friends, to whom the Exhibition Committee is most grateful. Among these were a pattern Generator and Television Receiver (Messrs. Cussins and Light, Ltd.), an Automatic Telephone Exchange (the Telephone Manager, York, and F. N. Pallier, Esq.), which was ably explained by Murray, a Phase Contrast Microscope, Captain Scott's Theodolite and an Extract from Captain Scott's Log (Messrs. Cooke, Troughton and Simms, Ltd.), Oxy-acetylene Welding (J. Gray, Esq., Messrs. Forsselius, Ltd), Instruments for Small Ship Navigation (Messrs. B. Cooke & Son, Ltd., Hull), demonstrated by Kay and Jordan, and Electronic Devices (Mullard Electronic Devices, Ltd., by the courtesy of J. W. O'Donnell, Esq.). In addition, Mr. D. V. Marshall lent X-ray negatives and bones, which N. E. V. Marshall demonstrated most lucidly.

Inevitably at the close of such an exhibition as this the questions are asked "was it a success?", "What has been gained by it?". The objects of the Exhibition were set out in the programme, to enable parents and friends to see what the School is normally doing in Science and to extend the interests both of boys and of visitors in the more advanced applications of Science. In these objectives success can certainly be claimed. Perhaps even more valuable is the effect and influence on those boys taking part. Over 211 boys in the Senior School, apart from those contributions to the Geography Section whose names do not appear in the programme, and members of the Junior School, took part in the preparation and demonstrations in the Exhibition : all showed confidence and enthusiasm, and can justly feel that it was their combined efforts, inspired by the unflagging efforts of the Science Staff, which made the Seventh Science Exhibition of 1951 a great success.
