Colours for .

Guyana St holars Sir, T he last time school colour s were awarded to our boys, I noticed that only one section o r the school was represented viz. the Sports section. While I am by no means tr ying to hin t that these awards were unj ustified.

I am very interested in suggesting that in fu t ure, colours be aw arded to Guyana Scholars.

These distin guished student s have certainly done enough to further the progress of th e school and to earn themselves the coveted prize of school colours. It is noted that. one of t he six b oys given the award on the la st occasion was not in school a nd his prize was confer.

Jed 'in a bsentia.' Thus I see n o rea son why th e Guyana Scholar s should not have their s conferred in t he same way if t hey are away.

'

reel that it's asking for too much if one s uggests self-help to rep air these clocks. We have built a f ence, so we can emulate lhis achievemen t by attempting to. repair our clocks. Well you science-mind ed studenlR, what about a try ?

I know that I shall have \],(backing of t he majority of t he school on thi s issue and so I am pleading with the authorities t o consider my argument seriously.

Thanking you in anticipation.

ueen' s to become comprehensive scho.ol Our L!l67 Annual Prh:c-givinu d:l\· Ceremony was ~ 0 ' h eld on l,;t, December in onr school auditorium. Under the cha; nnamhip of ~fr. J. Wills, the ~vening's proceeds fot underway on time, immccliate1y after the arrival of the Prime .Minister and otl,er important guests. As u sual the auditorium was packed to its capac-.ty and as is customary our boys did not fail to lend that oxh·a bit of cord~ality and appreciation in the form of resoundrng applam:,:!, towaros the success of th~ Ol..!casion.

HIGHLIGHTS ment and poor preparation to Two fea .ures were especiaily pre-common entrance pupils

noteworthy at this year's Speech Day. The Cadet Corps, decked in its ceremonial outfit lined the main entram.e in a Gua1 o.Jof-Honour, which was admired by every guest present. As usual these boys, under ihe 1 ommand of Company Sergeant Major Hugh Watson were crisp in their m ovements and smar: in their dress. The other feature was the performance of the first scene of the fir£ t Act of Julius Caesar, immediately after the Guard-of-Honour had broken off. This scene was characterised by the same .superb acting a.;; was displayed when the whole play was staged two weeks later, under the direction of Mesl.TS. M. Drepaul and J . Rickford.

When the scene had come to an end the actual evening's proceedings commenced.

THE HEADMASTER

"After the School's .!'unior Choir, conducted by Mr. R"·~~ie Mc David, had rendered three live·y songs, the chairman called upon the Headmaster to deliver his lfraditional report for '.he Academic Year 1966-67. As usual in his blaze of glory, Mr. Hctram was interrupted several 1ime5 by the deafening cheer which followed his quotations of Latin, Greek, Sanskrit and even German.

After touching on our G.C.E. results for the year Mr. Hetram went on to make comments on the cau ,es of the poor standard of English µrcv<1lent today not only in Q.C. but in the whole of Guyana. He , aid that 46 per cen t passes in Rnglish Language in the country's leading school was far from being worthy of praise ' nd stressed certain factors ' ·hich may well be responsible f,1r this retrogression in the rcenta~e pas.;;. The envirun'

were the most g'aring rea"On5 for this. But he also noted , 1-i .,t the English exercises wou' d ro be familiar with cer a?n terms which we use such as "kcPpin ~ noise" "rockstone and " fov:1cock." Thus, even though it seems perfectly all right to us to use the~e terms, the examiner would be ignorant of their meanings and thus the marks would suffer. Then again, he went on, in keeping with their call for independence and theh· desperate efforts towards upkeeping the independent spirit, Guyanese people have developed an "independent feeling" and quite admirably attenipt to use 1 heir own language much to the disapproval o{ the examiner. A-,, a result, Mr. Hetram declared, "the candidate'S receive independent marks". The Radio and the press can be very misleading and faulty where the use o' the language is concerned. The Headmaster quoted the word "spoliation" as an example of such a word. Yet it was used by one writer in a leading newspaper and above all used three times in the article.

Finally he noticed that the use of obscene language, is most common in these days and our students having to be in the "'UrMundin!!<; where this type of speech is prevalent. would naturally be hampered. In his s u ·t;.(cs' ion for improving the percentage in the language Mr. Hwam recommended that the subject be tackled very seriously at it:,; primarv stage.

In his speech our Headmaster a/'so

After he had spoken for w~ll over twenty-five minutes, Mr.

Hetram brought his speech to a close a section of which, namely the construction of our fence was later answered by the Prime Minister, Mr. Forbes Burnham.

JULIUS CAESAR - A SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION With the invaluab le assistance of a cast of enthusiastic and potential young actors, ably supp orted by members of the stage societies producers J. Rickford and M. Drepaul staged a beautiJ1ul production -0f Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Put on at our own auditorium, the play had a su ecessful five nights run and was received by near capacity crowds at all performances. Success was due however to sacrifices, discipline and nine weeks of con<>··ientious rehearsings. The cast travelled up to New Amsterdam for a one night p erformance at the Town Hall. Even though parts of the play were unfortunately omittedt the audience was thoronghly delighted at the b oy s excellent efforts.

High.ligths of the play were the crcwd scenes and some ve:-y fine acting by James L aRos" (Brutus), Geoffrey Massay (Marullus), Terrence Bostwick, (Portia), Richard Young (Caesar) and Godfrey McAllister (Anthony).

ITHE QUEEN'S CO LLEGE LICTOR

FRIDAY 24, MAY> 1968

FORUM: DID THE FO·URTH FORMER ,DESERVE· LONG TROUSERS? Much to the su:nprise and chagrin of the Senior members of the school, but to the obvious delight of the lower school, it was announced by the Headm a st er at the end of the C h r i s t m a s term that from the beginning of the , Easter Term this year, fourth formers wou.ld be allowed to 'Wear Long trousers to school.

This was the most unexpected concession to be .granted and even today it is still the topic of conversation a111,1ong manu boys. Fou?4th formers think it was Long dti,e and are vehement in their argument in defence of their elevation. Fifth and sixth formers on the other hand a-r<' unanimo'ILS in their denunciation of this pri.viLege.

and they do so regardless of time and circumstances.

• The boy in the fourth form is at a trying point of his life. He is generally not sure of what he wants to do and as such, is not mature enough to appreciate the level of respect to which the public elevates him when he wears his long trousers to school. Little do~ he realise that it is on him that the first and second formers pattern their school lives since >the. fifth and sixth formers are too far away to reach out to for inspiration.

Sadly our fifth form is not living up to expectations in the sphere of discipline and by not showing enough maturity, pro-

The Lictor staff will now bring members of the school the opinions of three boys on this topic.

While it is gratifying to note that the upper school can now easily be distinguished from the lower school because the upper school boys all wear long t rousers, it is at the same time disturbing to quite a few who feel that to wear long trousers to school no longer provides the feeling of achievement it once did.

When a boy from this sch ool wears long trousers to school, he is looked on by the public as somebody different, more mature and more polite than his colleagues who from time and time again tarnish our image in the eye of the public

CONCLUSIONS

This was what the }[lead Boy Sydney A. Mc Intosh of upper ;ixth Modern (A ) had to say:Tradition and ideology were such in this school that at on~ time only 'sixth formers were allowed to wear long trousers.

But with tradition in our age fast falling into disuse and primarily out of a desire to keep abreast with the times, our school has undergone certain changes which inevitably form the basis of argument whenever the other boys gathe11 to reminisce.

from t he l ower school may have prompted this action. Why not have tne upper school starting from the fifth, and th ereby putting an end t o the one factor in the kids favour. When the present fifth form, as fourth formers asked for long trousers they were rebuffed. Are the reasons put forw.ard then not able to counter the arguments of these little boys? Did they sound so menacing that our able headmaster saw it best t o give in?

OLD BOYS' DAY vided the fourth formers with the best possible argument they could ever present for wanting to wear long trousers. This is looking at the state of discipline and maturity from a realistic point of view and is not intended as a slight on the fifth form.

With these things in mind, 1 cannot say that I am an advocate for fourth formers wearing long pants to ·school.

Not in Favour When asked what he thought of this concession this is what David Hal.es of Form 5A had to say:-

IN SUPPORT Eric Phillips, a fourth former had this to say when asked to convince the rest of the school that the present Fourth Formers deserve the privilege of wearing long trousers:The obvious answer any responsibile fourth former would ~ive is a blunt 'yes!' I said responsible fourth formers because certain elements in this form, have no idea of the meaning of the words 'community develop ment,' and therefore find excessive pleasure in isolating them themselves: We believe that we should wear long pants because of various reasons. The first is that, in Queen's College the up per school is from the fourth form, thus, by wearing long pants one is able to be clearly distin· guished from his lower school mates.

The present Fourth Formers are a bunch of immature, irresponsible kids, who should never be made to feel equals of fifth formers. They are the shortest fourth form Queen's has ever had, and to see these whippersnappers strutting down the In this ' present age, any boy corridors would make any old around the age of fourteen to boy who had to wear short pants fifteen mostly wears long ! pants even in the lower sixth bristle a s their homely attire and a s with anger. this habit fully develops, (hair on their legs grows considerably, Queen's is a school of many thus), when they appear in the tl'aditions, but of late many are, school with short pants they repbeing done away, with.

Our Gymnasium I S Open •

Wed: Fifth Forms; Sixth Forms Thursdays 1 A, 1 O;' 1 D, 1 D

Fcidays

From the 29th April of th is the dreams of Queen's College students d ecades ago actually came thr ough w hen our school Gymnasium w as opened.

Though there was no formal declaration of the Gym ; actual training commenced from this date and for the first time every piece of equipment could be used at one time. The gymn.asium is under the strict supervision of Mr. Kretsch, who ha; done quite a lot towards its suecess.

EQUIPMENT Desplte the fact that all th~ materiali. ordered have not yet arrived, our gymnasium is already capable Olf giving iremendous assi.Stance to our boys.

Jmtalled already are : - The FTorizontal Bar, 4 climbing ropes.

6 mats, Horizontal overhead ladder, a vaulting box, a pull· up bar .and an adequate set of weights.

There are several pieces yet tn be installed among which are the Abdominal Boards, t he Balance Beam, Jumping and Skipy ear

ping ropes, a Medicine Ball ad a Basket-Ball Blackboard and t in.

The gymnasium projects started j.ust over a year now but several attempts were made by previous gener.ations of Queen'c; College towards its realisation However, t hese attempts failed and indeed the present Queen's College students are happy to know that they are the lucky students. The project w.as backed up financially by the students themselves (subscriptions and form projects), the Old Boys' Association and the Julius caesar play as wen as sever.al firms.

SCHEDULE Before its official opening the Gy mnasium was used by several forms of the Lower Schoc. l during Physical Training sessions. A few of the pieces were used by these forms under Mr. Kretsch's supervision.

New h owever , a permanent schedule has been drafted as follows: 4.00-5.00 p:m:: 5:00-6:00 p:m: Mondays 4 A, 4 B ; 4 C, 4 D Tuesdays 3 B, 3 D; 3 A , 3 C

It has also been .anncuncecl that a small bOxing section w·u be formed by Mr. Kretsch. I am rure this news will enhance the spirit of severat boxing enthusiast s. Several people from the Guyana Amateur Bc!Xing Associafion will be up here at school to give talks on the cor1·ect method af approach to tbP sport. A trained U.S boxer wJl al.£0 b~ ava!lable to lielp occ.aslonally.

Now that everything seems to have gone on a start, thanks to the untiring efforts of members of the Stud<'nts' 'Jo unci2 <' • ,.,. -t . year and this year an•l n' rourse Mr. Kretsch, the Lictor '>faff would like to congratulate the schQoJ on its a<ftl.;evemiemt, We would a lso li(,:e to thank the school's sh'f anrl local firms for their r ea1y help in this worthy cause. One thing that we are <:eriously demanding is that the users of the gymnasium take good care of the equipment.

With t his done, we can have I ours of f un and en joyment in ' llr gymn~um, the first to be nected in :my school in Guyana!

Most of our reader· may well have r r n:ise,d that at the end of last term tradition was ou tdone tu an -ex te nt when there was not an e ditiin of the 'L~~b .' rn·c; was certainly no attempt by the Editorial Board to inconvenience our readers.'

It was decided to incoporate the editor·a1 due\ last, ter.m with that of th ·s term in ord~r to produce a newspacked is• ue to ceJebrate the Second Anniversary of an Independent Guyana. As a result om readers may find one or two artl'cles a bit out-dated.

INTERESTED IN CROSSWORD?

OUR ROLE IN We are at present at an important milestone in our country's history. In a few weeks· time we will be celebrating the second anniversary of our count rv's at tainment of independe~ce.

Therefore, I think it is only fitting that we should linger a moment and tak e stock of our '5ituation. A recent estimate revealed t hat over sixty percent of our country's population is between the ages of fourteen and twenty. This forcibly brings home to us the fact that we are entrusted with the vital task of building a new nation which will soon be abl e to assume its proper positio;n among the leading countries in the world.

WHAT IS QUEEN·~S DOING IN AN INDEPENDENT GUYANA? ~ 'If\~ Neiw tha t this count ry is on the

GAMES However, not only do boys at Queen's College need a sound education and to be active in societies etc., to become a perfect model of a man. They need to play games. Few people are aware of the many benefit'$ that can be derived from sports. It teaches one to be a sportsman not to bother w hether one wins or loses but to play the game F AlRL Y. One can also learn to understand peo.Ple better by playing games. Everyone loves to be healthy and robust. Games c~n make one be this way. For any society to function properly the members must observe the rules imposed. This is extremely important in games and doing this helps one to be eventually more disciplined. Games help to improve o n e's reflexes.

It gives a better co-ordination between the mind and the body, It is because the authorities of Queen's College are aware of these advantages that they keep on stressing that e v er y student should participate in at least one game.

Queen's has always held her A keen reader will observe own in -t his field in the past. We that I have started with the aca- have had cricketers, footballers, d emic side of things, This should table tennis players, athletes and not, b y any means, imply t hat that education is the only th ing stressed at Queen's. What it does imply is that t he academic side is extremely important in the school.

threshold of the third year of Independence I think it would be most fitting to analyse what Queen's has actually achie~ ove r this two-year period.

Just glancing at the results of 1964 and '65, one sees that the percentage paS!es in both the Advanced and Ordinary Levels were well above those of! 1966, 1967.

Even though it can be argued that we managed to get only one Guyana Scholar in 1964 it is still important to note that the overall wc,rk was better.

Granted that we secured eighteen distinctions at the Advanced Level in 1966 and '67. But ,foe~ this signify that we are rendering our all? However, we c~n console ourselves in the fact that since the cou ntry became an independent Nation we have upheld the superiority and supremacy set by former Queen's College students. Our standard has not dropped but it seems as though our beys are slackint in certain subjects.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

SCHOOL SPIRIT The motto of our school is "Fidels ubique utiles" - faithful and useful everywhere. But is this what our boys have been doing, being faithful and useful' everywhere? For this to be done there must be awareness of the prestige which our school has acquired and is continuing to acquire.

School spirit must be there. In the past I have been informed that when a student passed through Queen's College he was fully aware of what the country had done for him and what he consequently owed this, his nativeland. Today, repeated reminders by members of the Staff that we owe the ta.x-payers c:omething, several of our boys continue to adopt a lethargic attitude both to their academic work and to other school activities. However, with the effacing of all traces of colonialism and the emerging into a Qne Guyanese nation, with a development of a national feeling, such ~lovenly attitudes should disappear.

students have realised that we SUGGESTIONS must play an important part in the development of our young While it is true that we are dc nation. ing very much for our nation.

Our societies in the past have always served their purpose.

Long ago, being a member ot a society carried a cert~n prestige with it. When a boy left school and he reminisced what he did for and what he gained from a society he was always proud.

This d evotion to society work has p aid off very much. If you were to pick up a Q.C. magazine of former years you would see the names of politicians, doctors and lawyen of today appearing several times in the extra-curricular sectir n.

These societies have groomed the boys who, on growing up. have acquired a fine sense of dignity - which Is the purpose c f these organisations.

Today the societies in our school are doing creditably, 'J here has been a marked increase in interest in certaL\ societies over the last tw6 years.

Today this trend is still sustained to a certain extent. Over the last two years we have seen Ian McDavid representing Guyana at athl~tics, Keith Aaron and George Robinson at cricket, David Couchman Andre Fields, Rasliegh Browne and Eric Phillips at Football, Linsday Lee, Roger L uncheon and Frank Chin, in Hockey and Terrence Hopkinson in Table Tennis.

LICTOR INTERVIEWS MR. KRETSCH Since it is customary for new masters to be introduced, the Lictor staft took the opportunity of interviewing Mr. Kretsch a member oi the Peace Corps.

Born in 1945, he attended Newtown High and 1ater Springfield College in Mass., from where he graduated with a BSc. in physical educ:1tion. He joined the Peace Corps movement because it is serving a useful pw-p'Ose and he thought it would be interesting and adventuresome.

When he first arrived, he wat Physical Education Officer on the East Coast , where he held l'eminars with teachers. In January 67 Mr Kretsch was asked to come to Queen's. Since w e are more privileged than other schools, he did not feel it important at first to work here, but he was later disillusioned a nd now frankly feels that there i~ a lot to be done here. He doe~ not find the general attitude to games satisfactory and thinks that the system needs a general revision. As a n example of a poor attitude to games he quoted the footballers. When tohl that boys usually give the excuse of t he preEsure of academic wo:-k for non-par ticipation in extra curricular activities, ihe remarked that both games and studies could be freely mixed. He also. commented on the lack of supporters which he said could have a demoralising effect on players.

FOT special mention he singled out Rodney who demonstr(lted a combination of work and will power, Morrison, a natural athlete with a good spring, and also CLarkc, P eters, Thompson and Fox. As , iegards the footballers, he thinks Browne and Phillips could go a far way and he admires young London who makes up for h!s lack of size with courage.

CHANGES Mr. Kretsch considers a fev; changes necessar y in the t)re;~nisation of our gameE. First of all there s hould be seasons for sports. Cricket and football should not be played during the ~ame season so that a boy will have to make his decision as to which game he will play. Boys who want to play. a few games !:hould be encouraged to do so and should not b ranch out too soon. 'However, when they do so, they will have to keep training all year round.

Secondly he feels games should only be played on a school level. He does n ot t hink our participation in the Wight and F .A. cups i~ a wise move, bu t is inclined to believe that well organise<! r port~ and games for high i:chools would be a better idea.

Th irdly more boys should b e encouraged to play ~rune~. The onus of keeping the School colours flying rests on few boys ancl this is not fair. The School offers many opportunities which are not being taken and Mr. Kretsch thinks th... t most boys do not realise how lucky they are to attend Queen',, College.

FOUR CALLED TO CRICKET TRIALS It is indeed sratifying to note that of the forty-odd players called to practice for possible selection on the National Cricket Teams to

play against the touring M.C.C. teamrour were Queen's College boys,

DAY

This year's Parents Day was held on Friday, February 2nd. A fairly large gathering of enthuf;,1s.ic parents filled the first three rows of chairs in the northern half of mu- .auditorium. After listening to the morning Assembly, parents were requested to do their visiting to class rooms. Strict orders were issued by the Headmaster that we ignore the visitors and that they ask questions in any class.

At 11.45 p.m. a respectable number of parents partook Of a lunch which the Tuck Shop had prepared and which cost $1.00 After lunch the parents visited the classrooms during the afternoO'n session of school At 4.15 they were treated to ~ fine display of proficiency and co-ordination by thlf Cadet Corps, which was decked in full battle C'"'f1 1ipment.

At 6.30 p ,m. there w.as a General Meeting of the Parent Teachers' Association. The attend ance was encouraging and when this came to an end, the last activity of the day, the cocktail party immediately got underway, These parents had the chance of meeting masters and c\f sharing in the delicacies prepared again by the tuck shop. When at last the party came to a n end, the curtain came down on yet another successful Parents Day .

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR STUDENTS' COUNCIL

Late Flashes Since this issue of the Lictor is a combined edition (Easter and August terms), several o.f the articles were written fairly early. However, quite a lot of events have taken place between thle 22nd of April (by which time m ost of the articles were written and the 23rd of May printing time) . Thie 'Lictor• tries h keep its readers up to date with these highlights of school live; by introducing this secticn.

BASKET BALL REVIVED Thanks to the untiring efforts of Mr. Kretsch, Basketball has been revived for the Fifth and S ixth Forms. The game was played by quiie a number of boys during 1964 and '65 at a c0urt where now stands the Bank of Guyana. A t the moment the g.ame is played on the Parade Ground's Court (Burnham's Court). There seems t o be much interest in the game, played by these bigger boys during their non-working periods.

On Saturday 11th May, the Lower Sixths opposed the Fifths in quite a good match. What was especial'ly noticeable, was the fine ·passes which the Fifth formers displayed.

However, their scoring power was very weak as opposed to that o;f the Lower Sixths, who downed their opponents 25 points to four. Both parties produced some fine play, but Fifth formers Barker, Brcwne, Massiah and Hales have far to go in the game with seric.us practice and also have Hansen, L ee, B. Holder and Taylor of the Lower S ixths.

Now that the game has been re~tar1Pd we hoi.:>e it will flouric;J, from generation to generation m Queen's College Boys and we sincerely thank Mr. Kretsch for stimulating the interest in the sports at Queen's.

THE HEADMASTER INJURED Tboe sad news reached the ears of Queen's College students on Moinday 7th May, that our Head · master, Mr. Doodnaught Hetram bas been hospitalised owing to nn accident which he encountered two days before this day.

It wa s reported that 1'4r. Hetram was in company with some friends at his home when the incident occurred. He is s aid to have leaned back on a stool on which he was sitting to partake in the laughter which stemmed from a joke shared by someone.

As the floor was polished the stool slid from under him and he fell. A few hours after he discovered that he had broken his ankle and was l:ater conveyed to the L ady Thompson Ward of the P.H.G., where up to the time of writing, he was a pa-

•·ent.

We sincerely sympathise with Mr. Hetram and we trust that he would get better as early a s possible.

Up to the time of writing the competition did not have any upsets, even though only the first and second rounds were played off.

As Queen's College is doing extremely well at Table Tennis it has been decided to enter teams for the National Cham;,>ionships to start within tw> weeks time.

The Lictor staM wi<;hes these gentlemen the best of Luck.

BOXING CLUB FORMED One of the Clubs recentl y formed in Queen's College has been the Bc·x ing Club. Under the supervision of Mr. Kretsch the Club has drawn quite a lot of interest from our students.

HAT-TRICK

CRITCHLOW SCORES The annual Senior Table Tennis . Championship tottrnament was won by Critchlow for the tlhird St1,Ccessiv} year in a thriiting finish.

There were fifty- one entrif's which was easily inadequate, as table-!'ellnis is very popular at present in Queen's. The seeded players of the tournament were Critch!ow.

Chow-Ah. CJar":e, Blenmann, Phillips, Chichester, Mc Intosh and Y~ap.

C ompetition was keen from as early as the second round, wh:m Harris defeated the No. 7 ~eed Mc Intosh. In the third round there were further upse~s. One of these, was the defeat of Blenmann, by Fields one of the :-;urprise players of the tournament, by two games lo ntl. Th '?n Layne overcame an erratic Harris by two games to one. The Ki£soon-Yhap match was uninspiring with Kissoon eventm• lly winning by 2 games to one.

Then the major upset canie when No. 2 seed Chow-Ah. w1s beaten by D. Wallace in an exciting game by 2 games tO' 1.

1n the quarter finals, four of the eight players wen? rrom l-ilgrim House. They were D. Critchlow, A. Fields, D. Wallace, and A . Kissoon, the other player!' were Clarke, L Hyne. Chicchester and the talented Phillips.

In this quarter final, Layne waii Jutclassed by Critchlow, while Chichester fell to an aggres, i ve L. Clarke. In the other two matches Phillips outplayed Kissoon while A. Fields defeated an improved D. Wallace.

Here wmething must be said of the crowd which was db-

appointingly poor throughout the tournamenl In the semifinals however, the biggest crowd of the tournament were entertained by some fine tennis from the four semi-finalistr Clarke, Fields, Critchlow and Philips.

In the first match, Critchlow, after fighting in the first game to an at:acking Clarke, came back to win the other two games, ea::ier using all the experience and guile which he has learnt over lhe last five years. 1n the other match, Fields who had played extremely well during the tournament, continued his winnini; streak by defeating Phillips in the most exciting match of the tournament. It must be noted that Phillips' youthfulness and inexperience cost him his place in the finals.

It was once again an 'E' house final as has been the case for the last four years. Here Fields, confounded the critics and gave the very poor crowd a grand treat. After losing the first game 5-21 to Critchlow, he came back in the Eecond game to outplay a relaxed and over confident Critchlow. In the third game Critchlow started to con,:entrate more on his tennis and 1es;; to the whims of the crowd and using his dangerous flick, v,on quite easily. Fields howe\'er, coc,l as a cucumber won the fourth game, and for the fin:t time since I am at Queen's, the senior finals had to go its full length.

As both Fields and Critchlow are defensive players, the fifth game had all the thrills onP.

THE QUEEN'S COLLEGE LICTOR

FRIDAY 24, MAY, 1968

Donald Rodney, a gifted ath lete who trains extremely hard waF. fittingly rewarded on Sports Day when he smashed two records. The first to go was the mile. In a well judged race the well built athlete clipped 7.5 secs. from the previous record of 4 mins. 55 secs. set by David Chung in 1964. L ater in the day he broke the Under 17 880 yards record set by J. T .Thom in 1962.

The record! was 2 mins. 10.7 recs. and Rodney recorded ~ mins. 8.4 secs. Indeed this was a sterling performance and it iF meant to let the school kno w that Rodney now proudly holds 5 schonl records -

From the start of the Athletics competition this year Percival House seemed bent on winning the covetel Stanard Point Shield and i ndeed it is gratifying tQ know that the 'A' House boy!! managed to acc'Omplish this.

Owing to the inclement weatr.er, thm-e was som~ doubt as to whether the standard trials could be completed in time, for Sports to be held on March 7th.

In the end theE~ fears were cancelled, for the rain gods, having had enough, call ed off their showers, much to tihe relief of the games master and his a fsistant, in the middle of February.

Our annual athletic activ:ties were thus able to be commenced with the running off of thP standard trials, which were efficiently organised and , to m:e the motto of a former j!amP~ master, there wa'S always •'keen competition amidst willing cooperation."

By ~he end of the week however Percival was leading by almost four point~ from a determined Austin wi i h only a few events left to be completed including the hurdles and 'C' House was still capable of overtaking the leaders.

108; G - 93: H -- 81· :i2 nnd L - 56: INNOVATIONS Thi.~ year we r aw quite a fe w innovations at 01tr School Sports. sh The first of these was the introduction of the time eleMent in all races. Previously, judges were in the habit of taking the fiirst two or three athletes in ~ach of the semi-final rare~ and putting them to run in the finals on Sports Day. Now, only the beEt six times were necessary.

Thus if a runner came fourth in one race and his time wa!' faster than one who came first in another race, the fourth man could a:un on Sports Day. Thi,was a welcome innovation that met with favourable comment from all sides.

Another new feature was the introduction of the 4x440 yards relay and it was indeed a pitv that only six houEes entered teams for the preliminaries.

The other new idea concerned the Tug-0-War event. Herc instead of dividing the Hom;f's into two sections, each testing the strength of the other in the best of three pulls, all teo Continued on Page 12 K -

THE LIOTOR STAFF

Queen's Relegated To Wight Cup It was with a deep sense of regret that I learnt about the decision of the Guyana Cricket Board of Control to relegate us from the Northcole Cup to the Wight Cup Divis.ion in the 1963 competition. To the close ob,erver. this decision probably c:ame as no surprise because ow· 1!l67 Northcote• performances were rotten, to put it mildly, this. apart from our sloppy and lack 'ldaisic'al a t titude both on a nd o'f the cricket field. Indeed, I am very unhappy in having to supoort the decision of the GCBC in the light of our two completed matches in the Wight Cup Compe'. ition. Admittedly . we have been without the services of our most competent capta in and wiC'ke tkeeper, but s urely. one play r should not be as impor ta nt as Aaron's ab~e nce has proven him to be.

Incidentally Aaron was absent because he had been '"alled to the Guyana Cricket Trials, along with Cheddie.

Our first match of this season wa s a festival game a gainst the Old . Boys of Queen's College.
