SCHOOL,

The school-year which bas just passed bas been o. rather success; fnl one for Queen's. The numbers have been etcadily increo.?i ng.

True it is that many good boys who have been with its for yearfl hare now left us: Among th ese 10:i.r be mention ed Hntchin.qon, l\litchell , Fi tzpatrick i, Bacobns anu Marks, a.II of whom leave t1 R from the Sixth Form, We have. however, been fortunnte in getting B0°tne promising little boys, in \1 hom we hope, R.S tin,e goes on, to find substitutes for those who now leavens to take their places in the world. We note with pleasura that pa.rents ba.ve eYidootly realised that the best results can be most easily obtained when their boys are sent to Queen's before they ren.ch the age of thirteen.

These boys, in their turn, 1\l'e asked to remember that nHimatt> s11oce3s lies only in good oondnct, 11,nil. steady, honest work.

at MacDonald College. McGill University, Cann.cla.. Mitchell was 11 useful member of onr Football team nod capta.ine<l the eleven last year.

Fitzpatrick i bas been for a lon rs time -a favomite on the cricket field. Three years ago be was elected vice cc1,pto.in of crickr·t. n.nd for the last two years he bas been cn.ptain . " Fit z " is now articled to Mr. A. G. King, Rolicitor.

Bacchus i, like Fitzpatrick i, leaves us from t.110 l\Inth Pmo.tical Sixth. He competed for the Guiana Scholarship Inst year.

Marks has been specia!iRing in Sci,rnce for some time and hn~ s1.1t the scholarship ex11111ination on morn tban 0ne occasion. He plnyl'cl for the school in both the cricket nncl football oltlvene, bein g e. strong kick and 11 fair bat. The captaincy of ]\[r: Pilgrim 's Honse Wf\ R entrusted to him during bis last term at ~chool.

Hutchimmn ha.El been at Qneen's for eight yPat·s. He won tho 1D20 Guiana Scholarr-hip in Science and intends studying mrdi9ino in England. He captained l\Jr. Pilgrim'R Honse from SPptembe1· 1918, to Jnly Hl20.

To these nncl several others we say goorl·byr with a henYr henrt· We wish them all snccess in future life.

Of those among the entries, Niles, Humphrey. Promdn~: .n n<l C. A. Robinson are Gove:nment Pl'imary 8cbolars for 1 fl20 . and Yansen the Blair Scholar for the same year.

We have not done well in the Garnett Memorial Cup l'om11etitio11 this year. The article on cricket speaks for itself. t)ur fa.ilura can be directly attributed to lack o( suitable gronnd for priotice. This has now been remedied , the Combined Court baying kindly granted us a :1um of money for the 'making up' of it. The work is nearly finished, thanks to the assistance rnndered by l\fr. Ward of the Boto.nic Gard,ms.

In spite of the fact that the stn.tA ol the mails has lwcome moro settled, consequent on the conclusion of the War, the Cambrid ge Local Re3ults did not arrive until the lltb of December. A detnileil account will be found elsewhere. The sch ool examination result~ arrived a week or two before and are quite satisfactory.

In accordance with unanimous decision, the school re-divided into three sets-"A," "B," and "C." The house-masters are Messrs : Pilgrim, Ha.le and Peterkin, captains McLean, i, Lewis and Sharples, i. The rivalry to be as keen a.a ever.

The annual House feed came off on tbe 15th July last. The principal and all the other members of the staff attended. Lewis and Fitzpatrick 1.-0aptain 1rnd vice-captain respectively of the '.'B's"-represented theil' Houses, "His Mo.jesty," "Queen's Oollege," "The 'B' House," "The 'A ' House," "Leaving Boy~," etc., were all toasted with .gusto, the toasts being drunk in kola champagne. At the end of the afternoon'e jolity all were a.greed that the a.unnal feed should be regarded by every loyal "A Houser" as · a necessary and most desirable function . So let it be. · We must now turn our attention to more serious matters. The "A" llouse was able to win three of the four availa.blo shields-th~ General Shield, or, to be clearer, tho "Big Shield," which is awarded on the whole of the yea.r's working, the Cricket Shield and the Athletic Shield. One match was played in connection with the Footbl\ll Shield, and thi:; we won. H is still undecided as to what we should do with regard to·the awarding of. it. We are proud of those who enabled us to do this, and can congratulate ouraelves on our success.

•

But what h11.ve we to say about the present yesr? There a.re the shields to be won and we want to win them. l3u t there a.re the delinquents. Surely· you slackers should answer your House's call for fairplay I Surely it is not honest of you to be throwing awn.y those points which others have toiled so ha.rd to win I Yet this is what you 11,re doing at pre3ent. In one Ringle week you lost us 182 points I one, hundred e.nd thirty two I ! In that one week our rivals gained a sub• ste.ntia.1 lead, arid left us for in the rea.r in the race for the Ganerl\l Shield. Looking up the records o{ the House for the terms gone by. we see that in one term we lost 315 points and won 199. Wha.t a contra.st when a comparison with this term's points is sought.

The "A" House's love for supremacy will not tolerate it. Let all remember our good old adage "Gain the maximum, lose the minimum" a useful reminder for certain boys, who on being obal• lenged for losing points declare that we will yet win the shield as soma boy .or other of anottior house loses quite as many points or more, wm he found in the following words of ex•Ca.pta.in Wong: "It i! honour cheaply won, or rather there ie no honour in wioniog in this manner. If Wll want to be victorious, we must work for it. No vio· tory cheaply obtained is worthy of the victor."--lt is not too late for every one ~o regain those points he bas lost, and to be able at the end of the sohool-yaar to turn over a positive ha.le.nee sheet.

Space forbids us to prooeed any further.

Let us all then do our level best, for therein only lies tho ree.lisa· tiou of wba.t is up to now a dream-that the " A" House should con · tinue t::i be, as it is wont, the "o::>ck·house" at Qneen's,

This caused our dow11foll. W e fuHv kept un the tr~ditious of the House, wheu we lost b oth the Juuior F.nd Senior Tug-of- War. It is quite clear, that, for dead weight, we are no nrnt,ch for our friends of A. The House offers its cougratulations to all who in anv wav upheld its honour at the Sports.

• · Sports over, we turn to school work. Summar Term brought with 1t the Cambridge I.oc,tl Exams, nnd. thP. school Examination.

Though we dicl well, yet we should have cloue bettar, cou,ideriug the material we pos~essecl. Amoug the Seniors we find Denny with 2nd Class Honours ancl a di~-tinctiou iu 1Hathclllatics ; Freemitu too, seemed 3rd Class Hon,,urs for us. Iu theJuuio1s, Hazlewo d, ;vith 1st Class houours and 3 clistinc1 ions, Clarke and Barrow ii. with 2nd Class honours were our best. Ying obtained 1st, Ola s h onours ,,ntl 3 distinctions in tlrn Preliminary, and McDavi,I 2nd Class honours.

V{e were a :sappointed in this section, expectiug better results. B House is indebted to all of these b11ys mentioned, aud to all those who 'passed' their Examina\inn. Each of thP-sc boys helped l.iis House practically. There is no better Patriotism than prnct.i<'al PatriotiRw. Good intentions a.re usele,s unless they iire rn.rried out,.

At the eud of the Summer Term, both to mark the close of our school year, and to herald our 'loug vaca.tiou, we of 'B' held a 'Feed.' It was ot:r first feed-we hope not our last. It has well been said that we 11hould let others speak well o~ . us. In this instance, however, WP. feel we a.re stating no more tlla.n the qa.re truth, when we say that our feed was an unqualified success, that i~ was second 1o none, nnd better than any. vVe fea r we may be cnnied away further by the warmth of our feelings on this subject, so we will s~v no more on this heacl. ,ve conducted the feed ou the excellent principle--Cowbinatioa. Each lad brought his aha.re iu kind, and the result is beyond descriptio ,,. We herP take the opportunity to -apologise to pa1·ents and guardians, if. md.irre 1Iy, we caused them to be pestered bv Jack's or John's or Willie's continual begging for cakes. We are cer>ain that had ei ·her J11.c1i, or J oha, or W ,!lie been seen at thP. feed, then mother would h1tve felt tlmply l'Ppaid for all lier trouble b y seeiug him ~so happy.

SENIOR. L. A. Freeman pa.saed in Class III. All of these boys were sitting the OXl\minntion for the first time, and so their snccess is very commendable. It is mn.ny yeus since B distinction in ma.thematics in this division has fallen to the credit of the school, so Charles and Denny, with their distinctions in Latin and Me.thematics respectively, receive our heartiest congratulations. The work of J'aikaran and Freeman has also been very creditable and our congratnla.tfons are extended to them, o.s well as to those who pa.med but were not awarded honourA.

Juniors :-There were four boys in 1910 with First Cla::is honours in this division, and again in 1920 there a.re four boys in Ole.ea I. But the 1920 Class I list is more glorious than that of 1919. There are two boys with four distinctions each, and two boys with three distinc· tions each. These boys are F. J, Pollard and H. R. Harewood-ea.ch with distinctions in Religious Knowledge. History, Latin and French, and J. E. Hazlewood and R, M. Wong-with distinctions In arith· metic, French, Mathematics and Latin, French and Mathematics, rPspect1vely. Perhaps there has not been a better q11artette in Class I, and we give them heartiest congratulations. In Olaes II honours A. B. Clarke (distinction in History) and P. G. Barrow, (distinction in Frenrh appear, and R. G. Sharples secured Class Ill honours, These boys have done well, and we congratulate them. On the whole the results in the Junior division are ver)' gratifying-not only were seven places in honours secured, but of our 29 distinctions, 19 fell to this di"ision. The total number of passes was 22. The two distinctions in Mathematics are very creditable. No less than seven distinctions in French were secured-quite a high record; while there were three in La.tin and three in Hletory. In 1919 there was one History distino• tion, in 1920 there hn,ve been three-the first occaeion.

Preliminary :-The Preliminary section on the whole did well, though the toto.l number of honours, as well as the OlaE!s I list, was lower than in 1910. Five places in honours W€re secured as against '!even in 1919. •rwo boys were placed in Clase 1-G. G. Adamson (distinction in English and Geometry) and I. E. Ying, (distinction in La.tin, Geometry, and Algebra). The other honours were : -Class UR.~ Ewing-Ohow, (distinction in Geometry) and R. N. McDavid, (distinction in Geometry); Olaes III-J . A. Radway, (distinction io'Geometry). It i1 hoped that these boys, who promise so fair, will aooomplish, like those who have gone before, great things at the Junior examination. The total of the pe.BSes in the Preliminary Division is 14. A feature of the results is the securing of five distinctions ' in Geometry-another record, which, moreover, can never be surpassed, as 1920 was the last year for holding the Preliminary enmination under conditions allowing of honours and distinctions. ·" The fqll list of suoaesses ie appended as follows ;.-

Mr. Moulder be~an his activities in his new sphe.r e amidst the congratulations of both past and preseryt boys.

The old boys were quite elated \\1 hen, they heard that one of their number was ap pointed Pr1nc1pal. Most of them have been connected with Mr. Moulder and they know that his calm and dignified demeanour must have a beneficial effect on the future career of their sons and younger brothers.

The new boys did not know him personally. Most of them, however, had heard that the Inspector of Schools was formerly one of the most popular masters .a t Queen's. they were, therefore, delighted at his appointment.

Many boys know nothin g of Mr. Moulder's former· connections · with the old school. The following account will certainly interest all of these.

He entered Queen's College at the age of nine and at length. after a series of successes won the British Guiaria Scholarship. He then proceeded to Merton College, Oxford, intending to iraduate in Classics, but was compelled to modify his studies. At the end of his third year he obtained the B.A., degree with honours in Modern History.

On account of l'\is reticence very few are acquainted with the i.;plendid work he did for the progress of the institution throughout this period. We shall only mention here that hi!'! pupils obtained 68 di stinctions in the Cambridge Locals and that he was our authority on all athletic affairs.

In 1914 he was appointed Inspector of Schools and in 1~2t, he returned to u s. Hi s success, we think, is certain.

The season under review was very disappointing indeed , and the results were not at all satisfactory when the strength of the team is con sidered. The batting was subject to sudden collapses . Whenever Mr. Moulder failed we seemed to lack heart. The showings a~:ainst the C. U .C.C. and A.~.C. were lamentabl y pool', and w hen the batting against the D. C.C. and G. C.C . is considered, they were inexplicabl e. The bowling- was stro n g, Fitzpatrick, ii, and Shankland i, being very good- while Shankland ii, was again a di sappointment. Lewis was unsteady and Field bowled well only once. Our one win, against the B.G.C.C. was well deserved, and if many of the matches were played out we would have won them. Mr. Harewood offered a bat for the .first 50 runs to be made by a boy and this was won by1Fitzpatrick i, Mr. Moulder offered a prize for the best performance of the season, and this was won

by Vivei ros.

He captured 8 of the C. U.C.C. men in our match against them. It was a great performance, indeed the only bright spot of the match.
