There have be路en no changes to rccorcl in the life of the o-chool; Qur half -year activities have been as usual. The cricket season, which concluded in March, seems to have been an int,eresting ::lnd .successful season, and lhe football season has commenced brightly. The Debating Society term has suiTered more from the interruptions causcd by holidays than in other ycars anel does noloffer much to comment on. In lhe athleti life of the school alon'~ there h~ls been a de,路elopmenl. The annual sports meetin~') in spite of the misO'i"ings we had ::tbout the success o,i a full day's sports, revealed how keen ';ven less gifted boys are when lhey arc ol'fered races to compete in where the result is not of great import.ance 茅lnd the competitio,] not too cia. e. I n the past "'e hm'e stagcd a championsh ip meeting, in pr.eparation for the inter-schools e,-ents, in "hich 15 (Jr 20 boys from each of our four House. have competed ;tnel boys unlikely to win points ha,-e been passed by. This -,car, in the belief that participation in the inter-schoob mceting sen-ed no useful purpose, "e withdrew from it and organised an ,Imbitious progr:lmme of handicap races, ,,-alking- races, sack nlces and obstacle races ill addition to the tradition,tJ champi()n~hip events_ The respon, e of the school ,,';1S astonishing, and thr 'e hundred boys took p<trt in the 72 events ",hich made up the programme, The spons COl1lmenced at 10 o'clock and eoncludcd al 5.40, ten minutes after the time wc h8c1 predicted; for in an undertaking of the magnitude ai this year's "e had planned the programme car.cfully, allotting a certain tim(' to each race. 'Ve ha\'e, II e hope, established a precedent and, certain of the keenness of the boys, may look forward to sports meetings of the future modelled on the recent meeting, the most succe. sful \\e hm'e hael during the last fourt.een years at least. On t\\'o evenings, in ]\[arch and ,'-pril, }\Ifr. Cornwcll and Murray Cornwell, an Old Boy and a fine qU~lrter-l1liler, broughl their Cine Jantem and exhibited t\\'o films belongingla the Celtic Harriers, onc a picture of local athletes taken by 1\1r. Cornwell, the other a film of the Olympic Game~. On lhe first e,-ening, Mr. Penlland Smith gave a demonstration of athletic exercises and passed on to our runners 1ll8ny tips \\'hich he had learned during his cnreer. That the school might sec the film of the Olympic (;amcs, 1'v[r. Thorp very kindly g,l\ e up an c,'('ning- on 'I路hich he had intended to call a meeting of the Dcbating , ociety. Till December, when as usual our pages ",ill be devoted to their achie,'ements, \\'oC have nothing to record of the acti,'ities of our junior scholars. The \\'ork pl:occecling- at the Junior School at present is ,,"ark in preparation for the exhibition and the ,JI1nual concert, "hieh \l'e hope will be as succcssful as they havc becn for the p:lst fi,'e or six years,

De bating Society Notes Follo,,·ing ClIsl·OIl1, lht.; Society cOl11menced its session with a " Hat \ïght." A large audience listened amusedly to speakers on such, <Iried subjects as Sun-bathing, Horrors of the Countryside, I)yspcptic Capitalists, (~ood Food . .\ second meeting was held 011 23rd April "hen Messrs. E. \\ïse, S. Katz, I\. Lewis proposed that .• l'ncler \-lodern Conditions it Diclalorship is lhe Best Form of Go,·ernment," and were opposed by :\lessrs. S. :\ly'rs, f\. Lap, I. Ellefson. The mover.~ of the mOlion follo',·ed the argument that the transaction of the affairs of il modern community is a highly skilecl lask, calling in a pre-cminent degree fnr lhl' exercisc of those talents and faculties, courage, illtelligence, originality of thouo-ht ancl breadth of outlook b) \\ hich a few, <lnd only a fe"ll", members of Our species in each generalion arc distinguished. And the lesson to be learned from the" talkics " is th;tt it is as idle lO expect these qualities to he displayed by lhos\: whose power depends upon their ability to appeal la the ;JI'erage ,oler, as it is to expect high art in a form of entertainment ,,·hich appei1ls only to the m·erage audience, In opposition to these arguments the House heard that democracy alone can gi,·e li:c and meaning to the political whole. It does nOL blister men's minds, but pern1its freedom of t.hought. Democracies are l_eace-Io,·ing nat.ions, paying 3 per cent. dividencls. on "ar sLOck and 50 per cent. dividends to munition manufacturers .. Democrilcy means government by the people, and only in following this icleal can true justice be made the basis of the state . .\ colloquium was held on the 21st May and attendance \Vas limiled lo t,,·ent)' senior boys. The discussion centred on· the question whether" Class distinction should be abolished." The following took n prominent part: Messrs. P. Shields, E. \Vise, S. i\lyers, J. Brink, E. Stewart, S. Katz, A. Fine.

Many good points, such as the loss of cultural v~t1ucs, were put forward, but the phenomenon of class-distinction was eventually found to be too varied and complicnled to be pressed within the limits of a night's discussion and, therefore, no final decision v..-as reached. The met:ting was attended by Dr. G. Bobbins, "'ho again showed his interest in the Society by acting as co-leader, and, as such, served the colloquy ,'.:ell by guiding it along a broad anel definite chann.cl.

Two of our runners were outstanding: Girdwood in the Open and Fine in the Under 16 evcnts. Girdwooc1 must bc congratulated on winning thc Open Victor Ludorum for the second year. He ran splendidly in the 440, 220 and 100 yards races, which h<; "'on with moderilte times; this, howevcr, may ha"e been due lo the slight wind which was blowino- against Ihc sprinter~ during the aFtcrnoon while the finals were being decided. Fine won the Cup for the Junior Championship by il margin of two points over Bleach, of Wellington. BIcach is LO bc complimented on his excellent running, as he was a close second to Fine in t'hree events. Thcsc times were very good, being the salllC as thc times for thc corresponding open events.

He was naturally selected la go on tour with the team and played in three away maches. His figures were 0 for 145 runs scored off 51 o"ers during lhe record Natal innings of 660 for 6 (an excellent In'erage of runs per over), 1 for 11 against the Eastern Province and 1 Jar 46 against Border. The present team are looking forward to the chance of spoiling his figures in lhe annual match against the Old Boys. A'rlhur Civhs, who was a class-male of Pickup's, distinguished himself in December when, afler spending se"eral years in an insurance office, he had lhe degree of B.A. conf.crred on him by the V.C.T. He is no\\' enrolled in the Faculty 0,[ Educaliorl. At the same ceremony IV.

Annual General Meeting The Annuni General ~leCling \Vas held on 9th June in the Dining-room at the Bonrding House. The Office-benrers elected fOI-the year 1937-1938 \Vere:President: R. T. Fclbert. \ïce- President: M. Ackerman. Secreta ry : J. Pickup. Treasurer: J. Cartwright. Committee: R. T . .lohnson, R. Cpton, 1. Friedlander, C. Sim., G. Macinto h, E. Lincey. At the conclusion of formnl business and :lftel- an interval ·during which refreshments \Vere prol'idee! by ~,Irs. Clegg, members were entertained to a most amusing exhibition of conjuring tricks by Mr. Halstend nnd p:lrty. Since the Treasurer's report is always an inelex to the prosperity of a Cnion, \l'e hal'e decided to publish here the report read to the meeting by our Treasurer :-1st June, 1937. Mr. Chairman anel Gentlemcn, J have much pleasure in submilling a report on the Rel'enue and Expenditure of the L'nion for the past t\Vel\'e months. The ba~ncc in the Bank al the close of the last financial year ,amounted lO £29 Is. 9d., ",hel-eas the balance at present amo~nts to £33 18s. 2d., leaving an excess of Revenue ol'er Expenditure for the year of £4 165. 5cl. At a first glance, this would appear ,;atisfactory but, on going into further detail, 'l'e find that the total amount received for subscriptions llmountecl to £29, which represents II mcmbership of only 116. Although this i an increase ov.er last year II hen the total subscriptions amounted to £23 16s., it seems absurd that \Vc cannot increa. e our membership considerab~y. The next item of Revenue is the Receipts for the Annual Dinner, which amounted to £5 2s. against an Expenditure of [,6 155. I think you must aJJ reali!'e thatlhis is most uns:.1tisfactory, and 1 can only hope that at our next dinner then~ \Viii be a much 1ncreased turnout. I ilO\\' ",ish to refer to our Annual Dance which was held at the Hotel Rio GrancJe, at i\[uizenberg. This, I am sure you "'ill :Ill agr (' \\'ith mc, was a great socinl success, and fortunately I am able to report that finan ially it \\'a_ also successful. The Rel'enue amounted to [16 15s. against an expenditure of .[14 14s. \Ve have again distributed t\Vo copies of the School Magazine to each member during the year, and the total exp.enditure unde)' 1his he<1cJing amounted to £15 3s. 6d.
