A Gold Star for Weir House

A Gold Star for Weir House

Dear Sir,

As your magazine is a vehicle for student opinion, I should like to use it to express a sentiment which will remain silent no longer.

I write of Weir House's new House manager/ matron, Mrs Jean Storey. Her arrival has marked the be sinning of a new era in the life of this establishment, timely as it was, coinciding with the long awaited and much welcomed entry into the House of our new sisters.

Much could be said about the dramatic change in atmosphere of the House, but it is only necessary to say that it must be due, in a very large part, to Jean's real concern for our happiness and well-being She has introduced a new dimension into the job. Her effeciency is matched only by her good-humour, and the courage required to make every day a success. Few people, except of course our cook (and a good one too!!) Alison Murphy, realise the amount of organising needed to make a Boarding house run efficiently. Jean and Alison almost invariably strike the right balance of military precision and goodwill. Jean we welcome you.

Signed, Weir a great place now.

P.S. I'm not being paid for this.
