Foreword.

I fear that owing to the inevitably busy time ne has just before going on l ave, I have omitted to hand to the e litor the few lines I promised for the Magazine. A polite little note which I found in my cabin after leaving Georgetown suddenly reminded me of the omis ion, and so I am posting a letter from Paramaribo in the hope that it may be in time.

Rumour has it that the forthcoming issue of tho ~agaiine is going to contain some l'eally good things. 'fhe old Boys, I know, are being asked to send in ,uticles and I have little doubt that all thoy have to tell us will make very intersting reading.

The past Term has been a busy one, especially in the sphere of athletics, the Inter-collegiate Sports following shortly after the College Sports. Both events were carried through very successfully and I think we all agree that the sporting spirit shown by the three competing teams and their supporlers dUl'ing the Intercollegiate meeting was most pl ,asing. Long may these friendly encounters between the secondary schools of the Colony continue! We now meet in athletic sports and in cricket-perhaps we may be able to arrange to meet in soccer.

After three years at Queen's, I feel that I know her boys well enough to be able to say with confidence that they know how to take their successes and their failnres-to exhibit quiet restraint in both cases, not to the e.,clusion of course, of the inner feelings of gratification in the former and of sadness in the latter. Such are the wa s of boys who have a r eal pride in their School-and I have no doubt that Queen'::: boys are determined to show the world that their 'chool is tm-ning ont her sons not only equipped for the battle of life but also thoroughly conversant with the full meaning of the phrase "to play the game. 1'

Q ~ ~

~~~~E~~~~~E~~ Editorial.

Year by year the task of pl'oducing the cbool Magazine jg made lighter and pleasanter by the nthu iasm with which articles ar contribute :I. In this manual we have article contributed by both past and pre ent tndent of the 'ollege. e regret, however. that wing to the late arrival of some of om· o erseas contributions, we could not have all of them published. But these will C'11l'ich the pages of a subsequent issn .

One year has elaps cl sinco th last publication. D mfog thaL year the College in its outdooL" aclivilies has had a rather uphill fi<:<ht most of the time.

Enthusiasm there was plenty, lmt luck 0f suitable grounds lack of suitable gear lack of regular practice and lacl· of ex perience were serions haudicaps. et our t ams rose to Lhe occa 'ion; and though we have bad our fai lnres, we have nlso had our succes ·e ; the latt r, we believe out hine the former. Certainly we did ju •t as well as we tlid th e pl'eri us .rear, an cl thi with team which were adly depleted in tren!?tb.

Ul' Magazine ha been sold at the low price of one h:illing fol' th past few years · but the number of copies disposed of, apart from pre entati n corie and tho ·e sqppliecl to students of the College has been di sappointingly ·mall, considering the large number of pa t students who, we thought, would wish to kco1 in touch with the doinrrs of thofr Alma fatel'. We are deL rmine l not to abandou hope, anJ t hus we appeal to all pas~ students to become subscribers themselves and bring the Maga~ine to the noLice of other intexested in Queen's.

We wjsh to remind them that an annual subscription of 1.00 to the I rize Fon<l will ensure their receiving promptly a copy of th.is magazine at it every is ne, post paid.

Our last number was issued un ler a cloud of gloom and sorrow ; for we, through lack of funds, had 1•esorted to having it done in a small print,ing shop, where the type was hand set. In consequence of this the publication was delayed for some m onths, with the resnlt that the date ·f or issuing had to be constantly changed . 'l'his caused m any to· lose interest.

However, consider·able attention has been paid to U1e printing of this issue, and we are greatlJ indebted to M l'. H . A . Ivt Beckles, w ho kindl y read and cor · rected the proof.sheets, for his many valuable suggestions.

In conclusion, we hope that w have ben fited by om fault of a year ago.

No pains have been spared to mak this Magazine bigger and better than ever it was. It is with the utmost confidence, ther efore, that we place befor e our read· ers this bumper issu of the Que n s College Magazine.

Our Annual Sports.

Our Annual Athletic Sports took place on Friday J 6th March, 1934, at the G.C.C. grounds which was as usual, kindly lent us. As the Principal remarked we are lucky in tha,t we can always depend on having such a fine ground.

Tho :ittondanco was large indeed; after the interval all lhe chail's on the lawn w re occupied. About 5 p.m . Ris Excellency anived, and at the end of the sport , listribnted th prizes.

The ri alry between the four houses was very kcon, there being an unn ually la1·ge number of entrants for the varions e ents which caused numerous heal· and semi-finals to be held during the week. 'l'his wave o.f enthusiasm was cau etl by the adoption of a new system, namely, the award of points for standard performances. T his system enabled boys lo ga.in points for their houses though they might not be placed fo any event. About 5 1Jer cent. of the boys enter d the various e,·ents. This we believe is n record number of entl'ies at Que n's.

Mr. J. . Vcerasawmy, an old boy, kincUy consented to act ::ts tarter and we thank him.

Two re ·ord.' were brok en, both in the over 1:, division. In the Cricket Ban, Rayman made a record throw of 102 yards 1 fool (i inches beating Lovell'.

Cricket BY

E. SMITH GILLETTE. Om Crickel la t year has been one of pleasant SUL'pl'i:es, Lbongh om: r esults have noL been pm:ticolady remarkable. Th tearn has pulled Logethet· in a very creditable mann l', and we have ther fo!'c been able tn pnL up a fail'ly goou show.

Before I pr c eel to giYe an acc011nt of Olll' doings, I musL state lbat we ar greaLly iudebLed Lo fr. J . A. Veern awmy fo t· his generous offer to give us instrucLions, and lhe xcmplar fa ·hion in whic:h Lbis not-at-all-easy task was performed.

During the earli er part of the season, onr performances except for our bowling, ·w ere on many occasions poor. Rolierts, a new member of the Learn gave a very good exhibiLion with Lhe bat throughout th season, amt was as ·isled in .many big parLnerships by Hodge, out· veteran !c[t-hancled bat wan. [can·wltilc, om· bowling continued to b qt1ite np to standard and pal'licularly g od on many occasions ; only one team ma.nag d to score more than 150 rn ns agc1111 l us. Isaacs bas ·erLainly had a s uccessful year with the leal,her. Om lielding on lhe whole was fail', but there i room for imp1·0Yem('nt.

Inspire<l by the prospect of heing the fir t to pla ·e ou1· name on tlie Cnp which was so genero11:ly offered by Mr. C. R. Jacob for Inter-Collegiale Cricket, an<l by tbe carefnl tnition of ]\fr. J . A. Yeera awmy, we made a few strides in the Garnett Competition ending u 1 with at tal of 11 points. In om H ing Cnp ent rprise, we fared a little betLer and wcr well on the way to success when anoLher club called " Check " npon 11 •• Hard Luck I N evcrth eless, we cam armed into the Inter-Collegiate ai·ena, ancl after witnessing the St. tanislaus and B.H.S. duel, proceeded to do onr part of th contest.

After defeating Berbice High School, in which Hodge by a mai·gin of 2, eclipsed the r ecord of 152 held by Mr. foul I er, we met and trounced t. Stani laus College on the G.C.O. Gronnds in the final for the Cnp, through the perfect co-operation of our t~am. 'l'his victory Cl'Owned our achievements for the season. which, though by no means exceptional, still showe 1 improv ment. With th new "finds" that· have been spotted, and the all-round imptovement shown, our hope for this season are high ; and on account of the rai ing of the Guiana cholarship, we hope to have ·boys who will be older and more xperiencecl than our present boys.

Our last ca.ptain, Sne has leil TI.' th.rough a fail'ly snccc sful flCa on, though at the beginning he obtained a fractmod finger, which kept him out of action fo1· quite a while. 'Ne have before us a big eason, and with regular and serious practice, we hope ,mcl intend to make it a bright one.

Cricket Characters BY

C. B. MOWATT. Mr. C. I. DRAYTON : A good lef t hand all-rounder and opening bat. He hfls fl var iety of tine shots, his favourite being the '' hook." He is a safe catch and a ver y good slow bowler who gets the "nip" off the pitch.

A. 1\L SUE : Late Captain and a good bat. H e is very strong on the leg side and can be both aggressive and defensive. A sound field and safe catch and a very lucky change bowler.

G. HODGE : Ex-wicket keeper and a sound left-hand bat. His style is a biL cramped, but that does not hinder his batting. H e is ver y strong on the off. Drives perfectly. A fair field and safe catch.

E. G1LLET'rE : Keen and energetic Captain and fast bowler of the team. Bowls a steady length and keeps the ball on th e wicket. Also turns both ways, but should practice the "bocTy s-ving." A sound bat with a crisp fate cut. Good field and safe catch.

A. W. ROBERTS : A very defensive opening bat who plays every shot perfectl y, and times the ball well. Owing to his defensive atti tude, bis sco ring is slow and he sh ould practice being agg1·essive. A good slip fielcl.

M. S. RAYMAN : A ver y aggressive batsman with a free ancl easy style. Defence, however, is poor, and he should practice in this d irection. Bowls both slow and fast ; but is more successful when bowling slow. A very safe catch.

E. B. E Y'r LE: Chance bowler and fair bat. Has a tendency to walk into the wicket and should get out of th e habit. H e bowls ti slow leg-br eak and is a bit lazy on the fi eld .

8. A. HARDING : A fair all-round er.

Bowls a slow, good length off-break.

Should practice the leg-break. A fair and defensive bat and fields well.

A good catch.

A. E. I SAACS : A ve17 p1·omisi11g slow-bowler. H e breaks both ways and often bas the baLsmon playing at "space." Fai1· bat and poor field.

W. W. A,;·EnY : A forceful batsman and good field. H e is fast on his feet ancl can also play a defensive game. "Picks up " and " throws in " accun1.tely and is a safe catch.

C. S. McLE1IN : Has improved much as a cricket"'r· Bowls fast r ight-arm and exploits the back spin well. As a bat, hits th e ball very hard and can be depended on in an emer gency.

E . DRAYTON : One of tne younger members of the team. A quiok-footed righ t-band bat with quite a few ver y useful scol'ing strokes. A good field and safe catch anywhere.

Mr. C. E . BARKER : A defen. ive bat with a :ouncl off drive. Leg play weak owi ng to his slow foo t-wol'k, and th us loses man y r tms on th ' log side.

The major iLy of the players of om 19n~ soccer team were new-com er s to league football which hanclicn.pped u s a gr at deal. It took them abont three match es before th y were able to unclerstancl each other. Tl1 e defence wn good bnt the forward line Jacked combination wh ich c..1,used many golden oppor tunities oI scoring to be lost. In spite of all these d r,nrbacks, we WOl'e far from being th holders of tho wooclen spoon. We alway• went on Lhc fi eld wi th the deLermi nation to win, in spite of tho r eputations· of our oppon nts, and with this spirit we came ont victOl's in the majority of our matches.

If any boy wants to play a good game of football, he mu t first of all learn to kick a ball in tho correct way. He tb n ha~ to kn.ow , hat to do if h is playing in goal, at back, half-back or in t he fol'\vard-lino. \. goalkeeper must he full of spring, ready to anticipate, ancl sm e i n gaLh ring. hack must undc1:stand h is partue·r , and not for get t hat he m ust cove1· the other when attacking. Th haltbacks mnst always stick to tl1eir men and pa.<Js the Lmll to one of the for'wards whenever it is possible. They must n ever· kick the ball towards their opponent's goal without a for ward being in place to receive it. 'Ibe forwards ha e to do all the attacki ng. 'l'hey must keep i n their respocti,re positions and m ore still, never crowd each oth r. They mnst always go an l meet the hall, n ot wait until it reach es them; never forget there ar c five m.en in a forward line ; shoot hard and place the ball, If th ese hinLs ar borne in mind, the t arq is certain to lo well.

ow each Hons Prefect collects the views of the boys in his section, and presents them to the House Committee. The decisions macle are submiLted lo the House Master, who, on approving of these suggestions, suuuncns a house meeting and announces our next m ov . Thus we h ave all our boys eager to participate in the new vent or events.

Iu lhe inter-house competitions clming la t year we -were very nnfortunate ; for we, alth ough quite well t m ned out, could not win any of the shields. lu the soccer comp tition we played fairly w ell, winning some and lo:.ing some.

During t he \.ntnmn Term inter-house cricket was star ted. Om 2nd XI was strnng, winning all thei1· matches decisively, but our 1st XI was somewhat weaker than those of tbe other houses. This toumarnent was abandoned and a new one star ted last term in which we were not so succes ful. In th e recent A.Lilletic 'ports we succeedecl in upholding onr r eputation by winning the Inter-Honse 'l'ng-o'-war. Howev r, our flag is being hoisted, for we wer e the runners-u1,.

I n the Xmas 'J'erm ,ve depar ted from he order of house "Feeds," for we held a Fair, where indoor games were playeu after a short concert.

Our Fair was well enj o. eel by all. 'l'h Honse offers its hearty congratulations to L. N. Ybap and O. R. E .

To conclude I must remind lhe boys that the snccess of the House does not lie altogether with its leaders, but to some extent with themselves. 'l'he more we appreciate thi s, the gr eater will be our success.

Cadet Platoon Notes The Cadet Corps was revived in September of last year, when a platoon of thirty was formed und er Second LieutC'uants A. St. G. Walton and W.W. Lewis Jones with Sergeant C. I. Drayton as Platoon Sergeant, the platoon being attached to the B.G. Mi litia, We we1·e unfortunate to lose Mr. Walton on his promotion in May. Good progress has been made both in platoon drill and in shooting on the miniature range, in which conn ection Lieut. D. B. St. Aubyn has very kindly given us much assistance for which we are very grateful.

Two parades are bein g held each week in future, one afternoon parade and an early morning P.T. parade while a scheme of work will be drawn up to occupy us from Se ptember to May. The chief events during the year have not been unconnected with inspections and may well be snmmarized.

In December the Corps was inspect d at Eve Leary by Colonel W. E. H. Bradbnrn, Commandant, Local Forces, who was accompanied by Capt. D. R. 0 .

Boileau, Staff Officer. The turn-out and drill were satisfactory.

A display of squad drill by a police squad was most instructive.

Shortly after the in ·pection. the corps went on a training route march with the Local Fo!·ces. , During his visit in May, Brigadier-General J. A. D. Langhorne inspected us twice-at Eve Leary when we carl'ied out a programme of Platoon and Section drill, followed by a March Past, and at College in Physical Train ing.

When th:"e Local Foroes were inspected the corps paraded at the sal utin g base.

We made our first Oeremonia1 Public appearance on June 4th, when we paraded with the B.G . Local Forces at Eve Leary for the cel~bration of the Annivcrsai•y of H.M. the King's birthday. As on pr vious occa 'ions the corps put up a ati factory performance, being complime11te·d by H .E. the Oflicer Administ ring the Government, Sir C. D. Douglas-Jon s.

As rega1·ds inspections the first platoon has set a high standal'd of efficiency, one result of which is that we ar to increase om· strength to i.--.,ty from ept mbel'. This will we hope nable us to run inter-honse competitions within the platoon, while we hear rumours of several ambition schem s-including the layi ng clo,vn of our own miniature range and" camp."

Lest we should be inclined to think that w have no faults we feel we must reoor l that our roll call .'b ow th at we have bad far too many absentees for parades and far too mu ch lateness.

The e faults are most serious and until they are correct d we shall remain at a much lower standard of general efficiency than that of which we are capable.

We have r a.Uy missed the presence of fr. J. C. La T. Potter who alwayii criticised and praised us as the occasion demanded.

We have to thank the Presiden t, Messrs. H. A. M. Beckles ancl G. P . Dartford for th eir presence at most of our meetings wh en they freely gave us some valuable advice, of which, pleasing to say, we always endeavoured to take advantage.

We h ope that the boy~ will continue as enthusiastically as they are going now and we will never be afraid of our society failing again.

After a long period of inaction, lhe Dramatic 'ocieLy was revived . A meeting was held in December 10o3 at whfoh the present office-bear rs were elected for 193 .

At t he end of the Spring term 1!)34., a concert ,mcl cbnce was held by the club, the name of which has been changed to "The Queens College Musical a.nd Dmmatic ociety." This cone rt was a great success and in futlll'e we will endeavour to stage on e at Lhe end of e ery term.

The official badge of the society is a small black ancl yellow button worn at night.

The entrance fee to the society is 12 cents and the terminal subscription, one shilling.

It is hoped that an Old Boys' ranch will be formed so that old members 'may have opportunities for acLing from time to Lime. t present, how ver, this is only au idea as we must learn Lo \valk bcfot·e leaming to rnn. ferubers must therefore do their utmost to fm:ther the aims of lhe society, for the benefits to be derived from .imch a society ar e many.

'l'hese were two very interesting lectures and fully prepared us for our visit to Plantation Diamo nd where we inspected the sugar factory and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with rations of cane juice. l! airly early in the school year we paid a visit to the Telephone Exchange and throu gh Ml'. McKenzie's kin dness were shown around the premises. We followed this wit,h a visit to Wieting & Richtet·'s Coll Storage & Ice Depot where we were shown th~ method of pre erving meat and fr uit and also the way frozen sweets are made. At the conclusion to our unbounded delight, we were all given frozen sweets.

Latel' in the yea!' we· were indebted to Mr. I. M. E. AiLken of the G.S. ~ W.C. for a very interestfog lecture on the "Purification of Lamaha Water." 'l'his was fo llowed by a visit to the Water Works where l\Ir. Aitken show ed us a1·0 nud an d demonstrated to us the working of the machinery He hen took us down into a man-hole and there showed how cleanly and efficiently the pumps drove the sewerage through the pipes to the sea.

It will be seen from the above that the Society has not been idle and as a move to stimulate the growth of the Society the terminal subscription of sixpence abolished.

This was followed by another on •· Rice" by M. S. Rayman which had as its sequel an interesting visit to the Rice Experimental Station, Botanic Gardens, by the kind permission of Mr. Codd who took us around.

Er.rly last term we listened to K. H . N. Low's pape1· on "The Biology of the Sugar Cane." This was follo wed by a visit to the ugar Factory at Pln. Diamond after a paper by J. D. V. Thorne on "The Chemistr.v of the 'ugar Cane.

33 For this term a paper, entitled" Instinct and Intelligence" and prepared by both L. r. Yh.~p and the Seer tary, was i·eacl by he latter. This was the firs lecLUI'e in the evening for this section.

And now we come to the Bee-Keeping Association. In its youth, this Association had ils own individual Secretary. · Now, however, it is looked after by . the Secretary of its pa1·ent Section, who is not, an authority on Bees, and a Committee of two veteran Bee-Keepers. One of these members, McWatt ii, delivered a series of very en lightening lectures, on" Bees."

As regards the Bees themselves, there is not o much to say. 'l'hey ·were getting <;m beaut.ifnlJy, so beautifully, in fact, that we were thinking of in talling a new super, but "there is many a sli p 'twixt the cup and the lip."

There were twelve members ·in the club.

'l'his division w.1s made in orJer to facilitate the use of the colU't by members. The scheme was successful.and impl'oved the play of thti member . Also membel'S of one section were allowed to invite members of the other section or visitors if notice was given beforehand.

The consistent rains during December prevenLecl the holding of tournaments to find out who were the best players in the respective sections.

Once again two sections were formed. 'l'he allotment to sections was done by drawing names from a hat. This system involved the mixing of good and bad players, thus improving immeu ely the standard of play of the latter, among whom are a few newcomer .

Our Cricket Tour to Suddie At the Vl'eed-en-Hoop train stat.ion at 7.45 a.m. on the 18th of Ap1·il, a group of Q.C. youngsters could have been seen and h ar d discussing, with animate 1 gestures, tl1o;ir chances of beating the Ouderneeming chool Boys at Ori ckPr. Under the supervision of l\fr. 0 . I. Drayton, we were awaiting the morning train to al'ika en route to Suddie. We left Parika in a drab olcl tub, appropriately mLmetl the '' Hassar " which rocked an l rolled her WtLY across the E!;lseqnibo to Supenaam making one or two of us feel •ome what groggy.

We arrived at Sucldie from Supenaam after a fourteen-mile bicycle ride during which we covered on~·selves with perspiration and Essequibo red uust.

At Sndcli we had a we!l needecl bath and rub down and then paid om· fu·st visit to the cricket field at Onclerne .ming to have some practice. ' At practice t,h bat men r ceivcd some rude shocks and some still ruder kn ock . The pitch, which was more of sand than turf, was not of t he be. I; and had 1uite a few tricks of its own, the result being that we were always a bit vague as to what the ball was going to do next. It was so diff rent from our Q.C. pilch where the ball sel dom came higher than the wafst. By the t,i me th e tour was finished we looked on bumpers ov r the head as quite usual.

With a bit of luck, we however manag d to win the firs t of the two match es played but lost the seconcl. At the wicket our batsmen we1·e girnn a lively time by the Onderneeming bowlers who, as in most country disti·ict.s, were speed merchants and, with the pi tch ailing them, had us playing speculative shots most of the time. Ono of our bats made th e ·remar k that he hfl l not playetl so much bli nd cr·i cket bcfol'e.

On the other hand, their batsmen were apparently quite at home ancl made it vel'y difficu lt, especially in the second match, for our bow ler· to dislodge them.

It did not seem to disconcert th m much if the ball bounced h ead high or if it did not 1·ise an inch. It was uncanny to see th em hit what, are commonly known as sh ooter , and the e were quit common at Suddie, for six.

Neverthele s, the game were played in the right spirit and were the Eource of much en joyment and fun off th e field, our holiday was in ey ry way as fin e, an l for thi s we ar indehted to Mr. Lawren ce-an old boy wh o played again st us in th matches and was mainly responsible for our downfall- for doing all in his power to make us happy. He organised trips to Lake Iteribisci anrl to Pomer·oon, outings which we1·e as educational as they w re reoreative.

T he Mp to the Lake took the form of a 5-mile tl'ek on foot OYer drifting sand under a bla:i;ing tl'opical sun. Neecll ss to say we were all fagged out by the time we arrived-all that is, except our loug-legged .friend, Mr. Lawrence, w ho did the journey like an ostrich an d appeared qnite fre h at the fini. h. We rested at a thatQh!;!tl house on .the ed~e of the :j:,ake, which is a fairly large one wi th very

I long to see the Queen's old I oys bearing t.he hallmark o( genlility of man· ners, and not boorishness or snobbishn ss, liberHlity and breadth of ultul'e and tastes, and not narrowness of view, 1 rogressivene of thought and keenness of intellect, and not a reactionary or stagnant mind. I cannot buL think that in order to establish a tradition b aring this hallmark, Queen's is i leally situated. It may and I believe foes i uculcate i Lea of the d mocracy of oppor· tnuity and the aristocracy of merit, of brotberline s, an<l n ighhourliness, of interracial amity and harmony. Queen's .from its posilion may and does provide for boys from all sorts oE Guianese homes a colll.lnon me ting gronD l i11 classroom and playground, in library an l laborat.ory, which alone can make po ibl that fusion of ideas a11cl ideals in Guiauese manhood and r es ult in a h·uly Guianese product of high excoIJence .

To help establish and maintain such a kadilion, and to givo it continuous life, a certain duty devolves on Queens old boys, on those who remain aL home, as w ll as those who reside lemp0rarily or permanently abroad. How can th y p rform this duty? By being arl:;iculate in literary xpres ion in J)l'OS and poetry. By dopicliDg the life around Lhem both as they ee iL ancl a the)- would like it to be. By providing for upper form boy and young ol l boys access to books and p rioclicals of current importance, and by fumi bing for them som outl t for di cu · sion and debate which would holp to keep colonial life au cotwant with th main streams of world thought. By awaking interest. among those boys in historical research regarding the laud they live in and its n ighboms through Lhe formation of some historical association, let us say, a B.G. Historical ociety. By providing for periodical contacts of upper form boys anu young old boys with the outstanding men and minds of the day whether re ident or visiting. By offering chola,rships, exhibitions, prizes, or awards for competiLion among these boys to stimulate interest in problems and qn ·t.ions of the day and hour affecting loc.'1.l or colonial life such a are within the rangC' of ambitio11 · and nergot.ic youth, for this would foster a certain "ali en s ' or awareness to th a ·Lnality of their condition in the country, and go fa1· to replace that frequent puzillecl and bewiJdcred air of uncertainty as to where to fit in the scheme of thing . By providing not merely for local inter-school or inter-college comp tition, but also for inter-colo· nial school and college competiti n in sport, for lhis would promoLc that kinship and friendly fellow feeling which would help the colony to work out its common destiny with its neighbours. 'rhese re.fl ctions are put forward not with th thought that Queen's College boys should adopt them as xclusive 1Jt·operty, but with the thought that these boys are fitted to flU'nish the leadorship in promoting the objecti es which ar

That afternoon there was trouble in tho ommon Room. It had ari en from Sam Tuck r's clomon tration. 'am was th i1wcntor of the IVth. Nothing in the wol'ld mattered more thar1his inventions. He had just "perf cted ' a new fingerprint detector which ho had informed the boys, he onlcl clomonsl1·ato. To his dismay tho hoy· did not seem v ry mu h inclined to sec tho demonstration and t.he proceeding which hacl hardly b gun wei·e brought to an abrnpt close by tho entry of the Ca,: tain of the Fourth wit]~ the n w boj.

Now hoys in tho mirldlo of term wore rare things and as Hunter appe:wed Lo be of a genial disposition he was soon bombanled with question . 'l'hus 'fucker had Lo be conlenL with giving his demonslration to his two submi ive stnlymates, 'trako ancl Hal"lrnr.

After dinner Hnntet cal led Stanley aside and told him ho had something private to say to liim. 'J'he C:iptain was vety anxious to h eal' about t.his impol'tant matter.

Then, he got the shock of his life. Hnnlcr wanted to borrow £4 to go to greyhound races that evening.

Ono of th worst l.Jrcaches of school rules a boy coul<l commit was" Going To The Dogs." 'l'his was tho ffrst rule told a boy as soon as h entered Carstowe\;, and tJ.1e punishment , without xcoption, was expulsion.

After recov t-ing sum ·i nlly tanley .·plained wi.th all g1·aviiy the seri.ou.·ness of tho offence and being particularly anxious lo keep up the hon·om of Lbe Fourth he openly warnetl his study chum Lhat if he found out he had been at Lhe races he would immediately report him to Dr. Hudson.

• lthotlgh he had only been there a few hom·s Jimmy Hunter had known t.anle Walker long enough to realise Uiat when he said something he meant it.

Consequently he , as Yery uneasy and felt that Walker would himself be at Hendon Park to see if he entered the ar na.

His fears were justified for five minutes later he saw Walker walking towal'dS Dr. Hudson's house. Most probably lo get leaYe-he Lhought, and immediately set out after him.

II. Dr. Hudson opened the first or n pile of letters before him and withthew a £10 note. He was just about rentling the cont nts of the letrer when ho heard a rap at the door.

• Come in," he saiu.

Stanley Walker entered, bnt before he could speak there cnme a sb1'iek from ontsi le. The headmaster 1·ush d to the winclo,,, but as it was dark he could not see what was the malter and ho told Walker he would r urn in a minute.

Ilunter who was eave. -d1·01 ping in the corridor hid in a recess while the Head r an pa t and anxious to know what harl happt>ned peeped through the keyhole an l saw hi • ' enemy' at the window. But more than that he saw the £10 note on the desk.

His eyes gloamocl. Hero was n chance for 1• veuge. Silently he opened the cloor ancl tip-toed to the de:k. He picked up the crisp note together wi th envelope ancl just us quietly kft the room.

H had got jn t what be wa.n tod-money, and with it a chance to ruin the popular captain of the Folli'th.

After leaving the Head's honso h e ran aero to his study and thore placed the envelop e which had contain cl the mon y on Walker's cltlsk. eizing tho opportunity of the temporary excitement ho jumped on a passing bus au route to Hendon.

When he got back and ent red his study he found Walker still there and after g tting the necessary permission for staying out afte.r " lights out ' he wont away.

Not until he had already left on hls bike did the Head discover the theft.

'1'ho evidence was clear. Nobody hal been in the study aft r he left, except Stanley Walker. H e was a poor lad and perhaps the temptation was too great...

The Head himself went clown Lo Stanley's study and ther , truly enough, was the envelope on Walker desk.

No further proof, he thought was needed, and he immediatel y gave instructions for Stanley Walker to bo sent to him as soon a~ he arrived.
