"Slings and Arrows"

TEMPLE

Again, Temple won the Work Cup. This was partly due to the large number of prizewinners in the House. They were: M. W. Bainbridge, K. N. G. Benson, A. S. Bowie, N. A. Cameron, N. R. Fridge, T. A. Gibson, P. L. Hall, D. J. G. Livingston, J. R. Lund, J. A. Mitchell, D. P. Rounthwaite, R. Sharpe and T. J. Young.

The monitors were T. J. Young, M. W. Bainbridge, P. L. Hall, R. J. Hamilton-Williams, M. J. S. Muncer, C. A. Myers and I. Robinson.

The favourable weather conditions made Athletics much more enjoyable this Term. The House came fifth in both the Standards and the Sports Day events. But the Senior and Intermediate Relay Teams did extremely well to come second in their events. Muncer deserves special mention for his enthusiastic leadership.

Bainbridge, Hall and Robinson played in the 1st XV and Young and Mitchell played for the 3rd XV. Heddle, R. M. Coates-Walker and Newdick also represented School teams.

The Junior House Team, led by P. M. Shepherd, went down to a strong Manor side 27-0; nevertheless, the score does not reflect their effort. The Senior House Team, captained by Bainbridge, lost to the Grove 25-3. The game was settled in the opening minutes when the Grove made a decisive attack. Apart from this our Team held their opposition very well.

The House Music Competitions were also held this Term. In the singing, the House won with "The Sloop John B". We came third in the instrumental competition playing a march by Lully. Our Captain of Music, Myers, made much of the House's musical resources and organised practices very efficiently. T.J.Y.

"SLINGS AND ARROWS"

WHO WROTE THEM?

When W. S. Gilbert was told that a certain actor was to play Hamlet, he said: "Good; now we shall know whether Shakespeare or Bacon wrote the plays". Asked to explain this, he answered: "Dig 'em both up and see which one's turned in his grave".

* * * "B— has now reached the firm conclusion that the plays were not written by Shakespeare, but by another man of the same name."

KNOW YOUR CRITICS

I dreamt one night that Shakespeare's ghost Sat for a Civil Service post. The English paper set that year Contained a question on King Lear, Which Shakespeare answered very badly Because he hadn't studied Bradley. 18
