heavy rain . This was the first time England had entertained anywhere except atWembley since 1951 .The journey was broken by a half an hour stop at Baldock to buy flags,rosettes, and cream cakes .We reached White City at 2 p .m . to find the organisers trying to pack sixtythousand spectators into forty-five thousand places . Despite the fact that we hadbooked and paid for seats we were lucky to get in .The enthusiastic community singing was followed by a loud cheer as theteams came onto the pitch . The first half was dominated by the Australians but athalf time there was no score . Three minutes into the second half the Australiansscored from a corner . England replied with some good passes, making full use oftheir wingers and they were rewarded ten minutes later with a goal . In spite ofseveral good moves the final score was 1 - 1 .We left the stadium quickly and again stopped at Baldock for fish and chips .We arrived back at the College at 8 .15, tired and hoarse from shouting and singing-. it We was would a very like enjoyable to thank Miss day Jackson, Miss Hume andthe bus driver for putting up with our discordant singing on the way home .UNITED NATIONS ADDRESSJEAN BRIGGS and CAROLYN HEAD, 4F .At 4.30 p .m . on Tuesday, 27th January, Lord Carridon, permanent Britishrepresentative at the United Nations in New York, entered the assembly hall ofThorpe Grammar School to address an audience of senior pupils from variousschools in the Norfolk area . Three members of the C .G .S ., Jane Goddard, ShirleyWeldon and myself were present, despite the fact that Shirley had brought all threeby car! Lord Carridon, on a whistle-stop tour of such meetings during a short"holiday" from his duties, made light of the fact that he had just been rushed fromAnglia Television studios and had soon to hurry on to the U .E.A ., and showed nosign of haste apart from an occasional glance at the clock on the wall . His speech,concerning the aims and achievements of the U .N ., and illustrated by personalexperiences, was surprisingly comprehensive, and left the audience plenty of foodfor thought . When he had finished speaking, he answered the audience's questionswith a calm, unruffled assurance which did him credit and convinced us that he knewevery inch of his terrain, until time forced him to quit the platform to begin againelsewhere . Thanks go to local branches of the U .N . for arranging the event, to ThorpeGrammar School for staging it, to the headmaster for bringing it to our attention andallowing to leave school early to attend, to Shirley for getting us there, and, last butby no means least, to Lord Carridon for devoting his holiday to the enlightenment ofsuch as ourselves .A .B .`Leave it alone Brad ' J.S .QUOTES OF THE YEAR`You're not coming near me like that'`Well move then' N.H.Brad.` It's illegible, what's more, you can't read it .
