The earlier part of the School year was saddened by the sudden death of Pansy Barkis, aged seven years.
She was one of the first to enter the School, and we feel that we cannot omit some mention of her name in this account of the Community.
She possessed that wisdom and insight with which some rare souls are endowed from their earliest days, and we who knew her will always remember with gratitude her gentle and joyous personality which so much helped us to realise the possibilities of childhood.
The reproduction on the frontispiece of this report is from a small stone figure symbolic of childhood erected in memory of her.
