Sound, don’t like the sound of Light, and not attracted to Mag
netism, and Electricity is plain shocking.
Geo. Drawing: “Square.”
English: Just look at these form notes.
Maths: Form has several calculating young ladies.
Some of our number have taken quite a keen interest in Anthropology.
or could it be Archaelogy ? It does not really matter much, as both are high
sounding words. At any rate we have already dug up some twenty-three
apple cores, that, we conjecture, were buried under the pine tree by last
year’s fifth form (dreadful types they were). We also claim to have found
the missing link, a strange creature, hairy, with an upright stance, and very
irrational in its habits and actions.
Many thanks, staff and pupils of the Wynnum High School for your
willing work in training us and helping us. Yes, teachers, we agree with
you. We are not working hard enough, and that is why we are so worried.
We have not actually counted the days to Senior yet. but as soon as we can
count up on our fingers, we’ll be right as rain. That is not very long to wait.

PARENTS’ AND CITIZENS’

ASSOCIATION - -

THE changing of the monthly meeting venue from the Municipal Hall to
the High School has met with great success and our attendances have
greatly Improved.
Another year’s effort has been recorded and we are pleased to say that
we have had really fine support.
We thank the Principal and his staff for the co-operation and help
they have given us during the past year.
The excellent work of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, under the leadership of
Mrs. Macaulay, and the untiring work of the Minute Secretary, Mrs. Perry,
has been appreciated by all.
Many parents ask, “What do we do with all the money we raise ?” We
give a library grant of £50 per year. We pay all expenses for Speech Night.
We provide play-ground seating, trestles and tables, visual aid equipment.
art pictures, plus those for the “Rogues Gallery” . basket and volley ball
court fixtures and a flag-pole. We also provide blazers for the boys who are
chosen to represent Queensland in the football teams.
We hope to have, soon, an all weather basketball court, which will cost
in the vicinity of £500. a tuck shop, expensive, but a good investment, and
dressing and shower rooms.
These are very necessary, though costly, but if parents realised how
Inconvenient the arrangements are for the staff and students, in respect of
changing for sports and physical training, they would be very sympathetic
towards this particular cause.
Throughout the year it has been very interesting to watch the progress
of the school, through being able to be present on “Special Occasion” days
and to hear the Principal’s report at our meeting on the second Monday of
each month.
Our best wishes go to the Principal and his staff for the coming vear.
