EDITORIAL. * TT is customary to walk about nowadays with long hair— even the barber complains that there are too many heads to trim. The trouble is -that everybody (including the barber) ( has so much to do and so little time in which to do it. The reason is obvious. How many remember school life in peace time? Leisure hours we enjoyed in abundance; chocolate was unrationed; the South Field, was mown; and passing motorists drew up to admire the pleasing appearance of the School. But now the grass has grown up, though the chapel roof is still visible from the road, which is either deserted or eftioing with the noise of hurrying Army lorries. During these four solemn years of war, however, we have become so accustomed to this state of affairs that many of us are apt to forget that life was once very different, and we fail, perhaps, to realise the magnitude of the revolution which has taken place. Ever since the last war a long procession of changes has been queueing up outside a doorway which the present war has opened; and it remains to be seen how these changes will agree with each other when the struggle is over. But meantime no one can afford to be idle, for not onl/must the war be won by "blood, sweat, and tears,'-' but equal sacrifice must be made to keep the peace; and the atmosphere of uncertainty in which we live is preparing our minds for the future. Present circumstances afford us invaluable experience and knowledge which we should store up for times to come. So let us go on as we have done in the past, cheerfully and with a good will, and remember always the things we are seeing and hearing and learning day by day. SCHOOL NOTES.

Wheeley J. W. Williams J. N. Wise C. A. Worssam F 8i6 C. C. Mr. Rhodes, when he was Headmaster, did a great deal for Cranleigh; one of the best'things he did was to bring with him, from Ardingly, Mr. Growhurst, to become a 'Chief corner-stone ki that rebuilding of the School's life which Mr. Rhodes began. It is hard to know where to begin the catalogue of C. C.'s activities at Cranleigh. In teaching, he showed a characteristic disinterestedness by being ready to abandon his favourite subject, classics, to take over the hitherto somewhat scorned subject of geography. Geography soon ceased to be scorned. And it now became a living thing, stretching its roots beyond the Form room to points such as the rain gauge in the garden of Rhian Cottage. He was Housemaster of II North .from 1912 to 1936, and again for a time during the present war. As one who had good opportunities to judge it the writer can testify to his devotion here—with confidence that anyone who was a member of the House during that time would be eager to add his own testimony. If he had a fault as a Housemaster it was one shared by all Housemasters—an inability at times to conceive that some member of his House could really be as wicked as his actions proved him to be. He had more than one period in command of the O.T.G., and produced a spirit of keenness and willing discipline which is not inevitably characteristic of O.T.C. contingents. For a long time, too, he shouldered the laborious task of training the Shooting. VIII, in petrol-ridden days when this involved two 'journeys a week to the far-off Bisley Range. He became -School Librarian at the moment when Mr. Williams's generosity made this a far more exacting post than it had been, and the organisation of the new rooms, the arrangement and cataloguing of the books, are his work. When the present Headmaster revived the post of Second Master one of his reasons for doing so must have been that the then senior member of the Staff was so obviously suited to fill it. The writer is glad of this chance'to thank C. C. for the tact and patience with which he carried out perhaps the most important function of a Second Master—that of keeping the other members of the Staff in order. There is no space to do more than mention other things —organisation of School Examinations, supervision of 8r7 Victory Digging, and so on. And nothing has been said so far about games. He would not claim to have been an athlete; yet the writer can remember a figure under a Cryptics' cap executing not a few cunning leg-glides or taking more than one sudden wicket for the Masters or^he Platypods, a tireless leader of forwards for the nowdefunct Testers' XV, a dashing outside-right sending in fierce "centres" on the hockey field. And he found time amid all his other work to coach for hours at House nets and referee or umpire innumerable games. Granleigh has indeed much for which to thank C. C. It has only one thing for which to reproach him—that he left us too soon. But we will forgive him that, because it has meant that he has been able to accept a new home and work not far away. We wish him and Mrs. Crowhurst many happy years at Dunsfold, and hope we shall often see them here. SCHOOL OFFICIALS. Senior Prefect P. McNamara. School Prefects: — H. D. R. Smith, W. L. Passmore, R.

During the winter months Vachery provides a wide field for observation, and in the summer Smithwood Common is as good a place as any for watching. This year it is particularly noteworthy that pairs of corncrakes, golden-crested wrens, and wrynecks have nested within a mile of Cranleigh Church. P. H. STIRZAKER. ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. The Society is very sorry that Mr. Stevens, the president, has had to resign owing to other calls on his time. We are very lucky, however, in gaining a new president in Mr. Morlin, who has already shown his-active keenness in a most interesting lecture on church architecture. We thank Mr. Stevens for all the work he did in arranging meetings and excursions during his time as president. M. A. G.-J. THE PURVIS SOCIETY. The following meetings have been held during the past year (Saturdays unless otherwise stated):— 1942. October 31.—A. E. D. Mitton, Esq.: "North Africa: Its People and Customs." November 21.—Rev. V. 0. Howson: "This Strange, Eventful History." December 5.—Lieut. V. A. Cox: "Naval Operations." 1943. February 27.—W. L. Reed, Esq.: "Modern British Music." March 26 (Friday) .—Mr. L.S. Michaelis: "Research." July 3.—W. Hewlett, Esq.: "Maurice Hewlett and Fairies." July 17.—Rev. J. S. Purvis. 821 THE MUSICAL SOCIETY. At the end of last Michaelmas'Term a meeting was held of boys interested in music. It was agreed that there should be some organisation available for boys who wished to further their musical education, and as the old Gramophone Society no longer fulfilled this end, it was decided that a Musical Society should be formed. Accordingly, at the beginning of the next term, B. S. Ker was elected President, together with representatives from each form throughout the School as a committee. The Society was declared open to the whole School without subscription. Concerts have been held regularly during the last two terms. Many of them have been presented by masters who are ipso facto vice-presidents. Mr. Allchin deserves special thanks for his invaluable assistance. A. M.L. THE WILLIAMS LIBRARY. RECENT ACCESSIONS.

I am writing these short notes on Whit-Monday night on my return from a most cheering Annual General Meeting of the School Mission. In these difficult days it was refreshing to find members of the School in such large numbers present at this meeting, in addition to a good number of Old Cranleighans. The Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year ending March 31st, 1943 is circulated with this number of The Cranleighan, therefore I need not use more valuable space, but commend this Report and Financial Statement to your notice in order that it may be realised that, in spite of present-day problems, the activities of the School Mission continue and the necessary financial support is still being generously provided. A. N. TURNER (School Missioner}. * SCHOOL DRAMA & "MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL" Most dramatic critics have the advantage over their readers of having at least read the play beforehand, or else knowing the players and their capabilities. This critic has no such advantage. But the very mention of the fact does bring out the existence of two school realities—and it applies to any school—either the author's meaning is too subtle or lofty for the audience to grasp, or else his work is so basically simple that he never gives the actors a chance to show their talents. Let us be candid and admit that in the past the dramatic taste of the School has largely depended on comedies and thrillers (Ambrose Applejohris Adventure was an example of both at once), with a yearly Shakespeare play to save its dramatic face. The acting and production were not at fault; their standard has always -been remarkably high. Rut apart from the crooks or gangsters, haunted libraries, broad comedies, and an occasional revue, there is nothing to suggest that the School has a very cultivated taste for anything else. Do we want culture and education in our entertainment? No, not all the time. Think of Macbeth's drunken porter and his comic scene immediately after Duncan's death. But unless the School wants -to leave Speech Hall with something solid over which to chew (a simple social truth for example), then we may as well go back to our bagsnatching crooks and their paste pearls all over again. The fault, Horatio, lies not in our plays, but in ourselves. S. Simon Stylites gave us something to think about, probably a little too much. So did People At Sea, in spite of its "stageyness." The main faults lay with the authors, or, rather, with the choice of authors. But they showed what could be done. What happens when a first-class professional company of players performs Eliott's Murder in the Cathedrals I think everyone understood the drift of the play and the significance of characters like the Tempters. Were we restive in the "sermon"? Many afterwards exclaimed that they never noticed how long the monologue was. Lately the School has become play-conscious, and so was able to appreciate the quality of the acting, which was faultless in timing and gesture. It responded loudly to the comic relief after the murder, when the knights made their different excuses; but I know we all found it a mental wrench to return to the cathedral atmosphere, with the monks' psalms in plain:song and the women weeping over their lost benefactor. It needs an intellect equal to modern verse to switch from one such extreme to another. This explains why the "women" were not fully appreciated; they belonged to the poetic side of Eliott, who, though he is the leading modern poet, is yet very difficult to understand. No one can understand Eliott in two hours. Let us admit that parts of the play were caviare to the general, and leave it at that. Without being refined virtuosos, we may hope for more of this kind; we can certainly do with it. R. A. L. H. PEOPLE AT SEA. By J. B. Priestley. Presented by Masters and Boys, Saturday, June i2th.

Furniture loaned by Messrs. David Mann & Sons, There can be no doubt that the evening was a success. The Devonport Speech Hall was crowded with boys and 8*5 friends from the village, and the enthusiasm at the end of the play could be restrained no more, and the .profound observations that close the play were totally lost in the applause. No one can say that the players were not worthy of that applause, for many less broadminded schoolmasters would have hesitated at risking their dignified reputations in such parts as a drunken sot or a terrified rat-like little steward, but not so tlftit night! The cast .with one accord flung themselves enthusiastically into their parts and played them with a zeal and recklessness that delighted the audience. The choice of play was judicious. There is hardly any difficult action, and the play relies on interest gained by the interplay of the somewhat diverse characters left upon a derelict ship that is liable to sink at any moment. Whether people in such a predicament would discuss social problems with such abandon as Mr. Priestley dictates is a matter for debate, and at times it seemed possible that the play might fail because of the slowing up of-the action caused by Mr. Priestley's inability to resist sermonising at the mos't ridiculous moments; but this difficulty was overcome with great skill by the producer, who wisely kept the characters on the move, continually varying the grouping. Other obstacles were the slightly weak third act, which had to be made interesting, and the continuous succession of separated dialogues which had to be blended together so that they appeared to follow naturally after each other. Both these faults were rectified with great efficiency by both producer and players. Except for a slight explosion from the footlights in Act I the technical efficiency was extremely high. The scenery, which was built and painted entirely by members of the School, was pleasing to the eye, and the lighting was imaginative, the shadows on the sky-drop being probably due to the shattered state of the footlights cable during this act. The most remarkable thing about the play, however, was the way in which each part seemed made for the actor. Mr. Wicks, forsaking mathematics for philosophy, was Professor Pawlett to the last sentence. We do not know Mr. Scott's private vices, but he certainly made a fine job of the part of the disillusioned, drunken author. We shall never forget Mr. W. T. Loveday's nasal twang and his touching portrayal of the American millionaire who finally decides to "go out West to cook," or Mrs. Dow^s's magnificent performance as a spoilt, nervy, and declining film star. This is to name only a few of the performances, for we must needs exhaust pages if we are to do justice to all of the cast, from Miss Gibb, who gave such a magnificent portrayal of the old lady, down to the two boys who showed us that those under eighteen can act just as well as those over it. People At Sea broke new ground*at Cranleigh, and the utmost credit must go to the producer for his achievement. Let us hope that we shall see many more of his productions here in the future. V. G. D.

The production of the Shakespeare play set for School Certificate has been a tradition for so long that it was good to see that the progress of the war, with its contingent shortening of people's spare time, had not managed to stop it. Mr. J. R. Stevens added to the cares of producer the weight of the title role, and it speaks well for his courage and tenacity of purpose that neither was allowed to suffer, despite the shortage of materials available for scenery and costumes. It required a strong hand and a firm judgment to decide to dress Macbeth in the costumes of the Student Prince, and the result, if at first a little startling to the conservative Shakespearean, was colourful and stood out well against the plain setting. , In his scenes with Lady Macbeth, and in his soliloquies, Mr. Stevens was at his best, while in his scenes with the younger members of his company he toned down his style to suit their less experienced deliveries. Mrs. Fairtlough is well known to Cranleigh audiences, but we have never seen her better than as Lady Macbeth. Her sleepwalking scene held the Hall in a silence that was at times almost eerie. Supporting her in this was M. D. Sutton, who gave one of the finest little character studies as the Doctor that I have seen for some time. He has the ability of making the best of his own part without in any way taking attention from the central figure. We have come to expect a good performance from such a stalwart as R. A. L. Hull, and he did not disappoint us. As the Porter, he gave full measure to the humour of the part. I was particularly pleased with the restrained emotion of N. K. G. Rosser as Macduff, and with the poise of N. Hacking as Young Siward, while M. D. H. Thomson as King Duncan and L. Fison as his Son were well cast in their roles of somewhat bewildered royalty; they both have pleasant voices but they have still a lot to learn about deportment. I. G. Gibson invested the part of the First Murderer with a gangster touch which was at times rather too much for the gravity of the audience. I liked J. M. Bradley best when he was a ghost, perhaps because he had then to be silent, for, although he did his best in a very difficult part, his diction is not good. P. Hutchins, as the rather swashbuckling Lennox, was rather reminiscent of one of Mr. Gochran's young gentlemen but looked as though he had worn a cloak and sword most of his young life; he has a poise and freshness which is good to watch. The green fire and smoke of the three witches, M. A. Griffith-Jones, N. G. Lion and A. W. Pollock, was impressive and they were well served by the lighting department. The delivery of their lines had all the venom that the parts demanded. The principals were well supported by the smaller parts, each of whom added his small contribution to the final polish of the show. The slight adjustments of setting between scenes and the constant change of lighting, make-up and costume, and the synchronisation of the sound effects spoke well for the team work of those "back stage," and although they were unseen the effect of their presence gave the play a slickness and balance that was at times almost professional. Mr. Stevens is to be congratulated on the way in which he has triumphed over the many difficulties that the war has placed in the way of artistic achievement. A. T. S. MUSIC. Music Competitions.

A new feature of musical activities during the past year has been the opportunity afforded the School of hearing the four concerts given in connection with the Cranleigh Music Society. The School was exceptionally fortunate in being able to hear the Isolde Menges String Quartet on May 9th. The programme included a superb performance of the Brahms clarinet quintet, with Pauline Juler. The combination of clarinet and strings is never easy, but the tone quality and blending was perfect. The Wolff Serenade for strings and the Haydn Quartet, Op. 77, No. 4, completed a never-to-be-forgotten programme. It is greatly to be hoped that these concerts will be continued in the coming year. p j^ The School (Concert. June i8th.

ALDRIDGE To do complete justice to the quality of this concert is impossible in the space allotted to me, since that would involve a detailed analysis of the various sections of the orchestra and the extraordinary advance shown by individual boy members as a direct result of Mr. Allchin's genius. Suffice it to say that both wood-wind and strings showed as marked an improvement on least year's performance as did that performance on its predecessor. 83o The Egmont Overture, with which the programme opened, was particularly well played; the Handel Concerto was clean-cu't and vigorous, as Handel should be; while in the Rachmaninoff item, played with immense verve by the Rev. N. E. Wilkinson, the modulating passages were rendered with real delicacy and feeling. If there was a fault to be found anywhere I should place it in the Mozart Symphony, where the strings responded rather less briskly to the baton than elsewhere. As for the individual performances, I tender my sincere congratulations to Lidstone and Oldroyd, while doubting whether any public school in the kingdom could have produced a better rendering of the Schumann Variations for Two Pianofortes than that given by Pollock and Loft. In conclusion, I should like to record my personal appreciation of the work done by the Choir in VaughanWilliams's England, my England, so rousingly sung by Mr. Aldridge. The quality of tone in the boys' voices was really inspiring, and delighted the ear. W. H. VERSE. HISTORICAL CLERIHEWS. Beaumont and Fletcher Frequently muttered, "We'll bet 'cha Nobody has the gumption to state That we wrote Henry VIII I" Sir Francis Bacon Didn't half take on When he heard it suggested that he Had put Bohemia on the sea. Sir Walter Raleigh Wore a new costume daily. That cloak he threw in the mud Was a dud.

I dreamed I saw a squad of boys Departing on a spree. I dreamed again, and saw it was A period of P.T. "This exercise will do," I said, "For you, but not for me." I dreamed I saw the First XI Playing one afternoon. I dreamed again, and saw it was A tropical monsoon. It was so very strange a sight I fell down in a swoon. I dreamed I saw a plot of ground Where School potatoes grew. I dreamed again, and saw it was A tiger from the Zoo. "This kind of thing," I told myself, "Will really never do." I dreamed I saw a large round pot Of rationed marmalade. I dreamed again, and saw it was A J.T.C. parade. It looked so very smart that I Began to feel afraid. I dreamed I saw a desert where There was no food 'at all. I dreamed again, and saw it was The School's large dining-hall. I ran to get permission signed To telephone Whitehall. I dreamed it was the end of term, And time to catch the train. I dreamed, and saw another term Had just begun again. And this, I felt, was far too great A tax upon mv brain. BUZ. Letters to the Editor. * To the Editor of "The Cranleighan." CAMBRIDGE LETTER. The formation of a Cambridge O.C. Society last year has given the job of writing this letter to the Hon. Secretary, and as he can be readily identified the scope for indiscretions is considerably reduced. The new University Naval Division has brought P. D. Adams, of Magdalene, up on a Short Course. We are getting used to the sight of him in uniform. Other members are G. K. Jennings, of Trinity, who usually seems to parade in mufti owing to "pressure of work,'"although a visit to his rooms did not seem to confirm this; and J. P. West-Taylor, of the Hall, who is bound for the F.A.A. and moves in an aura of music and rowing among other things. Magdalene has seen several O.C.'s, including D. E. Watson and R. C. Soukup, who were up on a R.A.F. Short Course, and were the terror of the Magdalene scrum, the latter playing occasionally for the LX Club, while the former bolstered the College choir. A. D. Caesar has carried all before him in the music world. Our only method of keeping pace with him is by reading the Sunday Times and the C.U.M.S. programmes. R. A. Jennings has been getting around in his own quiet way; while J. D. Short, of Sidney, has only been seen in the distance. G. A. H. Cpoksley, of John's, has combined the diverse arts of growing a moustache to add prestige to his H.G. commission and rowing in the L.M.B.C. boat that won the Junior Eights at Oxford with being an embryo parson bound for Oxford next year. At Bart's R. Morgan has been playing cricket and trying to escape the notoriety of his room-mate, while D. K. Tucker has been combining his own housekeeping with a study of Egyptian architecture, being able to produce technical terms with embarrassing readiness. The virtual ceasing of Arts Courses next year will still further reduce the numbers of the University, but the indications are that the representatives of Cranleigh will continue to nourish. Yours, etc., CANTOC. Dear Sir, I should like to bring to your notice what seems a somewhat scandalous state of affairs. This School is situated in the country, and a fair number of its members are country-bred and intend to follow some calling connected with the country, and yet'scarcely anything is done in the way of allowing them to cultivate their own gardens or breed their own animals. Boys should surely be encouraged to have agricultural interests, especially in war time, and should be given instruction in the elements of husbandry. Hoping that this appeal will not pass by unheeded. I am, Yours, etc., AGRICOLA. SPORTS NOTES. HOCKEY, 1943. If it is not snow and ice, it is rain which prevents hockey for the first month of nine Easter terms out of ten. This time it was rain, and the grounds were quite waterlogged and unfit for play for the best part of the first month. During that time the House Fives Competition was completed, but it is rather a scandal that more people— other than the House pairs (three of them only, in each House) — do not play more regularly, especially when the weather makes the major games impossible. With six good courts available, these ought to be filled all the time, but they are not. Of keenness for hockey there is plenty, and most boys succeeded in getting regular games, thanks to there being more masters who are able and willing to coach than for the last few years. For once there were quite a number of promising forwards in 1st Scratch, but a dearth of good halves and backs—-though defensive play improved as the season progressed. An inability to flick or push the ball to the right was most marked, and this is where the asphalt or the gym. should be used more frequently for the purpose of practice. At present the type of so-called hockey being played on the asphalt does more harm than good. Grounds present a further problem — for with only one part-time groundsman and less than a quarter of the pre-war petrol supply, it is impossible for the grounds to be anything but bumpy. The light roller constantly applied by squads of boys does help —but our type of soil really needs the tractor-drawn heavy roller. The standard of hockey in 1st Scratch was about average — but, despite the faithful and constant help of Messrs. Jacob and Collinson with 2nd Scratch and Colts, the players of promise are few and far between. In addition, the standard of play in Junior House matches— though somewhat better than last year— is still deplorably low. Our first game, v. Kingston Grammar School, resulted in a win by five goals to 2, but their side was a much younger one than ours. We had a delightful game v. Wellington— the first for some years— and it was their greater thrust in and near the circle which enabled them to win 2—0, after we had had the best of the first half. Aldenham played a robust and disconcerting game, which suited 835 their rougher ground. We looked a more skilful side, but failed to adapt ourselves to the ground and credit must go to them for their vigorous and successful play. Result, lost 1—2. Two enjoyable drawn games were played with Middlesex Hospital (2—2) and the N.F.S. (3—3), and a good match with Charterhouse resulted in a win for us, 3—0. In the final game, v. the Sandhurst O.C.T.U., we were defeated 1—4. Of the side, Davies in goal, Smith at left back and G. L. Bennett at right-half were the most improved players. Sidders, at outside-right, showed good stickwork, but is rather slow for the position, and Jackson was preferred to Jones at centre-forward. Harvey and Bradley, in the two inside positions, did an enormous amount of work, but in their anxiety to help the defence were not always up for the attack. 1st XI: P. R. Davies; W. D. N. Vaughan, H. D. R. Smith; G. L. Bennett, J. W. E. Mark, P. D. Adams; S. Sidders, S. G. Harvey (captain), P. H. Jackson, J. M. Bradley, B. M. Rutherford. CRICKET. This season could hardly have been more successful. All six school matches and the match against the M.C.C. were won, and three half-day matches were unfinished. The chief credit for these successes is.due to our bowlers, G. L. Bennett, J. J. Walker and B. S. Ker, admirably backed up by everyone in the x field, in particular by J. M. Bradley, H. B. Hills, J. W. E. Mark and B. S. Ker; and in mentioning these an injustice is surely done to several others. J. W. Hackett has improved greatly as the season advanced; he has been consistently good, and has never let the side down as a wicket-keeper. Early in the season we suffered slightly from a lack of runs from the best batsmen, but excuses are reasonable, as so many matches were played in very difficult conditions, in which our opponents always did very much worse. As far as the batting is concerned, this has deservedly been Sadler's year. He is a fine opening batsman, who plays within his capabilities. He is steadily building up his strokes on a correct and simple style, and has shown the value of real concentration. A separate account of each match is unnecessary, as they have been so similar. We have invariably batted 836 first, and scored on an average 150 runs, which our opponents have found too many runs against good bowling and accurate fielding. The culmination to an excellent season was, however, at Epsom, where Epsom were dismissed before lunch for 27 runs, and we scored 140 for three wickets. On that day the team at last showed itself to be a powerful all-round side. G. L. Bennett, Sadler, J. J. Walker, Ker, and Bradley have been the most successful, and will all be very good cricketers so long as they keep in mind that there is always much to learn. Harvey also has played some useful innings, and deserves credit for curbing his natural impetuosity at critical times. We are fortunate in having C. W. L. Parker as our professional, as he has already shown us that he is much more than a first-class coach, and if the cricketers in the School take advantage of his great knowledge and generosity they must gain benefits which are afforded to few public school players. Mr. Blackshaw and Mr. Jacob have again given valuable help with the Colts and the Second XI, and I hope it is generally realised and appreciated how much time and trouble they take. Both the Colts and Second XI have done quite well. In the Colts, Pairbarns, B. A. Walker, Macpherson, Pollock, and Clark show promise, and will do well if they are keen enough to take the time and trouble necessary for improvement. I must criticise the Colts captain, however, for his failure to produce a real team in the field; this is inexcusable, and shows poor captaincy. And where are our future wicket-keepers? There is a place wide open in next year's XI for an adequate keeper. A mention should be made of our scorer, A. C. Phelps, who for the past two seasons has carried out this difficult task with enthusiasm and ingenuity. Through him players' successes, errors, and times are all on permanent record. The selected XI was: Ker, Harvey, Bradley, J. J. Walker, G. L. Bennett, Sadler, Hackett, P. W. Bennett, Mark, Hills, and Smith; whilst Jackson and Vaughan played in several matches. J.

Deprived of Sadler, who soon made himself indispensable to the First XI, and at times of B. A. Walker, they lacked solidity in the batting. The most consistent batsman was Pollock, though Stockton, Sindall and Macpherson made runs. Of the others, most promise was shown by Clark. Fairbarns, the Captain, and Macpherson bowled extremely well, and were assisted later in the term by Williams, who should do well as an "off spinner," and Nisbet. The fielding has not been up to standard, and few can hope to gain places in a first eleven where the fielding is on a level with that of the sides of 1942 and 1943. Results: v. St. John's, Leatherhead. Won by 31 runs.—Colts 95 (Stockton 26). St. John's, Leatherhead 64 (Maddocks 32, Fairbarns 5-^16). v. Christ's Hospital. Lost by six wickets.—Colts 77.

Davenport, P/Officer -S. F. Stevens, Sergeant-Pilot J. C. Jorgenson, Sergeant-A/G G. R. Ketcher. Six members of the Squadron attended an N.C.O.'s Course during April. The Course proved most helpful and instructive. Lieutenant A. Lamb, D.S.O., D.S.C., R.N., gave a most interesting lecture to the School on the Fleet Air Arm. 840 JUNIOR SCHOOL * SUMMARY FOR 1942 (3), 1943 (1), 1943 (2). Owing to the necessity of saving paper, due to war-time restrictions, events which have taken place at the Junior School since the last issue of "The Cranleighan" three terms ago must be referred to very briefly. CHANGES ON THE STAFF. We extend a hearty welcome to the Rev. L. E. Tanner as Chaplain to the Junior School in place of the Rev. C. Crowhurst, now Rector of Dunsfold; to Miss D. Cameron, in place of Miss J. Loudoun-Shand, now on active service with the W.R.N.S.; and to Miss A. B. Date, B.A. Miss Godwin replaces Mrs. Phillips as Senior Matron, and Miss Gibson Miss Lahaye as the Junior Matron. We hope they will find life in the Junior School pleasant and not unduly trying during these difficult days. . SCHOOL ACTIVITIES.

In spite of the total absence of cold and wintry weather, our activities, both in school, and on the playing field, were considerably curtailed owing to epidemics.

During the flrst few weeks of the Lent Term we played some Bugger, for which our thanks are due to Mr. Tanner, who kindly coached the first game. Unfortunately, epidemics prevented any matches from being arranged, and the hockey suffered a similar fate. A disastrous term! The cross country race was also cancelled. OBITUARY. D. G. BLACK. It is with great sorrow that we have to record the death of Desmond Gow Black, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Black, which took place at Chelmsford Hospital on Saturday, May 15th. The son of an Old Cranleighan and former master at Cranleigh School, Desmond Black joined the Junior School in September, 1940, and would have entered the Senior School this May. During the years he spent with us here he deservedly earned the respect and affection of both staff and boys by his selflessness and consideration for others. Particularly was this apparent in the ready eagerness he at all times revealed in his efforts to help and encourage the younger members of the School. He has set us a standard we shall do well to follow. To his parents we extend our deepest sympathy, and with them mourn their loss. LIBRARY NOTES. We are very grateful to the following, who have kindly presented books to the Library during the past year: Miss Loudoun-Shand, R. C. Winsloe, Esq. (late Bursar), a generous contribution of 40 books, R. L. Cross, C. A. W. Gibbons, R. M. Brand, I. K. Thompson and D. L. Prebble. Present Librarians are: M. J. Russell (senior librarian), D. V. Ellis, D. F. Cooper, J. A. Geddes, P. R. Musgrave, D. L. Prebble, J. M. Taylor. SCOUTING. A keen interest has been maintained in Scouting, and with the exception of the Lent Term, when, owing to illness we had no meetings, there has been a record number of attendance^. In addition to the usual games, schemes and instruction, the Scouts have been entirely responsible for "fuelling" the School with logs during the winter, and lately I am glad to report much useful work has been done by them on the Junior School allotment. MUSIC. The number of boys taking music has increased considerably, and we have the class for "strings" in being again. This year for the first time the Junior School is entering candidates for the Associated Board Examinations. The Sets Music Competition was won by Hearts. B. C. Allchin, Esq., Director of Music at the Senior School, very kindly adjudicated. Prizes went to I. K. Thompson, solo singing and violin, and to J. Sandell for piano. VARIA. Congratulations to C. B. Thomson on gaining an Exhibition at the Senior School; I. K. Thompson on winning a Choral Exhibition at the Senior School. Our grateful thanks to A. E. Secrett, Esq., for his kindness and thought in supplying us with young plants of winter greens for the »43 School allotments, also for frequent supplies of fresh lettuce and radishes, carrots and onions, all of which were gratefully appreciated by the School. Our annual Christmas Party was held on Thursday, December 10th, and we were fortunate In again getting Mr. Ernest Sewell to come down and entertain us with his Inimitable humour, sleight of hand tricks and marionettes. Mrs. Mildenhall, who, I regret to say, left us at the end of the term, skilfully contributed towards the success of the evening in providing war-time luxuries and the usual Christmas gifts. SCHOOL PLAYS. Two Dickens items were the high spots in the Junior School entertainment last autumn term: the school scene from "Nicholas Nickleby," and a potted version of "A Chrlsmas Carol." In the first named excerpt B. A. C. Ker was a manly and vigorous Nicholas, K. Secrett a sufficiently spiteful Mrs. Squeers, while C. W. .Hill made a pathetic and moving picture as Smike. Mr. Hewlett played Mr. Squeers, deputising for P. B. Musgrave at short notice, also taking the part of Scrooge in the Carol. Here, again, there were some good performances, notably M. J. Russell's portrayal of Mrs. Cratchlt, and C. B. Thomson's of the Spirit of Christmas. I, K. Thompson sang very charmingly a fairy song, entitled "The Mopoke," written and composed by Mr. Hewlett, in which he was assisted by members of the choir, ably trained and produced by Mr. Davies. N. L. Cooper's recitations were also much enjoyed. 844 Old Cranleighan Society. Hon. Secretary: N. H. MARTIN, 48, Albemarle Road, Beckenham, Kent. Hon. Treasurer: L. S.

We regret to learn of the death, while in internment in Hong Kong, of P. E. F. (Frank) Cressall, but apart from this brief notice we have no further details. He was at Cranleigh (I North) from 1908 to July, 1911, was a School Prefect and gained Colours for football and cricket, of which he was captain in the last year. Gressall went to British Guiana on leaving School and represented the Colony at both games with some distinction. During the last war he served with the British West Indies Regiment, and, as a captain, won the Military Gross. Cressall was called to the Bar at Gray's Inn in 1923, and appointed a Stipendiary Magistrate in British Guiana the following year. Seven years later he went to Jeru-' salem as Chief Magistrate, and became President of the British Courts in Palestine in 1936. He had not been long in Hong Kong as Puisne Judge when the Japanese offensive began there, and was inevitably interned. ORDINATION. H. A. Williams (J.S. and II and III South, 1929-38), B.A., Trinity, Cambridge and Cuddesdon, was Gospeller at the Trinity Ordination and admitted deacon by the Bishop of London and licensed to the curacy of St. Barnabas, Pimlico. FREEMASONRY. The Old Cranleighan Lodge No. 4680 met at the Freemason's Hall, Great Queen Street, W.G.2, on Saturday, April 3rd, when the Master, H. E. Greenwood, presided over a large gathering of members and visitors, to instal the new Master, G. W. Ware. 846 In the course of the meeting the new Master referred to the excellent work H. E. Greenwood had performed during the past three years, and proposed that a hearty vote of thanks be recorded in the minutes. This was seconded by the Hon. Secretary, and was unanimously carried. We have to record with much pleasure that A. F. Greenwood has been honoured with a Grand Lodge Collar as Assistant Grand Director of Ceremonies, and we offer him our hearty congratulations. S. F. C. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. The Thirty-Ninth Annual General Meeting of the Old Cranleighan Society was held at The Cafe Royal, Regent Street, on April 21st, 1943, when fifteen members attended, with the President, the Rev. D. G. Loveday, in the chair. After the minutes of the previous year had been passed, the reports of the Hon. Secretary and the Hon. Treasurer were presented and adopted. The members present took the opportunity of congratulating, on behalf of the Society, N. H.' Martin on his appointment during the year to the School Council. H. E. Greenwood was elected to a vice-presidency in the place of the late E. R. Hazell, and the existing vice-presidents were reelected en bloc. Similarly, all the other officers and the committee were re-elected for another year. The Hursar then reported the gratifying response to 1,he Society's Scholarship Appeal, which was suitably acknowledged by the Headmaster on behalf of the School. WHITSUN. Those of us who were able to accept the Headmaster's invitation to the School on Whit Monday were again very grateful to all concerned for their hospitality, and for their obvious desire to maintain the Whitsun tradition despite the difficulties involved and inevitable in war time. We were fortunate to be able to raise a reasonable side to play the School XI, and although rain interfered a little with the game, which had to be left unfinished, it sufficed to show that Cranleigh cricket is certainly on the up grade. Thirty-five O.C's sat down to lunch in Hall, and W. P. Lambe expressed our thanks to the Headmaster,before we returned to the "Jubilee." PENELOPE. , The story of H.M.S. Penelope has been recently published in London, called Our Penelope. It has some 847 especial interest for Cranleighans in that her gunnery officer, the late Lieut. J. S. Miller, D.S.C., R.N., about whose efforts much of the story is written, was an O.C., although he left while still in the Junior School to proceed to Dartmouth. His two brothers remained, however, and were in I North. A copy of the book has been sent to the School Library. O.G's IN THE FAR EAST. Since the last issue we have heard definitely that C. G. Windle, D. G. Hall and Dr. R. M. B. Lowis are civilian internees in Changi Gamp, near Singapore, and that R. H. White is a military prisoner in Malai Camp, Malaya. Of those in the Forces, G. I. Larkins and M. A. Prichard managed to escape, the former to England eventually and the latter to service elsewhere. The British Red Cross are unable to give us the camp addresses of prisoners of war in the Far East, but if not in touch with their next of kin friends may write to them in the following way: — 1. All letters must bear in the top left corner, the double phrase, "Prisoner of War Post, Service des Prisonniers de Guerre." 2. Rank, initials, name; in the case of other ranks their service number also; unit; the locality in which it was last serving. 3. "British Prisoner of War" c/o Japanese Red Cross, Tokyo. 4. The name and address of the sender must appear on the back of the envelope. ADDRESSES OF PRISONERS OF WAR.
