I cannot express complete satisfac-

tion with these results which are part explained by vacancies in the up- per classes having been filled-from outside sources. This has had to be done as candidates for Class 8 have not { come forward in recent years in re- quired numbers. This may be either because of a mistaken idea prevalezt that King's and Queen's Colleges may be better equipped and staffed or due to the change in the school year. What- ever may be the canse, however, I wish parents to know that it is with the greatest reluctance I will admit boys to the upper classes.

The Sporting activities are much the same: Football, Volley Ball, Basket Ball, Ping Pong and Deck Tennis.
