It was Lincoln, wasn’t it, who gave us that epigram about, fooling some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time ?

Times have changed.

Some people, today can’t be fooled at all. They are the ones who buy thoughtfully and spend wisely. They are guided by the most up-to-the-minute news about products, prices arid values.

They read the advertisements in the “ D A I L Y m

iWhether you’re marketing for today’s lunch, a dress, refrig­ erator or for a home -— the most reliable guides are printed right here in the “ D A I L Y C l I K O N I C L E ’ ’ for you.

Make it a habit to shop at home, by newspaper, before you set out. It saves time . . . . saves tiresome searching . . . . and it saves real money.

It pays to read the advertisements in the “ S U N D A Y C H R O N I C L E ’ ’ the “ D A I L Y C H R O N I C L E ” and other Chronicle House publications and use them as your shopping guide.

FOREWORD This is a momentous time in the history o f this country. I hope that one and ail realise their good future in living to witness and to play their part in these momentous

days.

I f you will take the trouble to look up the "Forewords” that I have written fo r the Magazine in former years, you will see that I have urged again and again the need fo r those who pass through Queen’s to prepare themselves as efficiently as they can fo r the day when their service to the country will begin to have definite constructive value. And ll have urged that this preparation consists not only in academic progress, essential though this be, but also in progress in other activities: Games, the Cadet Corps, the Scouts, the various Societies all play their part in building up the personality that is needed' to make the "men o f stature” than an independent Guiana will need fo r its well­ being and prosperity.

W e are happy and proud to record that our first Premier, Cheddi Bharat Jagan, is an old boy o f this school, and we take this opportunity o f congratulating him on achieving this! great honour. And now that our Premier has been chosen, it must be clear to all that it is essential that he should be supported and encouraged in his difficult task o f leading Guiana* to independence and prosperity, not because he is the leader o f the Peoples' Progressive ’Party,' but because he is the Premier o f Guiana, and he is there­ fore our leader, whether we voted fo r him, or supported his party, or not. ’> !

Let there be no mistake; the future prosperity o f the country will depend not only on the Premier and his cabinet, but to an even greater extent upon the support that he gets from those who voted both fo r and against him in the election. This is democracy: now that Dr. Jagan has won, he becomes the leader o f the whole country and we must all support him, or the progress will be obstructed and prosperity, jeopardized. There is so much odE the development programme that is agreed by all o f us that it is bordering on lunacy to allow racial friction or any other pre-election or post-election propaganda to become an obstruction to the progress that we all desire.

V. J. Sanger-D avies, Principal.

The Editorial Staff take this opportunity to express their thanks to all those who have, in any way, contributed towards the issue o f this year’s School Magazine. Those whose articles have not been accepted must in no way be discouraged— Send in again next year.

Our special thanks go to the Principal, Mr. V. Sanger-Davies; who has done so much to alleviate the Editor’s task. To the Chronicle who have stood with us in our work and have patiently endured our failings, and last, but not least, to our supervisor, Mr. Hetram who has contributed such valuable advice.

Editorial

NATIONALISM Recently, it has been noticed that the problem o f disunity has enshrouded British Guiana. The situation has even approached the limit where racial antagonisms have come to the forefront; and has even attained the heights o f absurdity in that the idea o f separatism on racial lines has been injected into the minds o f various sections o f the community. In all fairness to the propagators o f this idea it must be said that, though they themselves are philanthropic in their aspirations, yet, dividing, British Guiana into zones is impracticable; and, as such, can occasion more harm than good.

F or some years now, many political and social balms have been prescribed fo r this infectious disease o f “ disunitis” History and Culture Week” and ^The ’British. Guiana Festival” are only two very clear examples o f attempts, in the social field, to weld this country into 'some sort o f entity with a common thread through the many . races.

Theoretically, a Guianese history and Guianese culture are desirable, and themselves purport to give a stimulus or even a basis for supposing that we ; shall be eventually united as a people. However, a somewhat false conception o f this, unity has been formed by quite a number o f "persons. They believe that such events, as the previously mentioned “ Festival” , are capable o f developing a purely Guianese culture. . They believe that the gyrations and leaps, in this particular case, are obviously ebullitions o f what will constitute a Guianese culture and -inevitably, a Guianese nation.

They are disillusioned. The word “ N ATION ” implies that this country would have one race — not East Indians or Africans or Chinese —•with a common culture, lan­ guage and history; It also implies that we would he distinctly different from Spaniards, • Italians or Englishmen. What, however, is totally undesirable, is that this word means that we would have to adopt that spirit o f Nationalism. I am not prepared to voice any. opinions as to whether or not such, a spirit has ever' proven to be a force fo r the good; but I am prepared to say that, in this modern twentieth-century world, in this era when our emphasis is placed upon internationalism and global co-operation, the dogmatic national selfishness, which this force has so created in the past, seems to be entirely incompatible with my idea o f domestic and external harmony. W e can never be a race; and the acquirement o f an unmistakenly Guianese culture seems very much in the future. A culture, although the term itself is vague, cannot he created or written in the sense that .a constitution can be. It is something which develops silently, imper­ ceptibly at first, and gradually shapes its own course. The stress, therefore*, is on “ It cannot be created; least o f all, by such artificial means.”

• But it appears as though, in our attempts to achieve some degree o f unity in this country, we are straying off the path and being lost. These various organisations are consequently only extracting synthetic elements from the community (they call this Guianese culture) and are themselves creating a synthesis in their approach to eon- ■■■'; structing a truly united people. . Lately, innumerable aspersions have been cast upon the League o f Coloured People, upon the continuance o f certain Hindu and Moslem ceremonies, upon the Existence o f a Chinese Association and upon the many representational forms o f the races in British Guiana. These attacks are only justified when they refer to racial

policies (if any) which can affect the community as a whole. Otherwise, as a solution for our major problem and as an alternative to our false idea o f a Guianese Nation, it is undoubtedly a fact that a society with many, colourful, intrinsically different and beautiful cultural entities ought to have a tremendous attraction. This means that each race must preserve its racial identity, its cultural identity, its traditions and folk-lore to some extent; but it .also means that each race would have to pool these pos­ sessions into a “ Commonwealth.” This “ Commonwealth” must be our conception o f a united, racially-unprejudiced Guiana.

Perhaps, what we all need to develop immediately is not a nationalistic outlook but patriotic sentiments.

The past school year has not been a particularly successful one fo r Percival. In ,fact, the House appears to be passing through one o f the dullest periods o f its his­ tory. One may find solace, however, in the thought that the darkest hour is the one immediately before dawn. And so, while everything seems to be going against us, do not be disheartened noble <Pereivalites,, but rather, remember that success is just around the comer.

It is difficult to ascertain exactly what is the cause o f our present situation..

We can however be assured that our House Masters are entirely exempt from any respon­ sibility in this respect. Messrs. Rodway and Rock have at all times evinced a keenness and enthusiasm in House affairs, which members will do well to emulate. Pine leader­ ship, sound advice and encouragement have never been lacking in these gentlemen, and it is with very deep regret that we bid farewell to one o f them. Mr. Rock leaves us to take up an appointment at Queen’s Royal College, Trinidad. W e take this oppor­ tunity to extend to him our best wishes fo r a very successful future.

Congratulations and best wishes also, to W . A. Ramsahoye, 1960 Guiana Scholar.

‘Bang’ has had a sterling academic performance so far, and the House is extremely proud o f him. Keep it up ‘Bang’ !

In the field o f sport Percival seemed a sorry lot. In both Cricket and Football we were at the bottom o f the Tables. W e managed to forge our way to the Table Ten­ nis semi-finals, and while on the track we ran home seventh. The results are far from being indicative o f the efforts o f our teams, and the fine House spirit displayed through­ out must be heartily commended.

In closing, I must say that my association with Percival House has been both pleasant and fruitful, and in leaving I take with me cherished memories which will linger on for years to come. Permit me to express the hope that members o f Percival House will do their utmost to carry on the proud traditions o f this House and restore it to its rightful place— the head. Best wishes and may God bless you all.

D . R . SPENCE, (Head o f House).

Editor's Note.— Since the Head of House D. R . Spence has submitted his report, we have received news that he has been awarded a Demba Engineering Scholarship. We take this opportunity of expressing the school's congratulations.

Once more the time has come fo r Raleigh House to do some retrospection In the academic sphere we had our share o f success.

Our able House Master, Mr. Hetram, blazed the trail by being successful at his L.L.B. (part I ) .

This shining example proved to be a great incentive to the House, and in the early stages o f the work competition we were third, but unfortunately, towards the end we lost our ground. However, at the beginning o f the August term, we were greeted with the good news that our Deputy Head o f House, J. P. C. Croal, was awarded a U.C.W.I. Open Scholarship to study Natural Sciences. In the Inter-House Debating Competition, the famous adage : “ a miss is as good as a mile” , can be applied to our lot, fo r we were knocked out o f the competition by the narrow margin o f one point.

In the field o f sport, we kept in mind that it is not winning, but playing the game that matters.

f

Tribute must be paid to our Cricket Captain, P. E. McLean, and our Athletics Captain, P. F. Bryce, fo r their valiant efforts, in spite o f which we retained our place at the bottom. In Table Tennis, our fortunes were better, fo r we were runners-up in our section. Special praise must be showered on our Football Captain, G. K . Lewis, and his team for retrieving the Football Cup after we had missed it fo r over a decade.

The House showed its appreciation by having a light snack with the team on Friday afternoon.

The team was comprised o f— G. K. Lewis (capt.), C. R. McDavid, M. E. Davis, P. McLean, W . H. King, S. A. Ridley, W . Lewis, K . D. Dyer, B. L. Paul, P. F. Bryce, J. A. Babb and M. F. Cox. K ing saved (fo r ) us in both cricket and football.

Last Christmas our House Party came o f f with a bang, thanks to our House Masters and Prefects.

There is much room for improvement, boys o f Raleigh House. W ork and work hard, support your House in every way. Forget the dark spots o f your past and try to create a brilliant future.

During the past year the House has met with success and disappointment; the latter in our sporting activities, but we had more than our fair share o f success in other fields.

In the absence o f Mr. Drayton, Mr. C. I. Trotz acted as Assistant House Master, and while he was with us his advice and keen interest in our activities were indeed consistent with the good spirit o f Austin House. Our only hope is that his stay with us was as enjoyable to him as it was to us.

In the W ork Competition our performance was very creditable. The House fin­ ished in 6th position. This is a very encouraging sign and represents a constant im­ provement resulting from earnest and diligent endeavours.

The results o f the Cricket Competition were in more ways than one disappointing, we finished the season at the bottom o f our division. Yet our team comprised o f some young members o f fine calibre, and it is my belief that in the very near future a far better team will evolve.

The House also met with disappointment in the Table-Tennis Competition despite the enthusiasm o f our team.

T.t was perhaps in our football team that we had our greatest hopes o f success. But unfortunately, after a surprising defeat in our first match the team never quite over­ came the psychological effect it produced. Here again, however, youth is in our favour and the House may yet do better next year.

In the absence o f our Athletic Captain, Austin did well in securing fifth place in the Inter-House Athletic Sports, and here mention must be made o f Dummett, Morrison, Went and Chung, all o f whom gave very worthy performances and formed the backbone fo r our success.

This year witnessed our promising and successful debut in drama; with the valuable efforts o f Saul, La Fleur, Syed and Marshall, we brought third place in the Drama Competition.

W e had a less luck however in the Debating Competition, nevertheless, it was in some ways consoling to note that the team, which defeated us, reached the finals.

In comparison with previous years, our scholastic achievements were copious.

Campbell, G. H., was awarded a Federal Exhibition from the U.C.W .L to study engi­ neering. Ray Luck gained a Fellowship Diploma in Music from Trinity College, Lon­ don, and members o f the House would be proud to know that this award is the only one o f its kind so far in the country. In addition this brilliant member o f the House has recently been granted a B.G. Government Exhibition fo r 1961 to pursue studies in Natural Science at the U .C.W .l., and before this magazine is published another member o f the House may yet obtain ,a scholarship fo r U.C.W .l.* Our Assistant House Master Mr. M. T. Lowe has been awarded a scholarship to do advanced studies overseas. This award will probably take effect early next term and therefore I will take this opportunity, on behauf o f members o f the House, to wish Mr. Lowe abundant success in his proposed course. While he is away, the merry carefree gait o f this Master and other asjects o f his character will remain with us during his absence.

To all those who have won scholarships the rest o f Austin extends warmest congratu­ lations and wish them prosperity in their respective fields. To those who have been less successful or who are yet to try, I urge to give o f their best and be contented in so doing.

The end o f this term terminates my career in Austin House and Queen’s College, and I would like to thank the House Officials and members fo r their co-operation during the past year. Since I entered this House, I have always felt in all my endea­ vours, a feeling o f deep satisfaction, satisfaction in fighting fo r a cause, the progress of this House; and it is this feeling I would like the younger members to have and appreciate. Finally let me say that my stay in Austin House has been a most enjoy­ able one. It seems only a short while ago when I first joined, yet one can hardly wonder, fo r it was the Latin scribe Pliny who said “ Tanto brevius omne, quanto felicius tempus” — The happier a time is, so much the shorter is it.

Seldom has a team, in any division o f cricket whatsoever, been dismissed fo r a mere twelve runs; and perhaps it is not insignificant that D ’Urban House inflicted this crushing defeat on no less a House than Pilgrim, whose members fo r years regarded our cricketers with a supercilious disdain.

This year, indeed, marked the end o f a longstanding D ’Urban House Tradition— “ more honoured in the breach than in the ob­ servance” — that o f regarding mediocre performances as the desired lot o f D ’Urban House, and being apathetically satisfied with such performances.

Thus, academically we emerged third in the work competition, our score o f points being augmented by the Open Scholarship to D. F. G. Rohlehr and the Federal Exhibi­ tion o f R. Singh. W e also congratulate W . Wilson, an old boy o f the House, on his winning a Medical Scholarship to the U.C.W.I. This high academic standard was also shown in our debating. W e emerged second to Cunningham House in the House Debating Competition. Our debaters were R. Singh' and D. F. G. Rohlehr.

In Drama we were second to Weston House, and our producer Klass, together with Morgan, Moses, Sanford and other members o f the cast, must be congratulated.

Our Table Tennis Team brought fourth in the competition, and mention must be made o f Haynes, Mercurius and Cham-a-Koon, the last two o f whom were runners-up in the Junior and Senior Championships respectively.

W e were sixth in Cricket and Football, and seventh in Athletics—tan improvement on former years. These successes were not only the cause for, but also the result of, a resurgent House Spirit, a spirit which is as welcome now, as it was dormant before.

My best wishes to the House fo r an even more successful school year, next year.

Once again Pilgrim House has proven its dictum that “ Unity is Strength” , a saying which, I am afraid, hias not appealed to the few stragglers who, by lack o f enthusiasm and complacency, have reduced the merits gained by the House in preceding years.

However, this year our record is very creditable since we secured both the Athletics and Standard Points Shields at the recent School Sports. W e also performed credit­ ably in Table Tennis, Cricket, and Football Competitions.

In the Athletics Competition full praise must be given to our youthful Athletics Captain, E. I. J. Fields, in maintaining the tradition o f his elder brother. Some men­ tion must be made o f R. A. Paul, who shattered thel half-mile record, a very commend­ able effort indeed.

On account o f numerous injuries and lack o f a single team we lost the initiative in the Football Competition. In contrast, we heartily congratulate1the remarkable per­ formance o f the Table Tennis Team consisting o f E. I. J. Fields, J. R. G. Ramprashad, S. C. Seelochan, W . G. H o and M. I. Leach, which trounced all opposition and added yet another laurel to the merits o f the House.

In the Academic field, however, we have performed far from satisfactorily having finished ninth in the W ork Competition, a clear sign o f disinclination to study.

In conclusion, I would like to extend most hearty thanks to our House Masters, Mr. London and Mr. Delph, who have inspired in us, a spirit which, i f not compatible with, surpasses the' attempts o f their predecessors. Special mention must be made o f our energetic House Master, Mr. London, who, by his keen interest both inside and outside o f school, has instilled in us the consciousness o f an “ Esprit de Corps” , which, I hope, may never be forgotten.

I sincerely hope that the future holds a brighter prospect fo r Pilgrim House in its Academic field and that the members o f the House try their best to make this prospect a reality.

slowly away, a year which will live on in our o f our achievements. The end o f the school year when we must look back at what we have done, should try to do in the future.

The School Year began brightly fo r us, and at the end o f the Xmas ternj we could have looked back with pride at our performances in the Cricket Competition and at our House-party. The House-party was a tremendous success, thanks to a steel-band, to our House-masters fo r arranging party games and to the assistance given by the senior mem­ bers o f the house. In the Cricket Competition, much was expected from our team, since we boasted o f such players as Griffith, Janki and Fraser. But bad-luck dogged us at the beginning. In our first match we clashed against the mighty Pilgrim and due to hesitant batting, we lost on first innings. Our second match was washed out and so at the end o f the second! round we had 1 point as compared to Pilgrim’s 6. But miracles have occurred in the past and why could not one recur ? W!e dug ourselves in, and with Herculean determination won the next two matches outright, giving us a total o f 11 points which put us at the top o f our section together with Pilgrim House. In the semi­ finals against Pilgrim we did the near impossible task o f bowling out Pilgrim fo r 29, after having collapsed miserably for 40. W e then went into the finals against Moulder, full o f confidence. The Moulderites fought bravely but we gave them a sound thrashing in a play-to-finish match. Finally I think much praise fo r this glorious victory should go to our fine team spirit, to the invaluable encouragement o f Mr. Yhap and to per­ formances by Griffith, Janki, Fraser and Teixeira.

The Easter Term was markgd by three activities — Inter-House Table Tennis, Athletics and Drama. In Table Tennis, although we only managed to place third in our section, we nevertheless created history in securing all 10 points in one round o f games.

In Athletics, owing again to our House-spirit, we were able to run a close second to the Champions Pilgrim House. Sterling performances were put in by the captain Griffith, Bunbury and young Fletcher. However these performances cannot overshadow the wholehearted effort o f the House which is well demonstrated in that we placed second in the Standard Points Shield and that we won the Tug-O-W ar event.

History was to repeat itself before the Easter Term could have finished. I refer, o f course, to the Dramatic Competition which started two years ago.

Last year we triumphed over all the other Houses by a narrow margin, but this year, despite great setbacks, we widened that margin by successfully putting on our p lay ‘Father Noah\ Enough praise cannot here be given to our producer-actor T. K . Prashad and to other members o f the cast.

Then came the Summer Term and the main activity o f that term— the HouseFootball Competition. Boasting a good all-round team we started the competition with

gross over-confidence. It was this same over-confidence which nearly knocked us out o f the competition. Fortunately, however, our team later got a good hold on itself, thanks mainly to the advice o f Mr. Yhap, and with a wonderful fighting spirit we reached the finals after soundly thrashing Moulder House in the semi-finals. In the finals, after a one-all draw we had to swallow a bitter pill in losing 1— 2 to Raleigh House. Our splendid performance here must be attributed to excellent teamwork and to the able captaincy o f Fraser. i The House-spirit is again vividly shown in the W ork Competition. Despite the fact thiat we had no extremely brilliant scholars in our midst, we were able to move from 8th place to 5th place. T. Prashad should be congratulated on being awarded a Bookers Agricultural Scholarship during the course o f the year.

The House should feel proud in obtaining three school colours this year. J. R. K .

Butchey and P. Griffith got theirs in Cricket whilst E. Byrne gpt his in Hockey.

The year, however, ends on a rather sad note fo r Weston H >use. Although sorry to lose Mr. Ramsammy, we are at the same time happy because his new post is Principal o f Tagore High School in Berbice. The House showed its gratitude to Mr. Ramsammy in the form o f a gift at the last House Assembly.

Weston House should be extremely proud o f its achievements this year. Looking back over the seven years that I have been a member o f this House, I can remember none in which we achieved so much in one school year. F or my party I can say that I have always been proud to be a Westonian, and in this my last school year, it has been an honour and a great pleasure for me to serve as your Head-of-House. Now it is time for me to say ‘goodbye’ to Weston House but I can assure you that I am doing so with a very heavy heart. One last message to my younger Westonian brothers— “ Be conscious o f your glorious past, try and maintain this together with your fine House-spirit and enthusiasm and then F'am sure the name o f Weston House will be held high in years to come.”

House Prefects

C. H. H ope and P. A. Scott:

Our successes in activities during the past school velar have varied, hut an overall -picture reveals more than satisfactory results in all spheres except the direct academic one. In the race fo r the W ork Competition Shield we were 10th— last— and No. 9 was going away from us. However, it would not be entirely fair to come down hard on the past year’s House members, when one considers the results o f our “ A ” and “ 0 ” Level students from the previous year. W e only had four boys sitting the “ A ” Level and the two subjects they summed up along with the fair number o f points by our “ 0 ” Level boys, were as much as to make me regard ourselves as not really starting the race.

However, we must take the blame for our failure to score more points than we did during the year, and both academic slackness and instilled dull­ ness may assumingly be accounted fo r this dilemma, As regard to work, I must contrast, by expressing warmest congratulations on behalf o f the House to Joshua Inasi who secured a Federal Exhibition in Natural Sciences to the TJ.C.W.L In other spheres the face o f Moulder wore a pleasant expression.

In cricket thanks to the bowling o f Roopnaraine (32 wickets fo r 172 runs), Edwards, T. C. (28 wickets for 112 runs) and the batting o f Ross, (93 runs aggr.), Edwards, 0 . G. (79), Edwards, T. C. (71) and Roopnaraine (71) we were comfortable winners o f our sec­ tion.

In a low scoring finals the House suffered defeated at the hands o f Weston.

Again Roopnaraine (7 fo r 49) and Edwards (8 fo r 66) bowled out the opposition.

In Table Tennis we reached the Finals totalling 30 points, our nearest rivals Durban securing 24 points. The finals was for the second year a losing affair fo r us and we left the arena with a 2-3 defeat attached to us.

Our athletes performed admirably, though we ended up fourth in the Standard Points Shield and third in the Championship Cup. Congratulations to our Captain, who after winning the 440, 880 and Mile, emerged Senior Champion. The perform­ ance o f F ox (Jnr.) was again such as to boost the House’s position. He won the 440 yds. and was second in the 100 and 220 yds. Other prize winners were Adams, Edwards, T. C., Singh, R., Sankies, G. A. and Joseph, L.A. In the debating competition Scott and ‘Pablo’ spoke at will and having carried Moulder to the semi-finals left us there. The Dramatic Competition saw Moulder as late starters featuring on the second evening. W e did not come o f f with a bang (at least the shot was not heard) and the results showed that we had failed to earn the 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions.

The football team consisting mostly o f youngsters, carried us to the top o f our section with 13 points, Weston also secured 13 points and so we featured in a semi­

finals. The first game ended in a nil-all deadlock, but in the replay a disappointed Moulder team bowed reluctantly to a 0-2 defeat. Our chief goal scorers in the com­ petition were Sheppard (5 ), Joseph (5 ), Edwards, 0 . G. (5) and Evans (3 ). Special mention must be made o f young Evans o f the 3rd Form who starred throughout the competition. Joseph (Lower 4th) also turned in excellent performances.

M y association with Moulder House has been from its inception in 1954 and I have grown to have lots o f confidence in the House and to always regard it as one o f the foremost in an overall respect. Our year to year records can easily show this and so I think it is the duty o f every person passing through the House to make a strenuous effort to maintain this tradition. W ith Mr. Barker as our Captain and Mr. Clarke as our 1st Mate we have been sailing in rather calm waters and I could only wish that our journeys will continue to be successful.

In passing I must mention my observation o f the lack o f “ House Spirit” which existed during the year. This seems to be a fever which nearly every House has caughtand it tends to make tlie House competitions lose their main purpose and so they now

seem to be merely means o f bringing forth individual capabilities. Thus we find o f the House Football Matches being attended not by the members o f the competing Houses but by the fans o f the game who more than often represent an equal mixture from all the Houses. This as I said is not common to Moulder House and as such I think that this state o f affairs deserves special treatment.

As I take my exit both from the House and from the school, I cannot but look back at my association with the House as a “ healthy” one. On closing I will like to render my sincere wishes to those returning and to the new Moulderites; and may the members o f the House always be moulded into a fine display. Remember Moulderites “ Labor omnia vincit” .

This year has been in some respects a disappointing one fo r Woolley. The majority o f boys was altogether too indifferent to the various competitions in which we parti­ cipated.

In athletics this is shown clearly when we consider that a mere eight boys accounted for some forty-four o f the fifty standard points gained. Our final score was 59% which speaks for itself and we finished ninth.

Our cricket team had the same spirit which won us the cup last year but after a promising start, we were unplaced. The Table Tennis team did its best, but this just was not good enough and we finished third.

W e lost our debate to in the first round, but mention must be made o f Nehaul, who showed himself a very promising youngster and a credit to the Junior Debating Society. Our play “ A t the Club” was unplaced as a result o f insufficient practice, but the boys must be commended.

Once again we made a good start in the football competition, but after the first two games which we played and won, we were never able again to field our full team owing to hockey trials and injury. This proved to be too great a handicap and we shared last position.

Here we must congratulate our own Jeffrey Lee who was selected to tour with the Colony hockey team at the recent Quadrangular tournament. Congratulations also to last year’s Heads, J. Lashley and L. Lewis, both o f whom were awarded Police Cadetships, and to W . Sewehand who won a Federal Exhibition. This exhibition has helped us to secure our place as winners o f the W ork Competition which we had retained fo r the greater part o f the year.

Returning to the losing vein, we shall be losing the services o f Mr. Lee, our Assist­ ant House Master, who will be going to Canady to take up more post-graduate studies.

The whole School will feel the loss as Mr. Lee was very active as Supervisor o f the Science Society and Hockey Master among things. W)e presented him with a .gift at our last assembly as a token o f our appreciation, and I take this opportunity to extend to Mm best wishes for thei future. W e will also be losing Mr. Chunilall fo r a term. W e wish him a happy holiday, and look forward to his return next January.

In spite o f the fact that W oolley has not excelled in sport this year, the House has continued to function smoothly, for whieli we are indebted in no small measure to our Masters Messrs. Chunilall and Lee for their advice and help. I would also like to thank my deputy Jackson fo r his keen support in all our ventures. I am indeed proud to have served as Head for this period, and to those remaining, I wish you every success in the future, N. P. Chan , Head o f House.

The year 1960-’61 has been one o f mixed fortunes fo r “ K ” House. In general, how­ ever, our tradition o f doing well academically, and “ giving o f our best” in other fields, has been maintained.

A t the beginning o f the year Mr. Dyal came to us as Deputy House Master, in place o f M r. N arayan, who is away on study leave.

W e were unable to maintain our dominating position in the W ork Competition, and after leading fo r some time, we were eventually beaten by W oolley House.

In the Cricket and Table Tennis Competitions our performances were not outstand­ ing, but we gave a good account o f ourselves. W e were unfortunate in the latter in being without the services o f our Captain, D. A. Ying, who was ill.

W e are still without many athletes, and despite very good efforts by Smith, Douglas, and House Champion, Hoyte, our overall performances were mediocre. In the Tug-oW ar event we did much better than in the past, and were tble to reach, the semi-finals.

In the Football Competition we finished third in our section.

McWatt and young Narine turned in very good performances.

D. Rohee, C. A.

W e were unplaced in the Drama Competition this year. W e performed “ The Sing­ ing Ghost o f Chateau Margot” , a play with a local background written by our House Master.

W e were able to win the Debating Competition this year through the good perform­ ances o f our two-man team, R. 0 . W . Kuehnel and F . L, Douglas.

Once again we have had success at the U.C.W .I. Scholarship Examinations. R. 0 . W .

Kuehnel won an Open Scholarship to the Faculty o f Engineering. He has, however, foregone this in preference to another Scholarship which he has been awarded to the McGill University in Canada.

During the year there has been a waning interest in extra-curricular activities, especially among the younger members o f the House. Improvement in this sphere will, I am certain, bring about an improvement in the general standard o f our performances.

I would like to thank the House fo r its very good co-operation, willingness to assist, and team spirit, which have all gone to make my term a very enjoyable one.

With the passing o f another school year, the times has again come to make a few reminiscences and to study intensively our position with respect to other Houses.

Even though we have not topped in any o f the individual spheres o f school activity, our performances have consistently been o f such a standard as to cause the name o f our House to be mentioned with some respect by members o f other House which have led in certain fields. Indeed, it would seem that the flame which was lit some years ago and has been fanned year after year, is now burning more steadily in the House, and if writings on the wall are to be considered, the glow will become very intense in the near future.

Filling the place o f Mr. Moore who is at present on study leave was Mr. Browne, and the first event o f the year was to welcome this versatile gentleman.

Almost immediately, Mr. Browne gained the admiration and respect o f the entire House, and his genuine interest in us was at all times evident. His constant words o f inspiration, encouragment and advice have had a marked effect on our affairs fo r the year.

Unfortunately for the House, Mr. Browne has been appointed Headmaster o f the new Government Co-educational School at Anna Regina. Although deprived o f this worthy services we are glad that many more students stand to gain by them. In bidding him goodbye, the House presented Mr. Browne with an initialled tie-clip.

The same unworthy dement o f which my predecessor complained last year, was once again evinced by certain Upper School members. Apart from the unbecoming behaviour o f quite a few o f these boys, the Christmas Social was a tremendous suc­ cess.

In the cricket competition, we ended up second in our section by virtue o f steady performances o f the team as a whole. Our captain, Stuart, must o f necessity be singled out because o f his outstanding contributions. The babies o f the team— Denbow and Niamatali, deserve special mention, and on them the future o f our cricket team rests.

The Summer Term brought with it mixed fortunes. In both the Table Tennis and the Debating Competitions our performances were rather disappointing.

Our efforts on Sports Day completely contrasted those o f previous years. Tlris was due to the great interest shown by the House as a whole, and the result was that we were well placed in both the Standard Points and the Championship competitions.

Both Browman and Coddett, the captain and Vice-Captain respectively, must be praised fo r the obvious revival in our Sports activities.

A t the end o f the term, we staged the French comedy "The Pie And The Tart” .

Although we did not place in the competition, we achieved the desired effect by get­ ting the audience into steady roars o f laughter. "Sago” Pollard was definitely at home with this farcical material.

In the Football competition, alhough we battled with Raleigh fo r honours in our section, we were edged out on points.

Our performance in this competition was indicative o f the way in which all the members o f the side pulled their weight and played as a team.

In the work competition we started at the middle o f the table and ended up third.

To regain our rightful place in/ this competition, I am convinced that the Lower School members must make greater contributions, fo r they must remember that points in the Upper School are really much more difficult to secure.

Although none o f the present Sixth Formers has received any academic awards, honour has beenj brought to the House by our previous House Captain, H. A. Niamatali, who won a U.C.W.I. Open Medical Scholarship, and our previous Deputy-House Captain, L. S. Kunar, whose Conditional Scholarship was changed to an Open one during the course o f the year.

Much o f our success throughout the year was due to the expert guidance o f our House Masters, Messrs. Yansen and Browne, and to both o f these gentlemen we are greatly indebted.

I have been associated with Yobbs House since its inception, and my memories o f it are all happy ones. Very few o f the original members now remain, and it is these boys whp can best appreciate the struggles we have put up, and the hardships we have survived in past years.

Without wishing to sound unduly optimistic, I think that in many spheres o f School activities, the foundations have now been laid, and it is up to the members o f the House who are remaining, to strengthen our posi­ tion. I therefore entreat all the boys to work hard, and to remember the words o f our veteran House Master, “ Yobbs House expects...........”

The Memory o f Burnt-Out Days (B y D. F. G. R O H L E H R ) It was a beautiful moonlight night.

The moon cast silent patterns o f silvern mystery on the dark green leaves o f the cherry tree, and transmuted by its ethereal influence, the shapeless rocks, the gently sparkling pool, merged softly into the gos­ samer insubstantiality o f the landscape.

W e were sitting on the verandah, the four o f us, sipping our wine and telling old tales.

It is pleasant to ruminate on past events, but no talk is so pleasant as cricket-talk, when we forget the fretful struggles o f the present, when all the frus­ tration and all the bitterness o f the past are rendered insubstantial and the memory o f burnt-out days revives.

Then dusty pitches are flecked with golden glory, and past experiences come through the gates o f memory, their inessentialities purged away. Then the skipper’s glare at dropped catches becomes an indulgent, forgiving and benign look. Then the new ball wears a flush more red, and Tony’s “ off-breaks” turn. W e sat and sipped our wine and told old tales.

The scene flashed back to the last overs o f a particular match. Four wickets to fall in two overs; the spinners accurate, but unpenetrative. Came Patrick. The youthful paceman takes the ball, now deprived o f its roseate flush, and begins his sidling run-up. H is first two balls are played with manly resolution. The third produces the death-rattle.

Over in school, the new hi-fi set is being tested out, and bars o f Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony come crashing across the field----- W e sipped our w in e ... .Pass the bottle.

The next batsman was the nonpareil o f fortitude, and ignorance o f the game’s basic principles.

Twice did he essay to

sweep a noble out-swinger from outside the off-stump. But the third ball did not scorn to extract his off-stump. Two wickets to fall and the last over to be bowled.

The sun was setting behind Eddie’s house, behind Soppy’s maison, behind Dood’s villa; behind the dark green casuarinas which sigh and tremble in the breeze. The sun was setting. And as it poured forth its last beams in that final protest against the approaching darkness, in that intense glow o f concentrated splen­ dour, it seemed to lend a mellowness to the colour o f the tree-trunks, the pitch and the incoming batsman. Beethoven crashed across the fields.

The bowler begins his run over the brownish grass parched by the April sun, but now imbued with a soft delicate glory through the kindly influence o f the sunset.

It is at times like these that one longs fo r the poet’s tongue. F or the poet speaks to our capacity fo r wonder and delight, and by giving shape and form to our own experiences universalizes them, and pro­ vides the means whereby man sees a link between himself and the rest o f humanity.

Different men there may be, but the experience o f all men remains thei same; their urges and impulses, their hopes and aspirations. All desire is the same desire, all wars the same war, cricket the same cricket! Oh fo r a poet’s tongue!

The bowler ran up to deliver his fourth ball while Beethoven crashed across the field. At third man, Patrick was thinking o f his girl, the ‘bounce’ last night and the spikes which had just come out o f his boot— all o f apparently equal im­ portance to him. ‘Banner* crouched behind

the stumps thinking o f Mackenzie days, thinking o f the Demerara River which even now, like some profound dark mir­ ror, was reflecting the departing grandeur

o f the setting sun in rippling flickers o f liquid light. Daiey at second slip did not think. Sixth form days o f Soppy’s French and Dood’s prose had not yet arrived .. . not yet the days o f China. The batsman was clean bowled. Pass the bottle.

As Beethoven thundered, the bowler’s run-up somehow achieved a rhythm which was powerful, an aspect which was symphonetic. The ball left his hand in a majestic downward sweep.

Automation and the Future

By S. A. HINDS, L 6 M A It would indeed surprise many read­ ers to know that the concept o f Automa­ tion, that is, advanced mechanization, existed even before the Industrial Revolu­ tion. F or instance, W att, famous fo r his invention o f the steam-engine, invented the fly ball governor in 1788. Whithey who gave the world the cotton-gin, pro­ posed making muskets from massproduced parts as early as 1789.

At about this same time also, two other pro­ gressive scientists, Oliver Evans and Joseph Jacquard, were experimenting with advanced mechanization. Oliver Evans devised a completely automatic flour mill, and Joseph Marie Jacquard used punched steel cards to control his automatic looms, Mechanization in the business field began with the invention o f a calculating machine by Blaine Pascal in 1642. In 1873, Charles Babbage made a tremendous advance in this field with his invention o f an analytical engine, the prototype o f the modern all-purpose digital commuter.

However, Babbage was limited by the accuracy o f the gears and wheels he used.

Today, electronic circuits now give very much more accuracy and are considerably faster.

Electronics have made the machines more efficient by providing ‘sensing devices’, enabling the machine to assess the circumstances around it.

A t the dawn o f this century, Henry Ford pioneered and developed the massproduction line on a large scale. On a production line each person must handle one section o f the assembling only and this must be done quickly and efficiently every time. Studies are being carried out as to the feasibility o f having complete automation on the assembly line.

The actions o f the workers on the assembly line are photographed, and experiments are being made to duplicate them by machines.

Automation has been intro­ duced on all production lines, assembling radios, T V sets, cars, aeroplanes etc.

Automation enables industrial plants to run continuously with a high degree o f efficiency and at speeds at which human control is not possible. One o f the best examples o f automation is the process by which tin plate (used in making tin cans and other containers) is processed. The steel sheet is thinned down from a thick­ ness o f several inches to lioo". This amaz­ ing reduction is continuously controlled by accurate electronic measuring devices. In the last set o f rollers the thickness is reduced from %oo" to Hoo" the length increases about 8 times the original length, and the tin plate issues out o f the rollers at speeds o f 60— 80 m.p.h.

The reader can appreciate from this example the enormous benefits o f automation in cer­ tain industries.

Another striking example o f the speed and efficiency o f automation is the Eord Engine Plant at Cleveland, Ohio, which is almost completely automatic.

This plant produces 4,500 engine blocks every day. When it is realized that 500 different. operations have to be completed and synchronized on each block and about 100 holes have to be drilled and polished to a high degree, the average reader will almost certainly have to sympathise and support the Industralists who favour automation rather than manual work, if they want finished products o f a high quality.

In the petroleum and chemical industries, where great emphasis is placed on the continuous and accurate flow of data, automation is a ‘must’ fo r the smooth running o f plants.

The technique o f automation has been applied even in the food industry. Meat, fish fruits and vegetables are sorted, packed (by size and colour), prepared or cooked, without the introduction o f the human hand at any stage o f the process until you open a can in your homa Auto­ mation on the farm has not as yet

QUEEN’S COLLEGE reached a very advanced stage, it being confined at the present moment to the use o f machines operated with less manual control than formerly. Machines fo r pick­ ing fruit and cotton have not proved very successful so far. Automation has been applied, however, to the rearing o f poultry and cattle. Stalls can have certain condi­ tions maintained regardless o f weather con­ ditions outside, and feed can be prepared and supplied at regular intervals to poul­ try and cattle.

Automation has even invaded the office, replacing the ‘intelligent’ office workers.

the military field the side which can mobilize faster has the greater advantage.

F or instance, an ordinary desk computer takes 20 hours to work out values o f a 60second trajectory. Now EN IA C does the work in 30 seconds. In many spheres o f war, automatic equipment must be used because o f the speed and efficiency factors involved in modem warfare.

Machines have also entered man’s recreational sphere.

Some machines can play checkers, bridge, chess and poker.

Many ‘remember’ past games played and after playing a certain number o f games should never lose any other game. Other machines have composed reasonably good m usic, and yet others solve p ro b l^ is. Even

Machines similar to E RM A can do all types o f accounting, cataloguing etc.

To those who argue against increased auto­ mation and who say that machines are better than man, or will eventually replace him, it is best to remember that a machine cannot take part in the processes o f life.

O f a Death and Departure B y C. G. H U N T E R There was a light breeze blowing.

Blowing through the window, stirring the heavy ornate drapes, plucking his tie, lift­ ing a small piece o f paper o f f the big mahogany desk, and blowing it past the plan o f the city, past the model o f his residence and over the desk on which it stood, out through the open window.

It fluttered down, like a small butterfly, like a moth in the slowly increasing dusk, grow­ ing more and more faint, until it fell into the branches o f a tree, lifting and falling, like a sheet o f old mud-sodden newspaper in the ebbing current o f a stream. And as he watched it, his mind strayed from thought to thought.

H e had nothing to worry about, he thought, this was his departure; this was to be his final bow ; this was to be his last appearance as Presi­ dent. Tomorrow he would be nobody; after midnight who would he be but another suburban old man, living in a big farm house. But would there be much dif­ ference 9 In his office he had ruled sheep and cows, and his remaining life would be much on the same lines. . . . But then, he thought, wild bulls and mountain goats, they are much the same.

And did he rule 9 W ho had been the shepherds 9 H e 9 Or his lackeys 9 Who were the men who were powerful 9 He or his servant 9 His stewards 9 Or were they his masters 9 Wtbo were really big men in El Cayo f W as he the biggest 9 or was his suc­ cessor, Jacques Mulliera 9 Oh, Mulliera was bigger than he; by at least a foot.

But n o; he was cruel, he hardly sm iled; he was below him, yet he had powers almost equal to that o f El Presidente, powers which were misused, misused in crushing and terrorizing the poor, peons.

Looking out o f the window he saw the trees along the Western half o f the San­ tiago Sea coast. Coconut palms were stretched fo r the full length o f that quar­ ter o f the town. Some bent, some straight —there was one he always noticed. It was one o f the tallest, yet bent. How like, he thought, Umberto Nasca, the long, dour Minister o f culture. Culture! The thought made him laugh. Culture !— that savage sarcastic brute 9 W as it not he — the President thought back,— yes, it was—he was the one who in a quarrel about morals had struck one o f his staff across the face with the result that the man had gained a broken nose. Poor Caligulo! H e was one o f the mildest men in the whole govern­ ment, and it had been his misfortune to be put in this pig’s office, to be the butt and receiver o f every sarcastic remark passed by him. Such an intelligent man too ! The President pitied him.

H e looked across the city as one by one the lights came on. There, he recog­ nised Snr. Caredon’s villa. Caredon had been the vice-president before Mulliera; a vague, cheery sort o f fellow, full o f jokes.

Soon, my old friend, thought the President, I will be as happy as you are; as free as you are.

A frown passed across the face o f the President as he saw that Mazyone was in darkness. He remembered that the power station was not functioning properly.

Without doubt, it was that lazy Director o f Works, Vayzone. H e looked across to San Cristo. O f course Vayzone’s house was well lit.

As he scanned the city he could see the other places . . . In Stan Cristo, the

house o f Dureynal, the economist . . . he himself seemed to have become one o f

This most unforgettable character had a definite interest in children and young people together with a deep desire to help.

H e had an enthusiasm fo r life and a thirst also fo r knowledge, and thus inspired, we also were with the desire to live and learn.

In him were the traits o f good humour and strictness. W e learnt from our mistakes we were never too old to be corrected.

Our Morning Assembly

By N. D. W IL L IA M S Monday morning ! The start o f another school week; the start o f another assembly; six hundred odd bodies ready to endure the humdrum procedure; a few minutes before the eight-ten bell, and right now Boris is greeting the new-born day with a yawn and sleepy eyes. Ten mim utes past eight on a bright and sunny Monday morning is the time fo r Boris to rise and shine. Yes, I quite understand you,, my friend. You were at a fete on ^Saturday night . . . did not come home until two' in the morning . . . . found the night air a trifle cold and the makeshift bed somewhat uncomfortable . . . . can­ not very well be blamed fo r oversleeping this morning . . . . Yes, the brain needed rest . . . . must get four subjects at ‘ O’ level this y e a r ----- Quite true, third time lucky !

W ell we must leave Boris to his morn­ ing ablutions, an essential part o f his daily life. W ith luck he might miss the late parade, and even the first period with ‘Empty’.

Buzz, Buzz, and more Buzz! Rumour runs its contagious course through the hall.

Everyone is simply bursting with news, news that just cannot wait to be told. Just what are the prefects doing ? Their best naturally ! A fter all, telling ‘Bread’ to shut up gains the same effect as telling ‘Empty’ to cut his hair regularly. Besides, the masters do not seem desirous o f enter­ ing the hall. They are standing around outside the staff-room waiting . . . . wait­ ing . . . .

Order at last ! W ell something like il anyway. Enter the masters. The noble ‘ Salvete’ leads the gallant twelve or fifteen who think it necessary to attend morning assembly (today). A fanfare as Bertie-H enters, his face radiating happiness and contentment. Two thoughts had struck him as he was shaving this morning. H e had paid a visit to the Zoo yesterday, and was

disappointed because there was no giraffe. “ Bertie” was a great lover o f giraffes* Their long necks and legs, bent noses, their jerky manner o f walking were all attrac­ tions to this animal lover. At the moment ‘Fader’s’ persistent tugging at his sleeve was annoying him. Just what did the lit­ tle ‘twerp’ want ?

And now the industrious ‘John Breeze’ tall, dark and. . . . O h ! well tall and dark.

He seems to be enveloped in a cloud o f problems. Cupid has ‘drawn back his bow’ on many in the staff-room, but the breeze is making ‘John B ’ an elusive target. W ell at thirty-five ( f ) he is still hand. .y. Now ‘Uncle Brow’ the non-conformist, lover o f West-Indian music and shirts, builder and contractor, partner in the ‘BroLow(e)-R obo’ Contracting Company, which was mainly responsible fo r the big success o f our last Athletic Sports. Next ‘Eddie’ chattering away to ‘Yango’ about family planning; ‘Boots’ blushingly con­ scious o f the admiration shown towards his hair-cut, and wondering how it would go down with his cadet uniform. I can just fathom his thoughts : “ I didn’t do so badly at last week’s Cadet Parade. No not bad at all ! Well, yes I did shake hands instead o f saluting once, but.......... well anyway I never wanted to become a Lieutenant in the Cadet Corps. In fact, I think I ’ll hand in my resignation.

Yes, that’s what I ’ll do ! I ’ll go up tc the . . . . to the . . . . well to the princi­ pal, and tell him bluntly that I ’m fed up with the Cadets. Yes, I ’ll say to him . . . .

Fortunately the hymn, is the well-known ‘Praise him Praise him,* a hymn noted fo r its spiritual unlifting, a hymn recognised only by its refrain, a hymn wonderfully executed by the pianist — and the sox-hundred voices.

Few students witnessed your entertaining display o f batting. Perhaps the others are still not convinced that you deserve your place in the team as opening batsman. However I enjoyed your stay at the wicket last Saturday.

The very first ball from the Malteenoes* fast bowler flashed past your stumps so close, that you immediately took a fresh guard. The second was too close fo r comfort, and before it had been returned to the bowler, you were tapping the crease in readiness fo r the third ball.

0 Fate! 0 Destiny! W ell John*, I myself cannot understand what hap­ pened next.

It must have been your spectacles, or the pitch, or the crow that suddenly appeared overhead. Nevertheless while you were brooding over the incident, the umpires spent ten minutes trying to replace the broken stump. Anyway you can boast a Case Cup century to your cr e d it.. . . well, yes you did take a couple days over it, but it takes a tall and stub­ bornly defensive batsman, ‘a good ground field and a fair catch*, to make centuries and 'be the schooPs opening batsman.

A QUESTIONNAIRE The idea o f a Questionnaire was bor­ rowed from the 1960 Issue o f the Helsby Grammar County School’s Magazine. The Questionnaire is not intended to victimise any form or individual. This is evident in the fact that percentages are given. The Questionnaire has revealed some interesting facts about certain reasonable but wrong assumptions usually made by all who have an interest in Queen’s. Despite the objec­ tion shown to the Questionnaire in some forms, our panel o f workers (some, martyrs to the cause!) were able to weather the storms, quell all fears, and eventually obtain the confidence o f the forms. This faith in the panel was neces­ sary to produce true answers from each person concerned. This faith was" gained and the Questionnaire was finally a suc­ cess.

The hardest forms to convince o f the genuineness o f the project were the turbulent Fourths, so let us begin with them.

FOU RTH FORM S Every boy in the Fourths reads books other than the prescribed text-books; comics and crime fiction being the most often perused. 80% read comics; a little under 40% read Science fiction, and 2% spend some time dipping into philo­ sophical wTorks!

Although 95% use the Public Free Library only 28% take advan­ tage o f the services o f the School Library.

Most o f the fourth formers are musiclovers with decided tastes. 60% do not appreciate the classical works; 24% love jazz; and 60% enjoy the calypsoes and o t h e r popular compositions.

‘Johnny Mathis’ and T a t Boone’ are among their favourite composers, but ‘ Sam Cooke’ is the most popular.

Cinema-going is a regular feature in the Fourths (o f course they always go after school hours ! ?) and the 95% who regularly go, 60% prefer Crime, Comedy, and Biblical production.

30% would give anything to see a “ Brigette Bardot” or “ Jane Mansfield.” And despite the age limit they succeed!

From the ‘ Turbulent Fourths’ we move on to the somewhat ‘Hilarious Fifths’. In the Fifths the Questionnaire revealed, in some instances, a departure from the tri­ vial ways o f the lower school to the more serious outlook which is necessary in the Sixth. Evidences o f the puerile, however, were markedly seen. Not that there were atrocities, but yet one expects a more seri­ ous mien from these forms which are the stepping stones to the Sixth, and inci­ dentally, fo r some who leave after taking

32% go out with girls and o f this number only 8% have regular girl friends.

However 95% intend to get married!

O f the school societies the ‘ Cadets’ has the greatest attraction fo r the Fourth former. 30% are in the Cadet Corps. 25% are members o f the Science Society; 6% the Debating Society; 10% attend Chris­ tian Fellowship; and 4 % attend Drama and Chess Societies.

98% intend to go to University; the majority prefer British Universities. 25% intend to go to U.C.W .I., and only 1 % feel brave enough to chance University life in East Germany! (They claim they are not and do not intend to go ‘Red’ ).

80% go to church, though I perceive that the majority o f these are ‘sent’. 35% claim to be Christians, and 12% atheists!

Found in this 12% are those who profess to dip into philosophical works.

Mr. S. R. R. Allsopp.

Our activities during the past year have been quite moderate, but even though our programme got underway rather slowly, it Quickly accelerated and produced, in the end a fine series of debates in the Inter-House Debating Competition. With this step the Society created new ground and we hope that this new feature will last and improve as the Society progresses.

During the Christmas Term, we performed creditably in the Patrick Dargan Debating Competition, and special mention must be made of Messrs. Rohlehr, Croal and Ramprashad who piloted us safelv through to the third round of the competition before finally being defeated by the Polygon, eventual winners of the competition.

Q.C. proposed the motion that ‘A dictatorship is best for an emerging country than any other form of government*.

Our main activity for the year was the Inter-House Debating series. Competition was keen throughout and Cunningham and Durban met for the final. Cunningham, who proposed that ‘The hand piavs a more important part than the head in bettering the existence of mankind*, emerged the winners.

They were represented by Messrs.

Kuehnel and Douglas.

This series of debates was always interesting and allowed more members of the school to gain experience in public speaking. Unfortunately, however, the meetings were poorly attended, and it is a pity that the boys do not find more time to donate to these activities.. We hope that this situation will be remedied in the immediate future.

On the whole we have had a fairly successful year, and we hope that the new Committee* will quickly undertake their task and produce a fine programme for the New Year.

To them we extend our best wishes.

This, the fourth year of the Historical Society has been unspectacular but interesting. We started o ff the year with a new supervisor, the able and en­ thusiastic Mr. Dyal, who guided us throughout the year. The poor attendance and lack of enthusiasm among members necessitated an abortive end to many projects. However, one interesting project did materialise, this was the help given by members of the Lower Sixth Classical to Mr. Persaud, the Government Archivist, in bringing up-to-date James Rodway’s “History of Georgetown” for History and Culture Week, 1961. Members must realise that the best way to kill a society is not to attend meetings and to refuse to pay dues.

Mr. E. P. CLAYTO N

The past year has been one of considerable achievement and progress. Dur­ ing the Summer Term our supervisor, Mr. E. P. Clayton, was away on a wellearned holiday. His place was adequately filled by our Principal, Mr. V. J. Sanger-Davies. Our activities' this term took the form of lectures on play pro­ duction, and the reading cf plays, The Easter term was once more highlighted by our “Inter House Drama C om p etition ” . W h ereas last y e a r six houses participated in this competition, all but one of them staged a p la y this year. The Society extends its heartiest thanks to our supervisor for inspiring interest among the houses, to Mrs. SangerDavies for her fair judgement of the competition, and to Weston House which, for the second time running, won the coveted “ Clayton Cup” . One point that emerged frcim this competition was that adequate preparation and rehearsals must be carried out by all houses if the best results are to be achieved.

In the Summer Term, our activities were to some extent limited, owing to the external examinations. However members of the school successfully staged another Gilbert and Sullivan opera— -“The Pirates of Penzance” — which was well received by enthusiasts in Georgetown. Towards the end of the term plans were initiated for staging two plays at the B. G. Drama Festival which comes off some time in September. In conclusion we must express our regret at the attendance at meetings, which could be at a higher level than it is now.

A brief review of this year’s programme reveals that the society has had a year of average progress, in spite of a few setbacks. Early in the second term, L. L. Lewis, the President for the school year 1960-61 left us on a Police Cadet scholarship to pursue studies in England. In April, however, the above committee was elected to carry on for the rest of the school year.

A t present, the membership of the society stands at four hundred and fifty and the total savings at five thousand, nine hundred and ninety-five dol­ lars and eighty-four cents. This year, the Co-op shop was re-opened and it is now in the capable hands of K. Daljeet, one of our treasurers. Great progress has been made since its re-organization and the store has proved to be of in­ valuable assistance to the boys'. “Heavy” items such as shirts are gradually being introduced.

Some interest in the society’s welfare was shown by members during the first two terms. The change in committee, however, undoubtedly hampered the society’s progress; added to this, there was a complete lapse in the third term, owing probably to the “A ” and “ O” level examinations.

In conclusion, I would like to exhort the senior members to help to keep the society’s flag flying and on behalf of the society, I wish to give thanks to Mr. Rock, our supervisor, .whose ready support and valuable advice we found encouraging at all times.

Two years ago the Pen Pals' Club was formed. Miss Akai, whom some of us will remember, was the first supervisor. Through her help and co-opera­ tion, and through the great interest shown by members of both the Upper and Lower Schools, the Society has steadily progressed. The membership was orig­ inally ten. A t present it is over the fifty mark. In two years the Pen Pals' Club has earned a very good name and now ranks high with the major societies of the school.

A t the beginning of the year, Mr. Brown became our second supervisor and has helped the society immensely with his advice, experience and encour­ agement. The members will all miss* his good humour and we wish him every success at his new post as Headmaster of the Anna Regina Government School.

Throughout the year the Pen Pals' Club's achievements have been bene­ ficial, educational, and a good example to the members. It is hoped that there will be a vast increase of members, especially boys of the Upper School. Remem­ ber, the Pen Pals' Club is your club and is there to assist you in corresponding with persons in other lands.

A fair measure of success has been achieved by the Society during the last year. W e now have at our disposal two enlargers which are producing excel­ lent results as can be seen in t'hje pictures contained herein. Plans are now afoot to construct a third which will greatly help to improve our present situa­ tion.

During February some of the members, accompanied by Mr. Lowe, went on a Photographic tour of the W est Coast. It proved to be very interesting both photographically and otherwise, after having been postponed twice.

There has been a noticeable decrease in membership however, and the attendance at meetings has been very scrappy. This has a reflection on some of the senior members who are the chief defaulters.

W e have been very unfortunate in losing the services* of president who left school at the end of the Christmas term. enthusiastic leader will be leaving us to take up a scholarship U.K. Government. W e wish him all the best, and hope that his Chinapen, would find his stay among us a happy one.

For some time, certain interested chess-players had been making efforts to revive this game. Therefore, at the beginning of the Easter Term, these boys met and made plans for forming a Chess Club. The Principal readily sanctioned the idea and generously provided the Chess sets needed. In the Summer Term ambition seized the members and the main feature was a Handicap Competition for the Upper and Lower Schools. The results of this competition will be determined in the next term and we hope that prizes will be awarded.

It is with great regret that the club will bid farewell to its President, R. O. W . Kuehnel who will be studying in Canada. To him great tribute, especially where the founding of the Society is concerned, must be paid. However, despite this loss, we do hope that the club’s career in the new year will be one to be admired.

The Christian Society has just completed a relatively successful year.

‘R el­

atively successful’ for during the year there was seen a rise in our attendance, the average being a little over 20. During our weekly meetings we studied the Books’ of the Kings, taking note of the political and historical background, as well as searching in each example for a truth to grasp or precept to follow*. A study was also made of the life of St. Paul, and we took as our guide for the term the very question Paul himself asked: ‘Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?’ Some found this a very searching question and have decided to make it the guide of their lives, Each bible study was led by one of the senior members and on a few occa­ sions we also had a bible quiz or spelling ‘B\ W e were successful in a bible quiz against Cambridge Academy. This quiz and our programmes were aimed at encouraging all to read the Book of books, the B-i-b-l-e.

This year has been one of moderate success. W e had no external debates.

This, of course, was partly due to the formidable reputation which the debat­ ing society of the previous year had created.

There seems to be a lack of interest in debating in the second and third forms. W e would like to ask masters to try their best to get the boys inter­ ested.

QUEEN'S COLLEGE CADET CORPS Officer Commanding:

Capt. C. E. Barker, E.D,

The beginning of a new school year brought on the usual re-adjustment within the Corps., and so the following promotions were made w.e.f. 14th Sep­ tember, 1980.

T. C. Edwards from Cpl. to C.S.M.

C. V. Ho from Cdt. to L/Cpl.

V. R. Boodhoo from L/Cpl. to Sgt.

C. B. Holder from Cdt. to L/Cpl.

R. E. Grant from L/Cpl. to Sgt.

A. R. Bacchus from Cdt. to Snr. Cdt.

E. R. E. Jansen from L/Cpl. to Snr. Cpl.P. A. Bryce from Cdt. to Snr. Cdt. F. E. M. Paul from Snr. Cdt. to Cpl.

O. Pollard from Cdt. to Snr. Cdt.

The decrease in numbers in the Corps, made necessary the reduction of pla­ toons from three to two. The platoons were under Lt. Dyal and Lt. Clarke, respectively.

Honour was bestowed on our Captain when the Governor pinned on him the ‘‘Efficiency Decoration” . During the first term members of the Corps, were engaged in a “Torchlight Parade” around the City, and the annual “Armistice Day” Ceremony and Parade.

The great necessity for a person “ in charge of stores” was evident after we settled down in the school year and the promotion of Snr. Cdt. Morgan to Ag. Cpl. i.c Stores was made w.e.f. 14th March 1961.

During the first part of the Christmas term the cadets were under train­ ing from the N.C.O.s. Instructors from the B.G.V.F. under Sgt. Barker then took over and continued throughout the year. 35 Recruits enlisted during the first term and their first parade was held on November 15, 1960. From these numbers 5 were dismissed. The remaining 30 Recruits “passed out” to Junior Cadets on June 6th, 1961. Our gratitude once again to Sgt. Nichols of the B.G.V.F., who produced a h ig h sta n d a rd of m ilita r y efficiency in o u r R ec ru its.

The number of cadets on roll at the start of the school year was 64, but by July 1961 this number was reduced to 54. 7 were dismissed while 3 were per­ mitted to resign.

A N N U A L REPORT FOR THE Y E A R 1960/1961 The past year has been one of many memorable events. The celebration of our 75th Meeting on Wednesday, 8th March, 1961, was a big success. This was due mainly to the sumptuous ‘supper’ served late in the evening. The occasion was unique in that it marked the first time that the Principal, Mr. V. J. Sangar-Davies, was present at a meeting of the Science Society. There were also two talks by members, toasts and a comprehensive resume of the first 75 meetings which was presented by the President. The Head-of-School was our special guest.

The range of the lectures was very extensive. The talks proved to be both interesting and educative. A new feature has been introduced — the series of Speakers included two ladies:— Mrs. R. B. McConnell, D.Sc., and Mrs. K. Dick­ son, M.B.B.S. Our Guest Speakers included Old Boys of the School and their subjects provoked many sensible questions and enquiries.

This year, the number of scientific tours has been increased and the scope widened. The increase in membership is a direct attribution to the popularity of these tours. Two major tours were made— one of La Bonne Intention sugar estate and the other at Atkinson Field.

The outgoing Committee wishes to express its thanks to the U.S.I.S. which has made two film shows possible. Their kind services have contributed tre­ mendously to our successful year. W e also express our appreciative thanks to all our Guest Speakers and the factories and installations which we toured.

Special mention is made of Bookers Sugar Estates Ltd. W e also thank the members of the Society for their co-operation during the year.

“ THE SM ART OFFICE C LE R K ” A clerk there was who at an office worked, And who the greatest part of duty shirked; Whene’er his boss was not at hand to looke, A little nap upon hi$ desk he tooke; The rule which stated that a Government task Was never done until the boss did ask Tie well upheld; yet seemed to toil so hard That twice yearly a raise was marked on his card.

He koude the mind of every pretty girl By steadfast looks at once put in a whirl.

Fair of complexioun was he and tall A n d seemed strong enough to breals a wall,

This man was quite a worthy lovyere, Quick-witted, glib of tongue and of speech cleare, Two or three girls a week would he out carry, Though no intention had he one to marry, Of clothing wore he nothing but the best And very attractive was when he was drest.

He surely was a good compamioun, But of his qualities no more anon.

(Submitted by H. G. Archer, L6G, with profound apologies to the late Geoffrey Chancer.)

“ LOVE”

By F. L. DOUGLAS (L 6M A )

Love, precious, costly, invaluable thing, Panacea of human ills, Propagator of human life, Dispenser of hatred, harm, and strife; Absent in d/ictators, despots, ki/ngs, Present m paupers, and lowly beings, I would o f thee request one thing— Thine perpetual abode.

‘WOMAN*

By F. L, DOUGLAS

(L6M A)

Ask a mm why he doth strive For mastery and a crown, Or why he studies night after might, And pours over hooks so long; Ask him why he dreams of, great heights, And wrecks himself to attain them, Ask him almost anything, And he’ ll blame it to a woman.

Ask him what has wrecked his life, When, he was happy and quite free, Ask him why he walks the streets With feelings of antipathy;

Or ask him why he frequents the court, And lives in jeopardy; Ask him almost anything, And he’ ll blame it to a woman.

Oh woman ! woman !' cause of strife, Incentive to reach great heights; Womm, woman, creator of ills, And cause of many sleepless nights; Oh woman, woman, thou cursed thing, That ensnares and traps all menj 1 would destroy, yes, kill your being, But alas! FU achieve my end.

Dear mother has gone, she could not remain For our Father above called her away.

To an unknown land as bright as day Cruel death thou has with a fatal blow, Brought her sweet life to a sudden close: I know not why thou hast gone to rest.

But dear mother our Father in heaven knows best.

Only those who have lost Know the pain of parting with a gpodbye.

SPORTSMAN OF THE- YEAR I am sure everyone will agree with me wholeheartedly in awarding this, the supreme honour that can be bestowed upon any of our games stalwarts, to Noel P. Chan,. For three years now this stocky player has been a familiar sight representing the school on the football field. A tower of strength at left half, he is also an accomplished dribbler with lots of ball control. His brilliancy in attack and his never-say-die attitude in defence give confidence to the rest of the team. A t the end of last year over in Trinidad his play was’ outstand­ ing and has been ever since. He was awarded school colours in football last year. Towards the end of this year he was kept out of the Dias Cup match and the matches against QRC on account of a knee injury at football. Though known primarily as a footballer, he is a fine hockey player as well and was even called to colony practise last term. This in itself was an honour which also reflected on the school. In 1958 he started as school goalkeeper, the next year took over the left back position and this year he played at centre half, proving h im s e lf v ir tu a lly in d isp en sab le.

T h is g iv e s a clear indication of his versatility; and his school colours in hockey this year were truly deserved.

It is hoped that he will continue in these fields as' there is a bright future ahead of him especially in football. I take this opportunity on behalf of the whole school of wishing him every success in the future..

FOOTBALL REPORT (By J. R. G. BAMPRASHAD) The fo o tb a ll y e a r 1960-61 has been b y no m eans sa tisfa cto ry . T h ere can be no doubt that the standard o f fo o tb a ll displayed this y ea r is fa r fr o m co m ­ patible w ith that o f the p reced in g years. It is n ot because w e w ere u n fo rtu n ­ ate to p ossess the available talent to fill th e depleted ranks o f the last year, but rath er because o f a gen eral lack o f enthusiasm th rou g h ou t the sch ool, and p a r­ ticu larly am on g several Senior m em bers.

In th e Ju n ior L eague f o r 1960 w e w ere at the to p o f the table and reach ed the fin als o f the R ussell Cup, but ou r m erits w ere q u ick ly dissipated b y o u r in ­ d iffe re n t d isplay aga in st St. Stanislaus in the D ias Cup. T h is cup, the sy m ­ bol o f In ter-C ollegiate su prem acy, should be rega rd ed as the prim e g o a l o f the F ootball Section . O ur loss w as ou r m isfortu n e, ou r defeat, ou r hum iliation. I do not p ropose to m ake excu ses f o r ou r sh ortcom in gs, but ra th er hope th a t the nucleus o f the team rem ainin g f o r 1961-62 w ill fa r e m u ch b etter in the s o c c e r w orld than w e did.

P E N P IC T U R E S K IN G , D. R . L .: A sou n d and capable g o a l keeper, w hose cred itable p er­ form a n ces and dependability have earned him the position as th e reg u la r keeper.

H e should g o fa r.

V A R G A S , A . F .: A b rilliant but e rra tic k eeper w h o allow s a g g ression to be his dow n fall. H e should realize he is th e last hope o f the team . H e is s a fe in the air and on the grou n d and possesses' a g o o d kick.

L E W IS , G. K„i A capable and dependable le ft back, w ith a th orou g h k n ow ­ ledge o f the gam e. H e kicks w ith both fe e t and alw ays keeps a co o l head. A t le ft back he has' p rov ed h im self a stalw art on m any occasion s.'

S E E L O C H A N , S. C .: A speedy tem peram ental w in g -h a lf w h o k ick s w ell w ith both feet, but ten ds either to m ark to o closely o r to leave his m an en tirely.

I f he balances the extrem es o f his play he w ou ld be usefu l.

D A V IS , M. E ,: L e ft-H a lf, a replacem ent f o r Chan, w h o has p e rform ed creditably. A natural le ft side player, he tackles and m arks his m an efficiently.

H e is a b rig h t p rosp e ct fo r the fu tu re.

A b il­

Cup Competition) run by th e , B .G .T .A ., the, standard; of stab le tennis has nevertheless been very commendable. The. quality of table tennis players is heartening but there seems to be a dearth in numbers playing the game seri­ ously.

To the new table tennis officials I hand over the confidence of successful table tennis1 activities during the coming school year.

PE N PICTURES ZITM A N , R. I, Our once captain who had a rather putrid year of table tennis.

Failure to practise, coupled with the general rise of standard around him brought on his decay.

YIN G , D . A . A player with an apparent will to lose in the Semi-finals. Acci­ dentally reached the finals in the Doubles Tournament. Lack of confidence and futile attempts1 to “use his head" are features which are retarding his progress. Should try to develop a sure defence or attack^ both of which he applies to ju st a very fair degree.

FIELD S, E . I. J. A hard hitting player who “ doesn’t mind defending" and s‘o finds a sure way of losing the initiative which he is quite capable of achiev­ ing from his very forceful attacking strokes. A willing practicer who with a little more guts should mature into a good atacking player.

W A R R E N , C. A . This stroke-player is a midget in any'team ('form ’ or 'school’ ).

Has the material which could make him school champion next year. Sound attacking strokes with an ultra-good defence (when on form ) are his weapons. He is however, seriously handicapped by his; present incapabil­ ity to “ play from behind". This is a serious fault and must be remedied now. Junior Champion for two successive years. : ; CH AM -A-K O O N , W . R. Climaxed his year’s experience at Queen’s by reaching the finals in the Senior Championship after victories over Zitrnan, W arren, Mercurius and Fields. A somewhat, fearful player with a veil of coolness which has earned him the title “ Cool Cham ". W ould become the “Cool Cham p." if he cuts out his reserved play and makes ?more use of his general playing ability. Like Warren he is a true all-rouhd playeW v ' < H A Y N E S, I. K . Had a rather mixed year. Started off in excellent form cop­ ping both the Handicap and Doubles Tournaments, The tHouse Competi­ tions saw him in a sorry sight even failing to make his House team.

Returned in the Senior Championship and nearly got past Fields in the l Finals. Possesses a fair defence with good “ one" shots, but owing to complete absence of “foot works’’ is often hopelessly out of .position.

M ERCURIUS and H U BBARD . Two Juniors from whiom a great deal was expected, but who have yet to show sufficient interest.

ATHLETICS 1960-61 (B y C. H . H O PE) For the second year running our annual athletic sports were held on our ground at Thomas Lands. From the outset one thing was very obvious, and that was that our sports lacked the usual gaiety, excitement, and enthusiasm for which it was once well known, and indeed, but for the thrilling finishes evinced in the senior divisions it was a dull and colourless affair. Since it is unlikely that the venue of our sporfca would shift once again to G.C.C. Ground Bourda,} I sincerely hope that efforts would be made to provide greater seating accommodation on our ground to enable us to invite many sports enthusiasts and members of our sister school, Bishop’s High School, who by long association have become an essential part of our athletic meetings.

Once again the struggle for supremacy in the Standard Points Shield was confined to Weston, Pilgrim and Moulder. Pilgrim however came out on top and went on to win the Championship Shield.

Records broken at the meeting were the Senior Cricket ball by L. Bunbury, the Under 17 Hop, Step and Jump by G. K . Lewis, the Senior Hop, Step and Jump by C. B. Adams, the 880 yds. Under 15 by R. Paul and the Senior 440 yds. by C. H. Hope.

In the Under 13 division, Hastings of Percival, showing great promise, emerged champion. Morrison o f Austin just edged out Paul (Pilgrim) to take the Under 15 Championship while P. A . M. Griffith reproduced some of his old form to take the Under 17 division title from A. E. Fox. In the Senior division C. H. Hope and E. I. J. Fields battled it out for supremacy with the former finally emerging champion.

Unlike previous years the school team took part in only one major athletic meeting.

This was against our arch-rivals St. Stanislaus College whom we easily defeated by 44 to 28 points. Outstanding performers were E. I. J. Fields and C. H . Hopei who between them won a ll of the flat events, and anchored the relay teams to victory. The school’s performances in the$ field events however were not of a very high standard, and this is where the opposition gained most of their points.

E n passant I should like to say a word o f thanks to our veiy able and energetic master, Mr. Clayton, who in several ways is responsible for the success of individual members of the team as well as the team as a whole. Last year we lost star performers Singh, J. M .; Thompson, A. 0 .; Holder, T. O.j and! Newport, E., and this year we will be losing Grant, R. E ., and Hope, C. H ., both of whom are stalwarts in their respective distances. However with ‘driver’ Clayton still at the helm, I am quite confident that the School will once more be able to build up aj top class athletic squad.

FIELDS, E. I. J. Sturdy, well built and possessed with a lot of natural ability, “ Ivor John” is now our number one sprinter. A hard worker this youth, should go very far. His enviable record o f being a division champ for five years running is perhaps unequalled and was broken this year by C. H . Hope.

GRANT, R. E .

Quick striding, though short and stocky, was unfortunately kept out of this year’s

sports by leg injuries. “ Surge” has however been our number one quarter-miler fo r the past two years, and lived up to expectations in Trinidad last summer. > M A RSH A LL, C. 0 .

Gay and carefree athlete with a long stride. Has performed consistently well thr season. Needs however to develop the “ killer instinct” necessary in modem athletics.

DUMMETT, B. L. A. Strong and well built, the ‘kid’ is perhaps the best all-round athlete in the school.

A fair high jumper with lots o f spring, should go/ fa r or rather ‘high’ i f he would only take trouble to do so.

BUNBURY, L. “Muscles” Bunbury is our number one field event and shot putt performer now that Singh, J. ha^ left the scene. Trains seriously and deserves his successes.

FO X, A . E. A good youth with a powerful stride. His performance this year has not been up to his usual standard and he should .get down to some serious training fo r next year. Is quite capable over his ‘pet distance’ the 440 yds. and should go far with ‘hard’ training.

GRIFFITH , P. A . M. Though a natural athlete, seems to be more interested in cricket. Produced some of his old form to win the Under 17 championship this year. Quite an efficient relay runner.

CODDETT, R. “ Bull” performed creditably throughout the season, at times surprising our top sprinters. Seems however to be interested only in the 100 yds. dash and should change this attitude.

M ORI S ON, C. This youth has shown his class by again carrying o ff top honours in his division.

Wias not quite as good as he should have been this year and needs to pull.

DOUGLAS, F. L. A keen youth and a fair middle distance runner, but he needs to realise that it takes hard-training and determination to produce a good middle-distance runner.

HOPE, C. H . (C apt) A powerfully built middle distance runner with a fast finishing burst. This season he merged Senior champion with victories in 880 yds., thq mile and a record 53.1 secs, in the quarter. Although his best distance is probably the half, regular training and competition would make him a 4 m. 30 s. miler.

A capable team captain who bore the burden of the College distance running this season (E.P.C.)

Told by Mr. Evans at the Nobbs House party “I was going up to Heaven.

W hen it was my turn I was rejected on the ground that I hadn’t suffered enough; I promptly retorted, “Y es, I have” . St. Peter then said, “Have you seen Nobbs House play football?” I said “ Y es” . St. Peter then smiled and said “Come up” .
