We also wish to welcome Miss Haire, who arrived a little later to take Miss Odell ' s place and Miss Greene who has been here since the beginning of this term.

We were very sorry that Miss Odell had to leave us so unexpectedly because of ill-health and we are glad to have had recent news of her and to know that she is much better now. We would like also to thank Miss Roberston for all she did for us when she supplied for Miss Elliott, who had to give up her work, owing to illness, just before Christmas. We would like to congratulate the girls who were successful in their matriculation examinations last year. The results were excellent.

We came back to school in September to find a new hall, class- rooms, library, music-room, practice-room and property rooms. The hall was made larger and will now hold about 300 people. We have six large, airy and bright new class-rooms above and they are indeed a pleasure to work in. The stage we hold as one of our proudest possessions and we are going to feel very important when acting on it. Under the stage we have a small study r om and dressing and property rooms; a music room containing a new baby grand piano and leading out from this a practice room. The old Senior Class-room is now transformed into a beautiful library and reception room. The furnishings are very beautiful and the pictures are lovely. On two sides of this room there are dark oak bookcases which are rapidly being filled with all kinds of useful and attractive volumes — Geography, History, Biography,
