Grapes of Wrath, How
Green Was My Valley, As You Like
It, Jane Eyre, The Rains Came, And
Then There Were None, Laura, Call

Bay, 13 Rue Madelaine, and House

movies will be brought out for fur­ther
voting. They will either be
presented during assembly or left
on a table in the main hall for
voting.
Hartley said he hoped there would
be a good turnout so that the
movies can be continued.

excellence in producing ceramic
pieces, made the tiles by the "over-glaze''
technique, which means that
die design protrudes slightly from
the surface.; They have a green felt
backing and may be used as a tea­pot
pad, as well as a catch for
mounting on a wall.
