Their Hour
TWO 12-year-old girls stood shyly on the assembly hall platform at Subiaco State School today as about 470 of their schoolfriends watched.
For Leonie Dyson and Judith Hall, it was a moment of triumph — the climax of many days of organising and planning a school concert which raised £9/10/ for the St. John Ambulance.
Leonie and Judith, co-producers of the concert, filled the role of honour today when St. John Association president Dr. B. C. Cohen presented a certificate of merit to the school.
The idea of the concert was born when two schoolfriends of Leonie and Judith were taken to hospital by St. John ambulance early this year. Leonie and Judith decided to learn something about the association.
When they found it was a voluntary affair, they felt they wanted to do something to help. For weeks they worked on auditions from every class in the school. The concert was held last week.
