Rita Donohue (Allum) and her husband came to see the Nuns after their honeymoon. Mary Allum is teaching at St. Walburga's.

Barbara is doing Domestic Science at Leeds, Anne-Marie continuing her work at Occupational Therapy in London. Another newly wed who brought her husband to be intro duced was Susan (Welch).

Gladys O'Shea and her husband have returned from Kenya and are now living at Lymington, quite near Beatrice (Moulton). We were sorry to hear of the death of Beatrice's husband after a long illness.

Mrs. Browning (R. de Sousa) gives news of all the family. Mary Brooks is still in Rhodesia, Pauline and Gay are in England, Christine in America and Paddy was hoping she might get in touch with Stephanie de Charmoy in Australia.

Anne White (Adams) brought Catherine with her when she was recently in Bournemouth. She had news of Barbara, Daphne and Angela Trew. Anne, now living in Cheltenham, does not see Molly Dedman (Orpin) so frequently as when she was in Kent, but they correspond as Molly is godmother to Anne's daughter Catherine.

The School Staff includes a number of Past Pupils. Patsie Mackenzie is responsible for the English and History in the examination Forms, and the number of girls wishing to take these subjects speaks for itself.

Marjorie Wood is as indefatigable in school as she is in working for The Concrozian. Her enthusiasm puts many of the younger folks to shame and her Form IA is always buzzing with interests, and the private magazines produced by her English classes are excellent.

Margaret Conway (Jones) is a nextdoor neighbour as well as a member of the Staff. She keeps in touch with Clare Blanshard and Betty Haddy (Bleeck). Jean Walsh (Hughes) is training the future housewives of the Convent and we know that she and her classes will be ready to cater for any school event that occurs.

Sister Ruth Mary (Brown) is in charge of the History and the Library - and, most important in the eyes of the "packers", of the silver paper and milk-tops.

These are collected and packed regularly and a steady sum collected each term for the Missions. Mary Lee and Susan Fendley are in the Staff of the Junior School. Susan is proving an energetic and reliable Chairman of the Concrozians.

Other faithful members of the Committee are Geraldine Nicholls (Many), Clare Rogers (Habgood) and her sister Margaret.

Sheila Murray (McFadden) and Ameba Burton (Berde) are trying to contact all former pupils who were in their year so that they may have a real reunion in January at the Annual Dance. Margaret Collins will not be there as she entered the Novitiate of the Little Sisters of the Assumption in October.

Monica Hyland (Hughes) is also unable to attend as her family are living abroad - in Africa, as far as we know. Margaret Roberts (Shorman) is coming home for Christmas. She will surely meet Josephine Daly, who continues her work as Welfare Officer under the Surrey County Council.

Margaret Mary Manning (Brown) spent a holiday in Bournemouth with the children, who enjoyed exploring the school premises. Mary Morton (Hennessy) also spent the summer holidays here, with the girls, all of whom are at the Ursuline Convent in Wimbledon.

Barbara Tanner (Browning) is another resident in that area. She comes most faithfully to the Reunion, and last time was with Jacqueline Eid (Brewer), who brought Madeleine and her baby sister.

Those who are at College usually find time to come and tell of their experiences when they are at home on holiday. Carol Reel has returned to College in Scotland to do the one year training course for teachers, as she took a teaching post after getting her degree, but considered it wiser to train.

Margaret Hudson was with Carol when she called at the Convent. Margaret took a teaching post in Canada. Peggy Robinson has returned to Rhodesia to take on the Headship of a school in Salisbury.

Those who visit the Convent so often send good wishes to Mother Helen, Mother Howe and Mother McEvoy, recalling their schooldays under their care.

Frances Lewis (Vick), who had a long chat when she called at the Convent while visiting her mother, gave news also of Barbara.

Mildred Latheron (Scott), while on holiday here, brought her family, hoping to see Mother Helen, who happened to be at our House in Manchester, just when Mildred had travelled down from the North. Our former pupils seem to be gravitating to the Northern Universities and Domestic Science Colleges

Gillian Matterface, who is training for P.E. at Sunderland, manages an occasional trip to Boscombe, when she stays with her cousin, Diana Hausey.

Mention must be made of those very faithful older members of the Association who remain so loyal and who kept up contacts before the organisation of the Concrozians on its new basis.

May and Queenie Cooney send flowers every Christmas from Johannesburg. Maria Bertini usually manages a visit once a year. She will miss her chat about old times with Mother Welstead, who is now at Springhill. Sister Barbara, I.B.V.M., her sister Lily, is now at the Convent in Shaftesbury.

Dorothy Tucker (Hobbs) was recuperating after an operation on her leg the last time she called at the Convent. Rita Browning attends all the functions as President of the Association and is a link with so many groups through her own family and their friends.

Irene Dunnett, happily settled in the Guest House of our Convent at Angmering, is always pleased to have news of Boscombe.

Marjorie Lewis-Manning (Lloyd) keeps in touch with the Convent, and the beautiful flowers which she sends for the Christmas altar are much appreciated. We are sure that those who were at school with her will pray for Mildred Briggs, who is still in hospital and suffers very much.

Sister Maria Gertrude Sohle keeps in touch with a number of her former pupils, including Betty Trotter (Clark), and she likes to have the Concrozier news sent to her at Springhill.

It is impossible to mention every name, so we have tried to avoid repeating news given in the four issues of The Concroxier published since the last Magazine.

If you want more news about your friends and about Past Pupils in general, be sure to come to the Annual General Meeting. We look forward to welcoming a large number, so do not forget the date. Come and bring any school friends who may not have received a personal invitation.

A very happy Christmas to you all and may God bless all our former pupils and their families.
