FOR THF SCHOOI, YEAR 1932-1933 M Y HOUSE I lt had always been my dream to own a little thatched cottage in a lovely garden in Devon. l had my mind on a little place near Tiverton and one day it seemed that my dream would come true, as I had just received a letter to say I had been left a legacy by an aunt. I immediately purchased the ground and built an eight-roomed cottage with a thatched roof. A winding gravel road leads to the cottage and a little fiagged stone path runs right through the garden to a small brook which l dammed up to make a waterfall. Minnows play in the brook, and there are water-lilies in a pool farther up. The house has climbing roses and vines which help to bring out the beauty of the scene. An oak door leads into a large hall, with a fireplace, off which are a sitting-room and a dining-room. The sitting-room is panelled in oak with a huge stone fireplace. Two sofas and three easy chairs, together with book-cases and lamps, help to furnish this much- used room. .-X bay window overlooks the garden and, when the windows are open -- they generally are f-, the perfume of the roses floats into the room. The dining-room is much the same as the sitting-room. There is an oaken table, and eight chairs. A huge fireplace at one end is a most welcome feature in the winter time. :X china cupboard filled with fine china and a sideboard are the only other pieces of furniture in the room. There is a long window seat in front of the casement windows. The kitchen and domestic quarters are in the rear. Oak stairs lead to the three bedrooms with bathrooms and my study. A flower and kitchen gardens are in the making, and l hope to grow peaches and other fruits for my table. Meanwhile a hammock slung between two shady trees and a good book are among my chief delights. BTV, Hurcnisox, Form IV-.-X. 'THE Nlirsoxic .1.'i rR1Bt 1'Es: 1. Self reliance 2. Power of initiative 3.

J THF FATHIQRS' MATCH, 1933 This match, which now seems to have become an annual institution, was played on the School Rink on January 25th, and was an unqualified success, the final score being ten goals to ten. The game was described in the Gazette of the following day. The reporter was kind enough to say that, for the School, all played well, and the boys deserved the rounds of applause which they received from the large number of parent-spectators who witnessed the match. He went on to say that the fathers proved to be a source of anxiety to the mothers, who were their only supporters, as it locked at times as if it would be necessary to call for stretchers, owing to the fathers' lack of condition l This was not quite accurate, however, as we frequently observed from the glllery that the mothers cheered the boys, while the sisters were mostly Father fans , which is as it should be l I 131
