The second scholarship which was for girls, went to Miss -Nehaul of Bishop's High School. awarded to R. M Isaacs, formerly N. A. ROBINSON entered Qut>en's in 1950 and in 1952 he gained a Ju11ior School Exhibition.

Three years later, he was awarded a Middle School Exhibition. In 1957 he passed the General Certi1ic~te of Education '0' level . in seven subjects, and at this year's Advanced level, he obtained two distinctions (English and Latin) and a pass in Flench-a most creditable performance. During his last year in school, Robinson was Head Prefect of Moulder House.

W. H . A. L . PARRIS, like Robinson, has had a distinguished ~cholastic career at Queen's. He t:nter"d Queen's in 1951 with a Crntwary Exhibition. In 1956 he was sucees,:;ful in 9 subjects at the G.C:.E.

Reviewing the events of History and Culture Week I cannot help but feel that our Princi-pal did a very wise thing on Friday, 23rd October. Instead of having a whole holiday as othf:r schools, we had ordinary school for the first two periods 1nd the second two periods were occunierl by four members of the staff· lecturing on some aspects of culture in B.G. Our first speaker was Mr Pot. lt-r who lectured · on Liter~tnre.

He read extncts from Brett's Guiana Legends (Amerindian Tales ) and some poems by Martin Carter, W. Lawrence, A. J. Seymour and J. A. Redway. From ' 'Dalton's History of B.G." he gave us a description of the savannahs and mountain:; of the !nterior. He concluded by readmg an extract from the article "Is there a West' Indian culturn '

by Dr. Waites in "Kyk-nver-A1.·· The second speaker was Mr. Allsopp who spoke upon Drama. !'le stressed that there was drama m everyday life and it was up to us to extract it. H e said that with a litle refinement, themc,s frc,m the Sam Chase shows can be converted into fine dram'.3.

Our last speaker Miss Dolphin ~poke upon Music. She said that Ill B.G., Music falls into 2 classes -· (a) folk songs and (b) n~usic writt~n by trained musicians.

Three examples of the latter (yp e were played to the school :: (a) a minuet written hy Clem Nichols and played by the B.G. Police band, (b) a fantasia on 3 G_uiane~e folk songs written for piano solo by Hugh Sam, an old boy of Q.C. and played by Joy~ely~ Loncke, {c) two songs-(1) a ;·e:iu1em by Joan Gi11<es and (2) Young and Old" writt1:m by Walter Franker, another Q.C. okl boy a nd sung by the colo1,y's vocal champion, the ha~s c;inger John Moses.

:THE TIME HAS COME Queen's College is gaining more and more honours in sports and work as time goes by. The reputation of our beloved college is also growing. But in what a way! Queen's is becoming known about town as a school of illmannered louts! Atrocious, you say? Disgraceful! Shocking! That there should be the slightest hint of this!-but, to some degree, undeniably true! The saying goes that there's no smoke without fire, and amlost every day there is prMf of this state of affairs.

Take, for example, the behic:iour of some of our boys at a c!o.1)ltc recently between our 'school and one of the other High Schools. Simply disgusting! Undoubtedly the fellows on the other team were not good speakers, and no doubt they made errors - but was this a just reason for railing them derisivdy? Scornfully? Continually? Contrast this with the behaviour of their supporters.

Did they jeer our fellows when they too, made blunders? Did they interrupt the proceedings with distinctly audible re marks which were impolite, and completely rude? No. Then why should Q .C. boys have been the guilty ones? And we call ourselves superior to the other High Schools!

Take again, the time when the masters presented that special programme in keeping with the celebrations of History and Culture week. One of our masters, who, by right of his office of a master in the school, ought to be duly respected by every one of ns, was most disrespectfully and impertinently 's Io w clapped' during his talk. Even if l1is talk was a bit too Jong, even if \t horc no interest to certain persons, surclv the correct and polite tl1in~ to do was to hear him out, or at least pretend to hear him out? There was no right: at all for persons to be s;arrying on their own conversations while other boys, interested in the talk, were trying to hear what was being said! It has been said that students from other schools pay more respect to our masters than we ourselves! Surclv now is the time to put a stop t~ all this?

The Crane MedalComestoQ.C. About one year ago, there appeared an advertisement in the press, inviting applications from persons engaged in any educahonal study or research work relating or ter.ding to the promotion of education in B.G . Tr.e applications were for an award of the Sir Alfred Crane Memor,al Medal, whkh is intended to reward a siguificant contribu~ion to the advancement of education in B.G., whether in the form of thesis, experimentation or resea rr.h.

Mr. S. R. R. Allsopp, a SenioT Master at Q.C., began his work on his thesis in 1954 ancl submitted if fot the Crane Medal Competition early in this year. A 'thesis', for tho se who may not know, can be descr ibed as a book-size essay on .1 s ubject a p p r O v e d by a University. Mr. Allsopp's thesis is on "The Pronomial Form~ in the Dialect of Englis h used by the W orking Classes of the Georgetown Area". Mr. Allsopp had already submitted this the;::is for the M.A. degree at ~he University cf London and it was a copy of the f ame work which h e of!ered in 1he competition.

As the saying goes '.:i gond man can never be h idden fo r a long time' and SO' it is with this brilliant Guianese. Mr. Allsopp's work which was spread over the years 1954-58, was finally considered to be the best contribution to the advancement of education in B.G .• and so his thesis gained for him, the Crane Med&l Award.

The eventual aim of Mt· Allsopp's work begun in his thesis is to prO·· v ide a new approach to the study and teaching of English and Modern Languages in British Guiana.

Thos e of us who know Mr. Allsopp, will realise that this. his glorious achievement was not unexpected, for he has alway.,; been of a hard-working and conscientious t emperament.

The announcement of Mr. All:.:cpp's s uccess w a s followed ~hortly by the actual presentation

cf the Crane Medal. The presentation was made by the Hon. Balram Singh Rai, Minister of Community Development and Education on Friday, 23rd. October. The ceremony took place durJng the History and Culture Week at the newly-named Dolphin Government School.

Congratulations Mr. Allsopp.

We of Q.C. are very pro.nd of this, your grand success. .J .R.K.B. Asst. Editor.

Dear Sir, One cannot but notice how the "Pools'• have found their way into the lives of Q.C boys also.

One Sixth Former has remarked that the possibilities offered by the "Pools" are too great to be lightly bypassed. This is true to some extent, but perhaps it may be better for boys to look well before they leap into the "Pools" and find a whirloool out of which they cannot escape.

The first point to be considered is that the "Pools'' can develop a reckless gambling tendency which can ruin the individual, as he will always play the "Pools'' in the hope of winning, Qr, if he has won, will continue to p lay them in the hope of winning more.

Secondly, it has been wisely said that "a man's life does not consist of the abundance of thing that he possesses.'' When one is obsessed with the riesire for m ateria l riches, spiritual and eternal values are dimmed, and one day the individual finds himself leaving his temporal wealth, launching out into eternity as a ....... . spiritual pauper Perhaps these sobering thoughts may yet help to save some from this whirlpool.

Q.C. DOES THE DOUBLE AGAIN Q.C~ IN CRICK~T CUP .C9M~ETITION Ow· Firs/ Eleven put up a creditable performance in this year's Northcote Cup Competition. At present (with three more rounds still to be played) they . occupy fourth 9lace with 24 points, eight points behind tbG> joint lead~, E.I.C.C. and the Police, a~d four points behind third-plaqed Chinese. The batting has been inconsistent and has belied all expectations. Our powerful batting machine, which so often has instilled fear into thP hearts of bowlers, failed to reproduce last season's form until the sixth match when the Pplice bowling was thrashed to the tune of 348 runs in a magnificent dii;plav of masterly batting. The great est run-getter this season has been D. A. McWatt who so far has an aggregate of 356 runs including a century, with an averaged 35.6 runs per innings H. S. Birkett. R , M. Khan and N. W. Grant have each scored more than 200 runs this season.

Throughout the season the bowling has been commendable.

The most successful bowler has been R. Roopnarine who, by cap· tu1·ing 24 wickets at an average cost of nine runs each, headed the Colony's Northcote Cup bowling averages. C. S, Spence and D, A. McWatt. who each took 17 wickets also performed well. The fielding as usual has been good, C. S. SpencP. taking the most catches.

The main highlights of the season were: a mammoth ,mening partnership of 147 by N. W. Grant (79) and L. S. Birkett (67) against the P olice; a magnificent bowling performance by R. Roopnarine against St. Stanislaus when he secured a match analysis of nine wickets for 75 runs in 64 overs; and a brilliant all-round performance by D. A. McWatt against the Chinese when he made a century and captured six wickets.

Undaunted by the 102 runs needed to avoid an innings defeat, B .H.S. stuck gamely to the task and soon the runs came merrily along but, alas, so did the wickets. However, with the scorz at 34 for 4, Joseph came to the wicket and temporarily halted the r ut with :;ome burly strokes.

An air of tension settled on the little group gath'ered in the pavilion, as the batsmen sought to lay a foundation while the bowlers strove to get an early wicket. The hopes of the latter were soon more than realized, as four batsmen, not just one, were hustled back to the pavilion - 10 runs for four wickets, our visitors were really in trouble, and they thus remained, as the remainini six wickets with occasiom,l pauses were taken. One such pause was comparatively fruitful, the seventh wicket partnership , or rather its brief acquaintance, added 34 runs to g ive the final score of 85 some little respectability and I mean The Dias Cup, the symbol of 1ittle.
