SCHOOL NOTES During the past half year, the emphasis has swung away from buildings development to grounds development. Our grounds, whose beauty used to be such a source of pride to us, were in danger of becoming something of an eyesore, so that we are grateful to the school authorities that they realised the position and gave permission to spend and be spent. The ploughing up of the cross paths, with their Union Jack effect, was followed by top dressing and grass planting. Already these paths have quite disappeared. The central hump, leading nowhere, was levelled, and a path made direct from the bell tower to the new wing, with a flower garden at the end. All paths are now flanked with cannas, dahlias, and azaleas. The least spectacular, but by far the most arduous part of the work, has been the re-digging of the lawns, which consisted practically only of weeds and rank grass. However, that has all been tackled, and by 1958 we hope that the school will have Its New Look. Mean278
