ment. 4 LONG RIGG AND THE JUBILEE FUND cHool PREFECTS senior The full use of Long Rigg continued in the first half of this term when a series of courses were run for boys in the lower fifth forms. These were well supported and the system of courses at Long Rigg is now becoming well established. The games room at the hostel has been erected and the finishing touches to the flooring and electrical system are being made now. We are also undertaking the building of benching in the Laboratory and other improvements to this room. Our next objective is the provision of a large electric cooker in the kitchen suitable lor the numbers going up to the hostel and an improvement in the lighting both in the kitchen and in the Laboratory. .!unio,r A total of more than t6,200 has so far been subscribed to the Jubilee Fund and the Trustees feel that the hostel can be kept going permanently with an endowment fund if fifty new f1 seven-year Covenants are taken out each year. An appeal to the parents of new boys this year brought a response of more than sixty such Covenants and the Trustees feel confident that such a response will be forth- coming in future years also. The financial future of the hostel, therefore, seems assured. Farnworth, S. C. Finney, d.M. Francey, C. Gayton, I. D. Gray" B. Gabbott, C. M. Hale, C. R. Humphreys, S. J. Heap, M. G- At this time it would seem appropriate to say what a Haddock, tremendous gain to the school Long Rigg has been and to M. Hart, C. H. Hale, C. R. G. A. Harrison, D_ express gratitude io all those, whether parents, staff or Old Boys, as well as boys in the school, who have done so much. not only to raise money but also in work at the hostel to make the project such a success. There is every reason to hope that the hostel will play a major part in the education of the boys of King George V School for many years to come. lt is certainly a most worthy memorial of the school's Golden Jubilee.

Chairman": N. S. Whiteley Secretary: J. G. Liddle Treasurer: R. Hepworth Lower Sixth Representative: J. lnce

The society was launched at the beginning of the term when the two committees, the above, and representatives from the High School, invited members of the school to a general meeting to discuss the aims of the Society. There followed a trip, which was agreed upon at the general meeting to the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King in Liverpool, and the Anglican Cathedral, where a. guirJed tour was also arranged. This was conducted by one of tne ministers of the church, and proved to be very illurninating. The trip to the Catholic Cathedral was fortunate to coincide with a marriage ceremony, and thus the atmo- sphere of the Cathedral could be appreciated to the {ullest extent. The next event was the showing of two architectural films, held at the High School. The films themselves did not live up to expectations, but a lively discussion ensued, whilst the healthy attendance gave promise for the future. The concluding event of the term will be for the memb- ers to decorate, by way of paper sculpture, an old people's home, in time for Christmas. J.G.L.
