T is· an established fact, and one considerable importance, that what we do de termines W'J10 we are, and Do one ,,ould be wrong in coming to the conclusio n that the members of Ral e igh House, judged in the light of what they did during the pas t yea r, a re undoubtedly the s hinin g lights or the school.

Despit e th e fa ct that we h ad suffe red consid e rably by the de . parture from s chool of m a ny of our stalwart fe llows we were able to give a good a ccount of ourselves.

The uni ted efforts of both masters and boys and th e grim determiua. tion shown by the latte1· we re t o a great extent r esponsi ble fo r our wonderful success -and brilliant di splaf.

The beginning or the school year gave us a chance to show of whaL stuff we were made. and only too eon vincingly did we show it. Thoug h not the possessors of the best first eleven cricke t team, we were ab le by sh eer effort and co-operation to carry oif th e luter-House cricket trophy after much resistance by the other Houses.

In F·o·ot.ball "I';~ again showed our superiority. · This time we had the best team and us ed it to advantage.

In Athletics :w e tried our best but were nevertheless below the stari. dare! or the oth>: r Houses.

In anothe r lin e we distinguished ourselves; we won th e Cade t Plato on E[fici>:ncy Shield, the e mblem of superiority in the Cade t Corps.

We therefore b a d quite a r emarkable year, wim1ing three out of four coveted trophi es.

at this examination, he mad~ history not only for himself but also for the House and the School. We all offer Low our 'heartiest congratulations and hope · that h e will be equally successful in his studies in Dentistry in the United States.

The House also joins in congratulating C. O. J . l\Iatthews 011 be ing placed first i1\ th e 1937 Guiana Scholarship, fhough he is not a member oi our House.

And now that Raleigh House has again shown that it is really the sllinillg light of the school 1 take this opportunity or cougr~tulatiug the boys on their wonderful performan ce, and exhort those members of the Raleigh House or the y ear !::ieptember 1937-July 193S to try to retain all th e g lory ancl prestige for which we have 1J.3en notecl. Theil· task is by no means an easy one, and they must therefore not be lax in their .end eavours.

The task of maintainin.g is just as hard as th at of buildi1ig, bUL it is much easier to maintain a reputation than to start all over again to build and mainta1J1 one · so boys of Raleigh House, fo1· the ·1bve of your House, nev.e1· try _to lower its prestige, G. \V. S. TALBOT, (for late Captain).

URING the past year Austin D House has fought hard to r egain its lost laurels. During the Autumn Term the I11ter-House Cricket Competition was started. It was said that our elevens w.e re not up to standard compare d with the other teams, yet fighting agaill'st great odds, we were able to defeat "A" House in our first match. Although we came last in Footba!l, our boys displayed th eir sporting spirit.

Howe ve1· "C " House was able to retain its · honours in the athletic field. At the b e ginning of the year our "Senior Champ," Leslie Lord, left the Colony, but his place was soon filled by R. W. Bowling. We also carried ofC tbe Junior Championship by the wonderful p.~rfonna11ce of that brilliant young, Ster Guy Cozier.

1 re g re t to . say that for the first time in many years Austia: House was ·unable to hold its annual Social Function. This was due to lack of co.operation among our boys. It is hoped that during the coming year our boys will co-operate and have a bumper banqiie t.
