14 There is always a tendency each year to compare the contem- porary band with thovSe of the ' ' good old days — much to the former ' s disparagement, but one might prophesy that the Band ' s performance on Founder ' s Day next month will be fully up to past standards. The side-drummers missed Irvine when he left in December, but he has since attended many practices in his spare time to balance his absence by giving valuable instruction. A tribute to King is deserved. He has arranged bugling prac- tice for recruits out of school and his enthusiasm has done much to encourage the others. We have to thank the officers of 4th Batt. Queen ' s Own Cam- eron Highlanders for obtaming for us a pair of much-needed cym- bals. The constitution of the band is as follows: — Drum-Major, Sgt. Leseur; Bass-Drum, L. Cpl. Pantry; Cymbals, Cadet Wil- liams 3; Side-Drummers L. Cpl. Barnard, Cadets Whitney, Wil- liams 2 and Dicker; Buglars, L. Cpl. King, Cadets Thompson, Motyer 3, Taylor, Peniston 1, Peniston 2, Terceira, Mercer, Shep- pard, Barnes, Conyers 1, Cooper 1, Adderley 1 and Gurr. Athletics The Field and Track Sports were held this year on March 26. The usual standard of performance was again attained and four new records were set. Great credit is due P. N. Spurling, the Captain of Athletics, who worked indefatigably in preparation for Sports Day and yet found time and energy to practice sufficiently to set a new record in the mile and to retain the Senior Point Cup which he won last year. His brother, D. L. Spurling, retained the Junior Point Cup for another year. As in most of our Sports Competitions, the Seniors and Juniors competed for separate House trophies, and especially in this com- petition it can be rated as a definite success. Watlington House won the Senior Shield quite easily, obtaining 75 points whilst their nearest rival, Darrell House, could only muster 45 points. The Junior competition was more keen and Butterfield- House showed that they have some promising material in securing the Shield with 38 points, whilst Watlington House were second with 21 points.

Swimming The Inter-House Swimming competition was held at the Langton Pool at the beginning of last Christmas term. Watlington House were the winners, Darrell House were second and Saltus House third. Whilst all the events were keenly contested, the general stand- ard of performance was a little below that of the previous year, due no doubt to the absence of a qualified coach. Watlington House Relay team swam well in the 150 yards Medley Relay and established the only new record at this meeting. In the B.S.S.A. competition we again did well, securing four groups and fifteen individual events. The results of the annual Inter-House Swimming Sports are as follows: 25 yds Freestyle: (Group A) 1 M. Cox, 2 Mockett, 3 Ambard. Time 19 2 5 sees. 25 yds Freestyle: (Group B) 1 Anfossi I, 2 Hutt I, 3 Burland III. Time, 17 9 10 sees. 50 yds. Freestyle: (Group C) 1 Conyers II, 2 tie between Powell and Adderley.
