FORM VI. GIRLS
It is desired that an impartial observer should leave for succeeding
generations a summary of the more subtle traits of the elite of the
school, the girls of Sixth Form. From the Olympian heights of
detachment, or apathy, induced by the approach of Senior, we present
to you our Form Personalities.
Glenys Jarrett is the school captain and countries to carry out her
onerous social, sporting and administrative duties with inherent dignity.
Judy Cafferky, besides winning the Senior Girls’ Tennis Championship,
for which we congratulate her, has astonished all her friends with the
steadiness of her character. Frances Ede shares the position of social
star of the class, with Maureen Eardley, who is not afraid to experiment
boldly in certain fields, while Frances, our swimming expert, is now
showing remarkable interest in her studies. Maureen is our class
captain and so, naturally, a model student.
Gwen Reese, a fleet-footed maiden whose voice is ever “soft and
low, an excellent thing in woman,” is doubtlessly well-known as the
shrinking violet of the class. One innocent gentleman has been heard
to remark : “Was her hair always that colour? ”
Toni Farrell frequently leads the girls in informal debates and is
the artist of the class. She is one of our Judo experts and a staunch
upholder of the Old English traditions. Kay Brookes, the class camera
fiend, is one of our more diligent scholars. A remarkable young woman,
she has been heard to express a liking for Latin and Maths. II. Our
other Judo expert is Pat Jeffcoat, who has been known to take driving
lessons which, however, have produced no noticeably beneficial effect.
Wilma Philipoom, the social belle of the Cleveland line, has a great
interest in languages and is making efforts in self-education in some
subjects. Jill Armstrong, formerly one of the “young ladies,” has a
remarkable dual interest in study and social activities, and somehow
manages to keep up with both. Ann Neilsen is one of our few remaining
Commercial students and assists with enthusiasm in the running of
some school activities. Evade McMaster is our singing star, frequently
taking part in eisteddfod, but for some reason she is worried about
Senior.
Lyn Allen, besides holding the opinion that New Guinea is the only
place worth living in, is an advocate of the pleasant art of letter-writing.
Vivien Chantler, whose scholastic brilliance may win academic honours
for the school, is an insatiable reader and, when wanted, may be found
in the middle of a book. Ruth Millar is another of the Cleveland natives.
A talented pianiste and former choir accompanist, Ruth believes in
studying hard. We hope that her recent illnesses will not affect her
work in Senior.
Having thus described faithfully our Senior girls, we would like to
thank our teachers for their strenuous efforts on our behalf, and to wish
them happy holidays in which to recover.

FORM V.
This year a bigger, brighter (?) better Fifth Form has been
released, together with the “biggest”, best and brightest Form teacher
of them all.
And now to all those things which have made Fifth Form so
famous. First of all there are those two lovable, adorable characters
from down the line, “Rodney” and "Butch”. Equally famous, mainly
for his terrific speed on (and off) the athletic field, is Stuart Robinson.
Talking of athletics, Fifth Form filled six of the first thirteen places,
