Mo,~e Exhibitions to the u.c. w.1.

Sixth-formers of Queen's College will be especially pleased to learn that the Government of British Guiana has approved the award of five more exhibitions tenable at the University Colltge of the West Indies. These ~hibitions wh1ch will consist of two each in Arts and Natural Sciences and one for the Diploma in Education will te effective from the academic year beginning October, 1954. This is an indication that the G~vernment of this Colony iS becoming mo.re and more aware of the pressing need for education and is making an effort to satisfy this need, for many young people will now be able to enter the University College of the West I ndies who would not formerly have been able lo do so due fo insufficient means.

Visit of Board of Governors During this term we were treated to a visit by the Board of Governors. Unfortunately, they were not all able to attend and the only members present were Rev. D. C. J. Bobb, Mr. S. L . Van B. Stafford, Mrs. Cossou and His Grace the Archbishop of the West Indies, who is chairman of the Board.

General assembly was called and afte r telling Qf the purpose of this visit, our Principal called on His Grace to say a few words to the boys. BefQre he started his address, however, His Grace presented the swimming• championship Shield and the Vietor Ludorum Trophy to P. H. Kaufmann, our swimmin_g champion.

His Grace then a,ddressed the gathering, stressing the need for more and more study and the wish that the boys would be manly in all things and try to be shining examples to the people of our colony. At the conclusion of his address, he asked the Principal to grant us a half-holiday, - the Principal did. As they were about to start on their i nspection tour, however, C. I. C' . Wishart, h ead of School, got up and called for three cheers for the members.

Mr. Beckles then thanked the Board for coming, rc>marking that he knew how important their time was. He then spoke to the boys stressing the importance of His Grace's w,;irds and emphasizing the need for clear thinking at this present unsettled state of our colony.

News from the Stamp Society In early June the Stamp Society held its long postponed election of office-bearers, and after more · than a year's existence we are at last an orthodox and smoothly running organisation. It is perhaps a pity that we started to function properly so late in the term, as we break up for the August holidays, but next term we hope to carry on exactly as we left off, unless it is necessary to replace any of the officers who might be leaving the College at term's end.

The change in management bas however, released Mr. Irwin from the responsibility which he had shouldered alone, and he has kindly consented to remain with us as Staff Adviser. He is at present on vacation in the U.S.A. aod is purchasing some much needed supplies and material for the Society.

He will rejoin us in October.

OF GENERAL INTEREST TO COLLECTORS

In a recent release the Postmaster-General a nnou nced that a new definitive issue of Postage and Revenu e stamps has been ordered fo r the colony and should be on sale to the public before the end of the year. Collectors are advised to be on the lookout for the d ate of release as First Day Covers are always in demand and form an excellent basis of exchange.

From the· description given the stamps

Additions To The Staff With the going on leave ot Mr. Hetram, Mr. Cbunilall and the departure of Mr. Bachelor, the Q.C. staff was in a weak state but a rescue was made with the arrival of three new teachers - Mr. R. D. Rock, Mr. E. R. Burrowes and Mrs. H. Nobbs.

Letters to The Edito,.

Cadet Notes

Sir, This letter contains a sug~estion that "Current Affairs" be taught to boys ol the middle school and the fifth forms.

The subject was started at the beginning of this school year and involved the sixths only. But since this innovation, Government announced that entrants to the Civil Service would have to sit what was tantamount to a general knowledge test. The sixth form, we are told is not meant for people who are going into the Civil Service, but is really the incubator for - university hopefuls. Thus the sixth form do current affairs as intellectual relaxation - which is as it should be.

But boys who are ente{ing the Civil Service leave in the fifth forms. And so for purely practical reasons, at least, boys below these forms should have periods in current affairs as their awareness o.f the world around them, at least the awareness of those who are leaving in the fifths, will be tested sooner or later.

Yours truly, E.S.

On Sunday, June 23rd, the Cadets put on a ve!y creditable performance at the Parade on Empire Youth Sunday. A series oC very serious practices were put in at the rehearsals with the obvious result tha:t the other participating units were dwarfed into insignificance by the smart turn out of the Cadet Corps. With the.r smart drill and soldierly bearing the Cadets very much deserved the many complimentary rema rks directed at them. ,

As I pass a stand a voice hails out describing the nutritive value of the greens on display.

There were trays of fish and shrimps.

The fish vendors were mostly women, whose dresses were protected by multi-coloured aprons. They wore head-dress of the same cloth.
