EDITORTAL NOTICES Approximately 1,600 copies of the Magazine are currently printed (this number increasing annually), costing R800, or 50c a copy. Of these, rather less than 900 are sent to Old Boys. About 45 per cent of Old Boys receive the Magazine, the balance being either 'lost' Old Boys (including 100 Life Members), or ones who have not paid any subs. The figure of 45 per cent compares well with the 1 per cent of one of England's biggest Public Schools. The compilation of Old Boys' news is the Editor's biggest task, by far, though an agreeable one. News is always welcome. We congratulate D. M.('Tiny') Sinclair, foundation scholar, on becoming the first Old Boy to reach the age of60. We also congratu late the following on reaching their half-century during the course of 1965: W. H. C. Aitchison, R. J. Crawford, L. G. Capstickdale, T. H.Collins, R. M.Driman,A. M.Foss,A.G.Kirk,T. H.Knottenbelt,G.Mann,D.C.Maclean, A.B.Theunissen,N.Vinnicombe, J. H. Worth. Of these, we have 'lost' Collins, Mann, Maclean, and Vinnicombe.
