The day was a whole holif day: but in the morning all Boys and Masters attended a brief ser' vice in the Quad, under the Flagfpole, from which the Union jack was flown. The Rev N. E. Smith, Rector of St. Barnabas, and father of one of the boys gave us a most inspiring address. The ceremony closed with the singing of the National Anthem and three cheers for Their Majesties. Pk wk wk els The School extends a hearty welcome to Mr. P. F. Howden, an old Master, who spent the years 1925729 at University School.
