unusually trying year, has contributed in no small way to the effective and smooth running. We wish them luck and we shall follow their achievements in the future with pride and interest. TENNIS The competitions this year have brought to light some promis- ing tennis material in the school. The juniors, especially, have made considerable progress in the game, this being due chiefly to their enthusiasm-they have been practising at every opportunity. Al- though vfe can boast of no stars, we do claim a high average level of proficiency. This year, for the first time, the Robertson Cup was offered for the winner of the singles elimination series, open to boys under fifteen. The two places on the finals were well contested for, and finally captured by Robertson II and Carle I. In the final game of the series played before the school, Carle I defeated Robertson II to take the cup. Robertson II exhibited a superior style, and might have won with a little more care. Carle I showed himself to be a more careful player, though impeded by certain defects of style. In particular he lacks a strong and easy service. The finalists in the open singles were Duke and Leslie, the latter being our perennial champion. Leslie successfully defended his title this year, as was to be expected. Nevertheless, Duke gave him strong opposition all the way. Dukes style is smooth and in- teresting to watch. By employing an underhand back-hook drive, he is able to return a fast ball with a high degree of certainty. Leslie has a service and return drive which is formidable. He has the addi- tional advantage of height. In the open doubles, Duke and Mackay competed with Cup- ples I and Young in the finals. The game was won after a hard fight, by Duke and Mackay. Since a doubles game offers more scope for strategy, this game was the most interesting from the spectators point of view. The play was always competent and in some instances brilliant. Real strategy was often employed, but was not always consistent. Service was powerful, but too often inaccurate. In both service and play, Mackay showed himself the most competent player in the doubles. Colours were awarded to Leslie. RESULTS: JUNIORS - ROBERTSON CUP Carle I beat Robertson II, 7-5, 3-6, 6-1. OPEN SINGLES - BARNACLE CUP Leslie beat Duke, 7-5, 6-1. OPEN DOUBLES Duke and Mackay beat Cupples and Young 6-3, 6-2. 14

All the Masters agreed that both boys were of Ker Cup calibre and equal merit. Both boys came to the School in September 1936. Both have enviable records for scholarship, character, athletics, and leadership. They matriculated with high marks in June 1940, and this year they have taken their Senior Matriculatiozi as well as the Entrance Examinations for the R. C. N. Their work as prefects in the School has been of the best, and their influence in the School during an 13
