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

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.
