Vol. III AUTUMN 1953 No. 17 , FOREWORD By The Headmaster

Fr WAS not to be expected that the renaissance of initiative and adventure, spread throughout our country and empire by the accession and coronation of our gracious and radiant young Queen, should be lacking in the School, and now, in this coronation issue of THE PEVERIL, we have visual evidence that it exists. The Editor and his assistants are to be congratulated on producing, out of their limited resources, a number worthy of the occasion.

But neither the School nor THE PEVERIL can rest there. We the readers of this magazine, will be living through the new Elizabethan Age, and it is for us and our contemporaries to ensure that the glories and achievements of this reign shall surpass those of the first 'Elizabeth. It is a very real responsi- bility that we must assume, and it is here at school that we must prepare ourselves for it. The future development of this school will show whether we are accepting the challenge. The way to do it is to acquire the habit of doing everything to the very best of our ability and so follow the resolute example set for us all by Her Majesty the Queen.

The task of THE PEVERIL is to reflect this spirit in the School, and let us hope that future editorial staffs will be encouraged by this special edition to seek continually for ways of making the school magazine a virile and progressive production. 1 THE PEVERIL Editor: B. HOCKEY. Sub-Editors: Mary Day Margaret Greaves P. Nicholls Art Sub-Editor: Mary Penny

Vol. I 1 I. No. 17 AUTUMN 1953

EDITORIAL THIS ISSUE follows the example of all the best magazines and periodicals, perhaps rather belatedly, in producing a special Coronation number, incorporating a number of photographs and drawings. Although this edition is produced in honour of Coronation Year, we feel that all that may usefully be said about the event itself has already been said. We ourselves have not been exempt from our little burst of patriotic fervour, in our last Editorial ; we prefer to present this issue of THE PEVERIL without undue emphasis on the occasion, but merely as a tribute to this year of pageantry and splendour. Perhaps we may be allowed to say that we are here immediately affected by the Coronation in that it has given us the chance to dig a little deeper into the School Council's kitty, to allow for the in- creased cost of this edition. One feature which we are particularly pleased to present in this edition is a foreword written by the Headmaster. It is felt that the inclusion of his message will impart a further function to THE PEVERIL, giving a stimulus to the School's efforts, and we hope that it may become a regular feature of the magazine. We also welcome the return of the Old Bartonians' report in this issue. We trust that (on the more mercenary side) the Association will subscribe to the magazine in force. 2 There is one thing on the gloomier side which we feel hound to say here. Although contributions were asked for on notice-boards throughout the School, the response from the Upper School has been thoroughly disappointing. We realise that the examinations have left little time and inclination for writing, and also perhaps many potential contributors have expended their literary talent in writing reports of Societies, but we feel it is unfortunate that so few of the older pupils have made the effort. So our turn arrives to vacate the Editorial chair (the only one in the Library with four legs of equal length) and to pass on into history. We take this opportunity of thanking our Editorial Staff for their invaluable assistance at all times, and for their hard work in preparing the magazine. We are also grateful to Mr. Sansbury for allowing us to reproduce his photographs, and to those members of the Upper Fifth who prepared the excellent drawings for this edition. B.R.H.

3 SCHOOL NOTESNOTES WE AREHadrill pleased to welcome to the School the Rev. H. F. , B.A., who has already taken up his duties in Religious Instruction, and the Rev. J. Lemrnon, who will join him as from the Autumn Term. We also welcome, after several years without a French " assistante," Mlle. A. Le Cann, whom we shall be " sharing " with North End School. After the suspense of the examinations, what we may light-heartedly term the Summer has brought the usual rush of excursions, the number of which seems to increase year by year. The venue of the Geographical Excursion this year was the Isle of Purbeck, while the Natural History Society and the Young Farmers' Club held a joint Field Day in the New Forest. Visits were also made to both the Natural History and the Science Museums. Theatre trips included visits to the Festival Ballet at Bournemouth, to "The Apple Cart" in London, and to the Brockenhurst County High School Coronation Pageant. All who took part in these excursions are grateful to the members of the Staff responsible for making the arrangements. Sports Day, May 20th, this year incorporated the School's Coronation celebrations. Teas were provided for parents and visitors, and in the evening exhibitions were arranged by various Societies, a public meeting of the School Council was held, and two play-readings presented, by the Lower and Upper Schools, followed by a musical concert. The School is to present one of the Coronation Trees for the projected Coronation Walk along the river by Fleming Park. The money for this has been raised by collection throughout the School. Collections were also taken on Sports Day for trees to be planted on the Playing Field in commemoration of the Coronation. Pupils took part in the ambitious and very successful Eastleigh Schools' Coronation Pageant, performing a scene showing the Prince Regent at Southampton, and a tableau depicting the death of Nelson. Scenery for the Pageant was constructed by Mr. Almond, and painted by Miss Jarvis.

5 A presentation was made on Sports Day to Mr. Dixon, in recognition of his work as groundsman, on his leaving the School to take a similar post at North End. The School, as is usual each Summer Term, has again helped to cement Anglo-French relations through the great influx of pupils' French pen-friends. It is noticeable that any difficulties with the less linguistic types may be safely dis- counted—" amour " just doesn't need translating!

HOCKEY Librarian: Miss M. DAY Postage Clerk: Miss N. WHITEHORN Technical Adviser: MR. S. A. LEBERN The main work of the Council this term has been the organisation of the Coronation activities and the most important meeting of the term was that held on Coronation Sports Day, May 20th. After the Chairman had welcomed the Mayor of Eastleigh (Councillor II. Goodsell) and the many parents, Old Bartonians and other friends of the School who were present, and the routine business had been dealt with, the Council decided that in future subscriptions should be col- lected at the beginning of the term and the privileges attaching to the payment of the subscription should be dependent on the payment of the current term's subscription. Hitherto they have necessarily been dependent on the payment of the previous term's. A motion aimed at preventing affiliated Societies from excluding certain sections of the School from membership was carried after a lively, and at times acrimonious, discussion. A large audience attended this meeting and witnessed something of the activities of a body which works hard to improve the social life of the School. A further resolution concerning subscriptions was made at a later meeting. It was decided that, as a transitional measure, those who have paid their subscription during the Summer Term will not be required to pay in the Autumn Term. Hence the new regulation will not come into full force until the beginning of the Spring Term. The Council also agreed to the production of a special issue of THE PEVERIL, a decision which involves drawing upon its reserves to meet the heavy additional cost. J.C.W. 8 ATHLETICS Secretary: N. Hart. OUR CORONATION Sports Day, held on May 20th, proved to be a great success. We were lucky enough to choose a fine day and as a result a large number of parents and friends were attracted. Only one record was beaten, but the standard reached was high. The Senior House Cup was won by Peel after Peak had won it for five years in succession. However, Peak retained the Junior House Cup, while the Portal House Cup was won by Barton. The Victrix and Victor Ludorum were Margaret Greaves, of Peak, and N. Hart, of Barton. Alma Willis and R. Evans, both of Peak, retained the titles of Junior Champions and Doreen Milker, of Peak, and R. Ilendley, of Peel, were the Portal Champions. The Cross-Country Cup was won by R. Warren and the Mile Cup went to M. Arnold. The trophies were presented at the end of the meeting by the Mayor (Councillor II. G. Goodsell). A handsome clock was presented to Mr. Dixon, the retir- ing groundsman, whose services were greatly appreciated. Our sincere thanks are due to Miss Webb and Mr. Barry for the hard work which they performed in arranging such a success ful Sports Day. RESULTS SENIOR BOYS 100 Yards ... N.

10 On June 5th the School was well represented in the East- leigh and District Sports at Fleming Park. In the Intermediate Section Warren won the Mile and the Long Jump, Hart won the 100 yards and 220 yards, while Witt was first in the Long Jump. Yvonne Trainor won the Girls' Intermediate High Jump. In the Junior Section Evans won the 220 yards and, as a result, was invited to run in the Hampshire Sports, where he obtained fourth place in the 220 yards. The School also attained a large number of second and third places in the District Sports. Colours were awarded to N. Hart and R. Evans. N.J.R.I I.

CRICKET Captain: B. Bunday. Vice-Captain: R. East. ONCE AGAIN the First XI has had a fairly successful season. Owing to had weather, a number of the matches had to be cancelled but in spite of this, seven matches were played. Of these three were won, one lost, and three drawn. The First XI consisted of B. Bunday, R. East, A. Veck, R. Gibson, J. Witt, J. Veck, M. Arnold, N. hart, A. Ames, D. Lowton, and P. Salkeld. P. Ruthen, C. Pearce and P. Hockey also played in certain matches. Colours were awarded to J. Veck and M. Arnold.

THE CRICKET TEAM Back row : P. Salkeld, A. Ames, M. Arnold, D. Lowton, A. Veck, P. Hockey, C. Arnold (scorer). Front row: J. Veck, R. East, B. Bunday (Captain), N. Hart, J. Witt. 11 The batting was generally of a high standard, East, Witt and J. Veck giving very good performances. They were well backed up by A. Veck and Gibson, while Bunday, Hart and Ames made some useful scores. Witt had the highest individual score of the season, 60 not out against Price's, and with J. Veck had the highest aggregate of the season, 153 with an average of 25.5. Most of the bowling again fell to Bunday and Hart, and both gave very good performances. They were supported by Gibson, Arnold and East, Arnold giving some particularly good performances with his slow leg-break bowling. Hart finished the season with the best analysis of 23 wickets for 158 runs. The fielding, particularly that close to the wicket, was of a very high standard. Arnold proved himself an excellent slip- fielder and J. Veck's wicket-keeping was of a consistently high standard. The team fielded more as a team this season, and it was particularly gratifying to see the ball being chased all the way to the boundary, and the fielders covering each other up. The Colts XI have also had a fairly successful season. Again bad weather intervened but neverthless four matches were played, of which two were won, one lost, and one drawn. The team consisted of D. Stratton, V. Bull, R. Thompson, R. Dale, B. Tubb, C. Arnold, P. Hockey, J. Holman, D. Kirby, T. Betteridge, and K. Gandy. Of these, Stratton, Hockey, Kirby, Betteridge and C. Arnold batted very well. Dale also made some good scores though unfortunately was only able to play in two matches. Stratton finished the season with the highest individual score of 47 and also the highest aggregate of 71, with an average of 23.9 runs. Most of the bowling fell to Bull, Stratton and Hockey and all bowled very well throughout the season. Stratton finished with the best analysis of 13 wickets for 48 runs. Stratton had the honour of being selected to play for Hampshire Colts on three occasions and proved himself quite capable in this class of cricket. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking on behalf of the teams the scorers and the girls who prepared the refreshments. RESU LTS 1st XI May 9—Brockenhurst 80 (Bunday 5 for 36).

B.D.B. 0 ROUNDERS Captain: Margaret Greaves Secretary: Mary Day NEITHER of the teams had much success this season. The first team, which consisted of Brenda Bunday, Ann Turner, Margaret Greaves, Barbara Southon, Janet Vince, Mary Notley, Dorothy Brew, Ann Mintram and Janet Greaves, with Elizabeth Noble, Ruth Sawyer and Carole Preedy playing very well on certain occasions, lost four out of five matches. Al- though many of the younger players will improve next year if given sufficient practice, there has been little strong batting this season. An exception was Ann Turner, who always batted well and, in combination with the very good bowling of Brenda Bunday, made an exceedingly reliable backstop. The Under 15 team also lost all but one of their matches, although they improved gradually during the term. The team was chosen from the following at various times : Mary Masters (Captain), Doreen Fulker, Pat Dennis, Judith Lowman Valerie Chambers, Sandra Bogie, Janette Watts, Ruth Sawyer•, Sylvia Pearce, Pamela Baker, Pat Quirk, Valerie Jolley, Violet Woods, Valerie Craik, and Jacqueline Piggott. These, too, fielded much more effectively than they batted. Doreen Fulker played well as backstop and Valerie Chambers showed great promise in her alert fielding. We congratulate Ann Turner on the award of her well- earned colours, so that she has now gained colours in two games while still in the Lower Fifth, a remarkable achievement. Colours were also awarded to Margaret Greaves. 13 RESULTS FIRST TEAM Date Opponents Venue Result May 2—St. Anne's ... Away Lost 5-8 „ 30—Andover ...

TENNIS Captain: Janet Delia Secretary: Mary Day THE TENNIS TEAM has had a disappointing season, winning only two of the seven matches played.

Front row: Pat Reed, Janet Delia (Captain), Judy Witt.

The failure to win matches must not be attributed to lack of enthusiasm but rather to the loss of a considerable number of games practices owing to the rainy weather and also to the fact that all members, with one exception, were new to the team this season. The Tennis Rose Bowl was won this season by Janet Greaves who beat Shirley Jurd 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. I should like, on behalf of the team, to thank all umpires and ball-boys for their services and Miss Webb for her help and advice throughout the term.

HOUSE NOTES BARTON Staff : Mrs. Porter, Mr. Lebern. Captains: Janet Delia, N. Hart. THIS YEAR has proved for Barton perhaps rather one of hope for the future than of achievement in the present. In Athletics Hart, who will still be with us during the coming year, was Victor Ludorum and the boys and girls in the Portal age-group carried off the I louse Cup, but in spite of the individual successes of Hart and some others, we failed to win either the Senior or the Junior Trophy. The same tendency can be observed in games. The hockey matches during the Spring Term resulted in two losses. The match against Peak was lost by three goals to nil and that against Peel by two goals to one after a very close game. The failure to win either match was due to the dearth of seniors in Barton and also we had only two members of the First XI hockey team representing the House. Janet Delia was Hockey Captain. Our netball results must not he attributed to lack of enthusiasm on the part of the players, who all did their best, but rather to the small numbers from which selection could be made. Now, however, we have just as many juniors as the other Houses and the team selected produced fairly good results. As these juniors will be our future seniors, we look forward to better results in years to come. Pat Reed was Net- ball Captain. The football match between Barton and Peak ended in a draw, 3-3, of which Morant scored two. This game was hard fought and a draw was a fair result. The match against Peel 16

was lost by 2-0, the main reason for the defeat being the lack of a good forward line. Ames, Parker, Philips and Hart were prominent in defence. The rounders scores were taken on first innings only owing to lack of time. The Junior team played very well, winning their section with eleven points. The Senior team, however, were not so successful, gaining only two and a half points. Marion Abraham was Rounders Captain. In Tennis the doubles pair won one match and lost the other, both being keenly contested. In the singles only one match has been played and resulted in a decisive victory of 7 games to 4 games. The total results therefore show a marked improvement on those of last year. Janet Delia was Tennis Captain. Our cricket team this summer was not nearly as good as that of past years. The match against Peel ended in defeat for Barton by seven wickets. However, the match with Peak was more successful, Barton scoring 40 for three wickets in reply to Peak's 77 for nine wickets. Barton were unfortunate in this match as they were given only 50 minutes to score 78 runs, while Peak enjoyed an hour and a half in compiling their total. All the bowling fell to Ames and Hart while Tubbs, a Second-former, batted extremely well in both matches. N.J.R.II., J.W.A.D.

PEAK Staff : Miss Jarvis, Mr. Sansbury. Captains: Margaret Greaves, R. East, J. Veck. The boys have had a moderately and the girls a very successful year, although the former relied largely on a few stalwarts and the latter cannot afford to be complacent, as the number of juniors has been sadly reduced by the drastic revision which was found necessary at the beginning of the year. This was exemplified in the netball matches. The senior team was lucky in possessing four members of the school first team and won both matches, although carelessness and over-confidence made the result of the match against Barton doubtful. The Junior team, captained by Ruth Sawyer, had several inexperienced members. They lost to Barton and drew with Peel, partly through nervousness. The hockey team was also well-stocked with members of . the School First XI. The Captain was Doreen Holder (House Vice-Captain) and her team had a very successful season, winning both games easily. They were particularly sound in defence. 17 One great success of the year has been the winning of the Football Cup from Peel who held it last year. This was all the more creditable as Peel had seven 1st XI players and were strongly fancied for the cup. The win can be attributed largely to team-spirit and team-work. Praise should he given to the play of R. Warren and R. East. It was a foregone conclusion that Peel would win the Cricket Cup, for no matter how much team-spirit we had, this alone cannot win cricket matches. The match against Peel was lost by seven wickets and that against Barton was drawn. In both games East proved himself the master batsman that he is and scored over half of the side's runs. The Senior Rounders team consisted entirely of past and present members of the School First team and therefore ought perhaps to have had more decisive wins, especially against Barton. Sheila Rudd and Sylvia Butler were particularly good batsmen. The Junior team, though not quite so successful, played energetically. The bowler and backstop, Peggy Clark and Doreen Fulker, combined well and Ruth Sawyer, the Captain, batted strongly. The matches were spoilt by having to be played in lunch-times, and not after school, as this per- mitted only one innings. The Tennis team, captained by Sheila Rudd, had only moderate success, since the doubles pair lost both their games 5-6, 3-8, although Shirley Jurd won the only singles game which it was possible to play, 8-3. She and Janet Greaves also brought honour to the House by making the School singles final an all-Peak affair. In Athletics, R. Warren once again proved himself to be the best cross-country runner in the School by virtue of his stamina. On Sports Day the senior boys failed disappointingly, their only success being the winning of the relay. The girls by contrast had many successes, since the Victrix Ludorum ( Margaret Greaves), the Junior Girl (Alma Willis) and the Portal Girl (Doreen Fulker) all belong to Peak. The generally high standard of the girls' running was shown by their winning all the relays. It was largely due to R. Evans that the junior boys fared much better than the seniors. He gave an outstanding performance and not only achieved the honour of being Junior Boy but was awarded his Athletics colours. By winning four events he did much towards winning the Junior House Cup for Peak. Altogether there has been a tremendous keenness and enthusiasm shown throughout the year which has been very encouraging. M.G., J.V.

18 PEEL Staff : Miss Grant, Mr.Habbitts . Captains: Mary Day, B. Bunday. Peel have had on the whole a very successful year, especially in cricket and athletics. On Sports Day we won the Senior I louse Cup and were placed second in both the Junior and Portal competitions. Our senior boys won five of the nine events. An outstanding performance was given by Arnold, who won the Mile Cup and the 880 yards. Generally speaking the girls gave better performances in the field events than in the track events, taking the first three places in both the Senior High Jump and the Junior Long Jump. Praise is due to the many members of the teams who, while not giving outstanding performances, gained many valuable points. We were easily winners of the Senior Cross-Country race and although we were unable to secure first place, M. Arnold (2nd), Bunday (3rd) and Francis (4th) all came from Peel. The Junior Cross-Country race was also an easy victory for Peel, Adams and Bowles being first and third home respe- ctively. We were runners-up to Peak for the Football Cup, winning one match and losing the other. The main faults of the team were that they played as individuals and that too much importance was laid on attack, with the result that the defence was rather weak. The girls acquitted themselves well in the Hockey and Netball House matches, although they did not gain the first place in these tournaments. In the Hockey matches we were fortunate in having several First Team players in the team who, although they defended their goal well, with the help of Pamela Williams, the First XI goalkeeper, were unable to shoot with any accuracy, and so were prevented from gaining a considerable advantage over the other two teams. However, they did play reasonably well as a team. Mary Day was Hockey Captain. The Netball teams, too, were very eager to prove Peel's true worth, and did their best to defeat the two other Houses. The weakness here was in the team's mid-field play. The two shooters, Gloria Grant and Audrey Knowles, the School's First XI shooters, played consistently well, and shot accurately when the ball was passed to them. Unfortunately, however, the defence and centre-field players were not so good, although they tried hard during the matches. Gloria Grant was Netball Captain. 19 For the fourth year in succession Peel won the Cricket Cup, scoring two overwhelming victories over Peak and Barton. This was mainly due to some good bowling by M. Arnold and some aggressive batting by B. Bunday. The rest of the team backed them up very well, the fielding in parti- cular being of a high standard. This year's Tennis tournaments were divided into singles and doubles from each House. In the singles I louse matches, Peel were defeated by the Peak and Barton entrants, who were extremely good. However in the doubles tournament Peel did better. The doubles pair were Pamela Williams and Gloria Grant, who defeated the Barton pair by six games to five, and the Peak team by eight games to three. They played well throughout. Pamela Williams was the Tennis Captain. The Rounders matches were not played until late in the term and therefore had to be played in the lunch-hours, and for this reason several of them remained unfinished. In the senior House matches, Peel lost to Peak and beat Barton, but in the junior House matches, Peel lost both the matches they played, being placed third, whereas in the senior matches they were placed second. Brenda Bunday was the Senior Rounders Captain and Janette Watts was the Junior Rounders Captain. M.J.D.,

CERCLE FRANCAIS Chairman: P. Nicholls. Secretary : C. Murphy. WHILE WE have had to hold our meetings this term on a fort- nightly basis, the attendance when we have been able to meet has been very promising for the summer months. This term we began our meetings with three films, " The Extraordinary Adventures of a Quart of Milk ", " The Village That Would Not Die " and " Boy Scout Jamboree ". All three of these films had an English commentary which, for the younger members of the Society, made it more enjoyable. There has been quite a lot of acting this term by various members of the Circle, charades proving particularly popular. In addition we have had the usual games and songs, which are still very popular. I think the most enjoyed programme of the term was our " Soiree Amicale," which included charades, songs, games and " dictaphone fun ". The Second Form girls have been very enthusiastic this term. Perhaps next term we may see more members of the Upper School and some Second Form boys at our meetings. Remember, the more the merrier ! C.M.

THE COUNTRY DANCING CLUB Chairman: Monica Gilbert. Secretary: Audrey Knowles. Treasurer: Cynthia Marsh. THE CLUE has had very good support during the past term, especially from the juniors, but we would like to see more people from the Upper School at our meetings. This term has been taken up with the many practices necessary for the Coronation " Come and Dance " Festival at Winchester. Owing to the large number of activities during the Summer Term it has been difficult to find time for the practices, the Club having to resort to Friday evenings. We are all very grateful to Miss Webb for teaching us the dances. 21 The Festival, well supported by the School, was a great success and everyone had an enjoyable day. The teams took part in the group of English Social Dances and in Circassian Circle at the finish. This dance was performed by over two thousand children and was a very impressive sight. During next term we hope to give a display of dancing, in national costume, to the School. We would like to thank the boys who came forward for the Winchester Festival, and hope that they will continue to attend. We welcome any new members and wish to see more boys at our future meetings. M.G.

L.D.D.S. Chairman: B. Hockey. Secretary: Margaret Greaves. Treasurer: N. Hart. OF THE very few regular meetings which the Society was able to hold this term, two consisted of play-readings, performed mainly by the Sixth Form. Another play-reading was held on Coronation Sports Day acousticsand was well received, in spite of difficulties with the of the Gymnasium and with the competition of a vociferous goat tethered in the playground. The play, " Hands Across the Sea," by Noel Coward, was ably produced by B. Hockey, perhaps the most popular readers being J. Veck and Coral Sanderson as Mr. and Mrs. Wadhurst and J. Witt as Mr. Burnham. The Chairman also arranged an extremely enjoyable musical evening. Perhaps the most popular meeting of the term was the Mock Trial arranged by P. Nicholls, in which he unavailingly defended T. Roles from the charge of abducting Emily, the dressmaker's dummy and mascot of Sixth Arts, from the Library in the interests of Sixth Science. The arguments of B. Bunday, Counsel for the Prosecution, convinced a most in- telligent ,jury, and they were all kept in order by B. Hockey, a very impressive judge. In conclusion, we once again extend a warm welcome to those interested in any of the varied activities of the Literary, Debating and Dramatic Society. M.G. 22 LIBRARY Librarian : Mary Day. Assistant Librarians : Margaret Greaves, Doreen Holder, Coral Sanderson, T. Roles, I). Ray. As Is USUAL during the Summer Term, when outdoor activities play a more important part in our lives, fewer library books were borrowed this term than in the last two terms. However, with a new Second Form arriving at the same time as this magazine, and also a completely new Library staff, we hope that there will be a renewed interest in all the sections of the Library. Happy reading to all next year's borrowers, and may still more people use the Library in the coming terms. . M.J.D MODEL CLUB Chairman : P. Ruth en. Secretary : R. East. INTENDED meetings this term were considerably interrupted by the General Certificate of Education examinations. The woodwork room was quite often in use until after five o'clock and consequently we could not do very much practical modelling. Interest in solid models seems to have waned and members showed preference for flying models. What few flying models were made were mainly " Jetex " powered flying models of the world's latest fighters. Some interest was shown in drawings of aircraft of war- time vintage. Much valuable information concerning fuselage and wing structures was obtained from these drawings and it is to be hoped that this information will he useful for modelling purposes in the future. P.L.R. NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY Chairman: Barbara Southon. Secretary: P. Nicholls. THE MAJORITY of our meetings during the Summer Term have been expeditions to local places of interest to students of Natural History. These have been well supported by our tried and trusty stalwarts, but we would he particularly pleased to welcome fresh blood to our activities next term. During the first few weeks, attention was focussed on the floral and faunal investigation of Austin's Copse, and the results formed part of the Society's exhibition on Sports Day. We have also to thank several of our members for the fascinating range of livestock shown on that occasion. Later on we visited such areas as Cranbury Park and Stoke Park woods, the latter being notable for the persistent species of Diptera to be found. 23 Two excursion by coach were arranged after the examinations. The first took place in conjunction with the Y.F.C. and consisted of an ecological survey of Matley Heath and Bog, and Denny Wood in the New Forest, finishing with a display in Lymington swimming baths by a few of our more aquatic supporters. The second was an outing to the Natural History Museum in London. With considerable regret, we decided that the dino- saur skeleton was rather too large to bring back for the Biology Lab. in conclusion, we wish to extend an invitation to all interested in Natural History to come and help to make the Society's programme next term a success. P.N

SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY Chairman: R. East. Secretary : P. Nicholls. DESPITE SEVERAL changes made in the weekly timetable affect- ing the meetings of the Society, the support achieved has been encouraging. The challenge of outdoor sports to the more intellectual appeal of science has been ably met. Our opening meeting of the term was devoted to films on engines, one of a general nature, and two describing specific examples, the petrol and diesel engines. The Presidential address, given this year by Mr. S. E. Bodey, was on the subject of " Colour." The accompanying demonstrations, which had taken considerable preparation, were greatly appreciated. Our• first meeting at 6.30 on Friday evening, towards the end of the term, was well attended. The Society was addressed by Mr. H. Ray, a recent member of the Southampton Astro- nomical Society, on " Our Nearest Star ". It was suggested that we establish our own observatory — action is now required. As a result of a well-meaning decision of the School Council, the Society's constitution has been amended to allow membership of the Society to pupils of the Lower School. It is hoped that this will not deter members of the VI and U.V Forms from attending our Autumn meetings. Finally we wish to extend a cautious welcome to members of the gentler sex. If they feel that, possessing minds noted more for intuition than induction, they can do little to bring about directly the advancement of truth, we would respect- fully remind them that nevertheless they may inspire others. P.N. 24 YOUNG FARMERS' CLUB Chairman: B. Bunday. Secretary: J. Veck. Treasurer: Joan Urry. THE YOUNG Farmers' Club has again enjoyed a very successful Summer programme. The Rally provided a lot of hard work, but this was rewarded by the Club winning two firsts, four seconds, and six thirds in the County competitions. In the aggregate of points the Club was runner-up for the County Championship Trophy and was also runner-up for the " W.I." Cup. During the afternoon an outstanding personal performance was that of Ann Williams. At short notice she volun- teered to ride in the Cart Horse Derby. Riding a huge Shire horse, " Prince," she came in third in the second race. Cycle rambles, a grand day in the New Forest, a visit to the Royal Counties Show, a Field Studies Day and a visit to Sparsholt have made a very pleasant and instructive programme. A fitting climax was the visit to Stoke Park Farm where, after a walk round the farm with Mr. Dunford, the members were lavishly provided with refreshments at the farmhouse.

What a boring lesson! " This may be the cry of many pupils' hearts—I know it has often been the cry of mine. Or maybe, not realising it, my mind has wandered to the approaching party to which I have been invited. I find myself dreaming of all the styles and colours of the dresses of the other guests, of the food which will be set on the table, the coloured jellies, tarts and cake. Why, even now I find myself dreaming! " How wonderful," I say to myself , " if I could have my essay in the School magazine! " I have often noticed my friends staring at well, at nothing, I suppose! They sit with a vacant expression on their faces, each dreaming maybe of the time when she will become the world's greatest singer, amazing everyone with her mar- vellous voice. The scientists probably dream of the time when they will be flying through space to the moon, or Mars, or maybe even to Venus! They can maybe see themselves in space-suits, com- plicated and hideous. Others may have more sober ideas, perhaps of being aircraft pilots. They can see their names in the headlines- " So-and-so, the famous pilot, breaks the sound barrier! " Or maybe that will be out of date by then! I think some of my friends dream of their school successes, of passing all eight subjects in the School Certificate, of their acceptance to the University of Oxford or Cambridge. Maybe they can hear one of the staff saying " Why, I can remember when he was in the Fourth Form. He was no good at anything then! " One of my Form-mates might hope to become an inventor and invent an automatic " thinker " to do all of the pupil's homework while he is outside playing " cowboys and indians " with the boys from next door. It would be a great help if one of these machines were invented. Think of all the spare time we pupils would have ; time just to sit and dream. JACQUELINE NOON, IV.A (1) 26 THE MOON Oh moon ! so full, so clear, so white, Pallor gleams in your rounded way ; Across the sky you skim in flight Away from day. Oh moon ! seraphically bright, So calm, so pale, so silently, You shine with such a glowing light O'er land and sea. You are the ruler of the night Even as the sun is of the day ; Dark night surrenders to daylight ; You cannot stay. PAMELA JONES,II.X

" SPANISH GARDEN," by MARY PENNY, U.V (s). 27 SWISS ENCHANTMENT I SHALL ALWAYS remember Switzerland with vivid memories of a holiday spent in a tiny village surrounded by mountains in the heart of the Bernese Oberland. Switzerland may well be called a tourists' paradise, for the variety of scenery is unending. In winter the vast stretches of crisp white snow lend a tranquil and awe-inspiring feeling, but in summer a turbulent waterfall rushes down from rocky crags glinting and sparkling in the sunlight until it joins the sedately flowing river in the valley. The Swiss have fascinating and unusual customs. The most humorous I noticed was at Grindlewald, while sheltering from the rain. On that occasion we were surprised to see a man riding downhill on a bicycle holding an umbrella above his head. Apparently the Swiss prefer these to mackintoshes. Their homes are picturesque. They are made of wood and have wide overhanging eaves to keep the snow from falling too close to the chalet. The carving on the balconies is ex- quisite ; grapevines are grown along these balconies and all the window-sills are banked high with bright flowers, particularly geraniums. Another quaint custom is the airing of bedding out of windows. Early each morning the thick, downy eiderdowns or " plumeaux " are left to air in the sun. Washing is never pegged to the line but is just folded over lines close to the ground. In the village there was a small whitewashed Lutheran church which dates back to the twelfth century. Surrounding it were well-kept lawns, and the graves were one riot of flowers, unsurpassed by any public garden in England. At any special church gathering, such as at christenings or weddings, all friends and relatives wear the charming traditional costume. The postal coaches are a bright yellow and sound a musical horn when going round sharp bends. The character- istic musical instrument is the Alphorn. It is about twelve feet long and when played, its note echoes and re-echoes around the mountains. In summer the cattle are all taken up to graze on the verdant and succulent grass which grows on the Alps. Each cow has a bell tied round its neck and when clouds enshroud the cattle the herdsmen are able to find them by the tinkling of the bell. These are but few of the impressions which come into my mind and I feel that the tedious journey was well worth the enchantment of Switzerland which followed. JANET DELIA, VI Arts 28 OLD BARTONIANS' ASSOCIATION SINCE THE last issue of the News Sheet in April, there has been little news of Old Bartonians forthcoming. The Secretary has received an appeal for news from R. J. Pearce, who left in 1947 and would like to hear from people. Hereare a few items :— In April Pamela Harding married Mr. Eric Webb, and Patricia Holloway became engaged to Mr. Roy Chandler. Joy Simmons is going to Portsmouth Training College in September. W. Clarke-Jones is employed by Taggart, Morgan & Coles, timber merchants. J. Stubbs and S. Street were in the Eastleigh Athletic Club team which ran second in the Hants mile relay held at Portsmouth on June 6th. The Old Bartonians' Football Club held their annual dinner on May 8th, when County Alderman A. H. Quilley, J.P., was present. The Club won the Southampton Senior' Cup, bringing it to Eastleigh for the first time in 17 years. At the last meeting of the General Committee, on June 16th, it was proposed that the O.B.A. should have a blazer, tie and scarf designed for wear by old students. A Committee member was detailed to write to several firms for quotations, so we hope to hear more in the near future.
