           Eunice Buzza and Lenette Urwin.
              In the class room are oft seen the furrowed brows of Margaret
           Smith and Wendy Davidson, among others solving the weighty problems
           set by Miss Nixon. Of course, these problems are inevitably overcome.
              The oft-heard remarks regarding the “excellent behaviour” and
           “dress sense” of the young ladies of 4C can only be due to the diligence
           in that direction of our much admired and respected Form Mistress, Miss
           Nixon.
              These stirring deeds can only be attributed to the zestful and faith
           ful, also vociferous support of our class mates who, 'though they only
           stand and wait, also serve. Mr. Williams, racqueteer of school teachers,
           believes in playing the game both in and out of school. It is his firm
           belief that, to attain the heights of proficiency, each pupil should have a
           blunted proboscis from being pressed to the grindstone. Our other
           Commercial teacher, Mr. Griffith, shares this belief also.
              We 4C many brilliant (?) passes for our tireless class mates who,
           with perspiring brows and pens clutched in their hot little hands, work
           unceasingly to achieve their ultimate aim—JUNIOR.


                          FORM 4D (“D” for Dreams)
                                Form Captain : Glenis Justins.
              4D consists of eleven girls who, one day, hope to be ideal house
           keeps and cooks. (Pity help the poor husbands). So far no casualties
           have resulted from our cooking, so here’s hoping.
              Our unfortunate Domestic Science teachers are Miss Golliker and
           Miss Bradley. Miss Golliker’s favourite advice is—"Well, girls, it
           doesn’t affect me, I’m not sitting for Junior.” Miss Bradley’s favourite
           expressions are “Clear?” and “ROT girl.”
              We share a room with some dull old 4A2s (we’d rather be with the
           Seniors), and our Form teacher, Miss Pigram, takes a delight in
           collecting her “fan” mail (absentee notes and impositions).
              LIKES : Holidays and Sunday Afternoons.
              DISLIKES : Last period Friday afternoon, marching up stairs,
           and Thursday dinner time.

                          Form Captains : Dorothy Ingram, David Ament.
              We are a tuneful, athletic, BRAINY, cheerful class, especially cheer.
           ful when we have Mr. Cox for Maths. A.
             Three members of the cadet unit bagpipe band are in the class, a
           drum major, drummer and a piper. There are four who learn the
           piano.
              3A1 is well off for athletes. Among our latest enrolments is Jeffrey
           Horsburgh, who, on sports lay, won the 220 yards race and some other
           events. He is a certain champ. Vincent Brown is a future athlete, while
           John Stewart is our prize tribal fighter. Our tennis star is David
           Banney.
              Pam Clark is an excellent swimmer, winning nearly every race that
           she enters. Isobel Smillie is also a good runner in the girl’s section—
           while Stephanie Smart is our ballet dancer. Trevor Neibling is an
           excellent cricketer. He excells in batting and has made a few high
           scores.
              Among our brainy ones is Valerie Harris, who won a bursary
