These worls may be litly aplIpled to this our lirst edition of the New Year, aln e.xpress our wish to ev'ery past and present member of the Schlool for tlie year 191 3. There has been only a slight alteration in tli< teaching staff this 'year,Mr. Brown coming to us from \\'Wesleyv (ollege, Melbourne, while Mr. Staehli left to take up land at Atherton. The School crew rowed Southport at the end of last year, l)but were beaten Ib three-quarters of a length, so tlat Southfport gained possssion of tlihe " HenIidrsln (p." The cricket team in the annual match against Ipswichl (;rammar School, defeated their opponents, however, by an innings. At the end of last year, R. S. Irvine, tlihe cricket captain, and L.. W. (;a!!, the football captain, left tlhe School. M. I). (raham now holds the position of cricket skipper. We offer our heartiest congratulations to E. P. Holland and A. W. L. Row, for obtaining University Scholarships, and also to all those who succeeded in passing both the Senior and Junior I! University Examinations, and especially to N ('. Aitken and H. V. Byvth who are at the head of all the candidates in Queensland. i. H Brisbane Grammar School Magazine. The members of the First XI. have had swelled heads ever since the Old Boys' Match on February 28th. Why ? Did the not defeat the Old Boys' team, which contained an interstate bowler, by nine wickets ? Were there not some marvellous catches taken ?- - - The tennis team were also successful in their match against the Old Boys, winning by sixteen games. Both teams were entertained in the evening by the " ()Old Boys' Association," at a dinner and concert, which proved a titting finale for such a fine day's sport. The cadets have started work again with a will, and the special squad have been successful in winning their Battalion ('hampion- ship. One of the most pleasing features to be observed is the enthusiasm with which the squad do their work That's tlit wa\\ to win, Specials! The swimming sports have been held, and were very successflul, all the races being keenly contested and well fought out. The Championship was won for the second time in succession 1b\ \W. I'. Simmoids. The tennis and football teams promise to be of fairly hiiih standard, all last year's tennis team having come back, and about half of the old 1st XV. \We record with deep regret the tragic vet heroic deaths ,f W B. Wilson and ('halman, who were drowned at Southpoit during the Christmas holidays, and \\e offler our deepest sympathyl to the relatives of the deceased. We would now draw\\ attention to our School motto,. " Nil sine labore," and tender a few words of advice. If each member of the School bear in mind during this year, 1913, that " nothing can le obtained or achiled except by hard work," then the School can do nauit else but advance, not only in tilhe realm of intellect. but also in that of sport. May it not be said about us that "III- ness, at first hated, is finally loved." I. I) (;raliam. our able and popular editor of last year, has resigned his position, in order to be able to devote more time to other duties. He \will be succeeded by A. S. \Vest. R. P. Franeis. Those of our readers whose memories can carry them bha k twenty years, will be interested in the photograph, reproduced "m this number, of a tablet erected to the memory of the late R. I'. Francis, in the Chapel of Balliol College, Oxford. In the leti r accompanying the photograph, the writer says: " The fellows gua' 1 very jealously the space available for memorial tablets, and oi \' 2.! Manorial Tahdet to Mr. 3. P.
