Sch Jol Year- 1932 & 1933. 37 1

FOREWORD Sin e the issue of the last number of the School Magazine I have had the opportunity of making further acquaintance with the Col ony and the part Queen's has played in its past history, Of her sons Queen's has every reason to be proud and I fed th at the present boys would be sadly lacking in their duty to their School if they did not strain everv nerve to ensure that its good name is fully upheld. There is no need to make a special appeal o the: boys to this end , for I flatter myself that I know enough of their ~.ttit de to their School t::, be able to say that the great majority of them fully realize their responsibilitic s t owards it To make such a !>tatement is to say a great deal, but I say it feeling that the present boys really are trying to live up to their heritage in all the activities of school life-work, ~ames and the many httle 'side¡lines' that do so much in the building up of character, and, incidenta lly to the advancement of the good name of the ~chool Queen's has a great future, I feel sure of that, and the time may come when we shall feel that th ex pansion of the various activities will warrant our issuing the Magazine at more frequent intervals, perhaps once a Term, May that time be at no great distance in the future!

Meanwhile, success to the present issue !

EditoriaJ.

" Straight mine eye hath caught new pleasures, Whilst the jottings l'ound it measures, ScratchJ) lines with ideas lay Where the editorial must wend its way."

(With ftpologies to il1ilton.)

©nee mol'e it is the pleasant duty of an edit,>r to write a leadel' in which the favourite word '' we now beg fol'mally to apologize fol' om· late.

11e I' neerl. not appear. Without this l:lentence no previous editorial was ·omplete and thus for the comiug few years we bavo deciJed to make the wagazine an annual one. As yon know the ta k: of writing an editorial is a very laborious oue, for, as you think about the pro pects of the magazine you l'emcmber tha.t it all depeuds on your leadPr which will be stuck in the front of the book and so will be read first, It is therefore propoi:ied not to write a Jong e<lituria.l owing to the fact that li~ht, short meals a.re more asiJy dige ·ted thHn long ou·~ s; and also th1·ough need tor space.

Since it is customn ry that the ~ditori;.il sboulrl contain a review of the past year, we shall begin stra.ightwa.y to touch on the remarkable events of the year of grace, one thousand nine hundred and thirty two.

For the fir t time the College entered a team of its best athletes for the various events at the Open ~pot·ts held on the G, C. U. Grounds on .Easter M onda.y, This tea.m succeeded in seeming for the school the first _pla,ce io the relay rac.:e, 1wd fir t and second pfaces in the high jump. fa· t in the hurdhis, third in the 220 yds flat race. and third in the 100 yds flat race.

A Wt} are now de· ling with a,th]etic , we beg to sugge t to the boys that th ey try to keep u our record by giving similar or even better perform· ani.;e at tlie luter.. l)ollegiato .Sports to be held soon.

"\Vb ether the Criclrnt aod Foot ball elernn, should be congratulated till undecided, for tLey both failed to emerge near top iu the Garnett and l ns ell uaps co!'.llpetitiuns. H owe-,cr the Cricket eleven wou tho Hing L·up for tbe second time in succession which feat we coos1det· quite laudable. i

This year the teams have been weakened slightly owing to the de- · pll.rture of a few hefty follo·ws. Yet it is Queon,s ( 'ollege after a.11, and their weak teams, a!Jpareutly, usually do bettel' tban the strong on s. Tbis is because there can be no selfii hues~ in ti.le weak t ·,am owing to no indiridua.l being of such excellence ::ts to be tempted to put up a one man show, itnd heuce team work i exemplified aucl the saying "unity is treogtb '' i proved, The ex1t.min;_1,tion resnlts wel'e p rU_v disappointing, p;i.rtly aratifying.

Although we failed to pull oft tbe British Guiana S(;holar~hip, yet we lived np to pfLSt repntation by being ab le to e nter seventy fi.ve per cent of the caodicla.tes, of whom a la.rge majority qualified for the sch::,larship by get ting exemptions from tlrn London Matriculation .E xaminatiou. Also the number of creditable passes in the Lowel' Gertificate Ex.amiuation wrts fair, a will be seen some pages further on.

Having perhaps sucl;eeded in disgusting onr rea<iers with our 'review', we pl'OCeed to out· rua~azine. It will be noticed in this number that t.!J.ere are many more a.dverti emPnts tban before. This is because we ha, e fotermined to mak1:, it entirely self-supporting. We heartily congratulate our advertising a~cnts on their success. .A::, will also be notiued in this issue there are many more pliotograpbs than usual. Tbe e photographs have all beeu taken by amateurs.

UUl'in{! our term of office our chief di appoin.tmeut wa.s that the upper school gave us little support. There contributions were ex:cepLionally few. It is all to be hoped thi'lt it is tbr ug:h la.ck of energy a.nd not ability. It seems that our 011lv hope for achievinla! the neces ary co-operat.ion is to offe1· prizes for such as the •' Best tibo!'t Story" "Best Versifier" "Best Limerick,'' & etc. But ba,ve they not got enough spirit to do the necessary without feeling a loss of energy; and without a rewarrl?

A discussion of this would entail too much time and space, and fag the weari1:1tl editorial brain too muclJ. We now beg to st!-lte that with the publication of this number we vacate the editorial chair, aftee having comoleted a tiresome task which to the average rea.cter may not appear so. However we are quite content, and think that the experience gained is well worth the energy expeuded.

We therefore conclude by wishin g our succe':lsor all possible uccess, and hope that our read e rs will fancy our appl'eciatioo of their appreciation.

We '3et out having had 11. li.1d1t meal As the engine was nob po17erfnl enough to take U'3 and our bagg:uge :-1.ronnd an inclined bend, we had to join i t la1 er after· makin!.( a short <·u~ over a sundhill.

All" thi t ime we travelled at a.n amaziug speed which ,·a.de<l hetwe.. 11 fou1· and .is. m. p. h. To round it off we had to walk for over two miles when the driver tho u"lit that t,he stec-pness nf the downward incline about one iu a hundred would cause our coutmption to go off' t;he rails -:.\ 1,length aud at last, abou t mid-oight we reached H.ockstone, e ighteen and three qu1uter miles from Wisma1·, We pent the night in a. spllCiuu~ rest-hou e, but a.fliOr such a st1·enuous journey we were too tired ,,,·en to sleep.

Perched on the top of luggage in a lorry the hip was very thrilling ; the roadway W1LS about six feet wide and was ccntinually rising anri di pping, The night was spent ia a small rest house by a few of u , but the majorit;y sluo<r the it· hammocks in a building which once served as a hop with living qua.rte rs above.

Early next root·uing we lefc by Kalamadeen' "Flying Ostrich" for Tumatumari, about fihy

'1'11€ next morning-, the s ixteenth of A ugni:t, we set out to climb from Tukeit to the K,iicteur, The tmck was fairly well marked becau e much gr1L s do~s not grow up there. The ~round was 1·ockstrewo, and co,·cred with brown leafy mould.

Now and then lit,tle stren.ms won Id oross our track, until we. began the extremelj steep climb t0 the ~op.

A Disco urse on Bee= Keeping BY ARNOLD S. RHllJEHOLL

Iii would be well for young Bee-keepers to rl'aliae thiit bees ar~ exceedingly seasil;ive. As a watter of fact, they are the most highly devrloped nnimals lower tb,tn mtin. Their pr in. ciples of cvn1muuity-life are perfect. So in the same way as we expoot decent treatment from ou t· fellow buings when we tre .. t tl,.uu d cently. do we expect to be treated by our bees. Iu this way we evolve our fi l'st commandment tho µe ua.lty for breach of which, is obvious .~ Thou 'halt Not Fidget,

Si mple as admi t tlutt courage and bees which

REPORT of PERCIVAL HOUSE House !\Jaster: K 0. Pilgrim, Esq. 13.Sc Ass'r, Honse .Master: H. V. Taitt, Esq. M. A. House Captain : F. H, Lee. This is only my qecoud term as Captain of Perciv,d, and I think the only wise step to take is to follow the example of my predecessors, who ou assuming duties. have made an appeal to the beys for their loyal support.

We did not win any of the various shields dudng the last school year, but this one op1med hoptifully. Iu the cricket shield, we brought a. close second to O'Grba.u House who woo it with ::13 poiu~s, l'erci va.l being 1 point behind. We stn.rted the season by losing the first two matches, but near the end we found ourselves fighting fo1· the first plu.ce. Perhaps, we might have won it, if a.n unfortunate incident did not occnl'

which caused one of our matches to be abandcned, I think it was only due to ceam spirit that we managed to achie,,e that position.

I must cougra.tulu.te A. H. Lam, M. S. Rayman, J A. Mc Kenzie and A, Armstrong for the great help they have gi,eu the house during the cricket season, 11!~0 A. M. due the citptain of '•D'' House who made a century in fine style against us.

We must welcome all the new members. especially P. F . de Caires, the 1932 Guiana ·cholar, who seems to be an asset both to the 1:iouse and School.

As usus.J our annual "Feed" which was held at Christmas proved a success. A sketch was organized by Mr. Pilgl'im, and a recitation was well delivered by A, Armstrong. This wns done for the first time at a ''Feed",

Upkeep thy grnat fame as time rolls away ; Encouragement for all thou seem'st to contain, Ever mayest thon stand great men to train .

N _u mbers are being approyeJ of thy fame,

'So strive on and keep up thy great JescrviJ1g, name. ,. .

Com pet.ency in thy traiuiug of students all can boast.

Ouwal"d keep onward as firm as a post,

Glide on with thy work as a swift flowing river, Eucore 1. Encore 1 Encore 1 Queens College forever.

A Wireless Evening.

By F. R, L,

It was during the hist Michaelmas team we

got t he radio sel to work. Th is seb out of use since the departu re of Capt.

F. Daniel, then only two yei,r&, but by the afforts of our Principal and a few sen ior boys, we were able to get; the set agoing, :it is a short wave set; W1LS

After the end of one of the House Feeds at Christmas, a party of boy!! weut iutu the lab, There we tl'ied to tune in, but with very lil;t!e results. Wben the operator couirl uot pick up a station, the only sound we managed to hear from bim was ''oscillating violent,ly,'' 1rnd these words were uttered bv him about; a dozen times durnig the night., "Motor Boating" and '•Ground Noises'' were heard most of the t ime. until unexpected! y a st.ation would be p icked up, 11.nd, a few words hear d or some fuuny sounds, and and theu mo re '·motot· boating" Mennwhile t he operator was trying his best, but the set was still oscillating violently and only a,eroplunes seemed to pass one after another. Eventually we managed to pick up a station, but as tbe orera.tor took his fingers from the tun10g dial;i, the sta.tiou we11t with a ba.ng, 'l'his was due to the "Hand Capo.city" as it was termed . We tuned in aga in but insteu.d of picking up the same station which was the Americ1LO ooe, we he,Lt·d some funny sounds which were concluded t o be French , but, yet very plea8ant to hear, It was gettmg quite lnte so we bad to "::3hut Shop" aud wend our ways home as quickly as possible, 'Ihe next day we laughed at the operator with h isfuuny antics and excuses of "H1md Capecity•' etc. I was told, howevor, that this was the type of Aveniog usual ly StJent in Queens Coll ege lab . when even all tke "radio exper t.a" were present. These evenings generally lasted fr om eight o'clock to ten, Now my last worrls to a.Ir who may be inclined to spend wireless oveoings are ' alwa.ys see and hear the,, ............. b~fore you decide,'

HOBBIES. (ANON.)

Eve1·y normal schoolboy should have a hobb.v.

Al lowing the time spen t ali school. in sleep, eating and games, a boy usually has about fo ur hours to spu. re pet· day.

The chief hobby is tuck, and some boys spend all their spare time in the tuck-shop. Thi':! hobby, however is apt to be a trifle expensive, aud 1 in some cases. bl'ings one into uopleasancoot11.ct; with medicines of val'ious kinds . Photography is quite popul ar. It ueeds, howevenq uite a lot of patience, fa.ith and money, Thel'e is a say ing t hn.t the " Camera never h es' but the be~in ne l' should not believe i n t h is.

He will see houses at quite uo romfortable angles cars, trains an d peopl e doing queer iitnnts; bla11k spaces where something should have been etc., etc.

But in spite of these liLtle draw backs he should persevere, Observing one golden l'ttle.

"Never try to t.ake A photo,~raph of anyone you ought to respect,, because , when you show· there t be result they may not be :flatter ed; in f,t,Ct, they may become qi.vte excitPd , especially if their face happened to be a bit mixed u p with a part of the moto r ca.1· left ove1· from the last snapshot."

Stamp collecting also quiLe n. common hobbv, The novice should avoid alt Sl>am ps from old ceipts; stampt" which look the worse for we1Lrj stamps with ou t all the~t· parts; and last but not not least othe1· people's stamps, J'be last rnle should also a pply t o all stamp-coll ectors , It is q uite a. remunerative hobby, A B. G. one penny stamp has heE1n valued at the acceptable sum ot £t2,000 so a,ll you h ave to do is to buy one of the present oue penny stu.m ps .iestroy a ll othet· oopi'3s, and nu.me your pl'ice. Elemeutary my deu.r Watso:a, Wood wo rk is A.Bothel' plea.sant hobby. Boys sho11ld avoid practi iµg on their deoks aud l:Jenches however; it is uot always wise, tuo, to use chu.frs a n~ tables as mate rial as this also cause complice. t1on at home, On t he other hn.ud ru1Lter i-al is hard to get b ut you can al ways use you r head iu cases of dire necesisity. .O oe of the late~t hobbies is bee-keepiug, but this n-eeds a ce rta10 amount of ca1·e. 8aes howeve:r, are admi rable for putt.ing on flesh , and ou r

Secret11ry ha~ consented to aive any one the benefit of his exoeriences in thi;i line.

Another quito interesting hobby is the collection of cli ppings. fl owevcr, these sbould' not be taken from school ma ga zines a.nd periodicals, ns a.11 good stor-e sell them.

There have been exceptional cases of people who h11.v<> taken up a study of music as a hob by, but their ueighboui·ti have objected strongly.

There i . of course no excuse for th is unreasonable atW ude, especially when the instrument is only f;he melorliou~ saxophone, and this should not deter one from be::oming a musician, A11c,lher type of hobby is poultry-rearing 'J'his is a tl'ifle difficult however , and usuall y leads to a.n in pection from' the sanitary autho rities wh ile addled eggs are not exactly the taste of a Connoisseur in perfume : still, the re is one conso lation they make ripping projectiles.

In conclusion it can be said that hobbies do repay the time and CMe necessary to ma.ke them a. success, as can he easily seen fr oru t he cases quoted above,

The marvellous improvement in travelling facilities is also one of Peace's great achievements It is quite true that the Great war did ca.use an unexpected advance in the buil ding of aircraft but this same advance needed the calm and deliberate effocts of peace, time to further i t to its present position. 8peed, endarance long distance, comfort aud safety are now the essentials of the biu afr- linors.
