CE AGAI , after a lapse of two years, -the school magazine makes its appearance.

This magazine, you will notice, is chiefly a record of the school activities for the year 1938-1939.

We have not found it convenient to include the activities of the year 1937-38.

I do hope that my successor will be prompt in releasing the next issue of the magazine.

It is certainly my a terminal and not an does not permit this. dence to the day when

opinion that annual 9ne.

Anywsy, we we will .have

the school magazine should be The cost of printing, however, are looking forward with confiour own press.

I must thank Mr. Balchvin for his as i tance and advice and for acting as censor.

I appreciate very much the help received from the senior boys and chiefly the advertising agents.

I do hope that junior boys will not he itate in coming forward with their contributions for the next issue of the magazine.

Owing to the war, ,Jans for the new building are in abeyance, but I am confident that, once thi struggle in Europe is over, Guianese will unhesitatingly supply the funds necessary.

Once again we must thank our advertisers fol' their support.

I am sure that evety m tnbei- of the school will give hearty support to the Magazine.

Idea fol' improvement will be welcomed.

To the old boys we send our greetings.

Sereral games were arranged by Mr. Baldwin, our games-master, d spite the short notice we had of their intended ,•isit.

The visitors wern very keen sportsmen but we pro·v ed ourselves more tlian a match for them iu almost every game we played.

W11ile they were l1ere, we tried to maJ·e their stay as pleasa11t as possible. Ou their last Friday here, ·we put on a dance for thorn. They were very chummy aa1-0 so it wa" 11ot ,Jong ,before tl1ey could make tbems lves at home and enjoy what little we bad to offer. Thev all enjoyed themselves immensely.

Theil· masters expressed their admitation for our keenness and teamSllirib and congratulated us on our Ylctories. We thanked them for the ir compliments and wished them better luck nex·t time.

Res ults of the Tour:

Cricket: We made 224 for 6 wickets declared, (Parker 57, Croat 60. Crane 4) lo which they replied with lG!) for all (Bratlnrnite 6 ).

Tbe match was drawn.

Football : We -played two matches; the fil'sl we won by 3 goals to l; !he eecond we lost by 5 goals to z.

This was one of thetr Victories.

Table Te11nis: We played two 1·011nds, both of which we won.

Drayton beat De Verteil in an exhibition match.

Lawn ·rennis: They won all round, except for one set won by Francis.

Chess: Bar ker. om· champion beat Pcpplewell two games in three.

The boys who left school nftel' the examinations o-C Ju ly 1938 were replaced 'by the recruits who bad been ti·ained during Lhe exam term. But the number oE new cadets was not as many as those wbo leCt. onsequently, we were short of numbers at first.

Tn January 1939, Mr. Dartford hacl t.wo squads ot the senior boys

Slow bowling always seems to prov l1i s downfall, and if h e should p ractice more seriously, would be ab le to overcom this difficu lty.

J. S . T ·AL BOT: The most versatile bowler of fhe ,side. He can ·bowl slow, m dium or fast. "\¥hen lrowling slow, he is liable to bowl too many full ,pitches. When h e is bowl ing medium he bowls. a very good off;break which is very pu7.z\ing ,t o t he wt men, but if he is 11it for a four or treated a bit roug hly he wan ls to bowl fast.

E. PAR K ER : A newcomer to the team, but has proved one of the best bats of the team. He is Hable to ,go at the new ball too quickly.

This miglit prnve fatal to him in the future. He fields well, bnt should be more nergetic i11 the field.

G. LORD·: He was the baby or the tea m this year. bu.t was by no means the baby when it came to ecorin,g runs. He bits the b-all ve1·y hard for bis size. his oif.clrive 1s somewhat unorthodox, he seldom misses and it is a pretty shot to watch. He is th second wicketkeeper of th tea:m. Of late he 1rns not taken this part of the game a.s seriously as he s hould have. My a dvice to him is. there is always room for a good wicket-1;:eeper in a ny team .

J . PAR K E R: This player -shows ·g reat p romise. He is a newcom er to the tea,m, but has done fairly well. H e plays well all around Lh e wicket. H e should take the g'!1J11e mol'e seriously if be wis'hes to ·be a very good crickete1·. Hi.s Eielclin.,. has imp1pved greatly which was dne to much practice.

H O-A-S H OO: J. H as batted throughoU!t the yea r with consist· eut succes":l. The cut is his b est stroke, but he tends to exploit tl1is a bi-t ,too much. A slow bowler who is a veritaibl clanger to any force· Cul batsman. A very good catch and a brilliant field who, as captain. .bas set a very goocl example to bi team . <L. F . D . ) J .

He bowls a good leg break and should concentrate more 1n this departmen t oC the game. A fair field near the wicket.

Football Notes.

(By L. E. BASCOM )

· At tile commencement of the football season, our team, through lack of practice ancl long abstin· ence fl'Om lh. game, was very w a!, aud lost most of its league matches.

Howeve1·, in our hour of need, Mr. 1 vor Robinson consented to coach us for a few inoutb.s. Mr. Robinson and Goring, our captai11, organised regular praclices and our team steadily impl'Ovecl. So, from the tin-

enviable 1msition of being the weakest team in Seuio1· League Foctball, we rose to a fafrly J·espectable po.sit.ton, winning thl'ee match es against Artillery, lnfa11try and St. Barnabas tea.ms. v\Te were also able to rea •11 two semi-finals.

We must thank ltr. 'Robinson very much for coming to om· help at a time when we needed him most.

JAJ'1J~Y of this ye111· I endeavoured to give lhe boys a practical demonstration of bow ping-pong was beiug played in Englllll1<l, France, and E.g y,p t, It seemed to me th at the besL way we coul d impro,,e out· attacJc was bY developing more varied service, and cultivating accurate fol'ehand and backhand driving.

For belter defence greater confidence in returning SJ>in service amd the use of tl1e chop fo1· keeping a hitter under control w r needed.

Afler being able to play the various strokes. a plaYer could show his individuality by his strategy and determination.

The immediate effect of my demonstration was, Lo say lhe least, un xpectecl. Small boys got hold of books. bits of slate or wood. and wilih these as racquets showed their nlhusiasm noisily i( nol !!kiHully. r don't think that the makers of t11e rule about, 110 restriction in size or shape o[ racquets had anticipated

ibis. However, we soon had three tables going and every boy interested, from 'Form I up, could have a decent knock.

T hal the general sta ndard o.f play fo111])1·.ovecl c e>nsicl, r ~bJy is certain. We are proud lo have in tibe School lh Colony's bampiou singles player.

the beginning of the Sprlug AT Term.

1939, w·h at had been a rumour for a long time at iast materialized in solid fact-a Quee n's College Teu,n is Club was formed, t haa1ks chiefly to Mr. Becldes.

Membership was resbricted to fifth and sixbh formers . About twentyfour boys joined at once and, rou ghly s,pea.kiug each plaYed t-w ice a week. t first there were only two courts, an d boys had to play from 3 o'clock so as to be finished in time to allow the masters t,1 commence their gam e at 4.30.

But later on two more courts were atlrled up ab Thomas Lands and the 1Joys usually <had thes e all to themselves.

IBy the end of the school year great improvement could be seen all a1'()und , and this was in no mall way clue to Mr. O. D.

It cannot be said that the Chess pl ay-eel at Queen's College is dull. T he games create great excitement when in p-r-o gress ancl au onlooker would a lmost thinl{ iL a ip,bYsical g,a.me.

Durin,g the last schOol Y/earl we played several simultaneous exhibition s. The result was somewhat di ap1>0inting as in many cases we succeeded in getting only about three s uccesses out of a dozen. It is h,01>ecl, however. that the sta.ndarc1 o·f Chess in the scl10ol will improve with the acquisition by the Queen's College Library of a book on hess combin a tions.

The 'MacShiue up 1ess Tourna.ment took place at the beginning or th e presen t year. the schools competing 1>ei ng Queen's College. St. Stanislaus Co llege, •antral H igh School , a nd Mod e rn High School.

We did not h a.ve much trou bl e in ann ex in g the cup .as we had players Of more mature experien ce.

We have 1100 been able to hold an ofncial School ha m1>ionshi11 Tourn ament yet. but we hope to clo so soon. Judging by the keennes shown d,uriug the past .school year. this tournamen should ,p rove verY interesti n,g and it may be possible to nia.ke it au annual £ixtur e. Meanwh ile, th,e c1ub is Einnly esbaiblished ancl Chess has a. bright f u~ure in th e School.

years have passed since our ~ last report appeared and allho11gh in that reporb the House was asked to show the others what !h y could do. we must say that we have failed lo do so.

Thal is not saying that we l1ave nol hoen doing well: our reputation for being the best sporLs111e11 Jrns b en uph ld , and thab is inot all.

W1113 11 all xpectecl us to ,be plac d !Ast in a tbletics, we finished up s<>cond after an exceptionally bl"illlant displaY. Aud indeed. we were v 1-y nearly first. In other plrnses of Sport. however. we were not. quite so fortunate, ending up fourth in both cricket and footlJall. 1,Vfost of our adets have been doin g very well, but as ou r House Platoo1t was mucl1 unde1· strength, we did ,n ot gain as many points as tl1e other Houses.

W must appeal to om· boys, especially tbose :from Forms IVb up. to join up.

Owin g to tbe fact that we were all Yery busy at Christmas time. we did not l1olcl our Annual Feed then.

Instead, it was held early in M:aY, arte1· th Easter Holidays . Tt turned out lo be, as usual, a n·eal success, and although ,wA did not l1ave apl)l s. owing of course to the Lim of tlle year, th boys enjoyed themselves immensely.

•

"A" House bas really done brilliantly well during the pas.t year.

We are handicapped by the fact I.hat most of om· bovs are very small and ai·e therefore Cightlng against su1>erlor forces. In a iihort while, however . these boys will be able to defeat any other team.

We can do no better but to insert the l"ast paragrap,h of our J.a:st r eport: "Now "A'• House. we have been showing the school for a consider· able time that we can lose like gentlemen. and the time has come for us to resign o'Ur title to the wooden sp oon , a nd cc•llect t he other trophies.

Heads of Heads.

(By INSANE)

The heads of certain boys have become popular at college these last two years. The extraordina1·y thing about this statement ill that these hea-ds are popular, not because they possess -alacrity for solv· ing geometrical problems, nor ranslatin,g stiff pieces of Unseen, but bec_i!use they have peculiar shapes.

The following abnormally grooved and indented nuts are the most famous of these peculiarly mouldej skulls-The Alert Head, the Socket Head, the Bullet 'Head, the Nichibam Head, the 'fish 'Head or Mallet Head (major), Ma1let Head (minor) and heese HE<ad.

Less popular, but just as famous are the Hanis Head, the B. 0. P .

Head and the Weathercock· Head.

The last group of heads are jn:3t as odd and abnormal structm·es as the first group, but these heads ha-v,e la ken sa fert.y i11 covering. They wear their skull-coverings morning. noon and midnight. ,A certain gentleman of this group, is known to have worn his exceptionally exten ive "bu,o--house" one midnight.

A b11g at mid11igl1t....Marris that'\:, too bad~is as ,b ad as wearing sun shades by night. .rs iL that this gentleman is ashamed of his "caput?" Yes! 'He ought to be. It is of ,such "Teat ma,,,"'Ditude and funny pattern. Or, is it that he is a.fraid tliat be might contract a cold from the dew? This ·1atter theory sounds p 1 a u s i b I e for his bead sufficiently colos<,al to take up more dew than any other two heac1s of this group put together. And boy! that is saying a mouthful. 'f11c other heads of tbe group-tbe B. O. P. Head and the Weathercock Head--are laugh irritants. You.

must la.ugh ttntil your tummy aches when you see these heads fo1· lhe first time. But tbe isecond Lime you see tbem, your laugh is ut ~hort by the sudden pity ~ hich you experience for these midgets-not mighty little midgets.-but midgets with mighty big beads. How a little shoulder like B.O.P.'s or Weathercock's can carry ~uch a hu,ge •b lock is a strangie mystery.

The first group would need more detailed study.

The members of the group are as well known in coll ege as H itler is in tbe news.

H the owners of these beal1S wera decapitated I would move a. motion that the school stub cribe a sum of money towarcls buyin,g a gla'i!s show-case to keep the embalmed heads of Messrs. Chance, ichol· son Davidson, Alert, Petrie, · London-Williams and Massiah .

A deta iled study of these heads will sbow what an excellent collection of comical pates one sees al college.

The Alel't Head became fa.mous as the result or an incident, wbich must be na1·1·aled. One day this g otleman having forgotten that bis 11eac1 is no 1101,mal one, began to swing Oil a cross •b eam just in front of the first form sta.ircase.

The weight of his head, being all concentrated hindermost, pulle<l the poor fellow down on the pointed ,back of tbe skull-box. Then Boy! Oh Boy! that point 11egan to elongate. If that head did not grow · backwards 6 inohes in just asi many minutes then It protruded twice Lhe amount in half the tim,e, and th' is the only alternative.

The Socket Head and the Nichibarn Head mus,t f!J,e taken together for cou·venieuce salre. If these two

g·en tilieJneu deoid'e to b:awe ai tMe a tete, it would be a terrible clash These two a.re relatives, and if you k.now any other ,m embers of this "capital family", you can draw your own conclu.sions. as, regards the attachment of their heads.

Poor Bam, bis slrnll-box Is a.ttac'l1ed too much backwards, and the funny little fellow is always glCYbe:h·otting t r ying to see if exercise would carry down that "supe1·fluity" of a. head. 'He has fo1:gotten exercise more often incr eases than reduces. One tblnks why does he lean fonva:rd when walking, at a 11 angle of 4-5° with the road. Well here comes a great discovery. He does this to ensure that that .massive d1·um of !1is, does not pull him down back foremost. Poor bOy, I am sorry :for him .

B11t I am much more sony foJ· Socket. Besi.cles having s uch an Ir· ,regular, massive, laugh irritating head, he bas no ueclc a.t a ll . His

head is j.ust taclced on to his shoulders. He looks very much like a bell jar on two legs and does remind 011e of one of Mr . Bevis·~ favourite statiement-s, "The queer thing about a frog is. that it has such a pecu.liarly shaped head but no 11eck." Here comes Mr. Mallet lately rechristened Tis,h Head.

Long, iLong ago, one might have heard ai ta.le told of eede voices that caUed in the ,nd,ght in -the g olden fl)aved streets of the long fallen El Dorado.

For stealthily by night ,u nder the triple moons that hurtle s.wiftlY acr,o ss the velvet sky, doom crept out inexorably from the !Black 1Niinaret.

Mighty magicians were the priests or the Black Minaret. Mighty were tbeY, alchemists and sorcerers, and always they song,ht fo1· the stone of th e Philosophers, that strange power wbich wouJd ena:ble them -t o tra.ll'S• mute all things Into the rarest of

Days and. weeks and years he bad Loiled, while strn.nige moons reeled down to the liorizons, seeking lll.e Elixir. Gold and Sliver ipaved the str ets; bla zing ia·mouds, moonglowi11g Opals, pUJ·ple gems o[ strange fire, rueteor-fallen, made of El Dorado a Sl}lendid vision, shining by night amidsl the towering forsts. But a rarer element Thezor songht. Othe1· worlds .possessed it, for the .iutricate telescopes of the Astrnuomers l'evealed its I)resence in the flamiug suns that fill the chaotic sky, maltLng night over El Dorado a. mirror reflecting the blazlllg scintillance or the city, a starcarpeted purp le ta pestry whe1•e the triple moons weave their Arabesque patterns.

So tolled Thezor, und·e r tile Black Minaret, all of glistening jel onyx.

He failed, and again he failed, and at length he knew that only with the God's· a icl could be find Lbe Elixir he sought. Not the l.ittle gods, nor lh e gocls of good or evil, :b1,1t Droodsha, the d,weller or ll1e 1B!eyoud, the Dari, Shini~1g 011 e, Thezor called up blasl)hemously J'rom Uhe abyss.

For Tbezor's brain was ,warped; he had toiled endlessly, and failed as oflen: in his mind was but one lhougllt.

But Thezo1· cried out and hid his eyes. Eor none may l.ook upon the dweller of the Be.yo:nd, lest his soul be blasted forever.

Like the groaning tocsin of a Oyclopean bell came the voice of the DweJl.er, rumbling terribly 1.111der the iBlaclc Minaret. Yet only Th zo1· hearcl it, for he aloue had called up Droocl-esba. ' .ow m)r sleep is troubled," the god cried.

Shuddering . and fearful, still hidin.g his face, Thezor spoke. "Great Drood-esha, J have called your ,n ame.

The darkness throbbed and pulsed.

Ironically Drood·es,ha assented. "Command then, O little fool, command your god'! for always, have men sought to enslave gods, and ever have they succe ded too well."

It may be or interest to note that on each occasiou tbe talk was accompanied .by demonstrations and illustrations. This, assurecllY, was most interesting ancl educative. .:Ourin,g the August. holidays a party or members of the Sociel:• v isited th e Kaleteur Falls and the tr ip proved a great su ccess. Every facility was assured and all h11d a most enjoyable time. At the nd of the first term of the next school year it ls intended that a cience exhlbi· tion shall be held <Bnd this should -prove to be most inte1·esling lo the boys of th school. Witll their cooperation and zeal \Ye hope for a good show.

Let us trust tha.t in the years to come th Science Society will con· tinue to pros,per and to show !ls use to the College.

The Bee-keeping Society.

(By CYRI L B. BR OWN)

1. The ,Bee keeping oclely which was a sul.J-section of the cience Society [OJ· the two y ars previous

'c}

to the first of 'o,·embel'. 193 . was reformed on that dale as a11 in.clegendent society.

The commilLee which reformed I he society consisted of Mr. J. H. Be"is-Presid nt.

CYril B. Brown Serretary and Treasure!'.

M. St. Jail' Harding, F. E. Berk ley V. Ills. R. auth Wiisir-M milers or ommittee.

2. The fir&L m etlnis Of the newly fo1 ·med society was held on ovember 11th when twelve membel's were enrolled. Tt ,was su,ggested lha t each member should put a 'frame in one or l1l bi ves. a 11 cl the socle Ly agreed to lnstal frames for the small chal'ge of 1/· eRch. Most or the membel' had frames alreadY. During the year the memhel'ship rose from 12 to 30. and 3/· were received for Installation of frames. Owing to the Increase of membership E. A. G. Loquan was mad a member of the committee in January, 1939.

3. Th e purpose or lhe society ls to enable its members to get practical Instructions in Bee-keepin,g. During the year the following lectures were given to the members: On Lhe Inslallallon of a QueenPresident.

Mr. I lb g g i u s's ~.dd1·ess toolc the form of a lantern

5. At the beginning or the year, both hives were very poor, one having no queen. A new queen was installed. At Jhst lhe bees bad to be fed with sugar-soluLion. Gradually the hives grew stronger and now it pleases me to relate that both bi\'es are in excellent condition.

Forty I>Onnds of honey were extracted in June and we hope to have another exhaction in December.

6. The Society extends its cordial thanks lo 1.V[r. Huggins who gave very much material assistance to it. On two occasions .Jie seul oue of his men to assist Lhe committee in its work. He invilecl the Soc.lely to come lo the piary ancl see the centrifugal extractor at work-extracting our own honey.

7. After each boy-8 in all-who had frames in lhe hive had received two jars of honey; 1.44 worth of traction. honey was sold arter the At the close o( the year after buying foundations ror some frames $1.54 cents remained in hand. This includes the 3, - received for instal· lation or frames.

8. The year was very successful and progressive. This can be measured by the in<:rease in the number of members, the eagerness with which the members look forward to the meetings. and the sum Lhal we have left. IL was the best year the Bee-keeping ,Society lHtd for some lime-having maue such a long stride immediately afler il had ;been reformed. It is the first time-in my 6 years-that the Society was in a :position to seli honey and balan,ce its budget at the er:d of the year.

Well done, Bee-keepers, Well dona.

There were uoL many meetings of this Society durin,g the last school year. Meetings were held, only during lhe Cbristmas lerm, as during the resL o[ lhe year, the olher activities of the school somewhat hindered us.

We held fou~· meetin>g!S . during lhe Autumn Term of 1938.

They w re well a llen.u cl and proved very interesting.

One was a joint

meeting with th Science Soci ty, and took the form of a paper by Mr. Roddam ou the "Pure Wate1· The informal Supply Scheme ..'' '"nonsense" evelliing which was the last meeting for the term was widely a;ppreciated and proved a great success.

The membership list was limited but the attendance at many ot Lbe meetings was more than Lhe number of members. If this keenness continues, there will be no rurlh r limiting of the members and Lhe Society will be open to Lhe whole school.
