[- rouincial C xaminationd The results attained this year by our Grades 11 and 12 in the Departmental Examinations were much better than expected and give cause for optimism for the future. Out of one hundred and eighty-three papers written there were only four failures. Moreover, the graduating class, which had achieved an average of 57.9% in Grade 11, brought their average up this year to 68.3%. Indeed, in spite of losing all cbssroom facilities in the fire of October 2nd, a higher percentage of successful papers than ever before in the school ' s history has been achieved. The teaching staff and boys alike are certainly to be congratulated on the response which they have made to the difficulties resulting from the fire.
