“...number of an official and united B.S.—G.S. magazine is our authority for such audacity. The ensuing pages herald a signally unique departure in the annals of the two schools, a departure on which we wish to write, ‘‘Esto Perpetua”. This magazine is not a continuation of the ‘‘Magnet”, with which one School has been burdened for some years. Its purpose is to give a record of living interest, of the activities of the schools during the previous term and is to provide an outlet for the literary talent which otherwise would remain latent. A very important factor and one which strikes the first note is the Cover design. For so beautiful and artistic a production we are indebted to Miss F. Luton and the editors wish to express their gratitude to Miss Luton for so willingly submitting her contribution to the success of the Schools’ Magazine. It is not out of place here to thank the following for so kindly sending in designs, for the Cover: Miss I. Phare, Mrs. J. Bowe, Miss Priestman and J. N. Duncan...”

“...Sports filled up the latter half of the term and in the Long Run (Senior) the results were exceedingly good. The School record was broken and an altogether higher standard was set by every- one. Old Boys will be interested to know that the full hundred yards was run for the first time this year and with strings. The school welcomed to the Staff this term, Mr. C. G. Edwards who is taking up some of the Maths’ and Science work. To him we are indebted for the exceedingly fine etchings of the two schools: we fully expect they will ap- pear in our next number. Before closing, the editors would like to voice their appreciation of the tireless energy and sympathetic advice of Mr. S. Houghton and his extremely large quota to this magazine’s success. In this connection we would also like to mention Miss McCarthy who has in every phase done much to set a high standard to our first number....”

“...our immediate connection with our School. Some few indeed, have returned from time to time and served on the Staff in different capacities. But to the large majority the personal link is, of necessity, broken, except for an occasional letter from an ‘‘Old Stager,” to whom we are still something more than a name. And “old stagers” are growing few and far between these days! For the last lour years and more, however, there has been one member of the Compound, who, though not on the Staff of the Schools, has identified himself in every possible way with the interests of the boys and girls. With indifferent health, and often in great weakness, Bob Faers (or Robbie as most of us will remember him,) was always ready to lend a hand. For a long time he took upon himself the task of scoring for the School matches, and cricket enthusiasts grew accustomed to looking up and seeing him at the music- room window—interested in every stroke of the game, and in the development of every promising cricketer...”

“...8 There would in the ordinary course of affairs, have been no lecture on April 6th, but, being Good Friday, the schools were free to come, so Mr. Houghton very kindly gave us a lecture on John Bunyan and his works. The first part of the time was occupied by an account of Bunyan's life, and the second part by selections from his works with short comments on each. Although the name of Bunyan was so farailar to most, yet some of us did not know much about his life. It was interesting to hear of his dissolute and reckless youth, how he went to the Civil Wars, came back and married and yet seemed still to have the same dissolute and headstrong character. We then heard of the gradual stages of his conversion and, last of all, of his latter years spent largely in prison, and of his death, from a chill caught when visiting a friend. After a short interval we heard some readings from his works, and thus ended a very enjoyable evening. On April 9th, Mr. Tweedie in this, the last lecture of the term...”

“... Never before, since Hockey was first introduced here, have the seasons been so much enjoyed as those of the last two years; and under skilful and patient coaching the plav has improved by leaps and bounds. Last year Miss Linda Cassels, a county player, was a great asset to the game and this year, Hr. Johnstone, Mr. Lutley, Mr. Duncan, and Miss Pyle must take a large part of the credit for the appreciable difference of the play in general, which now we are told is up to the standard of most Schools in England....”
