MAY, 1916. 3 School Items. THE Second Term begins on Tuesday, May 30th. On March 8th the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church (Rev. W. H. Cooper, M.A., B.D.) was present at roll-call in the Memorial Hall. He was accompanied by Mr. Charles Shannon (Chairman of the Council), Rev. J. A Forrest, Rev. C. Neville, and Rev. J. Flynn. After a Scripture reading and prayer by Mr. Forrest, the Headmaster briefly welcomed the Moderator and introduced him to the school. The Moderator, in the course of an eloquent address to the boys, said that the Presbyterian Church had opened Colleges in various parts of the State because it recognised the value of a boy's life. He gave a graphic description of his own boyhood days among the aborigines, and humorously referred to present-day Austra­ lian boys as " a revised edition of the Australian natives" having special responsibilities. He urged them to show decision and determination and then they would gain their deserts. The Rev. J. Flynn spoke on " Dreamers," and put before the boys the claims of the ministry as a profession, asserting that to get men to "play the game" all over Aus­ tralia could best be done by ministers. J. I. Birnie has offered an annual prize to be given to the member of the cricket eleven who is adjudged the best fields­ man during the year, and who has at the same time shown keenness at the nets. This gift will be welcome, coming from our last year's popular senior prefect and cricket captain, and we thank him for it. Our thanks are due to another old boy, Archie Sinclair, who has expressed a desire to supply the Boarders' Reading- room regularly with the magazine " Life." Some of the senior boarders were granted permission to attend Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett's lecture, " With the Australians 4 THE PEGASUS. at Anzac," early in the term. They listened with great interest to the description of the early days of the Gallipoli campaign given by the famous war correspondent. A splendidly-framed photograph of the late Lieut. N. L. Campbell has been presented to the school by his father, Mr. Neil Campbell. It has been hung on the east wall of Room A., and serves as a daily inspiration to the present generation of junior Public candidates. Since the beginning of the term the boys in the Upper School have been allowed one period during the week in which they may exercise their vocal organs in singing suitable school songs or patriotic airs. At the earlier rehearsals there was merely a thin trickle of melody, but this has gradually increased in volume, and has at times even threatened to become a roaring torrent. The first public appearance of the Singing Class is awaited with interest. The Library has been subjected to its annual overhauling, and in consequence some of the older volumes that have served their day and generation have been rejected, and a number of up-to-date books have been substituted for them. A useful contribution of fourteen story-books has been re­ ceived from H. I. Gibb; another one has been given by I. A. Campbell. Those who have had the privilege at any time of walking hurriedly down the asphalt on the eastern side of the pavilion will be interested to know that the asphalt has been ruthlessly torn up and has been replaced by a small flight of steps. No longer will the engaging sight be seen of lady-visitors in high- heeled shoes or cricketers in high-sprigged boots pattering or clattering, as the case may be, down the mocking ramp, and ending with a frantic grab at the confronting uprights. The descent is now made with perhaps less dexterity but with certainly more dignity. PREFECTS, 1916. C. R. Clutterbuck. C. G. Carr. L. E. Reid. W. E. Macmillan. H. I Gibb. J. B. Hawkes (Senior Prefect). 6 THE PEGASUS. The annual meeting of the Debating Society was very well attended, and a large number of members is assured. H. I. Gibb was elected Secretary. The first meeting will be held early next term. Anzac Day was celebrated locally early in the term. Lady helpers, who had sweets to sell, were granted the "privilege" of invading the College grounds to practise the art of coin- extracting, using the College boys as media. They were very successful in their efforts, and did a brisk trade. The boys have also continued the custom, instituted last year, of offering regular contributions from their pocket money to the local Patriotic Funds. We welcome to the College Staff Messrs. A. E. Bayless- Hathaway, W. G. S. Johns and C. MacGregor, who have filled the vacancies left last Christmas. Each of them has entered heartily both into the classroom work and into the various outside activities of the school. Rev. J. A. Forrest has gone to Seymour to act as Chaplain for three months, starting from May 1st. If he is as popular with the "boys" there as he is with the College boys, his term should be a happy one. Mr. C. A. Cameron, who has been on the Staff for the last eight years, has accepted the position of Senior Science Master at the Geelong Grammar School. Mr. Cameron has done splendid service for the College, not only in the Senior Classes, but more particularly as coach of the Football Eighteen and chairman of the Athletic Sports' Committee. Our best wishes go with him in his new sphere. Mr. Howard Hitchcock very kindly sent us a parcel of beautifully made School Flags for use at the Public Schools' Boat Race. MAY, 1916. 7 Salvete.

As a challenging alternative to A Levels the IB requires students to study six subjects, a course in the Theory of Knowledge, and produce a university standard Extended Essay as part of their assessment. Universities around the world value the course as an excellent preparation, so much so that the pass level of 24 points is given the equivalent value of BCC grades at A Level. In fact 57% of Ellesmere students achieved the higher level Diploma by gaining more than 30 points, which is equivalent to 3 A* grades at A Level. In August our A Level students were also celebrating with a 97% pass rate including quite a number of outstanding performances. Despite a consensus amongst schools nationwide that marking standards had been set much higher, 50% of all grades awarded to Ellesmere students were in the top A*/B grades, with the girls notching up 60% of grades in the top A*/B Whilst heartfelt congratulations go to all students there were several particularly notable performances that are worthy of specific mention. The supply of medics each year remains constant with Emily Palmer (Shrewsbury), Head Girl, achieving A* and A grades to read Medicine at Birmingham and finding time to do the Extended Project and securing an A* in that too.

    Memories of Michaelhouse The First 100 Years < //e/?i(>r(C'S sf « /Jfe/iae//o(('S'e The First One Hundred Years 1896-1996 Introduction / remember, I remember the house where I was born, the little window w here the sun came peeping in at morn. Thomas Hood. As we grow older our memories become more precious to us, and most vivi dly we recall the turbulent years of our adolescence, our hopes and fea rs, our loves and hates, our triumphs and our failures. Memories of school days at Michaelhouse are unique for each individual, b ut the photographs and stories in this book, reflecting each decade of th e school's hundred years, will, we hope, evoke for every old boy a pleasa nt feeling of nostalgia. Each reader can people the familiar places with his own contemporaries and the staff of his day. Yesterday evening, Sunday 14th May, 1995, I was roaming around the estat e. Autumn leaves carpeted the ground and the setting sun bathed the vall ey in a romantic rosy glow. I felt nostalgic. As I passed by the chapel I thought of Charles Hannah making his annual visit and hopefully 'final ' farewell sermon. None of us cared to hear for the umpteenth time the o ld man's reminiscences, including how he had walked round the Oval with Canon Todd deciding where each tree was to be planted. Passing through t he passage way, where the staff nowadays collect their post from their p igeonholes, I remember it as the entrance hall of the Rectory, and I rec all dinner parties in these rooms which are now offices, Fred and Margar et Snell our gracious hosts.

  • Wisden Cricketers Almanack
    4.45 1 SCHOOLS CRICKET IN 2018 QPM REVIEW BY DOUGLAS HENDERSON After the hottest and driest summer since 1976 (when a hosepipe ban had come into force early in the season, and schools played on dustbowls) it was hard to recall the wet start. Matches were called off days in advance, and the first two rounds of the National T20 Cup were ravaged. But it turned into a glorious summer for schools cricket. Or so it might, had not the pressure of exams grown unbearable. The impression was that, though schools understandably pushed their students to work hard, it was in fact parents who drove the agenda. At one school, a senior master – who should have known better – refused to let his son play, or even practise, for the first XI during the five-week GCSE period. Elsewhere, a cricket master, when asked whether parents were incensed at paying vast fees for a summer term which barely existed, said complaints only arose when he insisted pupils play matches. Many schools reported it was almost impossible to field their best XI. This, surely, is madness – though whether anyone is prepared to stop it is unclear. Another cricket master spoke for most, perhaps, when he wrote “The season was as short as usual, and marred by other school withdrawals and exam disruption. But we soldier on in the hope that someone will save schools cricket one day!” sI’ve changed the quotation a The last word on this goes to David Elstone, chairman of the school sports little… committee of the HMC (the body representing many of the UK’s independent schools): It’s a real crisis for the future of cricket in this country.
