EDITORIAL.

    The annual Dramatic Production is becoming a normal feature of the Spring Term, and this year the success of the two previous performances was repeated; in fact many considered "Twelfth Night" to be the Dramatic Society's best effort so far. Another opportunity for general co-operation was afforded by the School Concert, given later in the term by the Junior Dramatic Society and the School Choir and Orchestras.
    Our thanks are due to all who contributed to the success of these events. It is hoped that from the proceeds a radio-gramophone will be purchased and the swimming pool fund substantially increased. 

—:—

    It is desired to draw special attention to the address on "Careers" to be given next term by Mr. W. E. Davis, of the Headmasters' Employment Committee. Further particulars will be found in the "Parents' Association" Notes, and final details will be announced later.

—:—

    We were sorry to lose Mr. E. Clayton, who left the Staff at the end of January, but congratulate him on obtaining a good appointment under the London County Council. His place is being taken temporarily by Mr. D. W. Pestell, who, we hope, will remain with us until July next.

—:—

    We also regret the serious illness of Mr. Uncles and of Mr. Langley, and hope both will make a speedy recovery and be with us again next term.

PARENTS' ASSOCIATION.

    The opening days of the New Year found us busy with the arrangement for the revival of the School Parties. The excellent supervision given by Mrs. Whitehouse and the Ladies' Committee resulted in a very successful effort to revive a feature of the School life to which our boys and their guests may look forward.
    The Executive Committee desire to take this opportunity to express to all concerned their appreciation of the success of this venture, and thanks are due to those parents who so kindly subscribed the funds to defray expenses, also to Mr. F. Delahaye who provided transport for boys and their guests.
    We look back with pleasure on the many social events arranged for the past winter season: our dance on 3rd February was most enjoyable; a jolly crowd, dainty refreshments, good music, and the knowledge that we were within the building that shelters our boys during School life all helped to provide a pleasant evening. We look forward to various events of interest to all parents during the coming summer term.
    In the early autumn we hope to arrange for a Parent' Association Dinner and to make this an annual fixture. Your Executive Committee feel sure that this effort will be well supported.
    Will all parents please note that it is proposed to hold a meeting in the School Hall on Wednesday, 16th May, when a lecture on "Careers" will be given. The Head Master is kindly arranging with Mr. W. E. Davis, of the Headmasters' Employment Committee, London, to come down and speak on a subject near to all our thoughts. Further particulars will be given later.

OLD PHAROSIANS.

    The Annual Reunion held on 26th December at the Town Hall proved successful from a social standpoint, but the attendance, though good, was not quite sufficient to prevent a loss occurring. The Town Hall has been secured for Boxing Night this year, and it is hoped we may have a larger number present. Despite financial losses the committee feel this event should not be allowed to lapse.
    Unhappily, the Smoking Concert, which it was arranged to hold at the Crypt Café on 24th February, had to be abandoned owing to less than a dozen being present.
    We were rather more fortunate at the final dance on our programme, held at the Garden Hall on 3rd March, and a very happy evening resulted, the room being comfortably full by the time supper was served.
    It would seem timely to state at this juncture that unless the promise of greater support is evident the committee may feel they are no longer justified in arranging so ambitions a programme for another season, as apart from the work and discouragement experienced by those most closely responsible, the Association cannot much longer afford to suffer a continuance of losses.
    It is a matter of satisfaction to the committee that after considerable trouble and discussion a blazer has at last been decided upon, and this will be obtainable from Mr. W. J. Peppin very shortly. Those requiring to purchase one should, however, make immediate application through one of the Association Secretaries, or delay may result. The price of a blazer without lined sleeves is 33s. 9d., or with lined sleeves 35s. 6d. The colour of the Old Pharosians' tie has been changed to correspond more nearly with the blazer colours, and the new pattern tie will also be on sale in the near future, price 2s. 6d.
    May we repeat that the Secretary and the Editor are always glad to receive news of Old Boys for publication, and that the Magazine is always available for any announcements which will enable our members to keep in touch with one another. With this end in view, it is hoped to publish next term a full list of names and addresses of members and to repeat this list periodically.
    L. R. E. Kennedy, who entered the Mechanical Training Establishment of the Royal Navy at Chatham two years ago has been promoted Midshipman Engineer, and entered Keyham College of Naval Engineering on 10th January.
    Wilfred Sergeant has been appointed advertising manager of Messrs. David Morgan, Ltd., Cardiff.
    E. W. Pudney (from the Gold Coast), H. G. Pudney (from Nigeria) and L. J. Pudney (of the P. and O. Service) have all been home on leave this term, and during one fortnight all managed to be together in Dover.
    E. M. Smith is expected home on leave from Brazil in April.
    We have seen the following at School this term:–G. J. Redgate, who is with the Standard Bank of South Africa, at the London Office; C. J. S. Mumford, recently transferred from Port Sunlight to Unilever House, London; and H. I. Fisher, who has lately passed his First Mate's Examination.
    Alan Andrews, who entered the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, in January, writes that he has been picked for the Battalion 2nd XI. Soccer and is training for Company Boxing.

Old Pharosians' Football Club.

    The 1st XI. have had a very successful season so far, holding a very good position in the League table and having reached the semi-final of the Dover Charity Cup.
    The team did very well indeed in putting Buckland Mill out of the Cup Competition, and were unlucky to lose in the semi-final by a goal to nil, extra time having to be played to decide the match.
    The complete record to date is as under:—
 

    The "A" team have cheerfully taken the field each week, and despite their lack of success in many matches they have had some enjoyable games.
    New players are urgently needed to enable this team to maintain their place in the League next season. Any boys interested in the Club are cordially welcomed and should get in touch with me when leaving School.

R. RUSSELL, Hon. Sec.

HOUSE NOTES.
Buckland House.

    House activities this term have been restricted entirely to Rugger, at which we have been successful in winning four games, drawing one, and losing none, with one to play.
    In the first few games there was a notable lack of combination among the entire team, particularly, perhaps, with the forwards, but later, with some reorganization of the scrum, a marked improvement resulted in out beating Maxton 16—0, an unexpected result.
    A few general comments on the play may not come amiss. The forwards have not, in general, played as a pack, though some combination was evident at the end of the season. Forward play still savours too much of soccer to be good Rugger.
    The halves and three-quarters, when given good chances, have occasionally made use of them, although good passing movements have been rare. Pelham has played well throughout the season at full back.
    This year, for the first time, Rugby is taken into consideration in the House Championship. A close contest for the Shield is likely, and our cricket and sports results next term will decide the question as to whether or not we retain it. One way in which all members of the House can assist is for present non-swimmers to learn to swim at least one length during the Summer Term.
    Two new boys, J. Atwood and A. G. Letheren, are this term welcomed to the House.

G. B.

—:—

Country House.

    Last term's notes expressed the hope that Country would establish a record soccer season by winning every match, and here the House and both XI.'s are congratulated on accomplishing the feat.
    At Rugby this term the House has had a fairly good season. After rather unluckily losing to Buckland in the first match, we have won three and drawn one of the remaining fixtures;  the last match is yet to be played. A particularly meritorious win was against Maxton. by 33 points to nil. At present Country is assured of second place in the House Rugby table, while there is still a remote chance of beating Buckland for the first position. Now that Rugby is an established School game, and Counts points towards the House Shield, it behoves every member of the House to interest himself in and take part in the game. Hickman is congratulated on being elected captain of the School XV.—this is the fifth successive captaincy of School teams that has gone to Country House.
    The following are welcomed to the House :—R. Boakes, D. H. Lawther, T. Lennon, K. J. W. Madge, R. C. Reeder and J. T. Tunbridge.

Maxton House.

    Rugby football has been the main activity this term, and for the first time in the history of the School points are being awarded for the House Matches. Owing to the difficulty in obtaining experienced players, teams of twelve members only have been fielded. The House has only gained moderate success in this direction, due in the main to the lightness of the pack, but mention must be made of the outstanding performances of P. E. Coles and Magub. Town was defeated by a decisive margin in both matches, but we suffered heavy defeats at the hands of Buckland and Country.
    Training for the Inter-School Sports has been in progress for some weeks now, and it is gratifying to know that the House will be well represented at Canterbury on 24th March. As the contest for the House Shield will be very keen, I take this opportunity of urging all members to commence training for the Sports and practice. for cricket at the earliest possible moment. In such a small House as this it is only by the concerted efforts of all members that success can be gained. There has been too great a tendency in the past towards placing the brunt of the work on a few individuals.
We welcome J. L. Smith as a new member of the House this term.

R. W. M.

—:—

Town House.

    The activities of the House this term have been confined solely to Rugby, which we hope has now become "the game" for the Spring Term. Unfortunately, the same difficulties as for soccer were experienced in obtaining a full team even after the decision to play twelve-a-side Rugby, but we managed to field a team against Maxton on 23rd January. The result was a win for Maxton, 29—3, owing to the fact that most of our team had little of no previous experience of the game.
    What they lacked in skill, however, our team made up for in enthusiasm, and partly by their readiness to learn and apply, and partly by the heroic individual efforts of Kirton and West and one of two others, we have lost the remaining matches  by a steadily decreasing margin, v z., 21, 18, 15 and 6 points respectively.
    Our last match with the leading House, Buckland, showed us and them what we can do. Perhaps in the final match with them we shall achieve our belated but well-deserved victory. Who knows?
    We welcome the following new boys to the House:— E. F. W. Harris, P. E. D. Harris, R. J. Austin, J. D. Williams. May they all become Rugger players!

RUGBY FOOTBALL

    The award this season, for the first time in School history, of Rugby football caps may be taken as fairly indicating that Rugby football is now definitely established in the School.
    House matches have been continued this season, each House fielding a XII. of its own. In a school of 440 boys it ought to be possible to turn out a complete XV. from each House. Some scrappy play was seen in the House games early in the season, but the standard is improving as more experience is gained.
    The School XV. has so far played six matches, but only one win has been achieved. It is, perhaps, unfortunate that we play only teams who are heavier and more experienced than ourselves. Nevertheless, the XV. as a whole is probably the best the School has turned out. One of the best matches was the home fixture with Dover Wednesday XV. Against a strong team containing such stars as an Army 100 yards sprinter the forwards played an excellent game, their dribbling movements repeatedly taking the ball into the opponents' "twenty-five". Good tackling was seen in this game, and at all times the tackling of Bailey, Magub and Coles has been hard and accurate. Another game in which the forwards distinguished themselves was the last match against Dover "A", their work in the loose and set scrums being much superior to that of the Club pack. All the forwards have worked consistently hard, their success being mainly due to energetic following up. Magub and Coles have worked hard behind the pack. Slator has probably been the most conspicuous three-quarter in attack. Although rather too fond of hanging on to the ball, he has been our principal scorer, his goal kicking being especially brilliant—witnesses that opportune dropped goal against Dover Wednesday. Dewar has shown himself to be very valuable in defence. At times the three-quarters have been slow to attack the opposing line, and the line has been apt to get out of position. It is noticeable that return passing movements in the line have been very rare. Unstead has done well at full back (a position new to him), although his lack of weight has sometimes put him at a disadvantage.
The following earn distinction as gaining first awards of School Rugby football caps :—Bailey, Borthwick, P. E. Coles, Hickman, Magub, Pearce, Slater, Slator, Unstead and S. M. West. With an excel1ent nucleus of this year's players, next year's XV. should play good football. May I point out to all "Ruggerites," especial1y the ten-stoners, that a good forward will soon find a place in the team. Good luck to the 1935 XV., and — " Fol1ow up, Schoo1."

HOUSE TABLE, 1933.

SPORTS ACCOUNT
on 15th March, 1934.

1st CADET COMPANY C. P. (F.) R. E.

    At the beginning of the term Company parades were somewhat limited by other School activities, and by the short evenings; but the last few weeks have seen some useful training in preparation for the Church Parade to be held at St. Mary's on 6th May. This will follow the usual pattern, now rapidly becoming traditional. The County Commandant has kindly consented to present the Lucas Tooth shield, medals, and bars in the Town Hall after the Service.
    This time the Corps has been somewhat reorganized. The Band now forms a separate section for purposes of section drill, and the rest of the Company is divided into four equal sections. Section 4, as before, is composed of recruits: these are quite satisfactory in number and promising in prowess, partly due to an extensive recruiting campaign earlier in the year. The value of the Cadet Corps cannot be stresses too much. Boys in the lower Forms—and their parents—do not realise how much it means and will mean to them later on, for a Cadet Corps training, crowned with Certificate "A" is a very valuable and sometimes indispensable qualification on leaving school. So join the Corps at once, you non-Cadets, whether you are in Form I., II., III., or IV. You'll never regret it!
    As may be deduced from certain fleeting figures seen on the top pitch at dusk recently, we are sending a team to Chingford on 24th March. It is unfortunate that this date coincides with that of the Inter-School Sports, as many potential Chingford winners will be journeying to Canterbury.
    Another event which is eagerly awaited at the time of writing is the Rugby match, Corps v. School, on 21st March. Judging by the number of Cadets in the School XV. the Corps should fare well.
    Whilst we congratulate the O. C. of our parent unit on his distinctive promotion to the rank of Colonel, we regret to hear of his approaching retirement. During the whole history of the Corps he has always been our constant friend and adviser. In the past Colonel Mowll has rendered us a multitude of services. He has allowed us to use the R. E. Drill Hall for shooting on numerous occasions, given us the services of his instructors for our Certificate "A" candidates, and inspected us at more than one Camp. Through his courtesy we visited Hawkinge in 1927 and Chatham last year. In short, he has been a true benefactor of the Corps.
    The following are to be congratulated on their success in the November examination for Certificate "A":—D/M. Pearce, Cpls. Slator and Le Prevost, Lce.-Cpls. West, Dargan and Wilde. Promotion :—Cadet Donald to Lance-Corporal.

"TWELFTH NIGHT."

    On the 8th and 9th of February the Dramatic Society presented their first Shakespearian play to large and enthusiastic audiences. Attempt, and, I may add, highly successful attempt, was made to recapture the spirit of the play, not merely in the rendering of the words themselves, but also in the lighting effects, stage arrangements and costumes. No separate and distinctive scenery was arranged for the various scenes, but contrast and variety were obtained with the aid of flowing curtains and a skilful lighting combination on a conventional set-piece. Miming played a part in keeping with the fantastic nature of the comedy, and thus did away with the necessity of using swords or letters, incidentally giving the actors themselves an additional opportunity of showing their histrionic ability.
    In "Twelfth Night," a masque of comedy arising mainly from a confusion of partners in love's young dream, the situation rapidly complicates from the outset. Viola is perhaps responsible for the beginning of the trouble by assuming the guise of her brother, Sebastian, whom she supposes drowned. But when Olivia falls in love with her and she with the Duke, matters soon get beyond her control. She feels her helplessness. The problem is in no way simplified at first by the appearance of Sebastian, who eventually brings matters to a head. Amid soft music and sparkling comedy Time slowly unties the knot from which Viola shrinks. At length, Olivia, with a haste for which she has at any rate the grace to apologise, marries Sebastian, and when Viola has confessed her identity to her lord she becomes "Orsino's mistress and his Fancy's queen." Side by side with this idealised romance, and in marked contrast to it, is the vulgar fooling and brawling of Sir Toby Belch and his friends. Malvolio, Olivia's steward, naturally takes exception to the riotous living going on under his roof. Annoyed at his attitude, Sir Toby and Sir Andrew resolve to wreck his pride with the assistance of Maria, Olivia's maid, and they are admirably successful. "My lady loves me," he says, and so he goes. smiling and cross-gartered, to mop and mow at his lady's feet.

    But he is soon disillusioned, and for the rest of the time, except for a brief final protest, languishes in solitary confinement. The clown with song and laughter lightly skips from main to sub plot, and with jest and music breathes over all the spirit of comedy, dispelling any possible trace of seriousness.
 

   Orsino, Duke of Illyria, staid and grave in his love, was very well portrayed. His passion for Olivia is a purely superficial emotion. He realizes it himself later on and, even as he discovers his real feelings, finds at the same time, in Cesario, all and more than he had looked for in vain in Olivia.

    Viola and Sebastian were sufficiently alike to make the plot convincing, dressed, as they were, in similar costume. Viola's soft voice and graceful manners fitted perfectly the general atmosphere of the play.

    The coarse Sir Toby Belch, rowdy and dissolute, and the imbecile Sir Andrew Aguecheek, dressed in appropriate flame coloured costume, were delightfully played. Fond as they were of "caterwauling," they had some difficulty in restraining themselves behind the "box-tree " ; and they finally triumph over Malvolio.

    Malvolio was excellent. Proud, over-bearing and "sick of self-love," always very much on his dignity, he stalked blindly to his downfall, and like other people who attempt to assume dignity where none is merited, merely became ridiculous.

    Feste, the clown, thoroughly threw himself into the spirit of the play and gave a really amusing and entertaining performance. His voice, though not strong, was quite pleasing. His acting was so natural as to be barely noticeable, except of course when as Sir Topas he purposely made it obtrusive.

    The minor characters were equally good. Altogether the whole cast, from the canary in the garden to the principal actors, gave a rendering of "Twelfth Night" worthy of the greatness of the dramatist himself.

    The School's gratitude and thanks are due to all who took any part whatever in presenting the play: to the actors themselves, to the less conspicuous hut equally important stage manager and his assistants, electricians, and " effects off,' to the School Orchestra, who played selections during the interval, to those who designed, executed and sold the artistic programmes, and to those ladies who so kindly and so skilfully prepared effective costumes. So now the third of a highly successful series has passed away, leaving us with pleasant recollections of the past, and eager anticipation of the future.

WIPTAT YE SCRYBE.

THE CONCERT AND DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT.

Despite the rough weather, a considerable audience of enthusiasts attended the School Concert on the evening of 14th March. The long and attractive programme was divided into three sections, the first of these being a presentation of "Twice is Too Much," a humorous play adapted from the "Arabian Nights," and given by the Junior Dramatic Society. Everyone will agree that this was a creditable performance, which had been produced, unfortunately under great difficulties, by Miss. O. M. Rookwood. All, even the many slaves, did their parts well: Nouz-Hatoul, besides being all that a wife should be, acted with pleasing restraint; Haroun was a worthy leader of the " Faithful"; Zobeide, his sophisticated lady-love, and Ishah, his forceful bailiff. No one can fairly criticise Abu—" whatever his faults," he had had only five days to show what he could do, owing to the unfortunate last-minute indisposition of the male lead. The excellence of the costumes and the stage-settings must be mentioned, and also the fact that Nouz-Ha/ou l's "sweet breath" was super-imposed in the best Hollywood manner.

Between the acts the Junior Orchestra played a varied programme, ranging from "Britannia Selections" to a "Scene in the Gobi Desert."

Next followed solos, duets, trios, songs and choruses by the School trebles and altos. It would be impossible to comment individually on such a display of talent: on the proficiency of even the smallest: how the blending of the trebles and altos in "The Snow" was enhanced by the splendid accompaniment of two violinists: how well Mendelssohn's duet, "Autumn Song," was given: how much the audience appreciated the splendidly played violin solo, "Romance," by Svensden. After the audience, at the Headmaster's word of command, had turned round their chairs, and when all eyes were fixed on the organ gallery, the trumpet and trombone sounded the first notes of the programme given by the Senior Orchestra. Then the full choir was heard in the old favourite," The Vikings' Song." Tenors and basses next gave the martial song, "Hark I the Trumpet "—a last-minute inclusion which proved very successful. At last the organist came into his own, and entertained us with the solo, "Homage Hymn," by Rowley. After more selections by the Orchestra, and the singing of the part-song, In this Hour," by Pinsuti, selections from " Faust " jointly rendered by the Orchestra and Choir brought the proceedings to a close.

To attempt to thank all those who in any way contributed to make the entertainment such a success would be merely to repeat the remarks of the Headmaster. However, tribute must be paid to the high spirit of loyalty to the School, which prompted so many of our old friends to "scale the heights" of Astor Avenue in so much "stormy weather." Also sincere gratitude must be expressed to Miss Rookwood and Mr. Willis—only those who were with them at rehearsals and on the night of the concert can realize the greatness of their task and how much the success of the event depended on their efforts. Finally, to everyone who in any way helped to make our first "Concert" such a memorable event the School offers its heartfelt gratitude and thanks.

LONDON, 1934.

On Saturday, 3rd March, two masters, twenty members of the Sixth Form, and a mysterious parcel left Dover for London. Even a gramophone failed to rouse certain members of the party as they revelled in their respective political papers, and Burlington House was reached without mishap.

Here the party separated. The majority first followed out a short programme which had been recommended at School. This included the most famous works of Millais, Rosetti, Holman Hunt, Constable, Gainshorough and Turner. The latter's magnificent canvases were especial favourites, but many were disappointed that the "Fighting Téméraire" was not in the collection. Each then, according to his taste, made his way to the room which interested him. Most popular were the Pre-Raphaehites and the Water Colours, while many paused to attempt an analysis of Frith's "The Railway Station." At 12.45 the reassembled party crossed into St. James's Park and spent a most enjoyable half-hour. The Science Form then turned westward to South Kensington, and the Arts eastward to the British Museum.

First, the Arts took the opportunity of seeing that renowned document, the Codex Sinaiticus. The chief lecturer of the Museum, Mr. Hallett, gave a most interesting lecture on the history of the development of the modern printed book. This account was adequately illustrated in the Manuscript Halls by papyrus and vellum rolls, illuminated volumes, Caxton's first printed book, and an original portfolio edition of Shakespeare. Mr. Hallett concluded by pointing out documents of note: the only extant copy of Beowulf, Alfred's Chronicle, an original copy of Magna Charta, and Shakespeare's six surviving signatures. Until 4.30 each went where he would. A number, in the English Art section, saw Blake's descriptive water colours of Dante's "Divine Comedy" and S. Rickett's stage settings for Shakespeare. Many saw the Elgin Marbles, the Portland Vase and the Graeco-Roman sculptures, while a few chose the Asiatic sections. The party then crossed the river to Westminster Bridge Road, where it joined the Science group for a most acceptable tea.

The Science group had been with Mr. Pearce to the Science Museum, where they spent an interesting and instructive afternoon. Some attended, but only for a few minutes, a lecture on Spectrology, leaving on its proving to be only of the most elementary nature. It is to be regretted that there is not more space to speak, even in generalities, of the many exhibits which demanded attention: the Schneider Trophy 'plane; a flying boat used in the exploration of 1924-25 of the Amazon; the section dealing with the development of the cinematograph;. that dealing with space formulae of organic compounds; the astronomical instruments; models of the solar system and of star groups; the radiogram; the development of steam turbines, and that of aeronautical engines; and, last but not least, the whole Children's Gallery, especially that model showing improved stage lighting. At 4.30 the party most reluctantly left the Museum and (in closest privacy let it be whispered) tubed (O most execrable crime!) to Westminster, arriving, as a result of this laziness, half-an-hour too early.

By 7.40 p.m. the party was seated in the pit stalls of the Old Vic to see the last performance of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest." Before the curtain was raised, numerous discoveries were made concerning the stage lighting, which was compared with that of the School stage. One member was proud to find that the theatre was "just like a well-known building in his own street." The play itself was even better than had been expected. One gathered, from the swift passage of conversation, that the words had been learned and no actor had been attracted away from rehearsals by alluring parlour games. Flora Robson, Athene Seyler, Elsa Lanchester, Ursula Jeans, Roger Livesey and Charles Laughton gave fine portrayals of their respective characters. The whole performance will be an excellent criterion for the future productions of the School society.

All pleasant things have an end. The bus left at 10.45 p.m. At Wrotham we solved the mystery of the parcel, which proved to contain a most acceptable supper for which many thanks were voted to Mrs. Whitehouse. At one minute past midnight the masters were greeted in the appropriate manner. The Head Prefect then led a hearty vote of thanks to Messrs. Watt and Pearce which, it is hoped, did not make the countryside turn over in its bed. Dover was reached at 1.30 a.m. on Sunday. Good weather and careful arrangement had ensured the complete success of a most enjoyable expedition.

A CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

CLARE COLLEGE,           
    CAMBRIDGE.

DEAR D.C.S.,
    Those in Cambridge entitled to style themselves " Old Pharosians" number merely five, namely, Garland, Sewell, Paterson, White and myself, and of these I have seen only two this term, so that this letter is by no means a full account of our activities.
    White is keeping his second term in Trinity Hall, and as Clare is the next college, I see more of him than of the remainder. My window looks out on to part of the Hall and frequently I hear a well-known whistle from below and throw up the window,
when Michael's voice greets me from the darkness. Such is the usual manner of our conversations, though occasionally we adopt the more humdrum procedure of lunching together in our rooms. Unfortunately, my news of him is bad, as he has been laid up with a broken leg, or, more technically, a greenstick fracture of the fibula, contracted while playing Rugger for the Hall 2nd XV. quite early in the term. It was very bad luck, as he was beginning to play regularly not only in college games, but for the Martyrs, a training college team, and moreover he had the bitter disappointment of being unable to attend lectures for some time. Having grown prodigiously heavy, he has now returned to normal health and activity. His recovery was in part due to the attentions of a well-known masseur, Bill Lovat—well-known since he also practises hypnotism, and has a large clientele requiring to be influenced to work hard for examinations and so on. Incidentally, hypnotism has distinct possibilities. For instance, the whole School could be made to delight in going out at a quarter to eleven, and the Prefects so relieved of the arduous task of chasing small boys out of class rooms only to find them leaking in through the lobbies.
    On rare occasions I see Paterson in the street, and pass the time of day; but last term we had tea together on several Sundays. It was interesting how inevitably the conversation turned to the School, generally to some humorous incident. Paterson is now in his third year and has a set in Pembroke, a college well known here for its good records in all sports—the Varsity boat has four Pembroke men in it this year. He plays quite regularly for the 1st XI. at soccer, and seemed likely to win his colours when I last saw him.
    I don't suppose many at School now will remember either Sewell or Garland. The former has just come up to Wesley House after teaching in Burma for some years, and intends to become a Nonconformist Minister. White and I saw a little of him last term, but not this year so far.
    For my part, I am quite settled down to University life after a somewhat bewildering first year in rooms. My chief preoccupation nowadays is Part I. of the Natural Science Tripos, which takes place in June. It is a grim business, especially when even firsts are not assured of a position afterwards. But I mix my toil with pleasure in the form of rowing, and can claim
to have succeeded more in that than in any other sport, as I was awarded my first Lent colours this year. Our boat started fifth in the Lents and made three bumps, but failed to get Jesus and the Headship on the last day. The crew were all very disappointed at not being able to crown their efforts, and for that matter so was the whole college. Everyone from the Master to the gyps takes the keenest interest in college sports, and one finds it very inspiring to be surrounded by such an intimate team spirit.
    I should like to say something of Cambridge itself, the beauty of the colleges, the river, its countless societies and clubs, the
solemnity of King's, and all the thousand things which make Cambridge so much more than a place of learning. But science does not teach the use of the pen, and all I can do is to hope that as great a number as possible will be able to come up and learn for themselves what the Varsity stands for.
    Wishing the School all prosperity and success,

I remain,                                                                                    
Yours sincerely,                                                               
H. C. BLAGKFORD.                                          

SINGAPORE.

In such a city as Singapore events are likely to happen with startling suddenness. This phenomenon is not merely applicable to important happenings, however. For example, one's awakening in Singapore was very abrupt indeed. One moment we were sleeping peacefully, protected from petty persecutions by a flimsy mosquito net, and the next we were rudely awakened by the voice of the muezzin in the mosque, reverberating throughout the city, calling the Mohammedans to morning prayer. To a
European this is indeed a strange experience. It is unusual to hear a voice calling "Allah, A-l-l-a-h, Allah il Allah," at five o'clock in the morning. After recovering from this startling experience, we naturally began to think what other novel surprises this strange city might contain.
    The best point to start the search for surprises is at the offices of the Singapore Free Press, the leading newspaper of the city. These premises, apart from being very imposing, reminded us very vividly of home. For even before the ancient muezzin
has started his morning chant the offices are a hive of industry. To stand outside this great building and watch the heterogeneous mass of people passing by is an education in itself. The Malay water carriers are the most interesting to watch. They stalk majestically along the dusty street balancing huge earthenware water-pots on their heads. We were just marvelling at their dexterity when we were assailed by a native beggar howling for " Baksheesh "in shrill tones. It is most advisable to respond to this plaintive cry, otherwise one is likely to be the object of the same mendicant's attentions all day.
    The most imposing building in the whole city is the General Post Office. It is indeed a triumph of British architecture. Built solely of white concrete, it seems to reflect the heat of the tropical sun and to dazzle the eyes of the onlooker. Proceeding on our way, we next pass the Supreme Court and Government buildings, which are daily the scene of important trials, for Singapore is by no means a Peaceful city. A little further on we encountered a very incongruous, yet impressive procession. First caine four Sikh horsemen mounted on superb white horses followed by a cream-coloured Rolls Royce car, with four horsemen similarly mounted bringing up the rear. This is the entourage of the Sultan of Johore, who visits Singapore almost daily to attend the trials at the Supreme Court, for many of the malefactors are his subjects.
    As we made our way back to our house, the most conspicuous signs of modernity made themselves heard. For Singapore is
ultra-modern in at least one respect. Instead of trains she runs trolley buses, which strike one as being the epitome of incongruity amongst the rickshaws which dodge in and out among the crowds with amazing rapidity.

EAST WIND.

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE RHINE GORGE.

On the way to Budapest it was necessary to travel up the Rhine Valley from Cologne. Between Coblenz and Mainz the Rhine excavates a deep, winding and picturesque gorge through the high land. This proved to be the best scenery on the whole journey. The railway runs practically parallel to the road and both are crowded in between the river and the sloping hills. In several places the line crossed the road by a level crossing. These crossings had no gates to them but only a single wooden bar which moved up and down across the road automatically.
    One thing that we noticed was the way in which the hill slopes were terraced for the growth dif vines. The slopes reminded one of a series of rockeries ranging from the bottom to the top. We pitied the man who possessed a piece of land near the top, for the slope was both long and steep.
    As the train flashed by, we glimpsed many quaint little villages. It reminded us of the old German pictures seen in fairy tale books. The churches had the familiar red-tiled turrets and gables. The houses were small and the inhabitants, for the most part, appeared to be self-supporting. Nearly all the houses had a piece of ground attached in which a few pigs or cattle were feeding. At every bend of the river was the nun of an ancient castle situated on a rocky ledge or on a lofty crag. These castles have great historical interest, for undoubtedly they have witnessed many a feudal battle. Many a German legend and song was inspired by these ancient ruins. We saw numerous weary peasants and their families leading a bullock team home for the night after a hard days toil in the fields. Women were seen doing manual labour in the fields and orchards.
    Grubby little tugs were pulling long lines of barges up the river, while here and there a quaint-looking sailing vessel was ploughing her way along. At last we reached Mainz, where we had our last views of the gorge before branching off up the Main valley.

RECLUSE.

AT BREAK.

The class fidgets ; one or two of the boys who comprise the bedrock of the Form glance anxiously over their shoulders at the clock which inexorably ticks on, no faster, —seemingly a lot slower. The sweet-toothed youths steal a furtive glance through the windows and note with apprehension the rapidly increasing crowd round the tuck-shop. Another boy constantly shoots up his hand asking silly questions. The Master himself answers him as briefly is he can, longing to be in the Staff Room to continue his argument with his colleague who contends that steel-shafted clubs are a decided improvement on the wooden shafted ones.
    At last the seeker after knowledge ceases to seek any more. Sycophantic sighs of relief are heard from all parts of the room, and, with a peremptory "Get out into the playground!" the Master hastens to the Staff Room, where, within a very short space of time, he is comfortably ensconced in one of those luxurious armchairs which one glimpses occasionally through a fortuitously opened doorway.
    Meanwhile, outside this careful sanctum, "Break" Fifth and Fourth Formers hanging about in small groups, Latin or French books in hand ; the smaller boys playing a game which consists of grabbing someone by his coat collar and uttering sundry shouts until the victim is exhausted ; one or two of the holder spirits advance up the " grand staircase " every time the Prefect's back is turned, only to scuttle back when he faces them again in pompous dignity ; while the Master on duty is busily signing autograph books.
    By the railings, overlooking the Rugger pitch, boys who have done their homework, more or less, offer cryptic and often good advice to those ardently practising for flue Inter-School Sports. The " milk shop " seems to have lessened its appeal, although the caretaker still stacks up the pennies in neat piles of twelve. Rumour hath it that the School Rugby XV. are training on Cow and Gate. Perhaps this accounts for the slump. At the end of the terrace, boys who have finished their bottle gaze with admiration, envy, and sometimes with contempt at the streamlined, sleek racing machines which are coyly hidden there by their respective owners.
    In the. last refuge of stay-at-homes the continual strife between Prefects and boys is being waged. The lobbies are the bane of a Prefect's life.
    Woe to him who is posted ''on the lower corridor!"
    Inside the Form Rooms, too, boys contrive ingenious hiding places, which, for obvious reasons, I am not able to disclose,
in order that they may boast to their friends, ''I've been in all break!"
    The bell commences to ring. All activities cease. One boy is hastily gulping down a carton of lemonade; obviously he is preparing for the aridity of a Latin lesson. But wait! What is that? It's incredible! He's actually running into school!
