o EDITORIAL N July 2nd we broke up for the summer holidays after a most inspiring year of work and play. In games we had a very full share of success, and in school results we had every reason to be gratified. Much of our all- round prosperity was due to our Prefects, and we are very happy in having J. D. Groves back as Head Prefect. In the Lent Term, the weather being kind, we played more football than usual, and the First Eleven developed into a really good team, while the Under 15 team was unbeaten. We secured the Wilson Cup again and also the Duncan Cup ; the latter will make its permanent home here now. Bishop Schofield was kind enough to arrange a date and hold a Confirmation Service in the Church ; thirteen candidates were presented. We have a regular weekly Celebration in the school now, so that every boy has an opportunity of reminding himself of the Bishop ' s very inspiring address. The Concert was held, as usual, in the afternoon. A number of boys were able to go to Victoria to see the All Blacks play, a privilege and a lesson much appreciated. The golf course is being gradually improved and several natural bunkers have been removed with the aid of powder. The new playing field is also beginning to look as if it might be in full use in a year or two, as a good deal of work has been done on it. Friends of the school have made this possible, and the Juniors will be able to play football on it next term. We had a most delightful lantern lecture from the Rev. C. B. Price, on a Tour Round the World, one of the most

interesting we have ever had. Mr. Price was kind enough to stay for the week-end and preach to us on Sunday morning. We also had a very interesting sketch from Mr. Hutchins, whose whistling, bird imitations and cartoons were much en- joyed. Another interesting talk, helped by a moving picture machine, was given by Mr. Wilkinson, of the Forestry Asso- ciation. Our old friend, Capt. F. B. Noble, very kindly piloted Dr. M. J. Rendall up to the school, and for all too short a time we were honoured by hearing words of genuine inspiration from the late headmaster of Winchester — and, to use words of his own, spoken many years ago, a sense of ecstasy and wonder pervaded our own Big School. Our five entrants for Junior Matriculation were all suc- cessful, although Halley and Crisp had to take Latin Authors again. Musgrave received partial standing in Senior Matric- ulation, Biology proving too much for him. Three old Head Boys (one bringing his wife with him) and several other Old Boys came up during the holidays ; we hope they realize what a pleasure it was to see them again. This term the Old Boys ' Match was a great success, 18 Old Boys arriving for lunch and staying until late that even- ing. At the end of the Summer Term we said a sorrowful good- bye to Mr. Hicks, who has for the past four years so loyally and conscientiously done his best for the school. Also to Mr. Skinner, who has written since to say that he is back in Jamaica. Mr. F. J. Stanton, who has had experience of our boys before at Trinity College School, and Mr. G. H. Dowker, have taken their places. Mr. G. B. Benson has left the University School and started on a venture of his own by opening the Ganges Preparatory School on Salt Spring Island. We wish him every success. Sixteen boys left in July and thirty new boys arrived in September, hurriedly we had to arrange another dormitory. Ferguson and Ripley are the two new Prefects. 4
