The Seniors have not allowed us very much space. Perhaps it is because they think us little and good! However, our ranks are nearly as long as theirs this year, since so many new girls have come to school. We are sure that this is an answer to the prayers which Reverend Mother asked us to say before the summer holidays.

Juniors, you know, are very busy people. Form Ila are beginning to prepare for the Senior School, and Form IIb to take their place as "Seniors" of the Junior School. Forms la and lb must look after the younger ones, whose classrooms are still in the Convent.

Transition Form are trying to forget that they were the babies last year, while the Preparatory, both those who work and those who play, are very much alive!

You will see from the Examination results that some of us have taken exams in Music, Elocution and Drawing.

Because we are such lucky little girls and have such a happy time at school, we try not to forget other children who have not all the good things that we enjoy.

In the Easter term, 1942, we collected for the Orphans of the diocese, and our money was sent to the Bishop. During October this year, we decided to buy 100 Black Babies, to mark the Centenary of the Holy Childhood which we all love.

Every 2s. 6d. bought a baby, and we were allowed to name it. It was very exciting to watch the ribbon move up and tip until it had passed the target mark. Finally we had more than 150 Black Babies. Everyone was delighted, although one of the babies asked sadly when she might have her black baby to take home and show mummy!

Christmas is very near. At the Crib we shall pray to Our Lord for our parents, teachers and also for Peace. We must ask our patron, St. Joseph, to take care of ns and keep us safe, as he watched over our Lady and the Infant Jesus.
