many of the British Royal Family. On leaving the Garter Chapel we assembled in the court in front of the main steps, from which Lord Rowallan, standing a few steps below the Dean of Windsor and two other clergymen, made a short speech. He told us of his intention this year not to ask the Queen to take the salute, since she had so many public engagements; he went on to say that the Queen had requested that she be invited to attend. He ended by calling for three cheers for Her Majesty, and, afterwards, one for the Dean of Windsor. After this we marched back through the crowded, sunlit streets of Windsor, to the camp-site, where we disbanded, and returned home. M.

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL We are often inclined to consider that the Easter Term is the term for colds, infectious diseases, and some general unpleasantness, but this term we have really managed very well indeed. It is true there was a run of mild influenza amongst the boys, but the School was not disorganised as most of the cases quickly recovered, and so the events of the term have been carried through successfully. The weather must be the subject of some comment, for, with the exception of the strong gale of 31st January-4st February the greater part of the term has been remarkably still and windless, and perhaps as a consequence there have been many foggy mornings, as those of us who cycle to School every morning knew very well. We have had practically no snow, and very little rain, but we have had many frosts, so that on several games days the grounds have been too hard for rugger. The first Lesser Celandine in flower was brought in on 23rd February and several 'Coltsfoot flowers on the same day, but they were very early forerunners, real signs of coming Spring did not appear until a week or two later. Notable specimens brought in for Natural History lessons include two Pygmy Shrews, a nearly white Stoat, a Weasel, a Jay, a Waterhen and a Great Tit. Amongst the activities of the term there have been several event., of interest. On 118th January a good proportion of the boys in the Junior School attended the special Epiphany Service in York Minster. On Ash Wednesday a special service for the whole of the Junior School was held in the School Chapel at which the Chaplain gave a short address. On Thursday, 126th February, the boys of our upper forms saw a film entitled "Olympic Champions of Helsinki", which interested them very much. 59
