Mercer IN- EFFICIENCY CUP Our heartiest congratulations are extended to Derek Brooks who, in June, won the coveted Efficiency Cup for the sixth time, a record unparalleled in the school ' s history. This cup, the most cherished in the school, is won by the vote of the staff, who take into consideration a number of factors which include qualities of leadership, sense of responsi- bility, and popularity. Previously the cup had been won four times by both R. J. Mellin (1919-21) and J. H. R. Larson (1927-29). Two had won it three times:— A. B. Ripley (1926-27) and E. R. Larsen (1942-43). That Brooks has had his name inscribed on it six times is a notable accomplishment and a record which successors will find hard to equal. Page Eight

As usual, the observance coincided with the Half-Term week-end, with a number of parents and friends being present. A most impressive feature of the services was the sounding of the Last Post and Reveille by the buglers of the Sea Cadet band at the beginning and close of the Silence. On the evening of 12th December, the last Sunday before Christmas break-up, a special Carol Service took the place of the regular Evensong. The Chapel was most effectively lighted with numerous candles and the choir, under Mr. Galliford, the choir- Pa ge Ten
