THE SERGEANT-MAJOR.
It is with deep regret that we record the death of that well-loved and faithful servant of the School, Sergeant-Major F. J. Davidson. The
Sergeant-Major became ill during the last holidays, and was taken to the
Royal North Shore Hospital, where he died on the evening of October 2nd.
The Funeral Service was held in the Chapel on the morning of October
4th, and was attended by the Sixth and Fifth forms and a large number
of Old Boys The Cadet Cois attended School on Friday in uniform,
and the boys lined the road as the procession passed. The• funeral then
proceeded to the Northern Suburbs Crematorium. Most of the masters
attended the funeral, leaving the boys in the charge of a few masters and
prefects.
HEADMASTER'S ADDRESS.
T
No doubt we feel to 7day that we are turning a page in the hikory of the
School, a page that will be packed for all of us with memories of a very unusual
man. Time moves on, but Sergeant-Major Davidson will live on in the affectionate
recollections of that great company who come within the ambit of the School's
Influence. His place in the School's history is unique, and is due far more to
the, qualities of the man even than to the things which he did. Old Boys are
to-day more widely scattered through the world than ever. The news of his
death will come, in due course, to men in the camps in England, on the deserts
of Egypt, in Palestine, to many in the Air Force, and to some in the ships of
His Majesty's Navy. To them all he was a familiar flgure'and in all their hearts
the news will strike a note of deep regret. I have had a number of letters lately
in which men on service have mentioned him. . An airman wrote from England
"I wish we had the SM; in this depot; he would keep things moving in the
right way." An officer wrote from an officer's school in Palestine about a Scots

TORCH-BEARER.
Dec.9,1940.
Guard sergeant who was one of the instructors 'He is very smart and reminds
me very much of the Sergeant-Major, but he is not quite as good as that." There
will be for many a long day the same ring of affectionate admiration in the
memories that will pass between Old Boys. These are the tributes which he
liked to have. His eyes sparkled when I quoted these letters to him. But I
know that in both cases there was a respect, which we all share, for much more
than his great skill.
Sergeant-Major Davidson enlisted in the Scots Guards in 1891 at the age of
14 years and 2 months. His father, had served in the regiment for 32 years
before him. I have seen a letter in which a Guards officer speaks of young
Davidson maintaining the good name which his father had built up before him.
He served for 22 years. It was there that he' had his education, and a fine
education it is that the British Army gives. Education is of little use unless
It enables a man to benefit others. We who know his work. here have ample
evidence of the part which it enabled him to play in his turn. He served in
South Africa from 1900 to 1902, and was mentioned in despatches during the
campaign. From 1908 to 1913 he was a gymnastic instructor at the Guards Depot
at Aldershot. After his discharge he came to Australia, and was appointed to
the position at this School .whieh he held for 27 years. During this time nearly
5000 boys have passed through the School.
What is it that causes us to be deeply stirred as we think of our old colleague ?
There was a man who had pride
We shall remember his fine physical bearing.
in his appearance, whose shoulders were squared with consciousness of the command of his physical powers. His effortless command of his voice, too, we all
admired. He had that incisiveness of speech which reflects decision and which
commands obedience. Both these qualities have meant a great deal' to this
School, situated as it is in a land in which carelessness of bearing is too often
confused with freedom of manner, and untidiness of diction is too often an'
affectation. We shall miss also his care for the routine of the School's daily life.
Few know how many clerical duties fell to him, and how much his accurate and
loyal care meant to the School's routine efficiency.
But these were not real reasons for his place in the School's respect. His'
erect carriage reflected a direct honesty of heart ; his incisive speech reflected
a proper self-confidence and a forthright character. Beneath all this work ,there
was the motive of a very simple and direct loyalty. School life seldom fails to
i'eveal shallowness of character or lack of sincerity. But Davidson rang true to
every test.
There was a certain breadth of manner about the SergeantMajor which, for
myself, I have always admired and envied. He easily found just the correct
footing with the smallest of Prep. School boys and the oldest of Old Boys at a
Speech Day, or at an Old Boys' Dinner. There was always just the right measure
of kindliness, or deference, or familiarity : he was never at a loss ; he always
said what was In his mind, but, because he was of the right mind, it was always
In place and of the right temper—a great accomplishment, I think,' which gave
him a personal dignity which never failed.
A good, simple, ,loyal man whose unique character leaves its mark more
deeply impressed than we can fully know. The School was his life, as it was
the life of H. H. Dixon and David Davies and others who are not far from our
thoughts in this building. His bodily presence has gone from us in the inevitable

of life, and, in so doing, they hand on, to be preserved by us, all the essential
substance of their own lives.
EDITORIAL.
SERGEANT-MAJOR DAVIDSON.
On October 2nd, after a brief illness, Sergeant-Major Davidson passed
away. His death came as a great shock to all who knew him., and left a
gap in our School life which call never be entirely filled. Old Boys from
all parts of Australia sent messages of sympathy to the School, showing in
a most striking- way the place which he held in their affections. Extracts
from some of these letters appear in the Old Boys' Notes.
OTher people outside the School also expressed their sympathy, and
mentioned the courteous assistance which the Sergeant-Major had always
given to them when they visited Shore.
But we need not go beyond the bounds of the School itself to find
evidence of the high respect in which he was held. 1-lere there are more
than seven hundred boys, each of whom admired the man, and now respects
his memory. No boy could help but admire the effortless control which he displayed both on assembly.and on the parade grmind.
A man needs a strong éiiàracter to control men, and it was this
strength of character which gained for hurta plc in the respect and
affections of all. Some say that boys are very fickle, and that their
ideas and opinions are continually changing; but a respect and affection
whi'ch lasts throughout the whole of a boy's school days can 'hardly be

false:
uH
This was the affection which the School showed for Sergeant-Major
Davidson, and this is-the respect which will always be shown to his memory.
Our memory of him will be no more fickle than our affections, no less
sincere than our respect.
SOME LIGHTER RECOLLECTIONS.
All great men, perhaps as an element of their greatness, have at times
given us lighter memories. Out of many stories which Sergeant-Major
Davidson told the writer in off periods and on Saturday mornings, here
are two.
122
THE
TORCH-BEARER.
Dec. 9,1940.
During the South African War, a number of British Regular Army
N.C.O. 's were lent to certain bodies of locally raised Irregular Mounted
Infantry. One of these was a corps of hard-shelled citizens, commanded
by a fire-eating Irishman, and known after him as Driscoll's Horse. To
them Sergeant Davidson of the Scots Guards was attached, and it is a
pity that we have no record of the process whereby the men of that
notorious legion made the acquaintance of discipline as it was understood
in the Guards. One day Colonel Driscoll addreSsed his men thus : ''Men,
look well to your horses to-night. There's a regiment of these Australians
camped over the' other 'side of the hill, and you know 'what they are
Driscoll's Horse kept 'vigil that night. Next morning the Australians
marched out; but, although they were a horsed' unit, many of them were
on foot.
And then there is the story that is known to many the story of the
Saturday morning telephone call.
Who the boy was this writer does
not know, nor does it matter. Mere accuracy is much bverrated.
"Is that Sydney Church of England Grammar School ?"
"Yes," replied the Sergeant-Major.
"Well. I just want to say that I am keeping
at home to-day,
so he won't be able to do his Saturday."
The S.M. smelt a rat.
''Who is speaking,. please
"It's—it's my father, sir !"
"Oh, it is, 'is it ? Well, you tell tat boy of yours to get here as
soon as his legs can bring' hin
'DOUBLE VICTORY.
It is now more than a year since the war began. On 3rd September,
1939, Britain declared to the whole world her intention of fighting Nazism
to the death. In those early days we were very proud of the position
which we held. We knew that the ideals of Democracy and Christianity
for which we were fighting were immortal, and that the hand of right and
justice was on our side. We entered the war in the defence of smaller
nations, hut, above all, in the defence of Christian ideals.
Germany had no ideals such as these for which to fight. Her one
thought, actuated by vengeance, greed and hatred, was for world domination. For what success could she hope ? A country which worshipped

wal could not possibly stand against a nation that had put its ''hand in
the hand of God."
With this feeling of confidence in the justice and ultimate success of
our cause we entered upon a long and bitter struggle. One by one our
allies have been defeated, and many outward and visible signs of England
have disappeared, but the spirit of England remains, and also, unimpired,
the ideals for which she is fighting.
If once we allow thoughts of vengeance to sway the dictates of wisdom,
if once we ailow ourselves to become petty in the hatred of nations, then
our right, which we claim to be our strength, will gradually dwindle.
We have set ourselves the task of overthrowing, not only Germany, but
also the ideas for which she stands. These ideas cannot be defeated if
we allow them to enter into our own souls. Throughout this war, let us
keep evei before us a full realization of the ideals for which we fight.
No nation defeated, no nation saved, can justify the horror and bloodshed in Europe to-day. It is only by stamping out the ideas which have
forced this war upon us that we can justify the part that we have played
in it. If our former high ideals are allowed to degenerate into a national
hatred, then we shall have defeated ourselves and, by accepting German
standards, we shall have advanced their ideas; if not their cause.
Let us then think of our motto, Vitai Lampada Tradvnt, and hand on
to those who follow a torch which burns ritIE an unsullied brightness, not
one which flickers feebly, then dies with our last ideals. Let us, remembering the high standard which we have. st ourselves, and refusing to
lower them through any petty thoughts of vengeance, push on to the final,
the double victory.

We gratefully acknowledge cheques for £3/3/- and 5/- from Mrs. Hunter and
Mr. Hill respectively. The excellent sum of £7 was raised by Brigden, of the
Prep., and his friends, by means of a fête held for this purpose. U.IV.E. led the
form totals, with V.A. and U.IV.A. second and third.
Mr. P. Sellick has joined the staff as School Clerk and Drill Instructor
in the place of the late Sergeant-Major Davidson.. Mr. Sellick was for
nineteen years in the Coldstream Guards, and came to Australia to join
the Australian Instructional Corps. Subsequently he served in the A.I.F.,
and holds the rank of lieutenant. We welcome Mi. Sellick, and w'ish him
well.
It was with great pride that we heard of the selection of E. B. J.
Smith as Rhodes Scholar for 1941. Smith was Senior Prefect in 1936,
gaining an exhibition in the Faculty of Science. He was in the Eight for
two years and the 1st XV. for one year, and was an officer in the Cadet
Corps during a period of three years. At the University he was awarded
a Blue for rowing, and is a lieutenant in the University Regiment. He
has been doing research work on natural products at the University, and
intends to do research in Chemistry at Oxford.
Two recent Rhodes Scholars are also serving abroad.
Ian Esplin
has done brilliantly, coming top of his flying school at Cambridge and
gaining his wings. He has now been posted as an instructor. B. H.
rIl1.a ,ers is serving with the A.I.F. in Palestine.
This term, in response to the need for an increased war effort, conscription has been introduced in the School. This was directed against
the onion weed, which was rapidly becoming a menace to the School ground.
Each form was called upon in turn to do its hit. Mr. Pope was in charge
of these, operations, which resulted in the complete extermination of the
noxious foe.
The response this term to the War Funds Appeal has been excellent.
The supply of salvage, however, has dropped off a little, and, although the
response is now fair, we hope that it will he even better in the future.
Miss Holmes left us at the end of last term, and we welcome back
Mr. McWilliam, who has returned to the School to take up his Old position.
This year the Sixth Form post-Leaving lectures took on a new tone.

Our main function this term was the \Tar Fnds Concert held on
Thursday evenin&, 31st October, in Wariingah Hall, Neutral Bay. The
programme was a varied one, comprising items by the School Octet conducted:byMr. Monckton, two very well produced one-act.playsand music
and other entertainment by "The Legionnaires," a concert-party who had
already freely contributed their talent in over sixty patriotic concerts this
year, and to whom we are very grateful indeed. The 1-lall was hooked
right out. The net proceeds amounted to £53/4/1, and this has been paid
into the War Fund. We wish to thank the many people who, in addition
to the artists, wholeheartedly assisted us in making the concert such a
success—the S.C.E.G.S. MTomen 's Auxiliary Committee, for a very generous donation of sweets for sale during the cYcling; the Scouts and other
boys, who ushered and sold sweets and programmes; members of the Art
Club, for posters; Mr. Brier]ey and Mr. Watson, who produced the plays;
and Mr. Grigg and his assistants, who solved without a single hitch all the
problems of make-up, stage-management, and incidental music.

At our Lunch-Hour Concert on Friday, 11th October, we enjoyed the
privilege of hearing the Scots College Orchestra and Choir, directed by
Mr. Victor Massey. The School I-louse Prep. Room was crowded to the
roof. Everyone was delighted by the performance. The programme was
excellently chosen, and was really a model one for a 5011001 orchestra, but
unfortunately lack of space prevents our giving it here. We congratulate

which was an inspiration to all of us.
Mr. Stanley Clarkson, bass-baritone, sang at the 'meeting of the Club
on Friday, 8th November. He was in fine voice, and, ably accompanied
by Mrs. Watts, opened his programme with a group of songs by Handel,
and concluded with ''Vagabond,'' by John Ireland, and Kennedy iusscll 's
"Gipsy River." Many thanks to Mr. Ciarkson and his accompanist
DRAMATIC SOCIETY.
One of the most outstanding items in the Concert at Wariingah Hail
was the last of the evening. It was a one-act play by Stanley Houghton,
"The Dear Departed," produced by Mr. Watson. The cast included
B. B. Marshall, W. Mustori, B. Higgs, I. MeNuity, W. Allen and 0. Wilson,
two of whom made excellent ladies, and a third an extraordinarily horrid
little girL
Barry Marshall, as Mrs. Slater, was really excellent, with a surprisingly' realistic red wig: Indeed, the make-up was so effective that
someone whose name I shall not mention was discovered off-stage talking
so earnestly to Mrs. Slater about the weather that it was a shame topoint
out his mistake. .
William Muston, as Mrs. Jordan, was aisp ver;.good. We shall never
forget that plumed hat, and I feel sure that if he had walked into the
Hall and taken his seat in the audience he would have carried it off 1
Full mourning, even unto' black lacquered finger-nails
Their husbands, B. Riggs and I. MeNulty respectively, were also very
good, and we wondered how long Mr. Slater was going to endure the pipe.
But no, the pipe was all right; we should have done better to he concerneci about the moustache. It was lucky it did not come right off
Victoria Sla.ter, a positively atrocious girl of ten or thereabouts, was
excellently played by Wickham Allen. People like Victoria always make
me seethe, and I don't think I've ever done it with more vehemence than
while seeing this life-like portrayal.

Abel Merryweather. We thank Mr. Moiickton for a beautiful bald head,
and, to complete the deception, he wore a pair of glasses over which to
look at you. He adapted himself admirably to the ci.acked voice of an
old man, and on the whole left nothing to be desired in his playing of
Mr. Meiryweather.
In fact, the whole concern went off without one hitch, and we compliment Mr. Watson and all the others concerned on an excellent show.

4 \\T1o , J. Hum and R. Merewether have contributed useful poster
Many drawings and paintings, chiefly from the Preparatory School,
have already been collected for the 1941 Exhibition.
E. M. Bagot, of L.IV., lent five prints of works by Raehurn,.Reynolds,
Gainsborough, Hoga.rth, Lawrence and Constable for the Club's frames.
The Secretary, J. Merewether, casts his mantle on R. Merewether,
who, we feel sure, will be a worthy successor.
It is l)referable 1 to have a

All members are expected to go ahead with something in the long
holidays. More breadth and strength of treatment aie needed To
ensure this, members are advised to practise with poster colours and large
brushes (No. 10 and upwards). The use of coiomed chalks (pastels),
powder paints and charcoal is recommended. Powder paints are 2d. an
ounce at Sandy's. The rough side of biown paper and thick wallpaper
are preferable to ordinary drawing paper. More paintings from life and
imaginative work are looked for, and less copying.
The Sehobi poster

There is enough thient nov in the School to
provide a really stirring show in 1941.

THE OCTET.
Items from ''Haddon Hall" (Sullivan) and from " The Arcadians"
(Talbot) were rendered at the War Fund Concert on 31st October.
Messrs. Gilfihlan and Sawkins, and also M. Wellington of hA., gave good
solos.
At an entirely School entertainment next winter, the Club hopes to
provide most of the musical items, some of these being from ''Merrie
England" (German). We shall he most grateful for the Than of copies
of this work.
During the last week of term, unaccompanied carols were sung in
Chapel—''I saw three ships" (Godfrey Sampson) and ''0 conic, all ye
faithful" (harrnonised by Walford Davies).
We shall much miss J. Merewether, one of the original members of
The Otet, and a most adaptable singer.

The September Camp was held as usual. Pittwater Basin was the
site chosen after careful consideration, and it proved to be all that we
had hoped. It is a beautiful place, and, although we were on a camping
ground, it was very private. We were allowed on this groundhout
payment of the usual camping fee by the kind perrnision of the Warringah
Council. The country is ideal for Scout training, and it was put to full
advantage. Part of every day was spent in training, and tests of various
kinds were passed. We had two boats at the Camp, and made full use
of these. Much of the time at Camp we spent in these boats, either
swimming or rowing round the basin. All Stores for the Camp were
brought on the first day, and so gave good training to the Patrol Leaders,
who had to order their provisions in bulk. The usual camp fire was held
on the eve of departure.
The usual meetings were held this term in the Scout Hut, several
investitures taking place. The standard of work this term has been very
high, the younger members of the Troop taking a very keen interest.

CADET NOTES.
It is with deep regret that we record the death of Sergeant-Major
F. J. Davidson. The interests of the Corps were always close to his
heart very many Drill Teams have borne and very many soldiers bear
the impress of his hand. All who carried their military work beyond the
Cadet stage freely acknowledge their personal debt to him.
The Corps, as a tribute to his memory and as an acknowledgment of
its debt to him, attended School in uniform on the day of the SergeantMajor's funeral, and lined the drive and street as the cortege passed by.
Lt.-Gen. C. G. N. Miles, C.M.G., D.S.O., G.O.C. Eastern Comnianci,
inspected the Corps on Tuesday, 15th October. We were drawn up in
mass at the north end of the School ground, facing south, the saluting
base being situated in the centre of the line joining the corner of the new
Laboratories to the Edward Street gate. After the inspection the Corps
broke up into training groups.
Lt.-Co]. W. P. Fàrr, D.S.O., G.S.O. I. Eastern Command, visited the
School on Tuesday, 29th October, shortly before his death. At the eonelusion of the parade Lt.-Col. Farr addressed the Corps. His remarks
included advice of special interest to those about to leave School. He
said that boys under the age. for enlistment in the A.I.F. should join the
Militia in order to develop the physical maturity they did not possess at
an earlier ge, and that was necessary to enable them to endure the severe
trials a fighting soldier might be called upon to face.
On Speech Day the Corps is to parade under t1e command of Lieut.
0-. H. Broinowski, and is to march past.
Officers.—Lieut. P. Sellick, who is taking the place of Sgt.-Major
Davidson,, has taken up duties with the Corps.
Mr. I. F. Jones hs joined the Corps, and has applied fr a commission. Mr. Jones is a returned soldier, and belongs to the R.S.V.D.C.
Lieut. B. A. Selby has left us to become a member of the S.U.R.
W.O. H. W. Coulson's application for a commission as Cdt.-Lt. has
been sent in.
Cdt.-Lts. A. V. Maxwell, P. V. Murphy and G. H. Wearne have
recently resigned to take up commissions with 55 Bn., joining G. C. Dent
and D. R. Roughton, who are already subalterns in the 55th.
N.C.O. Schools.—The Staff Officer for Cadets, Capt. Moray, conducted
an eight-day School for Officers and N.C.O. 's at Hurlstone Park A.H.S.
from 23rd to 30th August. The course of training included Field En-

of our N.C.O. 's attended the school as pupils, and four Cdt.-Lts. as
instructors.
Two schools are to he held during the holidays—the first from 14th
to 21st December, 1940, and the second from 21st January to 11th
February, 1941.
Arms.—Rifles, .303 in., and baToncts have been withdrawn from all
Cadet Detachments. Now that they are no longer on issue to us, we
realise what an important part they played in 'our work. The .310
Westley—Riehards rifle has been issued to us instead of the .303s. This
weapon is not without appeal. Unfortunately no ammunition, either
ball or blank, is available for use with it.
In order to be abl.e to carry on with Bayonet Training, 30 hardwood
dummy rifles with conduit ''bayonets" have been secured.
A model Bren gun made by Mr. Jones has appeared on parade. It
will he used next year for section training.
Books, containing matter of great interest, are purchasable :"The Fighting Soldier."
"New Ways of War" (Penguin special).
Notes for Section Commanders" (Jefferson).
All those who have not returned Text Books on issue to them are
urgently requested to post them in to the Adjutant without delay.
Rifle Shooting, except on the Miniature Range, has disappeared from
the programme, neither 'rifles nor ammunition being available.
Training.—In lieu of Camp this year, training took the form of Field
Training (four days), and rehearsals, examinations and administration
(one day). The Field Training was carried out at Blacktown, moèfhent
out and baëk each day being by train.
Cost of Joining the Corps.—UNIFoiuvl (tunic, trousers, hat, pugree, shoes,

Although our readers may not believe it, the two folloihg poemà

It will be interesting for readers to make a comparison between the two
and study the methods of treatment.

FUTILITY.
(By R. T. Finch.)
A vision I saw, a vision so clear
That it sears in my nincl as I write it down here
I saw, marching past with noiseless tread,
The ever-extending columns of dead
That were our fathers.
I know not where I was, nor how
I came uponthis place of death;
I know not where I was, but now
- I stil.I daw in a shuddering, breath
As I think of that heating, throbbing sound,
Dispersing the air and rocking the ground.
A chant it was, containing one word,
Yet it filled the minds of all who heard
With a terrible anguish.
Then I began with them to repeat
The chant that throbbed beneath our feet"Futility !"

I closer drew, mingling with those shadowy form.s of men,
Their faces drawn and sad, a longing in their eys;
The vain hope they had cherished died away again,
And they felt the sting of inward tears at their futile sacrifice.
"Has pitiless Fate decreed," they cried,
"That peace shall be no more ?
Has foolish man in all his pride
Flung our sons in war '1"
Yet they know that as long as man remains man,
As long as the seas do roll,
Through boasting word and faulty plan
War shall take its toll;
And through the worlds of living and dead
Resounds that awful cry,
That swelling chant of anguish and dread,
For those about to die.
Yet a stronger cry in our world of life
Emerges from our bloodlust's strife,
A cry of hope that we will make
A better world, and thus forsake
Futility
VITA CONSERVATA.
(B. R. M.)
It befell one day that alone I. stood upon a cliff
That o 'erlooked •a surging, angry sea.,
Off
Battering at the rocks below with such wrath as if
Urged by some Unseen Force, whose angry cry
And berserk rage had lashed it on
With pitiless wind, whose mad song
Was oft a screaming wail, of Death, dropping to a sigh.
Above the tumult of the wind and sea
A thought occurred to me, upon which men
Have meditated centuries long—the thought of feeble Man,
Who pits his wits against the power of Nature;
And, battling thus, his courage fails and dies
As though he ne'er began.

I gazed upon the rocks beneath, which stand
As ineffable as Time, as they repulsed the waves
That sullenly advanced and then fell back
To gather strength and haul themselves in new attack,
While wind and cloud scud by like fleeting DeathThe sea itself is many long-forgotten graves.
My soul was gripped by sudden urge to slip
Away from life, with all its futile strife and bloody war,
To end existence once for all on that distant rocky floor
A hundred feet below. . . . The waves would be my shroudWhen suddenly appeared across the wind-swept slope
A grey-clad figure which, from the flying cloud
Of high-flung spray, approached and unexpectedly disturbed
My final thoughts of life untenable and abandoned hope.
He also looked below and slowly sh'ok his head.
"Nice place for a suicide !" he said ; ''but not for me.
Life holds too much for that—a coward's way !"
And then, "Good day !" and, stumbling out of view,
Vanished as he spirit-like had come, around• the lee.
I took another look at tortured rocks and swirling green;
While the thoughts departed, ne'erto come anew,
I breathed a prayer of thanks and escaped the scene.
AUSTRALIA AND ITS WAR EFFORT.
1
By Courtesy of the Department of Information.
(TO
How much do you know about the effort that Australia is making
toward winning this war against Nazism—against a nietiace more real
and terrible than any the history books show ?
Too often the citizen who is not immediately connected with war
activity is inclined to assess ''war effort" by the number of uniforms he
sees in the streets, or by the reports of warlike activities that appear .in
newspapers.
But there is more to it than this. The effort the Commonwealth is
making is tremendous, but it is worthy. Recently, a party inspecting the
factory of the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation at Fisherman's Bend,
Melbourne, saw more than £700,000 worth of modern aeroplanes on the
Dec.9,1940.
THE
TORCH-BEARER.
137
From this factory another
factory floor, in all stages of manufacture.
£1,000,000 worth of aeroplanes had passed into the service of the Royal
Australian Air Force, and are now ready for action in several war theatres.
One completed aeroplane a day is coming from this vast workshop, where
3000 people are now employed, and soon the rate of production will be
stepped up enormously. Yet, three years ago, this factory did not exist.
The land on which it stands was a formless, swampy waste. There were
then people who said that it would take Australia ten to fifteen years to
learn the art of aircraft building and engine production.
Australians, by their determination and by their ready adaptability,
have brought about a result that has not been bettered in any part of the
world, although many countries are older and richer than we are in
industrial experience. This is a fact that should bring a new pride of
race to every Australian.
In 1914, Australia did not produce sufficient

in factories and annexes—annexes are factories set up either at the cost
of the Government or a ''parent" firm specifically for the manufacture of
munitions, and which are situated on the property of the parent firm and
entirely managed and operated by it—all over Australia, we are producing
shells, guns, trench mortars, machine guns, bombs, machine gun-carriers,
rifles, bullets, and a host of other implements of war, not only for ourselves, but for supply to Britain and to other parts of the Empire. This
has meant a tremendous effort of organisation and of workmanship, but
once again the will and the wit of Australians have been equal to it.
To-day we are in reality an arsenal of the Empire.
Our Australian Imperial Force, which inherits the tradition of the
Australian Imperial Force of 1914-1918, described by Mr. Churchill,
Britain's Prime Minister, as the best force of fighting men in the world,
stands ready for action in the Middle East and in Britain, while reinforcem en ts are in arshalled, in Australia.
The tremendous and rapid growth of our Royal Australian Air Force
—nearly 33,000 men, air crew and ground staff, have been selected for
service since the w'ar began, and there is already a waiting list of about
13.000—and the part it is playing, and will play, in the Empire Air
Scheme, are important features of our war effort.
Australia has produced some of the world 's greatest. fliers.
The
RA.A.F. units that have been serving for so long with Britain's Air
Force have done magnificently, and we can believe with confidence in
the ability of our new airmen to add fresh glory to the Australian tradition.

have armed five ships as merchant cruisers, 30 as auiliary war vessels,
and more than 150 merchant vessels have been armed for their own defence
and manned with gunners from the Royal Australian Volunteer Reserve.
Minesweepers are active day and night around our coasts to protect ships
that take supplies to Britain from our vast storehouse of natural products,
and to make certain that our soldiers and airmen journey oversea in
security; warships of the Australian Fleet have escorted our men across
the waters, and day and night their vigilance is maintained.
Now we are building more and more ships of war in Australia. We
are even building patrol vessels for Great Britain.
This is a splendid record for a country of only 7,000,000 people, and
it does not tell one-half the story of private and public striving to guard
our freedom.
ATHLETICS.
This year has seen a change in the management of Athletics in both Training
and Competitive fixtures. In the first term, three days a week were set aside
for special training and coaching. N
This year there have been more School and Inter-School meetings than 'in
previous years. In Term I. there were two fixtures—one for the Ilird and
Lower IVth Forms, and one for the Upper IVth, Vth and VIth Forms. Both
these meetings were held with the object of carrying out the ideas behind the
"Physical Efficiency" Scheme.
The 49th Annual Athletic Sports were held at the Northbridge Memorial
Grounds on Saturday, 17th August. S. H. Suhan did particularly well in the
senior events, and won the School Championship by a clear margin W. R.
Lambell won the Junior Championship, J. J. Coghian the Under 15 Championship,
and the under 14 Championship was won by H. P. M. Forbes, whilst the Under 13
Championship was shared by C. F. Ferguson and R. I. Mitchell., The Mile Cup
was won by J. W. F. Bell. The result of the House Competition was School,
105 Robson, lOu Barry, 76 ; and Hodges, 26.
As the Annual G.P.S. Sports were not held this year, we earned on InterSchool fixtures. In all, there were four triangular matches. The first of these
was against Trinity Grammar School and Waverley College, held at Trinity on
September 28. Our team was stronger than the others, it winning by a fair
margin from T.G.S. On Frida.y, October 4, at Northbridge, we met T.K.S. and
S.G.S. Shore won comfortably from S.G.S. On Wednesday, October 9, we met
S.J.C. and T.S.C. at Northbridge. This was the closest match of the season,
S.J.C. winning from Shore. On Wednesday, October 16, the final match was
D2c. 9,1940.

held at Northbridge against S.U.A.C. and Newington College. S.U.A.C. were far
too strong for our team, and had little difficulty in beating it, with N.C. third.
A notable feature of all these matches was the friendly competition. In all
Inter-School matches, Shore was first in the total points in the senior events.
The juniors showed much promise this year.
On Saturday, October 12, a number of athletes from this School competed
in the N.S.W. State Schoolboys' Championships at the Sydney Sports Ground.
In the under 20 events, S. H. Suhan won the 880 yards in 2 mins. 3 secs. and
the 440 yards in 51 sees. A. V. Maxwell won the 120 yards hurdles in 15 9-10 sees.
L. W. Davies won the under 18 high jump at 5 ft. 9) ins., and the hop, step and
jump with 41 ft. 8 1 ins. J. W. F. Bell won the under 20 mile in 4 mins. 48J secs.
R. Carter won the under 17 440 yards in 54i sees., and J. J. Coghlan the under
15 100 yards in 104 sees.

SCHOOL ATHLETIC SPORTS.
On Saturday, 17th August, the School Athletic Sports were held at Northbridge.
The day was dismal, the wind blowing consistently and rain coming down
spasmodically.
S. H. Suhan was the outstanding athlete, winning the 100 yards, 220 yards,
440 yards, and 880 yards, to gain the Senior Cup with 32 points. Cadell was
second in the Senior Cup with 19 points, and Carter third with 15 points.
The mile was won by Bell, who ran well, and fully deserved his victory.
Maxwell and Wearne again held their hurdles and shot putt titles respectively,
and Davies won the open high jump.
Lambell was the under 16 Cup winner, whilst Coghian and Forbes were the

COMBINED ATHLETW FIXTURE.
This year it was decided not to hold the usual combined athletic fixture at
the Sydney Cricket Ground. In its place the School arranged a series of contests
with other schools, a procedure which enabled a wider programme to be carried
out, and also enabled two or three boys per school to compete in each event,
instead of the one boy as in the G.P.S. Combined Meeting; thus a far greater
number of boys could obtain a full athletic season of running, etc., with coaching.
Maxwell was an active and enthusiastic Captain of Athletics, and Suhan and
others assisted him. The results of the series of meetings showed that this year
we had a very good all-round senior team which would have taken a good deal
of beating, and which only lost to the S.U.A.C. in the matches held. Maxwell,
Stthan, Davies, Wearno, Paterson, Venn-Brown, Shaw, Bell, Carter, and ShelleyJones all performed well in all the contests, Maxwell creating a School record
for the hurdles of 15.7 secs. v. S.U.A.C. and N.C.
The junior team, although there were some good performers in it, was not
strong throughout, and many of the younger boys in the School did not make
as much use as they might have done of the opportunities offered for coaching
and training. The Committee looks for an improvement in the interest of junior
boys in athletics next year, for it is in the early stages that foundations for future
success are laid.
The meetings held were as follows
1 .... V. T.G.S. and Christian Brothers, Waverley, at Summer Hill.
Result : Shore, 125 points, 1 ; T.G.S., 2.
2 ..... .... .... ........................ v. T.K.S. and S.G.S., at Northbridge.
Seniors Shore, 92 ; King's, 71 ; Grdm'mar, 28k.
Juniors Grammar, 91 ; Shore, 86 ; King's, 20.
3 .... .... .... .... .... October 9th—v. S.J.C. and T.S.C., at Northbridge.
Senior : Shore, 82.3 St. Joseph's, 65.3 ; Scots, 41.3.
Juniors : St. Joseph's, 75 ; Scots, 71 ; Shore, 54.
4 .... .... .... .... .... October 16th—v. S.U.A.C. and N.C., at Northbridge.
Seniors : S.U.A.C., 105 ; Shore, 70 ; N.C., 14.
Juniors : Shore, 124 ; N.C., 76.
Against G.P.S. Schools the senior team scored 244.9 points as against 219.9
and the junior team scored 264.5 points against 333.
One most enjoyable feature common to all these meetings was the bonhomie
and good spirit prevailing, giving almost a picnic tone to the functions, and quite
different to the atmosphere attached to the G.P.S. meeting.

INTER-HOUSE ATHLETIC SPORTS.
On Wednesday, 21st August, an Inter-House Sports Meeting was held at
Northbridge. On the preceding Monday there were a high jump and a broad
jump held at the School.
On Wednesday, two boys from each House were eligible for each of the
events, which were 100 yards and 220 yards races for all boys under 19, 18, 17,
16, 15 and 14 respectively. Some 330 yards races were also run for younger boys.
A cross-country race was run to the Castlecrag district and back for seniors and
juniors. The shot putt and high jump were available for everybody's use. In
all there were 44 races of 100 yards and 37 of 220 yards, eight boys (with a few
exceptions) running in each race. The final points were Barry House, 364 ; School, 330 ; Robson, 256 ; Hodges,
166.

The standard of crews this year appeared higher than that of previous years.
This is probably due to the fact that the eight crews had four boats with which
to train instead of the usual two.
We have received the loan of one racing eight, a practice eight, a light four,
and a tub pair from the University. Oars were also given with the boats. This
went towaids making up the much needed equipment for Berry's Bay, and, thanks
to the untiring efforts made by Mr. Burrell, the shed has reached a standard of
which its members must be proud.
The members of the Club at Berry's Bay are contributing 1/- per week
towards the repair of boats, and also improvements to the shed. It is very
rratifying to see such keenness displayed by all newcomers to the sport. At
present there are one eight, two light fours, and four heavy fours preparing for
the Picnic Regatta.
The Picnic Regatta is to be held on the 30th November over the last half-mile
of the old G.P.S. course only under the lee of Towns' Boat Shed. The proceeds
will go towards the War Fund.
On Saturday, 16th November, the School entered an eight and a four in the
Police—Sydney Regatta. The eight came third behind Haberfield and Police, and
the four put up a very plucky effort to be defeated by the Police by one length.
The results are quite satisfactory, considering the amount of training that had
been done.
TENNIS NOTES.
FAJEWATER CUP.
During this term the annual match against Sydney Grammar School for the
- Fairwater Cup was played at the Lawn Tennis Ground. In the senior division
the rubbers were equal, while the juniors were easily beaten by the Grammar
juniors, who were very strong. The result was in doubt until almost the last
rubber, Grammar eventually winning by 10 rubbers to 6. - The scores were :-

On account of water restrictions, it has not been possible to provide cricket
facilities for all the boys this term. Form matches had - to be abandoned, but
we were able to provide regular practices during the week and matches on
Saturday for eleven School teams. Considering the difficulties, the condition of
grounds and wickets at Northbridge and at the School was wonderfully good.
The 1st XI., on.account of a weakness in bowling, was hardly as impressive
as during first term. The loss of Lang and Read was felt considerably, and,
apart from. Wearne, the bowling this term was not convincing. Even Wearne
suffered from having to do too much work, and the boisterous winds that he
encountered almost every Saturday did not suit his bowling. Still his perfor-

mances were first class. Marchant suffered from the fact that he has grown
several inches. in height recently, and has not yet succeeded in making the
necessary adjustments in his delivery, and his length has been inaccurate. He
still gives promise of being a very good bowler. Wilson and Irving, promoted
to the team this term, tried very hard, and improved a good deal in control.
The fielding has been keen and fairly dependable. Deamer and Kraefft were
as good as ever Butler made a great improvement, and should be first class
next year ; Wearne set a good example of tireless work ; and no one fell far
below standard. In, this respect the team was much better than in first term
and much easier for the captain to handle. Dunsmore's wicketkeeping was at
times good, but it was not as reliable as it had been last season.
The batting was better than in first term, and the improvement was general
rather than particular. Emery was consistent throughout, but most members
came to light with runs at some time during the season. Godwin and Smith,
going in fairly late, were dependable when runs were wanted. Deamer had a
good term, and, if luck had been with him, might easily have done better.
The team enjoyed all its games, and in the two-day matches was unbeaten
for the year. Against King's, however, the main game was inconclusive, and in
a one-day match they, beat us comfortably.
The 2nd XI. was younger than usual, but contained some promising players,
and most of this team will be back next year. In the lower grades, too, there
are many boys certain to develop into good players.
It was fitting that Wearne should captain the side during his last term at
school. To him more than to any other individual can be attributed the success
of our teams for the past two seasons. It will probably be a long time before
we have a more capable and courageous bowler or a more cheerful and happy
sportsman.

Scots started off in fine style, Weller, a newcomer, batting very well for a
bright 82. On the second day, Wearne dismissed the remainder, taking 7 for 88,
and Scots were all out for 238.
Shore, in their second innings , totalled 220 before closing, of which Emery
scored a chanceless 109 and Smith 58 not out. This gave Scots 303 runs to get
in three hours.
Scots started badly, due to the fine bowling of Irving, who finished with 6
for 61. At one stage Scots had lost 4 for 28, but were able to avert an outright
defeat by one wicket. Thus Shore won on the first innings by 83 runs.

v. Newington College.—Played at Northbridge on November 23.
The first day's play had to be abandoned. The second day found Newington,
after winning the toss, batting on a perfect wicket. Their openers started well,
Curtis scoring 70 runs before being dismissed. However, rain fell and made the
wicket very easy. Newington went on to make 182 before closing with 7 wickets
down. Wearne took S for 49 and Wilson 1 for 34.
Shore had very little chance of obtaining a first innings win, due to the bad
state of the wicket, and thus batted out time, finishing with 4 down for 65, the
il
match- ending in a draw. 'l'his left Shore once again the most successful of the G.P.S. teams for the
s3cotld year in succesion.

9th and 10th XI.'s.
In spite of dry conditions, many of the usual matches were played. Paterson ,
Morell, W. P. Nelson, Warby, Coward, Palmer and Taplin scored well on
occasions, while Wansey, Lawrie and Paterson ii. all bowled creditably. Net
practices were fairly well attended. Morell, Lawrie and Cormack were promoted to the 6th XI. Morrell, Wansey and P. G. Coward captained mbst successfully. The batting standard of the 10th XI. has been unusually low this
season, this undoubtedly being due to the fact that the better players are continually being n,.oved into higher teams. It is obvious that the result of such
sifting should be most noticeable at the end of the year.
PREPARATORY SCHOOL NOTES.
The Chapel.—Addresses were given by the Chaplain, and one by Mr.
Anderson at a special service on Armistice Day. On occasions the singing
has been good, though more effort might have been made by the "50 Choir."
ometirnes the Lesson reading was excellent.
Music.—The ''50 Choir" has been doing good work, practising songs
ancient and modern, besides a few rounds in three and four parts. The
"A" section sang the best. Owing to the term's full programme, the.
intended concert in School House did not c=6 off. A concert provided
by the Swingtet in aid of war funds was greatly' aVppreciated.
PIays.—Under Mr. Brierley, a play has been prepared by hA., and
we look forward to seeing this performed. ''The Brass i)oor-Knob" was
a great success, and congratulations go to R. Meikle and R. rpiley . Mr.
Brierl.ey, the producer, was well rewarded by the performance.
Art.—There is much talent, and great strides have been made by the
more industrious. Jamieson, Valder, Cameron and Studdy have worked
the best. Far more work should be attempted out of school, if talent is
to he developed. Several boys in Form I. show marked ability.
Mr. McWilliam.—We welcome hack Mr. M. McWilliam after his most
eventful trip to England.

Two youthful organisations, Ferris Ltd. and
even better this term.
C. R. Theatres, have handed in good sums from time to time. A fête
organised by two Remove boys, Brigden and Mackintosh, resulted in a
donation of £7, while another fête run by Studdy, :Ffard'ick, and others
brought in the splendid sum of £15. These efforts are particularly praiseworthy. rrh e whol Preparatory School also made an effort in the sale
of concert tickets.
Boarders' Acfivities.—A most enjoyable launch trip on the Lane Cove
and Parramatta Rivers was he].d on House Regatta day. Keen disappointment was felt at the postponement of the annual camping week-end,
but it is hoped to hold it later. Our thanks are due to Mr. J. Williams
for showing us a most interesting set of films taken on a recent world tour.
Physical 1'raining.We have again taken up our regular iouti ne of
physica.l drill and organised games uridei Mr. Sellick, while a special squad
is training with a view to giving a display later in the term.
PREPARATORY SCHOOL ATHLETICS.
The Annual Athletic Sports were held at Northbridge on 10th October, before
an interested crowd of parents and other spectators. The programme was a
rather full one, so that, although heats had been held previously, the majority
of the boys in the School took part.
Some good performances.werewitfleSSed. G. R. J. Coghlan and J. A. Bulmer
being outstanding in the open events. Coghlan won the broad jump and high
jump, and took third place in the 100 yards, thus gaining the Victor Ludorum
Challenge Trophy, which is the trophy awarded to the senior champion athlete.
Bulmer won the 100 yards and 200 yards. Other winners of championship events
were :100 Yards, under 12 : I. L. Watson.
High Jump, under 12: J. G. Hyland.
100' Yards, under 11: N. J. Davey.
75'Yards, under 10 : G. G. Hawker.
Davies Quarter won both the junior and senior relays, and Baker Quarter
won the "B" relay.
Davies Quarter easily won the Quarter. competition from Baker, the point
score being : Davies, 41 ; Baker, 18 ; Hall, 14 ; and Linton, 11.
During the term several boys took part in the inter-school contests of the
Senior School in the under. 12 years and under 13 years events. These competitors
included I. L. Watson, H. L. Pulling D. J. Bowe, G. R. J. Coghian, D. H. Playfair,
J. A. Bulmer, J. G. Hyland and E.. W. Carr.
PREPARATORY SCHOOL CRICKET.

week. Although on occasions no middle wicket has been available, we have
taken the advantage of this by giving more time to fielding and bowling practices,
which, as a result, have improved generally.
On account of the usual practice wickets or nets being unavailable, vigoro
and rounders have been enjoyed by the remainder of the School, and, if nothing
else is achieved, it has been excellent exercise, and, we hope, the making of a
good eye for cricket in the future.
As will be seen from the results of our matches, we had a most successful
term. We have been fortunate enough to field a particularly good all-round
1st and 2nd Xl. Perhaps not so much so individually, but as teams both elevens
have been something we shall be proud to remember; they have played as a
team in every sense of the word, and with keenness and enthusiasm. The fielding
and bowling throughout the year is worthy of mention, as it has been above the
average' in both teams.
We shall hope to hear some good reports of boys who are leaving us to go
into the Senior School next year. To these boys we wish to take this opportunity of wishing them all good luck for their success at cricket in the future.
The first round of Quarter matches have been played. Judging from the
narrow wins Davies and Linton have had from Baker and Hall respectively, the
semi-final and final games should prove very interesting.
The following boys deserve special mention for the consistent way they have
played throughout the year :Batting: D. H. Playfair, Crane, Suhan, Warby, R. C. Bowe, E. W. Carr,
G. Thornton, Watson.
Bowling: Bennett, Turner, Warby, Crane, Solling.
Fielding : Crane, Playfair, Coghlan, Warby.
The Colts and Trials this term have played several matches, and, although
only winning one of their games, they have always given a good account of themselves, as their opponents have nearly always been a stronger and bigger side.
We have every reason to believe that we shall have several promising cricketers
In our 1st and 2nd Xl's next year from these junior cricketers. The best players
include A. J. West, Blackett, Lee, Hyland, Shaw, Davey and Hawker.

At its first meeting on 7th November, the Committee co-opted Messrs.
W. Sawkins and K. D. Anderson of the School Staff.
All Old Boys were',eeply moved by the news of the death ofergeant
Major F. J. Davidson on October 2. It seemed that something both
irreplaceable and essential had been lost to the School, for, as onc Old Boy
said, the S.M. was as much a part of the School as the School Tower.
Many letters of sympathy were received at the School, all testifying
to the very high place Onkus ( ?) held in the affections of Old Boys.
Many of us remember that exceptionally finc speech he made at our Annual
Dinner in 1938. Others remember some little incident concerned with
the S.M., or some peculiar though lovable characteristic. But our most
lasting memory is of a man whose physique and character were remarkably
alike. He was at all times as straight as a die—his character as upright

as his fine bearing. Nothing that we can say or write will do as much
justice to this remarkable man as the very moving address given by the
Headmaster in the Chapel service. It is reprinted in the School portion
of this issue.
In his passing, the School has lost a loyal servant and the Old Boys
a true friend.
At the end of thisissue we publish a list of all Old Boys who have
enlisted in the Navy, A.I.F., R.A.A.F., and other branches of His Majesty's
Forces on active service. The list is as complete and as accurate as we
can make it, but there must be many omissions and perhaps some errors.
We therefore ask all readers to go through the list thoroughly, and advise
the Secretary as to further information or amendments. Additional
names, changes in rank, transfers to other units, fuller particulars—all
such information will be welcomed. To those Old Boys and parents who
have already assisted us in this regard, we tender our thanks.
At the Annual Meeting of the Old Boys' Union held on 4th October,
1940, the following amendment was made to our Constitution :-' 'The
subscription of all members on active service abroad shall he waived for
all years subsequent to their enlistment until their discharge or transfer
to a unit for Home Defence; and, in the case of a member embarking for
overseas prior to 4th May in any year, his subscription for that year shall
also be waived if it shall be unpaid on that date. Provided also that the
Committee 'shall have discretion to waive annual subscriptions for any
members serving in any of His Majesty's Forces in Australia."
We received an interesting letter from Guy Harriott, War Correspondent with the A.I.F. He writes
A pleasing feature of a job not always easy has been the number of Old Boy5
I have met in the A.I.F. over here and their ready good fellowship. I have been
hailed by them in all sorts of'places—officers' messes, men's canteens, and Tel
Aviv night-clubs. I think the School has representatives in pretty well every
branch of the Army, and, of course, in the R.A.N.,' which has already made a
name for itself through the exploits of the "Sydney" and the "Hobart." .
I met Lieut. Freddy Taylor, Head Prefect in 1929. Two of the senior medicine
men at the Australian General Hospital here are Old Boys—Major Neil Francis
and Major Lorimer Dods. . . . Major R. H. Russell, of the Field Ambulance,,
has been trying to organise an Old Boys' Dinner. . . . A man who is doing a
difficult and thankless job with a tact which has won him a host of friends
is D.A.P.M. Captain Godfrey Hawker. . . . Three of my shipmates on the first
convoy coming over were Ron. Willmott and Bill Travers, lieutenants, and
R. H. Bourke with a corporal's stripes up. Jika Travers is over here, of course,
too, and the brothers have made a name for themselves in A.I.F. sporting circles.
Lleut. Les. Calman was a little difficult to recognise at first, as he has camouflaged

himself with a moustache of really formidable proportions. . . . Up to date, hard
training has been the order of the day for all ranks—nothing spectacular, but
plenty of solid work—and the troops are as fit and tough as men can be. They
are all as keen as mustard to get into the "real thing." When that will be,
Heaven—and the Olympians at Middle East Headquarters—alone know."
Guy Harriott and another Old Boy, Kenneth Slessor, the Commonwealth Official 'War Correspondent, at present in England, both carry the
rather odd grading of "officer without rank."
Colonel T. A. J. Playfair, D.S.O., O.B.E., V.D., was recently appointed
Commander of the Royal Artillery, 2nd Division.
Ian Esplin has graduated from his R.A.F. training school with the
rank of Pilot OfIicer, having passed exceptionally well, it seems. He has
been posted to an Instructors' class.
Stan. Welch also did very well in his Elementary Flying Training at
Mascot, coming top of his class. He is now with the R..A.A.F. in Canada
completing his training.
Norm. Stokes, who is with the A.I.F. in England, is now in the
"Fighting 72nd," and has been transferred from M.G. Carriers' Platoon
to Battalion H.Q. Intelligence. His entry into this distinguished arm of
the service was celebrated by a week's trench-digging. Norm's letters to
the writer of these Notes contain some first class descriptions of English
countryside, cathedrals, etc., and it is hoped that we shall have space to
reproduce some of his literary gems in succeeding issues.
B. B. J. Smith has been selected N.S.W. Rhodes Scholar for 1941.
He entered the Faculty of Seiene in 1937 with a Public Exhibition. In
1938 and this year he was awarded a blue for rowing, and is vice-captain
of the University Boat Club. He is a lieutenant in the Sydney University
Regiment. For six months Brian has been doing research work on natural
products at the University, and he intends to do research in chemistry
when he goes to Oxford;The congratulations of the Old Boys' Union have been conveyed to
Mr. Justice Dudley Williams on his recent appointment to the High Court
of Australia.
The annual cricket matches against' the School will take place on
15th February next. The Union hopes to field three teams, and those
who will be available are asked to send their names to the Secretary on
or before 11th February.
The Torch-Bearer has been cut down in the interests of economy.
A good suggestion for further economy has been made by an Old Boy to
the effect that members who have sons at the School should send their
164

names to the Secretary offering to forego issues of The Torch-Bearer "for
the duration." Those who are willing to do this as a war-time economy
should inform the Secretary if their sons leave the School, so that the
posting of copies of The Torch-Bearer to them can be resumed.
We trust we are not disclosing information of value to the enemy
when we say that there are 144 one-pint Wedgwood mugs with the School
Crest in colours somewhere on the high seas on their way to Sydney.
We advise an early application to the Secretary.
A recent letter from London from P. H. Shirley (1924-29) contains
an open invitation to any Old Boys who are free for a few hours or days
to visit him at ''Meadow Cottage," 'Windsor Lane, Woburn Green, Bucks.
We have heard that Jika Travers has been appointed A.D.C. to MajorGeneral I. G. Mackay.
S.C.E.G.S. OLD BOYS' CLUB.
A good attendance of members at the Club has been maintained
throughout the year, and the Committee has been pleased to see that many
members now in the various Forces have made a point of using the Club
while they have been in-the city.
The coming year promises to be a difficult one financially, as more
than seventy members are now on the Active Service List, which entitles
them to a remission of all subscriptions until their discharge. Accordingly
it is hoped that the membership list will he considerably increased by a
large number of the boys who leave School this year, as well as by other
Old Boys who have not up till now become members.
Boys leaving school this year who wish to join should see Mr. Pascoc,
who can supply them with full information and entry forms. Special
concessions are available to them, if application is made within four months
of the end of the School year, when no entrance fee is charged, and a
subscription of £1111- covers the years 1941 and 1942.
