JJ EDITORIAL NOTES. T/18

SCHOOL.

Agaiu we can report an increase in our numbers. This steady increase is wry noticeable, anci shows that the higher fees are not the obstacle that some wish to make it.

We have now passed the century by six, and have reasons tc expect this healthy state of affairs to continue. We have to welcome fifteen arrivals while seven boys are leaving us. The changes have been as follows:

DC'parturC's: C. deF reitas, C. H. Harewood, T. Ho-Yow, F. John_son, W. P. Patoir, G. Sawh, W. S . .5toby.

Arrival$: M. Chee-;,_.Tc-w, A V. Chin, C. R. Chin, G. A. Choy, L. Chu, M. Fereira, H. D. Field, F. 0. F. Franker, S. F ung-kee-F ung, D. A. Ho-a-Yun, C. T. Maggs, 0. Pereira, D. A . Whitehead, R. G. Whitehead, W . H. Wharton.

Ho-Yow and Patoir leave us from the Fifth Form, ¡ while Harewood and Stoby had sp_eill some time in the sixth. The- latter was a good bowler, and a fair bat, though somewhat unfortunate; he also was our right full back, and a~ such did good work last season. Johnson was also a good mau in the football team, playing outside left.

Strong, burly and fearless, f.e was a tower of strength to our team. All these lads have our best wi~es for suce&sful and prosperous futures.

We have to play four Garnett Cup matches this term, and should: do better than last season when we were not as successful as our ~earn gave us reasons to hope.

QUEEN'S COLLECE SCHOOL MAGAZINE

A very pleasant sports meeting was held this term, when Mr. Leechman's House carried ctf the shield for athletics by eleven points.

The carpentry shop is still a favourite resort for many boys, who mostly do not show to great advantage in the class room. To witness the steady and pains-taking labour of these boys at the work-bench shows the good that can br done by such institutions in a school. The time may come when work done here will be brought more prominently before the school and even the public outside.

This term will be the last one in our present buildings, as the removal to the Orphan Asylum is to be made in the Easter holidays.

It will be hard for our rr.any old! boys to have any love for this new building, but soon there will be those who will hold dear every nook and corner of the new Queen's College.

The removal is riecessary, as no more unsuitable spot could have been chosen for a school than the present site of Queen's.

Every passing motor car, donkey cart, huckster, causes a distraction in the class. Then, too, in our new buildings we shall have a better playground, and so be able to have our sports and cricket and football matches played on our own grounds. The only drawback may be the further distance for boys livmg in certain parts of the city, but this is exaggerated, and, to a greater or less extent , is a drawback to all schools.

THE

MAGAZINE.

In this issue appear th~ usual features , and in addition a letter from the Front. The letter is indeed a treasure, as we see so few in our magazine. This is the main distinguishing feature of the Queen's College Magazine! among similar magazines reaching us from the various schools in the West Indies. The fact that our old boys forget us as soon as they leave us is strange and somewhat painful. It seems the term ungrateful might be added, as when the least has been said, there is something due to the school at which one has been taught, to the masters who gave of their best in order to d~velop character and to shape the man from the boy, to the present pupils who are proud to look back at the string of old boys now distinguishing themselves at the F ront and elsewhere.

Archdeacon Branch, headmaster of the Antigua Grammar School on his recent visit, remarked that he missed one thing in our class room, and that was the photographs of all the old boys serving in this present war. Perhaps the reason for this is the same, or one closely akin to it, as the one which is at the bottom of our

getting so few letters from our old boys.

Would that someone could supply us with the key to unlock this important door of silence and reticence on the part of our old boys!

We think it appropriate to use as frontis-piece to this number the print of the old college, as this is the last term we shall be spending there.

HOUSE NOTES. MR.

LEECHMAN'S ¡ HOUSE.

(By J. E. AGARD for the Captain.)

Despite the Captain's recent illness, the House won the Athletic Shield. His illness affected the House in two ways.

Firstly on account of it the boys lacked a leader to train them systematically for the sports; and again, beiug iii, he was unable to contribute his quota of points towards the success of the House, Most of the boys, especially the Juniors, were very keen on the sports. Were it not for them we would have lost; for the indisposition of Chabrol and Subryan --our best men-spoilt our chances in the Senior events. There was no Senior able or willing to fill their places. It was, therefore, left to the Juniors to keep the Blue Flag flying. These Juniors showed a very high general standard. They were very interested in the sports, and ran exceedingly well, otâ&#x20AC;˘tclassing their opponents of the rival House.

In some of their events we secured 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. For the Junior Championship there was a tie between two of our boysWharton II. and Franker I. This is a very good sign, and shows that the House can rely on these Juniors for its future successes. In the ~enior events ~ong of th~ Red House was i;asily first. Pereira 11. 1

though under 16 years, ran well against him.

None of our boys " died " after any event, which shows that they had trained and' were all in good condition.

Last term we won the Cricket Shield by beating the opposite House in 2 matches out of 3. We won the first match by 2 runs.

Our team played splendidly and . its success was due to ¡ its superior bowling talent. The second match was lost.

Franker played a splendid game, putting up ~O runs. He promises to be a steady bat .

We avenged our defeat in the third match, winning by 21 runs.

Wishart II . deserves special mention.

H is bowling in all three matches was excellent, and' he bids fair to become the best bowler in our School Eleven. He was presented with a cricket ball by Mr. Leechman for his splendid bowling.

There are still some boys in the lower school who are out and out wasters . They do nothing but lose points for the House. Last term these boys lost 926 points. Now, this is simply disgraceful. Our opponents won the General Shield last year, because n,e losi more than they, not because they beat us by so many points. The Captain is doing his best to stop this rot; and every decent boy in the House ought to assist him as much as possible. There are too many boys in the lower and upper forms who dq not care anything about the welfare of the House, What is worse, they say so openly. Several boys in the Fifth and Sixth Forms who did nothing for us at the sports or in cricket, are not likely to assist in football, and are pretty sure not to win many points in the coming Cambridge Locals. With these boys it is a case of " Vox et practerea nihil." Now boys, we must be proud of our House . We must not only not speak ill of it, but rather defend it. We have won two Shields for this year already. There are two more to be won, and we are going to win them. So stop " rotting."

It harms vou, it harms the House, and above all it tends to harm the old school.

MR.

FILGRIM'S

HOUSE.

( By J . 8 . EWING-CHOW for the Captain.)

We can now definitely say we have won the General Shield for 191 7 . The Cambrid~ Local results, which arrived during the latter part of last term, increased our lead considerably . Till then we led by 190 points; these result5 brought up our lead to 25 5 points. Special mention may be made of Sharples I., who gained 45 points for us, paing obtained 1st class honours an~ 2 distinctions in the Junior

Cambridge examination. The boys may well be proud of the achievement of winning this shield and having the honour of our name appearing first on it, Three matches were played in connection with the Cricket Shield.

Mr. Leechman's House won two, thus gaining the shield. The first match, played on the D . C. C . ground, was the most exciting of the season, we were defeatl:'d here by two runs . Wong I. played a brilliant game and was responsible for 87 not out. We next met our Had they won this match the opponents on the G . C. C . ground.

Shield would have been theirs, but this did not occur, for our boys, determined to avenge their last defeat, more than held their own and won by six wickets. Both Wong and Ewing-Chow I. played well, each making 48, the former being not out. The last match decided the winner of the Shield. Winning the toss we sent our opponents in. They made a poor stand against the bowling of Ewing-Chow who took 7 wickets for 30 runs. Marks and Ewing-Chow I. opened our innings, the former made 4 and was nu. out. Wong I. then joined Ewing-Chow I. and the score was taken up to 58, when the latter was caught at longoff after having made 29, A brief interval followed, and Wong I., with I 7 to his credit was bowled by Wishart II. The five remaining batsmen were unable to make the 23 runs required to bring us victory.

We thus lost the match and shield. Fortune, which had been on our side the previous year. turned against us.

We also lost the Athletic Shield which was contested for on March I st, 1918.

Although Wong I., in the Senior competition outclassed his opponents by winning the six possible events and thus c:reating a record, the success of the day was not with us. We were exceedingly unfortunate in the Junior competition, for Philips, our 0nly hooe, hurt his left leg in the I 00 yards, the first race of the day.

Were it not for this accident, the Shield must have been ours, for we lost it only by I I points .

There are still two shields to be competed for, the General and Football Shields. We won both of these last year, and we hope to repe>1t our oerformance this year, but this we cannot do unless we strive for it. Already we lead our opponents by more than I 50 points, and if our bovs will avoid getting into the dete'lt;,,n .,, frequently, we stand an excellent chance of gainin~ the General Shield,

THE SPORTS. (By C.

V.

LEWIS, Form VI.)

Glorious weather prevailed on the day on which we held our Annual Sports-Friday, March 1st. A lovely blue sky with a few fleeting clouds, through which King Sol showered down his warm ancl fulsome apprecia tion. There was a light breeze, that helped to temper ' Sol's "much-too-warm" hospitality.

The course was prettily decorated with blue and red flags, and these, together with the large amount of ladies present, gave the scene a gay and animated appearance. Many Old BoyS-Qld and young ones-were there, as well as boys from various schools.

8

QUE'.EN'S COLLECE SCHOOL MACAZlNE: --------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thanks to the parents cf some of our boys, we were again enabled to serve refreshments to the ladies, at a small cost to the Club. And again, Miss Wong, assisted by Mrs. Pilgrim and Mrs. J. T. Chung rendered us valuable service in supervising the making of ices, and distribution of cakes. Let us vote them the D.S. 0. Several boys waited on the ladies with refershments, thus seeing that their guests were made heartily welcome.

A new feature, employed in the 100 yards events, was the separation of each lad's course, from that of the other's.

Unhappily, two accidents occurred, marring our otherwise highly successful sports. During the High Jump for Seniors, Bradford failed to clear the bar. He sei?Cd it, and this caused one end to give Mr. Potter a severe wound en the left eyelid. He was given first aid by Dr. Wishart,-who, fortunately, was on the ground-and then taken to the Hospital, where thr. wound was stitched. He returned later to see the conclusion of the ~ports, but was unable to attend school, the first three days of the r1ext week.

The second accident resulted in a broken wrist to Wight II., during the High Jump for Juniors.

He had cleared the bar, but landing on his hand, brok~ his wrist.

These two accidents, occurring so close together, threw a tempornry gloom over our spirits. In sympathy with us, the gods shed a few tears in a light shower of rain.

As a proof of the greal rivalry existing, 100 per cent. of the boys ente1ed for the sports, and this rivalry existed among the boys not so much as individuals, but as parties-Houses. Why, on the day of the sports, there was no fraternising among lads of opposite Houses; the B's had no dealings w:ih the A's. Blues were Blues, and Reds were Reds, and the twain never met.

A boy, by coming first, second, or third in the 100 yards, 320, 440 or Half-mile, won for his House, 5, 3, 1, points respectively, while 4, 2, 1, points were gained for himself-these points going to the Championship column. The half.,mile gave no points in this case.

The Long and Hiish Jumps and Throwing the Cricket Ball, were each worth 5, 3, points for first, second places respectively; and 4, 2 points in the Championship total.

The Tug-of-war gave 10 points to the winning team for its House, and the Senior or Junior Champion won 25 points for his House. This year, Mr. Leechman's House-the B's, light blue-won the Athletic shield, despite disadvantages, with a total of 10'1 points against 93.

Wong easily won the Senior Championship, with '24 points out of a possible 24, his only serious rival, Chabrol-Captain of B House-

being seriously ill.A splendid bat and a pair of batting gloves were secured by him, for the Championship. The Junior Championship was shared by Franker I. and Wharton II., each with 10 points.

Each of them was given a cricket bat. Comacho won the half-mile, and Mr. Estwick the Old Boys' race.

Towards the latter part of the afternoon His Excellency, attended

by Capt. Parker, arrived. The Principal, in his speech before the distribution of the prizes by His Excellency," thanked all those, who in any way, helped to make the sport~ a success. He thanked the Committee of the G.C.C. for once more kindly lending us their ground; he thanked all those ladies who had helped, and gave his especial thanks to the Old Boys, who by their co-operation, had made the sports possible.

He then said that out of 106 boys in the school, 106 had entered for the sports.

The Secretary then read out the names of the successful boyshe seemed to be choking with emotion,-and, His Excellency handed out the prizes. In the Governor's short address, he said he was glad to see the clean healthy appearance of the lads; and the keen spirit of ri,alry existing. He promised to visit us, avowing, however, he was no scholar. But he hoped that by cnofessing it then, he was smoothing his path, whenever he vi~ited us. He thought the best event of the day was the tug-of-war, as it taught the boys the necessity of working together for the common good, instead of thinking each one for himself.

This idea he thought, thf' central one in a boy's education.

Three cheers for His Excellency! Three for the Principal! and three for the ladies! brought to a close a very, very happy day.

THE SENIOR CHAMPION. (By ]ONES IV. of Red House.)

With head tossed back, and flashing eye, Long, flowing hair, and fearless stride, See Wong, our hope, come rushing by To uphold the IE:lrctc and worthy pride Already won by Pilgrim's House.

Was there dark hint of someone new Who d'ared to think our Wong to oust, Put down the Red, uphold the Blue?

No wonder then the tight-clenched · teeth, The flashing eye, the calm reserve, The guileless smile, hiding beneath A boundless store cf strength and! nerve.

Had he not now for four years been The Senior Champion of the School?

Should one now come upon the scene ['Tis true cxcept;ons prove the rule] And snatch from him the cherished name?

Not much! Again he foremost stands, To Pilgrim's House belongs the fame, The Champion is among its bands.

For full five times the field he's led But never till when challenged thus, To uphold the Biue, put down the Red, Did Vivian not care a ,• cuss. " The maximum of points he bagged; The jumping bar did not deter, Although the enemy had bragged Of B , Form IV.'s " great grandfather," The new:-"f ound-out, the five-foot-two-at-leastBut, call a halt-the space is short, To bragging n,e must not resort-¥

So to the Senior Champion, our Wong, Honour, and Fame, and Praise, for aye, belong; Three times hurrah! Hats off your heads!

The Captain of the School! The Captain of the flt.eds!

MOVING. A

TOPICAL

ATTEMPT.

By C. V. LEWIS (Form VI.) You are settled, as you hope, for ever, in your comfortable house.

Do you require anything, from your will to your tobacco, you know Your priceless knick-knacks, your · where to put your hanc! on it. treasures dear from long association, faithful service or personal convenience; your books, esteemed as the companions of your solitude; receive their due amount of care, and all things tend to put you into a state of peace and good-will--of Comfort.

But alas! Comfort is not stable on this earth, aud soon there comes a rude disturbing of your peace, a callous disarticulation of your arrangements, a seismic upheaving of your placid universe-Moving.

Those priceless knicks-km,cks that were ever touched only by your own devotion are now man .. handled by coarse and unsympathetic mer• Your sacred books cenaries, minions of a higher and ruthless power. are fingered by the vulgar, your treasures risked by those on whom their value is hopelessly lost, or--worse still-broken and surreptitiously thrown away on a rubbish heap. Talk about martyrs and mratyrdom -what are you, suffering in the cause of Moving?

Your new abode does not please you-but who are you to ques• tion the doings of the powers that be? You find, when you require anything, that it is anywhere but where it should be. You miss the note of tradition, of custom-usage-the rut made smooth by effluxion of time. All is new, raw and gritty. You explore your new demesne, and return wretched. F orrnerly every stone could tell a story, every crevice knew you, the very atmosphere was home. Now Old times are changed, old manners gone, A strange1 fills the Stuart's throne.

Divers are the feelings with which Moving is regarded. To some 1t recalls exquisite di~comfort, to others utter sadness, to a tew, perchance, happiness,-but happiness always mingled with pain. For sad it is to leave the place where we used to dwell. We knew and loved -everything connected with it-the trees, the birds, the very Did they not-all of them-welcome us, love corners of the house. stories us?

power-how we loved them, and how they loved us. Sadly we leave, and quit the atmosphere of Kindness, Comfort and Friendship, and go to meet we know not what. Behind us lie Friends, before us stretches the World. Maybe in our new abode, Time will soothe the smart, for Time " bears all its griefs away"; but yet, ...... there is Memory.

CAMBRIDGE LOCAL EXAMINATIONS. Owing to the unsettled state of the mails, our results in the Cambridge Locals did not reach us till Saturday, the 3rd of November.

As usual, there were a few disappointments and also a few surprises.

On the whole the number of sucesses was maintained at a satisfactory level. The pass lists show a paucity of distinctions not only for Queen's College and British Guiana, but for all the colonial centres.

Hence there are fewer distinctions this year than there have been for -some time. Again we failed to place a boy in the Senior First Class Honours. This is not altogether the fault of the boys, for owing to the frequent changes in the staff, caused by the illnesses and deaths of Messrs Franks and MacF arlane, there was not that continuity necessary in any subject to obtain distinction in that subject. This, too, accounts for the less brilliant passes among the juniors and preliminaries.

For instance, in the English subjects, of the Preliminary Forms, no less than four masters taught at various times, namely, Messrs. McFarlane, Tait, Potter, Chabrol. The last mmtioned, taking over just three weeks before the examination, could not be expected to give the finishing touches so important for examinations.

In our last number we warned parents against expecting too much under the trying circumstances existing at Queen's. The results, therefore, are gratifying when we take these points into consideration.

The honours list in the Junior Section was decidedly good, and Sharples I., ¡Bacchus L McLean I., Wishart I., Ewing II., and Cameron should feel quite pleased at the rewards with which their efforts have been crownert. Cameron is sitting the Junior again this year, and should ev~rything be favourable, we are expecting great things from him.

Our results in the preliminary were the poorest for some years, and .as a consequence the Mitchell ScholarshiJ? was won by an outside boy.

Camp Street,

10 . 3 . 18 .

Dear Mr . Editor, It seems it is the peculiarity of the boys reticent about their personal doings . After brother, I have at last got some news and as I late fellow-collegians, I am sending it to you. -

at the Front to be very repeated letters to my think it may interest my Yours truly,

WILFRED

STOBY.

I have to hand your letter dated 18. 12. 1 7 and 1n 1t you ask for news of my doings at the Front. Well, I have an hour to spare and I have decided to let you know of the important things of my life in a foreign country, but you must put up with pencil and scrawl, as I am tired and must lie down.

I left England for F ranee o nMarch 9th, 1915 ; we were keen in those days and spoiling for a fight. After our journey we arrived at a sea port and disembarked, spending the night in a R est Camp miles out of the town and ther.o our troubles started.

In those days the peasant and even townfolk were enthusiastic, and you got oranges, etc-, given you on the' march and many a poor woman have I blessed too, but those days and happy incidents are over, for folk are tired, and money is scarce, and I fear Tommy has to pay rather heavily now .

Well we arrived at this Rest Camp dead to the world, and were issued with Bully and Biscuits, and being hungry we ate it, and were thankful . As we were only staying the night we did not worry with blankets but laid down in tents and slept until 3 a . m. when we were roused to strike camp and clear.

We then started on our train journey . Of course the carriages were cattle trucks, packed with forty men in each, but we did nQI care, we were off to the Front, We arrived at our little village to detrain and had to march about six miles up a beast of a hill. J remember this so well, for what with fatigue and travelling we were done for, and to get there we threw any amount of stuff away, which we had to pick up again . It sounds bad being whacked on a 6 mile march, but travel a long spell in a cramped position and then try marching on cobbled roads and you are beat. When I say cobbled roads, I mern after the style of the side of our sea wall and just as rough for walking.

Well, we had to be initiated into the-business, and so everyone had a short spell of the line before we went in and started doing our ~hare as a Battalion. I remember well my first spell too, I was ordered

22

. QUEEN'S COLLEGE SCHOOL MAGAZINE

to continue a ¡ sap from our trenches to the Bosche antl whilst at work a bomb dropped: pn the pr,rapet or side of my sap, a little further, and I am afraid my part in the war would have been soon ended.

Well the next incident of interest was soon after when we were on our own, and we did just over a month in the trenches, in those days that was nothing, for troops were so scarce, but now-a-days six days is a lot. We had a rough month. Our boys were game though, they took to fighting well, and old Fritz got all he wanted, except in artillery. As everyone knows in those days we were short of that and ammunition. I lost my first pal in this stunt, a boy of 18, he was killed about 2 yards fwm me . It upset me rather, for I knew little of death until then, another of our young fellows went mad, only temporary you know, for he is well again, though out of the Army.

Looking back I remember nothing of real interest from then until September 25th, 1915, the Battle of Loos.

The Battle itself was nothing to worry about, but when we were holding a sector somewhere around there, for 1 7 days afterwards, it was " some do," I assure you.

Most folk only read " Artillery activity around so and so . " It is usually a demonstration of hell . We jogged along until Christmas, 191 5 ; another part of the line, where we were up and over our waists in water, it sound~ funny, but we lost a couple or so men by drowning. Slipped down, no one saw them, and what with fatigue, I suppose couldn't get up. I was an N. C . 0. by this and during this time was a machine gunner . I lost 5 of my team wounded and was the only one left, how I escaped I don't know, but I did.

Nothing else of note haprened till we were round Vimy.

You have read how the troops took the Vimy Ridge.

Well about the comencement of ' 16, we were there and the Bosche tried to break through and couldn't. \Ve heldl him. It was very exc1tmg. Of course, now-a-days, we hold the Ridge and the Bosche gets the stick.

By these little incidents I hope you'll see how we are gradually gaining what we want .

The next thing out of the ordinary was the Somme, and its series of Battles. I gave up at this time going into attacks, but only going up to the line and returning .

Imagine a large, oh, a huge area of ground with tons of slush about, covered with little canvass coverings and tents, and anything really for shelter, and you have the Somme. You slept in mud, ate rr:ud, washed in it, ani:l so on .

There were sever.11 exciting times up there on the roads, and I saw 9pe or two people and vehicles go up. It was a tryin~

time for everyone, hard work and risks too for all ranks. we did well, take that from one who saw it all.

23

However,

Then we moved to Ypres d1strict. You have read of this place.

Without a doubt it ·is the hell of the Front and the ten months in ~hat district I look upon as a nightmare.

It is one of the few parts where you are safer in the line than out; for the air fights are numerous each night and life is really miserable.

One incident ~t~11ds out amongst the rest, and that is, I was in a tent near a dump of large bombs, and Mr. Fritz dropped a bomb on the dump and exploded the lot. Believe me, it was the only time in my 32 months when I was :i coward, and I was out and out on this occa• sion. J am not asham,,ed to own it, but the explosion was so great that I ran like old NicK, and there were others. This brings us right over Christmas, 1916 and to about August, 191 7, when we left there for another part, where I left for England. This is fairly brief, but the numbers of little incidents, the emotions one has are too numer• ous to write in one letter .

I hope this will interest you all .

A LITTLE CHAT BETWEEN A NATIVE AND A VISITOR ON THE AF:FAIRS OF THE DEMERARA LIFE AS SHOWN IN THE REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS TO 31-12-1917.

111

VISI'.l'OR: To what do you attribute the enormous increase in New Business during the year 1917 compared with previous years?

NA'l.1IVE: Several causes.

First and Foremost. '!.'he wave of prosperity passing over the colony, Ma. result of wluch t he farmer-" the man who feeds us all "~has been doing better tha.n ever, for Uie simple reason that primarily this is an ,tgricultural country, Secondly. '!.' hat confidence born of success after success of a Society that has mnply justified its existence; has its stability vouched for b.v the Actuarial Reports of the highesta.uthorities; and demonstrnted its utility time and time a.gain to those in need.

Thirdly. Intelligent canvassing in placing before possible candidates the undeniable advantages of life assurance over every other scheme for securing to self ,tnd dependents that which one anticipates realising if- life la.sts.

Fourthly. The cheap rates at which assurances are offered, together with the Bonus additions on its Policies, which, although effected at those cheap rates, h:we exceeded the additions on Mutual Profit-sharing Policies of a.11 competitors over last four declarations.

Fifthly. The awakening of the inhabitants of British Guiana and the British ¡w est Indian Islands to the fact that they have in their very midst ,t Life Assurance Office th,1t gives them better value for their money than they can obtain from other quarters.

Sixthly. '.!'he liberality of the terms md conditions of all Demerara Life contracts.

Seventhly. '.!'he expedition and facility with which business can be transacted-from the making of the application; the Medical .Examination of the Candidate ; tte payment of premiums; arranging of loans; drawing of Endowments; or obtaining settlements of Death Claims.

VISITOR : Your ans1rnrs inspire confidence, but we live in an age of enquiry, not to say doubt, and I shall t rouble you next time to somewhat amplify your seven points.

NA'.l'IVE: Just what I want you to do-in,estigate-investigate-investigate!
