An Ed'itor has, as compensation for the spare time he uses, I suppose, the distinction of writing a prologue which, if read at all, is read as an epilogue. This Term we have triedJ to make " '£he Aluredian" like a school magazine, and, as you have already observed, it contains more articles and poems than usual, and actually a couple of illustrations. We came back this Term to a new Headmaster, and a new School. The improvements which have been made are scarcely short of miraculous, and we congratulate both the Headmaster andJ our hard worked Matron for the great work done in this field. We have now two common rooms for the Upper School. The Senior one contains comfortable leather chairs, a writing table, andl books and magazme~. The Junior one harbours the School wireless, a billiard table, a ping-pong table, comfortable chairs, the daily newspapers, and magazines such as "Punch" and the This Term we have revived the idea of each House giving a concert. Only one has been prod'uced so far, so a full account is not included. Accounts of all the concerts will be included in next Term's issue. The Alfred House gave their concert on Sund'ay, March 11th. Among the item~ were two amusing sketches, "The Dear Departed " and " A Collection will be Made," a chorus, and some popular songs. 4 T he A luredian.

The kitchen scene was good, Jennings, as Alice, being very natural, while Fear made a perfect cook. Fear's impersonation of this character was one of the best things in the show. The tea-party was very ffective, SHOOTING. Ladd Canney making a good hatter. One could not help liking the rose-tree setting of the queen's at home, one of the best of the scenes. With rather a young team there has been a marked improvement in Prior as king and Reed as queen brought the right regal touch to the our scores. We have been favoured with nearly perfect light on our picture. Sandover's playing of the duchess, too, was an admirable per match days, but it is noticeable that this Term's worst effort is con formance, while Gorrie i. brought down the house with his droll imita siderably better than last Term's best. The School has won the three tion of a cat. 'rhe grouping in this scene was very well thought out. matches fired, against ,Allhallow's, Newton, and Wellington. The result, It absolutely sparkled.

The only adverse criticism one oould offer score, however, was a good 70 points better than last year's. was that the speaking of the lines at times was too fast, and not Colours have been awarded to Corporals Fry and Dawson. suffioiently directed towards the audience.

Silence reigned over the mass of stone andl mortar known to its inmat s as Orcus, for 'twa& the time when all men of honest intentions were abed and the hour when the" powers of evil are xalted." Into this silence and darkness came an outsider-a man of the world. H e stopped and listened!. No sound broke the heavy silence of the night. All was well. The intruder made his way down the cloisters past a row of doors bearing names in red ink. Here his footsteps were silenced by the luxurious carpet which runs down Paradise Row. He drew near the main hall. Suddenly he stopp d! Someone was approaching with slow, weighty step's which betokened that their owner was deep in thought. The intruder darted into a room on his left. He soon made his exit considerably quicker than he went in, aided by the driving force of what seemed to him like the fumes from the pipes of about half the sailors in the British Navy. He made for the stairs acro~s the cloisters, and, shrinking back into the shadows, he waited for the approaching person to pass. A figure! passes by, clutching a letter in hi~ hand. His attitude sugge&tedl that he was expecting something good in that letter, and was keeping the treat of delightful expectancy as long as possible. The intruder heardl him repeating: " 0 Susan, Susan, lovely dear, My vows shall ever true remain." The figure passed on and out of hearing. The intruder descended from his hiding place and proceededl acro~s the hall. Some distance further on he came to an imposing double-doorway, which he perceived, by the light of his torch, to be Big School. Here he stopped in amaze ment. Strange sounds were issuing from behind the doors. A chirp ing like that of a newly hatched batch of chicken& was coming from within. This gave way to unearthly music which sounded as if the Sloshton-on-Mud Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted! by Razzlewangler, was trying to play" Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? " with a mixture of piccolos, jews' harps, and a few pairs of bellows, which were in an advanced state of chronic a&thma. He looked through a I3mall defect in the panelling of the door. Great was his astonishment when he dis covered that a rehearsal of " Alice in Wonderland" was being carried out by boys who lookedl as if they were the kind who were heard much but hardly able to be distinguished from the various I3pecies of minor plant life which grows in chicken runs. This performance was, a notice on the door informed him, copyright by t he E.J .H ., and had The Aluredian. 15 not to be communicated to the public by loud speaker or any other means. He watched until the performance ended, and then heard the aspiring actors chirping delightedly, "We'll pit it across the other boys; they won't dream of our having a rehear.sal at this time of the night." l 'he intruder had Been enough andl turned to go up some stairs opposite the Big School. His path was barred, however, by a remark able being, the like o£ which he had never seen before, a.nd which he at once put down to be the Loch Ness Monster out for a walk a few hundred mile!; south of its last imagined position. Seeing by the attitude of the monster that he was not weloome, he made his way to a door close by. A light was on in. the lOom, and, looking through the key-hole, he saw that some ingenious person had fitted up a loom insid'e and was turning out goods on the majSS production scale. He watched this interesting sight for a few minuteR, then withdrew. The gloom which now surrounded him did not seem to be very attractive, so he turned back the way he had come. All went well until he reached! the Main Hall. H ere he was passed by the same figure that he had encountered near the same place on hijS way down the cloisters. The person was ferociously ten.ring up a letter. Instead of the gentle words that he had been repeating earlier on, he was now savagely muttering :- ,( If nothing can make her, The Devil take her." Overwhelmed by the tragedy that he saw had happened to this person, the intruder hastened to leave the building. Silence remained heavy over buildings that he hadl just left, af:i he thankfully breathed the fresh air again. . INCONNU. There wn.s a young fellow called!

You will notice in this number of the magazine several appreciations, chiefly from Old Aluredians, of last Term's issue. We are glad that we managed to do part of what we set out to do, to make the ., Aluredian" more like its old! cheery self, and we hope that we shall be able to keep up the standard set last Term, though we are sorry to say that the School are not rising to the occa!>ion and co-operating with us as much as we should like. The weather this Term has been extremely kind to us, and has not seriously interfered with our outdoor sports once. It has also persuaded several people to go into fatigue dress! We welcome two add!ition!3 to our staff this Term. Mr. E. Karn, l\.LA., of FitzWilliam Hall, Cambridge, has been appointed Senior Classics Master, and P. G. Summers, Esq., an old Lancing boy, is our new Secretary. Mr. Hart has been Cricket Master, J. J. Y. Dawson Captain of Cricket, and T. F. T. Chambers Captain of Swimming. Our numbers continue to increase in a satisfactory manner. We hope next Term to be half as big. again as the, year before, andl will not be content unles!3 the School is twice its size within the next two years. The question of accommodation is not yet serious, but it will probably bEl necessary to open another dormitory. Minor alterations and improvements to the buildings have been proceeding apace, notably in the lower bathroom, where new basins have brought us thoroughly up-to-date. We now have a full-time carpenter and decorator, and hardly dare to walk, much less sit down, for fear of wet paint and! varnish. The metamorphosis of Meynell scob room into Classroom I. took place in the holidays. In time the other scob rooms will share, a like fate, but when the process is complete they will be restored as house common-rooms. We hasten to re-assure antiquarians that some of the scob!> at least will be preserved as museum pieces. We rejoice in a clean chapel this Term, and the work IS now pro ceeding of plastering the entrance, which has always been very shabby. 4 The Aluredian.
