  • December 1936
    Southgate County School Magazine December, 1936. No. 33. EDITORIAL. Among several new features which we are glad to recall in the life of the school during the past year, perhaps the most ap- preciated innovation has been the instalment of a hot water supply at both ends of the school; for nearly 12 months now this has proved very popular, particularly to our sports enthusiasts. We now note signs that foreshadow a beginning of the task of divert- ing the footpath which divides the Sports Field from the School playground, and no doubt before very long a start will be made on our much needed extension. In regard to this matter we should like to thank the Parents and Staff Association for their valuable help which was so gladly given in the difficult task of securing legal sanction for the diversion of this footpath. Another much appreciated new feature of the school is the Cine-Camera, which has secured for us a permanent visible record of many school events. Recently we have had the pleasure of seeing pictures taken by Mr. Paul of the Athletic Sports, the Swimming Sports, and many features of the Belgian tour of last Easter. On this subject of foreign tours we should like to recommend parents of boys to take advantage of the school trips to the Continent which are annually arranged by Mr. Knowles, for these excursions qombine a healthy and really cheap holiday with valuable educational experience. We understand that another tour—this time to Switzerland—has been provisionally arranged for July or August, 1937, Further details will be avail- able later.
