Editorial Notes ~ __ ~ . __ - Yo]. SXVII, No. 1. March, 1940. ~~~ __- ~ ~ ~-- . Editorial Notes. Aluch might bc written of the natural phenomena of the past term and of their effect on School life; of the great snow and the great frost, of the lack of football, of frozen ink, of measles (the fashionable German sort) which have decimated our attendances, and of many other things. We might enliven our story by referring to the two earnest pupils who were frozen into their railway carriage and were forced to travel to School by way of Alton. But no, let us forget the sad past and its tribulations, and devote a few words here to that pleasant function at the end of the Christmas Term-the Concert. Under the inspiring direction of Mr. Crute, it was a happy occasion, a roaring success. Much talent was discovered, great initiative was shown and a good time was had by all. This cannot be a full account and no names will be given of those who played or sang or talked; but we look forward to more of these pleasant entertainments, produced in the Hall by the School for the School. Indeed, as we write, another is planned, and by the . time these notes are read, Widow Twanky should have made her bow. We hope to tell you about it next term. Congratulations to the following boys who were successful in the January Matriculation Examination of London University: T. J. Booth and A. St. C. Garrood. The name of J. W. Stoyle was omitted from these notes last term by mistake. We should have included him among those who have left School for the University; he is an undergraduate of Queen Mary College, which at present is sojourning at Cambridge. At the end of the term we lost the Captain of the School, A. St. C. Garrood, who is also now at Queen Mary College. Good wishes to both. The following are the School Officers this term:-- Prefects.-M. C. Colwill (Captain), W. 5. Baker (Vice-Captain), G. H. Hawkins, K. C. W. James and G. J. R. Wilkinson. Sub-Prefects.-D. B. Boulter, J.

Canon Crum was for years a Governor of the School during the time that he was Rector of Farnham, and the characteristic address which he gave us after Mrs. Crum had presented the prizes must have reminded many of those present of old times. Once again, after listening to the Head- master's comprehensive report on the many activities of the School, scholastic and athletic (not forgetting the Old Boys), there was no doubt as to the valuable work being done and confidence in our future. Gratitude must once more be expressed for the kindness of the Directors of the Regal (Farnham), Lfd., in allowing us . to use the County Cinema. PRIZE-WINNERS. FORMPRIZES. Junior.-l, J. D.

A Preliminary Meeting of €he Society was held on October 27th to elect a Secretary and Committee, and to arrange debates for the term. On November 3rd Mr. Baker proposed the motion that “ Propaganda in war-time is more effective than weapons.” The power of propaganda, he said, lay in i€s insidious effect upon enemy morale. Mr. Hawkins, opposing the motion, said that deeds, and not words, could win a war. The motion was carried by 10 votes to 8. The motion that “Entertainment should not be curtailed in war-time” was proposed by hlr. Garrood on November 17th. He said that entertainment and relaxation were particularly essential in times of stress. In opposing the motion, Mr. Wilkinson stressed the great need at the present time for economy. The motion was carried by 23 vntes to 3. On December 1st Mr. Colwill proposed the motion thaf “ The Press shonld not be muzzled in war-time.” He said that freedom of the Press and the right to criticize ought to be maintained, since they were the very things for which we were fighting. Mr. James, in opposing the motion, said that the effect of bad news upon public morale was very great. The motion was carried by 9 votes to 6. The last meeting of the term was held on December 14th, and consisted of three short debates. A General Meeting of the Society was held on January 12th to :I rrange the term’s debates. The first of these took place on January 19th, when Mr. James proposed the motion that “ Co-education is €he best form of educa- 4 THE FARSHAMIAN. -~ . - ~- tion.” He said that this form of education was practised in most foreign countries, but tradition had prevented its general intro- duction here. Mr. Digby said that there was bound to be lack of concentration on the work; moreover, discipline could not be maintained since the classes were very large. The motion was defeated by 15 votes to 4. That “The athlete does more for the benefit of his fellow-men than the scholar,” was proposed by hIr. Reeks on February 9th. He said that the athlete prevenled the race from degenerating physically. Mr. Cripps, who spoke against the motion, said that the scholar, and the scientist particularly, rendered great services to mankind in their discoveries. The motion was carried by 8 Totes to 5. The final meeting of the term was held on March Sth, three short debates concluding the activities of the Society for the year. G. J. R. WILKINSON. Photographic Society. Last term did not see much activity in our Society because we no longer had our dark room. It had always been rather damp, and it was now commandeered as a place of storage for unwanted desks. So in the end we decided to liquidate the Society. But photographic “doings” could not be suppressed so easily and so a few ex-members got together towards the end of last term to get the Society on its legs again. Mr. Lock was unable to be the active head once more, but we still have his moral support and technical advice when required. We held a meeting one Friday dinner hour to elect the necessary officers, and it was then that we decided to hold a cinema show in the spring term. We also came to the conclusion that no subscriptions would be necessary until we could use the dark room again. This term we held two more meetings, which centred mainly around the cinema show, which came off on Friday, January 26th.

The cost of running Surrey History Centre is met within the Library and Cultural Services Department and the proposed cut in the annual budget for the whole department from £8.7m to £4.0m would, if implemented, have a dramatic effect on every aspect including Surrey History Centre. Many of us work with or make use of the Surrey County Council services under review and know the quality of the staff and how greatly research by ourselves and others will be affected if the proposed cuts go ahead. It would be a sad state of affairs if a county such as our own cannot adequately provide services such as these that enhance the quality of life and sense of place for all our residents and visitors.

  • Wrecclesham Sport
    18. WRECCLESHAM SPORT. It is perhaps surprising that a small village like Wrecclesham should so consistently provide and nurture a range of high performers and in a number of sports. The Farnham Wall of fame in South Street provides recognition for four top sports performers, all internationals, who have lived and developed their talents in the village. In comparison the performance of the Wrecclesham village teams is somewhat modest. However the opportunity they provide for local young people is important. Sporting achievement in Wrecclesham dates back to the 18/19th Century. It was then more or less confined to cricket. There were very few other sports identified as present in the village at this time. It must be remembered that the main occupation of the male members of the community was in agriculture. The men were hard working and probably had little time or energy for recreation. If anything the women worked even harder in the homes and with the children and there were few creature comforts. No electricity, no television, radio, central heating or motor cars. Water had to be gathered from wells or streams and the overall health of the population was generally as poor as their wealth. One thing of which there was no shortage was public houses; there were five in the Street,1 and three more on the fringe of the village. The men clearly spent a lot of time, and what little money they earned in these hostelries. Many of the publicans were also farmers and they were said to have often paid their workers in liquid form.
