EDITORIAL

Up to a few days ago wo have been lucky with our weather this term, and. have in fact already enjoyed much more summer than we did last year. Consequently there has been a good deal of bathing, and several school and set cricket matches have been played. The results of some of the earlier ones will be found in this number.

During the latter half of the Spring Term the, 90/o boxing, the cross-country race, and the P.T. competition were held.

The School broke up on Thursday April 3rd, the boarders departing on the following day. Everyone was very sorry to say good-bye to Miss Davies, and to Mrs. Dav/e.

The Summer Term began on Saturday,May 3rd. It was pleasant to welcome Mrs. Jackson once again.

Half term exit was from k p.m. on Friday, June 6th until 2*30 p.m. on Monday, June 9th. The boys who did not go home, went to Plymouth on the Saturday, and enjoyed a picnic at Pew Tor on the Sunday.

Crossword puzzles will be found in this number for the first time, and we hope that they will afford readers some interest and amusement* Anyone who should find his efforts at solving them baffled will be relieved to hear that we hope to publish the solutions in our next issue.

OBITUARY

Prebendary C.W.H. Sewell.

Many old boys, and others associated with Mount House in the past, will have read with regret of the death of Padre Sewell recently at Ilfracombe. For many years Mr. Sewell was a member of the visiting Staff at Mount House, and the devoted work he put in, will be vividly remembered by all who knew him. He acted virtually as School Chaplain and took a prominent part in many of the School activities. His ready sympathy tov/ards all with whom he came in contact, was outstanding, and in the sports and games sphere, he was much to the fore.

All who knew him mourn his passing and our sympathy gives out to his sister and others of hi3 family.

3V/EDISH HOLIDAY

Extracts; from my Diary

The Voyage ■;

We have just arrived safely on hoard the S .S . Saga. .1 ara exploring on the top deck now. I can see something alarming - a man who went ashore has been left behind. ■ Now the officers have thrown him a rope with a piece of wood on the end, and he gets aboard at last. Now we•are off 1

All the sailors are Swedish., and so are some of the passengers. The electricity on the ship- is made from the sea water.

When we are about half way across.we see two chaffinches flying over the sea. They follow us until v/e come to some islands.Then they leave us.

One morning when I awoke in ray,bunk I hear a terrible noise like a heavy rainstorm, but when I look out of the porthole I see that we are travelling through masses of ice which make a loud crunching sound. This large icefield lasts until we have almost reached Gotebourg* There my Uncle meets us with his car.

In Sweden

We have a long and lovely drive of 335 miles from Gotebourg to Stockholm, with beautiful views of lakes, hills, woods and valleys. Once we get out to walk on the frozen Baltic Sea. At last v/e arrive and drive over a very long bridge into the city about 8.30 p.m. We cannot see much that night becaus of the fog, but next morning when I wake up I see outside a fine1 lake, with shady trees, and lots of wooden houses.* Just opposite us is the island of Skansen, where there is a zoo,

3«

Our house stands, in a frozen sea. for Stockholm, like Venice, is built on the water. Once v/e see an ice yacht in full sail over the frozen lakes.

One Sunday we so for a long drive, taking our lunch and tea with us. Through the forest the road is very bad because of the *tjalskada* - a Swedish word for the big holes made by the frost coming up out of the ground when the roads begin to thaw. On the v/ay we visit Upsala, the famous University city. There we see the Cathedral, with its fine bronzes, and then the Library and Museum, where there are many wonderful books as old as Doomsday. These are beautifully v/ritten and illustrated by hand. \7'e also see some very old letters - some with very curious drawings in them - written to various princes of the olden days. V»re walk all round the castle, which stands on a hill with a grand view over the town and river. The river has a big weir, over which massive blocks of ice come tumbling.

Another day we visit a place called Ny.i- ashamn, where there are fine high rocks, with trees only a few feet from the sea. Here they have gigantic barns where the cattle live all through the v/inter because it is too cold for them to stay outside. These barns are sometimes two or three storeys high, with roads leading to the top storey for the hay wagon3 to go up.

At last the big thaw comes. One morning X woke up and look out of my bedroom window to see a large tug breaking up the ice, and that very same day about lunch time there is not a bit of ice left.

Homeward Bound - April 28th.

Now we are on our way home. 17e comeby electric train from Stockholm toGothenbourg - all the express trains are electric'. ¥hen we reach Gothenbourg, we have four hours in which to explore the town. Fe come back along the docks; and. see all the big ships loading and unloading. After starting we find the North Sea very rough all the way home* until we have almost reached Tilbury - so I only manage to have two games of deck quoits with some Swedes on board*At last we arrive home, after having had avery pleasant and novel holiday.

THE NIGHT I REMEMBERED

One day my friend invited me to sleep a nigh£ at the. '’Elizabethan House* at the Barbican. I agreed and drove up in my car, parked it at the garage, and finding I had not much petrol, bought ten gallons because I was motoring up to London the next morning.

I slept well and was awakened at six o'clock by my alarm clock; I got up and dressed. As the light was very dim I lit a candle and got into my car. The roads were always bad here so I drove towards Mumfords’ Garage v/here I should have met a good road, but instead there were just cobbles. I drove on until I came out into the country. The sun had risen and I turned ofi the head—lights.

The roads were, just dirty tracks-, I could not make it out at all. I jolted on for about three miles when I -saw a procession of brightly clothed men. I thought it .was a film rehearsal, and I stopped and asked my way to Bristol but to my amaaement they all ran away shouting "YoiksJ'1

I drove on wondering what was wrorig with them until I came to Newton Abbot.

Crowds of people flocked around so that I could hot move either way. I ’beeped’ my horn loudly, and they were all gone in a second. Now I realised at last what had happened I had somehow been taken back to the sixteenth century!

Ten hours later I got to London: people swarmed about the car.

Then came Queen Elizabeth, amaaed. She spoke with a funny accent, and I expect she thought the same of mine,. I offered her a ride with some of her nobles. I drove away at thirty miles an hour., and the gentlemen drew their swords, trembling all over, and the Queen screamed. Only when I went at seven miles an hour were they satisfied. Soon my petrol ran out. I had completely forgotten that I would never find petrol here. At last the car stopped, and eventually the Queen ordered it to be put in the London Museum. I soon acquired the reputation of being a famour scholar.I made maps of the world, showed how to obtain electricity from water, Chartered the Thames and wrote, books. I was made Duke of Devon and Cornwall and was given thousands of pounds worth of gold and silver. People regarded me as if I were a man from the stars; they even hung flowers about my neckI

FUN AT THE SEASIDE

One morning my mother said, " I f it keeps fine v/e will go- to the seaside. ¥e will go by car to 3ude. It is about thirty miles from here".

The sun was shining when we set off. in the afternoon. We chose a good place for our clothes, then undressed, and v/ent for a bathe.

My mother thought the water was cold, but I ran right in and did not notice it. After we had been splashing about in the v/aves for ten minutes we went to the bathing pool to dive4 The diving board was about ten feet above the water. First I dived. It:V/as a bit of a .'flop* because it stung but my next one was a more successful attempt.

When v/e got back to oar clothes v/eplayed about on thersand and smotheredourselves in it. '-‘•'hen we went to a pool, to wash it off.

The time had gone amazingly quickly for it was five o'clock. We dressed and had tea, got into the car and drove back home. There supper had been laid, so we ateit and then went to bed.

THE. KNIGHT

In Milan steel all cladv&s he,A finer figure I ne’er did see.Between his legs was a big Black mare.As strong as a wolf* as swift as a hare.

At his side'a sword was belted on,And at the hilt a - jewel shone,An em’rald from feome Eastern realm,- Another one adorned his helm.

His silver spurs were tipped with steel,His horse did leap beneath their feel.His mailed hand gripped tight the lance,For he was fighting that day for France.

He has led the charge against the foe,With visor down and spear couched low:His helmet glinting in the sun,.Ashe sees the enemy on the run.

The fighting is finished, ..his work is done, The English are conquered, the battle won, When across the field comes this proud

French Knight;He has captured the flag for France and

A WILLIAMS IIIB.

THE COURT MAG- ICIAN

One day, when King Qoke was sliding, down the banisters, because he was very hungry and he thought.it would be quicker sliding down to breakfast than walking down, he heard a lot of noise coming from the palace laboratory.

Forgetting that he *was so hungry, the King hurried towards the laboratory, where he found the .'Court Magician standing in the middle of the. room with a bottle in’ his hand.A lot of shouting was coming from somewhere beside him.

When the Magician-saw the King, he said, "When I got'up this morning and came

downstairs, to have my breakfast the Prime Minister was having his - at least I thought it was his, but I soon found out that it Was mine, when I asked the cook for my breakfast* AS soon kas I discovered that, I came here

and made a mixture which was .meant to stop the Prime Minister eating for a day or two. Instead of that, it made him- invisible and I

’ra|k^ihi^j visible'again"’dntil this evening

After telling the Magician to make the Prime Minister visible again as soon as he possibly could, the- King walked out of the laboratory into the dining room, where his breakfast was waiting for him. After he had finished he again went to sue the Magician who was mixing all kinds of liquids together in a big pot.When the Magician saw the King he said, " I think I will be able to finish this potion before tea if I keep on hurrying as I am at the moment".

Daring the res.t of the morning the King was busy signing all the papers, and writing letters, and doing a lot more things that the Prime Minister usually did. After dinner he v/ent and said to the Magician, "Are you nearly ready? I do not like doing all the Prime Minister’s work". The Magician replied,"I will have the potion ready in five minutes, forty-nine seconds, will you go and find the Prime Minister? So the King walked out and began to look for him* A few minutes later the King suddenly stopped looking for him and said to himself". I am silly iooking for the Prime Minister, because he is invisible and so I won’ t be able to 3ee him. I will have to call him. "The King tried every room except the kitchen.At last he .v/ent into the kitchen andlbund it deserted* There were some jellies on the table and a jar of cream. Suddenly the King saw a spoon going into one of the jellies empty, and coming out full, and he knew at once that he had found the Prime Minister.So he told him to go to the laboratory immediately to be made visible again. The Prime Minister took one last spoonful and then put the spoon on the table, and the

11.

door opened and shut* Half a minute later, the servants who were supposed to be working in the kitchen appeared. Borne had been hiding in cupboards, some behind doors-, and one'under the table. When the ICing_ asked them why they had hidden they said that they had been frightened of the voice that seemed to come from thin air. So he told them that it would be all right now*

Then he walked back to tile 'laboratory where, he saw . the Prime Minister standing beside the Magician. The King .was' 'very thankful that the Magician had been able to make the Prime Minister visible again, but he make up his mind to take good care to see that- they did not eat each other's breakfasts again.

MY RABBIT

I had'a lovely birthday present. It was a rabbit. I named him Peter. He was a Dutch rabbit. He was very frisky. I used to let him out of his hutch to run about the garden. On Sundays he came into the house. He loved thati He sniffed1*all round the table, and if I kei^t still, be used to sniff mo, I taught him tricks. One was to carry a stick round his hutch.

SMUGGLERS

One day in the. summer .my brother'and I went to stay at "a village near the sea, with desolate moors all round. We arrived there in the late afternoon.

The next day we went exploring on the moors, and found quite a lot of holes in the ground, some of which were quite deep. We did not go far as we did not wish to get lost.

That night we were going for a little walls: along the village street, when I accidentally heard a man's voice in one of the houses. This is what I heard him say:"We will run a cargo next Thursday night at Dark Rock11. Whon we heard this we were greatly surprised.

On arriving home we went to bed and dis­cussed it before we dropped off to sleep.Next day it was market day in the nearest town, so we went there. While we were there we went to the nearest police station and told the sergeant on duty our story and he took down some notes. He then telephoned his chief who motored down to the police station, and we told him. He told us to be at the inn whore we were staying on Thursday afternoon, and that he would meet.us there.

We waited eagerly for Thursday to come.At last it arrived. The officer and about ten constables came in a powerful car. We all went into the parlour and he told us his plan of action. At about five o’clock v/e went down to the- beach and rowed out to Dark Rock where v/e hid.

i

The officer told the men what they were to do. We waited until about midnight, when, suddenly, out at sea came three flashes, which were answered from the rock. A boat came gradually in towards it.

When it got there some men heaved out some barrels. Contraband*

Suddenly the officer shouted, "Charge." The men charged. As they did so there came from the sea a rumble of gunfire, and a well- aimed shot hit the boat. The coastguards had arrived! After that there was a complete round up. of all the smugglers. They offered no resistance whatever. '

They were all duly punished with different terms of imprisonment.

TIE ELEPHANT

I am an Elephant and there are lots of people who ride on me.

Y/hen people come to the zoo they like to get onto my broad back and go for a little ride, I expect little children like to rido on my back best. But a few little children do not want to go because they think it too high.

I am fairly big and I am quite fat round the. body.

The man at the zoo who looks after me is called Joe Brown, and he is tall and thin.He*is very, very kind to me.

A DAY ON THE LAND

One morning when I woke up it was six o'clock so I quickly dressed and went downstairs to have a cup of tea, and then went out to do some milking.

11+.

When I had finished I fed the cows and calves with their* hay, and then went in and had breakfast, for I was very hungry*

When I had finished breakfast I went out and started up the tractor and took up the milk* As I v/ent past a big house, a friend of mine who lives there, came out to join'

.me and we went into the fields.t

We arrived at our destination, unhitched the trailer, and started ploughing. '.Then we had finished we had dinner in the field, after which v/e cleaned the harrow, for next time we worked on this field v/e would be harrowing it.

Then v/e ploughed another field and then went home, dropping ray friend at his house on the v/ay. At four o’ clock in the afternoon I whistled for the dog, and fetched the cows.

When I had milked four out of the fourteenI fed all the animals, and had tea at six o’ clock*

In the evening I changed the oil in the tractor, and then v/ent with the boy who works for us to get some petrol and Tractor ventilating oil, v/hich is used for mixing v/ith the petrol, and some lubricating oil.

Then when I had filled the tractor with petrol, I had supper and went to bed, and got to sleep at nine o'clock. I v/oke up at eleven o'clock to find our cat,Tiger on ray bed.

I am only a police-constable, but I have had many small adventures.. I am stationed at Tavistock.

One day the Chief Constable received a telegram'asking him to take a car and try to trace a Borstal bo2̂ who had escaped from Dartmoor prison.

The Chief Constable* myself, and throe others jumped into a car and drove off. It was a terrible day with snow. Some drifts towards Princetown were said to be several t feet deep. V/e had chains on our wheels.

After several miles we met another policf car, and the sergeant told us that the . escaped -youth was about one mile away from us He also said that ho, the sergeant, was . going to fetch bloodhounds and more'reinforce­ments, as it was known that the boy was armed

vHaving thanked him we drove off again.

Presently .we notiped a, running figure who had just Grossed the road. We jumped out and chased him. We did not then know that he was the escaped youth, but our suspicions'were soon found to be correct, because one of the police constable*3 notice the prison uniform and said.

9"It is that kid. Look out, he’ s

turning to the left". ,

The chase went on. We were satisfied that we wore gaining and I gradually drew ahead of the others. 'Then drawing ray truncheon, I flung myself at the boy.

We both fell to the ground. The boy was trying to get his arms free to fir'e the pistol. But keeping a tight grip of them,

23.

I suddenly brought ray knee up and hit him in the stomach. This daaed him.and then I knocked him right out with ray fist*

I then picked up ray truncheon, and, lifting the body of the boy, started back to where the car had been left. Before long I met the others and.they helped me to take- him back to the car. Soon the fugitive was back in the prison once more.

SATURDAY NICrHT

One Saturday evening, at about six o’clock, ay faher asked me if I should like to go fishing on the river Tamar. To this suggestion, I immediately answered "Yes".

When all the ’fishing tackle had been put into the car my mother brought out some sandwiches, which she. had made.

Whilst on the road* my father said,"I think we will go to a quay.near St. Dominic* because I know a man there who will lend us a boat".

On arriving at the Q.uay, we got out, and found the boatman, who said he would lend us the boat with pleasure. When the tackle had been stowed in the boat, the boatman pushed us off, telling us to bo careful of the mud banks at low tide. 3y the time we had rowed about a mile down stream, it was a quarter to nine, and the sun was sinking behind the hills.

As v/e put out oUr lines my father remarked that it should be a good night for salmon. As we sat with our rods out over the side of the boat, my father began to tell a story.

"Once, in the nineteenth century, a rich lady who lived in a mansion, not far from this quay, died, and was buried in the churchyard, with all her rings on her fingers. When her brother heard of his sister's death, he hastened to the mansion* and in the night he dug up his sister's body in order-to take the rings from her fingers. When he found that he could not move them, he cut her fingers off, re-placed the body in the grave, shovelled on the soil and departed. When he had gone his sister rose out of her grave, and ran from the churchyard to her big country house, with blood streaming from the stumps of her fingers.

As we were admiring the fish, it started to rain, and wc decided to return to the quay. On arriving there we found the boatman.awaiting us. As he pulled us in,I noticed that his face was. as white as a sheet. I asked him what was the matter. He said, "My son has just seen the ghost with the bleeding fingers 1"

A DAY BY THU SSA8ID3

I woke up in the morning to find the sun streaming in through ray window. I glanced at the clock on the dressing table. The time was a quarter to seven, so I washed, dressed and walked down the stairs into the dining room.

My mother was not up, so I laid the table and cooked' the sausages. By the time I had done that all the family were down­stairs and we had breakfast.

We finished quite early and then I had nothing to do, so I went to my mother to ask her if she had anything to suggest.

It was such a hot day that she said that we might go down to the seaside.

I packed the car with rugs and a large tin which contained our food.

The car was quite large so that we could fit in without a squeeze.

When we reached the beach we could see hardly anything but sunshades and sand. The tide was a long.way down the beach, so we parked the car on the sand.

On our scrarablings over the rocks we saw many insects and plants which interested us as we lived quite along way from the beach. It was late when we were returning home. I went to bed at seven, o’clock after listening to ’Dick Barton, Special Agent.

I was so tired that I flopped down asleep the moment I got between the sheets.

My Kama , is Colonel Gruff, of the Royal Toy town Fusiliers. One day v.'hen I was winding up the clockwork mouse, I heard the alarm hell. I rushed up the stairs to the barracks to find my hat, hut couldn’t see it anywhere, so I scratched my head and a hit of red paint came off. Then I remembered that I had been polishing the brass button on my hat that morning. So I went to get it, but when I arrived there I found my hat had fallen into' the pot of Brasso, so I emptied .the Brasso into my hat and put the tin on my head.

When I reached the parade ground I found all the guards looking at their toy watches, and there on the ground lay Humpty Dumpty, the King's minister. He had fallen off the wall where he had been eating his ration of sweets, ’’Why don’ t you help him up ?" I roared, " .fe were waiting for the Command, Sir, said Private Popcorn. ''Run and get all the glue you can find", I ordered Bugler Bogus, "the rest cut off your plumes and use them as glue brushes".

Soon back came Bogus, and with him the toy town taxi. In it was sin enormous pot of what we thought was. glue. Soon we had Humpty Dumpty stuck together. Just as we had finished we heard loud shouts coming . from the room, where the King was having breakfast. We rushed upstairs to assist, but when we arrived.we found the King in a terrible rage, and he ordered us out of the palace.

After quite a lot of arguing we found out that Bugler Bogus had bought the Paste- from T. Turnip Company Limited,, the Toytown Grocers. But as he was coming back, he had

seen a lump of sugar in the castle larder, so he had climbed in through the window to get it. He must have come out again with the wrong tin. So we had stuck Humpty Dumpty together with treacle, and the king had eaten the Paste.’

SKANSEN'* ' •

Skansen is a" little island opposite Stockholm, It has a zoo on it.

One day we visited it and saw the animals. The creatures that I liked best were the baby Polar bears.

They were with their mother in a separate den from all the rest. They had a big tree to climb and some swings and some water to swim in.

Next to the bears was the Otter, a jolly little fellow, diving and swimming about. He had an attractive.place to swim in, I think he had the best place of all.

Next came the brown bears which have just had two new cubs. They are beautiful little things rolling over and over in the sun and enjoying.themselves immensely.

Then we saw the other Polar bears which I mentioned before - They have lovely rocks and water to do what they like in.One of them was in the water having a. bathe. He got put aftqr a bit and shook himself and made signs as if he was not going in again. But he did.’ He made a sudden dash and dived straight in.

After that we went to see all the birds. The Storks were free and flying about„ They had big nests .high up in the trees.

The owls were not free, they were shut in. 7,very time I saw them they ^ere always in tho same place as before.

There were many other animals in this Swedish ^oo.which I have not time to mention.

* -

After we had seen all the animals we went up a tower in the middle of the zoo.When we reached the top we"had a lovely view of Stockholm and its town hall.

When we came down again we saw some pretty old Swedish farms.They were model farms,, showing the various points of contrast with the old-fashionedones.

A

After we had finished our round we went back over the«bridge into Stockholm, having enjoyed a vety pleasant time.

MAY

It i 3 May, but the weather is bad and it is raining hard. The trees are lovely colours. There are yellow trees, green trees, and some nice brown trees. The men have ploughed the fields and the corn will soon start-to grow. There are a nice lot of daffodils and tulips and lots of other flowers. The little birds have come back, again and they have begun to sing. In the early morning.the rooks and crows make their screeching noise.

THU HOLLO vV OAKIt was a boiling hot day in the summer

of 1647. I was going for a walk in Ley '/food, part of my father’ s estate. My father, Sir John Wise, was a staunch Cavalier, and was at that time, in a party of Cavaliers, headed by Sir Thomas Strickland.

Soon I came to a little stream, where I stopped and sat down on the ground to watch the water rolling over the pebbles, occasion­ally moving them. I was sitting under an old, hollow oak, that not many people knew was hollow.

It must have been about ten minutes later, that I was suddenly awakened from my dreams by the clattering of horse's hooves behind the oak. Before me, just climbing out of the saddle, was a richly dressed man. Before I could open my mouth to speak, he said to me, "Who are you?" I told him that I was Peter Wise, the son of Sir John Wise. Then he said "Good. Do you know anywhere to hide me? Be quick, for I am being chased by Roundheads.' " I thought for a moment, then I suddenly remembered the old oak, so I said, "Yes, this oalc it is hollow, so you can go inside it, but what about your horse?" "Oh, that’ s all right," he said, "You wait. 'Beauty', offI " and at that the big black charger cantered off between the trees. I helped the Cavalier up into the tree, and he soon disappeared from sight.

As soon as he was in the tree, a party of Roundheads came in view. The leader came up to me, and asked me roughly if I had seen a Cavalier go past, and if I had, where he had gone. I said I had, and that he had gone past without a word to me. Then the Roundheads moved on.

31.

As soon as they were out of sight the Cavalier came out of the tree, whistled his horse hack, and rode off in the opposite direction to the Roundheads, after thanking me for my help. That was the last I ever saw of him. Then I went home again, hut I did not tell anyone of my meeting with the Cavalier.

T</0 INTHRVIITJS WITH A SHALLOW

"Are you a swallow?" I asked a hird once, "Of course I am", it replied. "I was horn in Africa., ten weeks ago and I return in another week".

"Where are your parents"? I asked,"Oh, they.' I think my father died in the deaer t and my mother fell in the sea. They were horrid to me. They pretended to he nice to me, and fed me, then threw us out of our house. I had five brothers hut I lost them on the way here. I hope I will find them. I am heing married to-morrow to a very pretty bird, with red beak-stick and beautiful, eye-lashes. I had a big fight for her against four common sparrows.

"I like it much better in Africa than here because it does not rain so often.When we came here we hardly stopped at all on the way; we caught flies and only paused for a short sleep on a ship’ s mast. We even caught rain-drops. I have made a house for my wife and myself out of thick oozy mud stuck to a rafter. I am eating quite a lot now after my journey. Some .rough boys broke my first house with stones, but now I drop stones on them. Goodbye,"

I am a reporter on a nature magazine, and once I was sent to interview a swallow.

I found one nesting in an old barn between a beam and the roof. I said to him, "HalloJ I'm a reporter and I have been sent to ask you a few questions. First, why do you fly lower wh$n its going to rain

. He replied, "Well I fly lower because all the insects fly lovaer then. I don’t know why but they always iio. "

"Then, why do you prefer barns and other farmyard buildings for resting in"?

"Well, there are two reasons for that. One is that it is easy to rest in them, another is that there are usually a lot of small bits of hay and straw strewn on the floor, so it ’ s easy to find materials for building." "Why do you always come to the same place every year ?"<,

"Because we get used to it and know where to find food".

"Do you find it a very long journey to Africa ?"•

"Yes rather, but we stop at quite a lot of places on the way. Still it is a long flight over the Mediterranean Sea".

"Is there a great difference in the food ?"

"Yes, but we swallows can eat any insects.".

In tlie Spring term, Mrs. 'Afedd said that the Juniors could huild houses in the woods. So Owen collected a number of people to help him build his house.

On Monday, March 34th, Major Blake very kindly came and gave us a lecture on the British Colonies in the Mediterranean.

To begin with he told us how each became part of the British Inpire and then he showed us some slides on the epidiascope . First he showed us some of the Rock of Gibraltar from different positions. He also showed some pictures of the apes, the rain­water resevoirs, and the ramps up the hill­side .

Then he moved on to Malta and we saw some lovely pictures of the temples of the Knights of St. John. There was also a picture of terraced fields.

The last pictures were of Cyprus, and we „ were shown the difference in the old and the

new methods of grape-squashing.

Before he left, the lecturer gave us the opportunity of asking him some questions.

THE PLAYS

The plays this year were very good.The dress rehearsal was on Wednesday 19th of March, while the actual performances were on the Friday and Saturday.

The first play was called "Christmas Lve", hy IVA. There was no speaking, hut there was plenty of noise. The scene was a "bedroom; in the bed were two boys, WhelanII, and James II. Mungall, the nursemaid, came to tuck them up. After much snoring, Santa Claus (Harvey I ) , came down the chimney and delivered his parcel, a train. Then he went away.

, Presently two burglars, Denny and . Bartholemew, climed through the window and seized the train, and started to play with it. Amid the combined noise of police and parents the two boys managed to reach the table and, winding up the engine, placed it upon the rails. But as the engine did not work, all the actors burst out laughing - which heralded the fall of the curtain.

"Alison's Lad" followed. The period is that of the close of the Second Civil War, autumn 161-8, and the action takes place at midnight in the upper chambers of the village inn of Faringford, in the western midlands.

The curtain rises on five Cavalier prisoners. They are the party's leader, Colonel Sir 'William Strickland (Palmer), who is badly wounded, his friend, Captin George Bowyer (Berlyn), Lieutenant Robert Goring ( Wilson), Francis Horjton (Peecock), and I'om Winwocd (Crowley). The three last named are dicing at a table.

35.

The crisis arrives when the Roundhead, Colonel John Drummond (Ching I . ) enters, and announces that, as three of those present are guilty of having broken their paroles not to take up arms again after the First Civil War, he proposes to shoot one of them, the choice to be made by a cast of the dice.

The lot falls on the youngest, Winwood. This alarms his comrades as he has' already shown signs of bearing a strong resemblance to his father, who - unknown to him - fell, mortally wounded in the back at Bdgehill. However, the boy dies bravely, in the end, his courage strengthened by Strickland, who himself falls dead as the sound of the volley is heard from the courtyard.

B.R.B.

The third play was "One Good Turn" acted by some of VA. and Remove. There were three acts. The scene was the interior of the Blue Boar. It was about a highwayman, (Cooper). He volunteered to fetch a surgeon, (James I . ) to attend a wounded stranger, (Berry). In the absence of the highwayman the landlord, (Shaw) looked after the stranger. On the return of the highwayman and the surgeon, the former was siezed by the Bow - street runners (Whelan I. and Roberts). When he had been hound and placed near the stranger the Runners went out. Then Berry, picked up a carving knife, and cut the highwayman’ s bonds. Having rid himself of the Runners. Cooper made his escape.This play was very much enjoyed.

The last play was called "Ueni Vide Vestave". It was about a. monastery, in which a robber, played by Clotworthy, had been hidden. The Redesdale men were hunting for him but he escaped with some monastic treasure.

36.

To end the show there was - a sing-song hy the "Screech-owls", which was much enjoyed.

The boys kicked off at 2 ,45 'p,m, .For the first few minutes the play was in the Staff's half. A goal was nearly scored by Crowley and after that the Staff began to attack.

Clouds which had come over began to disperse and the wind became much stronger. The play was now even until Mr. Reilly scored the first goal. Soon Tyler I I „ scared an equaliser and the half-time Whistle went.

After this Mr. Reilly again scored.Then after a scrummage in the goal-mouth, Cooper shot and scored for the boys, Berlyn saved another goal and soon after that the Whistle went for full time. The final score was 2 - 2,

BOXING NOTBS

This year's 90°' produced some keen contests. It was noticeable that some of the best boxers at instructional classes were so over-keen that they forgot the finer points and became wild in their punching.

A word of praise is due to Trowbridge I. for a plucky display, and to Tyler I. for withstanding a barrage of heavy left swings from Cross.

The Senior Cup was won by James I, wihtout opposition. The contest between Wilson and Winzer for the Junior Cup was the best in the session. Winze'r, although, attacking, found • 7/i Is on in his best form, and the latter's countering made him a winner by a clear margin.

Colours were gained by Tyler I,Tyler II, Cross, and Morris.

The results in the theory test paper were very good, although they contained some really first class 'howlers; such as the following :-

Q. What should youdo first when you leave your corner?

A. Stick out my right foot.

Q. How do you feint ?

A. Go hot and bothered: go dizzy: get concussion.

Q,. What should you do when your opponent is knocked down ?

A. Pick him up.

We started the season with only one colour and practically no one from last year's first game let alone first eleven.The first match was a depressing affair with no visible batsmen,, bowlers 'or fielders.Since then, however, the general improvement has been amazing; both in the first XI and in the junior games, and teams for the next year or two should have plenty of competition for places.

Ching I developed into a really good captain and a fair bat and wicket-keeper. Berry, Payne and Jerram were three useful bowlers and all should get a lot of wickets next year. Bartholomew, James, Crowley, Striblinoand Attfield have all got wickets in set matches. The batting is still weak, as with all young sides, but many are learn­ing to play with a straight bat and the power to drive the over-pitched ball will come. In fielding, the catching was rather weak but the side was keen and, above all, it looked alert.*e|lm:- CHING I (Capt.), BERRY, JERRAM,PAYNE I, C r o w l e y , Bartholomew, Stribling, with Tyler II, Cooper, Morris, Peecock, Wilson, Gillies I, James I and Attfield
