SFLWYN HOI'SF SCHOOL MAGAZINE THE LIBRARY Twenty new books have been added to the I.ibrary since june, l937. Of these, twelve were contributed by the boys in the bth Form as a parting gift before they left the School last year. This very kind present, consisting of six books by Stephen Leacock, and six by Rider Haggard, has been thoroughly appreciated. D. Stoker and -I. Fetherstonhaugh presented most of the rest. To all these we extend our best thanks. The Library has been patronized as keenly as ever by both Senior and Junior boys. New additions are always most welcome. B. K. T. H. X Pk wk MANY THANKS to the following boys who have been kind enough to send in contributions to this copy of the Magazine. IYe have been almost snowed under with literary eiforts, and wish that space considerations might have allowed us to print more than we have done, this, how- ever, was impossible. In order to recognize the kindness and keenness of these boys we give herewith their names and title of article submitted: J SHIPS, by D. Stoker: Form 2. .-X comprehensive history of ships from earliest times. rITRANSATI.ANTIC F1.IoH'rs, by YY. Strong: Form 5. :X very good detailed resume of the history of Transatlantic flights, but unfortunately rather long for publication. Full marks to Strong for an interesting article. Ski-mo, a poem by G. Hanson: Form 5. This describes the remarkable escape from death by two heroes who go down Hill 70, St. Sauveur, at 95 m.p.h. I yisir 'rHE DEN'I'IS'I', by R. Browne: Form 3. .-Xmusing. The Dentist certainly had his work cut out for him with this patient I Ixpoons ON A R.-xixi' DAY, by P. Kirkegaard: Form l. This tells us how to keep out of mischief by modelling small boats. A very useful hobby. I7lc:H'rlxca roR 'rHE SPANISH CTOVERNMENT, by .-X.D.P. Patterson: Form 3. Rather a blood- thirsty account of an air-fight: full of action: the aviator was lucky to escape with his life. XI.-XCHTINKG, by IB. Wight: Form 3. A description of dinghies, scows, and yawls. 'THE BEs'r TXIONTI-I or THE TIIEAR, by J. Fetherstonhaugh, Form 2, who also submits the WORST MoN1'H or THE YEAR. The writer suggests July and April, respectively, and refutes the idea that April showers bring May flowers g rather do they bring showers of slush and mud from passing motorists I From the junior School, we have received 'IQHE I.1rE or A HORSE, by K. Black, Form C: THE Roms, a poem by J. Boyd, Form B, Ar 'rHE Zoo, by T. Hampson, Form C, SITHH Srokv or A FAi1'HrL'1. Doo, by gl. Russell, Form C, and My SISTER,S PONY, by W. Redpath, Form C, combining both prose and poetry. As most of these boys are only 7 or 8 years old, their efforts were most creditable. Ibl
