Learning co-operation and developing sportsmanship are royal traits necessary in Catholic women. So, while forming principles of queenly living, the girls are able to take part in worthwhile activity. The last section of TIARA is a tribute to friends of education who have taken an interest in and have supported the Queenis court. Each teacher, student, subject and activity forms an integral part of the royal atmosphere. Visitors to the court are invited to turn the pages now, and enjoy themselves in the presence of Her Royal Highness. 5
