EDITORIAL.
" . . . . Tunnnronr, since brevity is the soul of wit and
tediousnessthe limbs and outward flburishes, I will be brief
" Some editorials are short. Many are witty. Far
too man)ahowever, are too long, and hence, though their wit
.be subtle, they appear tedious, because,by their length, they
lose the epigrammatic sparkle which denotestrue wit.
We have great pleasure in announcing that this effort
intends to give no opportunity for criticism on grounds of
length, although any wit which may, unknown to us, appear
herein, will probably be thought not at all subtle.
It ouly remainsto be said that the schoolis evbr flourishing
even as it " puisues the even tenour of its way." The. gallant
firewatchers still eagerly await their call to arms, and well
fortify themselvesagainst its coming with hot, black (usually
sugarless)tea, ald while away the " still watches of the night "
with literature kindly provided by the staff. The " Clerk of
'
the Weather " (a prosperous Old Boy') has again smiled
the
schooland a full sportsseasonhasbeenpossible.

Nevertheless it may possibly happen circa 1960 e.o. that
the school will celebratethe coincidenceof the Annual Athletic
Sports with a warm, sunny, day.

CRICKET NOTES.
Tur war has affected cricket more than ever this year.
Lack of petrol has led to rougher games-daywickets, shortage
of barbed wire had led to depredations by local urchins,
mainly at the expenseof the nets, and the First Eleven boundary
is now a meadow. The First, " under 15 " and " under 14 "
elevens, have been comparatively unaffected,but " village "
cricket has been the order of the day in the lower games.

This visit of a whole choir to another school is quite a

THE SCHOOL SCOUTS.
Since last term, the troop has been re-formed, consequently the Patrol competitions have been much fairer.
During the Easter vacation, 14 Scouts accompanied by
. Cross, camped at Castle Ashby. A keen competition was
held there between the camp patrols, the Pigeons, and the
Pewitts. It was won by the Pigeons after a supreme effort
in a wide-game.
At Whitsun a troop camp was held, also at Castle Ashby.
Despite the fact that it rained almost incessantly during our
stay, we all enjoyed ourselves.
An excellent shield, made bv Shelford. has been verv
keenly contested for by all the Pairols. So far the Bulldogs
have held it twice and the Otters once.

We fared-very badly in the Cross-courttry Competition"
but otherwise we have either won or have been runners-up
which was very disappointing,
- as we were in the lead on points
rieht up to the lasf event. We tied with the Gryphons for
th"e Reiay Cup, however' We . congratulate Shipman on
winning every senior running event.

Since the last issue of the magazinethe House's position
in the school has improved. We were runners-up for the
Rugger Cup, although the Juniors were unbeaten. We have
not been too successfulin the cricket-matches,but we hope
to beat the Dragons in the last matches. We were third in
the l4lusic Competition, but the individual items were very
gooo.
Although the middle cross-country team ran excellently,
we having the first three runners home, Bayes first, then
Bridgeford and Britton, we gradually lost our chancesthrough
weaker Senior and Junior teams. In the Athletic Sports
the middle-house again ran well, being chiefly responsible
for our gaining the Athletic and Relay Cups. We share the
latter with the Dragons. D. F. White won Mrs. Woolley's
Cup for the High Ju.tp.
This term we have been fairly well represented in the
School Cricket XI's : Dainty, D. White, Bon{, Butler and
Streeton have representedus in the lst XI. Tavlor and K.

We have high hopes of winning the Swimming Cup in
the forthcoming sports.
We are very sorry to have lost Mr. Dunning who has
joined the R.A.F. and we wish him every success. We are
very glad to welcome Mr. Ward in his place, who has already
put in a great deal of work for us.
