Hazlewood STAFF CHANGES Mr. Persaud went off to the U.S.A. to study Medicine, Mr. Mike De Abreu went to Canada to study dentistry, Miss Lopes went to Canada to join her sisters and, believe it or not, she is teaching 8 to 10 year olds, boys and girls. We wish them every happiness and success in their new homes. Fr. Gill is away in England, and Mr. J. R. Singh has not yet returned from his holiday in the U.K. Mr. C. Martin, Mr. O. John and Mr. F. Birbalsingh have joined the staff. At the opening of term we were very short handed. The Royal Bank of Canada very kindly lent us Mr. Flavio Teixeira until the end of October to teach the Drawing and Geography in the lower school. Many thanks. As if to compensate for the loss of Miss Lopes, who has been at the College for thirteen years, we were very fortunate to be able to welcome Fr. Marrion back to the College. Now that we have had the extra burden of Sixth Form Physics for one full year, it is a great relief to have Fr. Marrion to help with the Science and Mathematics in the school.

But these results came out too late last year for inclusion in the Magazine. Tony Clarke was our best candidate in 1956 and it is very gratifying that he was awarded the first Demba Scholarship to U.C.W.I. L. A. Phillips was awarded one of the Government School Certificate Scholarships: the last winner of one of those scholarships was Jerry de Freitas, 50 we hope to hear more of Phillips in a couple of years time. Congratulations to them all. The 1956 Advanced Level Results were more or less as expected. Form 6 boys have many duties and many distractions, but good examination results are only obtained by steady work. The results of the first year who took one or two subjects were excellent and very promising for next year. ORDINARY LEVEL. - 28 boys from 5 A obtained 156 passes. This is good, but much better when it is remembered that many of these boys had passed one subject last year from U 4A and three of them had passed in three subjects. There were no failures in Latin or French, one failure in Additional Mathematics and only two in Scripture. The number of failures, however, in English Language and Literature were far too high. In 5 B, 22 boys obtained 80 passes: much better than in previous years.
