Pack 27 Wins

"New Look" French Oral Exams.

The eighty candidates who offered French at the recent London G.C.E. (Ordinary Level) exams were in for a small surprise. Oral French ls compulsory nowadays, but the old-style reading of a passage followed by questions on it has had a unique addition. The candidates were examined two at a time.

Here is the system : While one is being examined in bis reading, the other is given a picture to look at. They then change- and the first is given a picture {not the same one> while the other faces his reading test.

Then each ca:idtdate is in turn questioned on h.ts passage, on the picture, and on nny topical event or a.bout himself. It takes about '20 minutes for each pair of candldates.

One happy f~ture ls that the

candidate may l)rEng along his own book, provided it ls a. continued text, and choose his own passage for reading ! He may be asked to read an additional passage, however.

Q.C. does not take this exam but Messrs. H. A. M. Beckles and R. Allsopp of the Q.C. staff were this year's oral examiners. The two oathollc Convents, St. Stanislaus College, Gulanese College were among the schools that entered.

It was officially announced on Thursday, 1st May, that though British Guiana had not succeeded in securing any of the open scholar- ' ships tenable at the University College of the West Indies, she had yet obtained two Exhibitions. One of these went to C. V. Lewis. a. pupil of Queen's College, and the other to Miss T. E. Lawrence, a. pupil of the Bishops' High School.

On leaving school this term, both Miss Lawrence and Mr. Lewis intend to proceed to Jamaica to take up their exhibitions. Miss Lawrence told a 'Lictor' reporter that she intended to venture from the 'beaten path' and to take up journalism as a career, after graduating, while Mr. Lewis declared that he intended to go into the field of Medicine. To both of them, "Cha.rl:e" and "T. Law", we extend our congratulations; and wish the very best of luck !

Big Shot Cadets We have some quite promising shots among us-apart from out accepted good shots-for mf!,nY of our boys ha.ve shown promise on the miniature range, Most of these cadets, however, are not taking advanta~e of the open range shooting facilities provided bv the Rifle Club's Block Membership scheme, and thus the standard of our shooting on the open range is not wh11t it could be.

Looking over the results of the Rifle Club shoots held during the year, we find that the few cad~ts who do shoot. have made quite creditable scores. Sgt. Clarke was the first (and only) cadet to win a Block Members' spoon shoot (on June 28th) for the year. up to the time of writing, whilst L/Cpl. Rickford holds the''record" for the highest score (81 points out of 105) made by a cadet for the 1:,eason. 'rhree Block Membership spoon shoots have .occured this year, the cadets' results (We have also included the winners') being ai. follows : (Maximum points, 105).

April 5th 1st L/Cpl. Edghill (B.G.V.F.)/ 83. 4th Sgt. Wishart. 70, and 5th L Cpl, Rickford, 68. Fourteen members shot.

May 3rd. 1st Sub-Isp. Sampson (Police), 69, 3rd Sgt. Clarke and L/Cpl. Holder, 63 and 5th Sgt. Wishart. 62. Fifteen members 1:;hot June 28th 11:;t Sgt, Clarke, 78. 3rd Sgt. Wishart, 73, 6th C.S.M. Jaikaran, 64 and 8th L/Cpl. Rickford, 63. Twelve members shot.

On Friday May 16th, Sgt. Wishart and L/Cpl. Holder (who has recently joined the Volunteer Foroe) were included in a team of eight, representing the colony ~ainst the H.M.S. Burghead Bay. The colony "eight" was victorious with 585 points out of a possible 840, whilst the visitors scored 503.

Sgt. Wishart was 7th with 71/105 whilst L/Cpl, Holder,-it was evidentlv not one of his good days, was 13th with 58.

During our last school holidays, a cadet shoot was held at Thomas.

L/C-01. Holder came out top with 84/125, Sgt. Clarke was second' with 83 and C.S.M. Jaikaran was third with 81. A few others tlso did quite well, but on he whole he shooting could have been better.

More practice is needed, and it is available. The Corps has always had a tradition of producing good ~hots-let us keep up that tradi1on !

"Films At Queen's College" The boys at Queen's College are being treated al.mo.st weekly to a show of an average of three excellent films.

This privilege is among other things due to the gi!t of a film projector by the Colonial Development and Welfare Organisation, the donation of $800 by the Old Boys' Association in 1944 and the loan of fiffils by the Regfonal Library of The Imperial Chemical Industriei; branch in Jamaica. To the last especially, we owe most of our science films. In addition we have had films shown which were lent

by The British Council and The Esso Company.

Until recently, the films have been shown on Fridays by Mr. C . E. Barker, out smce his illness, Mr. Carrington has been operating the projector. Some of the films shown were "Fight Against Disease", "El Dorado", "WaterCycle," "Limestone in Nature'\ "The Synthesis of Ammonia by the Haber-Boche process" by the I.C.I.; and "New York", "Island Oddities", "Air display at Hendon" by the Esso Company; "Two Scenes from Macbeth" which was lent by the Brit~h Council and "Convection, Conduction and Radiation"; these two were shown to the IV A. The projector was used to show some extracts from "Julius Caesar" to the B.H.S. girls.

Q.C. Takes Part

Another House Football sea.son has come to a close, and once again Austin House have emerged football champions maintaining an unbeaten record in both elevens and obtaining eighteen out of a possible twenty points. Weston House W11.S a very close second with seventeen points. One pleasing aspect of the competition was the enthusiasm and ability displayed by many of the younger players.

Follom"ng are the detailed results of the more important matches

Q.C.'s Football team has again done very well in the Reed League matches losing only one match (to the Cb.inese Sports Club) out of five fixtures so far. The boys are in the final whi<:h is to take place later this year against the winners of th e other section, whoever they are.

R.M.C. (IVA).

On Sunday 13th our Senior choir wm be performing at the Plaza and we hope that many boys will attend to give the choir moral support. Besi:des this senior choir, we have entered two preparatory form choirs and two junior choirs.

Several of our boys have entered the Verse Speaking competitions in the under 13 and a few in the under 18 and open classes. We also have nine boys participating in the vocal solos under 11 and five in the under 16 class. Seaforth is competmg in the Open vocal solo for baritones. Butts and Seymour, and Hendricks and G reen are taking part in vocal duets for those under 11.

Boody and Edwards have entered the under 16 competition.

Piano solos and duets for those under 14 have been entered for by some of our boys. Rickford, Cummings, Lee Own, Bacchus and Hope are taking part in violin solos and duets.

Such a festival, we think, not oniy stimulates rivalry, but brings out any talent which lies hidden in our boys and girls.

If this festival becomes an annual feature, "at length e~ch of us may show, what G~iana s sons and daughters can do.
