Scholarships LEONARD KHAN In Scotland Civil Aviation Scholarship MALCOLM CHAN-A-SUE INTER-COLLEGIATE EXAMINATION Of all our successes this year the one which pleased me most was Lawrence Phillips' tie for first prize in the Inter-Collegiate Examination. Each year Very Reverend Fr. Provincial of the English Province offers Prizes to be competed for by all our Jesuit schools in England, Scotland and South Africa. The Seniors are over 16 years old; the Juniors under 16. L. A. Phillips tied for first place in the Senior Mathematics, and Leyland Grant was runner-up in the Junior Mathematics. This is the first time we have ever entered any candidates. EXAM. RESULTS (ORDINARY LEVEL) We knew that last year's Form 5's were not nearly so good as the classes for several years before. But even so the results were very disappointing: the only good set of results were those of U 4A. English Language in 5B was a catastrophe - only 2 boys passed out of 18; and only 6 of them passed in Mathematics. The results in Latin, French, Physics and General Science were as good as ever. Top JOTTINGS FROM A COLLEGE DIARY MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17: The first 'day' of term - books given out, and then home. Form I did not come today. And there is no longer any Preparatory. After many years at the College Miss Lopes has left. We thank her for all her devoted service, and we thank also Mr. M. de Abreu and Mr. Persaud, while we welcome Mr. F. Teixeira and Mr. Rosemay (who help in the Laboratories). TUESDAY 18: There was a half-holiday propter fluviam - no frequent occurrence now- a-days. Kevin Greene, late of Form V. left the Colony to join the Benedictines in Trinidad. THURSDAY & FRIDAY: Jacob Cup cricket against Q.C. - won. THURSDAY 27: Dias Cup match against Q.C. - won. FRIDAY 28: Mike Agostini came and talked to us, as did Mr. McDonald Bailey for a bit. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4: Fr. Feeny, Mr. Cummings and 20 boys go to Mackenzie. FRIDAY 5: Half-holiday - for the Bingo.

THURSDAY 11: Half-holiday for the cricket (Jamaica vs. B.G.). FRIDAY 12: Fr. Marrion returned to the Colony, to teach once more at the College. TUESDAY 16: The results of the G.C.E.
