Address by Dr. S.L. Osborne at the Memorial Service for Mrs. Hallpike, 9 September 1980. We give thanks this night for the life and work of Mrs. Hallpike. From the very day she entered this School to offer herself as a teacher, it was evident to me that for her the person was more im- portant than the thing, the life than the letter. Every student of hers knew the cost of discipline, the virtue of hard work, the necessity of undivided attention, and the reward of a task well done. She placed a high price upon honesty, in thought and in intent, in speech and in act, in particular that depth of honesty that probed our minds and startled us with the poignancy of its thrust. She was always searching for the truth; for her the half-truth was never more than an escape from responsibility. She was quick to perceive honour and integrity: when she found them her eyes lighted up in delight. To her, beauty could be found in the ex- pression of one ' s thought both in writing and in speech. More than once have I seen students come out of Mrs. Hallpike ' s class with tears in their eyes, having just seen a wondrous vision of the excellent unveiled in a manner they had never experienced before. How many of them lost all sense of time when she discoursed on the wonder of poetry, or the power of drama, or the grandeur of the novel, I shall never know: but they will be measured by the hundreds. She infused them with the love of language, until it became the very food of the soul. Mrs. Nanette Smith Hallpike O.L.C. 1955-1980 Now she is gone from our midst - and yet sh still lives in the memory of all who knew her a perceptive communicator of the world ' treasury.

Principal ' s Message It is accepted wisdom that if you have an important job to get done in a hurry ask a busy person. Glancing through the pages of this book one cannot but be impressed with the wealth of activity that takes place in our school. Given that our enrolment is small, it can be assumed that an awful lot of girls must be very busy. This is a good thing. Each girl who arrives at Trafalgar Castle comes seeking her special dream, she brings with her her special gifts. Most girls are successful at molding their dream from the material they find at hand after they get here; they are equally successful at melding their gifts with those of their schoolmates. However, each year a few fail to find what they came seeking. My advice to this latter group is to get involved. It is an old cliche but still vafid - a busy person is a happy person. It is sometimes argued that if a girl gets committed to extracurricular activities her marks will drop. I cannot accept this proposition. Proof that the opposite is often the case lies with the two editors of this excellent publication. Between them they have put in hundreds of hours making this book a reality. Still they are both in the Honour Society and vieing for top spot in their class. As always it is just a matter of organization and priorities. If further proof was needed that involvement is a positive factor than a look at the faces that populate these pages will demonstrate that time and again the girls that participate and lead are the same girls who achieve academic success. I conclude, therefore, with the admonition that every girl get as involved in school activities as time will permit. You will never regret it and you will look back through these pages in years to come with a sense of achievement and a feeling of pride that you were a vital part of this school. Craig Kamcke, Principal 4
