Dr. II. NI. Ewing Presents the Chapman Cup SPEECH DAY The forty-ninth Annual Speech Day was held on June 2, and there was a large assembly of parents and friends in the Memorial Hall. which had been attractively decorated for the occasion. The Headmaster struck an optimistic note in his report. There were now 148 boys in the School-the largest enrolment since the '20s-and great progress was being made. The current year had been a good one from the health point of view. and the Rlatriculation results should be above average a prophecy which has since been fulfilled . The Headmaster then introduced Dr. BI. Ewing. Principal of Victoria College. who presented the prizes. The prize list is given below. but an additional award was made this year in con- nection with the Kei' Cup. The Chapman and Ker Cups are allotted in accordance with a secret ballot on the part of the Staff. and in the case of the latter two candidates had been placed so closely that an extra award for Service,' was made to H. Squire. In the course of his speech Dr. Ewing stressed the advant- ages of Private School training. saying that for boys who will be leaders this is a magnificent type of educationf, Training of this kind was an excellent preparation for University life. and boys should take care that they did not approach their Universities be- fore some state of mental and academic maturity had been reached. 1111 Winslow being absent in England.
