are our best runners.
Our Form teacher is Mr. Cox, who has a very high opinion of 3C1,
while Mr. Williams is our favoured commercial teacher.
The class captain is Beryl Gillespie.

FORM 3D
Hello ! This is Form 3D calling from Room ? The ? stands for
the number of any one of various rooms in which we often find ourselves.
We are the poor homeless wanderers of the school and find refuge in
Rooms No. 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 15, 17, 18, 3B’s room, the Drawing Room and
the Domestic Science Room.
We have become renowned throughout the school for our “beer”
making. As we always sample our cooking we do not neglect to do so
in this section (if any one is interested it is better just off the ice) and
strangely enough it always seems to take effect in Mr. McCormack's
geography lesson. We are practising hard at “The Art of Cooking,”
but a certain teacher does not think we are very good cooks because we
do not put currants in our small cakes !
Our small class of eleven may be likened to a United Nations
organisation as we have : Dianne Horne from England, Lorna Hardly
from New Zealand, Jeanette Wood and Anne Mead from South Australia,
Denise Greenhalgh from Western Australia, Maree Brown and Marion
McCollom from New South Wales and last, but not least, Glenda
Paterson, Jenifer Eckart, Lindy Ingram and Jeanette Heers from
Queensland.
Maree Brown is our Form captain and she ably leads us when the
teacher is around.
We were well represented on the sports field by Nola Butler, who
was keen on running and ball games, but she has now left us and is
making her career in the photography world while we still plod along
with our school lessons, but we still have two budding athletes in the
person of Glenda Paterson and Jeanette Wood.
With all our subjects we try to study hard but we put most energy
into our dressmaking. This energy is used mainly in the early part of
the year as we prepared for our GREAT ANNUAL effort, the "Manne
quin Parade” on Fete day.
On the whole we are a happy band of girls (except when we are
compelled to combine with 3A2 for Academic subjects, forming the
notorious 3A2D) and as we go along this is our song :
Whatever we do and whatever we say,
Our teachers all tell us
“That isn’t the way!”
When they were at school, many years ago
Their lessons, they say, they would always know,
The terrible deeds that we modern girls do,
Would horrify them if they only knew.
Study, sometimes, has pleasures we own,
But it isn’t all charm to study alone,
So with 3A2 we have combined you know.
And we’ll make the school proud of us as—
“Onward we go.”
(This class was recently very surprised to learn that desiccated
coconut is made from coconut—Ed.)
