On November 11th, the Armistice Day Service was held at 10:45 in the Front Hall. The Headmaster took the Service which was attended by all the boys and members of the staff. Capt. Harvey's last letter written to the boys in 1914 was read as well as the names of those who lost their lives in the two Wars. Following the usual prayers and intercessions, the School Wreath was laid on the Honour Roll by Hodgkinson. The Service closed at 11:00 with the sounding of the Last Post by the trumpeters of the Cadet Corps Band after which the boys paid their respects before the Honour Roll, leaving by the front door. q The Spirit has finally gone into dignified retirement after many years of faithful service and, with a quizzical eye, watches a visiting tractor tow the cherubim round the field. The driveway in front of the School buildings has been greatly improved by the addition of kerbs which add to the neatness of the approach. Further additions are being made. As usual, Mr. Beaumont kindly offered the School a picnic on his launch. Our thanks are due to him: the fact that the weather prevented the picnic in no Way lessens our gratitude to this good friend. Boys of the upper forms were lucky in having the oppor- tunity of seeing Macbeth, performed at the Royal Victoria by Donald Wolfitt's London Company. Such treats come all too seldom. They also attended a performance of Amateur Dra- matics in which several Old Boys took part at the Normal School. We tender our thanks to the Signals Officer, H.M.C.S. Naden, who kindly lent us a large number of flags and pen- nants with which the Gymnasium was decorated on Sports Day and Speech Day. The School enjoyed a welcome Half-Holiday on the oc- casion of the wedding of T. H. The Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. We extend our best wishes to Commodore W. B. Creery, C.B.E., R.C.N. 41910-19145, who is leaving his command at H.M.C.S. Royal Roads to take up an appointment at Ottawa. We shall miss his frequent visits to the School. The Governors have appointed Mr. J. J. Timmis, M.A. COxonD Headmaster. 9
