In October I had the pleasure of travelling with the Grade seven ' s on the annual colonial history expedition. I agree with the girls that the whole trip was of great educational value, and the Shelburne Museum is one of the most interesting places to visit. So much to do, so much to see all in one day! This year we have added to our already lengthy list of extra-curricular activities: a non-bake cooking club, painting on silk, stencilling, jazz dancing; and, under the direction of Miss Wendy Wren, drama and puppetry are alive and flourishing in Grades 1 to 6. April, May and June were three months of activity and excitement: The Independent Schools Music Festival, The Grade 8 trip to Washington, the Spring Concerts, the Grade 7 8 drama club production of As You Like It , Sports Day and, of course, final examinations! We have had a first happening . Eighteen Grade 7 students spent a week at the Nashoba Brooks school in Concord, Mass., and our new friends returned to spend several days with us. We are very excited about this exchange programme and hope that it will continue in future years. Thank you staff, students and parents. Your support and co-operation have made this a happy and successful year. DOROTHY J. BROUGH Staff STAFF MEMBERS: Back Row: Mrs. Clare, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Tasker, Mrs. Tollerton, Miss Wren.
