No. 152. EDITORIAL.
It would be almost impossible to write an Editorial this term, without some reference to the first weeks of term when we wondered whether anything was worth while. But so much has been written and said of the crisis by others more capable than ourselves, that we feel it would be superfluous to say any more. Let us simply express our heartfelt thanks that we can write this Editorial in Peace. Meanwhile the School continues to flourish. The XV's have retained that new burst of vigour that appeared last year. Victories were not so frequent, it is true, but the spirit and determination were there. In work, the number of Certificates gained last July was well up to our high standard. Still more societies have been formed : the Camera Club and the Stamp— we beg your pardon, Philatelic Society, are the two new organizations which have proved very popular. But we must utter our terminal complaint over this subject. We deplore the death of the Debating Society after its great revival last year. Its death is due, we feel, to those members of the School who expect the same group of people to run everything. Despite epidemics in the town, we have managed to keep free of illness, and this fact has helped us to overcome any disadvantages we may have felt through having shops out of bounds. The weather, too, has been very kind, and Rugger has not been held up at all. The term has in fact been free from all hindrances, and with so many activities particularly over the weekends, the adjectives " solid," and " stodgy," often
