We are glad to be able to record a healthy increase in our numf bers. Moreover the new boys who joined us this year are an excellent type physically and mentally. We appreciate the efforts they have made to fit in with the customs and traditions of the School. This process of fitting in has not always been an easy one with which to cope and we are not unmindful of the sympathetic efforts of Masters, Prefects and Boys to help these new boys to be' come boys of University School in a very real sense. As heretofore, we have tried successfully to approach all our difficulties and problems with enthusiasm and in all our activities, both in School and out, we have stressed this aspect and have made it the keyfnote of all we have undertaken.

We have all missed him tremendously but we have hopes that he may be able to join us again before long. xmas , We extend a hearty welcome to Mr. J. K. Trecarten, BA., LLB., who joined us in january to take up the work relinquished by Mr. Howden. We are very grateful to Mr. Trecarten for his assistance in many fields of endeavour. Pk Pk Pls Pk Congratulations to Field who was unanimously elected Captain of Rugby this year and to jeanneret and Smith on their election as Captain and VicefCaptain respectively, of Cricket. wk Pk Pk PIC The complete accounts of Boxing and Cym competitions are pubf lished elsewhere. Both were enjoyable functions for the success of which Mr. Massy, Mr. McKinnon, and Mr. Cox deserve the highest praise. Pk Pk Pk Pk The new strip of ground which has been added to the playing' fields from McCrae Ave. is completed. Masters and boys Qto say nothing of the truckj under the Headmaster's supervision and with his assistance, have had a very real part in the accomplishment. We congratulate ourselves on its completion. :Is 214 Pk is Despite the prevailing epidemics of measles, chickenfpox and inf fluenza this winter, no boarder in the School succumbed to any of these ailments. This is due, in no small degree, to the untiring efforts of the Matron, seconded by the effectiveness of Chong and probably to the compulsory gargling parades. wk vs :ie wk Congratulations to Massy and Huff on their wellfrnerited ap' pointments as Prefects. :if as ac wk The School grounds are now completely enclosed by a fence of considerable effectiveness. Barbed wire was not spared in its conf struction and it is hoped that the days when horses appeared on the Cricket Pitch, ducks waddled across the Quad and unauthorized persons tested the mettle of their steeds upon the football field, are gone forever. -6-
