JUNE,1935 No. 13 STAFF Editorial J. R. O. Harris, M.A. (Headmaster) H. D. Erwin, B.A. L. R. Vollugi, A.T.T.I. T. C. Brammall, M.A. D. C. Clarke, A.T.T.I. SINCE its inauguration many years ago, the Hutchins School Magazine has been produced entirely by members of the R. H. Isherwood P. P. McC. Fergusson, Dip. Fr. (Paris) teaching staff. The senior English master usually wrote the R. S.Waring, B.A., Dip. Ed. E. H. Stephens editorial, and gradually the task of producing the whole Maga zine fell upon his shoulders. TV. J. Gerlach, B.A. R. L. Collings The pupils were asked to contribute articles,but they were .J. C. Parish, B.Sc. Miss Frizoni never offered any position of responsibility, and consequently they lost interest in a magazine which they felt was not their PREFECTS own. In recent years their interest dwindled to such an extent that it became an impossibility to find an article in the Maga D.A.Warner (Sen. Prefect) R. E. Richardson J. D. L. Shoobridge zine which had been contributed by any boy in the School. E. Hawson E. D. Tudor E. S. Valentine Thus, the Magazine became merely the expression of one indivi dual, and not that of the School as a whole. Parents were given no opportunity to study the literary attainments of their chil SUB.PREFECTS dren, and outsiders were unable to gain any insight into the VV. T. Bennett 'r D. Simpson inner workings of tlie School. G. L. Hudson H. M. Williams It was obvious to all who took an interest in the School generally that some drastic alteration had to be made in the production of the Magazine if it was not eventually to become SPORTS COMMITTEE non-existent owing to the lack of interest shown in it by the Members of the Staff members of the School. Faced with this unpleasant possibility, Mr. Clarke approached the 'Headmaster with the suggestion H. M. Williams D. A. Warner H. R. Thompson that a boy chosen from the Sixth Form should be appointed E. D. Tudor J. D. L. Shoobridge G. C. Little Editor-in-chief. The Headmaster consented and a committe::J was formed consisting of an editor and six sub-editors, with Mr. Clarke taking the position of general supervisor. A meet HOUSE CAPTAINS ing of the upper forms was held soon after the committee had School BucklAnd Stephens been formed, and the scheme was outlined to the boys. The meeting was very enthusiastic over the innovation and recorded D. A. Warner H. M. Williams G. C. Little a unanimous vote that the Magazine should be enlarged. The committee was desirous of carrying the proposal into effect, MAGAZINE COMMITTEE but the Board of Management could not see its way clear to grant any further sum of money towards the production of the D. A. Warner (Editor) E. D. Tudor R. E. Richardson Magazine until it had proved itself worthy of additional expen E. S. Valentine D. C. McLaren D. C. Clarke, Esq. diture. J. D. L. Shoobridge R. Atkinson G. L. Hudson Handicapped by the lack of space, the Committee has had to adopt' a policy of rigorous censorship, and many contribu tions which would have been printed in a larger edition have LIBRARY COMMITTEE had to be regretfully refused. To those of our contributors H. D. Erwin, Esq. R. L. Collings, Esq. D. A. "Varner whose work is not published we offer our apologies, but we are hopeful that in future editions our space will not be so strictly D. C. Clarke, Esq. D. L. McKean E. D.

Sec. G. L. Hudson, Asst. Sec. history of the Hutchins School Magazine, so that before many years have passed we may produce a magazine which wilL D. C. Clarke, Esq. T. D.
