Finally, I would like to express my thanks to those masters who so kindly officiated in various capacities for the different races. Yours faithfully, J. M. DICKENSON, Captain of Boats.
THE JUNIOR SCHOOL. One of the things that has puzzled some of us this term has been the doubt about the official title of the term. In the past we have always thought of the term as the Easter Term, but recently we have seen notices on the board headed " Lent Term " and also " Spring Term." An Old Olavite who has been to a University tells us that the proper title is " Hilary Term " ! It looks as if we shall have to do something about it! Whatever name we may apply to it our past term has been full of interest and incidents. On the very first Saturday of term the Rev. F. L. Wyman kindly gave us a lantern lecture on his experiences in. Australia and Tasmania. Mr. Wyman's pictures were nearly all his own photographs, and he kept us all very quiet indeed for over an hour with stories of his life and adventures. The heavy falls of snow provided a good deal of fun until we began to get rather tired of so much snow interfering with our normal games, and then two cases of mumps put us " out of our stride " as regards any matches with other schools. However, Sergt.-Major Puddick has continued his Boxing lessons with a large number of very keen boxers, and we were able to hold a most successful Boxing Tournament on Tuesday, March 16th. The Headmaster, Mr. A. J. Price, acted as referee; Mr. J. H. Stevenson and Mr. K. G. Chilman as judges ; Mr. J. S. Cooper as timekeeper ; and Mr. A. W. Ping as announcer. The full list of contests is printed below. As Easter Sunday came very early this year we had not broken up for the holidays, but, of course, we had a halfholiday on Good Friday, and the boarders had an enjoyable afternoon in the country in the Castle Howard district. Nature study enthusiasts could make but little progress, and the prize offered for six wild flowers could not be claimed. Mr. Ping gave the whole of the Junior School two talks illustrated by lantern slides. The first was on " Pilgrim's Progress," Part I, and he had borrowed a splendid set of slides in colour which were most interesting. The second talk was entitled " A Walk in the Country," and the slides were photographs of birds, animals, trees, flowering plants and insects which one might see in the course of walks at different times of the year. 53
