The librarians have not been idle during the term and have done much towards streamlining the overcrowded Choir Library and to repairing many of the books and copies of music, in addition to their normal duties of putting out and collecting anthems and services. The music performed during the term was: — The noble stem of Jesse. O'er the hill and o'er the vale. Up good Christen folk and listen. The Carol of the Star (Noble). A spotless Rose (Howells). All they from Saba (7acob Handl). *Walmisley in D minor—Nunc Dimittis. *Vaughan-Williams in D minor—Communion Service. Lord for thy tender mercies' sake (Farrant). *Naylor in G—Benedicite. *Stanford in B flat—Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis. Creation's Hymn (Beethoven). Drop, drop slow tears (Orlando Gibbons). Ave verum corpus (Mozart). * With the whole School. F.W.
CAREERS CONVENTION AND EXHIBITION, 1964 Such is the wide range of business and professional openings facing a boy leaving school, that even so successful a Careers Convention as our first could indicate only a section of the panorama of opportunities, and a complementary Convention and Exhibition was therefore planned for this year. The Trial Examinations over, the School became suddenly the scene of frenzied activity as teaching rooms and the Gymnasium were transformed by a group of enthusiastic boys into display centres and a projection room. Then there was a brief moment of calm before the exhibitors began to arrive. For Mr. Coulthard the careful paper organisation of many months was about to take a tangible form. The wide variety of the exhibits must have surprised all visitors, and the consultants to whom I spoke impressed not merely by their own enthusiasm and readiness to answer questions (even when the enquiry came from a boy who gave as his reason for an interest in banking the fact that numismatics was his hobby) but also by the unprejudiced approach they showed when advising individual boys, being much more concerned that their answers should encourage sober reflection than that they should entrap the unwary. Some of the exhibits had a popular appeal; from the crowds surrounding the intriguing exhibits of the G.P.O. and the International Computors and Tabulators Ltd., it would appear that we have many embryo technologists. 12
