EDITORIAL. 
We are pleased to pr~setit a further edition of the School 

Magazine, which, owing to ,war time regulations, has had to 
be once more considerably reduced in size. For this reason 

the number of original articles presented is few, but the task 
of choosing did not present any difficulty to the committee as 
the quantity and guality of the articles subniitted were poor. 
We feel that the school is not.enthusia.tic enough, and .wish 
that the girls would realize that it is their magazine arid that 
it is up to them to make it a success. 

We must apologise to the O.O.A. for the small space 
which ,can be given them. 

The most outstanding event of the year was the departure 
of five me,mbers of the staff. We were naturally sorry to lose 
Miss Lewis, Miss Buckerfield, .Miss Hall, Mrs. Varian and 
Miss Millard (who was only with us for one term), but we

Wren. 

"Some members of \Vren may remember being· warned 
about the sad results of complacency and conceit, last year. 
I would like to r.emind them that nothing but hard work will 
keep" for them thi position of .. Top House.'" We ar~all ve"y 
plel;sed and proud to think that we have now won the House 
Cup for five years in succession. Now keep it up I 

" Throughout the school year 1940.41; ,Wren showed a sad 
lack of enthusiasm where sports were concerned. Why not 
repeat our performance of 1936-37, ",hen we won all the cups 
it was possible to" win? This year we were disgracefully 
defeated 'in both our hockey matches, and tlie excuse that 
there was only one "team member to play for us is not sufficient. 
Why were there not more Wren people in the team? 

We were more successful in our tennis matches, when we won 

.the match against Barnes, and I consider that Mary Biddiscambe 
deserves the credit'for this. 

However, remember your reputation as 'pard worl<ers. 

Next year let there be no "half-measures-win all the cups I 
And Good Luck to you. 
SHEILA ADAMs (House Captain). 

Hardy. , 
At one time Hardy was considered a fairly flourishing· 

• 

House, and for several years it successfully gained the cup 

given to the Top House." Since -then ;'ve have ,dropped ,to 

U 

the position of second House, which is noi good "enough. "This 
year Jhe members do not seem to have pulled their weight at 
all. Even if we do not shine in our worl<, we can all I<eep the 
school rules and avoid Red Book entries which, at the present 

moment, are far too numerous., 

Page Tu·o 


Throughout the year, however, great determination, was 
shewn by the House in both hockey and tennis matches, Hardy 
winning the Match Cup on Sports Day. ' 

We were sorry to lose at the end of the year 'our Staff 
Representatives, Miss Lewis and Miss Bucl<erfield, but were 
pleased to welcome in their places Miss Lay and Miss Eleming. 

I am confident that with a little more united effort'from, 

and consideration for the House, we may one day regain our 

long held position of" Top House." , 
WINIFRED IMBER. 

'Barnes. 
The news of Barnes during the past year is far more 
hopeful than that" of recent years, for we have put our foot on 

the upward rung of the ladder once again, and so have rein


stated ourselves as a 'House that is worthy of mention . 
. On Sports Day, Barnes, after a hard struggle, carrie!!"off 
the Sports Cup, a feat of which all our members were justly 
proud. There had been hopes at the beginning of the year 
that the House Match Cup might be ours as well, for we had 
a strong hockey team whicli was successful in both its matches, 
but unfortunately we came down badly over our tennis. 
Nevertheless we are proud to say that five of our memSers 
gained their hocl<ey colours duri'ng the season. 

Our activities in the sphere of work were less praiseworthy, 
for we ,vere still a long way behind the" Top House." 

Red Book entries seemed to hold far too many attractions for 
a great number of us, and our plus points mounted up very 
slowly. 

However, Barnes has made a start in the right direction, 

and it is up to every member of the House to see that full use 
is made of that start. Come on, Barnes, and show the other 
Houses,that you can do it if you really make up your mind. 
At the end of this year you must be content with nothing less 
than the House Cup itself!

BOARDERS' REPORT. 

The year 1940-41 was a jolly one for the boarders who 
"brightened" the blacl<-out with strange games and bloodcurdling 
sounds during the winter months, and turned the 
cellar into a joke during the many air-raid warnings at the 
beginning of the year. 'In'spite of these appalling "ordeals" 
there was little illness and, of all the ,things which might have 

been considered serious, two cases of mumps and two' of 
jaundice wer:,e the total.

Our numbers increased greatly, especially during the 
Easter Term, and it was found necessary for, some of us to 
sleep out. 

Besides the normal routine, we paid three visits to the 
Savoy Cinema. 'F,he seniors also went to a Folk.dancing an,d 
Choral Social at the Senior School. In the Summer Term 
most of our spare time was spent in playing tennis (when the 
court was not actually under water I)

Hockey. 

During the season the team has shown considerable 
improvement, and has at last realised the value of playing as 
a team instead of playing as individuals. Hocl<ey colours 
were awarded to S. Adams (captain), ,M. Coombs, S. Wilson, 

R. Smart and P. Toogood.

A CAUTlONARY·TALE. 

The chief defect of SililsHoolls, 

Was that of hoarding up old books. 

When Lord Beaverbrook did cry, 

Who, as you Imow, controls Supply, 

Appealed for paper, tons and tons 

To fill up shells and help malle gunS, 

Silas would' not turn them out 

And at the cry would rave and shout. 

Then one night the siren sounded 

And from his bed old Silas bounded. 

Incendiaries fell upon his house, 

And Silas, frightened as a mouse, 

Began to run towards the door 

And found the flames grew more and more. 

Soon the house was quite afire, 

And with the boolIs the flames grew higher. 

And when at last, the-rescue came, 

Silas found himself to blame 
For hoarding such a.lot of boolls 
In all his cupboards, shelves and nooks. 
And now he's playing well his part 
Collecting for the salvage cart. 
So do not.copy Silag Hooks 
And hoard your papers and your books.

THE SPELLING BEE. 
On Nov. 29th, Hardy House challenged Wren to a Spell


ing Bee. Two rival representatives were sent from each 
Form, Miss Petts was" Master of Ceremonies," S. Wilson 

was time'keeper, and the scorers were M. Coombs and R. 
Smart. , 

The result was'a win for Wren, the score being 20-17. It. 
is interesting to note that Marjorie Caie, the youngest Hardy 
competitor, gained full marks, while, K. Jones, the Wren junior; 
spelt only one word incorrectly. We all very much enjoyed 
the Spelling Bee, and hope that more will be organised in the 
near future.

LIMERICK. 

There was a young lady of Mere, 

Who could not help shedding a tear, 

When the calle she was making 

Went wrong in the haking,

THE SEA. 

Th~ sea is very wonderful, 

. 
With white cliffs all aI'ound, 
With dashing waves and snow white foam 
And golden yellow sand. 

The white cliffs tall and stately, 
And the sand where we love to play 
Is sheltered by those tall cliffs 
With s!mdows every day. 

The sea is very wonderful I 
Witli weird aria,ghostly'sounds; 
With islands rich and mighty 
With small and ,grassy mounds.

In the'Spring Term, weather conditions prevented work 
out of doors, but we were busy with the,,2nd Class work, and 
preparing for the County Competition; we also attended a 
Service for Youth held at the Senior School. 

The Company achieved more during. the Summer Term, 
when most of our meetings were held outside, and 2nd Class 
work 'and preparation for badges-Artist, Folk Dancer, 
Minstrel, Friend to the Deaf-went on. succ~ssfully. The 
difficulties of obtaining food did not prevent us from .having 
two hil,es, to'Duncliffe-antl Wincbmbe respectively. 

. The Cup was awarded to'two patrols-Lily.of the Valley 
and Sunflower, thejudges having decided their points were 
equal. ' ' 

We welcome Miss Tunnicliff as successor to·Miss Buckerfield, 
whom we were sorry'to lose at the end of the Summer 
Term. We also said "good~bye" \vith regret to R. Woodriffe, 

P. & J:TOQgood and B. Divers. 
Our plans for this year? We have already started a, Red 
Cross Working Party and have begun a R.X. fund by collecting 
and. selling blacl,berries and hips, and with our quickly 
increasing' Company we hope to extend our efforts to "Do 

our bit."

HIGH SCHOOL: SHAFTESBURV. 
16th November,iI94I. 
Dear Old Girls, 

As the restriction of petrol, and the "blaell·out" make 
meeting you very difficult, and the increasing size of the school 
adds to my ,labours, to say nothing of the triplication of multifarious 
government forms,.! have little time to reply to letters, 
so am grasping this opportunity to tell you all how glad I am 
always to hear from, an'd of, you, and how proud I feel that 
you are ,playing your parts so well in life. 

I read of J{itty Mister'~ fights with bombs, incendiary and 
otherwise, and rejoice in her escape and Diana's; 0'£ Leslie 
Look's nursing adventures and her pitiful stodes of the maimed 
and bereaved whom she has met; of Nancy Norton's struggles 

in "Dark~st Africa," where she and her husband are striving 

to hring spiritual and physical healing-and I feel that these 
girls are typical of all my O.G., and only opportunity is laeldng 

to many. . 

Our financial position is strong; we have' a balance of 
over £14 which we have determined to Ileep intact till circumstances 
allow us to have<a really representative meeting. 

To each of you, I wish God speed. Please write to me if 
you have news, or even if you 'haven't! and do not think 
silence on my part is'forgetfulness!' 

Yours affectionately, 
MARGARIlT RAAD.
