, Lady Duncan reminded them that Sir Walter Scott at a school prize-giving had asked to shake hands with the stupidest boy, because h e, Sir Walter, had been the stupidest boy in his school. In conclusion, Lady Duncan said she had often heard South Africans critic ised for their lack of courtesy. The courtesy which counted was that whic h was part and parcel of the make-up of a boy or girl, and not that worn only for special occasions. Lady Duncan, who was received by the Mayor and Mayoress of Johannesbur g, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Page, the Principal of the Witwatersrand Univers ity, Mr. H. R. Raikes, and the Principal of Roedean, Miss E. K. Le Mai tre, was attended by her secretary, Miss Helen Addison. Mr. A. D. Viney, Mr. A. G. Petyt, Mrs. L. Fouche, members of the Schoo l Council, and Miss C. E. McKinnon, head of the Junior School, were pr esented to Lady Duncan. Lady Duncan was introduced by Mr. Raikes, who said that the school had made steady progress. There were no capital funds through which improve ments could be made to the school buildings, and it was only through th e great generosity of the Witwatersrand Council of School Education and the work done by the chairman of the School Council, Mr. P. Whiteley, in collecting additional funds, that it had been possible to start buil ding the Sanatorium, whose foundation stone Lady Duncan was to lay that afternoon. A proper library was a special necessity. The numbers in the school were keeping up, but they would like to see mo re boarders, as it was felt that being a boarder was an essential part o f a Roedean education. Bouquets were given to Lady Duncan, who presented the prizes, and to the Mayoress. The annual report of the Headmistress, Miss E. K. Le Maitre, showed that the school's academic record left nothing to be desired. (Her speech is given elsewhere.) At the conclusion the guests walked down to the new building, where the Bishop of Johannesburg, the Right Rev. G. H. Clayton, offered a prayer. Lady Duncan laid the foundation stone with the trowel presented to her b y Mr. L. Fleming, the architect, and the Bishop blessed the stone. A hymn was sung by the school and tea served later in the garden. 16 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. FOUNDATION DAY, 1939 This year it rained on Foundation Day, but that somehow did not matter v ery much. The Old Girls played tennis with the Present Girls between sho wers, but Were unable to finish the match, and the rest of the Present G irls entertained themselves in the Gym. and the Scollay. We had been hoping that Miss Lawrence would be able to be with us for t he day, but she was unwell, and was forced to go to bed in the Sanatori um. Miss Scott, however, came to supper, and we were glad to have her b ack again with us. Several Old Girls who had not been to Foundation Day for some years, managed to be here for a part of the day at least. Supper began at 6.30 p.m. in Founders' Hall. Mary Harris was the first to speak-she proposed the health of the Games. Helen Ogilvie replied, and p roposed the health of the Staff. She told us the few secrets she knew abo ut them, but the prefects were paid back in their own coin by Miss Cowley , who answered on behalf of the Staff, and proposed the health of the pre fects. Charlotte K,err, the first grandchild to be Head girl, replied and proposed the health of the Old Girls-she told us "the first person I eve r set eyes on was an Old Girl." Bella Eller spoke for the Old Girls, and proposed Roedean, Brighton. Miss Lawrence was to have spoken for Roedean, Brighton, but Moira Bainbridge spoke instead, at only a few hours' notic e, filling the breach very well, though she said she could not even hope to fill it. She proposed the health of Roedean, South Africa, and Miss Le Maitre replied, proposing the health of the Founders. After supper, the Present Girls acted "The Crimson Cocoa-nut" (which w as really a bomb) in the Scollay. Christabel Cramb gave an exceptional performance as a "doddering old waiter" in a restaurant where Madame Gliserinski gives the bomb to Nitro Gliserinski, her husband. Everyone seemed to enjoy the play very much. We danced in Founders' Hall after the play. Miss Le Maitre cut the Birthd ay Cake, and after eating it, we sang "Auld Lang Syne" and said "good-night, having had a very happy day. The following accepted for some part of Foundation Day: S.

A la fagon de Madame de Sevigne, je vais vous mander la chose la plus et onnante, la plus surprenante, la plus incroyable; la plus extraordinaire ! Vous ne pouvez pas deviner! Voici: II a plu dans le Transvaal pendant quatre semaines! La ville de S tanderton a eu plus de pluie qu'aucune autre, ses rues sont couvertes de deux ou trois pieds d'eau. Les gens ont peur que l'eau transforme leurs maison en arche de Noe. On achetera des canots si cela continue, et Ton ira en barques au lieu d'aller en automobiles. C'est un bon temps pour les canards et les canetons, mais pour les humains ce n'est pas drole! Enfin avec Mars, le soleil brille de nouveau, et le tableau change comple tement. C'est maintenant une jolie scene semblable a un printemps d'Europ e. Le pays souvent si sec en Fevrier n'est plus reconnaissable. Un souffl e fecond a couru tout le long des champs; frolant les lisieres boisees. S ous cette haleine cares-sante, les bourgeons ont pousse; dans les fonds, la ou la terre noire s'est enrichi d'eau, il y a un foisonnement de plant es fleuries: roses, pensees, tournesols, bluets brillants comme de pieces d'or ou de saphir. Les notes mysterieuses des oiseaux passent sonores au milieu de l'universelle symphonie. C'est une joie communicative. Elle ec late en rires, clairs sur les levres des eleves dans le jardin de l'ecole , qui se rejouissent que la pluie soit finie et que le soleil soit revenu de nouveau. Christabel Cramb. THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. 19 SUNDAY EVENING ENTERTAINMENTS. First Term, 1938. The first concert we had this term was on February 6th, when Dr. L. Sc hneider and Inge Sarauw came to play and sing to us. Amongst the delig htful songs of Inge Sarauw were compositions by Brahms, Squire, Lieura nce and Gretscher, and the Aria from "Samson and Delilah." Dr. Schneid er chose Schumann, Brahms, Chopin and Shtitt, and the evening was a th oroughly enjoyable one for all. On March 20th, Miss Clendinnen and Miss Niven gave a two-piano recita l, between Mendelssohn's "Capriccio brillante" and Saint-Saens' "Vari ations on a Beethoven theme." Miss Clendinnen played us Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," a Hondo and a Fantasia, and a Beethoven minu et, and Miss Niven, one of the preludes and fugues. The music was del ightful, perhaps the more so because the players were Miss Clendinnen and Miss Niven. On April 3rd, three of our old friends of the City taring Quartet-Bobbi e Evans, Else Schneider and Hermann Becker- with Michael Dore and Signo r Danza, gave us a recital of chamber music. Although we enjoyed the tr ios and quartets greatly, the greater part of the audience appreciated the solos more. Handel's "'Aria" played by Miss Schneider, and Signor D anza's interpretation of a Chopin Waltz were the most popular items on the programme. On February 20th Miss Grace Browne gave a very interesting lecture on pottery, and on March 20th, the whole school indulged in an Afrikaans Singsong, directed by Miss Hoogenhout. M. Boucek. Second Term. On May 12th Bertha Hagart entered once more the "White walls of Roede an," and faced, as she had on many previous occasions, an audience of eager listeners. She held us spellbound with her performance and we are proud to recogni se this talented pianist as an Old Roedeanian. We all thoroughly enjoyed the visit made us by the Bantu Choir, on Sund ay evening, June 12th. They gave us a varied and interesting programme, singing some beautifu l songs in different native languages, and acting one or two amusing s ketches. We were very sad when the pro- 20 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. gramme came to an end, and hope that the Bantu Choir will visit us again soon. In July, two of the music staff, Miss Sutherland and Miss Pudney, very ki ndly gave us a violin and piano reictal, Miss Sutherland playing the viol in, and Miss Pudney the piano. Later Miss Pattie Price came and sang to us and gave a most entertaini ng performance. Third Term. We were honoured by a visit from the famous Olive Bloom,, on Septembe r 18th. She gave us a varied programme, and her delightful performanc e was much enjoyed by all. On Sunday evening, October 9th, Miss Edw7ards lectured to us on birds. She spoke of some amusing incidents which she had experienced with thes e fascinating creatures, and, with the help of the epidiascope, gave mo st interesting accounts of the birds of South Africa. Miss Margaret Donald very kindly came and sang to us on October 23rd. She chose a collection of charming songs, and her performance was grea tly appreciated. Our carol service, on December 5th, proved a great success^ The Rever end Cardross-Grant conducted the service, and many of the parents att ended. The weather favoured us, as for once it did not rain. Eve Boast. Ante-Matric.. Ons Nou Sing Afrikaans se Liedjies. Sondag, 6 Maart, het ons ons aangenaam vermaak deur Afrikaans se Liedji es te sing. Ons Afrikaans Jeffrou het ons hulle worde geleer. Onder and ere het ons "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika, "0 Boereplaas," "Haartbeeshuisie ," "Sarie Marais,"' "Daar kom die Wa," en "Wat maak Oom Kalie daar," ge sing. Mev. Dougall het vir ons gespeel. Ons het almal op verekombers en reisdekens voor die kaggel, in die Stigters Saal gesit, en gesing dat dit klap. Selfs die meisies wat nie Afrikaans neem nie, het saam gesing , want die wysies was so lekker. Om mee te eindig het ons groen mielies geeet, wat ons in ons slaap laat sing het. S. Hodgson. THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. 21 THE MUSIC CIRCLE. We are proud to acknowledge the fact that the Music Circle celebrated it s second anniversary this term. At our last meeting, several of the music staff very kindly performed. The subject was "Old English Music." We now possess a beautiful blue du ck, which we bought from the Hope Home for our mascot, and intend chris tening at our next meeting- Eve Boast. Ante-Matric. THE GRANDCHILDREN'S PARTY. This year on Saturday, November 5th, when the Grandchildren's Party was held, it rained and so the younger ones played in the hall instead of on the lawn. This year, instead of playing cricket, the boys swam and seem ed to enjoy it in spite of the rainy weather. We had tea in the Old Hall, and when we had finished we went in search of the foot of the rainbow. We discovered it in Founders' Hall, and t here was our Fairy Godmother with a load of presents wrapped in rainbo w-coloured paper. When these had been given away we found the sun had come out, and so we ended a very pleasant afternoon playing on the law n. About eighty grandchildren came, and a great many Old Girls, who ha d come to the S.A.O.R.A. meeting, stayed to enjoy what is perhaps the most charming function of the school year. Suzanne Hodgson. S.A.O.R.A. FETE. The Old Girls, helped generously by our trusty parents, held a "Morning Market" one Saturday afternoon in May. Beautiful work was much in eviden ce, fruit, cakes, books, cigarettes, needlework, flowers, plants and "ot her dodges of a rich nature," to quote the classics. In the intervals of stocking the larder and buying presents for every occasion for months, visitors were invited to spend any remaining cash on games, competitions , and raffles, managed by the Present Girls, and they were lucky if they managed to keep a few pence for the delicious refreshments available. T he lavishness of the buyers was exceeded only by the generosity of the d onors and stallholders, and the result of both was the substantial sum o f £112.11.3 for the Building Fund, with something for the S.A.O.R.A. Ma sonic Fund as well. THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. ODE TO A S. AFRICAN DOVE. 0 singing spirit, cooing creature, Thou the gentle and contented Who sings so clearly i' the night, 1 love to hear thee laughing, Romeo, Cooing to thy Juliet high above. He who sees no peace in thee Has no inner soul for beauty, For thy colours soft and quiet, Blues and greys and pinky hues, Are those of one who is the symbol Of peace, goodwill, prosperity. I have seen thee, soft-eyed creature, Rose-pink in the light of dawn. I have seen thee chuckling quietly, Misty blue in a Winter's eve, When thy gentle notes of laughter Strike mine ear in harmony. Then seems the air enchanted, A gift of Nature's, pure and free; It seems thou hast a silver charm Unequalled by thy fellow birds, For when I hear thee from my window Dreams creep o'er me, dreams of peace. B. Morton. Upper V. A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Long, long ago one frosty night, A star shone with a silver light Upon a stable small and cold, Where Lady Mary there did hold A tiny Child, whom Angels bright, Praised with joy that Christmas night. In simple clothes was Our Lady clad, And in her arms Our Saviour had Wa rmth and shelter from the cold, While on His head, a crown of gold Shon e and sparkled in the gloom, Making a shrine of the lowly room. Penelope Mackay. Middle V. THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. CHERRY TREES. In Japan the cherry trees are white With blossoms of delight; Avenues of beauty, scented air, Wind-ruffled, fair; Beside some Eastern temple's holy shrine The blossoms quietly shine- And petals flutter down upon the grass- The people slowly pass In wonder of that springtime loveliness. And in their hearts do bless The startling beauty that God gave to earth; And at each new day's birth The brightly-coloured birds sing praise to God, While on the muddy sod The simple peasant, in his simple heart Does his most simple part In thanking God for that intricacy- A flowering cherry tree. M. Hammar. Upper V. A FAWN. So soft his coat of speckled hue, So soft his gold-brown eye. Where blue-birds in the forest flew, And streams came bubbling by, There first he saw the lovely glade, Where his mother dear had laid Him,'neath the sky. He looked upon the glorious trees, He looked upon the stream. He saw the honey-laden bees, As they in sunlight gleam. He saw the lovely butterflies, With rainbow wings and golden eyes Like fairies in a dream. He had not very long been born, When heavenly beauty did he see, Snow-White sobbing on the lawn, With hair as black as ebony. He loved her, and she loved him, And there beside her figure slim He cuddled gently. Joyce Beaton. Lower V2. 24 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. A CAT'S FAIRY TALE. Once upon a time there lived a Queen Milk-and-Cream of the fairy cats. S he was a very good Queen, and as beautiful as a plate of fried fish, whi ch is extraordinarily beautiful. One day a young kitten-cat was born. Th e Queen thought that she was much too pretty to go without good wishes a t her christening. What a grand affair the christening was to be, but on the night before the great day the kitten-cat vanished. At once huge rewards were offered and this proclamation read out: "The cat that returns the kitten-cat to the Qu een shall be made head of the Order of the Kipper, and therefore obtain th e highest place in the Queen's palace. He shall have one hundred pots of c ream, a shoal of fish, and three gallons of milk a fortnight as a pension, and, greatest of all, the kitten-cat for a wife!" Now poor Ginger Whitevest read this and asked his mother how he could po ssibly beat the other cats and find her, and he did right, for his mothe r was one of the wisest cats in Cat-fairy Land. She gave him a small rod that a God-cat had given her. Naturally it was magic. Ginger looked int o the glass globe at the top and he saw the kitten-cat playing in the gr ass between two bushes behind the palace. Ginger knew this place very we ll and with a glad heart he went to fetch her, but a big dog lay in the way. Then Ginger was down-hearted and thought for a long time. Suddenly he remembered his magic wand, which he had dropped in his hurry. Off he ran to fetch it, but he was more thoughtful this time and asked his moth er what he should do with it, and she said: "Tap the dog three times wit h the wand, then run around the bushes three times and tap him again." Ginger rushed back to the palace and did as his mother told him, when, to h is surprise and relief the big dog fell down dead! Joyfully Ginger ran to t he little kitten-cat, but she lay as if dead too. Now Ginger was really frightened and picked up the kitten-cat and took h er to his mother, who nursed her with patent herbs for three weeks. Afte r that time the kitten-cat recovered and Ginger took her back to Queen M ilk-and-Cream. Now Ginger is a great cat in fairy-land, because he is head of the Order of the Kipper and is living with the kitten-cat and his family to this day, I t hink. Daphne Deacon. Lower V2. THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. JUNIOR HOUSE. 25 Junior School Parents' Day. Parents' Day was held on Friday, November 27th. The Kindergarten acted "The Rainbow Fairies" with clouds and a special rainbow all to themselves! This was followed by spirited Singing Game s from Form I. Mrs. Stokes, Miss Williams and Mrs. Heimann are to be c ongratulated upon these two performances. There were the usual doubts about the weather for A. A. Milne's "Toad of Toad's Hall," adapted from Kenneth Grahame's "Wind in the Willows." The front half of Alfred was overheard to say: "My caravan cannot be used i f it rains, and it has been made especially for us"\ However, neither th e front nor back portions of our very handsome grey and black Alfred wer e deprived of the pleasure of drawing the gaily-painted caravan, as fort unately the afternoon proved fine. The play was acted on the Junior School lawn and the scenes shifted f rom "The River Bank" to the "Court House," "The Dungeon" and others w ith the minimum amount of scenery, in true Shakespearean tradition. C redit is due to Miss Bury and her Upper and Lower IV Stage Managers f or the speed with which any necessary changes were effected. The performance was a long and ambitious one, but all the actors lived and enjoyed their parts. M. Gnodde's performance as Toad was most spiri ted. J. Hardy made a shy and lovable Mole, the slim black Water Rat was well portrayed by J. Lezard, while L. Young was a fatherly and well-me aning Badger. The Judge (B. Johnstone), the Usher (P. Kemp), Phoebe (H. Udal), the Washerwoman (A. Shaw) and the Chief Weasel (H. Collins), no t forgetting Alfred (H. Cubitt and L. Thackwray), will long be remember ed for the verve and charm of their acting. The voices of the actors throughout were well pitched, and the back rows of the upstairs gallery assured us that they could hear every line of the pla y, which spoke well for the clarity of diction. 26 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. The play was produced by Miss Goodwin, helped by Miss Mackinnon and Mi ss Chard. The excellence of their work was proved by the apparent spon taneity of the production, with no self-consciousness, no pauses, and no visible hitches. Only those who have got up plays themselves know h ow much hard work goes to achieve that effect of impromptu, and how mu ch wisdom, to keep the right side of the narrow line between perfectio n and staleness. The play was enlivened by charming solos and choruses, coached by Mis s Clendinnen, Miss Pudney and Miss Sutherland, and the animal costume s were realistic without being overelaborate. Tea was served on the Swimming Bath Lawn, and afterwards the parents w ere taken by their respective daughters to see the Handwork Display in the Hall, and the year's drawings and exercise books on view in each classroom. Toad of Toad Hall. Toad was rich, we all know that! And also he was very fat. Badger, he was old and grey, And did a good deal in the play. Rat and Mole were also there, And Alfred was the big grey mare. The Usher was a clever lad, And oh! wasn't the Judge glad When Toad was taken to the dungeon By t he Policeman, with his truncheon. The Weasel was dear Rattie's foe, • And he sat in the Jury's row. Brave Toad escaped!'Twas Phoebe's art, And there the Washerwoman played her part. The Stoats and Weasels to ok Toad Hall, The Riverside residence, great and tall. When Toad claimed Toad Hall once more, He was still as proud as before. Bernys Rissik. Aged 11. Upper IV. THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. Summer Heat. 27 The day was hot and dreary, The farmer lay and snored. The pigs were grunting lazily. The whole farm world seemed bored. The windmill had ceased turning, It now stood old and worn; The cows were mooing foolishly, The hens looked all forlorn. Winter Cold. A tall tree stands without a leaf, The snow falls all around. A bird tries hard to find a worm; In vain he pecks the ground. He only finds it hurts his beak, So sits upon a branch to weep. Pauline Ribbans. Age 11. Lower IV. Gum Trees. Not unlike A cocoanut palm. Silvery trunks stand Straight and calm, Each leaf sparkles In the light, Helping to make A pattern bright. Surely a monkey One must be To climb the trunk Of such a tree. Sometimes, alas, Condemned or abused To behead them A chopper is used. The boughs swaying In the breeze Bring the whisper Of lazy seas. How desolate would The Transvaal be Without the noble Blue Gum tree. Daphne Hill. Age 9. Lower IV. 28 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. Gum Trees. Towering high above all Stand the gum trees tall. The grey green leaves show dark Against the moon-drenched bark. The leaves whisper to themselves Like chattering goblins and elves. "Here come those cruel men again; We're old, I know," but all in vain. "Why must they chop our branches down, Our leaves, our trunk and bark pale brown? They come to-day with axe and rope To chop us down, but still we hope T o keep our view o'er other trees And feel our leaves sway in the breeze ." Then up the ladder climbs the man, With rope to the top as fast as he can. He used that cruel axe and chopped, And we found our branches lopped. "Ready, boys?" cried the man. "Yes," said the boys, and at once began To pull the ropes. Alas, alack, We heard and felt a dreadful crack. Then crashing to the ground we went And many a branch and bough was bent. Again we push towards the sky And feel our branches waving high To keep our view o'er other trees And feel our leaves sway in the breeze. Louise Young. Age 11. Upper IV. THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. The first day of the Play dawned cold and very windy, and the school wat ched the weather anxiously; but at eleven o'clock the sun was bright and hot, and the wind had died down. The visitors arrived in good time, and sat down expectantly. Miss Le Mait re made a short speech at the beginning of the performance, to tell the a udience that two of the principal actors had fallen out at the last minut e, and the visitors must be tolerant; these actors were Launcelot Gobbo a nd Shylock. Then the play began, and everyone settled down to enjoy it. The wanderi ng minstrel, who opened fire on the audience with a charming song, was warmly applauded, and disappeared grinning, with a small fortune collec ted from Antonio and his friends. THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. 29 The costumes of the players' were most admired by the audience, judgin g from the many appreciative remarks wafted here and there. Towards th e end of the performance the audience "began to feel the cold and were very glad of the rugs brought round by the prefects. After the trial scene, bowls were brought round and a collection was made for the Children's Aid. After the play the visitors dispersed with agreeable impressions of moons, rings and reconciliations. B. Kerr. We append a report of the play from The Star. "Lady Duncan was present at the production of 'The Merchant of Venice,' given by the pupils of Roedean School on behalf of the Children's Aid Society. Lady Duncan was received by the Principal, Miss Le Maitre. The play was staged out of doors, and a trellis covered with white banks ia rose in full flower, backed by a white wall, was as splendid a natura l drop scene as any actor could wish for, and the roof over the colonnad e that flanked the amphitheatre made an admirable balcony. For the last romantic scene in the garden at Belmont there was no need to imagine the moonlight, as the real moon shone in the sky above the g rassy stage. Shakespeare's plays, and The Merchant of Venice' as much as any of them, have suffered severely at the hands of amateurs, but the young actors a t Roedean avoided the pitfalls skilfully and brought a delightful freshn ess to the old story. Their diction in particular was excellent and every word was produced cl early and without strain-no mean feat for young people speaking out of d oors. Portia's famous speech, 'The quality of mercy,' was delivered in a comm endably natural and convincing manner. Eileen Morton, who took this par t, gave one of the best performances of the afternoon, her poise and he r understanding of the character being outstandingly good. Shylock was portrayed as a character to inspire sympathy. Milada Boucek a cquitted herself as the Jewish usurer very well indeed, especially as she had taken over the part at nine days' notice. At first not very emphatic , her acting increased in strength and reached a real climax during the t rial scene, which was acted throughout by all the players with dignity an d an appreciation of dramatic values. Katherine Greig made a charming youthful Bassanio, and Elizabeth Kean's Antonio was a suitably maturer contrast. Mary Wallace won many smiles from the audience with the robust joviality which she infused into Grat iona. 30 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. Dorothy Clarkson was a lively Nerissa, and the glimpses of Nesta Hillman as Jessica were delightful. Launcelot Gobbo deserves special mention, f or Ruth Bloch had but 24 hours in which to take over the part and she di d it with great spirit. [Margot Hammar made a rapid recovery, and gave a spirited rendering of the part on the second day.-K.B.] The production was in the experienced hands of Miss Baker, the English mistress, but the girls themselves took on the responsibilities of st age management, Suzanne Hodgson and Judy Nash being in charge. The richly-coloured costumes were designed by Mrs. Walker, and the in cidental music and songs were arranged by Miss Sutherland and Mrs. Do ugall, the two singers being Margaret Cardross Grant and Pamela Rice. " THE DRAMATIC SOCIETY. During the first term, the Senior Dramatic Society, under the energetic direction of Mrs. Roux, produced "The Rumour," embodying most of the m embers. This left an audience of Staff to applaud the performance. Mrs. Dougall very kindly put "The Lorian National Anthem" to music. The Cambridge and Matriculation forms gave a reading of Drinkwater's "A braham Lincoln" early in the term. As the cast was far too large for th e number of performers, each girl took two or three parts. Both "Abraha m Lincoln" and "The Rumour" were done in costume. Owing to the number of engagements this term, the Junior Dramatic Soci ety were unable to do any plays of their own, but many of the members took part in "The Rumour." Unfortunately Mrs. Roux left us at the end of the first term, and the so cieties languished. However the Junior Dramatic Society produced a costu me reading of "A Little Bit of Fame and Glory," with the help of C. Cram b. It was most thrilling, and greatly appreciated by a youthful audience . The Lower Fifth entertained us by a humorous sketch from the Arabian N ights called "Twice is Too Much." Miss Cowley undertook the running of the Junior Dramatic Society, and "Kings of Nomania" was produced in the third term. The play had a larg e cast, which included most of the members of the society. The perform ance was very amusing and most-enjoyable. Lower Fifth One gave a charming performance of a Nativity Plaj/ called T he Ox and the Ass" at the end of the Christmas term. Elaine Blakeway. THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. 31 THE ACTING COMPETITIONS. The acting competition was held this year on Saturday, March 26th. Mrs. Gray, the wife of Professor Gray, who is Professor of Social Sciences at the Witwatersrand University, very kindly came to judge the competition . Mrs. Gray, who has herself had extensive experience of acting, gave us a very interesting criticism after the performances, which should be help ful to individuals as well as to future producers. As last year, three m imes and a scene from a play had to be given by each house. The number o f rehearsals was not limited, but only two weeks' preparation was possib le. Mrs. Gray thought the standing of miming very high. The three mimes were: A solo, in which a girl was sewing when she hear d a knock on the door, and a parcel was handed her, which she opened, and had to indicate the contents thereof. The second mime was a scene at a photographer's, and the characters were, a photographer and assis tant, a child, to be protographed, and two attendant relatives. The la st mime was a classroom scene, and any monotony in this was avoided, a s each house had a different lesson, St. Katherine's a drawing class, St. Agnes' a singing class, and St. Ursula's a more normal everyday cl assroom. The Bears' mimes were excellent, but their scene from "Wild Decembers ," by Clemence Dane, did not come up to such a high standard. Mrs. Gray said she was surprised that the acting was so much less finis hed than the miming, but gave us some shrewd advice. When all was over Miss Le Maitre announced that St. Katherine's had won the cup, on point s, and thanked Mrs. Gray very much for her keen interest, and the troub le she had taken in giving us a detailed criticism of each mime and sce ne. ______F. M. Wallace. TENNIS REPORT. The results of the matches played during the first term were fairly succes sful, but this term they have not been quite as good as usual, as we have won only by very close margins, but still retain our place in the 1st Leag ue. The team has been keen, but in matches we do not "get going" properly un til the second round, which has had a retarding effect on the results. The House Singles and Doubles, which were played during the first term, were won by St. Ursula, St. Katherine coming second and St. Agnes thir d. The two very necessary new courts have provided a wider scope for tenn is throughout the school, and there are a number 32 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. of promising players in the lower forms, who should realise that the respo nsibility of holding our own in the Tennis League will soon fall upon them. We should like to thank Miss Pearse and Miss Taylor for coaching us and arranging friendly matches for the 2nd and 3rd teams. 1st VI. S. Jourdan. S. White (capt.). J. Scott. Z. Collins. M. Russell.

There a re two reasons for this; firstly, ten of last year's 1st XI played again i n this year's team, and secondly, we now play hockey during the second hal f of the first term, and not lacrosse, as we used to; this gives us an ext ra half-term of practice before our league matches begin. The 1st XI, which began the season very low down in the First League, e nded top of the First League with ten points, and won the Inter-Schools Hockey Shield. The 2nd XI won all its matches and rose from the Fourth League to the Third. Five 1st XI people were chosen to play for the Johannesburg Inter-School s teams. C. Kerr (R.I.), K. Greig (l.b.) and B. Dodson (c.h.) played for the First Team, and S. Jourdan (r.w.) and MJ. Raphaely (G.) played for the Second Team. The hockey throughout the school has reached a high standard, which, w e feel, is greatly due to the coaching and encouragement given us by M iss Pearse and Miss Taylor. We are very grateful to them.

Mr. Douglas, the goalie, proved to be a most amusing player . He came on to the field armed with a camp stool and a whistle. When th e ball was not down his end he used the camp stool. When the ball was do wn his end he used the whistle, to put our forwards off their shot. At h alf-time the score was 1-nil to the school; but the Fathers did not allo w this state of affairs to last long. When the whistle blew for time the score was one all. We played another five minutes each way, and at the end the score was 2-1 to the school. We thank Mr. Sherwell for collecting the team. The following fathers played:- G. Darwell. G. Douglas. 0. Sherwell. J. Pratt-Johnson. M. Sherwell (capt.). R. Stokes. E. Heimann. P. Lanson. L. Cubitt. J. Creighton-Jones. P. Davis. K. Greig. THE STAFF HOCKEY MATCH. Our excitement at the end of term was heightened by seeing hoary wisdom t urning out in djibbahs. This year the staff insisted that the school team should draw for places other than their own. With awful doubts the 1st X I took up their positions on the field, while the staff showed horrible c onfidence. However, at half time the score stood at 1-nil to the school; the staff showing distinct signs of fatigue. This year the positions of t he games mistresses were reversed; Miss Pearse umpired while Miss Taylor played an active back. Towards the end of the game the staff got to grips with the ball, the forwards showing the uproarious spectators how hockey should be played. Owing to the inexperience of the school forwards, comb ination was sadly lacking, but when the final whistle blew, the score sto od at 2-nil to the school. After the exhausting match tea was provided by Miss Conradie and wa s served in the Common Room. Diana Martin. 36 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. LACROSSE REPORT. The lacrosse in the Middle school has shown great improvement this season. This is chiefly because the Juniors have one term of stickwork practice b efore they come into the Senior school, whereas until last year they did n ot handle a crosse until they were in Lower V. The enthusiasm with which t he Middle school now tackle their lacrosse is gratifying to watch; and, al though their passing is a little wild and their methods a little short-sig hted, we feel that, in a few years' time, the school will have excellent p eople in its teams. The Upper school has not attained so high a standard. We have played two matches only this season, in which we could judge our standard of play as compared with that of other people. The first match against Kingsmead we lost by 5 goals to 3, and in our second match, aga inst the staff, we lost by 7 goals to 5. The only other matches were the house matches played at the beginning of the year, in which Bears won t he First XII cup. We are very grateful to Miss Taylor and Miss Pearse for the coaching the y have given us. M. Boucek, Captain. FIRST XII. G. M. Wallace. C. C. Kerr, p. H. Ogilvie. L.A. V. Evans. c.p. P. Brawn. r.a.

In the bright sunlight of Saturday afternoon, December 10th, we all trooped down to the pitch to see the Fathers' rounders match. At the beginning of the match, the girls seemed to be quite incapable of hitting the ball. But later they got into their stride. After the first innings the score was eig ht and a half rounders to six, to the school. At the end of the afternoon t he school had won by twenty-three and a half rounders to fifteen and a half . We thank the fathers who played, for giving up their valuable Saturday af ternoons. The following fathers played:- V. G. Darwell (capt.). A. Livingstone. E. White. 0. W. Sherwell. J. Creighton-Jones. R. White. L. B. Cubitt. J. C. Davies. K. Greig. THE GYMNASTIC COMPETITION. An unprecedented happening was recorded on November 22nd, the day of t he gym competition: the sun shone, and the teams did not labour under the difficulties of roaring floods, gushing waterspouts or thundering hail. The traditional atmosphere of damp discomfort was not apparent, owing to the clemency of the weather, and teams and spectators were eq ually grateful. After watching the various teams it was almost impossi ble to decide the winner before the result was announced. Lambs, capta ined by T. Frost, won the cup with 95%, Bears had 93%, and Cats 90%. Miss Finlay, who spent a strenuous afternoon judging the competition, s aid she thought the teams had worked together very well, and congratula ted Lambs on winning the cup. She said that in all the teams the exerci ses were light, but the entry into the gym and general movement were to o heavy. In the form competitions the Middle V team won the Junior cup and the U pper V the Senior cup. M. Wallace. 38 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. NEWS OF FRIENDS. 27 St. Andrew's Street, Melrose.

Mary now lives at Theka, about 30 miles from Nairobi and enjoys being in t ouch with civilization again. Beryl is going to England with her father in May. Scottie has just sent me the sad news of the death of MIS'S Cummins, w ho was for many years principal of Jeppe High School, where she did sp lendid pioneer work. The following letter came from Miss Edwards and I am sure you will want to have it in its entirety. My dear Lulu, So many of the Old Girls, and so many of our old friends have visited Ro edean during the past year, I thought you might like to have a word abou t them. I do very much hope that my faulty memory will not play me trick s, for I should hate to miss out the names of any of those whom it was s uch a pleasure to see. I shall begin with Good Friday, 1938. According to custom, I was plantin g stocks in the Terrace bed, when I saw Eleanor Hawarden Lewin walking towards me. It might have been 19------instead of 1938, except that she wasn't wearing a djibbah. Eleanor had co me out on a health trip, but was better, and we had a most satisfactory t alk. "His Nibs," her littlest brother, whom I had last seen in petticoats , was her chauffeur for the day. He was driving her about in his dashing sports car. Eleanor is now back at her work in London. Eleanor's visit, the first back here since she left school, was followed by another, ditto, from her sister, Polly, now Mrs. Seymour Brown. We r egret that Polly did not bring her adorable Tony to meet his grandmother s, but she was chaperoned by Beryl More, now Mrs. Thomson, another old L amb seeing Roedean for the first time since leaving school. The Lambs have been rallying in force. The faithfpl Maureen Guest came t o see us and reported several of our functions. She has left her newspap er work in Natal, and has taken it up here instead, which is very nice f or us because we see her oftener. 46 THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. Then Gwen Guest arrived out of the blue from Salisbury. She has been ill , but the only possible sign of any illness in her appearance, is her ex tremely elegant slimness. She has had to curtail her artistic work, howe ver, and this is very sad for a promising sculptor who was making succes sful headway. It was a great pleasure to have Miss Bayley staying in Johannesburg. Par t of the time she stayed with us and made herself most useful by helping out when Staff were indisposed. She then left for a trip to the Seychel les where she stayed with relations. She has just returned to South Afri ca and is staying in Durban for the moment, but she was not able, to our mutual regret, to come to Foundation week-end. Mrs. Taylor, our "Mrs. T." brought her eldest son with her when she vis ited us. He was married in the Christmas holidays, and both mother and son were looking forward ot the wedding when they came here. Miss Bayle y, Mrs. Taylor, and Miss Constance Wood, whom many who were once Junior s will remember with affection, all seem to have learned the trick of m aking time stand still, so little changed are they. Miss Wood is housek eeping at the British Memorial Hospital in Hong Kong. She loves the lif e there, and after this long leave intends to return once more to her work. Frankie Ziman and Joan Watson blew in one day. Frankie has "finished" her continental education, and has now gone to London to continue her English one. We have Joan's small sister in the Junior School now, and she tells me that she is longing for December to come because Joan is to be married then. Clare Emdon is back from England as a fully trained "dog-woman." Clare an d her sisters are much thrilled at the arrival of Clare's imported Scotch terrier bitch who was duly introduced to her grandmother the other day. It was fun meeting Grace Sneddon again after her training overseas. She and Penny Barry have opened a flower-shop called "Acacia" in Johannesb urg. We are quite sure that they will do well. There was a splendid muster of Old Girls at Foundation. It was so nice t o see Mavis Knight (nee Hallamore) once again. I do not think that she h as been back before to Roedean since she left school. Dorothy Sumner, persuaded by T.L., has at last broken the ice and stayed t o Foundation dinner. We hope that this is only the first of many times. Sh e is looking well after her trip THE AFRICAN ROEDEAN. 47 overseas with the family, but is, of course, missing Alfreda. We are glad to hear such radiant news of Alfreda. It was fun to see our good friend Joyce Jones again after her holiday o verseas. She did a great deal of the trip in her trusty car, which has come through 6,000 miles of overseas travel, besides taking Joyce and h er husband from here to East London and back from the Cape to Johannesb urg. Joyce did all the driving herself. On the Continent they travelled from Hamburg to Berlin, Leipsig, Nuremberg, Munich, Vienna, Gros-Gloch ner, Innsbruck. Here they met Pam Yovldon on walking tour. Pam waited t o see who were the people with a T.J. number to their car! Then they we nt to Lake Constance, up the Rhine, through Belgium to Rotterdam where they came in for Queen Wilhelmina's "40 Years a Queen" celebrations. Fr om Rotterdam they went to Scotland and then back to London. Joyce spent a week with Cecil Bissett (nee Myers) at Bampton near Oxford. Cecil is a most efficient homemaker and has a charming house and garden. Cecil motored Joyce to see Lucy Sutherland in her beautiful "digs" at Somervi lle College, Oxford. Lucy has Mr. GyngelVs excellent portrait of her fa ther in her sitting-room, and possesses a week-end cottage in the count ry. It is wonderful to have Miss Lawrence and Scottie with us again. We were t erribly sad not to have T.L. actually at Foundation, but it was nice to fe el that she was on the spot and recovering fairly rapidly. Scottie was wit h us, and that was a great joy. Now for two items of news. Mrs. Phillips, our "Mrs. Pips," has married Mr . Perfect and writes very happily from Middel-burg. Miss Margaret Holmes writes that she is to be married in August to Mr. Fred Birkett of East Ge duld. It is gratifying to think that we shall be keeping Miss Holmes in S outh Africa. Once more Miss Baker and I would like to acknowledge numbers of kind Ch ristmas greetings from Old Girls. We were touched to see how very speci ally some of the cards were chosen for our delectation. We thank the fo llowing for thinking of us: M. Adamson; 0. Archer-Brown; M. Boucek; E. Bovet, Deb and Philippa; P. Burrows; M. Cassidy; P. Cox; M. Cvetikos; B . Cyrus; D. Davies; A. Denby; J.

IN MEMORIAM. Gertrude Klooss. Miss Klooss, Matron of St. Katherine's House, died suddenly last Septemb er, just before the beginning of the third term 1938. She was buried in the Lutheran section of the cemetery at Brixton, and her funeral service was held in the Roedean Chapel. There were masses of beautiful flowers, sent by her fiance and friends, the Founders, Head Mistress, Staff, par ents, old girls and present girls. Miss Klooss is very much missed by us all at Roedean. Some of her frie nds wish to perpetuate her memory by some kind of memorial at school. Anyone who would like to subscribe to this object should send her cont ribution to Miss Edwards at Roedean; so far Miss Edwards has received about £10. K. B. "Kloossie." Gertrude Klooss came to be matron of St. Katherine's House in 1926. For twelve years she waged a vigorous, albeit kindly, war against any form o f untidiness or disorder. She had the greatest affection for every nook and cranny of St. Katherine's and she mothered all its inhabitants. Her intense delight over every House victory on the games field was complete ly spontaneous, and she polished the silver leaves on the staircase as i f each one were her own. Generations of Old Girls were always sure of a welcome in Kloossie's ro om, and never failed to pay her a visit. She knew and loved them all, a nd always there was a chuckling reminiscence of some childish escapade. Kloossie remembered everything and everybody: and she would put away a ll the important things into the deep inside cupboards of her heart and mind just as she stored away her treasures in the cupboards of her Hou se. Her personal life cannot in the nature of things have been a very happy one, but she subordinated all her own interests to those of the people s he loved.
