PRI NTI.NG .AT · Another dream has been translated into reality. The school bas at long last acquired its own printing machine. This bas been made possible by Mr. Sanger Davies who has purchased for the 9Chool, a new 'Adana' Machine. The British made machine is the best of its kind, and costs ab out £ 100. Although welJhlng 3 cwt.

1 qr., it is very simple to operate and can produce 1,400 copies per hour.

This machine is a great boon duced.

enhance its efficiency. Much of the printing hitherto done by outside printeries, will now be done by the school. For instance Invitation cards, letter-heads, circulars, in short nearly all of the printing work required by the school will be done by the machine. Printing expenses, consequently will be greatly re-

The Work ing People's

have been done by boys on this machine. It was originally intended to buy a m achine which would take over the printing of the Lictor. But, the Principal found that this would have been an uneconomic proposition since a machine to produce a foolscap size paper would have been too expensive.

GROUNDSMAN ROOP NARINE joined Queen's College Ground staff in 1945 as an assistant. By dint of hard work, he was made Head groundsman in 1951. He remembers very well in what condition our present ground w a s ten years ago. Half of it, be says, was abandoned and the other half was a · pasture. He thinks, that our ground today can compare favourably with any in B.G .

Roopnarine thinks that the present pavilion is far from being satisfactory. Lavatory facilities and protection should be provided, he says.

CONSTANCE and BEATRICE have been with us since 1942.

Their duties are to sweep the building ever yd ay and to keep it tidy. These ladies, although having a lot to do, do enjoy doing their work They find most of .t he boys · friendly and cooperative but they would like to see more care being taken of the building _ _ _ _ _· - - - - -

Free Art Class One of the most unique organisations in B.G. meets every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon and on Friday nights in the Art ~ om of Queen's College. The Working People's Free Art Class 1s a body of artists and art lovers who are encouraged to take up art by its founder, Mr. E. R . Burrowes. This art class is supported by funds from the B ritish Council.

Some promising artists have their imaginations which not been granted scholarships (Brit- only immeasurably increases ish Council Art" Scholarsh ips) tc their joy in life hut also colours pursue art at schools in "Eng- the ordinariness of their daily land.

Dear Sir,

EDITOR : 1\1. A. A. McDoom.

Permit me through the medium of your newspaper to bring .t o notice, that despite the FEATURES EDITOR : F. C. G ranger. many warnings by our principal and the steady complaints SPORTS EDITOll : R, 8. Fields. from the Traffic Dept., no heed BUSINESS MANAGER : D. P. Sha rma seems to be taken by the boys.

Perhaps because of the school's SALES MANAGER : B. 8. H"pe. reputation, Traffic Authorities SUPER\'ISOR: Mr. S. R, R. All\opp. have been a bit r eluctant in prosecuting our boys.

This saved quite a few of us who persist in rirli'ly defective bicycles, and fail to stop at the Major Road Signs.

ASST. EDITOR): D. M. Gray,

EDI'fORIAL

Through this medium I would like to draw the atten tion of the staff, and senior members of the school to the increase in the ranks of boys whose con tribution towarJi; school activities are n~ligible, - the "hangers-on".

It can be argued that boys of this nature will always be present in a school of this size· ft is true; but when the numbers are increasing particularly in the middle and upper school obviously something must be done. T~is attitude is quite appare nt m games, but if we glance at our DEBATING SOCIETY, we have a perfect example. Few are the debators, and numerous are the members who never even utte r a word. The DEBATING SOCIETY has already felt the effects-frequent defeats by ttie B.H.S. Must the same thing be repeated in games? As a corrective I suggest frequent pep talks by House Masters.

Yours faithfully, G . M. BAKER. Form L6C.

Progressive March Objects of the Society:-"To pr omote the intellectu al ad vancement of members of the Society in Scientific matters and to main tain the power a nd progress of the Scientific world."

Since its inauguration in September 1954 the Science Society has made and is making tremendous progress.

Un doub.tedly it is the most popular Society in the School today. 'l'he programme of the Society is a varied one which members find enjoyable and with no regrets.

a former governor of British Guiana opened a Guianese A.rt Exhibition held under the a uspices of t he British Council in London. This art exhibition, the first of its kind was organised by Mr. E. R.
