FOREWCDRD When The T939 Criss Cross was TirsT conTem- plaTed early This year, The ediTors were Taced wiTh a sharply curTailed budgeT. The problem was To presenT a year boolc which was worThy oT The name born by iTs predecessors, buT which could be broughT TorTh wiTh The limiTed Tunds on hand. An aTTempT has been made To lessen The cosT, noT by sacriTicing excellence in any deparTmenT, buT by re- moving excess subiecT maTTer. The resulT oT our endeavors awaiTs you in The ensuing pages. We realize ThaT we have leTT ouT many Things which previous year boolcs have in- cluded and ThaT our volume is a raTher Thin one.

E Think ThaT mosT people will agree ThaT The SixTh Form has Turned in an excellenT iob oT running The school. Wifh The absence oT Mr. Pell, Their iob was a much Tougher assignmenT Than usually conTronTs The governing Sixies. There are mulTiTudinous piTTalls inTo which a SixTh Form can Tumble, and The reason ThaT all of These were skillTully avoided is ThaT behind The Throne was lvlr. l-luTTon. Mr. l-luTTon has been Form advisor Tor The presenT SixTh Form Tor Two years, and Through his keen and careTul analysis oT diTTiculT siTuaTions, They have become one oT The besT and mosT eTTicienT SixTh Forms in The hisTory oT The school. All oT The crediT is due him, and alThough he'Il deny iT, he was The backbone oT The whole governing sysTem. AT many Times during The year when a breakdown seemed ineviTable, he was The one who puT The props under The sagging sTrucTure and resTored iT To iTs Tormer sTaTe. Because This book conTains The record oT The deparTing SixTh Form, we Teel ThaT iT is only righT ThaT The genTleman responsible Tor The greaT success oT The Torm should geT crediT Tor iT. Thereicore, This space, small as iT is, is dedicaTed To Mr. l-lamilTon M. l-luTTon, who has The hearTiesT Thanks oT The SixTh Form. 6
