FOREWORD

Once more the Magazine offers to its readers an account of a busy year. Though inevitably condensed, this account with its lively descriptions of many events and some interest­ing original work, shows that the school has worked hard, in the form rooms, on the games field and in outside activi­ties. In addition to the usual annual functions there have been some special occasions of interest and value. The Family Dance organised in October by the Parent and School Association was a most happy gathering showing the good results of bringing together parents and girls in the school atmosphere. Co-operation between home and school continues to grow in a most encouraging way: meetings of the Parent and School Association have been well attended and the special sectional meetings arranged for the parents of girls in certain forms have been very helpful. During this period of rapid development in education it is of the utmost importance that parents and teachers should work closely together in order to encourage the girls to take full advan­tage of the best of present day opportunities.

A vigorous Old Girls' Association is another source of strength to a school. Ours is fortunate in its active committee and large membership. Though sometimes the small attendance is a disappointment to the organisers, meetings of the Association never fail to bring members who have lost touch for a number of years. The Dinner held in November was an outstanding success and I take this opportunity of thanking the Secretary, Mrs. Swinton, and all committee members for making it so. We were delighted to have Miss Briggs with us and thank her, Miss Martin, Mrs. Haigh and Miss Ross for the speeches which added so much to the happiness of the evening.

Much excitement was caused by the appearance on Granada !.T.V. of three Sixth Form girls and three Grammar School boys in the programme "Youth wants to know." All who saw the programme must. have been impressed by the dignity and bearing of the girls and boys. We congratulate Pauline Wycherley, Susan Hall and Jeanette Woolcott. Jeanette is also to be congratulated on winning an essay competition organised by the Wakefield Rotary Club for Sixth Form boys and girls of this school, the Grammar

For the first time in the history of the school the Governors offered a grace term to their Head Mistress. This was a privilege which I deeply appreciated and an opportunity for which I shall never cease to be grateful. During the Spring Term I lived in Cheshunt Co.llege, Cam­bridge, sharing in the life of the College, at_tendmg lectur~s in the Divinity Faculty and doing some pnvate reading m Theology. Cheshunt is a small Theological College in which men and women prepare for the Congregational Ministry and for teaching in the Mission Field. Each term a group of men in key positions in Industry, from various parts of the country, spend eight weeks in the College, attending Univer­sity lectures and some courses arranged specially for them. The College therefore brings together men and women of widely varying interests and experience. It was a privilege to be with them for a term. There can be few people who, by shedding completely their cares and responsibilities for three months, are able to stand back and look at their work from a different point of view. Owing to the generosity of the Governors and the co-operation of all members of the School this rare chance came to me. Above all I thank Miss Ross who for the whole of the Spring Term carried out with distinction the responsibilities of Acting Head Mistress with Miss Bosward as her Second Mistress. I hope that they enjoyed the term as fully as did their colleagues and the girls. It was quite obvious to me when I returned that the School had had a most happy and successful term.

OUTSTANDING EVENTS

SPEECH DAY 1957

Once again we had a sunny November day for the most important occasion of the year, and the Jubilee Hall, beautifully decorated with fiowers, welcomed as many guests as it could possibly hold.

After a moment's silence in memory of Alderman Burley Johnson, who had been one of the Governors, the Spokesman, Alderman H. Watson, J.P., greeted the dis­tinguished visitors, thanking the Mayor and Mayoress for the civic support given to school functions and expressing our gratitude to the Bishop of Pontefract and his sister, Mrs. Braithwaite, for honouring us with their presence. He congratulated the school on the excellent examination results and spoke of the extra facilities the Governors had provided in recent years and of their plans for the future, hampered at the moment by the difficult financial situation. In conclusion he announced with pleasure that Miss Knott had been granted a grace term which she would spend reading Theology at Cambridge.

Miss Knott thanked the Governors, of whose liberal­mindedness and generosity she had seen so many examples, for the opportunity offered her in the grace term.

Turning to school affairs, Miss Knott told us that the number of girls in the Sixth Form had almost reached a hundred. Most of these girls were specialising in three subjects for the Advanced Level of the General Certificate of Education. Danger lay not so much in specialisation, as in concentration on examination results for their own sake. Any subject well taught could arouse intellectual curiosity, depth of thought, ability to discriminate and independence of mind. Some girls were following a General course which would lead to an Internal Certificate rather than an External Examination, and it was hoped that the value of this certificate would soon be recognised. Last year's examination results had been outstanding and per­haps in some measure could be looked upon as a dividend replacing the income lost by the sale of investments to pay for the new Science Block. Twenty-five girls had taken examinations at the Advanced Level and all had gained certificates, eight with distinctions; at the Ordinary Level seventy-eight girls had been successful.

We were constantly being told the the country needed scientists, but the real need was for people with trained minds who could use their abilities wherever their work

Page Sixteen W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

took them; a training provided both through the Sciences and the Arts.

A memorable day in the history of the School was October 3rd, when Lindsey Campbell's book, " Hor~e of Air," highly praised by Sir Herbert Read, was publlshed.

Looking back over .the last year Miss Knott recalled particularly the performance of scenes from the Wakefield Mystery Plays, the expedition to Rome, Florence and Naples, the many exchange visits paid by girls to Franc~, .Germany, and Austria, the History and Geography Exped1tlons, Jo~n Fitton's success in Athletics as a member of the Yorkshtre team and the 1st Hockey XI at Cambridge, the m~ny musical successes, and the raising of £633 at ~he Sprmg Market which brought the School's contribut10n to the Building Fund Appeal to £2,200. Miss Knott conc~ud~d by thanking the staff, who cheerfully and enthusmst1Cally undertook an ever-increasing volume of work, and the Governors, whom it was a privilege to serve.

After the Mayor had thanked the Headmistress for her report, the Choir, accompanied by Anne Hunt, san~ " o praise the Lord " by Bach, and " The song of Shadows by Armstrong Gibbs.

The Bishop of Pontefract then present~d the long lines of girls with their certificates and pnzes. At the beginning of his address he spoke of sympt,oms of ti:e attempt made by many people nowadays to find a substl­tute for work. There was no substitute for hard work. The satellites, amazing and fantastic as they might seem, could not have been launched without years of hard work and terrific concentration. We did not know what they would be used for, but they had a much greater capacity for g~od than evil if men brought the right mentality to the ~rdenng of their use. This was true of all things in our amazmg ~nd delightful world. Hard work and the generous mmd, capable of appreciating virtue, valour and goodness, were both essential, as much in everyday life at School as in the world of technical achievement.

The Deputy Spokesman, Mr. H. B. Webster, pro­posing the· vote of thanks, referred to the Bishop'~ di.s­tinguished career in the Guards, which must help h1m m his present position. The proposal was gracefully secon~ed by the Deputy Head Girl, Susan Hall, as the Head G1rl, Pauline Wycherley, was in hospital. The whole school ~hen sang "Blow, blow, thou winter wind," by Roger Qmlter, and another most successful and enjoyable Speech Day was over.

THE DRAMATIC COMPETITION

This year the dramatic competition was organised on rather di.t.Ierent lines; each form was responsible not only for producing a play but for writing one as well. While this led .to some difficulties in acting and production because of the lack of experience of the authors, there was a pleasing freshness and originality in the dialogue and an astonishing display of talent of many kinds in the writing, producing, acting, setting and dressing of these plays.

First we saw the Third Form and the Four Lowers produce plays based on ballads or long narrative poems. The Third Form presented a colourful version of "Hiawatha's Childhood," IV Lower J. "The Jackdaw of Rheims" with a wonderfully agile jackdaw which leapt on to the tables and hopped between the platters and the goblets with birdlike ease, IV Lower L " Robin Hood and Alan-a-Dale," complete with merry men in Lincoln Green all armed with bows and arrows and IV Lower W, "The Pied Piper," with a brisk and pompous Mayor. Each production had its particular merits and defects, but the Third Form were finally judged the winners because everyone on the stage really took part in the play and acted all the time.

The IV Middles had based their play on an incident from either " Cranford" or "David Copperfield," but had selected either too many disconnected incidents or one with little point by itself. Without doubt the liveliest was IV Middle C's representation of David's schooldays at Salem House in which Edith Thompson's miming of a terrified, half-starved boy was exceptionally good, but this play had no plot. There was no sense of climax, and no sense of the clash of character. IV Middle B's produc­tion was pleasantly grouped and good to look at, though many speakers were inaudible at the back of the hall because they did not articulate clearly and the end of the play disappointed our expectations. Nevertheless, the play had a definite construction and the action progressed from Peter's escapade in the garden to his final return as the wealthy Nabob. IV Middle G's play was perhaps the best written, but was not particularly well acted or pro­duced, and again was frequently inaudible. Judging was difficult but IV Middle B were given first place, largely for details of production and scenery.

The following Monday we saw first the Biblical plays written and produced by the IV Uppers. " The Coat of Many Colours," the story of Joseph, by IV Upper A, was

Page Eighteen ' W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

well-written and well-produced and adjudged the best of the three. IV Upper G's "The Birth of Moses" was ambi­tious and interesting, but included rather too much un­dramatic material, and was broken into too many little scenes. The actors had found difficulty in memorising correctly the verb endings of the old second person singular, and added it to most of the verbs they used, with astonishing results. The costumes had been most carefully studied and contrived, and many groups, particularly in Pharaoh's court had dignity and colour. IV Upper I chose a story of violent action, "The Treachery of Jezebel," but found a realistic presentation of evil characters and horrific actions beyond their capabilities.

The V Lower plays were based on " Pride and Prejudice" and all three were most successful in preserving the atmo­sphere and humour of the novel. V Lower B's adaptation of the later chapters was best constructed, and Anne Baker's portrayal of Lady Catherine showed most under­standing of that redoubtable character. The furniture and setting of V Lower N's " Evening at Rosings " were most authentic and obviously the result of much careful research and selective borrowing, and V Lower C, who had chosen Mr Collins's proposal to Elizabeth, successfully suggested the lively humour of the scene.

In the afternoon, the whole School saw the VI Lower productions of scenes from Shakespeare. VI Lower B chose the play scene from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and acted it with great gusto before an extremely dignified and well-spoken Theseus. VI Lower M gave a vigorous and dashing performance of part of " The Taming of the Shrew" in modern dress and in a "contem­porary" setting. Hazel Osborne was a vitally energetic shrew, but the end of the scene seemed to lose its point, and the up-to-date clothes and furniture obscured rather than revealed the interplay of character and incident. A modern Katherina, with a pony-tail and a red felt swing skirt, surely would not submit to her father's choos­ing of her husband.

The writing of original plays proved a most interesting and valuable experiment. On the whole the girls who pre­pared the scripts and those who cajoled the actors into an acceptable interpretation of their play deserve high praise, and we look forward to seeing plays of great merit in future dramatic competitions.

THE APPEARANCE OF THE SIXTH FORM ON TELEVISION

An added attraction to Independent Television on· Wednesday, March 5th (for High School girls at least) was the appearance of the Sixth Form on "Youth wants to K_now," a programme in which a panel consisting of three High School girls, Pauline Wycherley, susan Hall and Jeanette. Woo!cott, and three boys from the Grammar School mterviewed John Braine, the well-known local author, whose book "Room at the Top" is now being filmed. Other members of the Sixth Form were taken to Manchester by coach to act as the audience.

There we had a welcome meal of egg and chips after which we were taken to the studio for rehearsais. We groped our way through a maze of corridors taking the opportunity of peepi_ng at ot~er programmes' in progress through the small Circular wmdows in the studio doors· and finally found the studio in which we were to smil~ before the cameras and perspire under the lights for the ne~~ two hours. After a. short rehearsal " Sound on! Vision on. wa~ announce~. Time passed very quickly, and while the audience remamed as appreciative as possible the panel a~ked Mr. Braine lively and entertaining que~tions about his novel.

After twenty minutes we relaxed from our strained posi­tions as next week's item was announced and the pro­gramme closed.

We left the studio allowing ourselves plenty of time to find the way back thro~gh the corridors to the coach and spen~ ~he return journey discussing the High School's first television appea~~nce until_ we arrived in Wakefield at 9 p.m. after an exc1tmg and mteresting day ..

OUT-OF-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

COUNTRY DANCING

Country Dancing has taken place throughout the year on Fridays from twenty past three to half past four. The classes have been small consisting mostly of juniors, who are very keen.

On February 28th we were lucky enough to have Miss Gwyneth Walker, who is the North Eastern representative of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, to take the class for us. It was well attended and Miss Walker taught us many new and interesting dances including, "Circle Waltz," " The Pat-a-Cake Polka" and "Tom Pate."

Unfortunately Miss Jones was not able to be present at the Parent and School Association Country Dancing party but Miss Ellis .took her place giving us all a most enjoyable evening. A few of us were also able to attend the Country Dancing evening at Ackworth Moortop School and we are very grateful for our invitation.

A fairly large party of us had arranged to go to the Hemsworth Festival. Our display dance was to have been "Pop goes the Weasel," but unluckily the Festival had to be cancelled because of rain.

I should like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Jones for giving up so much of her spare time to us during the year.

Victoria Pemberton. V Lower N.

THE MUSIC SOCIETY

The first meeting of the Music Society was at the beginning of the Autumn Term when Pauline Wycherley gave us a very interesting talk on jazz illustrated by gramo­phone records.

The next meeting took the form of a recital by Miss Dove of music for the horn. Miss Dove's playing gave us great pleasure and we were most interested in her clear explanation of the mechanism of the horn.

The Madrigal Society, formed in conjunction with the Grammar School, gave us a delightful concert at the end of the Autumn Term. Mr. G. A. Smith, the leader of the group, and Margaret Taylor were the soloists, and Anne Hunt the pianist.

In the Spring Term a party of girls visited St .George's Hall, Bradford, to hear a programme of Choral music, including "Belshazzar's Feast" by Sir William Walton, given by the Bradford Festival Choral Society.

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Twenty-one

On Thursday, May 29th, about seventy girls went to the Grand Theatre, Leeds, to see an excellent performance of " The Merry Widow " by Franz Lehar, given by the Sadler's ..Wells Opera Company.

We should like to thank Miss Bell for the help she has given us during the year and hope the society will continue to flourish next year.

THE SCHOOL CHOIRS This has been a very busy and successful year for

our. School choirs. We were all pleased to hear that the Jumor School Choir and the Junior Choir did well in their classes at Ilkley. We had another success at the Pontefract Festival, where the IV Upper Choir was awarded first place in the Traditional Song Class.

The first important function of our School year was Speech Day, when the Senior Choir sang "Song of Shadows" and "0 praise the Lord." All the choirs took part in the Carol Service at the end of term which was most enjoyable.

The joint concert, given by our Senior Choir and the Choral Society of the Grammar School, took place a little ;,at~r than, usual t?is year. We gave our performance of

H1awatha s Weddmg Feast" by Coleridge-Taylor "Songs of the ~lee~" by Stanford, and "Te Deum" by Pu'rcell, at the. begmmng of the Summer Term instead of in the Sprmg Term. The soloists in these works were Mr John Copley and Mr William Brotherton. Miss Bell and Mrs Knight accompanied on two pianos, the concert was con~ ducted by Dr. P. G. Saunders. The concert was, in every way a great success.

The Madrigal Group, in which senior girls from our School and Senior boys from the Grammar School take part,. has given several concerts, and paid a visit to Clayton Ho~p1tal at Christmas singing carols to the patients, for which they seemed very grateful. The Madrigal Group sang the semi-chorus parts in Purcell's "Te Deum " and a group of madrigals at our joint concert with the Gram­mar School.

The last musical fun.ction of the Summer Term was the School Concert, in which all the choirs sang and which finished our School year on a triumphant note.

We should all like to thank Miss Bell for her untiring energy and patience in training us, and we hope that under her guidance our school choirs will have equal success in future years.

THE ORCHESTRA

The Orchestra has consisted mainly of younger mem­bers of the School. They have played together very well this year and show great promise.

At the Senior Concert we played two delightful pieces "A Morning Song" by T. Dunhill and "Merry Haymake~s" by w. Manhue and a small group of us accompame.d ' Katherine Adler on her oboe, playing a Concerto by S1r John Barbirolli.

The presence of an oboe has added colour to the orchestra which has also been enriched by a double bass played by Miss Bell.

We are all very grateful to Miss Beaumont for her help throughout the year. She has shown great enthusiasm and has given us much encouragement.

Dorothy Gloyne. V Upper M.

THE OBOE RECITAL

Deep snow lay on the ground on January 21st and we wondered whether Lady Barbirolli would be able to reach us on this side of the Pennines. In spite of this she arrived punctually and a few minutes later we were being initiated into the secrets of the oboe.

Lady Barbirolli's programme was varied and punctuated by further explanations of the instrument. Her first example "Three Blind Mice," surprised us all by its humour and clarity of tone, showing that a great artist can give life to the most mundane tune.

Slow melodies were rendered poignant by h er effortless style, rich round tone, and delicate phrasin~, and. ~uch bright jolly' airs as " The Pixie" sparkled w1th bnlllant technique.

We were all impressed by her warm, sincere personality, and the beauty of her playing. To us, it sounded as if the oboe was one of the easiest and most expressive of instru­ments.

We were very lucky to hear one of Britain's finest oboists and we should like to thank the music department, Miss Jones and Miss Heap for giving us this splendid opportunity.

so bring ourselves up-to-date with rock 'n' roll and skiffle. We had a very large membership this year, so large in fact th~t we had to have two sittings for tea. With such large numbers and new records, .the first meeting of the year, by tradition a social, was a great success and the enthusiasm shown by the members was to set the pattern for the following events in the year.

On October 11th a hectic games evening was held. Members played a table tennis tournament in the gymna­sium whilst others were playing cricket and dancing in the hall. The table tennis tournament was won by Susan Hall and Keith Pemberton in an exciting final.

This year's Hallowe'en party was held on November 1st in the Jubilee Hall lit by the traditional turnip lanterns. In the darkened hall Mr. Chapman fulfilled his promise to entertain us with a ghost story. After last yea~'s success with the square dancing party, it was decided to repeat the venture. After dancing like "squares" for half an hour, the evening developed into a rock 'n' roll session under the expert guidance of Miss Jane Tomelty.

The main meeting of the Autumn Term was as usual the Christmas Dance. It proved to be very popular indeed and the numbers seem to increase every year. There wer~ some inspired "sputnik" decorations by boys of the Gram­mar School which were greatly admired: The proceeds of the dance went to the joint Building Fund.

On January 24th the first meeting of the Spring Term took place. It was a country dancing evening and our most grateful ~l_lanks go .to Miss Jones for arranging the dances and ma~mg such an enjoyable evening. On February 21st we had the inevitable social with the usual mixture of games and dances. On March 7th Mr. S. G. Beaumont spoke. to us about "Law in the Atomic Age" and many questions arose after this very interesting talk which Mr. Beaumont answered very readily. A large party paid a visit to Leeds Grand Theatre on March 11th to see "The Brass Butterfly" and everybody enjoyed Alastair Sim's interpretation of the part of a Roman Emperor.

The highlight of this term was the variety evening on March 31st. The VI Lowers began the entertainment with a hefty version of " Sixteen Tons " and later in the evening they gave a robust performance of the Charleston. The Gram~ar School rhythm group had us all tapping our feet With such numbers as "St. Louis Blues." Piano solos were played in more serious vein by memb&s of both schools, and a sketch, "This is Your Life," was very successful with John Bromley as the unfortunate victim.

Page Twenty-four W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

An excerpt from "1066 and all that" given by the Com­mittee brought the evening to a close.

After a social on May 2nd, when we heard a tape-recording from Canada, the meetings of the Summer Term were mainly out of doors. May 28th dawned bright and clear for the hike to Derbyshire and we are most gratefu~ to Mrs. Nurse and Mr. Chapman for arra~ging the outmg. on July 8th a tennis and cricket evemng was held on the High School playing fields. Although they were ~everely handicapped, :the boys won the cricket match easily and the tennis tournament was won by Judith and Hugh Brown after an exciting match with Elizabeth Wheeldon and Bert Barron. On July 11th again at the playing fields, the rounders evening was popular with everyone because of the delicious tea of strawberries and ice-cream. We are now looking forward to the Summer Dance which will bring to a close this year's activities.

Finally we should like to express our grat~ful thanks to Miss Knott for allowing us to use the Jubilee Hall so often and to Mrs. Nurse and Mr. Chapman for their never­failing encouragement and guidance.

LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY

The first meeting of the year was held on December 4th when the film of Charlotte Bronte's novel "Jane Eyr'e," starring arson Welles and Joan Fontaine, was shown to a large audience of members and guests.

During the Spring Term a Junior Competition was held, similar to that of last year. The first prize was won by Christine Atkinson IV Upper I, and consolation prizes were awarded to Jennifer Stinton IV Middle G, and Susan Beresford and Nadine Scuffam IV Lower L.

On March 4th a party of IV Lowers and IV Middles went to Thornes House for a joint meeting which took the form of "Any Questions?" A panel of three girls from the High School and two girls and a boy from Thornes House answered questions put to them by members of the audience and lively discussions ensued. After the meeting the High School party was shown round the new building by the hosts and hostesses.

On March 6th we were pleased to have a visit from Miss Berry, formerly on the gymnastic staff of the School and now a member of the Leatherhead Repertory Com­pany, who. talked most amusingly on her life and W?rk as an Assistant Stage Manager and gave us much m­formation about what went on behind the scenes.

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Twenty-five

The last meeting of the year was the expedition to Haworth ~n the afternoon of Thursday, May 22nd.

Our thanks go to Miss Melton, Miss Greenwell and Miss Gray tor their continued interest and support.

A VISIT TO HAWORTH

. On ~ay 22nd, members of the Literary and Debating Society VISited Haworth, the home of the Bronte sisters.

We set off early in the afternoon in coaches arriving in Haworth early enough to spend several hours there. The coaches had to stop at the foot of the main street because it was both narrow and steep, and so we walked up the cobbled road to the Church and Parsonage at the top .. The village itself we found larger than we had imagu_1ed ~nd ~ar less bleak, but nevertheless very inte~·est- . ing With 1ts high stone houses and small curiosity shops.

We then looked round the Parsonage, now a Museum to the memory of the Brontes who once lived there. It was full of their possessions, including clothes and manu­scripts. The miniature books the Brontes wrote to amuse themselves as children, in handwriting so small as to be practically illegible without the aid of a magnifying glass~ we found most fascinating. Other writings and drawmgs have been preserved for visitors to see including some deep in the plaster on the nursery waiL

After looking round the museum we went to see the Church which is just in front of the Parsonage. The Church was larger than we expected in such a small community as the Haworth of long-ago must have been.

. Lat~r we all went across the fields on the way to the High Withens, the farm house which has been accepted for many years as "Wuthering Heights." Walking along the narrow path we could imagine Emily walking to the falls and gathering inspiration for her poetry. It was over two miles to the waterfalls, so we ate our tea on the way Sitting on a bilberry-covered slope we were able to enjoy more fully the surroundings, picturesque in their bleakness. As we drew near the falls, the path became narrower and steeper, but this made the walk even more interesting especially when streams from the fells crossed the path.

Ev:entually we reached our destination, two waterfalls splashmg down over huge rocks into a small valley where a fast-moving stream flowed. We spent a little time he:e ?lambering over the rocks or sitting on the tiny bridge enJoymg the scenery and the quietness.

Coming back we found more difficult . than going because of weary feet and heavy rain. We were very wet

Pq.ge Twenty-six W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

by the time we reached the buses but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would all like to thank Miss Melton ·and the other members of the staff for making such an interesting and enjoyable outing possible.

THE HISTORY SOCIETY

The History Society has again had a successful year with over a hundred and fifty members. The first meeting of the year was a Sputnik Debate, a more topical version of a Balloon Debate. This was held on November 20th. It was followed by a play reading of "1066 and all that" on December 11th. This proved to be a popular and amusing meeting.

The first meeting of the Spring Term was a quiz, which was held on February 24th. The film chosen this year to be shown by the History Society was " Scott of the Antarctic." It was the gripping and moving story of Captain Scott's expedition to the South Pole.

The Summer Term's first meeting was a talk given by Mr. Beric-Watson, of Leeds on May 7th. It was a very interesting meeting. The final meeting of the year was the annual History Society outing on July 16th this year. We went to Burton Agnes near Driffield, and Beverley Min­ster. Once again the weather was poor but in spite of that the hundred and thirty girls who went on the expedition had a very enjoyable day.

We would like to thank Miss Mark and Miss Cook for the interest they have shown in the Society and for the many meetings they have arranged for us during the year.

V LOWER VISIT TO NOSTELL PRIORY

I should think that all the members of V Lower who went on the visit to Nostell Priory must have been impressed by the gracious splendour of this typical eighteenth century house, which remains intact in the centre of industrial Yorkshire.

The evening was already golden when we arrived and the mile-long landscape before the main facade looked quite magnificent as we entered by the comparatively modest "kitchen" entrance below the main stairway. We were shown the delightful Adam decorations and the heavier, more ornate designs of Paine, the original designer of the house. The pieces of Chippendale with their respec­tive bills were most interesting, and we were intrigued by the hidden doors and openings, and immensely delighted by

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE / Page Twenty-seven

the colours of Holbein and Bruegel paintings. I was par­ticularly fascinated by the collections of ancient books and manuscripts, and by the evidence of so many aspects of eighteenth century English life. .

we had too little time to enjoy all th1s fully, and after a brief look at the Church we had to return to Wakefield and the twentieth century. We much enjoyed our visit and wish to thank Miss Mark, Miss Cook, and Mrs. Coppack for taking us.

HISTORY SOCIETY VISIT TO CLARKE HALL

Last June some members of the History Society had the good fortune to visit Clarke Hall at Stanley. We were shown round by Mr H. C. Haldane who owns the house.

The original plan of the house was that_ of an Eliz~­bethan E with three projections on the north s1de. The roam entrance door is in the centre projection and there is a cobbled court round it. On the garden side, there were two projections to complete the plan, but in _1~74 one of ~he projections was removed and the larger dmmg room wmg was built.

The hall occupies the whole of the centre of the house and when we came in through the entrance door we could see right through another door into the beautiful garden. The hall has a stone floor and a large open fireplace which has an iron plaque showing the arms of King Charles I.

One very interesting thing is the wooden bar which slots into a hole at one side of the door and can be pulled across into one at the other side to stop anyone coming in.

In the hall there is an oak cupboard which has pierced panels for ventilation. This cupboard was found when the moat was drained, but is still in beautiful condition.

In the old kitchen, which is now a breakfast room on one side of the hall, is an excellent collection of Scottish pistols, dirks and powder horns. The dining room, built in 1674, is panelled in oak and has three windows. Two of these are in the recesses beside a large projecting fireplace. A spring door in one of the recesses affords a means of escape from the hiding hole upstairs, in the Great Chamber.

Around the walls of the Great Chamber is a collection of armour and weapons; there are also three suits of armour. One belongs to the time of the Battle of Wakefield (1460) and has a sword which was excavated on the actual site of the battle. Above the fireplace is a sliding panel which provides a food hatch for the priest hole or cavalier's

~age Twenty-eight W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

hiding place which is entered 6y a trapdoor in the long low cupboard at the top of the stairs. .

Two complete wine bottles of the Civil War penod were found in it but unfortunately they were thrown out of the window by a workman.

The Guest Chamber opens from this room and has a beautiful fireplace with Dutch tiles, and in the bay the~e is a little plaster ceiling which was taken from a house m Wakefield which was to be pulled down. There are very wide fioor boards here, eighteen inches wide.

Above the dining room is the Oak Lodging Room with oak panelling and .two Elizabethan four-poster beds with carved heads and canopies.

On the other side of the hall is the Solar or drawing room. There is a beautifully patterned seventeenth century plaster ceiling here.

We are very grateful to Miss Mark and Miss Cook for arranging this visit and for accompanying us.

THE HISTORY SOCIETY OUTING TO BURTON AGNES AND BEVERLEY

On Wednesday July 16th at 9.30 a.m. four coaches packed with History Society members left School for Burton Agnes and Beverley. At 11.30 a.m. three coaches arrived at Burton Agnes and a fourth a little later after having retrieved a lost windscreen wiper.

As we approached the typical Tudor gatehouse we saw, beyond a forecourt of clipped yews, the magl!-ificent red brick hall with its stone coigns and mullioned wmdows.

The entrance door with the arms of Elizabeth I leads into a lobby and then into the Great Hall. We were all immediately impressed by the beautiful Tudor fireplace and the heavy carving on the west wall. The lower drawing room also has a Tudor fireplace and the rather morbid panel above it depicts death triumphing over life. The oak panelling in this room is probably unique as are the Chinese lacquer work panels in the Chinese Room. We all admired Mr. Wyckham;-Boynton's collection of works by Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters displayed in the Garden gallery. From there we passed on to the dining room where we saw another Tudor fireplace and paintings by Gainsborough, Sir Francis Cotes and Sir Joshua Reynolds. We cautiously climbed the beautifully polished, imposing oak staircase to reach the upper drawing room which has two eagle tables dating from the late seventeenth century and much eighteenth century furniture by Sheraton. The

W .G.H.S . MAGAZINE Page Twenty-nine

bed in the south east state room is not, unfortunately, the one James I slept in when he stayed at Burton Agnes but was brought from Hurstmonceaux Castle a few years ago. The linen fold- panelling in the Justices Room did not originally belong to Burton Agnes but to Kilnwick Hall which was demolished recently.

In the Queen's Room, reputed to be haunted, the ceiling with a honeysuckle pattern and inter­twining branches hanging loose at intervals, is unique. Perhaps the most beautiful room in the house is the Long Gallery with its Venetian window and barrel ceiling which drew exclamations of wonder from many of us. The Venetian windows and the broken pediments above the doors indicate extensive eighteenth century alteration and the seventeenth century French carpet, the Chippendale furniture and the torcheres all add to its beauty. After we had seen the library which has French furniture dat­ing from Louis XVI we returned to the coaches to have lunch. We wandered in the well-kept gardens, some of us visiting the Norman Manor house, the donkey wheel and the church until we left for Beverley.

On arrival at Beverley we went straight to the Minster which is built in the Gothic style. The carving inside and out is exquisite. Some of the most impressive things in the Minster are the Sanctuary chair, the Reredos Screen and the Choir Stalls. After a quick tour of the whole building we spent our time following the stories carved on the mlsericords in the Choir. Then we climbed the narrow winding steps to the tower from which we had a wonderful view over Beverley and the surrounding district. We had tea in the coaches and then set off for Wakefield, chant­ing rather morbid songs.

We thank Mr. Marcus Wyckham-Boynton for opening Burton Agnes in the morning and also all the staff who accompanied us and arranged this pleasant outing.

FILM SOCIETY

This has been a most successful year. Although membership has been limited to girls from IV Uppers upward the numbers remained high, and guest tickets sold particularly well for the winter shows, the moving film set in Africa, " Cry, the Beloved Country " and the school comedy, "The Happiest Days of Your Life." The special junior film, "Scrooge " was equally popular. The other senior shows were the French fairy-tale film, "La Belle et la Mte" with its wonderful trick photography, and the Russian colour film, "Life in the Arctic."

Page Thirty W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

The profits made over the last four years were used to buy a new, larger lens and an extension lead so that the projector could be used in the hall. To inaugurate the new equipment an extra show was given to whi~h pare~ts and friends were invited. The film chosen for th1s occaswn was the Technicolor, Laurence Olivier production, "Henry the Fifth."

Thanks are given to all the Staff and girls who make the efficient running of the Society possible. B.G.

THE FRENCH PARTY

On December 17th a French Christmas party was organised by five members of VI Upper and the French staff. It was very popular and nearly three hundred girls and staff had a most enjoyable evening. Although we tried to speak French all the time, it often became necessary to explain the intricacies of the games in English. We had great fun playing games and performing our forfeits, and ate a delicious tea which included some food prepared from French recipes. Then groups of girls acted charades in French, the audience finding hilarious the antics of VI Upper in their version of "Cinderella."

To finish, Miss Chadwick's IV Middle presented a mov­ing tableau of the Nativity which included her Prefects as Angels. They all sang "Entre le boeuf et l'ane gris." It was then so ·late that there was no time for the programme of French carols which had been planned.

Our thanks must go to the French staff and VI Upper for arranging such an original and delightful party.

GAMES COACHES' REPORT

This year particularly the games coaches have appre­ciated the lead given to the school in branches of Physical Education by VI Upper. No matter what her personal standard or preference, each member of VI Upper has taken part with intelligence and enthusiasm.

The hockey teams realized the importance of individual practice to consolidate coaching suggestions with regard .to acquiring stickwork techniques. The result was that they improved steadily and it was therefore disappoint­ing that, owing to appalling weather, they only played three matches in the Spring Term but managed to end successfully.

Many girls availed themselves of the opportunity given by the School and the Lawn Tennis Association in providing tennis coaching at a reduced rate for members of affiliated schools, but it is disappointing to note that only very few of these · follow up such coachings by concentrated practice to eradicate the faults emphasised in order to improve their stroke-play. Too many imagine that the coach will make them good players and that merely playing many games of tennis is sufficient practice.

This by itself is valueless. It is felt that the teams have been too concerned with their own individual suc­cesses to realise that the couples should combine to make a team and they have lost the fun and excitement of adapting their play to combat different opponents. They have not used their very good ability to produce good team results and should try to learn something from the wonderful team spirit demonstrated by the Yorkshire Women's team.

Cricket is definitely on the up grade. There is a finer team spirit than ever before as shown by the ·alertness in the field and in the batsmen's backing up and calling,

f'age Thirty-two W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

and at last we have fo)lnd some, opening batsmen. Most important of all, the players have found that enjoyment of a fight can help to steady nerves.

The middle school games have developed tremendously. They showed up very well in the School Hockey Tournament and have produced some most promising tennis couples. It is disapppinting that shocking weather has hindered their progress in cricket. R.L.B.

GYMNASTICS

This year VI Upper and V Upper M were asked to s~ow their gymnastics to about a hundred teachers of Phys1cal Education in the West Riding. This was followed by discussion in which Miss Knott took part and both classes were complimented on what they had achieved.

We were very grateful to Miss Morison, Vice-Principal of I. M. Marsh College of Physical Education, who came to see the Physical Education in the School and gave us a lot of help and encouragement.

SWIMMING

Voluntary swimming classes have again been held each week after School. The non-swimmers made an excellent beginning and many were quite competent swimmers by the end of the term. Ten girls were entered for the examination for the Bronze Medallion of the Royal Life Saving Society and all passed. The Senior Swimming Cup has been awarded to Janet English, and the Junior Cup to Judith Swinton. The V Lower Medal will not be awarded.

ATHLETICS

Considerable success was achieved again in the Wake­field City Sports, both in the under-seventeen and under­nineteen age groups, although the Juniors did not have the same success as in previous years. We congratulate Chris­tine Blythe on winning the under-nineteen 100 yards and 220 yards. Bridget McGregor was placed first in the long jump event with a jump of 16ft. lin., and Elaine Scott first in the javelin with a throw of 70ft. llin. The relay team were placed first after a very exciting race. In the under-17 years age group, Mary Chester was placed first in the Hurdles, Pamela Belt first in the Javelin and Sylvia Keer first in the Discus throwing event. Ann Leese was placed first in the under-fifteen Discus and Diana Logan was

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Thirty-three

first in the under-thirteen long jump event with a jump of 13ft. ll!in. Four girls went on to compete in t he County Sports at Temple Newsam. Christine Blythe in the 220 yards, BFidget McGregor in the long jump, Mary Christie in the hurdles and Katherine Adler in the discus. Chris­tine Blythe and Bridget McGregor were placed second in their events and Mary Chester third.

We congratulate Bridget McGregor on being selected as the reserve for Yorkshire in the long jump.

Katherine Entrican won the under-thirteen high jump cup when she cleared 4ft. lin. beating Glynis Williamson who cleared 3ft. llin. M.H.W.

HOCKEY CAPTAIN'S REPORT 1957-58

Several of last season's players remained and t:'le standard of play improved, so that a more successful season resulted. After a disappoin ting sta:-t , the 1st XI began to play as a team and therefore had better results. The 2nd XI played steadily and in spite of changes in the team show a successful record. Both teams would benefit from individual stickwork practice and regular training to increase their stamina.

The Schools' Area Trials were held on our ground on December 14th and Ruth Appleyard was chosen to play right back and Rachel Buck right inner for the Area team. Janet Brown and Judith Wheeldon were chosen as reserves. In the Schools' Rally held at Allerton on March 15th Wakefield was beaten by Bradford in an exciting final.

The School Tournament was held on February 22nd and over £9 was given to the Building Fund from entry fees. The winners were " The Gunners " captained by Mar­jorie Midgley.

The Staff accepted the 1st XI's challenge and " St. Trinians" played the "Road Signs" in a very enjoyable match, which resulted in an honourable draw.

We should like to thank Miss Benson, Miss Ellis and Miss Wilkinson for their patient and helpful advice and cheerful encouragement throughout the season.

We are also grateful to the Tea Committee for providing us with welcome refreshments each week and to those sup­porters who cheer us to victory.

Colours were awarded to Katherine Adler, Janet Brown, Angela Crabtree, Pauline Wycherley, Ruth Appleyard, Rachel Buck and Judith Wheeldon.

TENNIS CAPTAIN'S REPORT

In spite of the fact that ten players remained from last year's first and second VIs, this year the teams have had a comparatively unsuccessful season. ~or has ~he weather been very helpful. The British hurncane wh1ch played havoc with Wimbledon and the Test matc~es left in its train a score of disasters, the W?rst of wh1ch w~s the enforced cancellation of the Jubilee Leagll:e. This was a great disappointment to all the schools mvolved but to us most of all as this year the League was to have been held at Wakefield and preparations had turned the School into a hive of activity for several weeks pre­viously. we would like to thank everyone who volunteere~ to help and especially all the staff who undertook the orgamsa-tion with such enthusiasm: .

In the first round of the Aberdare cup ~hich was played in dreary d1izzly weather on May lOth agamst Royds Hall and Westfield, Royds Hall and Wakefield won 4 events and Westfield 1 event. Wakefield, however, won 9 sets and Royds Hall 8 sets so Wakefield went through to the next round. We were not so successful in the sec~nd round as after an exciting match we went down fightmg to High Storrs by 2 events to 1.

The staff match was the last match this term and their four couples beat the School by 11 events to ?·

This summer Miss Knott and the Games Staff made It possible for several people to go to Wimbledon. Miss Wilkinson took a party of ten on the first Wednesday and Miss Benson a party of four on the Saturday. Everyone enjoyed these expeditions and would like to thank the Games Staff for arranging them.

Wonderful as it is to win, that is not the sole purpose of playing and although the teams have not been very sue-

cessful this season tl ·-.• = ha'! obviously been great eP ~ '1Y­ment and enthusiasm. Th1s was shown even before the season began in the .:,nthusiastic welcome the teams gavt:: to the tennis dresses specially designed for school players by the Gtrls Lawn Tennis Association. The large number of applicants for the tennis cour;;es, run by this particular Association and by the Central Council of Physical Recrea­tion, has demonstrated that the teams not only enjoy play­ing but desire to improve their game, which is a welcome sign. Judith Wheeldon was selected for coaching at Lilies Hall at Christmas and also fo :· coaching at Filey at Whitsuntide.

Two other people went to Lilleshall in the Spring Term, five are going to Bish .rm in the summer holiday and two to Scarborough.

We would like to thank all the games staff for all the help and time they have given to us during the past season; v:e are also extremely grateful to Mr. Evans whose coaching we have found invaluable.

CRICKET CAPTAIN'S REPORT

The growing enthusiasm for cricket throughout the School is resulting in good progress, and holds promise for future years. Indoor classes have been held for IV Uppers and V Lowers during the Spring Term, and team members went for weekly indoor practice in the Rothwell nets. Most members of the present team played in last year's eleven,

Page Thtrty-stx W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

and few changes have been made this season. The standard of play has continued to improve, and in spite of disap­pointing weather we have had quite successful results. Fielding and batting still need more concentration and practice but the general standard of bowling has been markedly higher and has been a great asset to the team. We were especially grateful for the opportunity of special coaching given by Miss Lockwood and Miss Ellis during an afternoon's course at half-term.

Many enthusiasts were disappointed to miss what should have been a most profitable and enjoyable after­noon at the Test match on July 4th because of unsuit­able weather. All except three of the School matches have unfortunately had to be cancelled for the same reason but we were able to arrange a match against the Staff, and we thank them for accepting our challenge.

We would like to thank Miss Ellis for her invaluable help and encouragement, and for the time she has so readily given to coaching us. Our thanks go too to Dorothy Gloyne, our official scorer, and to Mr. Shearman for his preparation and care of the pitch, and to the Tea Committee for providing most enjoyable refreshments during the season.

Colours were awarded to Pauline Wycherley, Margaret Scott, Joan Harrison, Judith Wheeldon.

EXPEDITIONS

VI LOWER GEOGRAPHY EXPEDITION

A- very successful VI Lower Geography Expedition to Pembrokeshire was organised by Miss Briggs this Easter. The first quarter of an hour was rather nerve-racking since somebody puffed on to the platform just as the train was about to leave, but we soon settled down to enjoy the thirteen-hour journey with its six changes, and to contemplate the week of hard field work ahead.

The main work was to study the coastal features of the Tenby area, features of erosion and deposition, and forms resulting from changes in sea level. Milford Haven is a ria formed when the river Cheddar was drowned as a result of submergence. We also saw features of emergence such as fragments of the Patella Raised Beach. The topography and land utilisation of the area near the hostel were studied and on Sunday we were able to compare these with the region further north, when we hired a coach to take us to St. David's, the smallest city in the British Isles; in fact it seemed more like a village than a city. We were very much impressed by the beautiful Cathedral, the interior of which is so light and spacious. We also visited Fishguard, the packet port to Rosslare in Ireland.

One day was spent in making a town study of Tenby. After a rainy start, the sun shone and we had a glorious day. It was satisfying to eat a tasty lunch in a cafe, instead of the dry Youth Hostel sandwiches, which that day were eaten by the seagulls. We divided into smaller groups to study different subjects, and that evening all our information was sorted out in the hostel. Our two historians gave us a long but very interesting account of the history of Tenby.

On the last day we had a wonderful walk from Saundersfoot to Tenby. From the top of the high cliffs there was, in places, a sheer drop to the rocks below. We passed through an oak wood, with carpets of bluebells just coming into flower, and then through a spruce wood, where the fresh smell in the trees mingled with the sea breeze on top of the cliff. This breeze was very welcome on that hot sunny day. It was on this walk that Miss Briggs very proudly identified "Our Anticline " without the aid of the geology map. We could see the , core of old rock with newer rocks folded against it in semi-circular formation.

That night we had to squeeze everything into our ruck­sacks again, ready for the early start at six o'clock the following morning. " Mrs. Warden " very _kindly packed our breakfast for us to eat on the train. It was difficult

IV MIDDLE EXPEDITION TO KIRKSTALL ABBEY.

At 9.30 on Wednesday, July 9th, the School was extra­ordinarily peaceful as all the IV Middles were on their way to Kirkstall Abbey..

After a pleasant journey through Leeds we saw a mass of tall stone buildings in a beautiful setting. Our first view was of the Church, and from the coach we saw the northern and western sides of the Abbey.

As we came through the gate and down the path we were confronted by the West door of the church which we were told to sketch. We had been given some sheets of questions and notes about the Abbey, which we answered if we could.

The West door was not very elaborately carved, but the circular and pointed designs were very effective. The Galilee door was similar and was a good example of typical Norman architecture. Standing outside the East window of the church we noticed the quadripartite vaulting in the presbytery. The resemblance of .the East window to the East window at York Minster also struck us. As we looked up at the tower we saw the lines of two roofs, the high pitched one being the earlier.

When we entered the malt-house we couldn't help noticing the large vat outside it. The deep wide drains particularly impressed us as being extremely unhygienic. After studying the ovens in the kitchen we found ourselves in the refectory paved with thick square tiles.

The abbot's three-storeyed lodging contains an unusual lozenge-shaped window and some fifteenth-century fire­places.

We entered the cloister by a beautifully carved door. Here we saw the holes into which the beams which sup­ported the , cloister roof had fitted. The chapter house adjoining the cloister is in two parts, the later part on a higher level with a different kind of quadripartite vaulting. The chapter house also contains several coffins into which some girls ventured.

We proceeded to the interior of the church where we looked at the small chapels in the north and south transepts. We knew that the church must have been divided as we saw holes where the screens had once been.

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Thirty-nine

After checking our notes we thought a trip to the Abbey Museum would be interesting. Here for threepence we saw the results of recent excavations. The old-fashioned streetS" we considered most realistic.

We were most disappointed that the cafe near the Abbey was closed, and we made several unsuccessful attempts to quench our thirst.

We wish to thank most sincerely the History staff who accompanied us on our expedition and helped to make the morning enjoyable and worthwhile.

A VISIT TO THE GLASSWORKS

On Friday, July 4th, the Lower Chemistry division visited the Wakefield Translucent Glass Works with Miss Armitage.

We were shown through the different departments in the works which concentrate mainly on making light shades, and were shown the different stages in their manu­facture. The glass itself is a mixture of Dutch Silver Sanci, sodium carbonate and limespar. This mixture, which is riddled to make it very fine, is heated in the furnace to a temperature of 1,400 degrees Centigrade during the night to melt it, but during the day the temperature is lowered to 1,200 degrees Centigrade, while the glass is being removed. The glass is removed on the end of special rods and blown to the required size. If coloured glass is required, the hot glass is dipped into the appropriate chemi­cals. White enamel glass is obtained by using zinc oxide and potassium nitrate and speckled glass is made by dipping the hot glass into a container of coloured cold glass which fuses into the hot glass to produce the speckled effect. The hot glass is then blown in wet pinewood moulds to the exact shape.

After moulding, the glass is annealed, that is passed on a moving belt through a furnace in which the hot glass is slowly cooled. After two and a half hours the glass is cool enough to touch and the extra glass pieces on the shades are cut off and shades made in pairs are divided. This is done by heating the glass on a revolving wheel with a jet of burning gas and then touching it with a carborundum stick. The raw edges of the cut glass are smoothed on a metal wheel. If an indented edge is required the cutting is done when the glass ~s hot and the edge pressed on to a metal mould. The

Page Forty W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

pieces of glass cut off and imperfect shades are broken up, put in the furnace with the glass mixture at night and used again.

The shades are then taken to the decorating depart­ment where they are either sprayed with enamel paint, decorated with lines, or coated and sprinkled with ground glass to produce a crinkled effect. The shades are then sent through another furnace so that they are gradually cooled from a temperature of 500 degrees Centigrade.

The actual manufacture is now complete, but the shades are inspected, labelled and packed to be distri­buted in Great Britain or exported to India, South Africa and New Zealand.

We should all like to thank Miss Armitage for making such an interesting outing possible.

VI FORM VISIT TO THE I.C.I.

On Tuesday, July 15th, a party of twenty VI formers accompanied by Miss Armitage and Mrs. Bedford visited the I.C.I. works in Huddersfield. These works, the largest of their kino in the world, manufacture over 1,500 different organic dyes, as well as some inorganic substances.

We first visited the warehouse where we saw thousands of drums of dye bound for all parts of the world. Great care is needed in the handling of these drums, the contents of which may amount to several hundred pounds. We were next shown the house where the dyes are mixed in huge wooden vats, which have been in use for nearly fifty years. We saw several samples of the purified dyes in powder form, ahd it was difficult to realise that a dark green powder was "in fact a violet dye, and a maroon powder a bright orange dye. Our next visit was to the ice plant. There the low temperature required to produce ice is obtained by the liquefaction of ammonia. After seeing the ice blocks released from their containers by warm brine, we visited the ice storage and shivered in a tem­perature of minus 2 degrees Centigrade. In contrast our next visit was to the furnaces where we roasted as we peered into the furnace the interior of which was at 1,600 degrees Centigrade.

After visiting the aniline department, we visited the nitric acid plant where nitric acid is prepared by the oxidation of ammonia. The nitric acid produced is stored

W .G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Forty~one

in stainless steel tanks, and it is used in large quantities for nitration in the synthesis of organic dyes.

After leaving the modern analytical laboratories and the power house which provides all the electricity used in the entire works, we finally visited the beta-naphthol plant, from the roof of which we had a panoramic view of the whole works, which are about one square mile in area. Here, and throughout our visit we were struck by the cleanliness and order of such a huge factory. We were also impressed by the few men needed to run the plants. We saw automation in action, in for example the nitric acid plant which needed only two men for supervision the entire plant being controlled from one huge instru~ent panel.

Our visit to the I.C.I. ended with a wonderful tea to which we all did justice after our interesting afternoon. We all wish to thank Miss Armitage and Mrs. Bedford very much for arranging this very enjoyable visit.

DR. BARNARDO HELPERS' LEAGUE

This year our collection from members of the League amounted to £64 16s. 9d. I quote a letter of thanks from the Secretary at Barnardo House, London: "I do hope you will tell the girls how much we value their help and thought for our large family. We are greatly encouraged by their gifts and by the knowledge that the whole School is really concerned for the welfare of the less fortunate children whom we serve."

I hope all members will continue to give their support in future years. M.L.

ORIGINAL WORK

SEPTEMBER EVENING IN SW ALEDALE

In all England I do not think there is a more beautiful sight than the view down Swaledale on a September evening when the sun is setting. Of course, people who are not used to the countryside may think it dull, but all country lovers would revel in it I am sure. Carver, the mountain which shelters Jieeth, is silhouetted majestically against the sky and gives the valley a calm and serene atmosphere. As twilight falls, the hillside becomes covered in a starry dress of twinkling lights coming from the windows of the lonely cottages on the fells. The hooting of the owl, the dis­tant sounds of murmuring streams and the high-pitched scream of the bats in the dusk break the silence and then all is still again. The tall, black trees exposed to the wild, westerly gales stand erect as the wind rustles their leaves.

Surely nowhere in the whole world does the sun set in such beautiful colours as on these heathery slopes. Never could one see such soft, restful colours; the deep purple of the heather and the greys, reds, mauves, and pinks of the sky. Down in the valley the brown peaty Swale tumbles along in its own sweet way. The stars begin to glimmer in the new dusky light; the last rosy glow goes down behind the horizon and as the last beam lights up the valley it seems as if it is trying in a vain effort to keep up its performance. The darkness deepens and soon all that can be seen is the black outline of the Three Sisters, the three lone pines.

OUR PUP (after Dickens)

Oh! ,But he is a mischievous pup, Smiley! A bounding, racing, scrabbling, chasing, rolling, thoughtful pup! Happy as the birds that sing in the sky; round, rosy, wriggling, racing! The joyfulness within him makes him leap and bound like a live wire, yell and yowl, makes his brown loving eyes sparkle, keeps his tail continuously wagging, and makes him as strong and fierce as any lion in the jungle.

CffiCUS MORNING

See the fir-trees' splendid sparkle - In the frost of early morning.

In the field stands " Bingley's Circus," Bright against the white surrounding, Waiting for a cro~d of people, Waiting for the artists' frolics. In comes Rosa on Black Beauty Springing, jumping to the music In the empty top, deserted. Then come Coco and Barbini Turning somersaults and laughing, Laughing at the children peeping Watching them with eyes that twinkle Till the practices are over And the mists of morning vanish.

MOONBEAM

As I saw her from a distance she looked a perfect beauty. Moonbeam's soft, silky, long white hair, shone radiantly as it fell like a thousand silver stars onto her shapely shoulders. Her movements seemed modest and dainty but her face, like the moon itself was round and jolly. She looked serene in her shimmering silver gown as she shyly edged towards me. Her shoes were silver too but long and pointed; a perfect match to her small silver pointed hat. She stretched out a small silver gloved hand and grasped me by the sleeve. She was rather quiet and a little timid, it seemed, of showing herself for she kept at a distance looking, like a wee glow-worm.

At last we came to Moonbeams Palace. It was rather dark but was lit by strange, searching, silver beams. Owls fluttered about but every owl was silver. Bats with silver eyes rubbed against my legs leaving betraying silver dust clinging onto them. I stood entranced, held in wonderment and awe.

A BOOK REVIEW

" The swish of the curtain," by Pamela Brown.

The Blue Doors lay on the cliff top, basking in the sunshine, and talked among themselves.

"You broke the window, Maddy." "Yes," Maddy agreed proudly, "I did the most impor­

tant thing in" the two years. If I hadn't, we should never have found the theatre."

"Then there was that tea-party at the Bell's." " And the first concert." " And the Nativity play." "And Stratford-on-Avon." " And the garden fete." "And the pantomime." " And the Bishop's little meeting in the Corner

House." "And the Contest." " And me going up to London," ended Nigel. "Now let's think about the future ... " began

Lyn. And, although the future could not be as they planned

the past was well worth remembering, and its chronicle will bring much pleasure to those who read this most enjoyable book.

PORTRAIT OF A CRAFTSMAN

Old Fred is a builder. Although he is over seventy years of age, he still takes an active part in the business. He is a typical craftsman in both appearance and manner. He dresses more for comfort than appearance, no stripping down into a vest to work in the sun in summer, for Fred doesn't like his skin to get sore with sunburn. He wears a striped union shirt to absorb the sweat. A broad leather belt supports a pair of trousers of sturdy cloth, with no creases in them except where he bends at work. A loose grey cardigan gives comfort and warmth to his back whilst working. Fred does not wear a collar, but a tie can be seen knotted loosely round his neck. His skin is a little weathered; but in spite of this he is clean shaven. As he contentedly sucks away at an old cherrywood pipe, his eyes twinkle as though he has some private joke that he is enjoying. When the need arises he produces a large red handkerchief with which he gently rubs a large beak-like nose. In dress, Fred's extremities are well considered. He is well shod with a pair of strong black leather boots laced to within the two top lace-holes, the laces being tied round

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Forty-seven

the ankles. On his head he wears a thick strong cap. Unless you have occasion to invite him into the house, you will never know whether he is bald or not as the cap never leaves -his head whilst he is out of doors. How Fred would adjust his dress to the conditions of winter I do not know as he never works in winter nowadays.

Fred's work is his life, and a job well done gives him more satisfaction than a lot of money. That is why he hasn't made a lot of money, even though he has been a builder all his life.

Although Fred has built many modern houses, he still lives in an old, simple stone cottage. There are several rooms, but the one most often used is the kitchen. This is small, yet comfortable and cosy. Although there is not much furniture, what there is, is adequate and comfortable. Two luxuries Fred does allow himself are a good car and a telephone, but both these are part of the business so one can hardly call them luxuries.

Fred is a builder, his father before him was a builder and now his son is a builder. It is very rare that in these days of mechanisation you meet such a man, and in my opinion it is such a pity that his like is rapidly disappearing.

WHITE 'MAN'S MAGIIC

By the fire on winter evenings, By the loud-voiced television, Sit the little English children, Sit the fathers and the mothers Watching, watching, eyes a-staring, At the moving Panorama, Many things are learnt in this way, Many hours are wasted also, Till the Great One frowning deeply, Speaks to all around assembled, "Time for bed, my sons and daughters."

THE GREAT STORM

The first Saturday in February, 1953, was a cold, bright, blustery day. It was not until next morning when we saw the headlines in the Sunday newspapers that we realised what a disastrous day it had been for all towns and villages along the coasts of England. At Staithes the tide was already at its full height for the time of year, three hours before four o'clock when it was officially high

Page Forty-eight W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

tide. Just as darkness fell, the villagers knew that the sea would strike at their homes.

All the occupants of the houses on the sea front put up their storm shutters and fastened their doors. If they wanted to go from one part of the village to another they used the numerous small passages between the houses, or the hillsid'e paths.

The relentless sea came pounding on; it came dashing over the sea rails bringing with it missiles such as floating timbers and boulders as big as footballs. These it hurled over the promenade rails and lobbed indiscriminately at the houses. It tore away promenade rails to give itself a better chance in the next advance. The sea advanced and retreated like some giant bulldozer intent on carving out for itself a huge mouthful of the village.

Here a door, there a window. It gnawed bit by bit, wave by wave, at the Cod and Lobster inn until it demolished the building entirely, taking with it an e1ectric washer, an electric cooker, several barrels of beer and an unopened crate of whisky besides the week's takings.

Most of the boats which had been moored up the beck were swept away by the tide besides several yards of English soil.

After the storm was over on Sunday morning the vil­lagers were amazed to find a concrete blockhouse, which had been erected in the war, leaning drunkenly against the cliff. Then they, in common with many others from Lands End to John O'Groats, began clearing up the rubble which was left.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM

Strawberries, rising like mountains from a creamy sea, are a sight wonderful to behold. The mouth begins to water as the bespeckled lumps of red are attacked by the spoon and, one by one, are carried to the mouth. Their taste lingers long after the last delicious morsel has dis­appeared, and all that remains in the once so wonderfully piled dish is a thin streak of cream unreached by the ever-searching spoon. One's mouth waters again as more of the delicious fruit is heaped into the dish and thick yellow cream makes the strawberries into snow-capped mountains. Again the spoon goes out for prey, and searches for the last morsel of red fruit which sits as far out of the way as possible in the corner of the dish. At last, the ruthless spoon captures it and it joins its fellows.

A DESCRIPTION OF OUR GARAGE DOOR

The door itself is corrugated and silver in colour. It is not an ordinary door, but a door which ' is rolled upwards in a most extraordinary fashion, and does not, as most doors do, open on hinges. At the bottom of the door there is a handle, which, when turned makes a noise which could almost have been riven from the very bowels of the earth. Then when you begin to push up the door, it begins to protest, and very aggravatingly sticks and obstinately refuses to be moved. When however it decides to become more co-operative, which ~sually ta:kes longer than my patience lasts, it gives a sudden jerk and flies up into its opened position at an amazing speed. But this door is not to be trusted and so, after the task of opening it, we have to make the door fast so that it will not fall, if anyone breathes. This is our ~bstinate garage door, the cause of so many lost tempers.

STRANGE FOOD

Thin streams of blue-grey smoke rose from a clearing surrounded by gum trees and small shrubs, in the east of Arnhem land, close to Blue Mud Bay.

~~er going without food for several days, the Abongmes had had a good day's hunting and were celebrat­in~ with a feast. To add to this fact, the friendly Merrite tr:be were entertaining an Australian and his young English fnend.

It was almost dusk and the tribe were gathered round the smoky fire, chattering merrily with strange nasal and gl:lttural soun~s. The women were preparing the feast, w1th many dellcacies for their guests. The weird droning o.f the didgeridoo could be heard, as the women busily ~mged the fur off a small wallaby, jointed it, and handed 1t round to the smiling, starving men. For John the Englishman and Bill there was a cooked goanna. Bili was familiar with the Aborigine food, ways and language, and would eat almost anything he was given. John, however was more cautious, but found that he enjoyed the tender goanna meat. The b~ackfellows were rapidly tearing the tough wallab~ meat Wlth their strong, extraordinarily white tee~h, throwmg the bones to lean, yelping mongrels wh1ch gnawed them eagerly.

When all .the meat had been eaten, the women handed out yams, wh1ch they had collected. These were thick and club .shaped, with a mild flavour of sweet potato, and were delicious, although a little tough. Next, woraka nut

Page Fifty W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

bread, burnt black after being cooked in hot ashes, was handed out, daubed with sweet, viscous bright yellow honey, which the children had gathered. The two white men nibbled cautiously at the strange nutty bread and the sweet honey. With this the aborigines gave their guests one of their delicacies, minced sting ray on paper bark plates. "You'll enjoy this," drawled Bill to his friend, as a wrinkled, chocolate-coloured old man nodded and grinned in agreement. John took a handful of fish from the sticky, greyish-pink mound. He chewed it thoughtfully, and swal­lowed hard. It h,ad a strange, lingering flavour. "How do they manage to mince it?" asked the suspicious Englishman. " Oh, they chew it up first," replied Bill, and John gave a sickly smile, as he pushed his "plate " on one side for a small, thin mongrel to lick.

The young Englishman felt strangely dizzy when the next course was brought from the shelter. There were two long pieces of gum tree bark covered with fiat, white grubs. The blackfellows loved these, eating them one by one like oysters, or chewing the succulent, white grubs and smacking their lips in delight. After the grubs, the feast was rounded off with sour, wizened berries, and starchy water-lily seeds. John ate a handful, but with great difficulty in swallowing them, as his throat felt dry and swollen. He felt sick and dizzy and his head was full of the buzzing, droning notes of the didgeri­doo. The air was smoky and humid, because the summer monsoons were due, and John tried to compare his first meal in the bush with one of his favourite restaurant meals. The restaurant was light and airy, with electric fans, venetian blinds and the familiar clattering of plates and chinking of glasses, but in the bush there was nothing like this. Bill helped his English friend to stagger to his feet, and led him to a loondung, a raised platform where the aborigines slept. As they clambered onto the platform an old blackfellow handed John a thick, fresh-water lily root to chew. "You've had some strange food tonight, John," drawled Bill. "I know," mumbled John with feeling, and as drowsiness began to overcome him, he could hear the blackfellows as they champed water-lily roots, sang weird songs, and played the didgeridoo, far into the cool, Australian night.

THE PREPARATION OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE

Across to the Chemistry Lab. we go, .Wading knee deep through icy cold snow. Pulling our boots off makes us quite late. We peer round the door to find out our fate. "What are we doing to-day?" we ask. Miss Armitage points to a sinister fiask, With funnels and clamps and corks attached And a rubber tube that Rowan has patched. "Hydrogen Sulphide to-day," she says. "You can prepare it in one of two ways. The better method means using Kipps; We should have done that, but I fear the clips Won't work, and so we put in this flask Some ferrous sulphide. Now, what did you ask? Some Hydrochloric Acid too." In goes the acid, a bubble, a squeak. Suddenly Margaret sees a leak "Susan, fume cupboard open! Phew! Odd how the tubing never quite fits," Remarks Miss Armitage, and splits A fiat-bottomed fiask completely in two. Oh, now what are we going to do?

A DAY IN VENICE

It was a hot, early morning scene we saw that day, and the bus was already getting uncomfortably hot, as we swung out of the dusty paved square in Lugano at 6.15 a.m. The owners of the fruit stalls were setting up their wares and old women in black lace veils came from entrance~ and side streets, to the church door, drawn, as if by a magnet, by the tolling of the church bell in its little tower.

Our skilled driver was an Italian-Swiss, who seemed to h~ve very definite .ideas on speed, and we roared along with the horn blarmg cheerfully at any inferior-seeming vehicle which dared to approach. We stopped at the clean and fresh little lakeside town of Brescia, which is built on the banks of Lake Iseo. Then we reached the auto-strada wh~ch leads to Milan, a marvellous road built under the regime of Mussolini, which carries heavy traffic on its ideal surface. We skirted Milan, and were soon in the rich, glowing countryside and amongst the tiny villages once again. By the time we had reached Verona the bright streets were full of people, and the stoaes of ~hich the houses were built, were warm to the touch, for the

Page Fifty-two W .G.H.S . MAGAZINE

sun was high in a blue sky. Soon after that Padua flashed past our windows, and I caught a fleeting glimpse of t~e cool, cypress-shaded cemetery in which Romeo and Jullet are said to lie, immortalised for ever by Shakespeare.

At last we saw the suburbs of Venice in the distance marked by a huge skyscraper of a garage, with a name blazoned upon it in neon lights.

The moment we started to climb stiffly out of the bus (vehicles are not allowed in Venice) we were greeted by the overwhelming patter of the street vendors, trying to sell postcards at outrageous prices. We walked slowly across to the canal bank, slowly because the ground almost burnt our feet, it was so hot. Sunglasses came out of bags, and sunhats too, but I did not put sunglasses on, for the colour of the scene was so gay and novel, that I did not want to look at it through dark, dulling glass. Although this was only a minor canal, it was busy with black gondolas, some of them heavy cargo boats, which had to be worked by two gondoliers, who shouted loudly to their friends in voluble Italian, all the time moving their paddles with swift downward strokes which quickly spun the boats along.

A few passenger gondolas came up to us, and moored temporarily at the old white and blue striped wooden posts, which emerged from the water at the bottom of each flight of steps leading down to the canal. Soon we were seated in one of the black gondolas, and being propelled rapidly along by the gaily hatted gondolier in traditional dress. Presently we stopped in the middle of a canal, and as I had my back to the prow, I turned to see what was the matter. We were at a crossing of the canals, and there, standing in a striped wooden box, which was quite isolated from the side of the canal, was a tramc policeman, motioning a grain-loaded gondola across the larger canal! Soon after this we saw a fast police launch and also a water ambulance, and then, at last, we were in the Grand Canal, up which a cool sea breeze blew, and the sun glinted on the windows of the palaces which flanked the water. All too soon, we turned into a side canal, and so to a small sort of gondola bay with wide steps down to the water. We got out of the gondola and as it was long after noon, we were led to a small cafe, just by Saint Mark's, and there we had lunch. At 2 o'clock, .the great bell of San Marco boomed out, and a huge flock of pigeons flew down to the square, and I found that this was their regular feeding hour; so we bought a small packet of Indian corn at an exorbitant price, and soon we were surrounded by a flock of these loud-voiced Venetians, who ate all we had to offer them,

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Fifty-three

and then flew off to further hunting grounds. As I walked into the palace of the Doges, a sense of calmness and coolness flowed over me, its age and true beauty made itself known_in the blending of immortal paintings with the smooth, ancient wood of the panellings; and the hollows worn in the flagstones made me wonder who had walked over them in years gone by, and what the thoughts of those people were. But the dungeons with their airless cells, and thick, heavy doors, with rusted bolts were in another world, a hard place, where prisoners were given no mercy, and must indeed have sighed in vain on the Bridge of Sighs.

The church of San Marco was even more beautiful, in its way, than the palace of the Doges, with uneven mosaic floors and painted ceilings. The church was dim inside, and very quiet, with a few monks tending the various altars. The exte1ior was as beautiful as the interior, the simple sculptures on the walls standing out from the other buildings in the square. However we were not allowed to stay long l:lere, but found ourselves being shepherded through narrow streets, and finally into an unpretentious­looking building which was the glass factory. I could have watched the skilled fingers of the craftsmen forming the figures in delicate shades of glass, for hours. We wandered round the silent, fascinating showrooms, filled until they were overflowing with sparkling, brightly coloured glass, which looked so delicate one hardly dared to move.

Afterwards we returned to the Square of San Marco, and sat a.t one side, the only cool side in the afternoon, drinking iced orange, whilst we listened to a small band accompanying a singer. After this short rest, we looked in the tempting shop windows, and by dinner time, we all had some beautiful piece of glass or other, for who could resist the dainty little vases and figures, only to be bought in Venice?

We went into an Italian restaurant for dinner and ordered hors-d'oeuvre, for the waiter assured us, in his +aulty English, that we would like it, but when he brought the tray of little dishes, we saw some most peculiar pink and black things, which on closer inspection, we found to be baby octopuses! However, in the end we had a delicious meal, and walked back to the great square in the half light, to find it transformed to a place of sparkling lights and gay Italian voices. We walked by the sea bank, and took a last look at the lights of Venice, changing the ancient place to a fairyland, brilliant and happy. All too soon we were in the bus again, dozing uncomfort­ably as we sped homewards. At midnight we stopped at an outdoor coffee bar by the great Roman Amphitheatre at

Page Fifty-four W.G.H.S. MAGAZJN'!:

Verona, where operas are performed in the open air, in the height of summer.

At a quarter to four, we were back in Lugano, and as we walked wearily upstairs, I knew I would never forget my day in Venice.

ON NOT POSSESSING A TELEVISION SET

I did not watch the television-no! Do I prefer ·I.T.V.? Why, that's not A question I can answer, for you see I have no television set to view. Hence neither programme occupies my time. I pay no licence to the B.B.C., . Nor rush to purchase goods much advertised By freakish songs amidst long tragedies. No metal hieroglyphics sway aloft To creak above my roof in howling gales. You say it's snobbery or poverty?

A FLIGHT OF FANCY

I was rummaging among my possessions one after­noon when I came across a miniature picture of a Spanish bullfight. Outside, the day was cold and dreary, and a gale was blowing up, very similar to any day in March. Imme­diately go!Pen wings adhered to my heels and I was taken into that wonderful paradisal world of reminiscence.

The weather gradually became hotter until I could feel the glaring sun beating down upon my sun-hat and neck. I was in a plaza da toro or bull fighting ring. The air was thick, dusty and stifling and there was a heavy drowsy perfume of flowers as I stood in the entrance to the ring. How I actually had got there I did not know for I was in a daze of unbelief. There were beads of perspiration on

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Fifty-five

my face, and my breeches' legs were sticking to me while I frantically grasped my muleta and sword.

A trumpet blast roused me as the picadors and chulos in gorgeous apparel on brightly harnessed horses and mules dragged off the bodies of the dead and continued the pro­cession round the sand-covered arena. It was headed by civic officials, one of whom ceremoniously demanded the key of the bull stables from the president of the corrida. There was another trumpet fanfare and the arena was cleared except for the mounted picadors and chulos who were on foot, and I went back to my entrance. A door was opened and a bull, previously goaded and excited into a fury charged out. There was an immediate hush round the crammed arena.

The bull charged at the first picador he saw, who prodded him with his spear. The chulos were also distracting him by flaunting muletas. The bull charged at another picador who was thrown, and the horse was severely gored. As I watched the stampeding bull my heart beat faster and faster. What chance would I have against a steaming, frothing monster like that?

Presently the picadors and chulos went off, leaving the bull to charge at itself. Some men on foot entered the arena. Their aim was to tire and irritate the bull even further by planting darts in his shoulders. When four darts had been implanted, the arena was cleared again and the last act was about to begin.

My heart was racing beneath my ribs. I was paralysed with fear.

There was no noise except for the thundering and snorting of the beast. I advanced on legs like water. I clutched my sword in a paralysed grip. The bull eyed me with eyes like hidden whirlpools. He charged at me and I suddenly realised that my life was in danger. I jumped aside and manoeuvred him away with a wave of the muleta which was draped over my sword. He charged again and again, his mouth frothing, his hide steaming, his eyes rolling as he got more vicious and furious. I began to lose courage. Surely it would be better to let him come and kill me straight off than to ward him off and be gored and die a slow and indescribably painful death.

Suddenly someone shouted from the gallery, "Kill him!" The shouts diverted the bull, and gaining courage I advanced on him. There was an unearthly silence. Then the bull swung round and faced me. Thirty horrible seconds, thirty horrible seconds of suspense passed while that crea­ture and I contemplated each other. Then, swiftly I drew out my sword, and thrust it through the animal's shoulder and, I hoped, through his heart. His eyes dimmed with

Page Fifty-six W.G.H.S. MAGAZINIJ

a grey haze, his sides stopped heaving, his mouth produced no more froth and he fell to the ground-dead. All went black as I fell beside my victim. Faintly, as though from a great distance, I could hear cheering.

As I look up it is raining and the wind howls round the keyhole like a hungry animal. I take off my wings and put them away safely for another journey to the land of reminiscence.

REPUBLICAN STREET

"Republican Street "-a dirty, dingy, dangerous side street in Cromwellian England. Originally it was called "King Street" but Cromwell soon changed that. Stinking and filthy, .the street stretches out for about half a mile. The roadway is cobbled and the middle of the road is considerably lower than the rest of the road, providing a gutter for refuse and filth.

Tall houses reach up on either side of it, almost meeting at the top, preventing any but a few fitful rays of sunlight from entering. The shutters are up and the street appears deserted but it is not quite, a stray pig

W.G.H.S . MAGAZINE Page Fifty-seven

wanders along the centre of the road smelling, sniffing and snuffling at the garbage in the gutter. It stops for a moment. Has it found a tasty morsel? No, it is only a piece of bloody paper from the butcher's. From the inn, lately called "The Three Crowns" but re-named " The Three Griffins " comes a stench of stale beer and a waft of forbidden Spanish wine.

On one doorstep a 'prentice lad is sound asleep. He has temporarily forgotten the flogging he will receive from his master for being so late back from a harmless revelry. If he should be discovered by a soldier he will be placed in the stocks, because he must be "dis-affected" having had a few drinks and a little fun with some other apprentices. His clothes are ragged and torn, his hair tousled and his feet unshod save for one sock out of which a large dirty toe is poking. He stirs a little in his sleep and turns over exposing his face. It is dirty and scratched but underneath the dirt it is friendly and cheerful. His dreams must be pleasant for he is grinning and looks as though he might burst into chuckles of laughter at any moment.

It is almost time for the nightwatchman's round of "Republican Street." He enters at the far end and shuffles down it peeping and peering at every doorway. When he comes to the 'prentice lad he stops and looks at him. He should report him but Old Joe is a kind man and he himself might well be described as "dis-affected" towards the Protector's reign. So he merely prods him with his foot and continues on his shuffling way. He is a bent old man with a long beard and very little hair. The few teeth remaining to him are cracked and yellow, having more the appearance of fangs than of human teeth. His suit has seen better days but will also see worse. In his younger days Old Joe was a street crier. He can well remember the merry England of Charles I and in comparison today seems dull indeed. He swears and curses under his breath and then looks quickly round, half -expecting to see a soldier and to be quickly marched off to Newgate, for that is the punishment for a few harmless "damns."

As Old Joe comes to the end of the street, dawn is breaking and he calls, "Five o'clock and all's well!" The 'prentice lad stirs once more and then jumps quickly up and begins to take his master's shutters down. As the light filters in, the street looks for a moment more desolate and deserted than ever. But not for long because soon the shutters will be down and life beginning again.

DAY-ECHO

Moth dusk flutters, window-bound, Tree-caressing whisper wanders wild, Slowly hooting-night descends Phantom of black, Encroaching half, yet vanishing. Silence-pounding weight oppresses, Breathless motion-void discord, Riot tumultuous; nothingness. Day-echo, noiseless, hanging.

THE SCHOOLGIRL IN FICTION AND FACT

Is the schoolgirl of fiction the schoolgirl of fact? Is the heroine of countless detective stories that pimply child with spectacles? Is the rogue in prep. the same orderly child at any day school? I think not.

How many schoolgirls, I wonder, are eligible for a St. Trinian's badge? Perhaps one in a million! Do we all flick ink pellets at mistresses we detest? The very fact that at least thirty girls are writing quietly in this room now proves that this is not so, otherwise there would be no girls here ; we should all have been removed from the school at the headmistress's request.

In books, at most schools, the heroine is repressed by tyrannical mistresses and prefects. I cannot recall a real tyrant in my school, or even an ogre! A stickler for detail, perhaps, but no absolute despots or dictators. In fact we are quite an orderly collection with neat (almost neat) hair, clean (almost clean) shoes, tidy (almost tidy) dresses, and even some aptitude for work! We are not as bad as the belles of St. Trinian's, or as good as the responsible girls in serious books. I could hardly describe myself as being a second Jane Eyre, but I am not a second Bessie Bunter either. I have never saved the school's cricket honours by scoring a century in an important match, and I have no rich uncle who needs his jewels rescued from thieves. In fact, I am very ordinary.

The dreadful thing about fiction is that it gives most people the impression that schoolgirls are either rogues or goody-goodies. A friend said to me a few days

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Fifty-nine

ago, " I always wondered what went on at an all-girls school." Quite frankly I could not think of anything that "went on." We laugh as other people do, we work as other people dc:r, we complain like boys if we have too much home­work, and we like staying up late. Unlike the schoolgirl of fiction, however, we rarely do anything about extra home­work, we never sign petitions asking for release from prep. or threaten to go on strike. Our routine is disturbed twice a year by examinations, but somehow we never stay in the Fourth Form all our lives as the girls in books do, indeed they do not have examinations at all except when it is necessary for someone to be found cheating. There must be something about the Fourth Form that sets writers aglow with imagination; I am unable to see it, but then I shall never be a writer.

Must I go on? Surely no-one can compare us with the heroines of books. We seldom get into trouble and seldom do we earn high praise, but we have lots of fun. We come in all shapes and sizes, all moods and manners, and it is not surprising that adults fail to capture us in their books because there are so many types of us, all so vigorously alive, that we cannot be compressed in an orderly fashion into the pages of a book.

THE VOICE

The gale blows wild without And rages round, and through The aching trees, which turn And groan their agony. And ever in the wind There wails a moaning voice Which echoes all my fear, My inner misery.

JUNIOR SCHOOL SECTION

FOREWORD

The Junior School section of the magazine gets bigger and better every year, for which you are to be congratulated and I wonder if we shall ever be ambitious enough to produce a whole magazine of our own? The editor is very kind to us but if, as I hope, you continue to increase your number of well-written poems, stories and accounts of events, we shall have to ask for still more space. It has not been possible this year to include all that was offered but the pieces selected cover a wide variety of topics and represent all classes in the school with the exception of the Kindergarten who are rather too young to appear in print.

The first two terms of the year were not easy for anyone. To make things more difficult, no sooner had we settled down after the summer holidays than many of you decided to take a second holiday in order to have 'fiu. In the Spring Term it was not 'flu but snow which was to blame, for a number of you found the roads blocked and it was not your fault that you were unable to get to school. However, by working hard you have managed not only to make up for the time lost but also to find time to visit numerous places of interest in and around Wake­field. Here, I am sure, you would like me to thank the members of staff who give up so much of their time making the necessary arrangements for , and accompany­ing you on these various excursions which I am sure you find both enjoyable and interesting. The list of activities will remind you of all the events. Detailed accounts of some of them appear elsewhere in the magazine and you will see that you have again covered a wide field both in and out of school.

I think the occasions we remember most vividly are those where the whole Junior School enjoys the experience of working together and co-operating as one unit and at these times every member of the School has fulfilled his or her part conscientiously and successfully. The two most notable occasions were those when we were able to invite our parents and friends to join us at School. The Junior School carols provided a seaso!lable ending to the Christ­mas Term and once again provided the younger children with an opportunity to bring toys for distribution among the less fortunate children of Wakefield. The most impor­tant date in the Summer Term was, of course, July 16th when we welcomed visitors to our second Open Day. This

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Sixty-one

year we decided to " open " only in the morning from 8.45 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. but this allowed sufficient time for classrooms to be visited, displays of art and handiwork to be inspected and for a short concert at the end of the morning. We are grateful to all the parents who spent so much time with us and we hope they enjoyed their visit and felt that their time was well spent.

We seem to have been making changes and alterations in the Junior School for some considerable time, but now we have nearly reached our goal. At the beginning of the year we were able to take into use the garden attached to the extra building and this has given extra space for use at Interval and in the dinner hour and has been particularly enjoyed by Form III who have been able to organise games of Rounders away from windows and smaller children. Alterations have been going on inside the building and with your help the change-over of rooms was made in the last few days of the Summer Term and we are able to look forward tQ starting the Autumn Term in new and independent surroundings.

This year we have had to say good-bye to several members of staff. All had been with us for a long time and we were very sorry to see them go. Miss Taylor left us at Christmas in order to teach children in hospital. Miss Ross and Miss Arch are going to teach children who are not well enough to attend ordinary schools and Miss Nolans feels that she must choose a school nearer to her own home. We are very grateful to them for all their help. We hope they will be happy in their new schools and we look forward to seeing them when they are able to pay us a visit. As you know, Miss Pelton is to be married in the summer holidays but, fortunately, she will be returning to us in September as Mrs. Turner. Mrs. Nutting came to us in January to take over the Kindergarten class and in September we are to be joined by Miss Malham, Miss Isaac and Mrs Town and we hope that all our new friends will be as happy as we believe our old friends have been.

BROWNIE REPORT- 1957-1958

Once again the Brownies have had a very successful year. Twelve children have become First Class Brownies and we have been able to accept many recruits from our long waiting list. Activities during the year have included a Bonfire Party, a Division Brownie Party at Christmas to mark Centenary Year, the Annual Guide and Brownie Service at Wakefield Cathedral and a Summer Picnic. Last August twenty Brownies had a most successful Pack Holiday on Ilkley Moor. The weather was good so we were able to enjoy bathing, picnics, long walks and a climb up the Cow and Calf Rocks.

We are very sorry to be losing Miss Nolans as Brown Owl, and we should like to thank her for all her hard work with the Pack.

THE MOVE . The day after Open Day the Kindergarten, Lower

Transition and Upper Transition moved into the new school. School Remove helped to move some of their belongings. There were tables, chairs, bags, paintings, dolls, books, blackboards, flowers and toys. The little ones were very helpful but they did look funny. Some of them carried pillows and rugs over their shoulders and looked like a row of little bears. Everything was carried very carefully especially the goldfish and tadpoles. Before the end of the morning all the classrooms in the old Preparatory School were empty, except that of School Remove, who had not to change rooms.

The next day it was the Juniors' turn to move from the Main School to the old Preparatory School. During the gym and music lessons when we were not in our form rooms, the desks and cupboards were taken by removal men to the Preparatory School. We followed later, carrying great piles of books, our own chairs, jam jars, shoe-bags and many other things. By the end of the morning we were all glad to have dinner and rest in the sun before finishing the removal. By mid-afternoon we were all settled in, Form I in the room where Lower Transition had been, Form II into Upper Transition, and Form III into Form II's old room.

ACCOUNTS OF VISITS AND EXPEDITIONS

A VISIT TO THE MINERS' RESCUE STATION

On Wednesday, November 13th, we, Form III, went to the 'Miners' Rescue Station. We arrived there at 1.30 p.m., and went into a lecture room, where Mr. Keeton, the Superintendent, gave us a lecture on various things. He showed us the safety lamps and took one to pieces to show us the different parts. He also showed us the breath­ing apparatus used by rescue workers which weighed ~ tremendous amount. We also saw some of the thick steel ropes which haul the cages, or lifts, up and down the

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Sixty-five

shafts in a pit. After being in the lecture room we went downstairs and saw some men in breathing apparatus. They also had on hard hats with lights attached and knee­pads to protect their knees. After seeing the men with all their apparatus on we went into the model galleries where the rescue teams practise. When we came out of the galleries we went into rooms where they have cylinders containing oxygen. In the next room they had all the apparatus ready in case they were suddenly called to a pit disaster. After that we went outside and saw the canaries used to test for gas. Then we went to see the ambulances and vans. One ambulance was about the size of a bus and contained stretchers and a great deal of apparatus. After the visit to the Rescue Station we had learned much more about mining and rescue work.

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL'S CAROL SERVICE

On the last morning of term the Juniors' Carol Service was held in the Jubilee Hall. At first I wondered why the choir were on forms below an empty platform; and I wondered still more at the coming of the Angels! Large Angels with wings and halos came first and stood in the centre front of the platform, and little fledgling angels, whose wings had not yet grown, completed an Angel screen right across the stage. The Angels and the choir sang carols, then the first part of the Christmas story was read by a member of the Junior School; as she ended the Angels parted to show the Annunciation in dumb show. The screen of Angels closed, then reading and carols followed. The Angels retired to reveal Joseph and Mary seeking shelter in Bethlehem. Time and again the Angels moved apart to show the Shepherds' visit, the Three Kings and the Flight into Egypt. The readings were very clear, so was the miming. The actors knew we needed large actions and well spaced movements to follow their pre­sentation which was done quietly but vividly and with real appreciation.

The story told, the little ones in the Preparatory School went from their places in front down the two sides of the Hall, came up the centre, and laid their gifts round the Christmas Tree at the side of the platform. Everyone sang the final hymn, "0 come all ye Faithful." It was a happy service, a fitting prelude to Christmas Day

FORM II'S VISIT TO KIRKSTALL ABBEY

It was a fine sunny day when we went to Kirkstall Abbey. When we arrived Miss Pelton took us to the Cloister and showed us different parts of the Abbey, and then we were able to explore by ourselves.

We star.ted to find out the answers to our questions, such as finding Norman shaped windows, different kinds of ornaments and carved animals' heads. We visited the Chapter House and the other buildings leading off the Cloister.

Next we went into the enclosed part of the Abbey buildings. Here we saw a huge vat by the Malt House. Then. we saw the Warming House where the monks and lay brothers warmed themselves and could talk, and the meat kitchen and Refectory which is the Dining Room. We enjoyed exploring the Abbot's lodging ana we also visited the Infirmary.

All too soon we had to return home, thanking Miss Pelton for arranging the visit and Miss Mark and Miss Cook for answering many of our questions.

Before the Dramatic Contest

Bronwyn Hampshire, age 9. Judith Scott, age 9 (Form II).

The twenty past three bell goes after a hard working day. " Home at last," we think, and then suddenly the producer shouts " Will those who can, please stay to rehearsal." There is a general shuffling and groaning, and people try to think of an excuse to get out of it.

We doggedly start to push the desks out of the way while the principals get dressed.

Those who have not learnt their script get ticked off, and then the producer says, "Let's get going, for goodness sake." A few people (we'll mention no names!) try to make rep.earsals difficult by chipping in with idiotic remarks and playing about generally.

Anyway, along we go having many hold-ups and with great difficulty we get through the first scene.

The producer or assistant says wearily, "Next scene, please." So it goes on until the four o'clock bell and then we all go thankfully home.

Bridget Duncan, age 10 (Form Ill).

The Drama tic Con test On Monday morning we came to school thinking not

about the usual dinner tickets and undone corrections but wondering whether Hiawatha would have chicken pox' whether Nokomis would have a cold, and whether Iago~ would forget her words.

However, all was well, and when we got to school we were all so busy plastering make-up on that we forgot all our worries, until, when on the stage just before the curtains opened, we found that there was no cooking pot for the venison. Someone dashed off to the kitchen and came back with one, which, if it was aluminium, was at least a cooking pot.

Janet Lane asked me to open it with an extract from the beginning of Hiawatha, which luckily, I knew off by heart. Then the producer stepped out from behind the curtains and introduced the play.

As if in a dream I heard my voice going on and on . . " By the shores of Gitchee Gurnee,

By the shining Big-Sea-Water, Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,"

until the end; "There the wrinkled old Nokomis

Talked to little Hiawatha." After that things went well, and we enjoyed ourselves

until the curtains closed. After the last war-dance we trooped down off the stage,

into chairs in the hall, where we watched " The Jackdaw of Rheims," " Robin Hood and Allan-a-dale " and " The Pied Piper of Hamelin."

Then one of the judges gave the result. WE HAD WON!

Judith Wilson, age 10 (Form III).

A VISIT TO SIRDAR WOOL MILL

On May 25th Form II went to Sirdar Wool Mill. We arrived in pouring rain and Pat ran off to find her father, Mr. Sugden, who took us to the canteen ,and explained the first part of the story of wool. We then split up into three groups and began our tour. First we saw the tops which look like large cotton reels. We then saw where the wool is drawn out and spun and made into one, two, three or four ply. In some places we saw some brown and white wool spun together to make fawn thread. In these rooms the noise was terrific and the machinery raced round so fast that no one liked to go near it.

Page Sixty-eight W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

One of the most interesting things that we saw was the washing. The wool was put between two tapes, moved slowly through four baths, put in a spin drier which took out most of the water and then sent through a drying cabinet which was full of hot air. Then we saw the white wool being let into huge baths of dye. It smelled of wet blankets and wash-day in that room. After that we saw the wool being wound into balls and packed into cellophane bags ready to be sent away.

After this we went to see how they made patterns for the woollen garments. We went up some stairs into a small room. Here a lady told us how the patterns were made, checked and put together. We saw some young girls l,mitting garments from the patterns they had made up, and checking the patterns. We saw one girl knitting a dres~ with beads which were threaded on to the wool. Then we went downstairs to see the garments being ironed and sewn together ready to be sent to shops for display.

By this time we were very hungry and our feet were very tired. To our surprise one of the ladies took us upstairs into the dining room, where we found a delicious tea waiting for us. While we ate we were given some patterns and leaflets. When we had thanked everyone we went to catch the bus home and found the rain had dried and the sun was shining.

Members of Form II.

AN EXCITING VISIT TO A POST OFFICE

On Thursday, May 15th, Form II went to the General Post Office. We went in two groups. The group which I was in went second. First we saw the stamping machine and the man who was showing us round stamped some letters for us to see. Then he showed us where they stamped them by hand. We then went to the place where they sort the letters for the different towns. The letters were then put into big mail bags and were collected later to be sent off to their different places. The next place we visited was where they sorted the parcels. These, too, were put into 'big bags and were left to be collected later.

A little further on, we saw a wire cage which con­tained the registered letters. All these departments were in one big room and they were very interesting to see.

Our next visit was into the sorting office for local letters. These letters were sorted and put into little pigeon holes, on which were marked all the streets. In this room there was a box in which they put all badly addressed envelopes and letters with unknown addresses.

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Sixty-nine

These were called "dead" letters. We then went to a different part of the Post Office which was called the telephone exchange. This was very interesting, as we were able to see how telephone calls were put through to different people. In this room were girls wearing head­phones with a mouth-piece attached, sitting in front of a switch board. When a call came through, a light flashed on, and the girl pushed a plug in a hole, which connected the caller. When the call had finished another light flashed on and the plug was pulled out. It was all very interesting and we enjoyed every minute of our visit.

Susan Firth, age 9 (Form II).

AN OUTING ON THE "WATER PRINCE"

On Wednesday, June 11th, some of Third Form and Four Lowers went on a trip up the Calder on the "Water Prince" with six mistresses.

We arrived at Thornes Wharf at a quarter to two and set off five minutes later, progressing slowly towards the first lock, Thornes Lock. This part was a canalized river. The first lock raised us up eight feet three inches and we found ourselves on the river. Altogether we went through three locks and one pair of flood gates which are closed in times of flood.

There were many barges on the canal, the cargoes being mostly coal and sometimes sand or steel.

The locks were very narrow and there was only just enough room for the "Water Prince" to pass through. At some locks there was nobody to work the gates, so the driver of the barge got out and worked them, then jumped back on to the roof of the barge and inside again.

On the way back we had tea. Soon after tea we got back to Thornes Wharf after a very enjoyable afternoon.

Rosaleen Calvert, age 10 (Form 1II).

YORK

We set off to York at about half-past twelve and we reached York at about two o'clock. First we got into our two groups. The group that I was in went to Clifford's Tower and the Shambles with Miss Nolans. We went into the Tower and looked at the fireplaces. The fireplaces were round with tall chimneys and you could easily have cooked an ox inside the fireplace. Then we went up the spiral staircase and had a look at the River Ouse and the River Foss. Then we went to the Shambles and Phillipa and I bought a little pot owl. Then we went to the Minster

Page Seventy W .G.H.S. MAGAZINE

where Miss Pelton was waiting with the other group. We changed groups and off we went. We went into the Minster by the West Door. We came in and inside it was very tall. In the Minster there is a place called the crypt. The crypt is under the choir. There are three altars and a place where St. Edwin was baptised by Paulinus. Under the crypt are the remains of a Roman pillar. The pillar is round and quite wide. Also in the crypt there is a place where the monks washed. Then we went to the Five Sisters window. The Five Sisters is very big and very beautiful. Its design is supposed to be taken from the tapestry of one of the Five Sisters. lrhen we went to the Lady Chapel. It was beautiful. In the Nave there is a place called the High Alta:r which is the most important altar. Before we went to the Minster we went to the Norman Walls with Miss Pelton and Miss Nolans. The walls were very wide, I should say about 3ft. 6in. wide. When we had walked along the walls a little way we came to a place where the guards would h ave kept guard. Then we went back to the bus and went home.

Rohais Peace, age 10 (Form II).

THE TINY TREE

Once upon a time there was a tiny tree. It lived in a little garden. It was watered evry day but it would not grow. The other trees were big, the poplar tree was very big but this little tree would not grow. So they planted it in a different place. They watered it but it still would not grow. They were very sad that it would. not ?row so they planted it in another place. They watered 1t agam. Next morning it was big. Wot was the matter was it had not had enough water.

THE LITTLE GREEN ENGINE

Once upon a time there was a green engine. It was smart and tidy and clean. It lived on its own in a big shed in a town called New York, which is a long way from England. One day it was put on the Northern Pacific, ~nd on the way the signals had browken down and the pomts were the rong way. Another train went strate down a siding. At the end of the siding were some buffer stops. Another train went straight through them and into the sea.

THE THREE LITTLE PIXIES

Once upon a time there were three little p1x1es, one was called Grumpy, and the second Dopy, and the third Happy. Happy was allways smiling and Dopy allways put things in the wrong place, and Grumpy was allways very cross with the others. Dopy was the youngest one and Grumpy was the oldest one and Happy was, well, middle. Happy cooked the meals and Dopy set the table, but Grumpy never did anything but sit by the fire and be waited on by Dopy, who allways gave him the wrong things. Happy made Grumpy so cross that he threw them back at him, and Dopy ran out of the room and came back with the right things and ran out again.

One day Happy and Dopy said they were going out for a walk and would Grumpy come because · they were going to take there lunch with them. Grumpy said "·Yes,"

Page Seventy-two W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

and that was the first time he had ever said yes. " Help me pack the lunch," said Happy. "What are we having," said Dopy, who had no ideas about food, but was allways thinking about the flowers and the animals in the wood. They had ham sandwiches and egg sandwiches and tomato sandwiches and potted meat sandwiches and jelly. For drink they . had lemonade and milk. " What games shall we play," said Grumpy. " Hide and seek, blindman's buff, grandmother's footsteps," said Happy, " that's all we'll have time for." They had a wonderful picnic and they went home to bed. In the morning they said to each other, "let's explore the woods." So they set off after breakfast. They found lots of exciting things, but when they looked in a hollow tree they saw a chest, and when they opened it they saw lots and lots and lots, oh, so much gold and silver that glittered and shone before their eyes. They were so excited that they jumped up and down and stood on each others toes, but they did not feel it. They picked up the chest and took it home, and when they got home it was bed time, but they did not sleep a wink that night because they were so excited. When they looked for the chest in the morning all the gold and silver had gone, and when they looked out of the window they saw a lot of men dragging the chest along to a great big car. So the three pixies put a spell on all the men so that they would forget where they left the gold and silver, but the pixies would know. And in the morning they went and found the gold and silver and llved happily ever after, even Grumpy.

THE FORGOTTEN CANARY Once there was a canary called Tweets. His little

mistress was called Katy. Every day Katy gave Tweets a bit of lettuce and sometimes a sugar lump. One day -Katy forgot ~o give Tweets his seed and the next day she didn't clean out his cage. Poor Tweets never got his water. One day a sparrow came and hopped on to the window sill and said, "How are you, Tweets?" Tweets answered, "Not very well. Katy never feeds me or cleans my cage." Then the sparrow said he would speak to the pixy in the garden. So off he fiew. The pixy was angry. He flew to Tweets with a pot of brown paint and painted Tweets brown. Then he opened the cage and out fiew Tweets. He fiew far away, but the rain fell and some of the paint came off. So if you see a yellow and brown sparrow you will know who it is, won't you?

LIFE

Every time we go to school, We always must obey the rule, We sit in desks and write away Sometimes sad and sometimes gay, And wonder what is four times six And sometimes get in such a fix. ' Then comes gym and, oh, what luck I think we're having out the buck' Then arithmetic! What a bore ' To have to think what's three times four. The time when I am bright and gay Is a~ the ending of the day, ' To sit nice and warm in a nook Singing or perhaps reading a book. Then half-past five, oh, how gay, To see Sir Lancelot attack, away, Then bedtime, I must have a bath And mummy calls," Hurry up, Kath.'; I say my prayers, get in my bed, And then lay down my sleepy head.

SEA SHANTA

The grey horse plunged and reared, he was angry, he had been captured; taken from the plain where he had be~n born. He had freedom in his blood, and now he was bemg roped and caught.

But his captors held him tight and try as he would he cou~d not get away. He was held until he tired and then With three lassoos round his proud neck he was led to a pen.

When he was pushed in and tied to the fence he looked a~out; the~e were many other horses round about him. Tired looking carthorses, wild two and three-year-olds old mares and stallions, but there was one outstanding hor~e. He was roan with grey-blue points, and he neighed shnlly to Sea Shanta, asking what his name was.

But before the stallion could answer a man came and roughly took hold of his rope and led the now meek horse to an empty space in front of a table at which stood a man.

. "~ot 39," he said, "a marvellous horse, I grant you, qu~et m traffic, wonderful hack, give me a start of 100 guineas."

Page Seventy-jour W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

But then things began to happen. Sea Shanta reared, his unsuspecting holder dropping hold of his mane.

With a squeal Shanta jumped the fence and galloped away, neighing madly, the neigh of a stallion born to the plains.

THE DORMOUSE (with apologies to Longfellow)

In the dark and dusty cellar, Stood "the little dormouse weeping, Weeping for its home and fireside, For its bright and homely fireside. Lost it was, and sad and lonely, Far away from house and mother, Suddenly it heard a scraping, Heard a loud, mysterious scraping, Saw a head so slowly forming, Then it saw a little body, Saw a furry, hairy body, With a long and winding tail. Slowly, slowly saw it moving, Moving very slowly forward. Then it stopped and turned towards him. Suddenly the dormouse started Bowed down low before the other, For it was the great King Peter, Yes, the great and glorious Peter, King he was over all Mousetown. Said unto the little dormouse, "Who are you and what do you want?" " I am lost," then said the dormouse, Then the great and wondrous Peter, Asked him where he lived, and who with, Then the little dormouse told him, And he called for coach and coachmen, Took the little dormouse homeward, Back unto his home and mother.

HOW THE RATTLESNAKE GOT ITS RATTLE

Once upon a time, when the world had just begun to be a world, all snakes were the same. There was the Grass Snake and the Bass Snake, the Adder and the Madder, and the Prattle Snake and a snake without any particular name at all.

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Seventy-jive

And none of these snakes bit. One day, th·e snake without any particular name at

all decided that he was tired of all the other snakes, so he went to the cave where the Humans lived, and he said to the woman, " Oh, my friend, and wife of my friend, I want some warm goat's milk" (The Humans kept goats and drank the milk.) And the woman said, "If you want warm goat's milk you must work first."

" I will not work," said the snake, and he glided off into the forest and thought. He thought, "If I work for the woman she might not give me warm milk, and I am weak and she is strong." Then he had an idea. He began to make the first Magic in the world. Round and round he glided, twisting into knots and coils and twiddles.

When he had finished he went back to the cave, and bit the woman in her leg with his poisonous tooth. Then he went to the bowl where the warm goat's milk was kept and drank his fill, while the woman lay groaning on the floor. Then the snake glided away into the forest.

· When the man came, and found his wife groaning on the floor he went to the Dyjinn in charge of all things and said, "Oh, Dyjinn, is it fair that a snake should bite my wife with a poisonous tooth? "

The Dyjinn said, " Which snake?" And the man said, "My wife says that it was not the Grass Snake or the Bass Snake or the Adder or the Madder or the Prattle Snake."

Then the Dyjinn went to the cave and caught the snake without any particular name at all and said, " 0, snake, I cannot take away your poison, but I can give you a rattle so that people will know when you are coming."

And he did, so that is the end of the story. Judith Wilson, age 10 (Form III) .

MY HEART'S DESIRE

I used to want a castle, With towers gaunt and tall, I used to want a palace, With many a marble wall, I used to want a garden, With flowers of every hue, There are so many things I used to want, Though I only recall a few, But I want to know, As I sit by the fire What, oh what, is my heart's desire ..

OFFICERS AND COMMITTEE, 1957-58

PRESIDENT: Miss Knott

SECRETARY: Mr. F. E. Lodge

TREASURER: Mrs. H. C. Dixon.

CHAIRMAN: Dr. J. F. Fraser.

COMMITTEE MEMBERS:

Staff Representatives: Miss Ross, Miss H. M. Jones, Miss Summers, Miss Greenwell, Miss I. M. Ross.

Parents' Representatives (to retire 1958): Mrs. J. F. Atkinson, Mrs. D. M. Beaumont, Mrs. J. T. Cropper, Mr. E. Holt, Mr. c. Priestley, Mr. H. Hick; (to retire 1959) : Mrs A. B. Glover, Mrs. A. J. Horsfall, Mrs. C. Maynard, Mrs. H. Ward, Dr. J. F. Fraser, Mr. J. M. Grimshaw; parent of the Head Girl: Mrs. W. J. Wycherley.

Once more the Parent and School Association has had a busy year. Soon after the Annual General Meeting we held the Family Dance. This was well attended by both parents and girls and was thoroughly enjoyed by all ; a tidy sum was made for the Building Fund.

The Christmas Party was well attended as usual and after the introductory wit sharpening game a beetle drive really liv~ned things up. Games, interspersed with country dancing occupied the rest of the evening and the carol singing was reached all too quickly.

On a dark evening in January, Alderman E. Slater, J.P., took us on his travels abroad by means of his films and made many of us envious of his good fortune in visiting these colourful places.

W .G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Seventy-seven

March brought Miss Irene Hilton of the Women's Employment Federation to the School and she again gave us the ben_efits of her wide knowledge of the subject of "Careers." The questions from the audience showed our interest in this most important subject.

Miss Bell produced another musical evening in May and the selection of items was well suited to all tastes. As on previous occasions the Parents and Staff co-operated to provide the artistes.

To finish the year we had the hardy annual - an Evening's Country Dancing, our pleasure this year was marred by the unavoidable absence of Miss Jones, who had done all the back room work beforehand, and the rain, which made it necessary to dance in the hall. Miss Ellis stepped in as commere at very short notice and with the help of the girls enabled everyone to enjoy the evening very much.

Apart from the dance no other special event in aid of the Building Fund was held this year. However, the collection of sixpences still continues and we look forward with pleasure to the day when we can break the bottle and hand its contents over to the Fund.

Although the year has been very successful we do feel that a considerable increase in membership is still possible and we do appeal to all parents to support us in this most important link between Parents and the School. Our next Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, 22nd October, 1958, in the Jubilee Hall, and we look forward to seeing many new faces there.

Without the full support of Miss Knott and her Staff our meetings would not be possible. We express our thanks to them for their continued assistance and extend to them and the School our best wishes for another happy and successful year.

COUNTRY DANCING PARTY, 1957

For the second year in succession the O.G.A. held a Country Dancing P arty in September, more especially to welcome the new Old Girls who had just left School. Nevertheless, those older members amongst us who joined in enjoyed ourselves very much! We do this hoping ~hat once the ice is broken, Old Girls will return more readily to our meetings, and will learn to overcome their horror of a return to School, once they have left it, and perhaps realise that most of us return with a sense of homework undone and shoes un-marked!

We should like to thank Miss Jones who gives her services so unstintingly every time we ask.

ANNUAL WINTER MEETING, 1957

The Annual Winter Meeting was held on November 23rd. After discussion of the Treasurer's report and accounts, and taking into consideration the increase in postal and various other charges, it was resolved to raise the Life Membership subscription to £3 3s., and that of the Annual Membership to 5s. The Secretary then presented her report of the year's activities and the meeting was followed by the Dinner.

Page Etghty W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE

OLD GIRLS' ASSOCIATION DINNER

The O.G.A. Dinner was held on November 23rd in the Jubilee Hall. There were 75 members present and all seemed to enjoy the evening. Our thanks are due to the Secretary, Joan Swinton, for arranging the Dinner, and to Muriel Burdin and Maud Wilkinson for" fixing" the liquid refresh­ments. The proceedings opened with the toast - "The Queen," proposed by the President, Miss Knott, who then welcomed everyone and said how pleased she was to see so many Old Girls present.

After Dinner, the retiring Vice-President, Miss Edith Martin, rose to propose," The School." She began by saying that it was not until she left Wakefield that she realised that Wakefield Girls' High School was held in such high regard, and that the educational standards of the School y;ere well-known and respected far beyond its immediate environment.

She recalled, too, many incidents and occasions during her School life, which brought back nostalgic memories to Old Girls who were at School during that same period.

Miss Martin said how pleased she was to see the oldest Old Girl present-Mrs. Judge. She and Miss Martin's mother were contemporaries at the High School. She reminded us of the great interest Mrs. Judge has always taken in the School, and of the work she has undertaken so willingly.

Miss Ross replied to the toast, proposed with so much affection by the Vice-President. She remembered that when she first joined the School Staff it was after a great money­raising effort for the building fund for the Jubilee Hall. There was a strong school spirit and much hard work of an adventurous nature then. Today, she said, there is still that spirit of adventure which shows itself in many different forms.

Miss Briggs gave a report on the last London meeting of the O.G.A., when they met for tea at the Y.W.C.A. in Great Russell Street.

Miss Knott then rose to say that she felt sure that the new Vice-President, Mrs. Vera Haigh, would like to say a few words to everyone. Mrs. Haigh said she was glad to have tbis opportunity of thanking the members fo r the honour they had accorded her in electing her as Vice­President, a position to which, as a girl at school, she would never have aspired to attain. The Head Girl, Pauline Wycherley, then thanked the O.G.A. for inviting her and other members of the Sixth Form to the Dinner.

The evening ended with the singing of the School Hymn. I think we shall all be glad to remember that Mrs. Baynes was able to be with us on this occasion and

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Eighty-one

how happy she was that the Dinner had been such a success. Her verdict was-" Lovely! We must do it again!"

Vera Haigh.

ANNUAL SUMMER MEETING, 1958

Thi~ year the Annual Summer Meeting took the form of a Bnng-and-Buy Sale which, despite the atrocious June weather, was well attended and financially a great success. We made £25 10s. and £1 18s. was collected at a showing of. the School Film which was made two years ago by Miss Labrum as her contribution to the Building Fund. The larger sum will be given to the School Magazine Fund.

Several members of the present Sixth Form attended the Sale and .helped to enliven the proceedings with side­shows, at which we all tried our skill, and we are very grateful to them for their assistance.

The Bottle Stall proved a huge success and attracted large crowds throughout the afternoon.

Everyone worked with a will to make the event a very happy one.

MRS. BAYNES MEMORIAL FUND

This year the Association has suffered a great loss in the death of Mrs. Baynes, our Treasurer for so many years. It was felt that some memorial to her should be made and it was proposed to buy a piece of furniture for th~ Library, which should bear an inscription to Mrs. Baynes' memory. So far Mrs. Gledhill has received £40 to this end. Should any members still wish to subscribe, please send your donations to Mrs. M. Gledhill, 9, Westfield Grove, Wakefield.

MRS. BAYNES

. When we heard of Mrs. Baynes' death on April 23rd I thmk every member of the Old Girls' Association, whatever her age, mourned the loss of an old and valued friend one who had given the School and the Association de~oted service through many School generations.

She had not only been the Old Girls' Treasurer for 38 years, but she had worked unfiaggingly for the School ~agazine, helping to raise funds when it got into financial difficulties, and by her enthusiasm rousing others to do the same. She tried to keep in touch with all the Old Girls and to persuade them to send their news to the magazine.

My first memory of her was in 1913, I think, when the School was getting up a Pageant and Mrs. Baynes was called in to direct and drill the " Roman Soldiers." She

Page Eighty-two W.G.H S. M A .A:.t.INE

.,,_,as a tall auburn-haired young woman then, very enthusias­tic and a perfectionist in every way and she set a standard of deportment and manner we should all of us have liked to emulate.

In spite of a very serious illness about 25 years ago, she eompletely recovered her old vigour and keenness and ~X- a ::: a striking example to us all in showing her loyalty aac unselfish service to the School.

We shall always miss her at School functions and Old Girls' gatherings. We are grateful to her for all she has done for the School and for us, and we shall remember her with great affection and admiration.

P. Stonehouse.

THE LONDON GROUP

The sixteenth Reunion was held in London at the Y.W.C.A. on Saturday, October 19th, 1957, when Thirty-eight Old Girls and Staff came along. Miss Knott took the Chair as usual at the informal meeting held after we had had tea, and gave us the latest news of School activities and improvements. We were delighted to have with us Mrs Baynes, whose death, later in April, has deprived the School and the Association of a very hard worker and an excellent Treasurer.

Miss Knott joined eight of us in the evening at the theatre to see Flora Robson in "The House by the Lake."

I should be glad if members who have now left London would kindly let me know before I send out reminders of the next Reunion which will be held on Saturday, October 18th, 1958.

EDITOR'S S.O.S.

In order to avoid mistakes, it would be a great help to the Secretary, Treasurer, and myself, if when writing to any of us, or when returning the News Slips, all Old Girls would kindly

(a) sign full Christian name (not initials). (b) give maiden name if married. (c) inform us of any change of address promptly.

Quite a number of notices and magazines never reach members simply because we have either no address or one which is out of date. Thank you! J.M.G.

AS WE WERE AN OLD GIRL REMEMBERS

by Mary L. Stollard

Girls of today, with their numerous games and societies, and other school interests, can scarcely realise how different life was for the schoolgirls of long ago.

High schools and public schools for girls were still a comparatively recent innovation at the beginning of this centuty, and the idea of school uniforms was scarcely known. Most of us, I remember, wore dark coloured serge skirts, and home-made blouses-flannel or flannelette in winter-with stiff linen collars, and ties and belts of the school's colours; and in summer, voile or muslin, finish ed off with high, well-boned necks, and lace frills.

The advent of the Boer War brought a craze for patriotic red and khaki, so we blossomed out triumphantly in bright scarlet blouses with hair ribbons to match, and khaki ties fastened with Union Jack brooches.

Winter and summer alike, we wore hard, white straw sailor h ats, secured with elastic under the chin, thick black woollen stockings, and flat sensible shoes. The wearing of gloves was compulsory. A mistress used to stand at the school door to see that every girl put them on before she left the building.

Hockey players sported boys caps of navy blue cloth, with a school badge stitched on at the front. We played in a small sloping field, on rough and often muddy ground, and as we h ad no real captain, and few rules, our game generally consist ed of a wild exciting scramble, each for h erself and the devil take the hindmost.

Hockey, by the way, was a lmost the only game we did play. The two tennis courts in the garden had to serve the whole school, so our chances of getting a game were limited. The fives court, by the side entrance, was built about this time, but many girls thought this new tangled game strange and difficult, and it did not become popular until some time lat er.

Bicycles were the craze of the moment, though some elderly people objected to them as unfeminine and quite unsuitable for girls. I can recall an angry letter in the " Wakefield Express," deploring the fact that the " young ladies " of the High School were allowed to appear in public, " shamelessly mounted astride these iron constructions, with every movement of their lower limbs visible to horrified crowds."

W.G.H.S. MAGAZINE Page Eighty-seven

Despite these protests, however, we formed a school cycling club, and enjoyed many "spins" in our long, pleated cycling skirts, modestly held down by elastic to prevent a.py unseemly display of ankle. Eight miles an hour was the speed limit, and the number of people who were guilty of scorching filled the newspapers with furious tirades against the insane recklessness of cyclists, and the dangerous stat e of the roads.

We made several attempts, at different times, to start school debating societies, dramatic societies, and the like, but they generally died out for lack of support. The excursion society, organised by Miss McCroben, our popular h ead mistress, was the most successful, and lasted for some years. We managed to visit several places of interest, despite the difficulties of transport. Motor cars were in their infancy, and our parents, regarding t hem as death traps, strictly forbade us to enter one. We had to travel by train or horse omnibus until the first trams appeared in Wakefield in 1902.

These ran as far as Sandal Church, and for months were uncomfor tably crowded by people enjoying the thrills of a ride in this novel and amazing conveyance.

We had no cinemas, no dances, no t elephones, and, of course, no wireless or t elevision, though even if we h ad, I doubt if we could have found much time for them. The movement for the "Higher Education of Women," which swept the country in the 'eighties and 'nineties, had resulted in a mania for public examinations.

At thirteen or so we were shepherded through the Oxford or Cambridge Preliminary Locals. The next year we took the Junior, followed by the Senior Locals, and then we worked for the all-important Matriculation. Girls who stayed on at school after passing their " Matric " usually entered for the Higher Local Examinations, which meant another two or three years' hard study.

Yet, rather oddly, many of these girls who worked so incessantly seemed to have had no further motive than a genuine love of study, or perhaps a desire to shine in the eyes of their friends. They were quite content, when they left school, to take their hard-earned honours home, and stay there, helping in t he house and in the parish, paying calls with their mother, and keeping up their accomplish­ments.

The modern idea that every girl should " do some­thing" was unknown. Teaching and nursing were almost the only professions open to women, though a f.ew of the town offices were just beginning to employ girl typists,

an innovation that was regarded with angry disapproval by the top-hatted, frock-coated male clerks of that time.

Our old school days! I look back across the years. across the chaos and desolation of two world wars, and recall countless pleasant memories of eager work and play, of quiet enjoyment, and happy lasting friendships, and above all, of. the peace and security that surrounded us in that golden sunset of the Victorian era.
