THE PROPOSED M EMORIAL The Governors of the School have decided that the outstanding service and sacrifice made by the Old Boys of the School in both wars should be recognized by a suitable building, either in the form of a Memorial Assembly Hall in the main School House or a school Chapel. The Old Boys Association has heartily endorsed the proposal, and in the near future an appeal in the form of a circular letter will be sent to parents, Old Boys and friends of the School wherever they may be. It is felt that the erection of such a memorial will not only be a constant reminder of outstanding service, but an acquisition which will be an inspiration to future generations of boys. P The building will not be erected, of course, until after the war, but a trust fund is now being opened for this purpose. Any contributions, large or small, will be gratefully received. Cheques should be made out to the Headmaster who will personally under' take prompt acknowledgement. It is hoped that any who may not receive a personal letter will accept this notification that the fund is now open.
