STANLEY ALI.IBONE was one of our older members and in the days, before be left ni fox South Africa was • very keen one. He never forgot the <)1<1 School and even after circumstances set many miles between himself end us. never failed to remember us on Sports' Days and other occasions on which he had made it a point of affection and honour always to do his hit. Be was a gentle boy and unfortunately nol Mossed with robnal health, and we have reasons for thinking that the physical weakne-s which made it imperative for him to remove to Central Africa proved in the end the conqueror after a long and very brave struggle. W. D. G GRKN was a boy at school thirty seven years ago. and is affectionately remembered by t h- se of us who knew him in those fir distant days. His bent was always t iwards engineer• ing to which he devoted himself after leaving us. and as a draughtsman he worked tin- greater part of his life on Tees-side in the service of Messrs. 11 Roger «X: Co. lb- served during the War. and after the firm of Rogers casi d to be. remained on Tees Biota successively wit h the Pnrn ess Shipbuilding Co., Dorman, Longs, end the Tees side Bridge and Engineering Co. Only eighteen months sgo In- removed t > West Bromwioh and the news of his passing cane as a shock to those who knew him as B I >yal friend and one singularly devoted to his work. ROBUH LAM0 KI< K died With tragic suddenness on 27th November, 1987. By profession a chemist, he began his career in the laboratories of Messrs. Bolokow, Vaughan before remov• ing to the I.C.I., with whom he remained till his death. Here h • was happy in the warm esteem of all who knew him for he was a singularly line character, earnest, efficient and devoted to his work, willing always Lo help others, ever cheerful and court• eous. Before removing to Middlesbrough he was an ardent member of our Association, one of thos? select few whose Specially unwearying ell'orN have made it possible for it to exist in the face of diflieult ies inevitable to such a body. He was especially keen on th" Football Section of which he was Secretary as well as a playing member, and the memory of his uncom• plaining work and that of a few others for that section, disheartening and often thankless, we remember gratefully—for such memories are an inspiration. He wasalwaysa keen sports• man and a real one in the truest sense of the word. It is sad to think that he should be called away so early in his career leaving a widow and two small boys.

\ MI i \ RONALD TiND.M.K, Superintendent of Manchester Royal Infirmary, died suddenly on New Year's Eve, at the relatively early age of 42, after a brilliant career in hospital service which began at the North Ormesby Hospital after leaving us in 1911. From there he proceeded to the Great Northern Hospital, Holloway Road, when his professional career was broken by distinguished service in the Rifle Brigade in the Great War in which he was wounded. His military service he concluded as an Army Instructor in Spanish. He resumed his civil career first at the Royal Southern Hospital, Liverpool and then at the Bradford Royal Infirmary, and in 1927 received the first award of the Diploma and Gold Medal of the Hospital Officers^ Association, before being appointed superintendent of the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 1985. Here his work was remarkably successful as a result of his detailed knowledge of hospital equipment and administration, and it is thought that his unsparing labours towards the completion of the New Private Patients' Home must have accelerated the death of one who always worked to the full limits of his capacity. He was known as Manchester's "best loved"' hospital official, and his funeral service, the first to be held in the chapel of the Royal Infirmary was attended by hundreds of poor people who had been former patients and felt that they had lost a friend. He was the youngest man in the county to hold such a position. He leaves a widow and a daughter aged 9. To the relatives of all these our old Stocktonian friends we extend our deepest sympathy.

Concerning Ourselves. First a note of pardonable self congratulation. Mr. John Wilkinson has consented to the unanimous request of the Association that he should continue for a second year as President,—so our anxieties on that important question may rest quietly. The Association has always been extremely fortunate in its leading officers, and always dreads the day when the inevitable change must be made. The fact that Mr. Wilkinson is too modest in his estimate of himself did not influence any of us. The honour is ours and we are very grateful for it. We are looking forward again to seeing him in the presidential chair at the dinner in December, and to enjoying again the sundry Acts of quiet assistance he rendered us in the past year, always thoughtful, always kind and always charming. Last February the School bade farewell to Mr. A. Barraclough who left us to take up duties in a fresh sphere as Tutor at the City of Leeds Training College. He had not long been with us as Maths. Master before his old College called him back to the honour of a position on its Staff, but during those two years we all learnt to value deeply his earnestness and his unfailing kindness and courtesy. He has our best wishes for happiness and success in the larger world into which he has gone. In his place we welcome Mr. E. H. Mann, B.Sc, Armstrong College, University of Durham with Honours in Physics, and formerly of Eastbourne Technical School. Mr. Mann has soon made himself at home as one of us and looks like becoming a veritable member of the family. His approval of Stockton and Old Stocktonians seems to be marked with real emphasis in taking unto himself a wife and becoming a property owner and ratepayer in this ancient borough in so short a time. What finer compliment have we ever received ? School work has prospered in the past year. We entered no less than fourteen candidates for the Higher Certificate Examination, more by a fair number than many schools much bigger than ours, and only one boy was disappointed of success. School Certificate successes were equally healthy; we are proud to think that 43 boys won the certificate out of 48. In Athletics we did as well. The Rugby XV had a triumphant season. More than one adult club envied us of our players and several of our boys again were called on to play for,either Stockton or Billingham, while R. Ireland, the Captain, was capped for the County. The Cricket XI did no less gloriously and the season must have been the finest in the history of the School. The News Chronicle must have tired of awarding bats, C. Hill the Captain winning one, and Avery two ! Their effort in scoring 103 runs in 40 minutes on a rain spoilt pitch at Hartlepool against Henry Smith's School where they won by 9 wickets, called forth a special article in their praise in the Sports Gazette, which described them as worthy disciples of brighter cricket. We lost the Inter-School Athletics Trophy—but lost it gloriously in view of difficulties experienced before the day and on it,—especially as we had lost our finest talent and our boys were assigned the outer track on every occasion, a fact which not only meant that they had further to run, but which involved them also in the ascent and descent of a miniature hill provided for them and for no other of the competitors. We ended a good third and arc not downhearted. In swimming C. Urwin has continued to bring us lustre. He was chosen to swim for Durham and Northumberland against Yorkshire at Leeds where he came in third in the 100 yards. Since then he has been honoured with requests to demonstrate the crawl and back stroke at local school swimming sports : — and shown them how to do it. He has also played regularly in the Synthonia Polo Team. So the old school is not declining; and it is not untrue to say that the spirit in it was never better. Enthusiasm for both work and play are signs which do not deceive. A happy innovation at the annual dinner was the presence of the Hcadboy of the School as guest of the President. The idea, a very delightful gesture on the part of Mr. Wilkinson proved a great success; as also the presence at the dinner of a goodly number of boys who had just left. It was one of the best evenings we can remember. An Old Boys versus School Cricket Match was held on the last Friday in July—the first, we think, at any rate since the War. It was a wonderful success from every point of view. The whole School was present and great was the interest of present day youngsters in the big lads who were returning in a sense, one or two after many years. So happy an event is too good to lose and it is our earnest hope than this will be the first of an unending line of cheery, annual summer afternoons. To those gentlemen who worked so hard for the success of it we offer our deepest thanks. Next year we hope very many Old Boys will be there part of the time at least. The approximate date so far as we can see at the present will be Friday, July 21st,—and the place as before, the Grangefield Ground,—a perfect setting. We are very sorry to hear of the serious illness of Mr. J. G. Taylor. To him and Mrs. Taylor we would send a message of sympathy and wishes for a speedy return to health—and freedom from anxious thought. 5 May we end with a message of greeting to all Old Stocktonians, many in distant places to whom this humble little book is sent—a message of goodwill to comrades of other days, whose memory we like to reflect over.

Old Boys Here and There.

We arc very proud to record that two of our younger old boys, G. A. Rowe and F. Snowdon have graduated as Doctors of Philosophy at the University of London, in the last few months, making a total of six Old Stocktonians who have attained such a distinction. If our list of successes this year is rather shorter than usual we must be impressed by the quality of it. It is with proud satisfaction that we learn too of Mr. Alfred Scholes' election as President of the Teesside Institution of Engineers. It as an honour indeed to receive so high a maik of respect and esteem from experienced members of one's own profession and sets the seal to a career of real distinction. We hear that J. F. Guile, Town Clerk of Aber> stw > ih, was on the short list " for the town clerkship of Redcar. While warmly congratulating the gentleman who was selected for the post we are bound as Old Stocktonians to express our disappoint• ment in the people of Redcar. What an opportunity they have missed! The farthest-travelled ever popular Official of the Association who last year disturbed the solitudes of the Northumbrian Hills, seems to be again attacked with wanderlust, and accompanied, we imagine, once more by his faithful tyke seems to have directed his steps towards the metropolis. Rumours reach us of stormS in Great Portland Street W.d., with stories of mountaineering in Piccadilly Circus in the dark moments that precede the dawn. There is evidence too of Old Stocktonian activity in town additional to that officially sponsored by the Association, of which news will be found further on. A. J. Spreckley, after leaving the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, has worked for a season as producer with the Macclesfield Repertory Company. Early in the year he returned to Teesside and we were hoping to have kept him with us in a similar capacity. The lack of a suitable hall in Stockton (in spite of its six cinemas) unfortunately made this impossible. As it was, we were able to see him on the stage of the Little Theatre at Middlesbrough. He is now Stage Manager to the Manchester Repertory Company and we wish him all success. Even so, why must we send so many of our promising lads to Lancashire? I). J. Simpson continues his athletic career with sparkle win D he is not worrying his ordinary, lawful quarry, those who pay Income Tax. He is playing wing forward for Blackheath— the first Old Stocktonian to enter the magic circle at the top nf Rugby and has had a trial for Middlesex. We understand why Middlesbrough R.U.F.C. will not allow him to rest when he Mines home. I). Bryan has maintained the promise of his first term and in hi< first year achieved his College Athletic Colours, at Pembroke College, Oxford. C. H. Turner has joined the ever growing body of Old Stocktonians in London, and will soon be a Director of the National Provincial Bank. His comrades in the School Orchestra lament his loss. He was its leader and was one of the gallant little band whose experience of it dated from its first hour. s Other members of the Orchestra from its early days whose loss we deplore are G. A. Miller, now at Ilford and \V. R. Marriott, removed to Mansfield. Their places will be hard to fill. Last year we lamented the loss to us of T. D. Olver. The inevitable has happened, in his appointment as Captain of Burnley C.C. after only a very few weeks with the Club. We knew this would happen, but even so it is good to know that our shrewd judgment is seconded in no uncertain way by the shrewder judgment of Lancashire men to whom cricket is a way of life. We are looking forward to seeing him in the Lancashire side. It was a great delight to have him with us as Captain of the Old Boys XI in the Old Boys' Match last July. Dare we hope to see him again next year? The departure of C. H. Turner for London meant the with• drawal of yet another Old Stocktonian from the ranks of the Stockton first XI. We are glad to note however that we are still there in the persons of Laurie Beaum:>nt, opening batsman, and Jimmie Branson, while C. Jackson and L. Gale shine among the seconds. We hope soon to be able to record the names of othe.s dedicated to the service of cricket and Stockton Cricket Club. J. W. Chambers, G. A. S. Thompson and J. Kellcy arc efficient in the Norton Second Klcven, and M. Sutherland lends his brilliance to Preston. Old Bovs are well represented in the ranks of Stockton R.F.C. the 1-t XV including B. Race, M. Kmbling and J. J. Henderson while A. Barber, E. Lloyd, H. Race and A. Psirlesi constitute a solid portion of the 2nd XV. D. W. Byers at Leeds Training College has secured his Co'ours for both Rugby and Swimming and in addition a place in the 2nd Tennis Team. Congratulations to A. Swinburne on his invitation to visit Canada as engineer guest of the Cunard Co. W. II. Coates, we arc pleased to note continues to exercise his dramatic talent with the Masquers, when not devoting his spate moments to the Committee and Rugger, a mixture of employments on which he seems to thrive. G. K. Barnes after sailing the seven seas has returned to haven—in Darlington—in somewhat unsailorlike fashion, for we hear that he is still fancy free. Dr. 11. G. Millar has already contributed a number of important treatises to the Medical Press and there is promise of more as a result of his work at the John Hopkins University, Baltimore. J. T. Glcavc continues to distinguish himself at Durham. He is editor of the Students' Journal and President once again of the University Union, the highest social distinction possible to students. His Presidential address was of such quality that it was reported at length in the press, and revealed a thought- fulness and seriousness of purpose such as we need to-day. From what we can gather the Stockton Rowing Club, the only surviving body of its kind on the Tees, is largly constituted of Old Stocktonians. W. H. Stainsby is one of its mighty men, and J. S. Brown, H. W. In man and I). Henderson are all known as stalwarts, whose flashing blades can be seen cutting the turbulent waters of the Horseshoe Bend when the tide is running 9 in their favour. They are keen on further members, men of brawn. Why not a few more Old Stocktonians ? G. Claxton Smith continues his work of many years as an important official of the Stockton Cycling Club. May it go on for many more, especially that in which, as leader, he teaches novitiates and yostlers something of the magic secrets of the Cleveland Moors. Counc. B. S. Robson was once again given a walk-over in the municipal elections at the beginning of the month, a matter of considerable satisfaction to that great number of people who value his ability and his matue experience in local government, and not least to his fellow Old Stocktonians. A. K. Shields we are glad to note as one of the dozen enterprising and adventurous young Indian Civil Servants who prefer to proceed to India to take up their appointments by " road,"—so long as there is one or by any substitutes there— for where there is none. They are proceeding in parties of four, and from, what we are able to glean our Mr. Shields is one of those whose conveyance is a car more ancient than trust worthy. The chief equipment apart from the car, seems to consist of flitting guns, mosquito nets and spades. It is Understood also that they carry some food and clothing the latter neatly packed in a suitcase of regulation under>i/e. When last we heard of them they had got as far as Baghdad, and appear to have sustained only one puncture as a result of an encounter with a Turkish nail. Mr. Shields will be missed from the dinner this year, but we shall think of him dashing ove»- the Khaiber Pass, in that vehicle (it carries a large 'I/), and hope in the course of time to have a full and circumstantial account of all that the journey involved. If there is any fun going, you may be certain that an Old Stccktonian will be among it.

If some Old Bovs frolic carelessly in the direction of India we must not forget those others who have gone west—to Canada. G. A. AdamsOD once of Middleton St. George finds more room in the Dominion for expansion. After a few years sailing the waters of the Great Lakes he has returned to land to meteorological work in connection with the Trans Canada Airway at Killaloe, Ontario. He finds that he studied dewp tints in Nelson Terrace to no useless purpose, and remembers tearfully the physics laboratory. A. Stainsby, now enthroned at Darlington as controller of the destinies of the Darlington and Stockton Times will we hope ere long set fire to the Tees when he has finished with the Skerne. T. E. Stoddart looks back over twenty-two years to the days when he wrote lines in compensation for uncertainty in English Grammar and illegibility in English handwriting—still they are tender memories. A. L. Lewis writes from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania of M dropping in " on Tom Plowman at Kingsville, Ontario, a meeting after twenty vears. He encloses a photogranh of them both taken on the shores of Lake F.rie. Since Mr. Lewis's authentic address is Pretoria, S.A. we can only conclude to what lengths Old Stocktonians will go to get a glimpse of each others' cheery faces. 10 R. 1). Wood writes from Egham, Surrey to remind us that he was a 11 pest " in the days when he was a small boy amongst us. We think we have heard that word before. Kenneth Martin is convinced still that the best days of S.S.S. were round about 1919-21—though why we cannot understand. Me writes with justifiable pride of his son and heir, just like his father, and grieves that he will not be able to send him to us and thus perpetuate a family tradition—we suppose, regretfully of course, again, just like his father. David Baird hai struck his top form again, in defiance of overwork, in Western New York, whither he has removed from Rochester, N.Y. with his usual demonic energy and thirst for doing things. His letter runs to thousands of lines, leaving no room for his signature. F. W. Bowen finds comfort in the gloom and mists of Sowcrby Bridge in the exercise of the pen and worship of the muse. We are eagerly awaiting the publication of a novel by him, and if it is not forthcoming he will hear more about it. F. Laws continues in the pages of the New Statesman and has set us more problems to unhinge our brains than ever he did at school. We wish he would tell us something of how he does it. Recent letters indicate that Horace King, the Rev. P. H. F Iter, A. C. Dunthome, A. W. Walton, 1). H. Lee, and K. B. Crosby, are all doing well, and most of them working hard. To all these Old Boys who are mindful of us we owe a debt of gratitude—may their letters never grow shorter, and their pens never go short of a nib.

Twentieth Annual Dinner. If there were some hints in the account of the Dinner of 19.?0 that we were not entirely satisfied there could be no doubt whatever that the gathering on December 2*2nd, 1037 at the Queen's Hotel was one of the most successful of the lengthening series. A particularly pleasing feature was the fact that a really considerable number of our younger members had taken advantage of the cheaper price for those who had just left school so that the total attendance, though not a record, was among the most satisfactory we have had. After Mr. David Shepherd had started us on the round of post-prandial activities with his customary song the President (J. Wilkinson, Esq.) called on Mr. H. W. Inman to propose the toast of 11 The School." Mr. Inman complained that he was not well, and appeared to be taking medicine for his complaint. We cannot pretend that we followed the whole of his argument point by point—there were dark hints of lurid deeds in the school of his day and cryptic allusions to doughty achievements of later years—but his main topic (and this topic has, of recent years, seemed to replace the kindly irony at the expense of the staff which was the hardy perennial of former speeches in proposing the school) was the complaint that the activities of the Association are too restricted. Mr. Inman would like to see sectional activities as in the early days—and especially more 11 done in sport. His wishes would extend even further than this : why should not the Association found a new religion ? or run a pub. ? or both ? Mr. A. Walker conducted community singing with a poker. It was a pleasure to see him still the Albert of school days, when he could always contribute mirth and liveliness without a shadow of offence—a happy combination which is not always so common as we should like to see. Our old friend Mr. Horace Drinkel followed with striking impersonations of Dickens1 characters. We should have liked the School Certificate people to hear his Uriah Heep. Dr. Kinnes replied as happily as usual. He thinks that Head Masters have a harder life than is generally realised, and embarked upon a series of nautical metaphors in which he likened himself to a steersman. Eventually he had—meta• phorically speaking—to strike his flag (we hope this means what we think it does !) and become—oratorn ally speaking—a land• lubber. This speech was followed by a novel and a very pleasing interlude. Marcello, who has appeared in his time with Bertram Mills' and Sangers' Circuses, entertained us with a truly excellent conjuring display. We understand that as a result of this portion of our programme numerous Old Stocktonians at subsequent Christmas and Newr Year festivities were seen—late in the evening—trying to balance cigarette papers on their respective noses but without any outstanding success. Next it was the turn of the President who proposed the toast of the guests, Mr. Eric Bellingham. LL.B., Town Clerk of Stockton, and E. W. Shields, Esq. Mr. Shields, who was the life and soul of our entertainment last year, replied by giving us a very acceptable recitation. It fell to Mr. Bellingham to give us the main speech of the evening. He began by rallying us delicately on the obvious jollity of the assembly. He affected to have discovered the reason why we required no less than three Presidents and considered it not unlikely that some of our members would tell how every one of the six Town Clerks present at the dinner spoke well. He established a cloce personal touch with our Association for he had learned from the Stocktonian that the new Town Clerk of Aberystwyth is our Mr. J. F. Guile. Now the post vacated by Mr. Bellingham to come to Stockton had been filled by Mr. Guile's predecessor so that he felt himself to be something of a benefactor of the Old Stocktonians (at second remove!). Moreover he had discovered an item in the magazine at which he must protest. Reference was made to the " exile " of Mr. T. D. Olver in Burnley. Now he was a native of Burnley and he felt sure that Mr. Olver would find so many good friends there that he would no more be inclined to consider residence in Burnley as 11 exile " than he himself could view life in Stockton in any such way. Mr. Bellingham pleaded with us as an Association to take an interest in Stockton, its history and tradition; for Stockton well deserved and was well worth all the interest which we could give to it. He had found in a room of the Town Hall a fine Punch Bowl mounted on wheels and complete with ladle which had doubtless circulated at meetings of the Town Council in more spacious days. Perhaps it was unfortunate that those days had passed. 12 Mr. Bellingham had other advice to give us. He referred to the school's magnificent year in athletics and hoped th:\ this would he an incentive to the Association to go ahead once more on the lines that Mr. Inman had suggested. He teminded us that a recent Act of Parliament recommended to Town Councils that money might be granted in aid to properly constituted associations like ours to further athletic activities. Perhaps the ratepayers might not be too pleased to hear him make such a recommendation to us for tatepavcrs complained very readily and about many and curious things. Not that he wasUOt espec• ially pleased that ratepayers should take an interest in the way in which their money was spent; indeed he felt that Old .Stocktonians might well take a keener interest in civic affairs, and make it an aim and a policy to be prominently concerned in the life of their district. Mr. Bellingham rose late in the evening, but had no difficulty in commanding the close attention of his audience. The speeches that we have had from our Gue-ts of Honour have often reached a high standard: the Speech of the Evening of t';e 1037 Dinner, in its humour, its interest and its serious appeal ranks high in a good series.

And now it was time for 11 Auld Lang Syne M sung with the customary gusto and enthusiasm. We led sure that a good proportion of the guests will have resolved not to miss the 1038 dinner—and we commend their good taste. There were present— G. G. Armstrong, G. W. Atkinson, F. \V. Baker, W.

Dance, 1938. On this occasion circumstances left us little choice in selecting a date tor the dance, and we were compelled, not without considerable misgiving, to hold it on the first Monday in the year, namely on January 3rd. Our doubts proved fortunately to be unfounded, for practically the same number 11 of Old Stocktonians and their friends assembled for the happy occasion as for its predecessor of 1937, and once again we are pleased to say that the dance was as successful as any we have held in recent years. We did not lose money though unfortunately we might have made more and the presence of a few more would not only make it even more cheerful for the faithful 250 who come year by year but gladden the hearts of those on whose shoulders rests the responsibility of promoting the affair. We were delighted to have with us our President and Mrs. Wilkinson who gracefully presented the prizes to the lucky ones, and delighted once again to welcome Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bond whose presence we have come to regard as essential to the success of an Old Stocktonian Dance. Remember then Thursday, Jan. 6th at the Maison de Danse. Why not 300—if not more ?

Poor Children's Treat. It is a very impressive fact to note how this evergreen function seems to have claimed the affections of Old Boys. Contributions come from all parts and make us realise as on no other occasion, in how many distant places our old boys are to be found. One considerable pleasure connected with the treat is indeed the recognition yet once again of the old familiar handwriting folded o\?r the welcome contribution and expressing yet once again a message of cheer which improves with annual repetition. Good habits never stale. And the same must be said of the treat itself and the thousand little acts which go before it as a preparation, and on which so much of its success depends. We are never lost for breath with which to blow up balloons and willing hands to distribute them, after conveying hundreds of cups of tea to our little guests. It is pleasing to note too how many old boys returning to the town for Christmas love to turn in once more on treat night to add their noise to the disorder which we claim to enjoy. May our treat on Thursday 29th be as jolly and noisy as ever, and once again may we say how much we like to see senior boys from school with us. There is much to do in preparation at all times of the day.

Cricket : Old Boys v. The School. We could not have hoped for better weather for such a match from the spectators' point of view, and we were also fortunate to be able to enjoy the green delight and club facilities of the Stockton Cricket Club's ground. What better surroundings could an "old- tinier'' wish for browsing over the history of the School than the sunlit turf in front and the warm wall of the refreshment pavilion behind, with a nicely regulated procession of batsmen to and from the wicket ? It proved quite a sporting match, with a draw satisfying every• body. The Old Boys s.-t the Bchool a not impossible task and the School responded well after a few early misfortuues. 15 We must tliank Mr. Baldwin tor making the match possible. It is good to know that he is still interested in the School and willing to help us where he can. OLD BOYS L. Beaumont (Stncktoin lbw 1>. Wing ...... 2 A. Kobinson (unattached) b. Wing ...... 0 J.

SCHOOL REPORTS.

School Sports. Since the weather plays so important a part in determining whether Sports Day shall be a success or a failure (would we make ourselves better understood if we said, a wow or a flop?), we ought in gratitude to record that Friday, June 17th, 1888, was an ideal day for sports. Of the impressions that remained the one absolutely out• standing was the completeness of the victory of the Victoics Ludorum of both Senior and Middle School. Of the eight events on which the Senior School results are decided. 11. Rutledge was first in six; a Senior victor with 18 points is altogether outstanding. 16 Scarcely Lets impressive and even more engrossing was the victory of A. Barker of the Middle School. In this case six events are at issue. Barker was first alone in five of these and tied for first place in the remaining one. It is not long since the ages of competitors were divided into three sections instead of two, so that it is not altogether surprising that Middle School records should be breakable, but Barker's achievements were quite exceptional, and. in a number of cases, competitors who wen second or even third did better than the previous record. I his is particularly encouraging. We had feared lest last years* success m the Inter-School Sports might prove a flash-in-the-pan, but we look forward hopefully to a succession of keen athletes to help us when we talk with the enemy at the gates! We rejoiced at the victory of the Grammar School in the Inter-School Relay Race, but -hall hope to recapture the Cup at their sports next year. We were sorry that Dr. Kinncs was prevented by illness fiom being present. The Mayoress, Mrs. J. I'.. Wilyman, presented the prizes and both she and the Mavor spoke aocptablv to the a.-.-embled school. Anion>: the awards this year there was an unusual and a pleasing addition, Certificates and the Bronze Medal of the National Life Saving Society being presented on this occasion to G. Reed. His is a fine achievement and an example to be followed.

Inter-School Sports. The hkventh Intel-School Sports Meeting was the first of those under the new system which decrees that all meetings shall be held at Darlington as the most convenient centre for the competing schools. Henry Smith School, Hartlepool, took their place tor the first time in our Inter-School Group. We started very shakily. At the end of the second event we were credited with only one pathetic point out of a possible twelve. Things brightened up after that. Tingle tied for second place in the High Jump and gave us four more points; then the Junior Relay team, undaunted by their depressing outside position and the climbing of a considerable slope which goes with that position, ran with fine spirit and were comfortably third. After Rutleclge had gained a fine victory in the Hurdles we rose to thiid place and kept that position to the end. Kendall ran very well for his second in the Quarter, and Archer ran with splendid judgment to give us another second in the Mile. It is rather remarkable that, however weak we may have been as a whole, we have always kept our grip on the Mile race. Rowe and Wynzar in the past won it for us more than once each, while last year C'oulson set up a new record. Alas ! this record was beaten this year by the Barnard Castle man who really ran a fine race. W ill no hero set to work to recapture it for us next year? We were given rather a had send-off in the Senior Relay and, though the others of the team struggled bravely, the added handicap of the outside position effectively prevented them from doing much to reduce the initial lead. h was perhaps too much to hope that we should retain the ("up won last year so we may be satisfied for this time to stand a good third of seven schools. Still, the aim is to carry away the Cun isn't it ? RESULTS. BA Bishop Auckland; BC—Barnard Castle; C—Coatham ; D—Darlington; HS—Hartlepool; M—Middlesbro. ; S—Stockton. 1 2 3 4 5 6 iOO yards c.

Inter-School Cross Country Race, March, 1938. The race this year was run at Newcastle, the schools competing being Coatham, Darlington, Middlesbrough, New• castle, Stockton, and Sunderland. It was unfortunate that, owing to the larger field, the shorter run (estimated at 1\, and a hitch in the arrangements, it was impossible to place the schools in their correct order. The onlv definite result was that Sunderland were undoubtedly first. Stockton ran very well in view of the fact that practically the top half of the team was unable to compete, and we had to run four reserves. School team : Allen, Archer, Bull, Happer, Hardie, Harvey, Patterson, Pickup, Porter, Scott.

The Weatherhead Cup.

The annual race for this trophy was held in July on the Sports' field of the Constantinc College, Middlesbrough. The four schools competing were Middlesbrough High School, Middlesbrough Junior Technical School, Stockton Grammar School, and Stockton Secondary School, the latter represented by Goodwin and Scott. Getting off to a good start, Scott led the field for three-quarters of the lap, closely followed by Goodwin, until Andrews of the Grammar School took over the lead in the final " sprint-in " to win in a close finish returning the good time of 50 seconds. Chambers of the Grammar School also moved up with his team-mate and narrowly beat Goodwin to the tape, thus robbing us of the first position in team placings.

Rugby, 1937-8. This has been a season memorable even more for the keenness shown by the whole school for " Rugger " than for the wonderful success of the 1st and 2nd XV's. The 2nd XV had not, unfortunately, a very full fixture list, but that did not prevent them from turning out for Saturday morning practices, a fact which promises well for the future. Of thirteen school matches played, eleven were won, one drawn, and one lost. This result shows a success spread over the whole season, a steadiness surprising in that the XV suffered the great loss of II. I). Race half way through the season. Race is a glorious scrum-half, always a joy to watch. l'J L. Brown took his place and gradually proved himself a reliable member of the team. When K. L. Coulson also left desperation almost set in,—we thought of various times when he had saved the situation with a kick to touch or a skilful run through the enemy threes and forwards when dangerously near our goal- line. C. I'rwin played full-back for a time but it was not his position and he returned to the forwards where he was ever a towering figure around whom vigorous loose scrums gathered. Eventually, however, D. Smith became full-back. .smith is not remarkable either for great si/e or for athletic prowess, but in a way he is typical ot this season because his enthusiasm was an inspiration to all and his game was sound although not brilliant. The seven colours given this year went to Rutledge, Tingle, Harvey, Kendall, Orriss, Watson, and Williams. Rutledge, renowned for his ' swerve ' was out of action during the earlier part of the season because of a broken collar-bone. When he began playing again E. Tingle, who had been playing fly-half went to the centre-three position. He, Orris and Kendall were three of the best tacklers on the team. Moore, Watson and Williams gained fame because of their superb ball-control in forward rushes. Meetings were held in Room II each Monda> at 4-5 p.m. for " All Interested " and gatherings of about thirty ussed points from games played on previous Saturdays. Mr. Dumble clarified many situations with the aid of diagrams and explained various aspects of the game. On Friday evenings before matches we reminded each other of several essentials and rules of play; on two occasions Mr. Dumblc discussed scrum-half and full-back play in detail. A Rugby library was also begun and by the way, will borrowers see that they return books at the end of the season ? It was good to have fairly large attendances at home matches; Mr. Baker and C. Hill did much to encourage the boys to turn out. The 1st XV finally consisted of : L. Brown, Brown. Happer, Harvey, Heathcote, Ireland, Kendall. Moore, Orris, Rutledge, Smith, Tingle, Urwin, Watson, Williams. Reserve: Collier.

Cricket, 1938.

Cricket has had an interesting season. The results and main averages are below. In a summer not entirely remarkable for its dryness no match has had to be cancelled on account of rain, so both teams have been able to complete all the original list of fixtures, though some of the afterthoughts had to be scratched. We have tried several innovations to meet the difficulties under which we have to play the game. Refreshments have been served at the field to lengthen the time available for matches, nets have been instituted for every Friday evening, and junior games have been arranged to give match practice to as wide a group as possible. These are some of them. While none can be described as wholly satisfactory at present they have all been partial solutions of their various problems. 20 One very satisfactory feature of the programme arranged was the match between the School and the Old Boys. We hope this will be a regular feature of the fixture list in future years. C. Hill has made a very satisfactory captain, even down to winning the toss on most occasions. As the best all-rounder he will be a great loss when we come to build next year's team. He was awarded a Sutcliffe bat under the News-Chronicle scheme for his bowling performance against Middlesbrough High School of 8 wickets for 8 runs. Avery obtained two bats for his scores of Co against Middlesbrough High School and 82 (not out) against Great Ayton Friends' School. Hill's 61 (not out) in the Old Stocktonian's match earned even the approval of those who have not seen a cricket match these last twenty years. Others who have scored well on occasion are Porter, Watson (the vice-captain and another useful all-rounder) and Rutledge. In the bowling, apart from Hill, that of Wing, with nearly 50 wickets for some 5 runs each is a fine performance, while Rutledge came along late in the season with some good figures. The Second Eleven has given 28 players a game. Its results are not so remarkable as those of the First, but the members of it seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Nothing, surely, can illustrate the undismayed gallantry of the captain and his team better than the occasion when they were faced with two opponents in one morning, as a result of a mistake in the fixtures. They drew with the first and beat the second, all in 31 hours. RESULTS, FIRST ELEVEN. Mav 7 Colts W 88 49 14 H A. J. Daws .n 8 S. w 88 (6)* 64 21 A Middlesbro' U.S. w 123 86 28 A Henry Smith S.

Tennis Tournament The Tennis Tournament this year was carried through with great success.

Literary and Historical Society, Session 1937-8. The session 1937-38 proved to be a highly successful one for the society in many ways. In the first place, we may congratulate ourselves on our achievements in the Inter-School Debating Competition which was inaugurated this year. The schools included in this competition are Darlington Grammar Scnool, Middlesbrough High School, Stockton Grammar School, Bishop Auckland Grammar School and Stocktou Secondary School. We defeated Stockton Grammar School and Middlesbrough High School and, meeting Darlington Grammar School in the final and deciding round of the contest, we drew and so hold the championship and the trophy in conjunction with them. We must record our deep debt of gratitude to those gentlemen who consented very kindly to act as judges at these debates: — Mr. Robson at Stockton; Mr. Shewell at Middlesbrough; Mr. H. B. Lawson, II.M.I., at Darlington. The school is indebted to Messrs. Hill and Watson who represented it throughout the competition. These were our representatives also when after the lapse of a year, we regaind the much-coveted Spark Cup. The entrants for this debate were four : Queen Victoria High School, Stockton Girls' Secondary School, Stockton Grammar Scnool and ourselves. The righteous may not long be held from what is theirs. 88 The Headmaster's prize for debating was awarded to Mr. C. Hill for his services as principal speaker in these two competitions. A new feature and one which we hope to repeat was our visit to the Stockton Boys' Club where we shared with its members an evening of gymnastic and parlour games, the latter of which proved to be usetul as an aid to the digestion of an txcellent supper provided by our hosts. We were entertained to four lectures of considerable interest. Lt.-Commander Glover spoke on " The Life and Work ol the British Navy;" Dr. Panes <>l the l.C.I. delivered to a huge audience a lecture entitled " Flame," while Master Parks acted as his assistant in his experiments ; Major Salt addressed us on the subject of the Spanish galleons which sailed between America and the Philippines in the days of Old Queen Bess; finally Mr. Armstrong described vividly the trip made to the Roman Wall by the school during the summer. To all our lecturers we convey our deepest thanks. A feature of our programme of lectures was that, like so many of the world's great states, it showed a leaning towards self sufficiency. A system was arranged whereby members of the society delivered lectures upon different countries, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. Illustrations in the form of lantern slides were provided by the publicity departments of the various Dominion Governments. Our lecturers were Messrs. Wing, Kendal, and Ireland. The annual party was its usual success and the excellence of the food was equalled only by the excellence of our member's appetites. Mr. Jones, the honorary member for the year was amongst the most appreciative of those present The most noteworthy feature of the evening was a curious game of cards conceived, arranged and conducted with great ingenuity by Mr. Rattcnbury. This, its author casting his eyes downwards said, in a tone of great self-depreciation, might be called crazy Whist. Suffice it to say that Mr. Jones, the winning gentleman, managed to amass in only twelve hands a score which might have raised Mr. Bradnian's Test Aveiage. Our session ended with the annual debate with the Girls' School which was once again a great success, if not a triumph. In the Intel-House debating competition Red House and Blue House tied for first place. It is a heartening thing to note the encouraging dimensions of the attendances at these inter- house debates for it seems to speak of a fine house spirit in the school. The Society would like to appeal not only for a continuance of the splendid support it has received but also for the appearance of a number of new faces in the session 1938-39. Too many still lightly scan the notices in the basement without any serious thought of turning up. G.C.W.

School Journeys. There was no contintcntal journey in 1938 because of an unexpected difficulty in arranging for the conducting of the party which was projected. Subject to the existence of a suitable 24 continental situation, there will be one in 10,'tf) and boys and parents who are interested would be well advised to give earnest consideration to the matter at an early date. The historical excursion this year went to Kirkham Priory, Castle Howard and Byland Abbey. The day was fine except for a slight shower at Kirkham and everybody seemed to enjoy the journey through Bilsdale and the beautiful Vale of Pickering; some enjoyed the exploration of the domestic arrangements of the abbeys; others were interested in the armorials over the gateway at Kirkham and many were impressed by the stately eighteenth century architecture of Castle Howard and the pictures Which it contains. We left the moor above Byland (where we had our teas) cleaner than we found it, and consumed noble quantities of Potato Crisps and lemonade outside the inn at the abbey gates. There is no mystery about the identity of the member of the party who affixed a cigarette card to the top of one of the buses but theic is some admiration for the ingenuity with which he managed to do it. R. T. Shields is to be con• gratulated on the success of photographs which he took of the interior of Castle Howard. The thanks of all arc due to Messrs. Rattenbury and Mann who accompanied the party and to M. II. (allcndar who interrupted his long vacation for the same purpose. A profit of £1/7 11 was made on the excursion and handed over to School funds.

CRICKET TEAM 1938

Speech Day. Speech Day took place as usual in the Jubilee Hall on the 10th December, 1987, when once again a crowded audience was assembled under the Chairmanship of Alderman W. Newton, Chairman of the Governors. The Headmaster in his Report had reason to congratulate all concerned on the good work accomplished during the previous Session, b >th inside and outside the School. His references to the various activities of the School showed that all were in a lively and prosperous condition, and that the body was being cultivated as well as the mind, while the lengthy list of Old Boys' Successes detailed in the Programme D -'i d ad liti mil pr > if, if such iude.'d was required, of the .-chool's general efficiency. Perhaps the chief event. In- said, during the session, had been the Qeneral Inspection -the first which the School had had for some eleven years. The Report which MM.I. issued after a week's very thorough and careful examination, was extremely gratifying. On practically all points the Examiners were full of high praise and commendation, and. indeed, expressed surprise that such good work had been accomplished under conditions by no means satisfactory. We were not surprised, added Dr. Kinnes. that tin- Report was such a good one, because we knew in our own hearts and without any mock-modesty, that the work w'nich had been accomplished by Masters and boys alike was indeed good ; we felt we had nothing to fear. Mr. T. B. Tilley, Director of Education for the County, presented the Prizes. Some anxiety was felt before the meeting began that he had been snowed up en route ; as it was, he arrived somewhat late and with profuse apologies. After congratulating the Headmaster on his Report and upon the excellent work accomplished during the past session, he asked himself ami he asked his audience whether there was really any need for a new school at all. He felt that the Headmaster and his colleagues had got, and were still getting out of the hoys, all it was possible to get from the intellectual and academic point of view. He hastened, however, to assure his hearers that a new school was really coming, and he delighted the audience by a full description of what the new school would be like when Completed. But, he continued, the art of learning does not in itself require a palatial building, and education, which is a preparation for life, can be acquired as well in a poorly built school as in a more costly building. Boys must learn, he went on, that life is something more than mere utilisation of facts, and a man. however learned, is not necessarily a wise man. On the other hand, environment plays a very big part: if a boy grows up in mean and narrow surroundings the chances are he will become a mean and narrow-minded man. Youth Should be provided with spacious buildings and modern surroundings, and it was this purpose he had in his mind when he formed the proposals for the new school and submitted them to the Education Committee. 1 Ie concluded by reminding his hearers of the importance of using leisure hours properly and he caused some merriment by the pointed and witty remarks he made about massed amusement, the huge circulation of the cheaper type of newspapers and the like. He also commented severely upon the menace of standardisation,—standard• isation of dress, speech, and. if we were not careful, of minds. This n. he said, is the home oi democracy. We accept democracy in 26 England as part and parcel of our being, the very essence and core of our existence, and we must be cartful lest in its seeds lies the possibility of itfl own decay. Other countries wire to-day chadenging the ideals for which we. a.- a nation, stood ; they were introducing their systems into schools among the youngest of children. Faith in democracy could be the only source of happiness and profit for us. We must avoid tin- Standardised mind because the basis of true democracy was freedom of thought and of speech. Mr. Kays choir let us hear some delightful singing, not the least of which wa the solo ]>y the winner of the Douthwaite Prize for singing. The items by the Bohool Orchestra showed a commendably high standard of playing, especially when it is remembered that at the beginning of each new session the formation of the Orchestra has to begin again It was evident that the audience appreciated the high standard of the music. After votes if thank< to the Director by Alderman Alderson anp Mr. W. Baker, Deputy Headmaster, the proceeding! were (dosed by the singing of •• Jerusalem " in which all joined with great good will.

Music. The Wednesday evenings have continued to attract their handful of faithful devotees, and we really think that the hand has been a little fuller this last winter. Mr. K. Robinson, L.R.A.M., and Mr. J. Marshall have again left us much in their debt for their kindness in coming to us, often at inconvenience to themselves The session opened with a performance of Dvorak's Trio in Minor and, later, Trios by (iodard ano Neils (iade, both delightful to hear were performed. An out-tanding successful rendering was that of Saint Saens' early but very neat and tuneful Trio in F. On other occasions a programme of shorter pieces was played, and on one evening Mr. Robinson played a violin sonata by Dunhill. Mr. J. M. Jones on his visit gave rather special place to operatic airs, and we were enabled to estimate the varied aims and achievements of the composers of the Prologue to Pagliacci, The Siege of Kazan (Boris Goudonov), The Faery Song (The Immortal Hour) and an air from the The Masked Ball. We were especially pleased to welcome Master Charles Potter v.ho showed how much could be done on the violin by a very small boy given the necessary earnestness and perseverance. Xot the least of the attractions of that evening was the beautiful singing tone of his father, Mr. H. Potter, in a rendering of Schubert's Are Maria arranged for the violin. The orchestra were a little more ambitious on Speech Day. Previously we have thought it necessary to play to the gallery a little by ending our programme with a more or less ' popular ' march. This year after playing 11 Elfin Market " by Geoige Dyson and an arrangement for strings of a slow movement of one of Haydn's Piano Sonatas, wc refused to compromise and ended with a rousing performance of Haydn's Military Symphony, First Movement for strings and piano duct which quite brought the house down. The happy afternoon of the House Music Competition is now a well established feature of the winter term. The afternoon would not be what it is without Mr. Gavin Kay. There is no doubt about the judging when it is in his hands. The Blue House again carried off the award for musical excellence. We have not grumbled for a year or two so perhaps we may say this year once more that the number of hoys who help and encourage us is far too small. We are sure that those boys who enter with enthusiasm into all the musical opportunities we offer them are laying up for themselves a degree of pleasure and happiness in later life which they are quite incapable of estimating at present. In any case wc would sav that those boys who take no interest in any of the out of school activities offered to them are thiowing away valuable opportunities and. !>v narrowing their education to mere classroom work are rejecting benefits which they will live to regret. And their parents should iee to it now. We should be glad to welcome to the orchestral practices Old Stocktonians who are free to attend. In particular we should welcome those who play the viola or the 'cello. 28
