JANUARY:

The new Term began and we settled down quickly to study for the coming half-year examinations.

FEBRUARY:

Three Days' Retreat given by Reverend Father Thwaites, S. J. We all remember the final Holy Hour and also the enrolment of so many of us as Handmaids of the Blessed Sacrament.

Miss Partridge of the War Office gave a talk to the Vth and VIth Forms on Careers in the War Office. We are pleased to know that, as a result, Linda Burroughs has now taken up an appointment there.

MARCH:

Ideal Homes' Exhibition. Mrs. Walsh and Sister May took a party by coach to the Exhibition, and the day was a great success.

March 17th: Saint Patrick's Day. We Welcomed the Netball Teams from our Convent at Stakes and enjoyed the matches. It was a great pleasure to see Reverend Mother Howe, who came with the girls, and we enjoyed showing our visitors round the house.

Evening of Movement: Every type of P.E. work arranged and conducted in the manner of the normal class-routine rather than in a formal display. Mrs. Dane is to be congratulated on her excellent organisation and the high standard of performance.

APRIL:

The Lord of Death', a Passion Play, was performed by the Senior Speech and Drama Group. The sincerity and conviction of those taking part was most im,pressive, especially the acting of the principal characters, Mary Hancock, Carol Wickham, Diana Burleigh and Glynis Robinson.

MAY:

Forms IV and IVA were taken by Sister Ruth Mary to visit `the Vyne'. An account of this historical expedition will be found in the present Magazine. We are already looking forward to the next trip.

JUNE:

Visit to Malmesbury and Parson's Dairy by the Senior Domestic Science classes.

Feast of the Sacred Heart. The Consecration was renewed after Father Enright had spoken to us on devotion to the Sacred Heart.

Catholic Schools' Fete. We played our part by selling programmes and helping to supply and run the Convent Stall.
