DEBIT

Scholastic: K. W. Goodwin and N. M. Rossall did so well at the Christmas examination that they were promoted. (This is put on the debit side, as they were formerlv able to answer most of the questioins and are sadly missed.)
Miscillianeous : We shall be sorry to lose L. J. Pickles, who will by now have emigrated to Hamilton, in Canada. We send him our best wishes,
Act of God (latest news) : We learn that F. R. Gardiner and Furness managed to fill into Stanley Park lake. Foul play cannot he ruled out. The Form detective, I. Wrav, has to solve the absorbing and perhaps ticklish problem:
"Did they fall, or were they pushed ?"
