The Music Society

J. J. F. Walker, who all made well-planned speeches and were congratulated by the chairman. The motion was carried by nineteeen votes to six.

The last meeting of the term was an informal discussion at which any member was invited to make a short speech on any subject he chose. This speech was then open to criticism from the rest of the house. Several interesting topics were discussed, but space does not permit of them all being mentioned here.

In conclusion, I think we may claim that this term has been yet another successful one in the long history of the Debating Society.

THE MUSIC SOCIETY

This term the Music Society welcomed its Chairman, Mr. Waine, who has but recently returned from his War Service in the Royal Navy. The Society extends its best wishes to its late Honorary Secretary, J. D. Swale, who, after a valuable period of devoted service to the Society and to the music of the School in general, is now in the Army.

Under the active guidance of Mr. Waine, a much longer series of Sunday Concerts was embarked on than had hitherto been found practicable. Numerous gramophone recitals, a few instrumental concerts, and lastly a sing-song of carols were presented. Perhaps the last item proved the most popular with members of the School, but all the other concerts were well attended. Indeed much more interest was shown in the Society than has been the case for some considerable time. A varied programme has been arranged for next term, with many more instrumental concerts, and it is felt that this past term's success augurs well for the future of music in the School.

THE SCIENCE SOCIETY

It is with great pleasure that we welcome back to the Society Mr. D. K. Crews, M.A., and Mr. E. S. Jeffs, M.A., after periods of active service. Mr. Crews, who returned first, has already taken part in the Society's activities, and we look forward with keen anticipation to hearing what Mr. Jeffs can tell us about radar.

The two sections of the Society were amalgamated at the beginning of the term and the result was at once apparent. Four meetings have beeen held, the average attendance being between 40 and 50—in spite of a subscription !
