He entered the Junior School, September, 1930, and came into the Senior School last September. He won his Cricket and Football colours at the Junior School. A boy of sterling character, of much promise, and greatly beloved, he is deeply mourned, and our hearts go out in sympathy with all his relations.

The excep- tionally mild weather has enabled all of us to be out of doors more than usual, and up to the end of November we could congratulate ourselves on having escaped with a minimum of trouble due to illness and injury. But the sudden death of John Gibson cast a shadow over the life of the whole School. A short obituary appears elsewhere. The football season has been very disappointing. The first team felt the loss of Mr. Ogle greatly during the early part of the term. The captain, F. E. Wigle, deserves great credit for the energy and ability with which he coached Bigside without any outside assis- tance, until the arrival of Mr. Britton. It was only in the last match of the season, against our old rivals. Ridley, that we had the satis- faction of seeing the team show their real ability. A debating society has been formed by Mr. Evans and has already held several successful meetings. It has filled a serious gap in the School activities and has our good wishes for its future success. The three societies founded last year have continued this term to provide amusement for some of us in our spare time. When we came back in September we were pleasantly surprised to hear of Mr. Lewis' marriage to Miss Gertrude Petry who has been connected with the School for many years. Two other of our masters, Mr. Evans and Mr. Morse, were married during the summer. We take this opportunity of wishing them well for the future. At the end of last wear, Mr. Ogle, Mr. Gordon, and Mr. Coates left us. Mr. Ogle is a professor at the Royal Military College, Kingston, Mr. Gordon has gone to Australia: and Mr. Coates is a master at Marlborough College in England. VVe welcome to the staff of the School Mr. R. L. du Domaine, Mr. D. K. Parr, and Lieut. Col. K. L. Stevenson who is back again with us after an absence of two terms.

Five or more :horus songs were learned and sung on each occasion, while the Glee Club sang some sea shanties from the Gallery with good effect.

VVorks by Haydn, Brahms, and Schubert were played. About thirty boys attended the lecture given by Mr. Sly preparatory to the concert. A School concert was given at which Mr. Ketchum and McClos- key gave an excellent performance of the Purcell Golden Sonata, followed by a Schubert Sonatina with Mr. Hiscocks at the piano. We take this opportunity of thanking all those who have contribu- ted to our musical entertainment. The Choir has many new members, from both Senior and Junior Schools, and is preparing for the Carol Service at the end of term. Congregational singing practices each Sunday have resulted in 3 general improvement of the singing by the School of both hymns and psalms. SCHOOL NOTES S. H. Ambrose is Head Prefect. L.
