Indeed, their lives, it is also something from many who have gone before have which all can gain added satisfaction for realised the barriers caused by time:­ what has been achieved in a year. Those who have left P.L.C. to join the workforce, work strictly from nine to five. Those who believed tertiary educa­ tion would offer escape from being a slave to time are still bound by lecture times and study times. Unfortunately, for those who are leaving the good times of P. L.C. behind, the future still holds the promise of measured time.

Many have wondered at the daunting prospect of spending twelve years out of a life-time in school. However, in these years, school is important in teaching the next generation how to use time effec­ tively. There is no room in this world of technology and vast unemployment for wasting time and possibly, missing opportunities. Everyone discovers time eventually, and when this occurs, people suddenly realise they're getting old.

9 Baird

1985 has been a great year for Baird, and Caroline, Sadie and I would like to say THANK YOU to all Bairdians for your continued enthusiasm and support throughout the year.

The first major event on the House calendar was the Inter­ House Swimming Competition. Baird House spirit was demonstrated at the trials when most of the Year 8s swam (with a little persuasion!) 50 metres of butterfly for a standard point. On the day of the carnival Baird performed to the best of her ability; however, it is a known fact that our talent lies elsewhere and the overall result was fifth place. Congratula­ tions to Meredith Hulcup of Year 10 and Rebecca Cotton of Year 11 for their outstanding per~ancesand thank you to Sadie for organising the event so "sItillfully.

The House Play provided an opportunity for many mem­ bers of the House to participate and work together as a team. The play was a creepy comedy named There's a ghost in the Basement, M'Lord and the cast was so talented that some of them actually made print in the Post newspaper-what starsl The audience commented that some of the appeal of the play was due to the set-so thank you, Jemma Hardie and her crew, and to Jocelyn Bunny for once again helping out with the lighting. Thank you to all of the actresses who sacrificed their free time and came to rehearsals and a special congra­ tulation to Rebecca Cotton who was Runner-up Best Actress for Year 11. Finally (and most importantly), Arts Captain, Caroline Woodend must be thanked and congratulated for her boundless enthusiasm and magnificent direction - a job well doneI

The Performing and Functional Arts day was hectic for everyone at P.L.C. and it was interesting to see such hidden talent in Baird. So many people supported the House on this day that it is difficult to know whom to mention - however we did have some outstanding performances (congratulations to Lisa Nottle for her bagpipe solol). Thanks must also go to the Year 11 delegates who helped make the day run so smoothly. Baird (being such an industrious house), went well in the Functional Arts and this was due to the work of many talented individuals. Congratulations to Jemma Hardie for her dress­ making, Sally Hore for her Art and Craft entries and Caroline Woodend for her success in the literature category. In the Athletics Carnival Baird performed well. However, unfortunately some of our best athletes were injured and we gained fourth place. In the weeks leading up to the competi­ tion the majority of the House participated for standard points and thanks go to the more enthusiastic Year 12s and Year 8s. Congratulations to Jessamy Carroll who was Year 9 Champion.

This year, each House had a major fund-raising event and we had a competition in which the price of a food hamper had to be guessed. This event was a great success and every member of the House was involved either by selling tickets or donating food. Many thanks go to Anthea Brown- Baird's Cot and Relief representative for her organisation of this event.

Baird performed extremely well in Inter-House Sports such as hockey, tennis, netball, basketball, volleyball and softball demonstrating overwhelming team spirit. Other events in which Baird House spirit was evident were the "Anti-litter Campaign" when house teacher time was spent laboriously painting orange feet to lead to the bins around the school, and in Inter-House debating (congratulations to Shelly Brand, Alex Easton and Meredith Hulcup for making the final round).

Caroline, Sadie and I have thoroughly enjoyed being officials of such a wonderful House and we would like to thank not only the girls but also the teachers and especially Miss Wright for her help and support as House Adviser.

Best of luck to the officials of 1986 and welcome back to Mrs. Hausteadl

FIONA FRAZER, CAROLINE WOODEND, SADIE PURSER. Year 12 Carmichael

Fellow Carmichaelians, congratulations on such an action· packed and successful year. After being awarded Champion House last year, we had quite a high standard to live up to and with high spirits and plenty of talent we have maintained such a standard.

Our time as House Captains started well by gaining first place in House Choir with a song called "Summer Sunshine". With the Inter·House Swimming next we were helped along by Talia Edelman (Year 9) and Tiffanie Trail (Year 12) both being champions for their year. Also with the tremendous enthusiasm from staff and students we managed a creditable second.

The first Arts activity for the year was Debating in which we were successful in Year 8 and Years 11 and 12. During the first few weeks of second term, there was a mad panic to get the House Play ready in time for the final performance date. On the actual night, the cast and crew performed magnifi­ cently winning the Best Play, under the direction of Morwenna Lang, who also won Best Director. Out of four possible awards for Best Actresses, Carmichael won three: Best Actress- Alex Jones, Best Character Actress - Sally Robson and Runner-up-Anna Robson.

Following the House Plays was the Annual Arts Festival. Due to the participation and efforts of the whole House, we gained places of first in the Performing Arts, third in the Functional Arts and second over-all.

Well into second term, for the first time ever, an Inter­ House Cross Country Competition was held at Per!'y Lakes. This proved to be successful as Carmichael gained first place which was largely due to the involvement of many enthusiastic girls to fill the required number of competitors in each team. We continued our run of success in the sporting field by obtaining a good second place in the Gym Competition only a few weeks later.

In the last week of second term, the Inter-House Athletics Carnival was held. Following last year's success in the marching, we won it again (surprising, as we realised at the last minute we were facing the wrong wayl) and we gained third place overall, with Georgie Dutry receiving Runner-up Year 8 Champion.

I would like to thank Tiffanie Trail for her over-all contribution to the House-especially in her position as Sports Captain in the early part of the year. Due to Tiffanie's commitment to diving, Jenny Hadley was elected to take over this position.

My job as House Captain has been enjoyable and rewarding and my special thanks must go to my team: Morwenna Lang, "Arts", and Jenny Hadley, "Sports". None of Carmichael's great achievements would have been possible without the consistent help and wonderful enthusiasm and house spirit from our House Advisor, Mrs. Jarvis. Our thanks must go to her in particular and to all Carmichael House members for their vital support throughout the year.

Just a little pearl of wisdom for future House officials: use your time as captains well and make the most of it, since what you set out to do is often not achieved in the limited time. In my term as captain I accomplished only a little of what I set out to achieve for the House; but what I did was done well because of the great support and encouragement from the House.

Good luck to future House officials and I hope you gain as much satisfaction and enjoyment as I have.

JANET BOWMAN,jENNY HADLEY, MORWENNA LANG. Year 12 , Fer~usoI)

What has Ferguson achieved this year? This was the first question I thought of when asked to write this report. I phoned the Sports Captain and Arts Captain and asked them about their respective fields and I was given the statistics involved. I was given a long list of award winners and place getters in about 15 separate competitions. I did not know where to start, then I remembered something I have been told for the past 12 years at P. L.C. - as a member of your House you work with the others as a team - a House is only successful if everyone works together.

During this year. Karyn. Diana and myself have aimed at developing this team into a functional and working unit. Faced with 120 students this did. at first, seem daunting but believe me, the first House meeting certainly got a lot of systems working and always there was satisfaction waiting.

Achievements? Well there have been plenty. During the second week back at school. the Inter-House Swimming Competition was held and Fergl'son was jubilant once again. The star-studded array of swimmers was led by Year 8 Champion Kate Davenport and Year 10 Champion Joanne Jarrot. It was a wonderful way to start the year off and filled us all with enthusiasm and confidence (and it was a terrific "conversation piece" at the second House meeting). Ferguson was also triumphant in the Senior Tennis. led by Diana. Teamed up with Julie Sandilands, Lisa Warner and Suzie Wishaw. they conquered the seemingly invincible Stewart House in a nail-biting final round.

In the Arts, second term brought on headaches for some but enjoyment for all. The Functional and Performing Arts Competition was a complete joy for the organisers. I would like specially to thank Karyn for the many hours spent on making it a success. Her charismatic character was conveyed to everyone and it was wonderful to see such participation in response to it. Ferguson was placed fourth in both competi­ tions. Nearly every girl played a part in the festival and my thanks go to each and everyone of them.

Although activities such as debating, basketball, netball, and others saw no victories. we were certainly not put to shame in any areas, and I hope and trust that fun was had by all. The House Play was perhaps the highlight of the Ferguson year. With about 40 girls involved, and more than 25 rehearsals, the meritorious second placing was well deserved. Special mention must be made of Cate England who carried off an incredibly hard job of playing Bobby Valentine in the play titled "Who is Bobby Valentine?" It was a well-chosen, well-acted and cleverly-directed play. Congratulations to all involved. This year the job of Cot and Relief went to Tracey Hicks and Libby Davy. Putting aside the cake and toffee stalls, they decided to hold a social for the Year lOs. It was originally going to be run by the Year 12 students only, however the intervention by the staff turned out to be greatly appreciated. The Year 12s were terrific (and it was perhaps the highlight of our social year!) We had a few minor troubles with some over-zealous window knockers but that didn't mar a wonderful night. The second task was the sale of chocolate bars, which was superbly successful and an activity no one minded participating in, to say the least. We raised about $350 from their sale - Thank heavens for chocolates! That just about brings an end to the job of Ferguson Captain for me. It was a wonderful and fulfilling year and I am thankful for the opportunity to have experienced it. The House officials are open to a lot of criticism and I only hope that. everyone is as considerate and tolerant with next year's officials as they have been with us.

I have enjoyed working with you all. Best of luck to those lucky three girls next year, Vanessa, Mischa and Suzie and a special thank you to Karyn and Diana and all the Year 12 girls.

SUSIE ORMONDE M.cNeil

Congratulations, McNeil, on a very successful year. It could not have been achieved without such enthusiasm, dedication, and the true House spirit which is typical of all "McNeilians".

It was evident from the beginning of the year that we would go on to "bigger and better things" after we achieved fourth place in the Swimming Carnival. Amy Somes, in a fine performance, achieved the title of Runner-up Champion Swimmer of Year 11.

McNeil began the Arts year with very successful results in the Inter-House debating, winning the Year 8 and Year 10 competitions and gaining first place overall. Further proof of McNeil's ability in the area of Arts continued with their success in winning the Functional and Performing Arts.

Throughout all Arts aCtiVIties, particIpation and· enthusiasm were wonderful, especially in the younger years where some outstanding contributions were made. It is exciting to see such dedication in the lower school. These girls, who will carry this House spirit through to their senior years, are fine examples to the rest of McNeil.

Through the brilliant efforts of Kate Stannage, Fran Shoesmith, Bronte and Wendy Somes, Fiona Thunder and Jackie Pearse, McNeil won the Gymnastics Competition.

McNeil's Quiz Night, one of the many successful fund­ raising activities, was arranged by Rose Greay, Fiona Hitchcock and Fiona McLarty. Quizmaster for the evening was Mr. Mell and over $400 was raised for Cot and Relief.

The great task of the House Play was undertaken by our dedicated Arts Captain, Kate Wilson. Kate survived the unenviable task of directing, producing, casting and co-ordinating lighting for the play. It was great to see that girls from all years played a part in the large cast. In the course of rehearsals, we all became great friends. This, as well as the fine performance on "the night" served to make it· a joyful and worthwhile experience. The final major sporting event of the year was the Athletics Carnival. The day began with Mrs. Mac explaining to her fellow teachers that "we don't really expect to do all that well, after all, McNeil is the 'Arty House' ". She was soon to swallow her words as McNeil girls continued to astound spectators and delight fellow "McNeilians" in the never ending individual and team triumphs. Individual awards were given to: Amy Somes, Year 11 Champion; Jackie Pearse, Year 10 Champion; Fiona Thunder, Runner-up Year 9; and Fiona Lapsley, Year 9 Champion.

McNeil emerged the winner of the Inter-House Athletics Carnival.

Congratulations and well done, all who contributed to the House's success, especially to Ruth Benda, our Sports Captain, who, by her example and leadership, lifted everone's performance to help give us our great victory.

Kate, Ruth and I have had a lot of fun working together as great friends and a close team, sharing the responsibilities and tribulations of House officials.

We have also shared the invaluable experience of working in close association with our House Advisor, affectionately known as Mrs. "Mac". Without her unfailing support, McNeil could not have achieved these successes in the past year.

1985 has been a great experience for us as House officials. We trust that the girls responsible for the activities of the House in the future will gain as much pride and enjoyment as we did in fulfilling our roles.

CATHY KNEEBONE, KATE WILSON, RUTH BENDA. Year 12 Stewart

Little Green Stewart Elves- Well done. We have progressed in leaps and bounds this year. The fact that all the leaps have not been forward is of no conse­ quence-participation is the essence of the matter.

Swimming was our first activity for the year. Stewart participated and performed well in both the trials and the carnival to achieve the very good result of third. Tennis followed, with Stewart seniors Mindi, Georgie, Annalee and Anthea reaching the finals, although they did not quite manage to win the trophy. Stewart's volleyball teams did not have quite the same amount of success as the tennis players, but characteristic sportsmanship marked our performances. The Arts enthusiasts had only to prepare for Debating in first term. The Year lIs and 12s reached the finals, with Amanda being declared best speaker in the second round; however they were narrowly beaten in the finals. The Year 9 team was more successful; they won the finals with Kim Hughes (who was best speaker) well supported by Kathy Hay and Natasha Lee. To all debaters, well done and keep it up. Second term sport started with the seniors winning their way into the netball finals, but in the end they were narrowly beaten. The juniors fought hard but unfortunately lost in the early rounds. The seniors avenged this loss by winning con­ vincingly in the hockey finals, with Sarah Rankin and Kirsty Nicoll putting up an unbeatable defence, but the juniors, suffering from a lack of experienced hockey players, were defeated in the second round. Stewart's basketball skills need a little practice, however all who played tried hard in the true Stewart spirit. A huge effort was mounted to gain Stewart second place in the Functional Arts Competition with Vanessa Stewart putting in an exceptional effort. Stewart was not quite as successful in the Performing Arts, although all who partici­ pated performed well. Stewart House members again rallied to the cause for the House Play Competition. The cast worked hard throughout, overcoming the difficult atmosphere and pulling together on the night to produce a very moving play. Special mention must go to Erin Stretch who played a very difficult role creditably. Athletics saw the continuation of Stewart's determination when we gained the most standard points and came a credit­ able second in the carnival. All Stewartians gave their utmost to achieve this result. Congratulations to Felicity Watson who was Year 12 Champion. This year has been very rewarding for us due to the House's enthusiasm and willingness to "get in and have a go". We hope this support will continue for next year's officials. Good luck and thanks.

Joe BUNNY, AMANDA KEEP, JANE SEYMOUR. Year 12 Summers

Congratulations and thank you to all you Super Summers Supporters! This year has "zoomed" by quickly without us having had a moment to sit down and comprehend the positions we had to fulfil. Although Summers lacked any outstanding talent, we all contributed by putting our heads together and managing many tasks with the co-operative House spirit of all the girls. At the beginning of the year, everyone seemed a little hesitant to become involved in many activities, but by second term we were in full swing with the House spirit improving noticeably. The "Anti-litter Campaign" proved to be a huge success with all the House contributing by making colourful posters, and the braver girls marching around the school protesting about the litter problem. (Caroline Bannister was in the lead with the bass drum, Miranda on the cymbals and Shelly on the kazoo.) It was certainly the loudest and rowdiest protest we had ever experienced, with the girls chanting "Keep the scene clean" and "Put it in the bin". In the Inter-House Sports, Summers proved themselves winners in the senior and junior basketball, as well as the junior volleyball. Although we don't have many outstanding gymnasts, or athletes, many thanks must go to all girls who stood up and participated regardless of their capabilities. That shows real House enthusiasmI Summers also made a noticeable appear­ ance at the athletics when we marched as "Super Girls". The black and white costume was a real eye-catcher and enable us to score second place in the marching. It consisted of our Super Summers T shirt, bloomers and black stockings. Janine Bruce in Year 9 must get a special mention because she was busy throughout the year making many spectacular Summers banners for the swimming and athletics. Thank you, Janine, for your effective and useful masterpieces. Summers also achieved success in the Arts Festival with many girls contributing in both the Performing and Functional sections. Special thanks must go to A. Scott­ Murphy, K. Edis, S. Murray, R. Unsworth, N. Muir, S. Gillam, J. Hele, T. Keen, K. Paish, R. White, K. White, L. Twigg and V. Elliot for their outstanding support in these areas. A fabulous effort was made by all girls who were in the House Play "Not in the Guide Book". We will be remembered for the unplanned intermission. Congratulations to Megan Hele for her hysterical performance as "Florrie" for which she was awarded Runner-up Best Actress. The House also contributed to Cot and Relief by hosting a variety of cake stalls from all years ranging from "Party Time" food to ice-creams and the popular "spider" drinks. Also the stall at the Athletics proved to be a success. Many thanks must go to Miranda Picton-Warlow as the Summers Cot and Relief organiser. Overall, Summers has achieved much throughout the year. With the strengthening of the House spirit, we are convinced that Summers can do even better next year and can live up to its motto of "Aim High". Thank you again for your co-operation and best of luck for the officials of 1986 in maintaining the Super Summers Spirit.

STEPHANIE VAN DEN HOEK 25 CHOIR Concert Band Once again, the first day at choir rehearsal saw hoards of enthusiastic young singers attending. However, "As time went by", it was truly dedicated girls who attended regular choir rehearsals. With the prospect of missing Day 5 assembly, many additional girls managed to find some touch of singing ability, or else sat quietly in the back row miming the words. The choir's first major singing perfor­ mance was at the School Easter Service. It was a very moving Service, which was highlighted by the choir's valuable con­ tribution. Much is to be said for the choir's efforts and achievements. Second term was a challenging term for all .. Mr. Winstanley, who conducted the University Choral Society for a con­ cert in Winthrop Hall, asked for a con­ tribution of talented P.L.C. singers. Various members were chosen ranging from the school choir to the school chorale and this group was known as the "Winthrop Hall Choir". The choir sang a selection of three songs: "Sound the Trumpet" by Purcell, "David of the White Rock" and "Sing we Merrily" by David Ball. The concert was an enormous success and the choir's contribution was Back TOW, l. to T.: A. Zwicky, Y. Osta, C. Kennedy, . Muir, ]. Harkness, C. Smith, outstanding. The praise given to the K.

Many new string players from both th~ Junior and Senior School have joined and we have also been complemented with a good wind and brass section. We had good fun at the camp where the Winstanleys once again donated their time and came up and helped each,.day. The orchestra has played to the public on several occasions and has been a credit to the school.

It is I already quite large, consisting of five saxophones, four trombones, five trumpets, a bass and electric guitar, "kit", and piano. The enthusiam of the members has been very encouraging, and in third term we will be doing some lunch time concerts to raise money for Cot and Relief. The music ranges from old time greats, like Glenn Miller's "In the Mood", to modern day pieces like "The Greatest American Hero". To give the members of the band a wide variety of music we have all different styles: for example-Jazz, Rock and Roll and Blues. I hope that the enthusiasm will con­ tinue on in the future so that more people can enjoy real jazz, as it is a marvellous form of relaxation. My special thanks must go to Mr. Rust and 'Mr. James who helped with the realisation of my dream. Back TOW, l. to T.: G. Evans, K. Pitt, M. Robson, C. Sorensen, E. Pidgeon, F. Moir.

"Atten-tion". This order brought the P.L.C. Pipe Band to attention before marching down the Terrace in the 1985 Anzac Day March. 1985 has been an out­ standingly successful year in the develop­ ment of the band.

1984 Speech Night saw the first public wearing of the new uniform. Many thanks to the Mothers' Auxiliary for financing this venture.

The second Annual Music Camp to be held greatly benefited the band and all members appreciated the time and effort put in by all concerned. We have many more band turn-outs including the inter­ school athletics and the Perth Royal Show. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Miller without whom we could not have achieved so much.

Good luck to the band for next year.

The lessons were read by the Senior Boarder, Rebecca Matthews, and the Head Prefect, Alexandra Jones. A new dimension was added to the service in the form of a liturgical dance. This display of colour and movement was sincere and beautiful to watch.

The sermon "The Search of a Life Time" was delivered by Rev. N. J. Robb. His ideas on our futures and our direction in life were especially appreciated by this 29 COMPUTER CLUB YOUNG ACHIEVEMENT

45 tear 12 Dance

Pier 21 at dusk by the still waters of the Swan River was the setting for the culmi­ nation of many worrying weeks for the girls of Year 12. This year (after much debate!) it was decided that we would "be different" and have a dinner-dance, and so this venue was chosen. The big night began at 7.30 and proved to be very successful. We ate our dinner at approximately 8 p.m. (while trying not to spill it on our dressesl) and listened to the "jazzy" playing of the "Jam Tarts". After dinner, we danced the night away or sipped orange juice on the balcony. Romantic interludes under the stars were often short, due to the inevit­ able accidents of lost shoes floating past on the river. (No names mentioned!) The dance was a lovely respite from our studies and thanks must be given to Mrs. Bull and the Student Council for their patience and the effort put into organising a most successful evening.

YEAR 10 SOCIAL

It was with elation that the Year lOs greeted the news of a social. Three different boys' schools were invited, offering a wide variety of partners. On Saturday night, cars pulled up filled with teenagers who were off-loaded at the doorstep of the Claremont Towri Hall. Refreshments were served as both guys and girls stared in wonder at the elaborate array. It provided an excellent diversion from dancing. The evening proved most successful. Thanks to the Ferguson Year 12s and supervisors for an enjoyable evening.

KATE McARTHUR, Year 10 Year 11 Dance

In the weeks preceding 19th April, the night of the Year 11 Dance, it seemed that the only topics of conversation were styles of dresses and names of partners. While the Dance Committee made fran­ tic arrangements for decorations and a band, mums and dads were summoned to help and supervise.

When the evening finally arrived, the weeks of preparation all seemed worth­ while. As a glamorous procession of girls and their partners entered the gym, they were confronted by an extravaganza of black and white. Checks adorned the walls, streamers stretched across the gym and parachutes filled with black and white balloons were suspended from the ceiling.

The band for the night, "Thin Line", provided an excellent array of lively, energetic music that brought almost everyone to their feet, dancing (although the teachers obviously weren't game enough to competel). Some enthusiastic girls also graced us with their singing talents and assisted the lead singer.

Supper provided a welcome relief from the dance floor for those of us who had been particularly energetic, and all the food was delicious and appreciated by all.

By the end of the evening, it was evident that the exhausted, somewhat dishevelled, but spirited crowd of people had enjoyed the night immensely. The success of the evening was due to the terrific efforts of the Dance Committee, the mothers and fathers who assisted, the Year 10 boarders who also helped and especially the organisation by Mrs. Bull. Thanks for a great nightl

Congratulations to everyone who parti­ cipated in the 1985 tennis season. It was a tremendously successful year and I know, thoroughly enjoyed by all. Of the six teams entered, three senior and three junior, we managed to win two pennants. The Senior "A" team drew for first place with Penrhos (the first time P.L.C. has won Senior "A" since 1975). The other senior teams acquitted them­ selves just as well with the "B" team finishing second and the "C" team winning their pennant. Although the junior teams did not fare as well, their enthusiasm and good sports­ manship was greatly appreciated. The juniors finished seventh, fifth and fourth in the respective "A", "B" and "C" teams. I'd like to make special mention of the large number of Year 8s who, despite playing in only one social competition, attended morning training each week and show great potential. Senior Tennis.

We continued to brave the increasingly low temperatures of early mornings to attend rigorous training. This training led up to the State Life­ saving Carnival at Beatty Park with teams from all areas of the State competing. P.L.C. did very well with everyone putting in a very good effort. Unfortu­ nately we were not quite good enough to bring back any trophies-maybe next year! Thank you to the P.E. stafffor all their Senior Life-saving. Back row, t. to r.: C. Sorensen, J. Straton, L.

The points that each house accumu­ lated from this go towards the Inter­ House Athletics Carnival. The Inter-School Competition was held on the 9th of August and proved extremely successful.

This year the main feature of the girls in this year's volleyball teams was their enthusiastic participation, which was largely due to the inspiring encourage­ ment of our new coach, Mrs. MacLean. Although it took us a while to interpret her accent, she often provided many pearls of wisdom.

Once again commendable results were achieved by the P. L. C. hockey teams this year and as usual keen participation and good sportsmanship were displayed by all.

A Year 8 team was again able to com­ pete in a social competition this year, playing matches against St. Hilda's, M.L.C. and Swanbourne High School. The enthusiasm obvious in these Year 8s looks encouraging for the future.

Special mention must be made of Year 10 student, Sarah Rankin, who was selected to train with the Schoolgirls Under 16 Talent Squad. Congra­ tulations.

The athletics season at P.L.C. com­ menced with standards, which provided an opportunity for all girls to participate. It was most pleasing to see the number of girls who attended and particularly the enthusiasm and talent of our Year 8s.

The Inter-House Athletics Carnival, held at Perry Lakes, was an exciting and entertaining competition. McNeil won the trophy, however congratulations and thanks must go to all competitors and helpers.

The squad for the Inters was announced the next day and training commenced immediately. After the August holidays there were only ten training sessions in which to gain our fitness. All girls trained well and I was very happy to see so many red and perspiring faces leave the field.

By the time the Inters arrived, enthu­ siasm had mounted to an incredible high. All girls performed excellently and we were unlucky to be placed fifth overall as the scores were very close.
