HOUSE NOTES

BRADING'S

Housemaster: Former Housemasters: Mr. F . M. Goldner House Captain: M. D . E. Khan

Mr. S. J. Brading Mr. H. Gregory

The Lent term has been one of success. The best performances were on the track where, under the able captaincy of M. J. Clift, we came second in the Athletics Competition and third in the Rappard Relays. We con­gratulate Andrews on breaking the Class III 880 yds. record.

In Cross-Country we were again successful, coming second in the Steeplechase Cup, with the Juniors winning their race. M . D . E . Khan, M. J . Clift, Bull-Diamond, Andrews and Clough ran for the School.

Unfortunately no success was achieved in the Football Cups, both teams being eliminated early. However this should not imply that we lack good footballers . R. J . Hennessy and J. M. Allen played for the 1st XI and AlIen was awarded 1st XI colours. M. E . Derrick and A. A. Pain played for the 2nd XI. We congratulate R. J. Hennessy on ~eing sel~cted to play for the Public Schools XI and J. M . AlIen on bemg appomted School Football Captain for next year.

This has been an exceptionally good term for House Fives. J . M. AlIen and M. E . Derrick won the Open Doubles, Hall the U.15 Singles and G . Baker won the Novices' Singles. Derrick and AlIen were awarded quarter colours and Hall a junior crest.

The Chess team was successful in winning four out of seven matches. M W French and G . Baker were chosen to represent the school.

. We sincerely congratulate our School Captain, M. J. Smith, on being invited to join the W. H . Rhodes Educational Trusts 1962 Tour of Canada and also on gaining entrance to Pembroke College, Cambridge.

Finally, we offer our congratulations to M. W . French and A. A. Pain on being appointed House Prefects.

BROWN'S Housemaster: Mr. L. A. R. Shackleton

House Captain: R. K. Dollimore

Former Housemasters : Mr. E. C . Brown

Mr. R. L. Taylor Mr. B. E. G. Davies

Mr. F. A . Meerendonk

Our congratulations this term go to C. R. Henderson on being awarded his school 1st XI colours. The Football Cup resulted in the Seniors being knocked out in the first round by T yson's. 'The Juniors, with six school players, were unfortunate to meet Spurgeon's, with 13 members of school teams to choose from, in the semi-final, and were defeated by 5 goals to nil.

In the Steeplechase we were not so successful as in the past few years, for, although R. K. D ollimore was the winner of the Senior race, the House as a whole achieved only fifth place, whilst the Juniors came seventh.

In the School Sports we could reach only third place, although we have R. K. Dollimore and D. J. J. Rowlands as captain and secretary respectively of School athletics, and B. R. Dollimore and A. S. Abbott represent our School.

Our main success was the winning of the Rappard Relay, in which we scored 40 points .to Spurgeon's, the runners-up, 26.

The Chess League Shield finally came to us after a clean sweep by our very competent team.

And lastly, we must congratulate R. K. Dollimore on winning the Public Schools senior half-mile at the White City on April 28th in a time of 1 min. 56.2 secs., the third fastest time on record. A fine performance, which augurs well for the future.

Housemaster: Mr. R. R. S. Barker

House Captain: W. L. Cox

CRmB'S Former Housemasters:

Mr. A. F. Cribb Mr. W. H . Morgan

Mr. L. H . J ones Mr. M. H. Cocks

The Lent term proved quite successful, despite an early disappointment in the steeplechases, owing to a general lack of enthusiasm.

Under the captaincy of R. W. F. H ope, the senior soccer team did very well to beat a good Brading's team 10-1, but were unfortunate to lose in a good match against TUlley's. In the Junior Cup, captained by D . R. A . Hope, we also reached the semi-finals, where we were unlucky to be beaten by Dutton's.

As usual we were well represented in the school fives teams by the secretary, R. L. Dolby, N. P. Smith, P . G . F ox and Hebden. Despite the fact that Dolby was unable to play because of injury, we fared very well in the fives tournament, in which Smith, Fox and J. C . Ashdown were outstanding. Having recovered from his injury Dolby played extremely well to reach the last sixteen in the Public Schools Fives Singles Tourna­ment.

Our position of fifth in the Rappard Relay and in the School Sports was not caused by any lack of keenness on the part of the captain, C. J. Redgrave, but by the fact that there were only a few participants from the House with any natural running ability. We would like to congratulate D. R. A. Hope on winning three finals and Ashdown on winning two. Redgrave, Cox, A. R.. Mat~ews and M . E. Burgess alsQ ran well. ' .

754 EDW ARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE

B. McClellan as Mercutio, and M . P . Snasdell as Paris, represented the House in the very successful production of "Romeo and Juliet." Finally, we would like to congratulate G. K. Boyes on his appointment as a House Prefect.

DUTION'S Housemaster: Fonner Housemasters: Mr. S. Incledon Mr. F. Dutton House Captain: C. R. Anderson. Mr. C. E. Hack

Although our results were generally disappointing the cause was lack of natural ability and not a lack of enthusiasm. The Junior Cup Football Team fought their way to the final and played extremely well, to lose by a narrow margin to a superior Spurgeon team. The Seniors were not so fortunate and were beaten 4-1 by Tyson's in the semi-final.

In the unofficial League runs this term the House had varying success owing to the fluctuating strength of the competition. In the steeplechases both the seniors and the juniors ran well to finish third in each event. The House was fourth in the combined result. Roberts, P., and Owles ran very well to come fourth in the senior and junior races respectively. Several people from the House ran for the School and we congratulate P . Roberts on being awarded half colours and P. A. Cannon, Hughes and Adams on being awarded quarter colours and junior crests respectively.

This year in the athletics sports we were only able to obtain sixth place. Next year, however, we hope for a better result, with such promising athletes as Stone and Pollinger. Unfortunately we were dogged with injuries and neither Owles nor Balaam could compete. Ross, despite his age and height, gained a well-deserved third place in the Class I high jump, and Hughes in Class III astounded everybody by his speed and keenness.

Injuries again played a great part in our failure in the Rappard and Marathon Relays, in which we were unable to secure a respectable place.

Generally the House had no great success in the Fives Tournaments; the only noteworthy perfonnances being those of C. R. Anderson and L. E. Smith who were the losing finalists in the Open and Novices' Tournaments respectively. However, what we lacked in talent was to some degree compensated for in keenness. In fact more than two-thirds of the House entered for the various tournaments, and C. R. Anderson, Owles, Pollinger and L. E. Smith represented the School.

We congratulate P. A. Cannon on being appointed a School Prefect, and G . D . Harris and H . Wooster on being appointed House Prefects.

Housemaster: Mr. P. J . Gillard

House Captain: S. A. Burnett

ROPER'S Fonner Housemasters:

Mr. A. J. Roper Mr. F . Linnell

Mr. F. A. Rudd Mr. W. ]. Smith Mr. E . F. Upward

Despite earlier defeats in Cup football, we finished the tenn on a note of success with our victory in athletics. Under the very able captaincy of Phi pps, our team was ahead for most of the time up. to the School Sports, when we planaged to retain our lead through a most exciting afternoon and finish first. It would be invidious to single out individuals responsible for this result when so large a number of members of the HOl,lse contributed to its attainment, Roper's haVe also made a creditable

-

EDWARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE 155

perfonnance in the other main event of the term-the Fives tournaments. Langley was eliminated in the semi-final of the Open Singles, but pro­ceeded to win the Under 16 tournament. He and Phipps also came first in the Under 16 Doubles, while Sharpe, our Fives captain, and Langley reached the final of the Open Doubles.

The House has been well represented in various School teams. Dinham, Langley, Emberson, Poletti, Carne-Ross and Houslop, the captain of the Under 14 XI, have all played School football, while Richardson and Ryalls have represented the School at cross-country. Langley, Sharpe and Houslop have played Fives for the School; Warren and Mahoney have fenced; and D . J . Smith, Messett, Phipps, Langley, Mead and Houslop have competed in School athletics teams. We congratulate Richardson on the award of quarter colours for running and Houslop on gaining colts' colours for football.

Roper' s traditional prominence in School dramatics has been main­tained with a sizeable contribution to this term's play. Petron, Fitchett, Gandolfi, Jenkins, Mead, Watts, Steele, Warren and Burnett all took parts in "Romeo and Juliet" while Barnes, as call-boy, Chappell, prompter, and ]. Perry, providing sound effects, helped backstage.

We congratulate A. J . Sharpe on gaining admission to Nottingham University and R. R. Mahoney on being awarded a place at the National College of Food Technology. P. Chappell is to be congratulated on his appointment as a House Prefect. We look forward to a successful Trinity tenn with swimming, cricket, and the conclusion of the fencing and tennis tournaments.

SPURGEON'S Housemaster: Mr. W. M. S. Boyd

House Captain : D. I. Tolley

Former Housemasters: Mr. J. E. Spurgeon

Mr. L. C. Kingswell Sir John Maitland, Bart.

Mr. G. E. Dodd Mr. G. R. Charnley

The beginning of the tenn saw the highlight of the Inter-House foot­ball season with the cup matches. The Seniors could only manage to give Tulley's, the eventual winners, a hard-fought match in the first round. However, the Juniors, under the able leadership of P. B. Bruce defeated Tulley's, Brown's and Dutton's and won the trophy which h~d eluded them last season.

Soon after this the House was thrown into the rigours of the Steeple­chase Cups.. This time it was the senior r1:lnn.ers, under the leadership of D . R. Harnson, who set the example by wmnmg the senior race. Despite the rather disappointing performance of the Juniors, who came fourth, we won the Steeplechase Cup for the third year in succession.

With these successes behind us, we were a little disappointed when in the School Athletics Finals, we could only achieve fourth place,' despit: the fine efforts made by our team. However, they were soon to vindicate themselves witj"t a fine win in the Marathon Relay, and a very creditable second place in the Rappard Relay.

We welcome Mr. G. L. Cooksey as a House Tutor and wish him a long and happy stay with us. Our congratulations to Carter on his appointment as House Prefect, and G. T. Harper and G. E. Clements on their aw~rd of quarter colours for Cross-Country and Chess respectively. M. J. Day IS also to be congratulated on his recent appointment as School Shooting Captain. Finally, we should like to congratulate M. Cook our only le aver this tenn, on winning a Waugh Open Scholarship to Exeter College, Oxford. We wish him every success there.

TULLEY'S Housemaster: Mr. R . H. D . Young

Former Housemasters: Mr. S. J. Tulley

Mr. J . V. H. Coates Sir Rodney Pasley, Bart.

House Captain: C. H. Wilson Mr. S. R. Hudson Although not outstandingly successful this term, the House gained one

of the major trophies by convincingly winning the Senior Football Cup, beating Tyson's 5-1 in the final. With several School players dominating the defence, Hammond, the captain, was able to strengthen the attack and score vital goals. Hammond is also to be congratulated on being selected for the Public Schools XI, and Oliver on being awarded 1st XI colours. Other School players were Lyon, White, Brown and Howell.

Owing to many unexpected fine performances, we came third in the Steeplechase Cup, Oliver being second in the Senior Race. Oliver and Knight also ran for the School. Knight was awarded a junior crest.

Unfortunately, we were unable to maintain similar form in the Athletics, coming eighth as last year, though the number of points gained was greater than that by any House in this position previously.

The results in Fives, this term, were most encouraging. Wilson, Hammond, Ratcliff, Carless and Gardner all represented the School, Gardner reaching the final of the School U.15 singles.

D . J . Thomas is to be congratulated on his appointment as School Prefect, and D. J. Batts on being made a House Prefect.

Finally, we say goodbye to our House Captain, Wilson, who is going to Durham University, Inwood who has won an Open Scholarship to Oxford, and to Johnson. We wish them every success in the future.

TYSON'S Housemaster: Mr. J. Logan

Former Housemasters: Mr. C. G. F. Tyson

Mr. J. A. Taylor House Captain: P. R. Wright Mr. E. F. Le Feuvre

The House has achieved some success this term in football, athletics and fives. Although possibly not among the best of the House football teams, the Senior Cup team managed to reach the final, only then to be beaten by Tulley's, and this achievement was mainly due to fine team effort and some good support. P. R. Wright, R. G. Whitten and A. H. Ott are to be congratulated for playing for the School 1st XI.

In the Steeplechases, both P . E. Wright and Humphreys must be congratulated on their fine running. The former came third in the Senior Steeplechase, while Humphreys came in first in the Junior's. Although we finished in the lowly position of seventh in the athletics, the House showed what it can do by easily coming second in the Marathon Relay Final-a fine effort. We congratulate P. E. Wright, Elia and Humphreys for representing the School.

P. R. Wright and R. D . Maclaren played for the 1st IV and 2nd IV fives teams respectively, and Wright won the Open Singles.

The House was well represented by Chess players, with J. R. Wood, the School chess captain, being awarded half colours, and Pittuck quarter colours. Our congratulations to both. The House Chess team finished second in the league.

Congratulations must also go to M. F. Symonds and N. Eden-Green for being made House Prefects. Finally, sincere thanks must be paid to D. B. Fleming, who has been House Captain since September, 1960. Fleming has done a great deal for Tyson's, and it can be safely said that the House has flourished while he was in command. We wish him every success in the future.

EDWARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE

ROMEO AND JULlET "And Fame, to late Posterity, shall tell,

No L overs liv'd so g)'eat, or dy'd so well."

757

When the great bell tolled at the end of "Romeo and Juliet," its note falling with regularity between the well-modulated lines of Escalus, the audience was not anxious to move and lose this final experience of a world in which evil had brought about a greater good, a world in which life was n,?t merely to be continued but was regenerated through love that had tnumphed over death and, by implication, time. It is extremely pleasant now to recall through time that the main feature of last term's play was the completeness of the experience presented us by the producer, Mr. Raeburn.

In general, that completeness was helped by the all-round adequacy of the acting but, in particular, by the boldness of casting the diminutive S . J. Hughes as Juliet, for not only did Hughes appeal through pathos and c~ndour but this Juliet, small, pale-faced, dark and clearly spoken, underlmed both the prematurity of her love and the lovers' forthright r~sponse to demands thrust upon them ahead of the ordinary processes of tl~e. . As Rom~o, C. J. Emsley was chaste, ethereal and determined, spoke hiS hnes beautifully and transformed the words in the same measure that love transmuted the hate of Montague and Capulet. He moved well in a perf0rn;tance that grew and showed him to be capable of major roles.

With these wise but unformed children, Shakespeare contrasts char~cters of age. witho.ut. maturity and R. D . Lister as Capulet deserves spe~tal praise for provldmg a memorable and rare experience in school actmg, that of a mature man convincingly played. He was delightful to w~tch and a dreadful. warning to every father. Unfortunately, that tyrant, Tune, prevents mentIOn of everybody else but S. H . McCarthy's Friar Laurence was benign, if misguided, goodliness itself. B. McClellan's Mercutio was lively and amiable, and D. J . Gandolfi, as the Nurse who is ready to sacrifice propriety to convenience, was notable for his new sense of control and sensitivity to mood: he really held the audience without the play suffering. Of .the rest, let it be said that this was as complete a performance as any m recent years and that the various elements combined in a tragic experience that would suffer from over-analysis or from being cut out in little stars.

A. E. AS TON.

A PROFESSIONAL ACTRESS WRITES:

It was with great pleasure that I accepted an invitation to attend another Shakespeare production at Alleyn's. I confess, though, that I had. some doubts when I knew that it was to be "Romeo and Juliiet "­a difficult play to perform. Had they a Romeo and a Juliet? Would not another of the Histories have been easier to produce with an all-boy cast? These were my thoughts as I drove down to Dulwich.

The moment the non-existent "curtain" was up I knew that some at leas.t, o~ my dou.bts were dispelled. The cleverly'designed permanent set, With ItS charmmg back-cloth struck exactly the right note and I could see at once that many production difficulties were to be ~moothlY overcome. The play moved forward swiftly, maintaining a beautiful rhythm throughout the action. My congratulations to all those backstage whose hard work makes .this possible, and also to the cast as a whole. Their teamwork was quite excellent, and it is hard to pick out individual performances. .

~ne facet of this tragedy came over to me as, I think, never before. Tha~ IS the utter help.lessness of the "star-crossed lovers," victims indeed of Circumstance, I thlllk the reason why I felt this sO strongly was the

. 758 EDW ARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE

complete sincerity and simplicity of the playing of Romeo and Juliet by Emsley and Hughes. With no hint of sophistication, they enhanced the tragedy by their beautiful speaking of Shakespeare's words.

I also liked McCarthy's Friar Laurence; he acted with a dignity and quiet repose which was most moving. Lister and Enters brought humour and real feeling to their performances as Capulet and his Lady. In the difficult part of the Nurse, Gandolfi was outstanding-garrulous, humorous, with a warmth of personality which made her very human.

But it is to David Raeburn that I must give my warmest congratula­tions. Alleyn's School is very lucky to have a producer who is so skilled in his art. His love and understanding of Shakespeare showed itself throughout the play. The entrance of each scene was beautifully observed. It is obvious that he has the ideas, but he has also that rare gift of getting his actors to translate them into reality.

So to him, his cast and all his assistants my congratulations and thanks for a memorable evening with Shakespeare.

EASTER TRIP TO SWITZERLAND, 1962 In a state of confused anticipation, brought about by a twenty-four

hour journey, we reached our destination-Les Marecoltes. This small village is lost in the Valais in the south-west of Switzerland. Perhaps the first difference we noticed was the stillness and tranquillity disturbed only by the casual drip <; f snow melting and distant bells.

We were one of a number of school parties and rapidly the pure Swiss air was filled with the sounds of varying tongues.

On the Sunday we set Ol:lt in small groups to probe the countryside. Stark granite peaks contrasted with soft Christmas trees, and soon it was discovered that the weather was as changeable as the scenery. From the sunny vines of low-lying Martigny, a town four kilometres from Les Marecottes, we could see distant mists encircling the vague peaks of La Creusaz; overhead a rain-cloud was gathering; and on turning a sharp bend, we were struck by a blast of icy wind. This was Switzerland.

Of the thirteen days spent there, two whole-day coach outings gave the party well-needed relaxation, and the opportunity to survey the scenery in the comfort of a Metral coach.

We visited Verbier, a ski-ing resort which has sprung up during the last ten years, and went on to Bourg-St.-Pierre, a high village set in a pine forest and full of historical interest. Unfortunately we could not reach the Grand St. Bernard because avalanches had completely blocked the road.

The second excursion provided an interesting cross-section of Switzer­land outside the Valais. Fribourg, Berne and Montreux were the main stopping places, and en l'oute the German-speaking area was viewed critically. We arrived back at the hotel at 7 o'clock after an enjoyable and profitable day.

Most members of the party at sometime or another gained an insight into the fears and hazards of the mountaineer. After the initial shock of finding that lower peaks could be reached, attempts became more ambitious and successful. Inevitably, on account of the changes in altitude and tem­perature, there were many aches and pains, but these were adequately dealt with by the persuasive remedies of Mrs. Crewe, while Mr. Parsons kept spirits high by his sense of humour.

Table tennis was the main sport at the hotel and most of us were soundly beaten by the high-powered play of Mr. Courtenay.

Throughout the day, cameras clicked, and the long evenings drifted away in .. Le Chaperon Rouge" and "La Clair de Lune," where local

EDW ARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE 159

wines were tasted to the background of cosmopolitan but, nevertheless, appropriate melodies. Two visits confirmed the universality of Alleyn's. On the first Monday we were visited by a former master of the School Mr: T. B. O'Hara, with his wife and family, who now live at Aigle. Hi; arnval was fortunate, for he assisted Mr. Crewe to rescue five of us who were strand7d in a pine forest. The following Saturday, Bob Schilling, A.O.B., arnved from Geneva to spend a day with us but both he and ~r. Crewe .did the disappearing trick to carve a route'to the snowbound VIllage of Fmhaut. Saturday night was a gay night in Les Marecottes and Bob's company gave us much pleasure. He left us at midday on Sunday to return to G7neva where he is working.

In COl!-cl?SIOn, I.t may be said that every individual was a hero of some descnptlOn dunng the stay, and the sense of achievement gained no m~tter how sn:all, inspired the party to seek a final message from' the heIghts of SWItzerland on Thursday, April 19th. Weary but contented we. then tr?dged to the .station in the midday sun, leaving behind us ~ delIghtful VIllage w~ose stIllness not even our raucous voices could penetrate. " M0r;,treux, Spelz ~nd B.ern.e passed by o~ our rapid journey, and soon

Mos7s complete WIth skI-stIck had led hIS twenty children safely back to theIr surburban play-pen.

On behalf of us all, thank you Mr. and Mrs. Crewe for a wonderful holiday.

GERMANY AND AUSTRIA, EASTER, 1962 qn this ye~r's trip we visited Nuremberg, Augsburg, Kempten,

Garmlsch-Parte':llmchen, and Gortipohl in Austria. . After a faIrly rough sea crossing and an overnight train journey we

arnved at ?ur first place of stay, Nuremberg-which is the principal city of Francoma.

. While in Nuremberg, ~here we stayed three nights, we visited the Sa1!lt Lawr~nce Church-bUIlt at the time of the High Gothic Period­~h.lch contamed many carvings by Veit Stoss and Adam Kraft. We also VISIted the house of Albrecht Durer, one of Germany's famous painters. The house had been damaged by a bomb during the war but now fortunately, had been restored. At Nuremberg we also visited the CastI~ and the Travel Museum a?d we saw an unusual 3-D film of the Flying Hamburger, an express tram. . A~ Augsburg we stayed two nights and visited the cathedral, which IS partIcularly noted for the fact that it has an altar at both ends and the Fuggerei, al~s-houses established by the Fuggers, some extremely rich merchants, at whIch the tenants p~y five marks (9s. 4d.) a year rent.

Our ~e~t stay was .for three mghts at Kempten--capital of the Allgiiu. Her~ we VISIted. the mam ~atholic Church, and we also took a walk to the !viana~erg, a hIlI from whIch many fine views of the surrounding country, mcluding the Alps, were .seen .. The country around Kempten is mainly pastureland an.d Kempten Itself IS one of the oldest towns in Germany and was a Free CIty from 1289 to 1802.

Th~ trip to Garmisch-Pa~enkirchen took us through much picturesque c?untryslde across the. Austnan frontier and back. We stayed here five n~ghts and ma~e ~o Journeys from here. One was to the Zugspitze the hIghest mountam m Germany (~,72~ feet). The weather was very 'good and we saw the peaks of mountams m. qermany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. We went ~p by a rack and pmlOn railway on the German side After a ty.'enty-mm';1te walk throu.gh a tunnel we boarded a cabin car and were carned down mto Ehrwald m Austria.

760 EDW ARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE

The other trip was to Mittenwald, where we visited the violin work­shop and the Kranzberg, a hill from which marvellous views were seen. In Garmisch we visited the Olympic ski-stadium and had a trip on a chair­lift imd then walked back over the Partnachklamm-a gorge-which, unfortunately, was closed because of melting ice.

We then .travelled via the Inn valley, with a three-hour stop in Innsbruck, to Gortipohl in the Montafon valley in Vorarlberg, Austria. Here we stayed four nights, and most of the time was spent sunbathing as it was very hot. The more energetic made a trip to the two artificial reservoir lakes at Vermunt and Obervermunt in the "Blue Silvretta."

We arrived back in London rather tired after a very long journey, but very happy after a truly wonderful holiday.

On behalf of the other members of the party I should like to thank Mr. Goldner and Dr. Gascoigne for all the hard work they put in, which made the trip the wonderful success it was.

C.C.F. ARDUOUS TRAINING CAMPS DARTMOOR, APRIL 7TH-14TH

" For the min it railleth nearly every day." The Dartmoor camp officially started at midnight, April 6th/7th, when

the Advance Party left school by road under the direction of the C.O. and Captain Evans. The main party, under 2/ Lt. Rice, left Paddington at 10.30 the following morning and after a five-hour journey they were met at Plymouth by two vehicles and taken to the Base Camp at Cadover Bridge.

The next morning, after a miserable night, the cadets began to organise themselves and were soon billeted in a derelict bungalow kindly lent by Mr. E. Joste, on which we now based our movements.

The two sections were used in several reconnaissance patrols to make arrangements for Summer Camp. Amongst other jobs, the patrols were to find suitable camp sites, to decide the negotiability by lorries of certain roads and the possibilities of training schemes in the areas. In spite of driving rain, force nine gales, bellicose commandos, stomache upsets, attacks of curry and perforated gaskets, these things they succeeded in doing.

If the standards of hard work and enthusiasm is anything on which to base opinions, Summer Camp, 1962, will be a very successful week.

LAKE DISTRICT, APRIL 21ST-28TH " Up the airy mountain."

The sound of steady drizzle on tent canvas dampened spirits on the first night; but we were lucky; seven serene days followed. Leaving Lt. Smith and the junior section at Sandwick, where they explored the Martin­dale Fells and canoed the length and breadth of Ullswater, Captain Morton's section moved across country via Glencoyne and the snows of Helvellyn to Great Langdale, Captain Melior, Champ and Trailer following by road.

In the next two days, from a camp site shared with three other C.C.F.s and a variety of Bank Holiday-makers with multi-coloured tents and transistor radios, Pavey Ark and the Langdale Pikes, Crinkle Crags and Bowfell were climbed, in comparative solitude. Then, quitting Lang­dal.e, .. the mam party plodded Its weary way to Esk Hause and, with vIsIbIlity less than twenty yards, followed the cairns to Scafell Pike and stood for a few misty minutes on the Summit of England. Descending to

co

EDWARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE 761

SeatoIler, as the clouds lifted from Styhead Tarn and snow-capped Scafell, we travelled along Borrowdale and Derwent Water by bus, foot and boat, train, champ and car back to Main Base.

The last full day saw more canoeing, a hitch-hike into Scotland, and a camp-fire gathering graced by the C.O. and guests from further along the lake.

One variation occurred in the proposed plan: the unheralded appear­ance in the Langdale Camp at reveille on Thursday of two sets of paddles, a life-jacket and a Station Radio No. 88 (complete-almost), having come from the Base Camp some twenty-five miles away; inexplicably, for no "Night Patrol" appeared in the programme.

Several sites were found which will be useful for future C.C.F. camps in this area and " 'ard training" left all fitter, and some sorry to leave the Lakes.

TO TIlE MOON AS A SYMBOL OF CHASTITY Pale goddess of the night, sweet maiden,

Embodiment of mystery and calm, With treasure hordes of earth's proud trophies laden,

The 'hearer, deaf, of many a still-born psalm, What prompts in you that understanding smile,

That eternal look, which means you transcend knowledge, That maternal look, which purports for a while

You have seen all before, so great your age? But wait! Does blood rush to your virgin cheeks?

Do you recoil, abashed, behind your veil? Is it now the long-enduring beauty seeks

The means to check pursuit of eager male? Through enforced study and cold schemes

You are no longer merely of his dreams. R. MORRIS.

TO ONE WHO WAS NOT IMPRESSED If I could give a name to you, then you would fade within the Files of Face on Face. Many faded metaphors have come t? mind as easy labels for the ordinary man, but none SUIt you, that I may put you with the shades Quietly defiant you refuse analysis, . pretending not to notice that the charmer is the charmed. With non-committal note of evening blue your eyes politely bar the gaze of mine and tell me, 'I am aware of your existence; but I have not noted you.' Apathy for you, assumes dramatic dignity; I~partial as a sleeping deity you pass no judgment; TlIDeless as the changing, never ageing universe, you drain my words of

meaning. Withdrawn, eternal and resigned, you comprehend infinity, you are the universe. And, sadly though lawn it, you have no need of me.

Because I know not even you could be these things because I am acutely conscious of illusion ' I shall depart before the image leaves you. Then you will f~~l no 10ss1 and 1 shall keep your abstract sense.

MUSIC NOTES Director of Music: Mr. F. H . Kennard Secretary: W . A. Edwards

It should not take long for the stranger, entering the grounds on any Tuesday afternoon during term time, to deduce that Alleyn's is a musical school. From somewhere high up in the main building he will hear the majestic strains of a brass chorale wafted down with the less majestic efforts of a violin class at work. From elsewhere he will hear the con­trasting sound of a woodwind ensemble rehearsing, and all this inter-mingle.d with the tinkling (and jangling) of numerous pianos.

Certainly many people have been hard at work this term exploring the vast possibilities of practical music making. The orchestra has been hard at it, and no sooner was this term's concert over than preparations were begun for the next. Classical, romantic, and twentieth-century com­posers are represented in the coming Founder's Day concert, and so much of its success depends on you, our potential supporters.

Full details of forthcoming events are sent each term to those on our mailing list. If you would like your name added please write to the Secretary of Music.

On Saturday, March 3rd, a Concert of Chamber Music was given to a small audience in the Music Room. After a musical performance by N . Smith, D. Morris and S . Shippard of Mozart's Divertjmento in B fiat for wind, S. Elia and P. Witham played, with good intonation, a Trio­Sonata by Leclair. The string chamber orchestra gave commendable per­formances of two difficult works. They were perhaps a little over cautious in the Divertimento in D by Mozart. The Vivaldi Concerto for four violins was on the whole more relaxed and the soloists displayed their skill rhythmically.

There was a more encouraging number of supporters at the Orchestral Concert in the Great Hall on Saturday, March 10th. The evening com­menced with a performance of the Concerto for Two Violins by Bach. S. Elia and P. Witham gave a creditable performance backed by a sound string accompaniment. Mr. Kennard chose a slow tempo for the Eighth Symphony of Schubert which brought out good quality playing in all sections. Ensemble was mainly good but the development section was unrhythmical. B. R. Muller gave a musical performance of Weber's Clarinet Concertino and all sections had a good scrape, bang or blow. in the popular Overture and Gopak from Mussorgsky's opera" Sorochinski Fair."

THE "50" CLUB President: Rev. P. G. Medd Secretary: D . J. Thomas

The Lent term began in grand style when the Club welcomed two prominent figures from the common room, Mr. Goldner and Mr. Aston, to speak on the motion, "This House envies the Noble Savage." Mr. Goldner proposing, showed his dislike of motor-bicycles, juke-boxes, and other instruments of torture. Despite the stout proposition, Mr. Aston, opposing the motion, swayed the House with a comprehensive list of the things a savage has to do without, and the motion was lost by 14 votes to 19, with 4 abstentions.

In a more serious vein, at a later debate, the Club decided that capital punishment was wrong, and should be abolished, in spite of the arguments of Mr. I--d., who warned us against facts l which !Ire apparently stumbling blocks to ideas.

EDWARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE

In the last meeting of the present season the Club expressed its gratitude to Mr. Medd, without whose help we would not have had such a successful year. The meeting took the form of a series of six short debates. Defending the principle of the survival of the fattest, Mr. S--th put forward a very interesting theory of evolution, based on the inherent laziness of the portly. The House decided that to deplore the use of medicine, and to demand that nature be allowed to take her course, would be hypocritical, despite the efforts of the elder Mr. E--s, who regarded doctors as experimenters with a sadistic sense of humour.

Apathy remains the Club's main enemy, for, despite the fact that we have received more applications for membership than there are vacancies, a few members are attending very rarely. It is perhaps of interest to note, however, that the members of the school who have won university awards are all keen members of the Club, a clear indication of its intellectual standard.

MODERN LANGUAGE SOCIETY President: Mr. R. R. S. Barker Secretary: K. J ohnson

Of all the societies in the school, the Modem Language Society is the least insular. In fact it may be said with considerable truth that not even the Common Market can more ally us to our friends who are not fortunate enough to live on "this sceptred isle." As ambassadors of these foreign folk, we always endeavour to show them in their best light, leaving the barren wastes of Algeria for the more culturally fertile grounds of art and literature. One of our shepherds on this adventurous journey was Mr. McCloy, who gave two lectures on the extensive theme of Modem Art. Despite. the large number of artistic "isms" the speaker painted a picture (figuratively speakmg) of each with comprehensive brevity. We are indebted ~o Mr. McCloy for these talks which were of real, as opposed to surreal, mterest.

Once described as our cultural. ~ttache from the French Embassy, MadaITle Mattley IS now a regular . Visitor to the Society. This term she spoke m French about Alfred de Vlgny and Albert Camus authors which are being studied in the sixth form, and in spite of conflicting activities both lectures were reasonably well attended. We take this opportunity to thank he~ for these and many other. talks of no less quality.

. EqUIpped With t~pe-wfltten copies and the inevitable dictionary, the ~oclety plunged deep Into the waters of French vocabulary, diving for the literally c;:ultured. pearl of wisdom-an essay composed and read on tape by MonSieur Malllart, a fmmer master of the School. This is a brilliant study of " A day in Paris," brilliant for its sustained interest and richness of vocabulary.

SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY President: Mr. M. E. Denning

Chairman: M. J. Smith Secretary: S. A. Burnett

Once a~ain, the Society is pleased to be able to report a successful term. Exa~l1lnatio~s at the beginning of term and the play at the end meant that the tIme avaIlable for meetings was greatly curtailed, but such film shows as could be arranged were very successful.

We have made two excursions during the course of the term The first was to the International Nickel Co~pany (Mond) Limited. A party of twenty-two boys and three masters VISited the Company's Development

764 EDW ARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE

and Research Laboratories at Harlesden where they spent an interesting and informative afternoon. The second was made on March 29th to Twentieth Century Electronics Limited, at New Addington. The party was shown the manufacture of precision cathode ray tubes and Geiger and other radioactivity counters-both of which are such specialised indus­tries that mass production is not possible, and we were able to see the delicate operations involved being performed manually.

One outstanding occasion in the Society's programme was that of the lecture by Dr. W. M. McDonough of the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine. Dr. McDonough spoke on "Genes-or who do you take after?" and told us of the researches made into the mechanism of heredity since Mendel's first discovery in the field. He described particularly the very recent advances which have led biochemists to believe that a code which determines hereditary characteristics is contained in the structure of nucleic acid and which has enabled them to start the task of interpreting this code. At the end of the lecture many questions were forthcoming-a clear indication of the interest aroused in the audience.

Trinity term is not one in which the societies are usually able to flourish, but we hope to arrange a few visits. The activities of the Society now seem to be causing wider interest, perhaps as a consequence of the opening of the new science block and the extension of science teaching to all " 0" level curricula.

GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY

President: Mr. P. C. Phillips Secretary: R. L. Harris

Owing to the Post Office's "Go-slow," and subsequent lack of parcel post we were unable to hold our regular Wednesday evening film shows during the first half of term. Because of this, and the intensive athletics programme only four meetings were held, the first three of these being film shows, and the last an illustrated lecture entitled "Durham City and County" given by Mr. Brock to whom we are most grateful. Despite the allure of House relay practices a reasonable audience attended.

On Tuesday, March 6th, a small party, mostly sixth-formers, visited the Ordnance Survey Offices at Chirrington. Here we were shown the Museum and the various methods employed, past and present, were explained to us. Everybody found the trip interesting and one or two members suggested that we try some surveying at School.

The evening meetings next term will be discontinued owing to cricket and other activities. It is hoped that some afternoon visits and day-outings will be arranged though no definite plans have been made as yet.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY

There were three expeditions in the Lent term and we got our fair share of rain. In January we were all drenched in an unsuccessful search for siskins at Virginia Water. In March we explored the heights and depths of Seaford Head and Cuckmere River, Sussex, and on the last Sunday of term we walked from High Halstow to All Hallows in the North Kent marshes, to be rewarded with the sight of a first wheatear, and of over 200 golden plover-many in breeding plumage. A late spring meant that we had a day of flocks of fieldfares and redwings, rather than warblers or swallows. Since then two of our members have gained valuable experience on Bardsey Island off the coast of Carnarvonshire.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY President: Mr. D . 1. Clayre Secretary: M. J. A. Golding

On Thursday, February 1st, the Society visited the Kodak Photo­graphic Works at Harrow. This proved most interesting and instructive, as it covered the whole field of modern photographic development. The visit was concluded with a film show and tea in the visitors' centre.

With the proceeds of the response to the Enlarger Fund Appeal the Society purchased a new enlarger particularly suitable for 35 mm. enthusiasts. However, more interesting than the equipment is what we do with it and our work was highlighted at the Colour Slide Competition, held in conjunction with Norwood and Dulwich Camera Club. The meeting was held at Kingswood House, on Tuesday, March 13th. The total attendance was over ninety, which was encouraging, and makes us look on the Competition as one of the most successful fixtures in the Society's history. Not unexpectedly, we lost. The final scores were: N.D.C.C. 142, A.S.P.S. 99. As the Camera Club has been competing in this way for 33 years, and our Society never before, the difference of 43 is forgivable. Nevertheless, we hope for better results in our next competition, which has been arranged with the Bec Camera Club. Perhaps those who produced such excellent slides in the last one (notably J. Graham) will do even better in the future.

This term's programme was interesting for two other items apart from the competition. These were a lecture entitled "Flash Photography," arranged by Johnsons, and a Treasure Hunt Competition. Those who took part in the latter, which took place in London, were given clues and had to find appropriate subjects to photograph. Some results were most amusing, but, at any rate, all members were given good opportunities for demonstrating their skill and ingenuity.

C.E.W.C. President: Mr. A. S. Jenkins Secretary: S. A. Burnett

With examinations in the first half of this term and athletics in the second, we have only held one meeting. This was on Wednesday, March 14th, when Miss M. D. Yardley, Headmistress of Sydenham High School, spoke on her recent visit to Egypt and illustrated the lecture with some of her slides. She told us a great deal about Egypt's current affairs, and also about the country's past with slides of the pyramids and some of the temples soon to be flooded by the erection of the new Russian dam. All those attending the lecture enjoyed a most interesting evening.

ELECTRONICS SOCIETY President: Mr. M. E. Denning Secretary: D. W. Halford

The Electronics Laboratory, formerly the Advanced Physics Labora­tory, in the old science block, came into full use shortly after the beginning of the term. We are most grateful to A. K. Bryan for his valuable work in connection with this.

The Society has started to hold film shows. At first these were purely about Electronics, but the last show of the term included the award­winning Shell film " Coupe des Alpes" to which all members of the School were invited, it was a great success. Fortnightly shows are planned for the Summer term, again with films of general interest in addition to films about electronics.

Some sixth-form members attended a visit to the B.B.C. television transmitter at Crystal Palace. The visit included a demonstration of colour television and an unrehearsed demonstration of what happens when some­thing goes wrong! It was a most interesting visit, and enjoyed by all. The Society hopes to make more excursions in the near future.

766 EDWARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE

mSTORY SOCIETY President: Mr. R. H. D. Young Secretary: A. J. Sharp

The Lent term expeditions were to St. Albans, the Royal Mint and the Wren Churches in the City. A trip to Winchester arranged for half­term was unfortunately snowed off. We must thank Mr. Perry f~r arranging a conducted tour of St. Albans Cathedral, where ~e .dean s verger gave us interesting details of the rediscovery of the shnne m the walls of the Lady Chapel. The enormous Norman nav~ constructed. fr?m many thousands of Verulamian Roman bricks, the medIeval wall-pamtmg and the restored colouring of the inside of the central tower were most impressive. Before the clock forced us to leave St. Albans we sn~tched time to glance at the Roman theatre and at a newly excavated shnne of Mithras. We must also thank Mr. Medd for driving us back through London's rush hour traffic.

The visit to the Royal Mint was well attended and we had to be split into three parties before we were shown around at twenty-minute intervals. The reason for this was soon apparent since the roar of the magnificent machinery all but drowned the voices of our several guides. Some members of the party were surprised to learn that the Royal Mint doe.s not ~oin money for this country alone, but for some dozen or more foreIgn natlOns as well as for some countries in the Commonwealth. Several of the party then climbed the three hundred steps of the Monument and had a panoramic view of the City. Next term a full programme will include Knole Park and perhaps Cambridge.

THE REFEREES' CLUB

President: Mr. J. G. Adams Secretary: T . N. Evans

On the practical side the Lent term provided the Club with the responsibility of providing linesmen for the Football Cup matches. Un­fortunately not all members realised the value of having this opportunity to study the techniques of the cup referees.

The Club again conducted its written examination, the following obtained first class passes and deserve congratulations: Andrews; Potter, D.; Skingsley; Anderton; Greatrex; Potter, M.; Smith, L.; Watson; Wailer.

Congratulations to Henderson whose perseverance has led, eventually, to this success. His example could be followed by some of the less keen members of the Club. Other members who failed to obtain a first-class pass are at liberty to attempt the examination again if they feel they know the laws really well.

An unfortunate mistake led to the omission in last term's magazine of an acknowledgment of the valuable and very hard work put into the Club by I. A. Bishop, who was Secretary for the 1960-61 season. Our apologies for this error, but we hope that it does not detract from our appreciation of his services.

LmRARY Master: Dr. E. L. Giles Senior Librarian: R. R. Mahoney

A review of the past term gives an encouraging picture of the work and achievement of the Library. The outstanding event was th,e visit of

EDW ARD' ALLBYN MAGAZINE 767

Mr. J. Teague, Chief Librarian of Chelsea College of Technology, who spoke for an hour to over thirty of. our assis~ants on ~e. hist~ry of bO?ks and the various systems of classlficatlOn and lIbrary admmlstratlOn. Durmg the course of his address Mr. Teague referred to microfilms and modem methods of conserving space in some of our leading libraries: for example, a magazine or periodical of some 40 pages could be reduced to postcard size, and filed. The talk was illustrated, and Mr. Teague answered several questions from a keen and interested audience.

During this term some 400 books were borrowed, over 60 new books were added to the library, and, under the direction of M. W. French and M. F. Symonds, first-aid repairs were given to 1,300 books. The re­classification and cataloguing of the History section according to the revised Cheltenham system was completed. In order to effect this, J. O'Rorke, P. W. D. H. Roberts, P. R. Warren and M. J. Golding typed several hundred cards during the Easter holidays; by their giving generously of their time in this way, the reorganisation of this important section of the catalogue was completed with a minimum of inconvenience and delay.

Much of the enthusiasm of the library assistants and the smooth running of. the library are due to the keen leadership shown by R. R. Mahoney, who has been senior librarian since September, 1960. As he has been offered a place at the National College of Food Technology, Wey­bridge, next term, he will leave with our very good wishes and a hope that his experience and ability as librarian will find scope in his new career.

FOOTBALL NOTES FIRST XI

Master in charge: Mr. J. G. Adams Captain: B. J. Hammond

Several changes were made to improve the forward line in the Lent term and we are pleased to report that the team began to score goals again and several matches were won against good club opposition. The whole side seemed to be moving better than last term with Oliver and Ott making a forceful left-wing pair and taking full advantage of P. Wright's passes. At wing-half, Allen and Whitten were introduced and soon started to prompt and encourage their forwards with constructive, thoughtful passes -something that had been missing before.

We offer our congratulations to Hammond and Hennessy who were selected to represent the Public Schools XI v. London Schools.

The soccer officials for next season are J. Alien (Captain) and R. Whitten (Secretary).

The team: Sawyer; Lyon, Hammond; Alien, Hennessy, Whitten; Clarke, Wright, Henderson, Oliver, Ott.

Colours were awarded to: R. Davies (Advent term), T. Sawyer, J. Allen, C. J. Henderson, M. J. Oliver.

EDW ARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE 769

This term marked a definite renaissance in the School Fives Club, proved by the difficulties experienced in selecting the junior teams. The master in charge claimed that this year's 1st IV was the best he had seen in his period in charge of the Fives. Perhaps once again, Alleyn's School may be the name before which all schools quail. Although the proportion of matches won to those lost does not look too favourable, the general standard of play has gone up.

Although winning only three out of nine matches, the 1st IV had a good season. In only two of the matches was the margin great, and this may be attributed to the IV's inability to adapt themselves to the opponents' court conditions. The 1st IV's excursions to Oundle and Bedford were both most enjoyable, as was the match against the Old Boys, where, opposed as usual by a high degree of cunning and craft, we put up a very adequate performance. With our victory against London University the Secretary and M. E. Derrick were awarded colours, and in the match against the RF.A., J. M. Alien distinguished himself by winning his singles 15-0, thereby winning his colours. Against Bedford Modern School we had amassed enough points to be sure of victory, when our opponents' number 2 was struck down by an unstaunchable nose-bleed and one set of doubles was reluctantly left unfinished.

The 2nd IV too suffered from injured opponents. The Bedford Modern number 2 hurt a foot, and was replaced by a substitute from the Junior Colts, who played far too well. Our 2nd IV consequently lost by 7 points. The IV was not a settled one throughout the season, but R D. MacLaren must be congratulated on a highly successful season in his singles.

The 3rd IV recorded a narrow victory over Whitgift, while a Representative IV (P. Ratcliff, P . G. Fox, B. W. Langley, P. A. Brown) beat Rutlish School soundly.

Pointswise the Senior Colts were the School's most successful team. They lost two of their matches only narrowly, and gave Bedford Modern Senior Colts a sound beating at Bedford, where I. B. Smith also did well to win his singles 15-0.

The Junior Colts put up a very promising display against Whitgift, but against Bedford Modern were considerably weakened by the loss of their number 2, who inopportunely fell down some stairs shortly before the game. The Under 14 IV also played with great promise against Whitgift, winning by a large margin.

Perhaps the most notable game played was early in the season, when the RF.A. arrived unexpectedly in the afternoon, owing to the Post Office "q.o-Slow." A scratch team of Mr. B. Banson, B. W . Langley, J. M . P~IPPS and the Secretary put up a brave fight against a strong opposition, gomg down by less than 30 points.

Reluctantly we say goodbye to several school players this term notable among them P. R Wright, our captain and number 1 for the past three years. We thank him for his services to the Club, and hope to see him back in the future playing for the A.O.B.s.

770 EDWARD ALLEYN. MAGAZINE

M. E. DERRICK. Unfortunately, his value to the IV is principally as a doubles player, although he has occasionally met with success in his singles. Like most left, handers he finds practice down the right, hand wall both necessary and hard to come by, in singles especially. With J. M. Alien he has developed a good understanding in the second pair.

J. M. ALLBN. A promising player in his first year in the IV. Although possessed 01 a strong right arm, he seems to prefer the scooped half-court shot. His left hand has suffered as a result of playing too many match doubles with a left,hander.

B. W. LANGLBY. He is still a Colt, but he has played an occasional game in the lot IV. Although strong, he is sometimes too impetuous and his attempts at guile are all too often "telegraphed." Nevertheless, he should have a most successful first full season next year.

Captain: R. K. Dollimore Secretary: D. J. J. Rowlands

The longest winter in memory made no concessions and the biting air on the terrace can be estimated from the performances, few of which were up to standard, but on Sports' Day T. J. Andrews managed to break Burton's Class III 880 yds. record of 2 mins. 20.6 secs. in 1956, with a new time of 2 mins. 20.4 secs. Three athletes won three events each: R. K. Dollimore of Class I, D. Hope of Class 11 and T. J. Andrews of Class Ill. Inter-House competition was keen and it was not clear until the last event that Raper's had won, for the first time since 1920.

This match was as closely fought as ever. The afternoon was clear but cold, with a strong breeze. The Juniors are to be congratulated on their victory; there seems to be much rising talent. Of the Senior Team the Captain and Secretary were outstanding: Dollimore's winning last leg in the Senior Relay was superb. Rowlands threw the men's (I lb. 12t oz .) javelin a new record distance of ISO ft . 9 in. It was no mean throw and was not fan short of a Senior A.A.A. Grade 3 standard. The keen competition is underlined by the six meeting records achieved: Senior Shot, Mile, Quarter Mile, Javelin and Junior Shot and Relay (4 x 176 yards) . Hatcher, the Brentwood Captain, ran a delightful Mile race.

The match was to have been staged at Emanuel, where the grass was so water­logged that it was decided to compete at Alleyn's on cinder and it is a credit to· the ground-staff that we were able to do so. The conditions were most unfavourable, with wind and rain . Alien, Langley and the Captain did well and Pollinger was out­standing for the Juniors but we were careless in some departments and lost vital points. Emanuel were unfortunate to be without Reid, the holder of the National Junior Long Jump Record at 23 ft. 5 in., and are to be congratulated on winning without his help.

LONDON ATHLETIC CLUB SCHOOLS CHALLENGE CUPS MEETING, 1962

At the White City, April 27th and 28th

773

R. K. Dollimore won the Senior Half-Mile in a time of 1 min. 56.2 secs., a time that has only been twice bettered since the competition began in 1897: R. J. Izon, the record-holder, of Handsworth G.S., Bir­mingham, to whom Dollimore was second (1.56.7) last year, returned 1 min. 55.6 secs. and R. D. Hall, of Bradford, who now competes for Oxford, produced 1 min. 56.1 secs. in 1958. In the heats, Dollimore was content to qualify, three-tenths of a second behind P. J. Beacham, of St. David's College, Bristol, who led the fastest heat of the day in 1 min. 58 secs. The final was run in cool conditions. At the one-lap stage Dollimore lay sixth in 60.2 secs.; he moved out down the back-straight and took the lead about a furlong from home, winning; by a clear second from Beacham, who had a second on King of Exeter (third last year). In his report on the meeting, Christopher Chataway commented on Dollimore's "race that suggests an impressive potential which he will have the chance to develop at Cambridge in a year's time." A small Alleyn's contingent witnessed this magnificent achievement, only equalled in the history of School athletics by T. L. Higgins (440 yards 1946) and R. H. Waller (Long Jump 1946).

CROSS-COUNTRY Master: Mr. A. E . Aston

Captain: R . K. Dollimore Secretary: D. R. Harrison

The term started well with Oliver (second in 25 mins. 3 secs.) leading the team to victory over Trinity at Croydon on January 13th. School supporters over the four miles were Wright third in 25 mins. 6 secs., Harrison fourth in 25 mins. 10 secs., Roberts fifth in 25 mins. 20' secs., Harris ninth in 25 mins. 45 secs. and B. R. Dollimore eleventh in 26 mins. 10 secs. It was a good effort on behalf of the Eight to beat the same Trinity team that won last year. 1962 scores were: Trinity 44, Alleyn's 34.

On January 13th R. K. Dollimore competed over five miles as a first year junior in the Surrey Junior Championships at Warlingham, which is in Surrey Beagles country. He finished 15th out of 62 and won a second team medal. This was a promising performance, considering that juniors are aged from 18 to 21. On February 17th the Southern Championships were held at Caversham Park, Reading. In the junior section over 6 miles R. K. Dollimore was 118th in a field of over 200 and in the youths' section over 3 miles B. R. Dollimore was 204th. On March 10th R. K. Dollimore ran in the National Junior Championships at Blackpool and finished 139th of 600 starters. The 6-mile race was won by M. R. Heath of Cambridge.

At P'etersham on February 3rd the first VI came 12th out of 26 schools in the Ranelagh Harriers' Cup. The individual placings were: Dollimore 15th in 19 mins. 40 secs., Wright 54th 20 mins. 49 secs., Harrison 60th 20 mins. 54 secs., Harris 84th 21 mins. 32 secs. and Cannon 104th 22 mins. 8 secs. The team winners were Bishopshalt and the individual Burton of Sutton.

On February 10th a new fixture was held between Alleyn's and City of London School, at Grove Park. Unfortunately, Harrison and Roberts lost their way and the seniors lost heavily to strong opposition. The scores were 20-46 and, although Dollimore won in the good time of 16 mins. 3 secs., our next scorer was Richardson (9th). The juniors lost 31--49. T. J. Andrews was 2nd, beating his more experienced brother in the City

774 EDW ARb ALLEyN MAGAZINE

of London team. He was supported by Lyon (5th), Adams (8th) and Killala (9th).

On February 24th a training run for 5 seniors and 5 juniors was held from the Kingston Gate of Richmond Park.

On March 3rd at Eltham College we took part in a triangular match with Emanuel School. Dollimore's winning time equalled Weywell's course record set up versus Alleyn's last year. Oliver was 5th (19 mins. 21 secs.) and Wright 11th (20 mins. 28 secs.) but we lost the match : Eltham 48, Emanuel 59, AIJeyn's 67 . We fared slightly better in the 2nd VIII's match with Kahn 2nd (20 mins. 36 secs .), Sheppey 6th (2 1 mins. 17 secs.) and Carter 10th (2 1 mins. 53 secs.) but still just lost: Eltham 44, Emanuel 61, and Alleyn's 66. In the under 15 section, however, we won and retained our unbeaten series against Eltham. The race was led home by T. J. Andrews in 15 mins. 15 secs., an excellent time, and he was well backed up by Bateman 4th (15 mins. 32 secs.), Humphreys 6th (15 mins. 36 secs.), Chap man 7th (15 mins. 42 secs.) and Killala 9th (15 mins. 58 secs.). The scores were 38-40.

The sixth year of the Running League ended with Spurgeon's winning for the third consecutive season. Spurgeon's won both Senior and Junior Leagues, gaining a maximum score in the Senior League but losing one race in the Junior League to Brading's, who were second in both leagues and ran hard. House placings, 1962: 1st s 79 pts.; 2nd b 66 pts.; 3rd tn 46 pts.; 4th d 45 pts.; 5th equal bn, c 43 pts.; 7th equal r, t 36 pts.

We are grateful to Inwood for maintaining the classical tradition of scoring.

The Steeplechases took place on March 1st and R. K. Dollimore's winning time in the Senior event was a course record of 15 mins. 10 secs., beating his own 1961 time by one second. The first runners were: Dollimore (bn), Oliver (t), Wright (tn), Roberts (d), Harrison (s) and Richardson (r). The junior race was led home by Humphreys (to), Andrews (b), Chapman (s), Owles (d), Cheeseman (b) and Killala (to) .

Senior Steeplechase: S, 70 pts. (1st); T 97 pts. (2nd); D 141 pts. (3rd). Junior Steeplechase: B, 93 pts. (1st); S, 105 pts. (2nd); D, 119 pts .•

(3rd). . Steeplechase Cup : 1st Spurgeon's (third consecutive year) 16 pts.;

2nd Tyson's 8 pts.; 3rd Tulley's 6 pts.; 4th Dutton's 5 pts. Cross-Country

Half Colours awarded: P . W. D. H. Roberts (d). Quarter Colours awarded: R. L. Harris (s), M. D. E. Khan (b),

P . A. Cannon (d), B. R. Dollimore (bn), G. J. Harper (s), R. Richardson (r).

Junior Crests: J . F . Knight (t), S. J. Hughes (d), M. C. Adams (d) . This year we are losing several talented and devoted runners. We are

losing R. K . Dollimore, who has been Captain for the last two years and whose running has always been of a very high standard indeed. He represented the School in the 1st VIII for four years and in the Junior VIII for two years previously. He won three Senior Steeplechases and two Junior Steeplechases, including two record performances, and in School matches led the teams home on many occasions, sometimes in course-record times. He inspired his teams mainly by example and it is in great measure owing to his success that School running is in its present thriving ' state. We hope that he will respond to the keen competition available when he goes up to Clare College, Cambridge, in 1963. We are also likely to be losing M. J . Oliver, R. L. Harris and M. D . E. Khan who have all served the School loyally in their running. We thank them and wish them success in the future. Their team-spirit has been most valuable and should set next year's team in the right direction.

FENCING

Master in charge: Mr. A. S. J cnkins Captain : E . A. Mobbs Secretary: K. J ohnson

Unfortunately we had few fixtures during the Lent term, because . of regrettable mistakes made on both sides, and in one case our bemg unable to raise a team because of illness. There were no Second FOil matches at all. In the two matches that were fought, the technique of the First Foil was considerably better than it has ever been. The. performance of the Junior Foil, however, was considerably below eXI?ectatlOns.

The beginners at foil in the Cl.ub are makmg. satisfactory ~rogress, and the beginners at sabre are progressmg excellently, m view of the I~herent difficulties of learning this weapon without the groundwork of a fOl.l tech­nique. The second year fencers seem to be s~ffering from a lack of mterest and we hope that this attitude is only transl~ory . .

Finally, we. must thank both Mr. Jenkms and Professor Mold~vanYI for their help and unflagging interest in the Club. We would also like to thank Mr. J. S. Clarke for" standing in" for Mr. Jenkins on occasions.

MATCH RESULTS Saturday, February 10th, v. Whitgift (H.)

First Foil, Lost 2-7; Junior Foil, Lost 0-9 Although the First Foil loss seems rather devastating, the fencing was very close,

and the First Foil was fencing extremely well. Our opponents, however! managed to take the upper hand, and gained for themsel~es a ye~y well-deserved vIctory.

The fencing of the Junior FOIl was very dlsappomnng. The fencers seemed to lack enthusiasm, initiative and inspiration, and their loss was deserved.

Thursday, March 8th, v. Still-Oak Fencing Club CA.) First Foil: Won 9-7

In a very friendly atmosphere, the Fir~t Foil fenced iIJ way to victory in a tr!,ly inspired manner, against very stIff opposItIon . We look .l.orward to another meeung with Still-Oak.

TEAf;tr~t Foil from: E . A. Mobb., R. R. Mahoney, K. Johnson, J. A. H . Anderson. Junior Foil: K. Godfrey. N. Day, P . Warren. At the end of last term, Profesor Moldovanyi held tests for the first year fencers .

The following passed their first Jape (b) King (b) Leat (b) Meikle Cb)

test: -Lal (bn) MacIntyre (bn) Newton (bn) RatclifIe Cbn)

Whittington Cr) Higgs (s) Carlisle Ct) Fisher Ctn)

We would like to congratulate all the above on a fine effort.

The pools for the Under 16 Foil Competition were also fen~ed off, and although there was no time for the final, we hope to hold thIS early in the Trinity term. We must congratulate Meikle, a first year fencer, on reaching the final pool of the Under 16 Competition.

Several members of the Club have entered for the Public Schools Fencing Championships, which are to be held in the Easter holidays. We sincerely hope that they will meet with some measure of success.

In general, the Club is running very w~l1. The only difficulty is a slight shortage of equipment, but we are hOplOg for some new eqUipment in the near future, including some new sabres, and some epees, a weapon which some members of the Club wish to adopt. We hope that in the future, the Club will continue to expand, while maintaining the close spirit of co-operation which exists at present.

SHOOTING Master in charge: Mr. A . J. Bowen

Captain: C. H. Wilson Secretary: M. J. Day The term started off with a change of targets from Tin Hats to

Country Life. Monday night practices have brought down some younger members of the School who are good prospects for the future eight. Throughout the term practices gave quite good scores averaging over 750 out of 800, but when it came to the actual Country Life Competition our scores fell badly-probably due to an attack of nerves and a certain amount of inexperience-with several members of the VIII dropping . their groups and we finished up with a score of 720.

The final match of the year was against the A.O.B. Rifle Club which was fired under Country Life conditions plus landscape. The match ended with the School one point in front.

School - 815 A.O.B.R.C. - 814 This term we have to say goodbye to C. H. Wilson, our captain for

the last year. In all matches he has fired consistently well for the · School and the VIII will notice his absence in the coming .303 season. ..

EDWARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE 777

Chess will change, that the abundant enthusiasm of the Lower School boys will not wane so abruptly on their arrival in the Upper School, and that the Houses will come to recognise Chess as an intellectual activity and afford it the same status as other School activities.

The School teams have enjoyed a particularly successful season in the London Schools' Chess League, finishing 6th out of 42 schools in the Seniors, and 8th out of 38 in the Juniors. This is decidedly the best result since the School joined the League.

Results were:-

v. Battersea G.S. (H .) v. Roan School (A.) v. St. Olave's (H.)

(Senior) Won 3,- 2t Won 4 - 2 Lost 4 - 2

(Junior) Lost 4t- It Drawn 3 - 3 Won 6 - 0

We played one friendly this term, our traditional match against Bedford Modern School (A.). The Seniors drew, 3-3; the Juniors won, 4-2.

Half Colours were awarded to J . R. Wood, K. P. Allan. Quartel· Colow·s were re-awarded to R. A. Bowshell, and awarded

to: D. J. Thomas, B. S. Evans, K. C. Thompson, J. A. Laskowski, R. Adams, G. Clements, D. Pittuck.

The Chess teams wish to thank Mr. Morton for his continued help and encouragement throughout the year.

K.P.A.

C.C.F: NOTES The Lent term is one in which training compan ies work at fever

pitch for the Army Proficiency Certificate, held this year on March 7th at the Guards' Depot, Caterham. A Coy. N.C.O.s and cadets are to be heartily congratulated on an outstandingly good result : 85 cadets obtained certificates, 23 with credit. This, the best result obtained since the new examination replaced the old Cert. A part 11, reflects great credit on all concerned. The 23 cadets who reached this high standard now form the new N.C.O. cadre.

Field Day saw the battalion scattered, as ever, far and wide. The N.C.O. cadre spent an unseasonable day-it was snowing and very cold­boating on the lake at Wimbledon Common. Three members of the group actually spent some time in the lake! It is to be recorded that the cadets concerned showed a fine spirit and, owing to the prompt help rendered by Captain Randall and others, they came to no serious harm.

The RE. Squadron spent the day with the Norwood Civil Defence Training School; "P" Battery were the guests of 26liQueen Mary's Own/ Surrey Yeomanry RA., T .A.; Signals Squadron and B Coy. went to Wimbledon Common for a day's training, while A Coy. remained at School aIld had an intensive day's preparation for the above-mentioned Proficiency test.

The . RA.F. Section spent their day at Tangmere, where they were given a demonstration of air-sea rescue work.

With regard to other activities, forty-three cadets visited the School of Artillery at Larkhill, where they saw the 8-in. gun (an atomic cannon) fired and also had a look at other missiles in action. Twenty-five cadets went to Woolwich and attended a demonstration by the RA. of the 105 mm. gun.

During the Easter holid~y no fewe~ than 118 cadets went to camps or courses. Most of the various actiVIties are reported elsewhere in this issue, but it is worth mentioning that at the Shooting Camp held at Shornclifie all cadets fired the No. 4 rifle, the new self-loading rifle, the

778 EDW ARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE

Bren, the Sten, the Stirling and, at long last, the Rocket Launcher-a weapon not yet fired by many regular soldiers.

The R.A.F. Section had their Annual Camp at R.A.F. St. Athan, South Wales, from April 25th until May 2nd. All cadets had experience in flying, gliding and mountain exercises. In fact, the camp was voted a tremendous success by all who attended.

And now we are already in the throes of preparation for our Annual Inspection, which this year will be on Friday, June 15th. The Contingent will be inspected by Maj.-Gen. P. Gleadell, c.B., C.B.E., D.S.O. All parents are very cordially invited to attend this function, and are respect­fully asked to be in position by 2.30 p.m. It will be a strenuous occasion for cadets and N.C.O.s, but the latter will doubtless be fortified by the thought of an evening's dancing after the toil of the day.

Both sides continued to show the excellent form of last term, especially the younger side, whose only defeat was at the hands of an Oakfield U.14 XI. Probably their best performance was against Forest Hill School, who were defeated 3-2.

Grant captained the U.12 XI very well and is one of the best ball players seen in the Lower School for some time. He was ably backed up by Dennis, a centre forward with the ability to seize a half chance, Moat, a strong, powerful centre-half, and Raishbrook, a most reliable goalkeeper.

Our thanks go to Mr. P. R. Hopper of Oakfield School for donating an excellent soccer book for presentation to the outstanding first year player, and our congratulations go to M. Grant, who was awarded this prize. We look forward to next season's renewal of fixtures against our old acquaintances.

In the House Cup competition Baker's defeated Collin's 2-0 in the final, having won an extremely exciting first round match against Hender­son's 2-l. Collin's had reached the final by way of a 3-2 victory over Smith's.

ALLEYN OLD BOYS' FOOTBALL CLUB The season 1961-62 was, by and large, our most successful since the

war and although we did in fact win only one trophy, there was an all­rou~d improvement in the results achieved by all but the. lowes.t el~v.eI?' To chronicle our successes the first eleven were runners-up In their diVISion of the Southern Amateu~ League and thus gain promotion to the second division for next season. They also reached the final of the Old Boys' Cup, there to be beaten 3-0 by Old Stationers, who incidentally are a well

saz

... EDWARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE 783

placed first division side, and then only after a replay, the first tie being a goal-less draw. Both games were of very high standard and we acquitted ourselves well . The second eleven were less successful, finishing above half-way in the league, but being knocked out of the Old Boys junior cup early on, they seemed to be inconsistent, a.d had they played at their best throughout would have done much better. The third eleven went one better than the first eleven in that, while they too were runners-up in their division of the League and gained promotion, they won the Old Boys' Minor Cup, beating Old Latymerians 4-2, again in a replay after drawing first time 4-4. The fourth eleven, whose proud boast is that they have never been below the second division in their section of the league (there has only been a third division for two seasons) managed to rally after a very poor start, and so avoided relegation which at one time seemed a certainty. They also reached the fourth round of the A.F.A. Novets Cup, at which juncture they were knocked out by the eventual winners. The fifth eleven, which is always affected by enforced changes from week to week were less successful, but it is almost inevitable that they should run up against much stronger sides from time to time, it being difficult to avoid overmatching them on occasions. However their enthusiasm never waned, and if this is maintained next season, it should enable them to show improved result$. The improvement in the Club's results is in no small way attributable to the high standard of the various Captains, both on and off the field, so therefore their names should go on record: 1st XI Alan Beaumont, 2nd XI Peter Franklin, 3rd XI "Douggie" Osborne, 4th XI Peter Reeve, and 5th XI Bob Roberts.

Having mentioned our achievements, it is necessary to warn against any feeling of complacency fO!: next season. We must hope not just to maintain the positions won last season, but strive still further to improve upon them. Our least ambition should be to become the premier Old Boys' side. The first eleven will not manage to go much further ahead unless the lower sides, in particular the second eleven, also move up with them. In order to do this we continually need new blood, and we can only look to the School and hope that more of the top-class players there will come to Burbage Road and help to strengthen weaknesses which are still apparent.

Enquiries re membership should be made to the Honorary Secretary, B. E. Humber, 57 Cumberland Road, Bromley, Kent.

RUGBY FIVES CLUB Once again the Fives Club has enjoyed a successful season; winning

nineteen matches and losing one-an away match to Oxford University. In the Amateur Doubles Championship, the Club pairs were, perhaps, a little unfortunate in being drawn against each other in the earlier rounds. However, P. Badmin and R. Dorey reached the semi-finals before being beaten by J. Pretlove and H. Smith (the holders), who were themselves beaten in the final after three very close games. Indeed they may well have won, had the ball run a little better for them.

It may not be generally realised by many Old Boys, that the Fives Club is one of the most successful sections of the Old Boys' Club. We are, amongst other players of the game, still regarded as the " Mecca" of Fives and since 1930, Club players have won Amateur Doubles on no fewe! than ten occasions. We have also been fortunate to have had in J. F. Pretlove, the finest player of his generation.

Unfortunately, a club is only as strong as its members and if the standard of play for which this Club is known is to be maintained new members are urgently needed-especially from the younger Old Boys. The present $tandard of their play is imnlaterial. We haVe throush the generosity

784 EDWARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE

of the School the use of four of the finest courts in the country and ample facilities for coaching. Club nights are Tuesday, Wednesday and ~ursday, the cour.ts may also be used on Saturday mornings. Any Old Boy mterested in joining should contact the Honorary Secretary, S. W. Bat!1ck, 61 Bradley Road, London, S.E.19. Tel.: LIV 2911.

TENNIS CLUB Despite a late spring, the new season is now well under way .. A

full match programme has been arranged as usual. This year we are taking part in the newly created Ladies' section of the South London League as well as the mens' competition, which we won last year.

In addition we are entering teams for the Streatham Cup and,. for the first time, the Surrey Junior Cup. The usual tournaments are bemg. held this year and Finals Day will be on Saturday, July 14th, when vISItors will be ;ery welcome. Refreshments will be available during the afternoon and a dance will be held in the Pavilion-recently re-opened after the recent fire-after the presentation of prizes. .

Membership is well up to the level of recent years, but we stl.ll ~ave vacancies for Old Boys and Lady members, and would welcome applIcatIOns for membership. Enquiries should be addressed to the Honorary Secretary, R. E. Keates, 9 Clapham Mansions, Nightingale Lane, S.WA (KELvm 3508). Alternatively, anyone interested may prefer to call at the Club ground in Burbage Road, preferably at weekends.

We wish to remind members of the Cricket and Football Clubs that their wives are entitled to play tennis at Junior rates of subscription just as much as those of the Tennis Club. At the present time, not one of our lady members is the wife of a cricketer or a footballer, we hope the near future will see this remedied. We also wish to point out to members of the Staff of Alleyn's School-past as well as present-that they are eligible to join any section of the Athletic Club.

R.E.K.

RIFLE CLUB At the time of wrltmg we have just completed our Winter League

shooting but unfortunately do not have any successes to report. Never­theless, we enjoyed the season and appreciate the support received from members of the School VIII, many of whom joined us in the range every Tuesday evening. At the end of March we had a very exciting match against the VIII under "Country Life" conditions which the School won by one point, and this was followed by an evening's shooting in a less formal mood for which John Avery organised many amusing competitions.

Now we are looking forward to the full-bore season at Bisley and hope that our shooting will be of a high enough standard to enable us to write of our achievements in the next issue of this magazine.

P.F.T.

CORRESPONDENCE Dear Sir, .

While reading the correspondence in your November issue I recalled that I was at School when the House System was introduced, over 50 years ago, when I became attached to Brading's.

Probably our family constituted some sort of record at Alleyn's, in that six brothers followed one another or were present together. I was the youngest and followed George, Edwin, Louis, Julius and Wilfrid. There must have been at least one of us present in the years 1894 to 1910. None

EDW ARD ALLEYN MAGAZINE 785

of us created any records within the School or on the playinl:? fields. In fact the despairing comment of the German Master (Dr. Hlrsch) made periodically to his class seemed very applicable to us:-

"My Boysl My Boys; You only come here to vaste your vather's money and vear out your trousers.'~

However, we did between us manage to win three handsomely bound book prizes in the years 1897, 1904 and 1907, and these are still preserved in the family archives.

Yours sincerely, LEONARD ELLlS .

ARTHURIAN LEAGUE Sir,

I am very disappointed and I do know many other Old Boys are too, that A.O.B. Football Club are not taking part in the new" Arthur Dunn" League.

One of the objects of the A.O.B. Club is to further the fortunes and assist our School. I presume that membership of the Southern Amateur League is preventing the Club from receiving an invitation to join the new League.

The School are now strong in Public School football and when boys leave they should have the opportunity to play against Public School Old Boys' sides, moreover I am certain more interest would be shown by Old Boys.

I consider the time has come to resign from the S.A.L. and await the invitation from the Arthur Dunn Cup Committee.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Editor, L. A. PELLA TT (b 1917).

It is very nice to hear again from J. Q. Barnes . I certainly do remember the Brading's v. Cri bb's Cricket Cup match of

1911. After a lucky start I reached 122, which was, I believe, the first century to be made in House cricket. I was run out because my heel had become so sore that I could not run properly. Mr. Cribb later remarked that it was not the first case of someone being vulnerable in the heel, a reference, of course, to Achilles.

In the Brown's v. Cribb's Cricket Cup match of 1912, Prescott made 146 out of a total of over 300. Herridge in reply made 105 and he and I put on 173 for the first wicket, but we lost the match .

Barnes' reference to the brilliant violin playing of Friedson reminds me that one day in the Prefects' Room I was looking at some music left by Friedson or his excellent accompanist, L. F . Masters.

The former said to me in a slightly superior way, "What are you doing with that?" as if it was quite out of my province. He did not know that I had had six years of tuition on the pianoforte, but had been compelled to give it up because, soon after I joined the School, cricket made me get home too late for my music lessons.

Within a few months of starting business I resumed by music studies under the same tutor, but on the organ. The 1914-18 war, of course, caused a break, but I managed to obtain the A.R.C.O. diploma in January, 1920, passing both the playing and the paperwork at the first attempt. It was my intention to go on for the F.R.C.O., but business and domestic responsibilities prevented it.

Since retirement I have again resumed lessons on the organ and 10

paperwork, and obtained the L.T.C.L. diploma last December in the Organ (Performer) Section.

186 EDW'ARb ALLEYN MAGAZINE

This music study in addition to being a good mental exercise, enables me to help organists in the Bournemouth area who are ill or otherwise in difficulty. I was literally called out of my bath one Sunday morning last October to deputise at a church three miles away for an organist whose car had broken down where there was no public transport available.

Yours sincerely, E. w. CAVE.

See yourself as an officer -flying in the R.A.F .

Your passp ort to a full and adventurou s life- a flying commission in the R oyal Air Force. I t's a well paid career that will take you all over th e world with the compan ion ship that only Service life can give. You 'll sp end you r early years as an officer on operational flying. L ater, as your career develop s you m ay do tou rs of d u ty in command of op eration al training units, as a staff officer in R .A.F. and N .A.T.O. h ead quarters, in military and civil research and development establishments, and possibly as an Air Attache to a British Embassy abroad. Life today in the R.A.F. offers you security, excellent pay, and a p rogressive career leading to high rewards .

Here are some of the ways of beginning your flying career with the R.A.F.

Through Cranwe ll If you are IH-19! and hold or expect to gain G.C.E. in English language, maths., science or a language, and two other subjects ('A' level in two subjects) you can apply for a cadetship at the R.A.F. College, Cranwell, where you will be trained on University lines for a perma­nent commission, which guarantees you a full career to the age of at least 55· If you are over 15 years 8 months you can apply for an R.A.F. scholarship, and if you are successful, a place will be reserved for you at CranweII. This scholarship can be worth up to £230 a year, tax-free, to your parents and enables you to stay at school to gain the necessary G.C.E. 'A' level qualifications.

Through a Direct Ent ry Commission If you are 17-26 and hold G.C.E. at 'O 'level in English language, mathematics and three other acceptable subjects you can apply for a Direct Entry commission.

This gives you a pensionable career to 38 (or 16 years if this is longer), with good prospects of serving to the age of 55. If you retire at the end of 16 years, you will receive a pension of £455 a year and a tax-free gratuity of £1365. If you prefer to serve for a shorter period, you may leave after 5, 8, or 12 years. All periods of service carry a tax-free gratuity of anything from £775 to £4000. If you are 16-17 you are not yet old enough to apply for a Direct Entry Commission but you can take a pre­assessment test and spend two days as the R.A.F.'s guest at the aircrew selection centre near London. This test will show whether you have an aptitude for flying and whether you are likely to qualify as an officer when you are old enough. Pay is excellent At 21, as a F lying Officer you will earn £950 a year ; at 25, as a Flight Lieutenant on full allowances, you could earn over £1750 a year.

Find out more about flying in the R.A .F.-as a pilot, navigator, or air electronics officer­by writing, giving your date of birth and educational qualifications, to the address below. You will be sent, without obligation, full details together with an illustrated booklet.

THE F U T U REI S WIT H THE R.A.F.

If you aim to start out on a career (not just to take a job); if you like meeting people (all sorts of people); if YOII are interested in what goes on around you (and in the larger world outside) then there is much that will satisfy you in our service. For we provide an amazing variety of banking facilities through an organiza­tion of over 2,330 branches- large and small-in the cities, towns and villages of England and Wales and the Channel Islands. We have, too, offices at the leading airports, at the Ocean Terminal, Southampton and in several of the Cunard liners. The Midland is every­where- ill everything. You will find no lack of variety if you join us.

~ SALARIES ARE GOOD

The basic salary scale compares favour­ably with any in similar fields. Examples are:-

Age Provinces Central London 17 £295 £395 18 360 460 21 420 520 24 550 650 31 900 1000

But do remember that these are only the basic figures. Every young man of promise is given practical help and encouragement and those, for example, who move into a Special Grade will receive at least £160 above the figure quoted.

~ PROSPECTS ARE EXCELLENT Promotion is based solely on merit (and, moreover, on merit regularly, impartially and widely assessed). Training is provided at every stage to prepare all who respond to it for early responsibility and the Bank's special scheme for Study Leave will be available to assist you in your studies for the Institute of Bankers Examinations. Young men can confi­dently train to enter branch management (many will reach it while still in their thirties). Salaries in this field range from a minimum of £1,600 to £4,500 a year­and more-according to the level of responsibility attained. The highest positions in the bank are open to all and at the top are rewards that would satisfy even the most ambitious.

~ PENSIONS ARE FREE A non-contributory Pension Scheme

brings a pension equal to two-thirds of final salary after full service.

~ YOU SHOULD HAVE a good school record (G.C.E. passes at 'A' level entitle you to one year's seniority on the salary scale, and earn exemptions in certain subjects of the J nstitute of Bankers Examin­ations). Sound health, absoluto in tegri ty and the will to succeed are also essential.

~ WE SHALL HAVE pleasure in arranging for you to have an interview with a District Staff Superin­tendent at one of a number of convenient centres in London and the Provinces, but please write first to:-

HELP US TO MAINTAIN LAST YEAR'S

HIGH ATTENDANCE

A Career in the Bank Never be/ore have opportunities/or young people been as promising as they are today in Barclays Bank. Here is a brief outline 0/ the

career that awaits you there.

The Bank wants young men of character and integrity, with a good

standard of general education. Given these qualifications and an aptitude for the job, there is no reason why you should not find yourself a Branch Manager in your thirties, with a salary upwards of £1,550, and the chance of doubling your pay by the time you are 50. Looking ahead you could be one of those M anagers whose salary exceeds £4,500 a year -a man with a big job, full of interest and responsibility. A goal worth striving for: and those who reach it will have a pension at 65 (without any contributions on their part) of£2,500 a year or morc. Moreover, the biggest jobs in the Bank are open to all. For the early years there's a · minimum salary scale for satisfactory work: £285 at 16 to £875 at 31 with a year's seniority

for a good Advanced L evel certificate and three years for a degree. From

22 onwards merit can take the salary well above these figures; if the early

promise is maintained, the salary at 29

can be £ 1 ,000, instead of the scale fig­

ure of £805.
