Speech Day is to be on Wednesday, July 31st. The Master of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers (our Estates Governors), has kindly consented to give away the prizes. Mrs. Bagnall-Oakeley has promised a most delightful prize—the School badge in gold. This Golden Rose is to be given to the girl who has shewn herself the " loveablest and Jikeablest," the girl who-according to the votes of all her schoolfellows has been con¬ sidered the most unselfish, amiable and dutiful, who has tried most to " serve and obey " during the past year. There is an account of the Wild Flower Competition in the School News, but I should like to add that though the names of the flowers were given very fairly for the first attempt, I shall look for more accuracy next year. Lizzie Mcllroy has joined the Rose Guild. Yours affectionately, July 9th, 1895. NINA LTJCKES.
