All the years in between have been happy, but none so r ewarding as this, when I have had the pleasure of leading Nightingale. Each and every one of you has made a wonderful contribution in her own field; 1 particularly thank the juniors, who, through their excellent academic achievements and good behaviour, have helped us win so many red stars. They may have to wait a year or two before they reap the rewards which come with senior school life, but their enthusiastic co-operation I cannot forget. To the older girls go my thanks for their keen support and efforts during the year in all house activities, climaxed by our tying for the Senior Cup on Sports Day. Also from the senior school have come many active monitors whose help could always be relied upon. This year we were honoured to have both the Head Girl and Head Prefect from Nightingale. I have been very proud to be in the house whose members so well uphold its motto; Not for ourselves alone, It is those little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness which make our characters, and though it may sometimes not seem like it, those little acts are noticed and remembered. So thank you for your cheerfuUness and your support. Good luck to all of you next year, wherever you may be. Love, Caroline 18

SPORTS NOTES This year once again, sports played an important role in the school activities. Sports have been under the direction of Miss, Driscoll who put in much time and effort to organize Inter- house Volleyball and Basketball. The Volleyball and Basketball game caused much excitement as all games were very close. However, Keller won both sports under the leadership of Debbie Monk and Katie Scott. Sandy Burke- Robertson and Audrey Loeb, sports captains of Fry and Nightingale, whole-heartedly encouraged their teams and the sportsmanship of all the girls was evident. The highlight of the Basketball season was the game against Strathallan. It was a quick- moving game and the score was very even. However, Elmwood won 37-35. Everyone enjoyed this exchange weekend! This year Miss. Driscoll decided to have the whole school do rhythmlic exercises on Sports Day. The school in the end rose to the occasion, for during rehearsals many people did not know the correct timing and this caused problems! Our hard work paid off! Tennis and badminton enthusiasts were often seen on the tennis courts and on the grounds, and those who practiced conscientiously had a chance to show their skill in the tournaments held. Skiing and skating were the popular winter sports. Often at break and lunch the skating rink was occupied with girls from all grades. Many thanks to all who helped with the school sports activities and I hope next year that all the girls will carry on sports with enthusiasm and a sense of fair play.
