EDITORIAL. Now that we have got to know him well, we should like to take this opportunity, after his second term, of recording our appreciation of the way in which the Headmaster has settled so well into his place and become truly one of us. It is not for us to voice our opinions too loudly, but we are sure that in Mr. Kittermaster we have someone who has the qualities necessary to govern the School, in such a way as to increase the standard of work and the position of the School in direct proportion to our expansion in numbers. This term has brought about a revival of many School activities which have not been seen in the School for a long time. We consider this revival, and the wholehearted support that has been received, as an indication that the members of the School are beginning to realise that, if they want such activities, it is up to those interested to organise them and not to write letters to the Editors of this Magazine asking what has happened to all the societies that used to flourish in the School. The health of the School has been excellent, except for an isolated case of scarlet fever. No one else developed it and we continued for the rest of the term without mishap. To conclude we would like to wish everyone good luck for the future, especially as, with the recent lowering of the calling-up age, so many of our senior members will soon be serving in the armed forces.
