In these days when so many events are claimed as "records," St. Olave's must keep up with the times ! We started the new school year at the beginning of a new regime with a record number of boys on the roll of the Junior School—ninety-six boys in all, of whom twenty-six were new boys.

Some Old Boys may well ask, " However does the Junior School manage with all those boys ? " Our answer is, " Come and see the New Buildings with the much greater accommodation that we now have compared with the old schoolroom across the road."

The work of the term has been carried through in a satisfactory manner, and we are very glad to say that we have been able to hold the Ninth Annual Gymnastic Display in the Gymnasium, followed (in the Big Hall) by a short play in French, entitled " L'Horloge du Chef de Gare."

A very pleasant innovation was introduced when Mr. and Mrs. Price kindly invited the large company of parents and friends to afternoon tea in the School House Dining Hall.

Sergt.-Major Puddick was warmly congratulated by Mr. Price at the conclusion of the Gym. Display, and we should like to record here that it was no small achievement to get all the boys—including such a number of new boys—to reach the standard they showed in the graded physical exercises.

The French Play was very bright and pleasing, all the cast showed great keenness, reflecting the painstaking work put in by the producers, Mr. K. H. Rhodes and Mr. J. S. Cooper.

Crazes have been pursued—as usual—with much gusto during the term : paper aeroplanes lasted the longest it seemed, and provided interest and amusement to onlookers as well as to the owners.

The 5th of November was remembered as usual by a good display of fireworks, and we afterwards went to view the bonfire on Clifton Green, which blazed more successfully than usual as it was a fairly dry evening.

The dancing class held on Saturday evenings, under Miss Cowper's able instruction, has been very successful and well attended, finishing up with a most enjoyable evening at the Academy in Stonegate on December 12th.

Finally, we have all worked hard at the School examinations, and are now looking forward to our wellearned Christmas holidays.

In a little provincial town we hear from the stationmaster that someone has stolen the station clock. The sack which contains this clock is mixed up with that of the hero, Joseph. Consequently, they arrest Joseph, but the mayor says that he will pardon him if he will marry his ugly daughter, Yvonne. Joseph adores his fiancee, Mathilde, but, after a mental struggle, he agrees to this marriage. He is saved by the appearance of the real thieves, who areonly men sent to repair the clock. To lessen the mayor's disappointment the station-master agrees to marry the ugly daughter.
