SAMARA 11 families, which we were glad to provide with part of the money usually spent on our sumptuous supper at the Christmas party. Our own simpler meal was all the more enjoyable. As regards school work, our Matriculatlion results last year reached a high standard of achievement: we congratulate all concerned, and offer our good wishes to these girls attempting the examination this year.

10 SAMARA Some interesting and original work in Art and Handicrafts has been done this year, and a deUghtfully varied display of it was shown at the Staff At Home before Christmas. Copies of the plaques from the Parthenon frieze, which hang in the school corridor, were made by Mary Lyman, Elizabeth McMillan and Barbara Brown, for reproduction in the Municipal Review. They are included in this issue of Samara. Mary also distinguished herself by winning a first class award at an Exhibi- tion of the Royal Drawing Society in London. Elizabeth McMillan and Catherine Ii-win gained 2nd class awards. As a result of the artistic efforts of Middle School forms, some most attractive friezes now adorn their form rooms, depicting the varied styles of costume through the centuries. We hope that the next addition to Elmwood properties will be a library book-plate. Suggestions are invited for a suitable design, to include the daffodil, symbol of the school, and a lamp, to indicate the light of knowledge. During the year, girls in the Art classes have vWted the National Gallery more than once, with Miss Gale; and Miss Fenwick also has given us an explanatory talk while showing us the pictures there. There are several politicians among us, and we have recently had our enthusiasm stirred by hearing a debate in the House of Commons. We have also learnt how money is made, by a visit to the Royal Mint; we did not need to learn how it goes! The Term before Christmas saw us all strenuously knitting garments for unemployed babies , as someone called them, and making other useful things. The total array was quite imposing when shown at the Handicraft display, and helped to swell the usual House collection for the destitute poor that we make at Christmas. This year our contribution included dinner for four
