THE JUNIOR SCHOOL.. St. Olave's started the Summer Term with a very "full house", though we only admitted five new boys. We have given up saying anything about "record" numbers, and we simply state that the roll of boys in the Junior School this term is I;8. We will add that we managed to seat them all quite comfortably, except at "Assembly." We welcomed Mr. G. E. K. Reynolds, O.P. on the staff, and we very much appreciated his hard work for us in Form, in Games and in training the Cubs. By the end of term we learnt with regret that he must leave us for Cambridge, and so we can but wish him every success, and hope we shall see him again. The prize winners of the Easter holiday Nature Study work were : Form Ji., x, J. Ford; z, J. Leighton and B. Cashmere; Form Jii., x, D. Rymer; z, D. Kellett. Form Jiii., i J. Nicholson; z M. Kidson. It had been decided that St. Olave's should go ahead with cricket practice and games, leaving the Sports Day to be held later in the term. Perhaps it was just as well because at least four successive games days were completely rained off, so there was no cricket, and we could not have practised for Sports. In fact, for various reasons our 1st XI has had a most disappointing season, as most of the schools who were able to play us, were not strong enough to play our 1st. This was very bad luck for Mortimer, who we feel sure would have proved a very able Captain. The Swimming Baths were opened this year at a later date than most of us can remember. This was due to the cold and dull weather, but, once opened, the baths were as popular as ever, and the following boys passed the full Junior School swimming test and obtained their Certificate :—M. Bealing, J. Burdass, I. Cobham, R. Cole, J. L. Fenton, C. D. Goode, M. Goodburn, D. Hopkins, D. Holmes, M. E. Kershaw, P. Knowlson, J. B. Mortimer, D. Walter. Quite a number of other boys passed the ordinary one length test, but were not able to pass a length swimming on the back. We would like to thank Miss M. Mason and Miss M Bainton for the valuable help they gave to learners. Our Junior School Sports Day was held on Friday, 14th July. It was very nice to see such a large company of parents and friends, and w,e were most fortunate in having a really nice fine day. All the arrangements and preliminary work by Mr. Walshaw and the Staff were well rewarded by the great success of the occasion. Mrs. D. Cameron—mother of the Head Boy of the Junior School—very kindly presented the prizes, which were again stamps for Savings Certificates. On points gained the Spartans were the winning House. The detailed results are given below. We have now obtained three House Shields for Athletics, Cricket, and Rugger respectively. They have been very beautifully illuminated and lettered by Mr. R. L. Hart, and will be fixed on the wall in the entrance hall of the Junior School in the New Building. We are very much indebted to Mr. Hart for his kind and expert help. The Swimming Sports were held on z 5 th July, the day being quite fine and sunny. Mrs. Gibson—the mother of a winner, the boy who had been longest in the Junior School—presented the prizes. Turning to our scholastic successes we congratulate E Thompson on winning the Pochin Scholarship to St. Peter's, and also D. Hopkins and B. Mortimer who gained awards in the scholarship examination. We should also like to congratulate A. Cameron who passed the entrance examination to Marlborough College very creditably. The full list of special and Form prizewinners will be published for Speech Day which will be held next term. 27 ,
