On July 11th we gave an entertainment for our parents and friends on the lawn. There were songs, folk dances and choral speaking. The dramatisation of the story of the Three Bears by Preparatory amused everyone and we heard all the words.

The Maypole Dance was liked by all if we can judge by the amount of applause. The Ballet Class entertained us by a Circusthere were clowns, acrobats, ponies, seals and a tight-rope walker.

We were very sorry to say `Goodbye' to Mrs. Bingham at the end of the term as she was moving to Brighton. She has taught in the junior School for many years and junior III were always kept happy with the interesting activities she arranged.

First Communicants with Mother Wallace.

We also had to say `Goodbye' to Miss Boys, but in quite a different manner, for she came back to us in September as Mrs. Taylor. Her wedding was in August and some of us went to see her married.

We broke up on July 19th and Reverend Mother came to present our prizes. You will find a list of the prize-winners on another page.

The Junior School seems to have become a land of surprises! When we came back to school in September we found that a lovely library had been made in the room adjoining junior 11. Bright wallpaper, newly painted doors and windows, and shelves all round the room. We would like to say a big `Thank you' to Reverend Mother for so kindly having this done for us and she will be glad to know that we use the Library very often.

Mrs. Bingham has given us a very nice table for the room. Owing to the generosity of some parents we were able to have some more reference books, but the shelves are still rather empty and we would be grateful to anyone who would donate a book or book-token for the library.

We welcome Miss Kent, who has joined the Staff and who is teaching junior II. There is no chance, or wish, to fall asleep during her lessons! Miss Faupel is now teaching junior III, so that those who were in her Form last year still benefit from her thorough training.

On December 9th we are having a Christmas Play which many parents will have enjoyed before the Magazine is read. We are also having a Bring-and-Buy Sale, where we shall be able to buy some of our Christmas presents. The proceeds are in aid of the Famine Relief Fund.

We were very pleased to see Mother Pannell and Sister Philomena Doherty this term. They still remember some of us and we do not forget to pray for the Nursery School in Manchester.

We are putting up our cribs in our classrooms and in the Playroom there is an Advent wreath. All this reminds us to prepare for the coming of the Child Jesus and we ask Him to bless your Christmas too.
