SPEECH DAY Speech Day, on June Qnd., was particularly noteworthy in that for the first time in the Schoolls history the Guest of Honour was a citizen of the United States. It seems incredible that such an omission could have lasted so long, and it was important. therefore, that the first occasion to break the ice should be a success. In Canon Yaryan of San Francisco we had the right rnan in the right place. A prominent man in his chosen profession - he is Executive Director of the Diocese of California- blessed with a tremendous sense of humour, himself a parent of a senior boy and a loyal supporter of the School, he was, indeed, a fortunate choice, and we were most happy that he agreed to come. This was still more kind in that only a few weeks previously he had flown up from San Francisco to take part in the Service of Dedication of the School Chapel. Wlith his warm spirit and spontaneity he very quickly had the audience with him, so that the discomfort of the Assembly Hall into which everyone had to be packed, since the shocking weather made an outdoor address impossible, was quickly forgotten and, instead, what could have been an ordeal to endure was a pleasure to enjoy. The proceedings followed their customary course, that is, the Head- master's Report was followed by the presentation of prizes by Canon Yaryan, who then gave his address, for which he was ably thanked by the Head Prefect, David Angus. The Chairman of the Board of Governors, Brigadier Cabeldu, seconded the vote of thanks, and the proceedings closed with The Queenw. Despite the weather it had been a great and successful occasion. H.
