,l Scl1ool Penuant.-�At the suggestion of an Old Boy, a School Pennant in the school colours, Red, White and Blue, has been adopted. •rile Pennant is two feet long, with a base eight inches. On a blue uack ground stands out the School badge in the school colours, with tile school motto on a scroll beneath, and to the right the name •·south land," in white. Altogether, the effect is good. Those who saw the advauce sample admired the design. As most readers of American books and spectators of American films already know, the School Pennant plays a large part in American schools and colleges. It is generally seen adorning the walls of a study or bedroom. '11.,le feel sure that Old Boys, as well as 1;resent boys, will desire to have this emblem of association with the school. The supply is now to hand andA is obtainable at the School from Mr :\fat. Alexander. Price, 2/-. It is also obtainable in Duneclin from �Ir J. P. Donald, Knox College. Wellington agent will be appointed in due course. 'l'he Late Hon. R. McNab, M,P.-On February 7th the School [lag flew at half-mast to mark the School's respect to the passing of a distinguished Southlander, the late Honourable Robert McNab, M.A., LI ,.D. He was to have distributed the prizes at the annual ceremon:· in DecembPr, and was in town for that purpose, but at the last moment had to leave hurriedly for Wellington on departmental business; so we had not the pleasure of his address or presence. The late Dr ;\lcNab was not au Old Boy or the School, but his four younger brothers were. None the less he evinced a warm interest in us, and in all mat ters appertaining to the welfare of Southland. He was a man of a broad, generous mind, who gave bis services to New Zealand. He was particularly serviceable in his researches into the early history of our settlements, in the whaling days before the Treaty of Waitangi. He had made himself the New Zealand Hakluyt-<:ollecting and editing the 6 7 SCHOOL NEWS.
