memory will be of the kindness and enthusiasm shown by all the ship's officers in making our visit so very enjoyable. From Hull the "Clan Brodie" went to Antwerp and then to Glasgow and Liverpool to complete discharge. The company's schedules have been much upset by the strike, and we do not at the moment know anything of the ship's future movements. In any case, it seems possible that Capt. Graham will be transferred and that we shall "join" our third Clan ship shortly.
C.C.F. NOTES The first event of note in the Summer Term is always the General Inspection. The inspecting officer this year, not sent by the War Office, but invited by the Head Master, was Lt.-Gen.

The Signals Section reports that in the Ladder Competition of the Inter-Schools' Wireless Net they finished 13th with fifty contacts. Cpl. Clough was highly commended in his instructor's exomination; two new cadets, Chilman and Wilson, A.C., are now able to transmit at 8 w.p.m., and the Section hopes to improve its performance in the Ladder Competition in the coming year.
R.N. SECTION The first part of the term was, as usual, spent in preparation for the Annual Inspection. The chief task here was the re-painting of the whaler, a task completed by an enthusiastic body of sailors led by P.O. Leishman, mainly during spare time. The special demonstrations 54
