The Hutchins School iVlagazinc

Hutchins! Hutchins! grand and fair!The oniy School we serve;

For rhee till death we'll do and dare,And nought can make us swerve.

Refrain:

Let your voices ring, lads!'Tis the old School's due;

Sing her praises, sing, lads—Hutchins! Hutchins! tried and true.

Thy name adown the ages pastThy sons salute and cheer;

And so shall we while life doth last,With lips and lives revere.

We learn thine ivied tower beneati,To play the game of life,

And know they only win the wreathWho strive sn honour's strife.

May all thy sons prove ever true,Whate'er their gifts and powers,

That man may yield to thee thy due,Beloved School of ours.

DURING the term the Board of Man-

agement purchased from the ChurchExtension Association a fine property ofnearly seven acres between the Rifle Rangeand Mt. Nelson Road in Sandy Bay. It ishoped to begin the work of levelling theground during the vacation, and if pos-sible to make some addition to the presentbuilding there. If this can be done theGladwyn School will occupy the new pre-mises; and later the property will bedeveloped to form the Hutchins JuniorSchool.

It is hoped that the ground will beready for use for games in the New Year.

The Board is to be commended for itsforesight and prompt action in securingone of the best of the few remainingextensive tracts of land within easy reachby tram in the Sandy Bay district.

The permanent stop-nets on the CollinsStreet side of the cricket wickets have beenextended and made several feet higher.The whole of the work was carried out byMr. Johnson and boys of the woodworkclasses. The boys are to be complimentedon the excellence of the work.

The carrying out of structural work e'fthis kind forms a valuable adjunct to thelessons of the workshop. Moreover, theboys are contributing something to theSchool by doing work which could nototherwise be undertaken owing to theshortage of skilled labour through thedemands of the war. We look forward tothe developing of more ambitious projectslike those carried out in some otherschools.

Various activities assisting the war efforthave been continued throughout the year.Several camouflage nets have been com-pleted as a spare-time occupation, whilsta large number of inkstands for the Com-forts Fund have been made in the wood-work classes by the boys. Subscriptions oWar Savings Certificates for this year nowtotal approximately £300. In addition,the general weekly collections for patrioticand other funds have amounted to over£35 for the year.

Thanks to the wide selection of filmsavailable on loan from the EducationDepartment. the junior forms have madegood use of the School projector, under

the charge of Messrs. MacGregor andHobman. The films have been mainly ongeography and history and have beensupplementary to the lessons given inclass.

At the recent Oral French competitionsconducted by the Alliance Francaise ourboys acquitted themselves very well. IanWood obtained second prize in Seniordictation, and Ross Smith second prize inIntermediate poetry. D. Dargaville wasplaced third in Junior dictation; G. Col-man third in Senior poetry, and P. Seatonthird in Junior poetry. There were 150entries from all the Hobart schools and12 prizes were given.

It was a great privilege to have theBishop of New Guinea, Rt. Rev. P. W.Strong, address the School during hisbrief visit to Tasmania. The Bishop gavea most interesting and inspiring talk onthe work of the Church in his diocese, andin particular on the spiritual progress ofthe natives. He gave many instances ofthe self-sacrifice and devotion of both hisown staff and the natives, and left us witha sense of thankfulness and responsibility..

I. H. Wood has been awarded artOrmond Scholarship as the result of arecent examination conducted by OrmorsctCollege, University of Melbourne. Thesubjects for his examination were Physicsand Chemistry, and he intends to readMedicine next year in Melbourne. Weheartily congratulate him on his success,especially as this scholarship is rarelyentered for by a Tasmanian.

ETNA AND VESUVIUS

JN recent months the armies of Britainand America have been waging war in

the immediate vicinity of two of the mostfamous volcanoes in the world - Etna inSicily and Vesuvius in Italy.

So absorbed are our people in the pro-gress of our fighting forces and in themomentous issues involved in the strugglethat little attention is given to the topo-graphical features of the terrain overwhich our soldiers are operating. But theorigin and history of volcanoes have afascination for both the scientist and thelayman which will long outlive the presentconflict and may probably last as long asthe earth itself.

Everybody knows that a volcano is anopening in the earth's crust throughwhich heated internal matter is broughtto the surface. The scientists believe thatthe earth and all the other planets at onetime formed part of the sun. By somemeans or other - and two theories havebeen given to account for what happened- the planets got detached from theparent body and started their separateexistences as hot masses of gas. The earthforthwith began to cool and after manyyears it commenced to liquify and laterto solidify. The outermost layers, ofcourse, cooled most rapidly and were thefirst to become solid. When this solidifica-tion had taken place the earth consistedof a solid outer crust enclosing a hotinterior mass of gas and liquid. A stagewas then reached when the inner layersalso began to cool, and, as most bodiesdecrease in volume when their tempera.ture is lowered, these inner layers alsobegan to shrink. As the shrinkage pro-ceeded, the crust, not having adequateinternal support, began to crumple upinto wrinkles and folds.

This, very briefly, is the manner inwhich the mountains and valleys on theearth were formed. The process, however,is not yet completed and the earth's sur-face is still moving slightly, falling in atsome places and moving up at others.Occasionally a sudden slip may result in

an earthquake. At other times the steadypressure of the falling crust may squeezethe hot material up through the cracksand crevices until it emerges on the sur-face of the earth. Thus we have volcanoes,oil wells and hot springs.

Of all the volcanoes in the world nonehave cast such a glamour over men asEtna and Vesuvius. Etna has many pointsof interest. Its higher regions are coveredwith perpetual snow. Half-way downthere is an abundant growth of birchtrees, pines and chestnuts. Near the bot-torn the climate is not unlike that of certam parts of Australia, and olives, vinesand all kinds of vegetables flourish in pro.fusion. This Volcano has as many as twohundred craters, and there have beenrepeated eruptions. Some of these erup.tions have caused serious loss of life. InA.D. 1169 the whole town of Catania wasoverwhelmed, and about the middle ofthe seventeenth century there was a violentexplosion which opened an abyss, twelvemiles long, in the side of the mountainand caused terrible destruction.

Vesuvius, like Etna, has very produc-tive slopes. Here are grown grapes fromwhich some of the finest wines in theworld are manufactured. The amazingfertility of the soil, caused by the over-flow of lava from the crater, explains whyVesuvius, in spite of its constant menace,is the heart of a densely populated region.This volcano is never really quiescent.From the city of Naples Steam can be seencontinually issuing from an openingabout 1,000 feet from the top, and Aus-tralian travellers who visit Naples on theirway to Europe generally obtain goodphotographs of the mountain with itswhite misty cap.

Vesuvius has had many disastrous erup-tions. The one in the year A.D. 79 whichcompletely wiped out the Roman city ofPompeii remains the most famous holo-caust of its kind in all history. In 1631it had another violent upheaval. On thisoccasion particles of dust were projectedas far as Istanbul, 800 miles distant, andits fiery overflow caught men unpreparedand took 20,000 lives.

THREE STORIES

A biography of the late Sir JosephJohn Thomson, the eminent Cambridgephysicist, has recently appeared from thepen of Lord Rayleigh. The British Isleshas produced so many scientists of thename of Thomson or Thompson that, inorder to distinguish Sir Joseph from theothers, he was familiarly known in thescientific world as "J.J."

Many anecdotes of the great man aretold by his biographer and other writerswho knew him intimately, and some ofthem are worth reproducing.

Towards the end of J.J.'s period asMaster of Trinity College, Cambridge, aparty of Americans were visiting the Col-lege. On entering the gate they saw com-ing towards them across the lawn a ven-erable, rather shabbily dressed, white-haired figure. One of them accosted himand made an inquiry about some architec-tural features. Thomson gave an explana-tion and the sightseers adopted the oldman as a sort of guide to the beauties ofthe Great Court. They were much im-pressed by his erudition and, on leaving,one of them, assuming him to be perhapsa retired college butler, presented himwith half-a.crown. This J.J. calmlypocketed, and he remarked afterwards, ashe related the incident with great glee,that to have refused would only havecaused embarrassment.

Thomson had a keen sense of humourand told the story of a paragraph depre-ciating the value of book learning thatappeared in the "Manchester Guardian,"the contributor being a local draper."There was," said the business man, "aclever boy at school with me, little JoeyThomson, who took all the prizes. Butwhat good has all his book learning donehim? Whoever hears of little Joey Thom-son now?"

Charles Darwin, the naturalist, is ano-ther scientist of whom some good storieshave been told. Darwin, who was one ofthe most famous scientists of all time, per-formed researches in zoology and botanythat made his name ithmortal. He was theauthor of the epoch-making works "TheOrigin of Species" and "The Descent ofMan."

It is said that on one occasion, towardsthe end of his life, he was spending aholiday with a friend in the country. Hisfriend went to business in the city everymorning, returning to his home in the

evening. Darwin was consequently leftto his own devices during the day, and,of course, being Charles Darwin, he spenthis time studying the different forms ofthe flowers and the habits of the insectsand earthworms which he found in thegarden.

His friend, who was a bachelor, em-ployed a housekeeper. One, evening onher master's return the good lady seemedrather distressed. "Oh," she said, "thatpoor old fellow is very lonely. He doesnothing but dig in the garden and lookat worms and grubs. You should teachhim to play patience." "That gentleman,"replied her master, "is the celebratedCharles Darwin."

Stories such as these are told of all thegreat scientists, and indeed of all famousmen, but, no doubt, some of them areapocryphal.

SCIENCE AS A HUMANITY

At a conference held recently by theBritish Association for the Advancementof Science, the subject of "Science as aHumanity" was discussed.

One of the principal speakers, Dr. R.V.Southwell, said that the cultural value ofscience lay not in its story of materialachievement, but in the development ofa special kind of thinking. It was not theonly right kind, for outside the laboratoryscientific thinking was not enough.Science could, however, give the realiza-tion that hard problems demanded hardthinking, and teachers should have morerecourse to the history of science and thelives of the great pioneers.

Another speaker declared that all know-ledge is humanistic because of what it doesin liberating human intelligence and sym-pathy. He said that an improvementcould be made in scientific education bymaking the pupil consciously aware of therelation that existed between scientificknowledge and method and the practicalproblems that face mankind. Absence ofincentive, he thought, was the main faultin our school curricula, and he advocatedthe introduction of the biological sciencesinto the work of secondary schools. Thesewould help in the solution of many of oursocial problems, by destroying the inertiadue to ignorance.

regret to record the death of Annie,wife of Mr. Leonard H. Lindon, a

former Headmaster of the School. Mrs.Lindon arrived in Tasmania with herhusband about thirty-two years ago andever since that date they have resided inHobart.

During the years from 1912 to 1917,when Mr. Lindon was Warden of Christ'sCollege and Headmaster of the HutchinsSchool, the headmaster's residence wasin Park Street, a considerable distanceaway. Nevertheless, in spite of this han-dicap, Mrs. Lindon took an active part inthe social activities of the School andinterested herself in everything that per-tained to its success and welfare.

Mrs. Lindon, like her husband, was anative of England and was a woman ofeducation, culture and refinement. Shehad varied interests. For many years, forinstance, she was an enthusiastic gardenerand was specially successful in the cultiva-tion of roses In her younger days she wondistinction as an athlete, and was the firstwoman to climb Mount Cook in NewZealand. Accompanied by her husbandshe accomplished that feat in 1912.Mount Cook is the highest mountain peakin Australasia, its altitude being well overtwelve thousand feet. It is covered withperpetual snow, and, rising in the shapeof a pyramid with precipitous sides, it

offers peculiar obstacles to the moun-taineer.

Mr. and Mrs. Lindon were a mostdevoted couple. Throughout their wholemarried life, both in work and play, theywere almost inseparable. To Mr. Lindon,therefore, the loss of his wife must be aserious blow, and the School sympathiseswith him in the grievous loss he has sus-tained.

'1'HE activities of the Association sinceour last report have been varied and,

we hope, useful to the School. Severalmatters, however, have had to be post-poned owing to war conditions, but weshall have them done in due course.

The Party and Dance were successful,and we are sure everyone present had athoroughly enjoyable time.

Financially, with expenses £121915 anda balance for our funds of £55/16/I, theresult was highly satisfactory. We are verygrateful to all who donated cakes andother eatables, to the ladies who organisedthe suppers, and to the teaching staff fortheir valuable assistance and the domesticstaff for their help.

To Mr. Collings, the Bursar, a specialword of thanks is due. The writer is quiteconvinced that Mr. Collings holds the keywhich means success or otherwise of theAnnual Party and Dance, and gladlyplaces on record the sincere appreciationof the Association of his able and willingassistance.

THE Debating Society's programmehas been rather a full one for the last

half of the year. On June 29th the firstdebate was held against Fahan School atFahan. The School team, consisting ofColman, Lethlean and Crowther, narrowlydefeated their fair opponents, Miss Cane,Miss Nairn and Miss Purves, in a veryhumorous debate, "That Radio is Destroy-ing Home Life."

The first Junior House debate was heldon Friday, 13th August, between Buck-land and School. Buckland, with the aidof M. Jennings, defeated School, whosebest speaker was J. R. Ward.

The next debate, between Buckland andStephens, was another victory for Buck-land, which thus wins the "B" competi-tion. M. W. Jennings was again the bestspeaker of the night, thereby being theJunior Orator of the Society for 1943.

The last debate of the House competi-tion, between School and Stephens, re-sulted in an equal number of marks beinggained by both teams, thus making boththose Houses equal in the "B" competi-tion.

The Junior debates this year have beenof a high standard, and such Juniors asM. Jennings and J. Ward, and otherdebaters less experienced but just as keen,should figure well in the Senior competi-tion in years to come.

A second debate was held against Fahanat the School on 18th August. The teamswere different from those in the first de-bate. The School consisted of Lethlean,Crowther and Watson, and Miss Lord,Miss Seddon and Miss Campbell com-posed the Fahan team. The debate waswell contested, but again the decision wentto the School team.

We wish to thank the Hon. H. S. Bakerfor adjudicating the two debates withFahan, and also the Headmaster for ad-judicating all three Junior House debates.

In the Hudspeth Essay Competition thisyear there was a very poor representationby two of the three Houses, School Housecontributing six of the eight entries in theJunior division, and the only two Seniorentries. The essays were not read as inprevious years. but the results were: J. L.Seaton won the Senior division and M.Jennings the Junior, with two excellentessays.

The Society's activities this year havebeen very successful, although, owing tolack of time, the Mock Trial had to beabandoned, together with the debatesagainst Collegiate and the Old Boys.

This year's prizes have gone to the fol-lowing boys:—

Senior Impromptu Orator: J. Seniorand G. W. Colman (equal).

Junior Impromptu Orator: M. Jen-nings.

Senior Orator: G. W. Colman.Junior Orator: M. W. Jennings.The Hudspeth Essay (Senior): J. L.

Ju-ri1rTHE outstanding event in our Scout

activities for the half-year was thewinning, by our troop, of the HobartDistrict Scouts' sports competition for thefirst time on record. We were fortunatein having in our team a number of Scoutswhose performances in school athleticshave been outstanding, but there werevery few weak spots and the general per-formance of our team was very satisfac-tory.

Our signalling work was rather disap-pointing, but P.L.'s have been workinghard to improve it and we hope to dobetter next year. We are grateful to theCadet Detachment for the loan of fourLucas lamps for practice.

In other branches of technical work thesenior members of the troop are quitegood, but juniors need a lot of coachingby their FL.'s.

Salvage work has been interfered withto some extent by weather conditions, butmost members of the troop continue lowork quite well at this necessary, if ratheruninteresting, job.

Most members of the troop expect totake part in harvesting and fruit-pickingwork during the Christmas holidays, sohere's wishing them all Good Weather,Good Work, Good Scouting!

THE appeal for postage stamps on be-half of the Australian Board of Mis-

sions published in our last issue has metwith a ready response, and the Editorwishes to thank those who gave not onlytheir duplicate stamps, but, in some cases,entire collections. The sales at the Dio-cesan Book Depot have been most grati-fying, and during the five months inwhich the scheme has been in progressvery nearly £30 has been raised by the saleof these stamps. No expenses whateverhave been incurred and the whole amounthas been paid over to the Reconstructionand Advance Fund of the A.B.M. (recon-struction of New Guinea stations).

The sales have been so encouraging(about 25/- a week) that the demand

threatens to exceed the supply, and a fur-ther appeal is made for stamps for stock.Any used postage stamps whatever, exceptthe more common Australian currentissues, will be gratefully accepted. Thereis a special demand for Dominion andforeign stamps.

Will you therefore go through yourcollection and send any stamps you canspare to the Editor, either at the Schoolor at the Diocesan Book Depot? A wor-thier cause could not be found.

Home Training.—Parades of I hoursduration have been held each Fridayafternoon during which cadets receiveddrill, weapon training and general sectionwork. Miniature range practices havebeen held during the third term and veryfew cadets failed to qualify.

Training Course.—A course of instruc-tion has been held at the School for 20cadets and lance-corporals, preference be-ing given to boys who will be attendingschool next year. So far the results of theexaminations are not yet to hand.

Home Inspection.—During the thirdterm the Corps was inspected at hometraining by Major V. H. Profltt, and alsoduring the fourth term by the MilitaryCommander, Colonel J . A. Chapman.Both were impressed by the standard andefficiency of cadets.

Annual Camp.—The Senior Cadet De-tachment entered Milford Camp on Octo-ber 1st, in company with the detachmentsof St. Virgil's College, St. Patrick's Col-lege and Clemes College. The Camp Com-mandant, Capt. W. T. Crosby, was un-fortunately absent for the first two days,but for this short period the camp wasunder the command of Capt. N. G.Dineen.

On October 7th the Director of CadetServices for Australia, Colonel F. J.Alderson, accompanied by his StaffOfficer, Capt. A. N. Mackenzie, inspectedthe camp and expressed satisfaction atthe type of work being done, and also atthe general appearance of the cadetsthemselves.

Owing to the excellent facilities forcadet training at Milford Camp, thecadets were able to do field exercises whichthey have no opportunity of doing attheir home parades. This particular train-ing was therefore very valuable.

The instructors attached to the campwere W.O. i H. M. Coleman, W.O. ii A.Robinson, W.O. ii A. T. Ward, W.O. iiJ . S. Holbrook, Sgt. D. G. Quinn, Cpl.R. P. Welch and Sgt. R. Christian.

THE House competitions this year haveprovided some thrilling contests,

especially between Stephens House andSchool House. In the "A" grade eventsSchool House won the tennis, football andstandard athletics, while in swimming,cricket, rowing, cross-country and teamathletics we were second to StephensHouse. In the "B" grade events we wonthe tennis, football, crOss-country, teamathletics and standard athletics, havingbeen beaten by Stephens in rowing, byStephens and Buckland in swimming, andby Buckland in cricket.

A great deal of the success of our teamsis definitely due to the enthusiasm andexample of our captain and vice-captain,Colman and 1km respectively, who workedvery hard to get the whole House pullingtogether, and the fact that there havebeen very few consistent slackers is duevery largely to their efforts. We shall missthem very much next year, but we trustthat some of the "budding champions"who remain with us will develop intoequally keen and successful leaders.

W7ELL, another year of competition hascome to a close and we are afraid

we must again congratulate anotherHouse on winning the Shield.

School House certainly deserves its suc-cess, which has been won by consistencyand a fine team spirit. We congratulateyou!

Bucks could not get going this year.In all sports the opposition was too good.In the "A" division we consistently filledthird place. However, we shaped betterin the "B," finishing off the year with ouronly success— a win in the "B" Housecricket, beating Staves by 40 runs andSchool by four after a most excitingmatch. In this match the true BucklandHouse spirit came to the fore. Our suc-cess was due mainly to the keenness ofour team. We hope that this will be agood omen for next year.

Next year a new system of allottingnew boys to Houses will be adopted. Theywill be grouped according to their weight-height-age rating and an attempt will bemade to make all the Houses as nearlyequal as possible in each division. Thissystem should stimulate interest in theHouse competition.

Keenness and House spirit will have agreater effect on the Shield than occa-sional brilliance, which we feel will enableBucks to be well to the fore next year.

SINCE the half-yearly report many

things—both expected and unexpected—have occurred with regard to the House.Although we started third term with anunbeaten record we just failed to holdSchool off, by seven points. We must con-gratulate the winners on a great year'ssport and the other losers, Buckland, onalways making it interesting. Above all,however, "Well done, Stephs!" It was nodisgrace to be beaten by such a smallmargin.

Football was the first House competi-tion this half.

"A": With Creese unable to play andSchool having such a formidable array ofFirst players, we did exceptionally well tobe beaten by nine points after leading atthree-quarter time.

"B": School were too strong for bothother Houses and we defeated Bucks, sothe results were the same in both divi-sions.

Cross-country was a great victory for usin "A," Ruddock being first, Thompsonsecond and Baker third; but, unfor-tunately, we could only get second toSchool in "B."

Standard athletics were concluded withSchool winning, then Stephs; and Schoolin "A" and "B," the first only by onepoint.

Athletics provided another win for usin "A"— a very convincing one, too,gained mainly by Ruddock, Creese, Baker

Owing to the intervention of theChristmas vacation it will be impossibleto form listening groups for the School,but it is hoped that as many of our boysas possible will be able to hear the series.The subjects, which are listed below, coveran important field, for all should be pre-pared to share in the solution of our post-war problems.

and Thompson. However, in the lowerdivision we could only make third toSchool and Bucks.

In cricket, also, Stephs could do nobetter, though Bucks replaced School.

In the all-important tennis, Colman,1km, Terry and Lethlean were too evenfor our team of Sheil 1, Creese, Ruddockand Butler i. This, plus her win in the"B," gave School the shield in spite ofour two seconds.

Therefore, Stephs gained five firsts,three seconds in "A," four seconds andtwo thirds in "B." This shows that ouryounger boys—those we will be dependingon in a few years, even next year, perhaps—are rather weak; so they will have totry hard to improve. This year we werevery close to winning the shield; makesure of it next year. Make 1944 the yearfor the Blue, Black and Gold to be on top.

GO TO SEA!

LOW mist hung off the beach, and thecrackle of the camp-fire seemed our

only homely comfort, for we had neverexperienced such a ghostly night before.

The water was dead calm, the sandsstill and cold, and the trees stood roundlike giant sentinels. Our white tent wasa ghostly monster with tangled claws. Thedancing fire was our only security. Wehad not spoken to one another for someminutes, maybe we were sensing the sameunspoken fears.

Into the stillness of the night came amuffled thud-thud-thud and the rattlingof metals together. We waited, then cameswirling through the mist not twenty pacesaway the figure of a one-legged sailor witha lengthy cutlass dangling at his side.

He stopped beside a tree, looked at uswith little curiosity, regarded our camp-site, grunted, then, moving through thebushes, disappeared into the mist.

We turned and stared after him inopen-eyed dreaminess, He was not theusual type of man seen wandering on abeach of to-day. He was at least a cell-tury behind our time.

We looked at one another, petrified.It seemed the same thoughts had struckus both. Sam's eyes were wide with horror,just as I had seen him once before whenwatching Frankenstein in a thriller.

That night was the worst I have everspent. Even after a gripping thriller ormurder I usually slept, but now I kepthearing that thud-thud-thud, not outside,but stamping through my brain.

We were in the village at daybreak,excitedly pouring out our story to thefamily. They listened very patiently, andit was only gradually that we realised theywere laughing at us. In the light of adultwisdom, we saw the ridiculousness of our

story, and by the end of the day werealmost convinced that the one-leggedsailor had been just a dream.

That night beside our camp-fire, thesame stillness, the same mist and coolness,and our thoughts of the previous nightcame back. In some gap of my mind thatthud-thud-thud came back and I beganto think of the sailor we had seen by thetree.

The tree was still there. I looked again,and from behind it the face of a grinningsailor appeared. I saw the toothlessmouth, the hollow eyes, the moppy hairand the grimy skin. They seemed realenough. I pinched myself - I wasn'tdreaming this time - I looked at the fire,put my hand nearer, and it burnt me.No! I wasn't dreaming. But—. Hehad gone.

We jumped up, rushed into the bushes- no trace, no sound. The sailor had dis-appeared just as mysteriously as he came.

We returned to the fire - scared. Wetalked in terrified whispers about ourghostly visitor. We assured ourselves wewere not dreaming - and to-morrow wewould tell our tale, and stick to it, nomatter how impossible it may seem.

Where did this ghostly figure comefrom?

Both Sam and I have been fighting adisbelieving world ever since; but thememory of the grinning sailor is still verydefinite. The daily paper published acurious article a few days later. It con-cerned the wreckage of a brig, which hadbeen discovered buried beneath the sandat a treacherous point on the coast, notfar from our holiday resort. In the hopeof finding lost treasure, the villagers dugthe hulk clear of sand, to find that theold, heavily lined cabin had acted as asealed chamber. The water had not seepedthrough and the airtight room had been

both a death-trap and a coffin, for thebodies of seven men were discoveredthere, each in different postures of death.On the stairway, crouched in a positionthat told grimly of a last desperatestruggle for life, was the body of a one-legged sailor!

Well, that's the story. Neither Sam norI can give any satisfactory explanation ofit. We just remember the sailor as we lastsaw him . . . thud-thud-thud . . . away inthe mist the clanking had gone - theback of a man was all we had seen, thenthe mist swirling round him, and so hevanished, and that was the last we sawof the one-legged sailor.

THE COMING OF SPRING

"Chaste dewdrop, venturous harbinger ofSpring."

—Wordsworth.

0NE cloudless morning I was startled

to see a pair of swallows dipping andcurvetting around our poplars. I imme-diately wished, as they were the first tobe seen that season. Upon the hillsiderunning up from the creek, the wheat wasalready assuming a deep emerald green,while high in the sky one could hear thebeautiful song of the skylark.

In the bush the snowdrops and orchidswere pushing their dainty heads throughthe munificent undergrowth, and on ourhawthorns buds were beginning to appear.The bright yellow acacias and daffodilslent a colourful aspect to the velvetysheen of the bush gum leaves.

After a bitter winter, Nature seemedto be spreading herself lavishly across theface of the earth, as if to compensate forthe bareness of the previous season, whilsteven the old superannuated platypus inthe creek seemed to be given a new leaseof life.

Soon the hawthorn was in full bloom.White and pink patches of blossom, re-lieved with a background of olive green,lined the roadsides for miles around,whileunder the stable roof hungry young spar-rows clamoured for food, but, when itarrived, argued so violently that the juicygrubs which had been obtained fromunder the garden hose were forgotten andsubsequently not devoured.

Down on the flat, three young rabbitswere playing among the clumps of lastyear's lucerne, while the herd of Jerseycows wended their weary way to theirdistant home. A party of starlings and astray mountain thrush were preeningthemselves under the hose, while Jacky,the half-tamed one-legged plover whichpatronised our garden, hopped here andthere idly pecking for grubs which werevery plentiful at the time.

It was, indeed, "Avete Vernalia."

THE LURE OF THEUNKNOWN

"I cannot rest from travel: I will drinkLife to the lees: all times I have enjoy'dGreatly, have suffered greatly both with thoseThat loved me, and alone; on shore and whenThro' scudding drifts the rainy HyadesVent the dim sea: I am become a nameFor always roaming with a hungry heartMuch have I seen and known."

—"Ulysses" (Alfred Tennyson)

When that great feeling of unrest fillsyour frame, when you long to feel thefresh sea breezes blowing strongly in yourface; when at night your bed is uncom-fortable, and you wish you were out wan-dering in the dark, seeing earth beneaththe light of the stars, quiet and unfathom-able. Then the Unknown, the wilds ofNature are calling. Get up and go! Itbrooks no denial. To those who answerthe call will come danger, discomfort, butalso a great measure of contentment. Thelong days slowly passing through a landthat brings new discoveries at each step.The warm nights at sea, sailing smoothlyover a glassy waste; the days when a warmblue haze hangs over the sea belying thepresence of land below the horizon. Thestorms which sweep both land and seawhen the mind is exhilarated by dangerand the body responds with every fibre.The chaos after the gale which struckterror into your heart, the beauty of liferenewed after the rain. The Unknowncalls silently, drawing one from here, an-other from there; it calls on you to comeand seek, it challenges you to come andprove man's ascendancy over all. Somehave answered and never returned, othersanswering from time to time return totaste of civilisation, and, disliking what

they found, have gone back to their mis-tress away from

"This strange disease of modern life,With its sick hurry, its divided aims,Its heads o'ertaxed, its palsied hearts."—"The Scholar Gipsy" (Mathew Arnold>

That is why you may come across, inodd corners of the world, bronzed, wea-therbeaten men with quiet manners,dreamy eyes, and without much wish totalk, for they have learned to wait andlisten in silence for the voice of the Un-known. Fools call them mad; those whoknow understand. This is why the Britishrace can claim so many among the ranksof this world's great explorers. Whereverthere is anything undiscovered, unex-plored or unknown, men will come toseek; some for personal gain, others forthe.good of their fellow men, others be-cause they hear the call of the Unknown,and accept the challenge.

In the realms of science there are al-ways those who seek; some to explain,others to create. Always they are probinginto the mysteries of their calling, search-ing far into the mists of ignorance.

"Through the twining mists of OxusBy the great Alphean well,

O'er the glories of Olympus,Down through deepest shades of hell,

Shapes that beckon onwards,Forms to i-nan unknown,

Calling, calling, forwardTo the great Unknown."

—"Search for the Unknown" ("Ulysses">

To some come success and contentment,they drink deep in their triumphs. Thosenot so fortunate seek, and when overcomeby discouragement at failure, hear thecall again and rise with strength renewedto face the struggle. To those who aftermany long years of toil, throughtroublous times and over almost insuper-able obstacles, suddenly come upon theobject of their research, that formlesssomething which had eluded them for solong, and they stand

"Like stout Cortez when with eagle eyesHe stared at the Pacific—and all his men

Look'd at each other with a svild surmise,Silent upon a peak in Darien,"

the reaction is tremendous; some react iaexcess of joy, others in sober thought; butalways they remember the lure, the fasci-nation that drew them on ultimately tosuccess.

Philosophers for centuries have soughtto solve the problems of the mind. Theyhave constantly explored the lesser knownchannels of the mind. Spiritualists intheir research lay themselves open todangers beyond the physical. Many dab-blers in spiritualism now spend their days

confined in mental institutions; yet theremainder seek ever onwards. Why is itthat men will face unimaginable dangers,extreme hardship, to answer the challengeof the Unknown? What is it that drivesthem on? Some will say personal gain;yet what personal gain could men such asSir John Franklin have in mind whenthey risk their lives, and sometimes loseit, as he did in his famous search for theNorth-West Passage? What made Malloryand Irvine go to their deaths among :hesnows of Everest?

The Unknown is ever calling, drawingmen and women from the comfort of thefireside to the blizzards of the Arctic andAntarctic, to the fevers and heat of thetropscs. And while man is still in exis-tence it will call and yearly take its toll,and send back others wiser and ready torespond once again to the lure of theUnknown.

HE day was one of the most beautifulthat I have ever seen. The sky was a

vivsd blue colour, and one or two patchesof fleecy-white clouds added a touch ofcolour to this delightful spectacle.

The birds, chirping and singing, wereof every imaginable colour - red, blue,green, yellow, pink, orange - and ofevery imaginable kind - skylarks, robinredbreasts, wrens, goldfinches, swallowsand summer birds.

The sun, shining on the snow-cappedpeaks, presented a dazzling white appear-ance which strained one's eyes when onelooked at it. Indeed, the day made onefeel glad to be alive!

The snow was several feet deep, but thetops of the green and yellow shrubs justshowed above the surface, and these addedmore beauty to the panorama.

But, suddenly, the whole appearancechanged . . . the birds ceased their sing-ing and disappeared from view; a darkcloud passed over the sun, and more fol-lowed until the entire sky was black. Thesnow no longer looked dazzling, and thetops of the shrubs now looked muchduller. Everything changed - . . a darkshadow seemed to pass over the entiremountain side.

Then, very suddenly, white snowflakesbegan to float earthwards. As time passed

18


on the snow storm grew in intensitythe flakes came down more thickly thanever and one could not see more than tenyards ahead. All the time the depth of thesnow on the ground kept steadily increas-ing; the original depth had been threefeet - it was now well over four feet.Everything became dark and still, and onewas nearly driven out of one's mind bythe eerie silence. Then, when the stormhad been raging for one-and-a-half hoursthe flakes ceased to fall almost as suddenlyas they had commenced. For some timethe darkness remained, but very graduallyit became light again.

A little while later the sky cleared andthe sun began to cast its rays over themountain side once more. But the ghostlysilence still remained, as is the case afterevery snow storm. As far as the eye couldsee the ground was covered with snow -riot very deep in the foothills, but aboutsix feet deep on and around the peaks.Soon the birds began to emerge from theirhiding-places and started to sing again.All the clouds disappeared from the sky,and one hour after the finish of the snowstorm the whole mountain was back tonormal once again.

COCONUT AND THE COCO-NUT PALM

HE coconut is the large nut of thecoco-paim, which grows in almost all

parts of the tropics near the sea. Al-though the tree grows wild, millions ofacres are planted with the coco-palm inCeylon and other warm, moist regions forcommercial purposes.

The coconut palm is one of the mostuseful trees in the world, for practicallyevery part of it is of service to the natives,or for export. The kernel of the youngnut is an important native food, and the"milk" is nourishing. The fibrous husk ofsome varieties of nut is made into coir,which is spun into matting and ropesand used for stuffing upholstery, etc. Thedried kernel is exported as copra, the oilof which is now used chiefly in margarine,also for the manufacture of soap andcandles. The kernel is also used as desic-cated coconut in confectionery. An intox-icating drink called toddy is extracted bythe natives from the sap of the flower-head, and from toddy a potent spiritcalled arrack is distilled. The leaves andwood of the tree are of great use to the

natives for house-building. British sup-pIts of coir are mainly imported fromCeylon and India.

GOOD OR BAD?

LATELY I have been intrigued with theidea expressed by Professor Murdoch

in one of his essays, that man can createwith ease and admirable effect the uglythings in nature. The beautiful things,however, seem to be elusive to the creativeminds and fingers of even the greatestartists.

To my mind, the whole solution lies inthe word creation. We have found in theworld that even every smile seems countedfor or against our characters in thisstrange social scheme. I mean to pointout - and this bluntly - that we can getnothing for nothing, and that every littlereward requires some effort. Thus, in re-viewing the word "creation," I think thatwe must impart a little of ourselves witheach creation, be it good or bad.

Wordsworth thought men were essen-tially good. I juggle with the idea thatmen are essentially bad and that good-ness lies in repression of evils in instinct.

See which impresses you the more ofthese two verses; which really is resonantof yourself?

"FAIRIES' PLEA""Let's build a rest where the swallows home,Where the birds and midges love to come,I'll find a bough in the oldest treeThat Nature's left for you and me.Too bright the sea with its white and gold.Too dark the forest's gloom and cold.Let's build where the woodland daintilyGives way to the meadow and where the seaJust tempts the eye with its azure show,Where distant wavelets come and go,Kissing the sand then run beforeThe gentle push 0f the sleeping shore."

"WITCHES' CRY""Let's snatch a charm from the gaudy day

And Out away, away, away,Far out on the back of a flying swine,Bring thou potions, bring thou wine,We shall meet in the Bacchus' dell;Curse your mother, curse her well.Drink from the gall of venom'd snake,Dreadful signs to the heavens make.Writhe within and writhe without,Curse your father, give a shoutAnd away, away! Out! Out!Fly with me to the Bacchanal."

Which of these verses can you say isnearer the bottom of your thought? CanI create good thoughts better than evilones, or have I, as I fear, created no-thing?

STANDARD ATHLETICS

Trials for standard athletics were heldagain at the end of third term, when thecompetition was concluded. In a specialafternoon of sprint relays and races tosettle 100 yds. orders many boys had use-ful competitive experience. The SeniorHouse competition was extremely close,School finally defeating Stephens by onepoint only. The effect of keen practice orthe lack of it was very apparent in someof the individual results. The best athleticsquotient, measuring the general standardof performances, was obtained by Darga-ville ii (143), followed by Sheil ii (134)

'J'HE results of the matches played inthe second quarter were reported in

the June Magazine. The School team hadthen won all its matches and was lookingforward to the next encounter against St.Virgil's.

When August 7th, the date for the fix-ture, arrived, Hodgson was on the injuredlist, but Creese, who had been injuredearly in the season, had rejoined the team.

The first quarter saw the School teamplaying in its best form - the forwardscombined well and made the most of theiropportunities, whilst the backs bustledtheir opponents to minimise the scoringchances.

Hutchins, 5.1 (31 points)St. Virgil's, 0.5 (5 points)

The second quarter was even, withHutchins having the better of the firstpart as the score at one stage stood 8.1 to1.8, but towards the end St. Virgil's wereattacking strongly.


Rain fell during the third quarter andSt. Virgil's, handling the greasy ball thebetter, outplayed the School. It was acomplete reversal of the first quarter, theSchool this time scoring only one pointwhilst St. Virgil's scored thirty.


The final quarter brought another re-versal of form, for the School team, ledby 1km in the ruck, forced home itsattacks, whilst Bennetto at half-back fre-quently foiled St. Virgil's forward moves.

The School added 3.3 and St. Virgil'sfailed to score, thus giving the School theSouthern premiership.


For the School, J . Bennetto played par-ticularly well and gained a trophydonated by Mr. S. V. Shearman for thebest player. 1km and Ruddock shared asecond trophy by the same donor, whomwe thank for his generosity. The rovers,Colman and Hawker, played usefulgames, whilst the others contributed to thegood victory.

THE STATE PREMIERSHIP MATCH

The match was played at the NorthHobart oval against the LauncestonGrammar School. Both teams played fastand good football, but the School'ssuperior team work and marking gave itan advantage which became more appa-rent as the game progressed. The quarterscores were:

Hutchins, 3.4, 6.7, 10.10, 17.12 (114points)

Grammar, 1.2, 4.2, 5.4, 8.8 (56 points)

NLY one competition match remainedto be played this term. Practices

indicated that the batting would besounder than at the beginning of theyear, but the final match against Friends'School, apart from the very fine centuryby Colman and a solid innings by Leth-lean, did not confirm this expectation.Steady methodical practice is needed toensure success against Launceston in thematch for the State premiership. Creeseagain bowled finely and was given ablesupport by the others. The fielding waskeen throughout, though there was a ten-dency to laxness by a few when thingswere going our way. T 0 Creese go thebowling honours and the award for thebest all .rounder, while Colman has thebatting average and was the team's out-standing fieldsman.

The Second XI secured a narrow winover St. Virgil's College, but was ignomi-niously defeated by the Moonah Boys'Club. The batting is far too unsound, andone may have to look to the lower gradesto replace men in the First XI.

There has been great keenness in theJunior practices, and already fruits of thesystematic coaching by Mr. Shann andMr. MacGregor are evident. Results havebeen encouraging in these grades.

In the House cricket Stephens won the"A" House competition, while Bucklandwon the "B" division.

Stephens House won the NicholasShield for the whole series.

In the open championship Ruddock,playing very consistently, eliminated twomembers of the School team—first Brooks,6-4, 6-0, and then Sheil, 6-3, 6-2.He also played very well in the finalagainst the School's captain, Colinan, andgained the first set.

THE SIXTH FORM TRUTH

No. 0, Vol. X Price: Kind Smile

NUDTTORIAL(Nothing in it)

After a strenuous half-year of workand play our star reporters and super-sleuths have collected enough blanknessfor another issue of the "Spasms" (believeit or not!). Owing to the hard work putin by our beloved masters, some of us feelthat we might even get somewhere in theLeaving. [Yes, but where? - Ed.]. Weregret not having been able to publishany photos taken by our press photo-grapher, but not even a master will waitlong enough for him to get one.

Sixth Form a Hot-House of Conspiracy

Our roving reporter brings to you aremarkable revelation which we are pri-vileged to present to the general publicfor the first time: There are secret societiesat Hutchins School! There are theA.W.A., the P.W.A., the I.W.A., andone or two other "brotherhoods" aboutwhich we couldn't obtain any informa-tion. In an interview, the president of theA.W.A. said that why the A.W.A. is sopopular is that most boys have enoughsense to steer clear of "man's enemies."A certain photo which he would not showour reporter is thought to have somethingto do with it. The president deplored thefac that most boys in the other societies(and in his, also, we are afraid) spend alltheir time at a certain well-known milkbar. "In fact, they are regular gluttons,"he said.

Sensational New Song Hit

School Cadets Score Success

Our accredited war correspondent atthe cadet camp reports that several of ourlads made a sensational hit out of theirrendering of a certain well-known songat one of the camp concerts. He also

adds that our worthy C.S.M., the ByronAppreciator, was mixed up in the inci-dent, but he forgot to mention whichpopular song it was.

News-Flashes

It has been reported that two "dishonestbabies" were recently caught playing "agame like naughts and crosses."

We have it on reliable authority thatO.H.B. recently unearthed a dangerousplot to blow up the School. The explosiveused was traced to a noted Sixth Formscientist. (Wouldn't it!).

We have had a similar report to theeffect that a waste-paper tin with whichhe was playing "he-man basket-ball"blew up in his hands.

It appears that the 6B babies have de-veloped an alarming habit of "throwingup their hands in despair." This appearsto be due to those "very beautiful" proofswhich are "so devastatingly general," andalmost led us to write an ode to Ceva andMenelaus. However, we have thought thebetter of it.

The Editor's Mail Bag

"Interested" wants to know why thereis always an odour of ozone near theWimshurst machine in the Physics lab.

G.R.E. tells us that Smith has occa-sional need of a dictionary, and wants toknow why Smith has trouble in readingcertain pieces from Shakespeare.

"Pro Bono Publico" writes an impas-sioned letter, which we dare not print,suggesting that Robty be forciblyrestrained from singing. The only remedywe can suggest is to lock him up in aroom with McIntyre and rely upon thelaws of the Interference of Sound!

W/E have with us this year three bud-ding poets, "De," "Dah" and "Dit."

Although their masterpieces are not forpublication, we have below one of theirinfamous schemes:

De-dah, de-dah, de-dah, de-dah,-De-dah, de-dah, de-dah,-De-dah, dit-dit, djt-dah, de-dah-De-dah, dit-dah, de-dah.

For centuries the question has beenasked all over the universe: What is theHutchins Intermediate really like? Well,at last we have an answer:

Just 33 eggs in one big incubator. Alltypes—good eggs, rotten eggs, boiledeggs, poached eggs, and even "devilled"eggs. [Yes, and addled eggs—Ed.].

DURING the past half-year the Formhas been cudgelling its brains over a

query which has been echoed from boy toboy, and in some cases from boy to master(much to the boy's regret). Anyhow, whodid burn the cakes?

Our CDL. chaps have had a hot time,also. LW., who, unfortunately sits nearthe fire, has a passion for flame andsmoke Oft is the time we see smoke risingpeacefully to the ceiling.

We are of an enquiring turn of mindand would like to know the origin of thefollowing famous sayings:

"A circle is a line drawn between thedegrees."

"Live within your means."

"If your liabilities exceed your assets,then you're bankrupt."

"Every credit has a correspondingdebit."

Under the eagle eye of the Intermediateexaminers we found it rather hard to keepup our good results! - which, by the way,come Out on Christmas Eve, the nightbefore the chook is roasted.

We have many "big men" visit us thesedays!!! That's what Banty, our prizeddouble-yolker, says, anyway.

One hundred per cent, of the class goto the water every day to see whether theystill float (i.e., to see if they are still"bad eggs") or whether they still sink(i.e., to see if they are still "good eggs").

But we expect we shall all end up likethe other eggs - on toast!

"Get out your little black - I meanblue - note-books."

"I will drop on you any minute."

"Forty out of forty for verbs."

"Bring your Pendlebury at 4 o'clock."

Random Notes

Prof. E. T. Samuel has invented a newdiving-helmet, made of a kero. tin and ahand-pump. It is said to withstand adepth of five feet, telephones and all.

We are unreliably informed that aspelling-bee is mooted for the Fifth, B.C.and K.K. having been named as pro-moters. Wouldn't it?

It is learned with dismay that puns areto be abolished. This is especially tryingin view of the fact that we are becomingquite expert under an able coach.

We have come to learn that straps andblackboard rulers have a dual role. This,we fear, is austerity!

THIS year we have had one of the big-gest classes in the School, numbering

thirty-four altogether. We have toppedthe whole School in the amount sub-scribed by classes for War Savings, andsince the second term have contributedover £60 in stamps and cash. We havethree groups in the War Savings class,namely, Army, Navy and Air Force.

This last term we have been using theTepid Baths three days a week, and mostof the beginners are making good pro-gress with their swimming.

SINCE our last appearance in the Mag-azine, picture periods have been very

popular, and we were very disappointedwhen the globe blew out a few weeks ago,as there may be no more pictures untilafter the war.

The Library has been much appreciated,and we have spent a number of enjoyablereading periods there.

offer our hearty congratulations toStephens House, under the able

leadership of Graeme Renney, for win-ning the House Shield. In fact, Stephenswon all the events during the year, andthe captain, G. Renney, finished off a mostsuccessful term by winning the TennisChampionship.

We had some good games of footballduring the winter terms and some of theboys shaped very well at the game, andeven a few of the younger boys showedthey were not afraid of taking knocks andbumps.

In one of the House cricket matchesJ. Stopp did the "hat trick," whilst his

Our question-box is not so full thistime, but here are some which requireserious consideration:

"Why does Black like to catch the latebus?"

"Why is Coates called 'Birdie'?""What is behind Seaton's hard study?""When will Freddie ask a new one?"

—And, talking of D.T.'s, our poet musthave his little say:

cousin, P. Trethewey, not to be outdone,made top score of 23 runs, and by sodoing upheld the reputation of SandyBay.

We are quite excited about the play weare having at the Kindergarten Break-up.Miss Upchurch has been able to trackdown some budding actors, so we feel con-fident of a good evening's entertainment.

We were very sorry one of our membersfound it necessary to pay rather a lengthyvisit to St. John's Hospital. When hecame out he was minus his appendix.However, we all hope Nigel Henry willbe the better for his operation.

I think that is thegoal for which we should be aiming, and,after all, it should not be beyond the

On Sports Night two of our boys re-ceived prizes. They were Geoffrey MintonTaylor, the champion of Form I, andDennis Giblin, the champion of Form XI.

Work has proceeded as usual and weare now having our yearly examinations.We are all trying to do our best work,and perhaps we may win a prize.

We wish everyone a Very Happy Christ-mas and ever so much fun in the holi-days.

capacity of a school such as ours to pro-vide two short programmes from amongits members.

If we can do creditable work in therealms of examinations and sports, weshould not be content to be backward inother respects, but should try to lead theway in every branch of school activity.Let us, then, be glad that a start has beenmade in that direction, and try and see toit that an "All-Hutchins" programmedelights our audiences at both SportsNight and Speech Night next year. Anddon't leave it all to the choir!

J.W.N.

'JHE unfinancial year draws to a"quiet"close, and with this finis we will lose

many of our stalwarts, but we notice somewho are rapidly growing under the in-Iluence of our "tucker"—"swellingwisibly," in fact.

Among the budding geniuses of theHouse we have found at least five Mar-conis, and one combine 'has invented asecret weapon which has been duly triedand discovered most effective, to the dis-comfort of many.

The House, and particularly the BlueDorm., suffered a great loss when amiableold Buck decided to become one of thelanded gentry. Even so, this well-knownface seems to be seen very frequently -maybe the "jug" has some attractionsafter all.

The prefects lately seem to have takena great liking to the north side of theSchool. Are they building something inthe skite shop, or is there some otherattraction?

Of late our racing auto or travellingjunk-heap - whichever you please - hasput in a regular appearance. It is a"peculiarity" that she always runs out ofpetrol at the back gate. In fact, the onlyserviceable part seems to be the horn.

In the latter part of this term someHUGE guys, headed by the "WaterSpaniel," have taken to tying themselvesin knots on the bathroom floor. We of thebed-lovers are naturally awfully jealous.

One of the masters seems to havenoticed many alterations in the outlineof the School badge, to such an extentthat he even thought one of them "nice,"much to Dumbo's embarrassment.

OLD BOYS PRISONERS OF WARAND MISSING

The Rev, and Mrs. M. J. May, Laun-ceston, have received the following briefletter from their son, Chaplain 3. L. May,who is a prisoner of war in Japan:

"Sunday, 29th August, 1943.

"My Dear Family.

"Just a line to say that everything isO.K. Hope all is well with you. Amawaiting letter. Ray Vincent was O.K. inJava. Remembering you at weekly Euch-arist.

"JOHNNY."

Mrs. R. W. Vincent has received a shortletter from her husband, Lieut. Ray Vin-cent, written from Java, probably on Tri-nity Sunday (June 20th). He is very welland in good spirits.

Sgt. 3. M. 0. Harris, son of Major3 . R. 0. Harris, formerly Headmaster ofthe School, is now presumed dead. Pre-viously he was posted missing from anoperational flight over the North Sea inSeptember, 1942.

OLD BOYS DECORATED ONACTIVE SERVICE

We heartily congratulate the followingon the awards they have received for gal-lantry and distinguished service:

Squardon-Leader H. B. Nickolls, eldestson of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Nickolls, ofHowley Lodge, Campbell Town, has beenawarded the D.F.C. He enlisted fromWest Australia with the R.A.F. and is nowin the Middle East.

Wing-Commander John Howard Playeris again in the news. In February last, asreported in the previous issue of thisMagazine, he was awarded the D.F.C.,and now the news comes that he has inaddition received the Distinguished Ser-vice Order. Son of the late Dr. C. E.Player, of Bothwell, and Mrs. E. M.Player, who resides now at Trewsbury,near Cirencester, England, he was an


undergraduate of the University of Tas-mania. The exploit that brought theaward of D.F.C. to Wing-CommanderPlayer was the shooting down of threeanemy planes in one night over Tunisia.

Sgt. Frank Warner, of "Valleyfield,"New Norfolk, has been mentioned in des-patches in recognition of gallant and dis-tinguished services in the Middle East.

Capt. C. H. Ivey has been awarded theDistinguished Service Order for gallantconduct and initiative. The citation saysthat during an advance against an enemyfrontier the Company Commander waswounded during the first few minutes ofthe attack. Ivey immediately took con-rol and pushed forward with such vigour

and determination that he advancedapproximately four miles into enemy-occupied territory, thus enabling theremainder of the battalion to followthrough and consolidate the objective be-fore nightfall. During the advance Iveycleared three definite areas of enemy resis-tanc and gained his objective with a bril-liant bayonet charge through most diffi-cult country, comprising heavy jungleand swamp, necessitating constant fight-ing over the whole distance in twelveinches of mud while the company was sub-jected to sniping from the enemy in thetrees.

Sgt. [an M. Hay, an Old Boy of Frank-lin House School, has been mentioned indespatches in recognition of gallant anddistinguished services in the Middle East.He was also awarded the Military Medalfor gallantry, leadership and devotion toduty throughout the whole of the fightingat El Alamein. His commanding officerwrites:

"Throughout this period he showedgreat coolness, courage and determina-tion. At one stage all his gun detachmentwere wounded by bombing and by shell-ing, and the ammunition in the gunpitset on fire. He organised a detachment,put out the burning ammunition and kepthis gun firing at a time when our infantrywere being heavily counter-attacked andit was vital to keep every gun in action.

"He later took over his normal dutiesas Troop Sergeant-Major, and again, byhis courage, disregard of danger, and hisstrength of character, did much to main-tain the morale of his troop despite re-peated bombing attacks and hostile shell-ing. His conduct throughout the opera-tions was a splendid example and aninspiration to all his troop."

97th ANNIVERSARY OF THEFOUNDATION OF THE

SCHOOL

3rd August, 1943

The chief features of the Anniversaryprogramme this year were the usual OldBoys' church service held at St. David'sCathedral on Sunday, August 1st, thepreacher at Evensong on this occasionbeing the Dean of Hobart (Very Rev.H. P. Fewtrell), and also the AnnualMeeting of the Association at the School,and Luncheon held at Highfield Hotel onAugust 29th and September 2nd respec-tively. The President of the Association(Mr. A. J. Miller, Jun.), in the courseof an address given by him at theluncheon, which was well attended, saidthat during the year 100 more Old Boyshad enlisted and ten more had given theirlives. In all, 450 Old Boys were serving.A guest of honour at the luncheon wasMr. L. H. Lindon, M.A., a former Head-master of the School.

Unfortunately, this year, as well as theOld Boys' Annual Dinner and AnnualBall having to be omitted from the pro-gramme, the tennis and debating fixtureshad also to be deleted on account of thelack of teams.

At the Annual Meeting Mr.V. I. Cham-bers was re-elected unopposed as one ofthe Old Boys' representatives on theBoard of Management of the School,and Mr. A. J. Miller, Jun., was electedPresident of the Association for thesecond successive year.

HUTCHINS OLD BOYS' LODGE

In place of the annual picnic given tothe children of the Clarendon Home, aparty was arranged at the Home by anumber of the Brethren. This was thethirteenth annual treat given to the chil-dren, and was greatly enjoyed by them.

It is with the deepest regret that wehave to record the passing of two of ourBrethren - the late Bishop, Wor. Bro.R. S. Hay, and Wor. Bro. Geo. B. Arnold.Both of these Brethren were FoundationMembers of the Lodge.

The annual Installation was held inJuly, when Bro. A. S. McAfee was in-stalled in the Chair of King Solomon bythe Most Wor. Grand Master, Wor. Bro.H. U. Wilkinson, assisted by GrandLodge Officers.

At the October meeting an amendmentto the By-Laws was passed whereby OldBoys of the Launceston Church GrammarSchool and the affiliated Launceston HighSchool (E.A.N.) become eligible formembership of our Lodge. A reciprocalamendment has also been passed by theOld Grammarians' Lodge.

Our membership now stands at 64, ofwhom 22 are on, or have returned from,active service. This ratio of enlistmentsto membership is the highest of that ofany Lodge in the Jurisdiction.

MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTIONS

It is regretted that many Old Boyshave allowed their 5/- annual subscriptionto lapse. In view of the necessity for theAssociation to be kept as live and asstrong as possible against the day of thereturn of hundreds of Old Boys now on

active service, it is hoped that this appealwill meet with a ready response from allthose who may read it and who are nowin arrears with their subscriptions. Owingto the paper shortage and higher postagerates, etc., the Committee finds it impos-sible to forward Association notices andSchool Magazines to those whose sub-scriptions are more than two years inarrears.

Payments may be made to any of thefollowing:—

(a) Mr. R. L. Collings, c/o the School;(b) The Diocesan Book Depot, Murray

Street (opposite Hadley's).(c) The undersigned.
