BHS Form Students IIC 1927

Now that we have nearly reached the end of the second year we realise that our period of easy life is finished and next year we will have the dreaded Junior to look forward to. Truly our Maths. Mistress has allowed no slacking if weekly Maths. tests are anything to go by. We have also had frequent French tests, but seeing that we have recently taken the French exam., in which we all passed and four obtained distinction, such conduct is excusable.

This term we have worked exceedingly hard in our gardens, and as the fruits of many precious hours of labour we have in our possession the coveted first prize card for the best collection of flowers from school plots. IIC is evidently a very artistic Form, for several of our members were successful in gaining prizes for drawing.

IIC is very proud of having as one of her members Elsie Grogan, the Junior champion athlete. We have also to congratulate Thelma McCoy on having held up her reputation as Form champion.

We have recently had our Form picnic, and, as last year, we had it on the ocean beach. The weather favoured us, and it turned out to be a beautiful day. Altogether we had a most enjoyable time, and we must thank Miss Hunter, our Form Mistress, for organising it.

In the forthcoming Gym. display IIC is taking a prominent part, and we hope that it will prove a great success. This is being organised by Miss Hunter and Miss Newton.

Our form is very sorry that our present Form Mistress will be leaving us at the end of the year. Miss Stephens, too, will also be leaving us, but fortunately she will only be absent for a year.

This year, for the first time, there has been a school Netball Seven, to which IIC has contributed five members. Our anxiety on account of the welfare of the 1928 Netball Seven is great, because the privilege of playing netball is only granted to First and Second Years.
