bnce again it is a popular all-rounder, H . V. Chan, who has won the British Guiana Scholarship for Queen's College.

Chan entered Q .C. in September, 1946, as a Government County Scholar and from then on won the following-Q.C. Junior Prize (1947--48), Perciv'al Exhibition (1950), Queen's _College Scholarship (1950-53).

Within the last few months, the Queen's College Library, under the supervision of Mr. J .

A. Ramsaran, M.A., Senior English Master, and Mr. E. L. Archer, has taken on a new and improved look.

Two Library Monitors, A . C. Mekdeci and S. R. Insanally, have been recently appointed to assist in the duties of issuing books and clearing those returned. Book'ii may be borrowed on every day of the school week except Wednesday, by the Upper forms on Mondays and Thursdays And by the Lower, on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Boys can return their books at any time of the day by placing them in the chute that is now conveniently provided near the Library's entrance door. If, however, a boy wishes to borrow the same afternoon of the day on which he is returning his book, he must make sure that it is sent in by a quarter to one.

In the library itself, arrangements have been made to facili(Continued on Page 2)

Early this ter.n, the Principal announced that Mr. E. O. Pilgrim wanted to meet boys interested in forming a co -operative thrift society.

The attendance at this meeting was good and boys listened to Mr. Pilirtm tell all about school cooperatives. At this meeting it was agreed that we should form a cooperative society ~nd a. committee wa~ chosen to go over the rules.

At the next general meeting the rulE's were sh own to the prospectivi> members and the following meeting witnessed the election of a permanent committee which comprised the boys of the provisional committee plus two more.

The permanent committee then met and chose S. E. Cummings as its chaimian, c. w. Wilkinson as secretary, and Y. P. Sharma, L. A. Robinson and G. Baker as sub-treasurers. O;;her members of the committee were N. Layne, N. Grant, 0. Forbes and G. Mitchell.

The response to Mr. Pilgrim's call was gratifYing.

"I am certain that th present Students qt_ Q.C. will achieve greater heights; and I am truly proud to be a Master of this my old school."

A new contingent of B.H.S. students is attending classes at Queen's College this term.

There are seven of them and they seem to be h aving an enjoyable time h ere.(but then, who doesn't ? ) They are Norma Annamunthodo, Savitri Barran, Vilma Binning, Joy O'Jon, Peggy King, D esiree Shackleford, and Chandrakha Singh. Of these, Misses Annamunthodo, Singh, and Shackleford aspire to be doctors; Miss O'Jon hopes to become a nude, and the others laborator y technicians.

The girls affirm that they are quite comfortable, and do not find it a disadvantage to ride over to lessons here. On the contrary, they find the exercise and the change quite pleasant.

When aslted their opinion of our laboratories they say they are impressed, especially with the quantity of equipment. Special mention is made of the Laboratory Assistants, who have given them unstinted help.

These B .H.S. students feel no strain in thei:t: associations with the Q .C. boys though they feel themselves slightly below the level of the class. They unanimously declwe Mr. Cameron to be their favourite Master. (They are taught by only a few of our Q.C. Masters). The girls have undertaken to contribute an article to each issue of the Lictor, and have been very helpful with suggestions for the improvement of the paper. We thank them for their co-operation, and wish them all success in their studies here.

Q.C. LICTOR

PAGE 4

The House Cricket competi• tlon has just been brought to a close, with the ftnal being played between Weston House and Percival House. The final was a onesided affair for Percival which won by 164 runs due chiefly to the brilllant battt.ing o! D. B. Rayman whose scores for the ftrst and second innings were 50 and 66, respectively.

The competition was played in two sections : section A comprising Percival, D'Urban and Austin Houses. and Section B comprising Weston, Pilgrim and Raleigh Houses. It was notice• able, however, that the finalists, Percival and Weston, had not the strongest 1st XI's in their resPective sections, and obtained most of their points by the performances ot tbeif 3rd XI's.

OnlY one century was scored during the competition-that of R . A. Collins {Pilgrim House> against Raleigh House; while there were a number of scores over 50. The bowling throughout was generally not of a very high standard, but quite a few ill• stances of good bowling were witnessed. ;nie fielding and wicket-keeping w e r e keen throughout with Rayman. M . K. (Per<:Ival. House) excelllng in the latter role.

Prominent during the competition, however, was the lack of punctuality on the part of the officials-as well as players. This led to the great number of unfinished matches.-G.C. (VA)

Seldom do the boys have a chance of beating the maste rs.

But such an opportunity presented itself in this term's Boys vs. Masters cricket match played on 30th Ociober on our own grounds. It attracted many spectators among whom were some masters' wives, our School Secretary, Miss Wan Ping, and our Prep. Mistress Miss Dolphin.

The teams led by the Principal, Mr. V. J . Sanger-Davies, and the School Cricket Captain, C. A. Roberts, appeared to be well matched, but when the game was half finished it was evident that the Masters were in for defeat.

Winning the toss Roberts sent the Maste rs in to have the first knock, and soon Mr. Boland was bowle d b y a full toss from Willock. Mr. N . S . C. Came ron m ade his entry, and after a breezy knock of three fours, he pulled a ball on to his wicket.

The Case Cup Ca ptain, Mr. Richmond, was now in, and together with Mr. Eyre, who was ve ry restrained but playing delightfully, added 46 before Mr. Richmond was caught by Fraser off Lee for ~7. Mr. Yanse n did not stay long but Mr. Batchelor, the next batsman, remained for a long time during which Mr. Eyre was given out l.b.w . to Fraser after a w e llmade 25; and Mr. London treated the spectators to an exhilarating innings of 27 before he was bowled by a full toss from Roberts. Soon after this tea was taken during whi<',Jl Mr. Sanger-Davies d e c id e d to declare the innings closed. Mr. Batchelor, who played some attractive strokes, was undefeated with 38; and Mr. Sanger Davies was also not out with 2 to his credit.

THRILLING FINISH black for Q.C., but. just then Mahanger was brilliantly caught

by Frase r whose bowling spell of 3 for 17 turned the tide of battle. In one of the most dramatic collapses ever seen on a cricket fteld thf' 'Saints,' who at one sta ge had 124 for the loss of 2 wickets, w ere all dismissed for 166 runs--only four runs short of our total.

It was a good match, and, though every member of the team is to be congratulated, special mention must be made of Fraser, Lee, Smith (sub), Collins in the role of vice-captain, and Phillips behind the stumps. The two last-named players gave much-need ed advice t o their School Cricket Captain.

C . A . ROBERTS.

On the 30th September, 1953, the long-awaited Jacob Cup match between Queen's College and St. Stanislaus College commenced on the B.G .C.C . ground.

The Q .C. team was naturally a bit nervous as only four members of the team had ever played Jacob Cup cricket before.

On a comparatively easypaced wicket Q.C. batte d first and in a whole day scored a first innings t otal of 170 runs.

Collins batted attractively for 82 runs; and other good knocks were r eturned by Roberts, Lee, and Fung.

The match continued the next day and afte r the fall of De Abreu's wicket, a sound second-wic ket partne rship put on 80 odd runs for St. Stanislaus. Things indeed looked The boys opened the ir innings with Collins and Phillips, and the Masters to!Jed for a long time before they got a wicke t that of Collins who was bowled by Mr. Yansen for 32. Soon after Phillips w as bowled hv Mr Richmond for 19. Then Roberts with his usual hard-hitting and Fung more aggressive than usual added 34 for the third wicket before Roberts was bowled by Mr. Sanger-Davies.

Ramphal then joined Fung in an unfinished stand of 48 when Robertr declared the innings closed• af 143 for 3 with Fung not out 38 and Ramphal not out 26.

The fielding of the Masters was better than expe cted wjth Messrs.

Richmond, Londbn, Batchelor, Wilson , and N.S .C. Cameron excelling; the bowlin~ was steady but the bovs went for the runs which the y needed.

With Miss Anderson the seductive Erl King, the frightened child, and the comforting yet !earful father each bad a different tone, convincing and dramatic. The last words - "the child lay dead" ,__ were so deep and dramatic. that the audience was left spellbound in the moment of silence which was soon broken by thunderous and sustained applause.

"Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix" from Samson et Delilah was probably second only to the Erl King.

Miss Anderson fully brought out tht pleading ancf seductive nature of Delilah; and

when the last notes died away the singer was showered with a large number of bouquets.

The last song of the evening was Schubert's Ave Maria. In this. she brought dee-:r.> devotion and radiance of spirit to the audieoce; and bearing it was a truly moving experience. It was a pity we could not hear more of Miss Anderson, but the Carge number who heard her came away not only gladdened in heart, but also broadened in understanding, and touched by her greatness.

TRADITION AND PRACTICE or

0T FABULA EST"

11

This is a very interesting st ory about one of the practices ..at Queen's College. It concerns the " end-of-period bell" as we know it today. How many boys have noticed that the buzzer goes twice five minute s before, and four times at the end of periods?

This practice is said to have started some twenty-nine ye ars ago in the days of Mr. Peterkin.

He, it is re pc:'ted , was very much against noises. If a cock crowerl, or a dog barked, within a f ew y ards of his class, he sent a boy or boys to get rid ·of the -offending creature•. Well, the IVB. in those days, as their form was the nearest to the bell, was responsible for the ringing of the bell. The boys are said to have had a particular theme (? ) for ringing the be ll, and e very boy used it. Mr. Peterkin, as may be expected, could not bear this noise, and decided to put a stop to it. So the buzzer took its place.

L .A .R.R. (U. !VB)

The Concert Vias put on with the object of raising funds to send a Cadet to Jamaica. It was extremely successful and consequently the objective was easily reached.

Sketches put on by Cdt. Mekdeci received thunderous applause due to the humorous nature of the situ ations they were intended to portray. The vo~alists who were neither Crookses nor Taubers did their best but were unjustly treat ed by a :few members of the back row. A Rong item by the "Snowball Quartet" received rapturous applause at its conclusion.

Cdts. Orin Barrow' and ·Kelvin Adams displayed tbeir ability on the ivories in two duets and the former returned to delight the audience with two popular pieces.

Adding a novel touch to the evenin g's entertamment were t wo dances by the danc.ing team of the Are;,11 and .Suthr rland Highlanders. These men (jUite captivated the audien ce witl1 t h eir &.gility and with their exeeut.lC'n of the 'intricatP parts of the da nces. It was the sword dance, however, that captured ,the show as everyone realised how difficult it ' was to ski!> about in the area formed by crossed sheath anc! sword without touching them.

The skirl of a bagpipe provided a background throughout the dances.

The Scouts then put on a sketch.

"The Guiana Flatlanders," a burlesque of army routine and of the A. and S.H., which was well received. The Finale, a campfire item by the Scouts and Cadets, marked the end of a fine show. The co:1cert was organised by Captam K . N . Maudsley of the Q.C. Cade ts.

On Thursday. 8th October, the finals of the athletic events of the Coronation Games, for secondary school boys, were nm of( on the B.G.C.C. ground, Thomas. The end of the brilliant day saw Queen's College coming out on top of the seven other schools which took part in the sports. Q.C. gained fl!fty points, and the members of the team must be congratulated for their' creditable performance. We captured three of the seven cups offered : the under 17. the open events cup, and the ,AJ:xiool Majeed championship cup. We also secured the first inscription on the beautiful Governor's Shield. By winning 1n these final sports we ended up winners in every section ot · the Games. The outstanding athlete. , however, was not one of our !boys, but Jimmy Durant of the Guianese College w h o secured sixteen points from four first places, namely, in the 100, 220 an,d 440 yards, and the long jump. The competition was clean and sportsmanlike, and the largp, crowd enjoyed a day of good sport.

JAMAJ.CA VISIT It was deci.decl that C.S.M. Wishart should represent the Corps in Jamaica at the tenth an.'liversary of the Jamaica Cadet Corps. This visit coincided with thf' Queen's visit to that isla nd.

The necessary funds were raised by · means of a Va riety Concert on November 14th. In addltion to items prepared by the boys, tlJ.e Highland Danci1lg Team of the 1st Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders gave a display of Highland dances.

GUARD-OF-HONOUR On the first day or, term the cadets, under Capt. Maudsley, formed a guard-of·honour on the occasion o:t His Excellency's visit to the school. At the end of the ceremony His EY.cellency said he was greatly impressed with the general turn-out and demeanour or the boys.

PROMOTIONS There were quite a number of promotions early this term. These we:re : Cdt. ACUi.lllS and L; cpls.

Carmichael, Chan, and YongKong to Corporals; Cdts. Fields Ridley, Holder and Sampson ~ Lance-Corporals.

VALE.TE Some of our 'regular' chaps left us last term. They were Sgts.

Chan and Chin, Cpls. Burnett and Rickford and L; cpl. Boston. To all of them the Corps extends best wishes for the future.

Owing chiefly to the birth of the Remove Form the Corps has now been doubly strengthened.

Recruits ot var10us si7.eS and shapes were emolled early this term and are undergoing vigorous training.

What a sight they make ! The Corp& is now 98 strong--48 cadets and 50 recruits.

FLASH BACK A Message from (Mr.) E. O. Pilgrim : . .. . There was in the days long ago a bulletL1 published by the boys, of Q.C ., but it was short-lived as ventu1·es such as this require much determination and sacrifice on the p·a rt of the management .... My first wish for the Lictor is that it may long live to inspire, instruct and amuse the coming generations of the College.

The <dream of twenty years bas at last come true. Tho new Quec:n's College building is at last completed and is now housing nearly five hundred boys.

The searchlight will first reveal the amorous behaviour of G.D. of the Lower Sixth Modern who is reputed tn have described his system thus : "Some men do it with looks,, some personality, others IDOney, I "dunes". The unfortuna te f ellow bas ,b een deeply wounded by CUpid 's arrow and has of late been m aking amorous advances in the gener a l dire ction of a certain Miss. Needless to say, some one is annoyed- Pre fect B , who is furious a t t his u n provok ed a nd perfi?ioll:> ~ival a nd has e xpressed bis wllhngn ess t o intern him (or any other r ival for that matter) for an hour at least four times a week . P oor D has m y sympa thy, and to comfort him I m ust r emin d him-"Facilis descensus A verno" .

The searchli&ht next illuminates the unique boast of the "elonga ted Hy dra" of the Lower Sixth Modern who was overheard telling a young lady tnat he was the Proud possessor or "a mad vein.''

The searchlight now lights up "my noticeboard." There, a. pair of instruments ot progression are adve rtised for sale. They are de scribed, by someone wishing to boost this sale, as a "gOOd bargin."

At this point I would like to warn certain "gentlemen" that the editors of the Lictor will not be intimldated into revealing my name. I have bem informed that G . D. has threatened the editors of the Lictor with extreme physical suffering if my few interesting revela tions were published. Come, come Mr. G. "Not all thy threatening nor pleas............ " The searchligh t finally falls for a moment on a gentleman of the V.B. who, probably unable to appreciate the g!owing oratory of the Minutes SecrP.tary at a recent Literary and Debating Society mePting, asked the Chairman to be allowed to "IPave forever." His request was readily granted.

I must now regretfully dim my searchlight. More will be revealed next time, unless some irate gentleman succeeds in ridding the world of my humble self.

Till then. remember "The moving searchlight swings, llluminates, moves on".-JUNIUS.

Performances of Trial by Jury we,re given at the end of the last and be.ginning of this term.

This was the first opera to be performed by Queen's College.

After roughly foUr months of unremitting toil, the comic-opera had its first night on 29th July before an appre.:iative audience.

Mr. Sanger-Davies conducted.

Considering the fact that the cast was chosen entirely from QuPen's College, the singing was of a surprisingly high standard.

Wiltshire, as Angelina, singing an t:nchanting treble was in his element; so was Wishart, the Pompous, jovial Judge. Seaforth's tenor voioe wem well with his part. S. King turned in a dignified portrayal oI the defending counsel ; his piercing notes meander ed somewhat , but that must be put down to acute a warenpss of th e wrongs doue to his client.

Cummings, as t he usher, tunied in a rat her "breezy" and energetic perfor~ance. He captured several young hearts in the audience as with lowered lance he charged at the noisy public <not a udience> ; and then with lance at rest he literally and metaphorically rose to great heights in thtmdering lf'orth a stentorian "Silence in Court!"

The lighting was enchanting and set off to good advantage the riotously coloured costumes of the singers.

The jury alone contained such a formidable range of colours that it beg~red description.

Mention must be made of Mrs. Sanger -D.ivies who by a miracle transformed a group of sturdy boys into pretty, light-:footed nymphs.

Special mention must also be made of Miss Dolphin and Mr. Sanger-Davies who between them produced the opera.

ECLIPSE

The Beason For Her Love A! beautiful maiden sat under a tree, And sighingly told of her great love tor me: She said that her love never-ending and true, Wottld remain regardless of what I should do.

I asked for her reason, to ,which she replied,, "I'll tell you quickl11 if ,you will but bide; I know your father has a confectione111 store, So as long as I love ·vou I 'll get sweets galore." ~.A.R.

On Monday, 30th November, Georgetown and Queen's College were honoured by the presence of that gr eat contralto Miss Marian Anderson.

In a recital of just under two hours she captivated a mammoth audience assembled in the College Hall.

The Programme included songs from Hande l a nd Schubert, English airs, and n egro spirituals. The highlight or the evening was the Erl King.

EDITORIAL We are nearing the end of on e of the most moment ous years in the histoi y of our country. The year was off to a good start w ith the elections, closely followed by t he Coronation celebrations with the constitution al crisis bringing up the r ear.

We saw in June th e Cor on a, t ion of a Second Elizabeth. This important e vent h ad reper cussions in British Guian a in which Queen's College played a prominent p a rt - there were the Coronation P agean t, t he Coronat ion Con cert, the Cor onation Par ad es and the Coronation G ames. The P ageant and Con cert wer e held at Qu~en's College, the Queen's College Cadet Corps t ook p a rt in the Tor ch light P a r'ade. The Q ueen's Col lege team won the Coronation Games.

Ther e wer e t wo fine achievem ents in the ar tistic field " Twe lfth Nigh t" and "Tr ial by J u ry." Boy s and Mast ers we r e, to say t he l east, gratified w ith the standard atta ioed in these two efforts.

Afte r the pageantry of the Coronation w e turn to the tragedy of our suspended constitution. No right-thinking Guianese can but feel th at this is a setback ; n the political advan c~ ment of our country.' We see our ambitions dashed to the ground and w e say, "Oh wha t a fall was there my countrym en ." But as we live on, w e hope on.

The Constitution as it stood affected Queen's Colle ge rathe r tellingly, the forme r Min.i ste r of Education intended to abolish the P rep . Form. We the refore w onder whether the interiln government will ca rry out th e resolve of t he late Minister.

The autumn term this year b::-oc ght forth many internal changes at Queen's. The Lower Fourths were remode lled so as to abolish parallel forms : whereas before w e had two forms doing the same work but at different rates, nowadays we have three forms into each of wh ich boys with similar a ptit udes are grouped ; here they begin to specialise. Like eve rything, the syst em h as itu m erits a nd dem e rits; whe the r it will be beneficial in the long run remains to b e seen. We have, too, a Remove Form in which boys who e nter Q .C. la te in the ir school career can begin to do science so as to take it a t ad'vanced le ve l in three years.

La stly, now ada ys the S ix th Forms do Current Affairs, Music Ap precia tion a nd Art Appreciation, w hich subjects are especial ly valuable to the Sixth Moderns in that they broaden their outlook.

And so the year A.D. 1953 b as indeed been a m emora ble year in the annal s of our school and in m any w ays m a rks the beginning of a new e ra.

OBITUARY .

It is with deep sympathy t h at w e r ecall the d eath of Albe rt R oche Spence who died on 7th Augustt..1953, in \us sixteenth year. .tte came to Q.C. in 1949 and had . a brilliant acad em ic career securing prizes four years running. H e also had a very good athle tic r ecord.

Frederick Anthony Phillips whose death took place after a very short illness this term, w as a qu iet and frie ndly m e mber of the Upper Fourth B . H e gave promise of becoming more prominent in the life of Q.C. Both these students w er e most likable and their conduct w as exemplazy. Masters and boys feel their loss d eeply . They wish to join with the Lictor · in offeripg their condole nces to the bereaved families.

CHAIRS! Sir.

! beg for space in t he L ict or for

the publication of this lett er.

Since Wednesday, 4th November, 1953, the boys of the Lower Fourth General h ave had to sit on the tloor during General Assembly. There are three Lower Fourths - why must we be the unfortunate one,;'? Cannot Q.C. prov ide one more row of chairs?

1f it cann ot , then I suggest that either the Classical or Modern boys take their chairs every Wednesday mor ning to the hall, and carry them back after assembly. The Gen eral boys can not very well take t heir own since their classroom is provided with seats and desks that are joined .

Yours, etc.

NOT CRICKET ? ~ir.

I have watched with increas· ing alarm the steady influx of Masters into our cricket teams.

Why, Mr. Editor, I ask, do th ese gentlemen keep detrimentally interfering in the school cricket ?

Why do they not, Mr. Editor, if they must, r eserve their "talent" to direct the m easures or the school cricket by sagacious counsel or the more p ract ical coaching? Why do they not ),eave t h e concucting of the ~chool cricket to Roberts en tirely, ih whose capable h a nds the fortunes of the school cricket have been placed?

Yours, etc., Agitator .

The warning sounded here is both timely and necessary as thPr e is indeed a danger of overloading t he tea ms with stair at the expen se of boys. But we feel th::it a master of r eal merit sh ould always have a place at least in a school 2nd XI since we could not otherwise put two teams of reasonable strength in the field. Besides, there are certain little but important points in Cricket's unwritten code which would go unob.served but !or a mature and vigilant eye.

AB regards the matter of captaincy (esper.ia.lly Case Cup) it would be goocf if a boy could adequately fill the post . But the pu.'1)ose ot our belng in this competition is to i:rovlde material for the Colony; and the develop- * men t o! a young player is a. matter t h at c~lls for such keen observa tion and caref'ul and discreet handling that we feel it is inadvisable to entrust such a responsibility to a cricketer of a. : mere t wo or th'l"eP. seasons, when : one of far greater exper ience and : equel m erit can ~e found.
