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.

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.

ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY.
A great many expeditions have been made in the past
year and a half. 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.

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.

SCHOOL MISSION NOTES.
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.

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.

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.

The Play directed and produced by Mr. J. R. Stevens.
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.

The Meitges String Quartet. Sunday, May Qlh.
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.

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.

THE NIGHTMARE.
(With many apologies to Lewis Carroll.)
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

"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

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

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.

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.

COLTS.
Colts in 1943 were not quite so strong as in 1942. 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

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. .

LENT TERM, 1943.
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. Influenza, measles and mumps, unfortunately, retarded progress in the work of the term, and prevented
us from carrying out our list of fixtures with other schools.

LENT TERM, 1943.
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.

OBITUARY.
P. E. F. CRESSALL, M.C.
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.

Wright were captain and navigator respectively of the leading aircraft of a formation of bombers detailed to attack the railway
workshops at Malines. Shortly after crossing the enemy coast antiaircraft fire and fighter opposition were'encountered. Despite this,
close formation was maintained, and, brilliantly navigated by
F/Officer, Wright, S/Leader Berggren skilfully led the formation
to the target, where a daring low-level attack was successfully
executed. Just before releasing his bombs S/Leader Berggren's
aircraft struck some high-tension cables. Nevertheless, he released
his bombs, obtaining hits on liis objective. Both these officers di#
played exceptional skill and high courage, contributing in a large
measure to the success of the operation."
