Subiaco girl's success under difficulties
HONOURS
STELLA MOURITZ, a 10 year-old Shenton Park girl, was the happy recipient of double honours at the recent University music examinations. She was awarded honours for theory and honours for piano-forte, grade 6.
Stella deserves particular merit for taking her music exam under peculiar difficulties. After taking her theory examination at the University, she was leaving the grounds when she fell into a hole and was taken to the Children's Hospital with a broken leg.
At first it was not thought possible for her to take her pianoforte exam, which was due in a fortnight's time, but Stella managed to do it with her leg set in plaster, and she was successful in gaining honours.
