This has been an eventful term; the very first day brought a sensation : a young person had disappeared and for several days could not be found ; blood-curdling: rumours concerning him were told with blood-thirsty relish; we had hopes of something exciting happening—a broadcast S.O.S. and bloodhounds on his trail for instance; but the incident ended happily, as all good comedies do. Hardly had we recovered from the excitement when, lo and behold ! Whitsun was almost upon us ; but this break quickly passed and the visions of "home" were soon suc- ceeded by a vista of ten weary weeks of uninterrupted school life; and far away on the horizon was a cloud no bigger than a man's hand—"Examinations ahoy !" For some time life seemed strange—the familiar figure of our School porter was missing : fires burned out, shoes went uncleaned and ink-pots grew empty; and then he came back, together with the Hound of the Baskervilles : fires flared up, shoes shone, and ink-pots overflowed; the hound frolicked and gambolled in the playground : life was normal once more. Meanwhile a new game, a weird game, yea, a danger- ous game forsooth, a cross between ye olde English game of rounders and the real 100 per cent he-man, American baseball, found its way within our walls ; it ousted playground cricket; it even challenged the supremacy of playground soccer : but that time-honoured sport died a brave death, lingering on throughout the summer until a heat wave brought it to a summary end; and when the temperature was 90 degrees rounders easily put it in the shade ! And all this while the weather showed us its powers. It rained, it rained heavily, in fact it rained very heavily, and then it obliged by just raining continuously : it stopped raining : the sun shone, it shone brightly, in fact it shone very brightly, and then it obliged by just shining continu- ously. The cricket team behaved like the weather : it was sur- prising. Also it had no less than six fixtures scratched—four owing to rain, two owing to disease—measles at Ludlow and. O.T.C. fever at Worcester. It is always possible that we at H.C.S. may catch measles; but we are fairly safe from the other infection. HEREFORDIAN B Another event worthy of comment was the appearance in the Reading Room on May 18th, 1932, of two "Spheres" dated November 2nd and November 16th, 1929. Our heart- iest congratulations on their safe arrival ! We always like to think that we are up-to-date. As for the many other past events we would refer our readers to the later pages of the magazine; although doubt- less they will have read them before they turn to this page, schoolboys always imagining that an editorial comes first in order to be read last. And now at length it is time to bring our brief review to an end and with a last sad flourish to lay down the editorial pen. Fresh editors next years will take our place : we wish them joy, and we warn them of their responsibility— for once again, apart from the editors only one boy in the whole school, and to him we are grateful, has, made any literary contribution to the magazine. But let us forget things past and look to the bright things ahead—the summer holidays, in which we wish you heartily all sunshine and all happiness. And with the picture of sunshine and of happiness in our minds let us take our leave of Hereford and all its memories. Adieu, Hereford, adieu ! SCHOOL NOTES. H. I. Waters has been awarded a Somerset Exhibition (£40 a year for 4 years) in Classics to St. John's College, Cambridge. * * * We welcome Mr. J. R. G.

" Here is the editorial, and these are the Editors writing it." It is our unanimous decision, said a " Shirburnian " spokesman to-day, not to mention the course of the present conflict, which, as readers may remember, has involved so large a portion of the civilized world in a holocaust of wanton destruction. We need hardly remind our readers, should we be so fortunate as to have any ... " In fact, we are not going to talk \var (though we would like to know when the Home Guard are going to get their tin-hats). But if any person imagines that life here is very thrilling because of war conditions, or that the attentions of the enemy have unsettled us, we can quote as an answer the statistics of the Seniors' Cricket Final, which we hope will provide for the proper authorities something to chew upon, and to digest before the beech trees show signs of re­ browning on the autumn slopes; they are: 131 overs, 56 maidens, 786 balls allowed (97 of which swelled the total), and 173 runs scored.

  • Tlbe Ibereforbian
    tlbe Ibereforbian. N.S. No. XXII. DECEMBER, 1894. PEICE SIXPENCE. EDITOEIAL. IN the historic words of Mr. Grimaldi " here we are again." In other words, after a long interval a number of the Herefordian is again before the world. That long interval has been caused by that most inexorable goddess, namely, necessity. To come down to plain Saxon, the question of ways and means is one of great difficulty—the Herefordian for a time at least must appear only seldom and must put in the time with strict economy " until something turns up." First in the order of time and importance comes the funeral of that true friend to the School, the late Dean ; our last number was issued almost on the day of his death. The place of Dean Herbert has been taken by Dean Leigh, who was inducted on the twenty-third of June last. We have much pleasure in offering our congratulations, though we fear they come a little late, to our Head Master on the addition to his family. On April 13th Mr. Thistle was blessed with a son and heir. To him we offer our hearty good wishes. He has since been christened by the name of Thomas Hugh Campbell. 2 THE HEBEFOEDIAN. In Boating it will be seen the School did not succeed in winning either of the two annual races with Monmouth and Worcester. In the former case the School crew were out- weighted, in the second thoy lost by sheer bad luck. In both, thanks to excellent coaching given by the Masters, they pulled well and pluckily.

  • Forward Momentum Our Report Card 2014-2015
    FORWARD MOMENTUM OUR REPORT CARD 2014-2015 1 2 BUILDING FINE YOUNG MEN. ONE BOY AT A TIME. 3 According to a wide range of indicators, the 2014-15 academic year was characterized by an impressive range of accomplishments reflecting a strong commitment to ongoing School improvement. Central to this process was our first-ever accreditation by Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS). The resulting Report concluded “that St. George’s is an excellent school,” and that this excellence is reflected “in the high number of commendations….contrasted with the relatively small number of recommendations for improvement.” In addition to commending our teachers “for the work they do in pursuing and maintaining the high standards,” the Report acknowledged them “for the sense of security with which they examine what they do in order to make the school a better place.” As well, the Visiting Committee was greatly impressed by the “pervasive sense of renewal and aspiration for continued – or expanded – success” that they observed, noting that the “sense of a school with forward momentum was palpable.” In addition to passing the CAIS accreditation with flying colours, we enjoyed many other successes in 2014-15. Once again, our boys excelled on wide range of external tests, including BC’s Foundation Skills Assessment and the College Board’s Advanced Placement Examinations. Just as impressive is the fact that our 162 graduates received more than 690 university acceptances at 147 different post-secondary institutions, along with more than $2 million in merit-based scholarships. The incredible diversity of these offers attests to our success in helping each boy find the program and university that are for him the best fit.
