Towards the end of last term Mr. Bidgood accompanied the
Lower Science VIth to Birmingham University to hear two
lectures and to see two films. Unfortunately, when the time
came to leave, Goodfellow could not be found, but Mr.
Bidgood, unperturbed, continued with the complex return=
journey to thb station. Here the party, with the exception of
Mr. Bidgood, waited for Goodfellow, who finally arrived
about half an hour later and expressed his opinion of one
member of the party.
it
the beginning of term, we were very pleased to welcome
Sir John Hobson to the School. Sir John, after completing a
tour of the Sshool and seeing some of the pupils in their
lessons, took tea with the Headmaster and members of Staff.
The French Orals on May 8th inaugurated this term's G.C.E.
examinations which will be in progress until Friday, July 13th
when some of the VIth form will take the paper in Additional
Maths. We hope the date has no special significance.
'x
i
History was made at the School on May llth when the Tuck
Shop opened its doors for the flrst time, much to the disgust of
a certain member of the VIth form. However, even he now
{
patronizes the shop during the lunch hour.

On the afternoon of May 15th, fifteen German teachers of
English visited the School. They were particularly interested
both in the lessons taking place at the time and also in the
layout of the buildings.
I
A party of VIth Form girls visited The Herbert Art Gallery
and Museum, Coventry, in the evening of Friday, May 18th,
to hear Professor Alun Davies of University College, Swansea,
,
lecture on "New Ideas on The French Revolution".
On the day of the Consecration of Coventry Cathedral, May
25th, the School was given a holiday to commemorate this
great event.

It
was on May 31st that we held our first Annual Athletics'
Day. At the end of the afternoon the cups were preselted to
the captains of the winning Houses, Dudley boys and Neville
girls, by Mrs. C. H. Smalley, Chairman of the Governors. The
frophies had been kindly donated by Messrs. J. A. Moore and
P. H. Woodward.
{€
A Service for
Schools was held in Coventry Cathedral on
chosen by ballot, were
accompanied by Miss Jones, who had made a very fine banner
for the occasion.

June
lst. Our nine representatives,
We are pleased to record that at the Mid-Warwickshire Sports
on June +tfr at Oken School, our boys won each of their three
sections and the girls were second in each of theirs. Mr. T.
Ainsworth, Headmaster of Blackdown High School, presented
the Schools' Shield and relay trophy to our Higher Boys and
the Jubilee Cup to our Intermediate and Senior Boys combined.
The Whitsun half term holiday was taken from June llth to
l5th. We understand that Vth Forms took this opportunity
to revise for 55O" level examinations and Mr. Bidgood to "run
in" his new cat.
During the Whitsun holiday our athletes took part in the
Covenlry Cathedral festival of Sports and Games. Our Higher
Boys won the Schools' relay event and our Seniors were third
in their section.
Our congratulations must go to a large number of our boys
who had been selected to represent Mid-Warwickshire at the
Warwick County Sports on Saturday, June 23rd, at Nicholas
Chamberlain School, Bedworth. Mid-Warwickshire were
first in the Intermediate section, third in the Senior section,
and first in the Higher Boys section. It seems inevitable that
at least some of our boys will be chosen to go forward to
represent Warwickshire in the Inter-County Sports at Hull on
July 2l
st.

Many parents of IVth, Vth and VIth year pupils attended
a
meetin g at the School on the evening of June 26th, when they
had an opportunity of discussing their children's progress with
individual members of Staff.
Internal examinations were held during the week beginnirrg
Wednesday, July 4th.

At the time of going to
press, a Leaver's service has been
y:?nged to take place at School during the morning of July
16th, when the Ver1, Reverend R. T. Howard, Tormerly
Provost of coventry cathedral, will be
*preaching.
Several exsursions have been planned for the following day
and pupil9 will be taken to vari,ous places of interest. Ainong
these so far are visits to Arley coiliery, chedworth Roman
Villa, Cirencester and the Coiswolds, Wtripsnade zoo, and
Cadbury's Chocolate Factory.
Mr. Beal and Mr. Bidgood will be leaving us at the end of
term on July 20th. They were both old friends of many of us
whom th._y taught at Blackdown High School and we shall be
pa{icuJ arly sorry to see them leavel Mr. Beal is going back
to his home country in Northumberland, where h; hal been

.
On the other hand, we must bid a sad farewell to many of
our Fifth formers who will be leaving at the end of the term.
As always in the Summer Term, there is a large number of
them and space does not allow us to mention their names
individually. Some of them will have been with us at Blackdown since 1957 , and, of course, are very old friends. We shall
miss them all, but hope they will be eminently successful in
their chosen careers. No doubt, they too, will continue to
watch our progress with interest. Our best wishes go with
them.
MUSIC NOTES
The main event of the term as far as the Music is concerned
has been a concert held in the Hall for the pupils of the School
during a Thursday lunchtime.
Solo items were sing by Susan Gill with 'oThe Lark in the
Clear Air" and Jennifer Scothorn with "Art Thou Troubled?"
Both these singers acquitted themselves well and sang with
conviction, while Mitchell, Baskott and Penelope Gregory
contributed piano solos of a high standard. Lilian Walker
and Pauline Coton played two duets, "Greensleeves" and
"Orpheus in the Underworld", which, judging by the applause,
were much appreciated.
The choir contributed two items: they opend the programme
with "The
Heavens are Telling" and finished
"Hallelujah Chorus".

THE SCHOOLS' SERVICE AT
COVENTRY CATHEDRAL
The new Covenrtry Cathedral has, because of its revolution ary
design, caused much controversy and criticism. On the other
hand, it has not lacked admirers. During the last few weeks
this has been made abundantly clear by the crowds of people
who have come from the four corners of the earth to view it.
It was, therefore, with much enthusiasm that nine members
of the School, selected by ballot, waited on the sunny yet
windy afternoon of Friday, June lst, for transport to Coventry.
Miss Jones accompanied us and she had made for the occasion
a most delightful banner, which George, VS, and Rita Seal,
I-ower VI, managed with considerable dexterity du{ng the
journey
and were to caffy in the procession at the Schools'
Service in the Cathedral.
Once comfortably installed inside the Cathedral, we had an
opportunity to reflect upon some of the outstanding features
of its design. Above uS, on the left, was the beautiful Baptistry window, which held the gaze of so many of the people in
the congregation. Its exotic colours gave what appeared to be
a perpetual stream of sunshine, which fell around us in
brilliant arcay. No one, surely, could deny that this is a masterpiece of contempotaty art.
The Service itself was basically a simple one and after a few
nervous hesitations by the younger members of the congre gation, the prayers, responses and hymns were joined in with
enthusiasm. In his address, the Bishop of Coventry impressed
upon us the fact that from the ruins of 1940 had arisen this
great and majestic Cathedral which belonged to the world, not
just the adults, but the children as well.
The Bishop and the Provost both waited outside the Cathedral when the Service was over and spoke to many of the
children as they left. On the journey home, we recalled with
an element of pride that we had played a pafi in the history of
this magnificent building to the glory of God and the resurrection of Coventry Cathedral.

OUR FIRST ANNUAL ATHLETICS' DAY
In the morning of May 3lst, 1962, after much speculation and
argument amongst the pupils of the School about who would
win this race and that iace, it was generally agreed that star-
studded Neville House had the best chanc-e oT winning both
the troPhy {gr lhe boys and the trophy for the girls at oIr first
Annual Athletics' Meeting in thd afternoon] This was to
reckon, howeyer, without ifre intricate affangements of competitors that it had been necess ary for the H5use Captains to
make before they could enter theii most effective teanis.
We were yery fortunate with the weather as during the week
we had endless rain. It was at least sunny and dryl although
there was a cool breeze blowing. The c6ta did
pi.vent
"otto watch
-quite a number of stalwart parents from turning out
the events. We were also veiy lucky to have an A.A.A. starter,
Mr. Wilkins, the father of one ol our former pupils, to give
the competitors a good send off.

P. Woodfield's (G) inelegant pole vault wins at 8, 3"
- By 1.30 P.ffi., the spectators were all comfortably settled in
their seats and the athletes were raring to go. As a r-esult of the
Junior field _events, which had been held on the previous
afternoon, Clinton Boys started with a short lead from Neville
House. Soon, the competitors for the 100 yards heats were
crowding around the starter's marshat. Everything became
silent and a few seconds later the gun fired and- our first
Sports were under way and the first tape had been broken.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side and in the centre of the
track, fleld events were taking place. Some of the performances
were ve{y creditable indeed, and although the winners of every
event will each hold their respective record for this. year, I am
sure that some of these records will last for a few years to
_
come,
As event followed event with the rapid succession of Mr.
Wilkins' six-shooter, it became increasingly obvious that the
forecast for the winners of the boys' trophy, &t any rate, had
been a misguided one. Dudley, with few real stars, had made
a good united effort all round under their captain, Wickes, and
11
hao established a short lead.. By 3.30 p.m. there were only the
relays to qo and the big question was whether Clinion, who had
Neville out of second place, would be able to overhaul
\.pt
them. As it turned out, OriAtey'held on and r.rup.d home
by one solitary point to win the Moore Cup. Nevil16 girls had
a comfortable lead of six points over tireir ,r.ur.r"t rivals,
Clinton, and so carried off t6e Woodward trophy foi the firsi
time.
The last event was finished several minutes ahead of the
clock ?ld, as our Headmaster, Mr. R. N. Mitchill, pointed
out in his speech afterwqrds, this was the first Athletici *..ii"g
which he had ever attended that had finished ahead of schedulel
Great credit for this must be given to all the orgu"ii;;;
especially Mr. Leach and Miss Hardy, who had *Jrt.O so
hard to make it a very enjoyable aft.rrbon for us all.
Mrs. c- M. Smalley? J.P., the chairman of our Governors,
presented the. c-uPS to iire captains of the winning Uori.r. The
9oYt' gyp which had been tciirOly given to the Sch"ooi by Messrs.
J. A. Moore,-Ltd., was presenti,dto wickes of Dudley House,
and th. girls' cup, donated by Messrs. p. H. Wood#ard urd
9-o. Ltd., was presented to Barbara Stokes of Neville House.
The three heartylhegrs called for Mrs. Smalley by one-of our
senior boys, A. Craddock, echoed round the School fleld and
marked the end of our First Annual Athletics Day.

RETROSPECT
As Mr. Bidgood is leaving at the end of term to take up a post
as Lecturer in Physics at Eastleigh Technical College after
spending flve years with us at Blackdown and Kenilworth, we
thought it would be a good opportunity to ask him to jot down
some of the outstanding memories that he must have collected
during his association with us. This is what he has written :-
Five Years' Hard Labour (or was it Preventive Detention?)
I well remember that day in September 1957 when I first met
Mr. C. (Senior English), a short gentleman with a large mop
of bushy hair; Mr. B. (Senior History), a sylph-like figure of a
mere ten stones; and Mr. L. (P.E.)-without guitar or rhythm
group. Then there was that little boy K. (sparrow-knees) in
Form 24, who thought that Physics was something yolr took
out of a bottle when you had tummy-ache.
1957. Fashion note :-Gowns were new, ankle length, with
or without hoods.
My most frightening experience? When Newton's first law
of Motion (for the uninitiated : o'A body continues in its state of
rest-or uniform motion unless acted upon by a force") was
verified by a Hillman Minx which crashed through the Physics
Lab. wall!
I shall never forget the day-April lst, 1958-when the
Physics Department bicycle (feminine gender-negative crossbar) suddenly grew between 9 a.m. and 12 noon an exhaust
pipe and several halt signs.
1958. Fashion note :-Gowns slightly shorter this year.
My most emba*u,,ij! H"H:ltt',i;fl;J",$T*1ff? second
law of Motion (look it up in McKenzie's "Mechanics and
Hydrostatics") was verified in the Hall :Apparatus: Ladder, spot-lights, large Physics master, boy
with foot on bottom, Mr. F.'s Music lesson.
Method: Boy (attention diverted by netball in yard)
removes foot.
Result: Large Physics master descends (32ftlsec/sec) into
Music lesson.
1959. Fashion note:-Gowns again shorter this year-midcalf. (9 in. trapped in bicycle brake).
Oh, yes ! That was the year when Mr. L. (with guitar) carrcelled the cross-country practice just because there was two
feet of snow on the course. He said they wouldn't get muddy
enough-the bog was frozen.
15
Staff rugger nqatches will always have a prominent place in
my memories. Overheard in the Staff
Room:-Mr.
referee and you prop. You've got to be much fitter to
yo_u]rave to keep up with the play".
C. : o.I,l1
referee-
Mr- B. : 'oYes, I do, believe you're right-I'll prop". So
Mr. B. propped, and knew foi three weeks aftei thit he'd
made the wrong decision!
I shall always caffy a deep-seated memory of a collision
with P. when he was in full crt.
Great excitement in the Science Museum (B. not South
Ke1.)_ when the curators B. and K. (not Russians) found art
ostrich had flown in and laid an egg amongst irre watch-
springs and broken lamp bulbs !
1960. Fashion note :-Gowns
--
.b:.-oryng - even shorter this
(Moths have taken
#H*r!oilli:n.
They come flooding back these memories. The anti-blood
sports- society _was almost involved on the day of the "great
chase". All the excitement of the hunt-lesj hunting fr'orrr,
red coats and hounds. New House athletics practice, 4 f.m. :H. is seen sneaking home on his bicycle, p. skulkinf in the
cloakroom. G. is spotted making foi the cycle shedl and is
!_1a11y run to earth with foot on fedal near ifre tennis courts.
IVA were never a very athleticafly-minded form! F. always
left at 3.55 p.m. in those days-to visit the dentist!
1961. Fashion note :-Th6 great change over. Gowns are
out.
Mr. H. has an"off-the-shoulder" style. Some have changed
to white coats, hence the jokes about milking time, etc.
Blazers, ties, caps have all changed-but not th; "Lfimates".
Why wouldn't the magnetometer work? Could it have been
the ryagnets which R., P. and f{. (now the founder members of
the K. old Boys' Association) had in their pockets?
Rugger.on Bates's field! A House match where some strange
.languag!
(French ? German?) arose from the depths of a loole
maul. G. was playing for Clinton. The next^day the same
strange mutterings from G. in the Physics Lab. when someone disturbed his apparatus !
Bates's field again. C., top scorer (only scorer) for the 2nd
XV. goes over in the corner with the helil of the touch-judge
A. (foot-up) who had rushed on to the field in his enthuiiasm
to push at the rear of the maul. C. nearly had this try disallowed for almost depositing the referee from the back of fris
motor-bike on a bend (he admitted afterwards that it was the
first time he'd carried a pillion passenger).
l6
In far off Hampshire I will keep in touch by reading the
national press: Kenilworth at the White City (Greyhounds?).
Landon at Twickenham? C. atHarwell? And, of course, the
"engagements" column in the 'oTimes" to see if those love
'W'.
affairs have come to fruition. 'W'. and W.? W'. and S.?
and A.? (Different Ws; different As.). I'11 remember the way
sat separately in the Lab.-thinking we'd never guess-but
weknew!!!
1962. Fashion note:-Gowns are worn but rarely. Festive
occasions only-borrowed with hoods !
Off-white coats here to stay.
Oh, yes ! Just one more memory. There was that day
(February 30th, 1958, I think), when the experiment worked
FIRST time !

I have orten though,-1lo"ffil?Hrought
some
of our
older and better known fairy stories up to date they might
make more impact on the tender minds of very young ihildrln.
For e1?mple, -'Goldilocks and the Three Bears" riigtrt read
something like this:Strawberry Blonde and the Three Teddy Boys
In a large city apartment, on the ninth floor, lived three
teddy _boyr ; Big Joe, the eldest, Fat Mac, his mate, and Ricky,
the-baby of the family. In their apartment they had a very large
bath, where, during their spare time when they weren't- doing
somethi_lg important like sleeping or playing records, they
would distil home-made gin.
One cold, frosty duy, they each put a bottle on the window
sill to cool while they went to the nearest coffee bar,leaving
Rigky to lock the door, who, naturally forgot.
Two or three minutes later Strawberry Blonde arrived on
the scene. She had come to visit her boyfrietrd, Fred, but as
she didn't visit him very often she wasn't quite sure which
number he lived at. Therefore, on seeirg the open door, she
walked in.
When she found that Fred was not at home, she decided to
wait for him and settled herself comfortably on the studio
couch. To help pass the time away she thought she would try
ole of Big Joe's cigars, which, needless to say she found
absglutely revolting. She then spotted Fat Mac's cigarettes
tgd helped herself. She quickly put this out too wfien she
discovered it was full strength. Hbwever, Ricky's filter tips
really suited her and she smoked the last four in the packet,
and while she was at it, took charge of the free gift tokens as
well.
Strawberry Blond happened to be a very inquisitive girl,
and, by and by, she ventured into the bathroom. Seeing the
three bottles on the window sill, she opened the flrst and took
a sip. Strawberry Blonde pulled a most preposterous face
?nd quickly spat out the flery liquid. She tried ttre next bottle
but that seemed even stronger than the first. Nevertheless,
@e gin in the last bottle seemed just right (maybe Strawberry
Blonde was becoming used to it now)-and she gulped down
the whole of its contents.
I'm not with it at this stoge. D.C.

f..*3
Afterwards, feetring quite dizzy, she found her way to the
bedroom and lay down on Big Joe's bed. As it was too hard
for her, she tried Fat Mac's, but that was too soft. But Ricky's
was just right, and Strawberry Blonde was soon snoring in a
most unlady-like fashion.
Meanwhile, the three teddy boys had returned. Big Joe
slapped Ricky around the head because he had left the door

THE POWER OF THE SEA
The sea, that monstrous force, that vast impregnable imperial
power patrollirg- the borders of thc land is capable of destroying any venture by man over its immense depths. For the sea
laughs at man. It can aid him in his enterprise or dash him
\
into numerous fragments, never to be seen of heard again.
When the proud, aesthetically beautiful liner or the appar.
ently invincible battleship ploughs through a serene sea, it is
easy to imagine that the sea has been conquered. So thought
the builder of the Titanic. She was intended to be a symbol
of the irresistible progress of man and especially his triumph
over the sea. Yet the Titanic never completed her maiden
voyage, for the sea, aroused with passion, hardened and
determined to smash the puny intruder. The Titanic sank and
the sea offered mercy to the few survivors.
Be not therefore deceived by the sea's pleasant, soft appearance on the beaches, as the waves lap quietly along the sandy
shores. Those smal1 boats that now ply over the calm and
bounteous waters that surrender their rich treasures to the
weather-hardened fishermanmay one day be rotting a hundred
fathoms deep. The people who cross and recross the oceans
are, though many know it not, passing by charter with the sea.
And the sea that looks so blue and tranquil, mayhap be
ominously black and rear up to become gigantic waves of
unimagined height.
The sea mocks at man and lures him, yes, seduces him from
his element, the land, to venture forth over its unconquered
territory. Once he is in its domain, it makes play with him,
hurling waves of shimmering, glistening spume across the
heaving decks. Or, on the other hand, it may tire of him and
give him passport. Its lgy-al mind and incomprghgnsible
purpose will always out-think the proud and boastful brain
of man. It is so vast, so beautiful, so terrible, absolutely
invulnerable, and a permanent reminder of the glory, power,
wonder and supreme intensity of Creation.

SUICIDE
Formerly in the village of Ashow lived a man who had suffered
deep sorrows, but who found peace in watching the moonlight
on the river. He would spend hours dreaming by the little
bridge, listening to the sobbing of the water in the reeds. The
sound seemed to him so melancholy that one day he was led
to exclaim:
'olf only I could comfort such a grief, for it is surely greater
that any I have known!"
Seemingty in a trance, he saw a beautiful maiden rise from
the waters, her long hair flowing with the trailing river plants
in the dark stream. Her eyes gave him a look so full of misery
and of pleading that his heart went out to her, but stretching
forth his hand he touched nothing but the watery rushes. He
seemed to hear from further down river the maid's sad laments,
for surely they were hers, and in his pity he waded into the
deeper waters towards her. Now no longer did she vanish
from his touch. His head sank slowly beneath the surface, his
hair mingling with hers as the ripples passed over him and
broke gently against the bank.
The sighing of the willows ceased and the stream now flowed
on in quietness, and when the sun rose the water was crystal
clear to the bed of the stream, where two glistening watercreatures played happily in the sunlit depths.

THE SORROW AND JOY OF AN ORPHAN
When I was but a few weeks old,
My mother died, mY father too;

Took me to live in dingY Crewe'
The weeks, the months, the years passed by
Till I had reached about twelve years'
Unloved I lived, unloved I'd die,
Unless I could escape mY fears.
For never could I go and PlaY,
Or make a friend at home or school;
And Uncle Squint would scold and fluy,
If I should break the smallest rule.
At last one day the house caught fire
And burnt was mY uncle so bad

MY TRUE LOVE
I don't know what to write about'
Whatever should it be?
There's only one I truly love,
And that, of course, is me.
I'm the handsomest fellow I've ever seen;
I love me with all my heart.
I couldn't bear to live my life,
If I should have to part.
I always have admired me,
But by a twist of fate,
I haven't got the courage
To ask me for a date.
If someone tried to steal my lover,
I guarantee I'd kill 'em.
I'd fight until the bitter end
To defend my darling WILLUM !

WHICH, WHAT AND WHY
Consumer research is all the rage now. Everybody's doing it.
Notice the anxious expression on the face of any customei in
any shop you care to go into. He can't make up his mind
about which of the two identicalarticles he wants. Then see the
look of relief that spreads across his face as he produces a
little book and finds the information that tells him which is
the best buy. Readily, his confidence is restored and his cash
gges gver the counter. There's no doubt about it, he's got a
bargain!
Two specially produced books do it, newspapers do it,
women's magazines do it, comic cuts do it. Recently, even
a school magazine did it. Well, I ask you, how can any selfrespecting editor who pretends to keep up with the times not
do it? So we've done it.
Unfortunately, owing to excessive homework, G.C.E.
examinations, Athletics Day and the Coventry Ftlstival, our
research team ran short of time and breath. NeverthelesS,
Bill Foster, IIIG, and his committee have done a worthwhile
job, although some of their findings may be rather superficial
at this initial stage. This is how he reports :The Summer Term should be abolished.

After considerable thought the committee eventually
decided that Fly Killers would be a suitable subject for a first
attempt at consumer research as the testing apparatus required is reasonably itg5P.nsive^
Th. first of the Fiy Killers we tested was the C.C.I.E. or the
'oCrandlevich Cathode Insect Evictor". It is necessary with
this one to inst all a unit in each room of the house. It consists
of a spray mechanism which is fltted above the door. As soon
as a ny .irters the room, its wing movements are detected.by a
pnotolelectric eye which puts tlie spray into. operation,^ killing
and parrots instantly. A comhi.r, wasps, beei, budgerigars

breaihing apparutus.^ We found, howevef, -that it was inadequate- aiiar as scorpions-were concerned on account of
theii extraordinary wide nostrils. The A.F.S. Fly Killer comes
in the form of a iylinder of compressed B&S, which is released
from a nozzle. It can be obtained from most good butchers
for as little as [10 17s. 3+d. (There is 910 13s. 11d. back on
all empty cylinders).

iffi.i.rcy as a'post mortem examination on the fly concerned
revealed that it died of natural causes.
Of all the fly killers tested, we came to the conclusion that
the most effecfive and most delightful to use was the 'oSwot,_"

Another one of our research committees was composed,
entirely of VIth Form girl9, who were concerned quite iigfrtfy
with the merchandise of tfre Tuck Shop and its e,ffects upon
the health and beauty o_f the Schoof in general. Jocelyn
Pearson was the leader of this investigation-and this is what
her committee had to report:9yirg to the recent augmentation of the Tuck Shop the
weight capacity per square inch per body of the School has
increased alarmingly.- Therefor6, this committee, as yet
untouched by its harmful influence, feel duty bound to warn
prospective customers against purchasing goods that are more
than likely to be detrimental Uotn to the mi-nd and to the body.
We have been to extremes of both expense and effort to
make a survgy- of goods to be seen for salb in the Tuck Shop
on most weekdays after lunch sittings.
Peanuts appear to be the most popular purchase as no doubt
they 9an be consumed in the greatest secrecy, having little
crunch or snap noise and requiring the very miirimum ainount
9f jaw movement. They alio provide exbeilent ammunition
for class warfare and as a las1 resort suitable material for
studding football boots in an emergency. The proportion
of.the pea to the nut,
found, involved a fairlyiri&y calculation on the part of-we
the manufacturer, this being 35 io 55
in all packets tested. On the whole, the best value Ior money
were the mixed packets of sultanas and peanuts, the sultanai
introducing a certain chewiness that was otherwiie lacking.
Next in popularity to the peanut seems to be the iced
lollypop, Tgre gspeclally the pink variety. Any pure-minded
member of the School who hai seen the recent programmes on
causes of dental decay will not need to be remindJa tnat false
teeth for the under fives are now commonplace in the older
established grammar schools and will no doubt automatically
refrain from the indignified pursuit of lollypop-sucking in the
future.
Cheese biscuits and pgta.to crisps are also to be bought at
this den of iniquity. Nothing further need be said 5r th'e
effects on the human body of potato-eating, as these have been
fully expounded in that well linown work on coronary thrombosis, "Goodbyl Mr. Chips". However, to the enlightened,
cheese has long been known to cause excessive greaG in the
skin and those people with large ungainly spoti upon their
countenances m?y 5e. assumed io haie inhulged un*isely in
excessive cheese-biscuit eating.
28
F
Minerals, too, are to be bought. Coca-Cola has become
a favourite-perhaps because 'of its colour. However, this
mineral has been known to be the cause of numerous cases of
Tertian Ague (Mr. Birch, on request, will give a full explanation of the symptons and effects of this highly contagious
malady), to say nothing of the effect on the he art. We should
prefer not to enlarge on this subject because of those of a
nervous disposition who might easily become unbalanced for
life.
\
I
Such were the findings of our enquiries. By and large,
having weighed matters carefully in both directions up _agq
down and also across, we believe it would be more beneficial
for those members of the School who have arry spare cash to
part with to put it towards some more justiflable cause, for
example, the Sixth Form Chocolate Fund.

When the smoke had cleared, Mr. Wilkins staggered out of

"Albert, what 'ave you done?" screamed Mrs. Wilkins.
" 'Elp ! ! !" shouted a muffied voice from inside the bonnet.
"I'm coming", shouted Mrs. Wilkins. She heaved the

CANOEING
I was first introduced to canoeing in the Isles of Scilly where
members of the local canoe club *ere camping. Most of them
t uA taken their canoes to paddle from one island to another
as this was much cheaper than going by ferry launches at
a time.
5l'
One may think that canoeing on the sea is dangerous,- but
in good weather this need not be so if all precautions are takenfh; smallest party that is ever allowed on the sea in canoes is
three, as thii is ihe minimum number that_gan perform a
rescue operation should anyone capsize. when this does

up either side of it and h;ld it iteady yitq their paddles, while
tfie victim straddles the stern and works his way to the cockpit. This, of course, wgPld be practically impossible were the
bthers not there to hold his canoe steady.
Once a year

A slalom course consists of a series of "gates" aS they ate
called. Each "gate" is really two poles hanging from a rop€
stretched acrosi a river. The course is usually on a rough
stretch of water below a weir and consists of ten to eighteen
"gates". It is not simply a matter of paddling through these
gft.t, but some thd competitor must reverse through,

downstream and others have to be approached from upstream.
Whichever way the competitor has to go it is not easy to get

KENI HAS A NEW SENSATION
Keni's now, of course, well established at the School. He's
settling down and growing up. But the other day he experienced a new sensation for the first time. It all began in a
Biology lesson when he dropped his rubber.
Susie Brown, a pretty little girl, had leaned out of her desk
to pick up the rubber and at that same instant Keni also bent
down to retrieve it. Their hands simuttaneously clutched at
the rubber. Susie looked at Keni and smiled. Now Keni,
because of their postures, found that his eyes were only a
foot or so from Susie's, and when he looked into those bright
bewitching eyes and noticed her enchanting smile, somethirg
happened. It felt as if someone was beating an ice-hot solo
on the keyboard of his vertebral column. His stomach sank,
his skin prickled and his larynx completely seized up. All
this and the stereophonic pounding in his head made Keni
feel quite queer.
That evening Keni held an inquiry. What could this
sensation have been? At the time, when his knees, rubbery and
uncontrolled, had rattled the desk and the Biology mistress
had wished to know the cause of the noise, Keni had been
speechless. What a fool he had looked! He was angry with
Susie then, for he thought she had done it deliberatelyio make
him feel a fool. But now it was evening and he reasoned that
the sensation was ample reward for being made to look a fool
anyway. In fact, he decided to try again, only this time he
would affange the situation and be ready for the sensation.
Keni once again dropped his rubber. It did not work. He
tried again, but a master confiscated the rubber. Keni was
heartbroken. Then he realised that the rubber was only arr
incidental aid to the sensation. He would conceive a plan.
He wrote a letter direct to Susie, declaring that he was her
sweetheart. But, alas, she seemed to reject, the idea. Still,
Keni persisted and after many attempts won the maiden over.
Unfortunately, Keni now found that Susie had some sort of
power over him. He ran little errands for her, sharpened her
pencils and picked up her rubber when she dropped it.
One night Keni reappraised the situation. He reasoned
that if Susie could give him this sensation so too could all the
other girls and, in any case, she must like his attentions, so
why should he be her slave? He resolved to turnabout this
situation and, in fact, when he saw Susie on the followiorg duy,
she looked just like all the other girls. The mirage had gone.
32
,
Keni turned his attentions to the other girls and found that
for him and would not leave
him alone. Keni decided that this was more like it and
gradually played off one beauty against another, until one day
when he dropped his rubber two girls struggled for the honour
of retrieving it. There was, however, one exception and no
matter what Keni did he could not get her to pick up his
rubber. She despised him. He could feel it and see it in her
eyes. Yes, she despised him. Keni was desperate. He would
willingty give up all the other girls for her. But how could he
win her over?
Susie would now do anything

Intermediate and Senior Boys' section, the Higher Boys'

unfair to pick out individuals for special praise when so many
have performed so well and perhaps the best thing to do is to
list our achievements and let you judge for yourselves.

It is being tried this year as a singles tournament,
but
perhaps next year we may tty a doubles tournament as well.
The rounds are being played as the best of nine games and the
semi-finals and finals are to consist of three sets. Some first
round matches have been played and it is good to see the
juniors takin g part and doing well. Although we have not yet

The destroyer was tossed wildly about in the narrow possage.
Many a time it almost hit the rocks, but by skilful navigation it
manoged to keep an eyen keel. The clouds looked black ond
threatening on the horizon; the seo was getting rouglter, the
wind stronger and the waves higher os the ship drew neorer to the
gigantic precipice.
And now, as it was caught up in the great whirlpool, the noise
of the waterfall could be heard even above the roar of the wind
and waves. The ship wos on the very brink of disaster.
A hand shot out and gripped it firmly and a small boy shouted:
" Coo, we neorly lost her that time, Dad !"

UNpsn-ls XI
In the first match of the season at Banbury good bowling
by Brookman, 5 wickets for 9 runs, and Sharpe, 3 for 6, saw
our opponents dismissed for only 24. Our batting then failed
abysmally and we lost by two runs. The only other match so
far played resulted in a good win over strong opposition.
Brookman again bowled well, taking 6 for 19 in the Tudor
Grange G.S. total of 59. A steady start to our innings by
Sharpe and Hillyard was followed by a minor collapse but
Randall's 25 not out saw us safely home.

Fmsr Yne.n XI
Only one match has been played sq fa1 this term and that
on a 6o1d, wet Saturday moining at Banbury. Nevertheless,
it proved to be a most exciting- game. Banbury were Plt in to
Uat on a mat wicket and made 47. Kenilworth reached the
same score for the loss of 9 wickets. Day had hit 18 of the
runs before first being struck on the head with the ball and
then bowled. The lait ball of the match had curious results
also: it went for a bye. One was taken and then the batsmen
decided to run anotier, but after they had crossed a second
time one was run out. Only one run, of course, could be
counted, although this wai sufficient to give Kenilworth
victory.
Scorej Banbury G.S. 46; K.G.S. 48.
