SCHOOL NOTES. A ^ * The Editor apologises for combining two issues into one, with the publication of this Magazine. There was some delay in gathering copy for the latter half of last year, and so the old and new Editors agreed to combine the whole year's activities into the one issue. You will find that the activities of the half year just completed are given first. Old Boys, particularly, may rest assured that the Magazine will be forthcoming every half year in future. From this edition onwards the "Chronicle" is in the hands of Mr. Reece. He has formed a small magazine committee, consisting this year of Clayton, Lund and Lowe, to help with its compilation. At the beginning of the year we welcomed Mr. E. C. Smith, an Old Boy, on to the Staff. After taking his B.A. at Natal University College, with a First in Latin and Maths., and winning an Elsie Ballot Scholarship to Cam bridge, Mr. Smith took a year of his Tripos course at Sidney Sussex. His long leave, spent back at home here, coincided with the outbreak of war, and he was advised not to return yet. He leaves us again at the half year to join the Artillery. Mr. J. H. Hopkins was away for the first month of the year, being in camp with the Natal Engineers at the Premier Mines. During his absence hiswork was taken by Mr. W. joyce, who quickly settled into the routine of the School, and who is now a near enough neighbour to keep in easy contact with us. The war came home to us for the first time when Mr. P. Milner and Mr. Hopkins left us to join the forces, on Sunday, 19th May. Mr. Milner, who saw active service in the last war, has been with us for eight years, during which time he has had an outstanding influence on the life of the School. Able to teach almost anything, and of a cheerful disposition, he is going to be sadly missed, and we wish him luck and a safe return. Mr. Hopkins went right through the School as a boy, finishing with a First Class Matric. At Natal University College he had a fine record, finishing up with his M.A. (Latin, Honours). He has been on the staff for a year and a half, and by his keenness and conscientiousness has put in some very good work. We wish him, too, a safe and quick return. The other senior members of the staff have been asked to remain at their posts. W "
