Another Easter term with prolonged frost and snow! But we are glad to say with no epidemics. In fact, the health of the boys throughout the term has been exceptionally good, and we wonder whether this is partly due to the special bottled milk that all the boarders and many day boys are taking at School in break.

There has been little Football owing to the weather, but boys have had grand games in the snow, and sliding, tobogganing, and skating have been popular. Mr. Walshaw took the opportunity of holding more Scout meetings and a good many Scouts passed various tests.

Sergt.-Major Puddick was again able to give boxing lessons, we are glad to say, and a very interesting Tournament was held on Wednesday, March 25th, in the Gym. Dr. Macpherson very kindly again acted as Referee, and .Mr. G. F. Jackson and Mr_. R. S. Bickle, 0.P., were Judges. Mr. J. R. Walshaw was Timekeeper and Mr. A. W. Ping made the announcements. Sergeant Armitage, of the A.P.T.C., thanked Dr. Macpherson for his good offices and supported his comments on the good standard of boxing and the evenly matched contests.

The first signs of the coming of Spring were all much later than usual this year, and we give the following dates :-

First Winter Aconite, 11th March ; first Lesser Celandine, 16th March ; first Coltsfoot, 18th March. We record also that a Kestrel was seen hovering over St. Olave's grounds on February 10th.

The Olavites have been most appreciative of the very successful House Concerts given during the term, and would like to congratulate the producers and the performers on such varied and entertaining fare.

We were very pleased to see a good number of Olavites doing their bit in the high class School Concert, given on 46

the last Saturday of term. Sincere thanks are due to Mrs. Baird for the untiring trouble she took with us.

It is said that the applications for new boys to enter St. Olave's for the Summer Term have been so large that the limit has been reached for the term. This is a new record!

ST. OLAVE'S GAMES.

Unfavourable weather conditions limited our exercise to long-distance " runs " for the greater part of the term. When the grounds were fit, Boarders and Day Boys resumed hostilities on the Rugger field and finished all square.

Colours were awarded to Dixon, Macpherson, Reavley, Tate, Davidge, Newdick, Hardisty and Moreton.

ST. OLAVE'S SCOUTS.

We have enrolled a large number of new Scouts this term, and the troop is now probably as large as it has ever been.

Tate is to be congratulated on winning his Second Class Badge; several others have made great progress in this direction.

Apart from an afternoon in the snow, outdoor activity has been restricted, but we have found plenty to occupy us indoors. The most amusing of these occasions was when each patrol presented a One-Act Play.

The Patrol Competition, revived this term, stands as follows : 1, Curlews (36) ; 2, Peewits (30) ; 3, Owls (29) ; 4, Wood Pigeons (27) ; 5, Hawks (20).

ST. OLAVE'S CUBS.

Like everything else this term, Cub activities have been rather restricted owing to the bad weather. The Cub but became uninhabitable and all our meetings were held in J I and II form-room. Space was limited, but we have had an exciting time learning the Jungle dances and playing a variety of indoor games. Several Cubs have passed tests and are well on the way to their First Star, and we should all like to congratulate Hopkins on gaining his Second Star.

The Inter-Six 'Competition was a close contest this term between the Red and Yellow Sixes, and the Red just managed to keep its place at the top by one mark. The Green Six was third and Blue fourth.
