School News. 

'1\,rR. Pryce Taylar resigned the Head Mastership of theJ '" School at the end of last te/m. During the fourtem 

years Mr. and Mrs. Taylar ha.ve been with us they ha.ve 
endeared themselves to all witr.. whom they have come in contact, 
and we venture to say there is no boy who has been at School 
under Mr. Taylor who has not learned to re"pect him as a master 
and to love him as a friend. On behalf of every boy, past and 
present, and every inhabitant of ShafteslJury, we beg to tenJer him 
and his wife our heartfelt thanks for the ~plendi(l 
work they have 
done for the School, and to wish them both very many year:; of 
health and happiness in which to enjoy their well-earned rest. 

At a meeting of the Governors, held at the School on July 25th, 
at 3 p.m., Dr. Tovey was elected from a large number of candidates 
to fill Mr. Tarlor's place. Dr. Tove}" has been a master at 
Wellingborough Grammar School for sixteen year!il, and for the last 
six of these was .econd in command, and had the entire management 
of aRouse containing fifty Boarders. No School has so 
rapidly advanced in recent years as Wellingborough has, and Dr. 
Tovey's long experience under the most successful Head Master of 
modern times should fit him to carry on and complete the splendid 
'Work done by Mr. Taylor. We feel we are most fortunate in 
having as our new Head Master one who has had an honourable 
University career and such excellent experi611ce, and are confident 
that Dr. Tovey will successfully guide the destinies of our School 
and win the confidence and respect of all connected with it. 'Ve 
are sure that all give Dr. and Mrs. Tovey a hearty welcome, and 
wish them If God speed.'1 


., 


We reg-ret to record the dC:l.th of the Rev. Thomas Perkins, 
which took place in l\:Inrch last, at Bblluford. For fifteen year8 he 
was Head Master of this Sehool, haying been appoir,te(] when the 
scheme was re-organised, and the pre,ent buildings were opened in 
1878. Previous to coming-to Shaftesbury he had held appointments 
at Tiverton, Durham, and Reading Schools. It was during hiB 
stay at Durham that he was ordaincll. On leaving shaftesbury in 
1893, he received the living of Turnworth, near Blancllord, where 
be died. '1'he news caused a very real and wid(~:-;prf'ad 
regret among 
his old pupils, some of whom attended the interment at S. James's 
Church, Shaftesbury, to pay the bst tokens of respect. The school 
was represented by Mr. Pryce 'l'aylor and the Sixth and Fifth 
Forms.

ENTERTAINMENTS. 

'Ve propose to (I'ive a few Concerts during the camming Winter, 
at which a very s~all 
charrre will be plade for admission, sufficient 
to clefl'ay expenses. The p~ogramme 
will g'cnerally include a Magic 
Lantern display, and every parent and friend of the School will 
receive n. hearty welcome, and, as far ns possible, a seat. 

H not too late, we would like to tender our very heal'ty congratulations 
to Mr. Watmough and Harold Strange on the great iuccess 
that attended the Shaftesbury Historical Tatleaux,last April. The 
way in which they were arranged and staged reflected the greatest 
credit on all concerned, and everybody connected with the School 
is naturally very proud of tbe fact that the Tableaux were 
organised and produced, and the dialogue written, hy a. Master 
and an Old Boy. A word of praise is also due to Mrs. Tay10r and 
th~ 
different masters and boys who so admirably portrayed various 
characters. 

Old Boys' Ne'Ws. 

C. IllBETT has recently succeeded in obtaining a Second Division 
Clerkship in the Clvil Service. There were 1,137 candidates for 
70 vacancies, and he was placed 36th on the list. 
E. W. B.lKER visited the School on Speech Day. He has 
reiiided in Switzerland sinl:e leaving School, and has just received 
an appointment in Siemen's Electrical Works, G~rmany. 
J. TAPPER, who, since leaving School, has been well known in 
connection wit·h the Shaftesbury & District Football, was married 
about Ea"ter, and hRS since emigrated to New Zealand. We wish 
him every happiness and. success in his new sphere. 
Any Old Shastonian who desires to \"'iiit bis old School, at any 
time, will receive a hearty welcome from Dr. and Mrs. To\'ey. 

Will Old Boys kindly ,upply the Editor with any detail, about 
themselveR, and their doings, which they would like inserted in our 
next is.'me ? 

We have to thank Fred Strange and H. S. Knight for their contributions 
to the present issue, ~nd 
hope that others will follow 
their good example. 

In future, every Old Boy will have a copy of the School Magazine 
pre,;ented to him the Term after he leaves, :md we hope that all 
Olrl Boys will keep in touch with the life of their old School by 
beeoming annual subseribers. (Subscription, 1/6 per annum~ 
three numbertl). 


Speech Day a nd List of 

Prizes. 

nUR Speech Day, this year, was specially memorable, since it 
U was the last one which Mr. Pryce Taylar would attend, and 

on that day, our new Head, Dr. Tovey, was to be present. 
The scenes from Shaketpeare's 'I As you like it," were well rendered 
by N. J. rrunnington, R. Charlton, H. Dyer, F. T. AtkiIUlon, 

G. W. Chea.ter, S. Johnston, and P. Genge, while S. G. Nobbs and 
P. Taylor gave their French dialogue with great spirit and fluenc,)'. 
THE HEADMASTER'S REPORT. 

Mr. Pryce Taylor reported the following suecesses in public 
examinations :-F. T. Atkinson and H. Dyer obtained County 
Council bursaries, of the annual value of £8. In the Oxford Local 
Examication, W. P. Norman obtained a senior certificate, P. Taylor 
a junior certificate with second class honours, P. Harding and S. G. 
N obbs junior certificates with third class honours. Seven boys 
took the Cambridge Local Examination this year, at the Shaftes~ 
bury Centre. Christie Ibbett, who obtained a boy-clerkship direct 
from the School three years ago, had recently gair.ed a 2nd 
Division Clerkship in the Civil Service, being 36th out of 1,137 
candidates. Tbe Rev. Thos. Perkins, for 1G years headmast~r 
o~ 
the School, bad died, and also two old bOYB~Seymour 
New and 
1.'om Gatehouse. Our Cricket and Football had both been exceptionally 
good, and our boys had done well in the Dorset Secondary 
Schools' Sports. 

Mr. Pryce Taylor then read the Rev. W. E. Long's report on 
the School Examination, which had been highly satisfactory. 

J. 'V. Miles and H. Robins had gained the two scholarships, while 
E. F. Jesse and L. O. Jones had been awarded exhibitions. 
Thanks were tendered to Mr. M. S. Williams, Dr. Rarris, Mr. 

H. G. Norton, Mr. J. Burbidge, Mr. R. W. Barley, the Rev. G. H. 
Yarnall, Lady Theodora Guest, and Mrs. Johnston, for gifts of 
prizes. 
1.'h6 Headmaster said it was with the greatest reluctance and 
regret that he had tendered his resignation to the Governors, and 
could not fle\'er his connection with the School without thanking 
the Governors and the inhabitants of Shaftesbury and neighbour~ 
hood for their loyal bupport during the past fourteen years. He 
felt sure that Dr. 'rovey, his successor, would be jealous of the 
honour and reputation of the School, and do all in biB power to 
increase ita prm;perity and usefulnBts. 


(j 

The Rev. '\V. E. Long 8a1(1 that the general result of the examin.. 
aEon had been eminently sat.isfactory. The teaehillg appeared to 
be careful and conscientious, and the boys bad to a large extent 
appropriated it. In the press of the lUo(1ern curriculum, litcl';\l'Y 
subjects were ~peci,111y 
liable to suiIer, but the School had maintained 
a high standard, and there was little doubt that the good 
foundation laid in it would enable scholars to build succcss1ully 
thereon in the years to come. 

The Chairman distributed th~ 
following prizes :


Form VI.-S. G. Nobbs, F. T. Atkinson. 
Porm V.-N; J. Tunnington, G. W. Cheater.

The Cbairman said there was no doubt taat it was to Mr. and 
Mrs. Taylor that the extraordinary efficiency of the School at the 
present time' was owing, and asked those present to accord a vote of 
thanks and appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Taylor for their work and 
efforts in connection with the School. 

Mr. TayloJ', in reply, alluded to his approaching departure, and 
paid a tribute to the kindness and sympathv exteuded to him and 
his wife 'during their residenge iD Shaftesbury.

After a vote of thanks to the Chairman: 1\-11'. Harold Stl'l1nge, 
accompa.nied by other old boys, askeu Mr. 'faylor':-o acceptance of a 
handsome entree-dish al'5 a token of esteem and affection from past 
and present scholars. He mentioned the readine;;" with which all 
had subscribed, and also spoke of the regard wiJich ..\lr. TaJ'lor }md 
had for the moral welfare of the boys, and the interest he had taken 
ill their games and sports. rrhe unfailing kindness and goodness of 
MfS. 'faylor WDlIltl always be remembered. 

Mr. Ta.ylar sail} words failed him to adequately express his 
appreciation, bnt both he and Mrs. Taytar thanked them from the 
bottom of their hearts for tiJis memento of their esteem aod of his 
a~sociation 
with that School and with Shaftesbury. 

"Dulce Domum" and the N~tional 
Anthem, together with 
cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Ta,vlor, Dr. Tovey, the Assistant Masters, 
the Governor::; anJ visitors, brought t.he proceedings to a close. 

CRICKET NOTES. 

T
T
HE Season, thongh not as successful aB that of 1906, hai 
been highly satisfactory. Our opponents were the usual 
Schools and Sbaftesbury Town. In all, 9 matches wer~ 
played, of which we won 4, lost 4, g,nd abandoned 1 011 account 
of rain. We triumphed over Sexey's, Bruton (at home), County 
Scheol, Blandford (at home), Foster's School, Sherborne (home), 
and Milton Abbas, Blandford (away). Th~ 
'fown (twice), and 
Gillingham and Foster's, beat us. 

The ontstanding feature of the season was the excellent 
batting of Pryce TayZor. His aggregate for 11 innings was 265 
runs, of which 65 not out, against Blandford County School, 
was the best item. His average, 33'1, is no doubt the highest 
that has been made in the School for a number of years. 

S. NoMs, this season, made rapid strides as a batsman, and 
with a total of 195 for 11 innings, had an average of 24'4 rUDS. 
HiB best effort was 73, not out, aga.inst Milton Abbas School. 
The rest of the team call for no specia.l mention with regard 
to run.getting, their aggregate being small. 

OharZton, the Ca.ptain, took all the bowling honours, obtaining 
50 wickets at a. cost of 4'O4l runs per wicket. 

Nobbs, Taylor i'J and Genge, were all very useful as change 
bowlers.

HIS event took pbce nil Tlml'.-;l!ay, .June 13th, h:l:rin~ 
lwcn 
postpolled from till' pt'l'\'ious day, owing-to rain. To this 
r83.80n may be ascribed the C0111p<l.l'ativply f'mall numher of 
spectators on the ground. Even the postponement (liJ lIot -;CCUl'e 
perfectly fine weather, a~ 
the programme was occasionally illtCI'R 
fupted by heavy showers, which compcllcll all who could do 80 to 
fly to the nearest slll'lter. 

As usual, the competition was extremely keen, and, generally 
speaking, good form 'was shown. for the ~Scllior 
{,hamJlion~hir, 


H. Charlton and S. Nobbs were the (avourites. The forml'T, hOWR 
ever, succeeded in carrying-off the Cup with a score of 70 marks, tn 
60 gained by Nobbs. For the JUIJior Championship, E. J. r'jrth 
a.nd J. W. Miles tied, each having 25 mal·ks to bis credIt. To 
decide the point, an extra race (220 yds.) was held, the rl'suIt of 
which gave Firth the lead. An additif)llal prize was awarded to 
Miles, in recognition of the pll1Cky struggle he bad made 
The Old Boys chose the High Jump for their event, the first 
and second prizes being taken by the brothers C. & H. Keai;t 
respective}y. 

We have to tender our very hearty thanks to the many friends 
of the School who subsc:ribed Ba generously to the Prizes Furlll. 
The distribution was kindly undertaken by the Mayoress (:.\lrs. 
Earris), after which the proceedings ended with the usual vote of 
thanks. The Town Band, under the direction of Mr. InkpetJ, 
provided music during the afternoon.

ThurRday, the 20th of June, a number of our most

U
U
N 

uistiog-uished athletes, accompanied by Mr. Ramshaw and 

Mr. j{ich, Ret tortb to win renown in the Park at Poole. 
The drive to Blandford proved most enjoyable, as the weather 
\vas e..erytLing-that could be desired, and perhaps the fact of 
om' having' a Hpecial holiday for the occasslon added to the 
enjoyment. The Headmaster of Rlandford School, Mr. 
Orccnllalgh, who acted fl,f; Hon. Sec., was kind enough to make 
arrang'ementR for us at Blandford, and we went on by train to 

Poole, reaching-there in time to have a look round hefore the 
fUll be~an. 
Some of UR inspected the harbour, while others 
endeavourod to get some pictlll'e post cards lol.S a memento of 
their visit. The Park is a very pl"etty spot., and Mr. Boyer, 
our host, ha.d arranged everything very satisfactorily. 

The Grammar ~chool 
was represented by P. Taylor, R. CharltoD, 

S. ft. Nc.bbs, P. Gellge, S. I.eCouilliard, A. H. Taylor, R. C. 
Withers and C. Galvayne, while Mr. Harn~h<lw 
officiated a" a judge 
and :\h. [{ich as a starter. In the Seniors' Long Jump, Taylor and 
Charlton secured first and second place", Tarlor's jump being 15ft. 
8till~., 
and in the Seniors' High Jump, 'l'a}'lor again distinguished 
himself, getting a second. Gonge threw the Cricket 8all with 
great vigour, all(l ranked third. GahaYIlI~ 
man:lged the Juniors' 
Hurdles and the Juniors' High Jnmp in Orle style, obtaining first 
place in b0th events. \Vithcr>: was third ill no le"s tllRn three 
cv~nts, 
and if Galvayne and he had not. through some rnisunder~ 
standing, omitted to take their place:-:; for tl:e .Juniors' 220yrls., 
they would undonbtedly have given a good account of themselves 
in that race. \Vith regard to those not placed, we cau truly say 
that they did their best for their School, and did it well. The 
Championship was won for Blandford Secomlarj' School, whom we 
lleartily congratulate. They travelled back with us by the same 
train and their display of vocal music fully testified to their 
satisfae~Jion. 
Wimhorne carna second, Shaftesbury third, PooIe next, 
and last of all, Parkstone. Mr. Borer kindly supplied u~ 
\yith an 
excellent tea which we all thoroug-hly enjoyed. The Sports were a 
great SUCCCS5l, and wc rctul'lled home feeling that we had every 
reason to be satisnei with the sportsmanlike manner in which our 
Shastonians had carried out their share of the programme.

A Trip to Madeira. 

"YOUR coffee sir! "-'Ve are roused from n Rweet, peaceful 

slumber about 6 a.m., by 0111' cabin steward, who, when 

handing us the beverage, Offers the information that wo 

shall be anchored within an hour. 

Having drunk our coffee, we proceed to dreHs and stroll up to 
the promenade deck. The sight which meets our eye bames 
de&cription. To sum it up in a few words (in somewhat 
metaphorical language), here is an emcraIJ of brightest hUB, 
peacefully reposing on n boundless sapphire. But even thia 
description fails to convey to the reader an adcquntc idea of the 
splendour and richness of the scene, and it would require the 
pen of a very experienced and prolific writer to do it even 
Bcanty justice. 

The Island, off which we have by this time dropped anchorj 
is one mass of verdure as far as the e.ve ca.u reach, even to tho 
summit of the lofty bills which mark the extent of our vision. 

Nestling in the crescent shape of this Ride of the Islnnd, with 
the emerald background, is the town of ~~unchal, 
the capital, 
and only place of importance, all the hOllses of which are either 
built of white stone, '01' plastered white on the outside, with 
roofs invariably red. 

No sooner had our veElsel heen brought to a standstill, than 
we were surrounded by score::; of small hoaf!:" eacll containingone-
sometimes two-Portng-uese, arrayed in diving costume; 
they clamoured, in broken English, for silver coins to be thrown 
into the water, after which they would dive and bring them to 
the surface, and shout for more. 

Following immediately after these boats would come others, 
bearing pilell-up loads" of wicker chairs, tables, fa.ncywork 
canaries, and bananas. 

Large nnmbers of them clambered like monkeys np the side 
of our ship-at first glance, apparently on notbiugo-but on a 
closer inspection we found they had dexterously thrown ropes, 
having a crooked end, round anI' boat derricks, and up 'these" 
had swarmed. 

We were then provided with tick~t8, 
which, at a small inclusive 
cost, would enable UA to "do "-as our American friends 
express it-the principal sights of the Island.

On reaching the bottom of the companion ladder, preparatory 
to going ashore, a heated controversy ensued between us and 
the Portuguese boatmen. We were fortunate in having been 
previously warned not to accept the profuse offers of any of 
these jibbering gentlemen, except on the condition that they 
should not be paid until we were within touch of our vessel on 
the retnrn trip from the E.hore. The reason for this may be 
more apparent if you will follow me a little farther. 

After much bargaining, and the exercise of no little diplomacy, 
ODr party was safely conveyed to the landing-quay. On reach~ 
iug the shore end of the quay, we fOllnd a large number of 
quaint little ox.chariots, as I will call them, waiting for us. 
These vehicles contn.in two soats, facing each other, upholstered 
in gorgeous colours, with numerous tassels of an equally bright 
hue, and having a square canopy o\-erhead, with curtains at 
either corner. Sleuge" runners" took the place of wheels, 
thus rendering' progress rather smoother than wheels would 
have done. 

Drawn by a yoke of oxen, we wended our way along the 
pebble.paved streetR-·aJl typically POl'tllgl1ese-~to 
the starting 
point of tbe mountain railway. This railw,'iy is constructed on 
tile l'ack 4nd pinion system; the train cOlJsists of an engine and 
OIle carriage, open at the sides. The line runs np the hill (or 
f'ather, Illoulltaill), to a. height of nearly :!.,Ot)O feet. 

If the scene which met nul' eye from the boat was good, tbis 
wn~ 
doubly so. The panorama presented to '..IS, what with the 
wide stretches of banana plalltat,ions, palms, and all kinds of 
tropical and semi.tropicftl vegetation, was superb. 

At fn'quent intervals in our progress np the line, neat little 
bnncllef:; of flowers were thrown into our can-iage by little olive~
elol1l'ed 
girls, in I'etUl'n for which, they, of course, expected 

Jopper. 

Aft.er a vet·y pleasant run, we reached our rendezvous, in the 
shape of a somewhat palatial hotel, where we partook of an 
excellent lunch, a.midst most congenial surroundings. 

Having explored the gl'oundtl, and enjoyed the lovely view to 
be fJbtained hom tllem, wo made ,our way to the lowest corner, 
to preparo for our downward jotll'ney. Here we found cfJnveyance,,-
if tlley may he su termed-of tile "j('dge variety, uot unlike 
a tolloggall in faet, l'aeh of tlll!\ll cllllstructctl to carry two 
pas.,:cllgVI'....

The road which wc were> to }11ll'SIIP was cohhlrd .-;imilar to the 
streets below. Eaeh of t11e:-;c to!>o;..:gall";, as I will call them, was 
attended by two men, and they haying giw·n us a sbll'ting push, 
and jumped on tlu~ 
rUllners pl'otruIlillg at the rc:~l', 
wc earcered at a 
good smart paee 11(}WllWanls. On l'caehill~ 
a cnrner in the path, 
we had vi~ions 
of sma~hcll 
skulls agaiu,=,t the wall before us, but 
wlu:'n within a few yards of thl~ 
bend, our gllir]c,; jumped of}' and 
gave us a !'hal'p pull in till' right direction; 1'01' thi.... purpose a rope 
is fixed on eitlwr sidt" behind the seat. The experience is exciting 
and exhilal'<lting in the extremf'. 

Having reached the bottom of the llill, we alig-hted, and made 
our way to the CatlH~lll'al. 
In ul'chiteutural lwalltict' it is, perhaps, 
lacking Oil the o\lbide, but the iuh'l'iol" Illakes up for all defi~ 
ciencies, more c:,pecially the decoration and appointments of the 
chaul'el. 

On our way from the Catlwdral we pa:-iscd the Opel"} House and 
Casino, both or Wlli"h an~ 
quite impo:,ing-structure...; for the size of 
the place, eac:h beitlg Sll1'l'Olltlllei1 with lovely g'l'olll1ds. 

'Ve then :,et 011' t.o view tlll~ 
minol' attractio1ls, alld aftcr ahout 
an hour pmployerl in thi1l way, we he,m} two hla4s ft'om our sldp's 
syren, which was the :<igllal fur us to get aboard. 

We were, luckily, not f:~r 
dIstant from th!' quay at the time, or I

To pick him uut of Sll~lJ

After waiting and Leillg llUstlcd about for somc time, our man

H.

ucscription of the Eal'tlll_J'Jake which occurred at Valparaiso 
in 1006. 'Ye give it in his own \Von.1s:-
T
T
HE Earthquake happaned, as you may have already heard, on 
the 16th of Octobel', lOOG, at 7Jj;j p.Hl., as we were just 

turning' in, amI the first sign \Vc hau of it was a violent 
trembling of' the ship. Imlcec1, we might have been running ashore 
on a coral reef, the sensation being vcry similar. Of course we all 
rushed out on deck to see what the row was, amI the sights and 
sounds that wc saw and heard were enough to strike terror into the 
stoutest heart. Buildings were tottering awl falling, womeD and 
children shrieking, MrCi' breaking out hel'e and there, and cQuntle"ls 
other sights and sOlillds came from the doomed city. All the ships 
were in commotion, swingillg out lifelloiits amI provisioning them, 
stcamcrs getting up steam, men-of-war throwing' their seal'chlights 
hither anJ thitber to complde the weirdness o(thc spectacle. 

Thc first sbock lasted about threc minutei', but at 8.15 we had a 
mllch i'tronger on(~. 
By this tinw Valparaiw wa." one maRS of 
Ilamcil, but that was not the only tIJing-the bay in some plc.ces 
was likc it whirlpool, tile :>hips wcre dragging their anchor::: in a

There was onc poor fellow, who !:;ul bken two tin..:; of condensed

(I suppo."c fol' his wife and

hustlell off to one of the ldazas, a priest at hi..,; heel:; to see if he had

who made a speech to th(' oll-lookers, :lIld thell :,ltot the salllC a~

passing along it. 

As for the lIninjlll'cll people, tlU'y Wl'l'C either accommodateu. in

The British Consul lost his two tlaugbters, aged 13 antI 17 
respectively, allll had his own leg' broken into the bargain. 

There were mallY other thing-,; wbieh happen~d, 
tno dreadful to

them. Not a safe lmilllillg' remaills ill tlie city, and the Naval

until three "tl'amers, ehal'teretl by the Chilian Govcl'Ilment, arrived 
with provisions I'l'lllll the nearer ports. Heally, if it hall not been 
for the ships in thc harbour, eVl'ryonc would have starved. 

In fact, to \,;um thing-,; up, it may lw ,;aill that VaJparaiso is 
completely razed to tbe gruund, amI its people destitute and 
homeless. 

We finally left the hCllightcd plaee on the 21st of August, 190G, 
and, after a passage of 10 days, arrived here, thankful that we 
were safe and the vessel intact.

A poll was taken last term on the quesHon of whether 
Football or Hockey should be the game aftflr Christmas, and ae 
a large majority voted in favour of Footba.ll, it ha.s been decided 


to play no Hockey. We hope to be able to arr&nge a few 
matches during February, including the one against the Old 
Boys, reluctantly abandoned last term owing to bad weather. 
At half term, scratch sixes will be played; o..nd during the lo..st 
month boys will practice for the Athletic ~ports. 
Wo take tbis 
opportunity of expressing a hope that buys will take as much 
interest in the different running and jumping competitions as 
they do in their games of football. 

We have to offer our sincere thanks to the Governors of the 
School for so kindly providing UH v;ith such a good changing 
room for our games. The room is a grent success, and is an 
inva.luable adjunct to our School Buildings. The best way of 
showing our gratitude is to use it well, and now that damp 
changes are a thing of the past, we trust that every boy in the 
school who is physically capable of playing games, will provide 
himself with a cha.nge, s.nd take part in our tlport whenever the 
opportunity occurs. 

GAMES FUND. 

Dr. Platt has very kindly presented us with a magnificent 
boree roller, weighing a ton when empty, and about twonty-five 
cwt. when filled with water. On behalf of all connected with 
the School, we be/! to tender him our heartfelt thn.::lks for hiR 
splendid gift. It will be an -inestimable booll to us, and has 
already made a very satisfactory impression on Olll' playinq 
:field. We have also to thank Mr. Henry 'fovey (£:J) and Mr. 

W. W. Robinson (£1) for tLeir very kind donations to our 
Games Fund. We feel we are extromely lucky to have so many 
kind friends at our back. 
LIBRAllY 

The library books have been thoroughly ovorhauled j a large 
number have been rebound. and a few were found to be beyond 
the binder's skill. The books are now properly numherod, and 
kept in a cupboard with glass front, so that boys CCln see what 
books the Library possesses. We give below a list of books 
kindly presented by Old Boys and friends of the School, and our 
only regret is that more Old Hoys who have recently left are 
not inoluded in thu list. Apart from tbe value of a gift to the 
Library, it is surely a nice idea for boys to leave behind them a 
lega.cy, however humble, for their School. If each boy as he 
leaves will make a point of doing this, we shall soon have 
a ~ibrary 
worthy of the School. If any Old Boy has a difficulty 
in finding a suitable book, we shall be happy to ndviRB him, and 
should a reader of this paragrallh at any time come across 60me 


second-hand books he does not want, we shall be delighted to 
have them. All gifts will be gratefully acknowledged in the 
next number of the "SRA8TONIAN."

EN'fERTAINMENTS. 

We gave three very sQccessful entertainments last term, on 
October 16th, November 15th, andl>ecember 4th, in which tbe 
masters and a large number of boys took part. The main 
features of eacb was a delightful and instructive Magic Lantern 
display given by Mr. Ramshaw and Mr. Watmough, while Mr. 
Rich very kindly did the' talking.' The concert part of each 
programme was in the hands of Dr. Tovey, and in addition to 
himself and Mr. Ramshaw, the following boys tlJok part in one 
or more of them: L. J. Atkinson, A. J. Healing, R. H. Bound, 

F. H. Bowles, G. Cheater, E. W. Cuff, E..J. Firth, L. O. Jones, 
H. R. Robins, N. J. Tunnington and A. W. 'Watts. 
The sole object of these concerts is to provide a little amusement, 
combined with instruction, for boys during the long 
winter evenings, and to give them 8 little confidence. rro 
defray expenses a small cburge of twopence is made to boys 
(performers free) and IJ8ronts, and friendR are asked to pay 
sixpence. Lust term there was a pecuniary loss Oll these 
concerts owing to exceptional expenses incurred with the 


lantern, but we hope to wipe out the debt this term, nnd should 
there be a bahmce on the l'ighb side, it will be devoted to the 
Games Fund or Library. 

A detailed cl'itici.,m of our annual breaking-up entertainments 
will be found elsewhero. 

SCHOOL CAPS. 
A Dew School Cap was introdnced JaElt term, and we are glad 
to say that Parents seem to be as pleased with the change as 
we are. 
DRILL INSPECTION. 
Captain Kitehin, Adjuta.nt of the 1st V.B. Dorset Regiment, 
came and inspected our Drill on Thursday, December 5th. No 
official report has yet come to hand, hut in spite of the obvious 
disadvantage of having to drill under cover owing' to wet 
weather, he expressed himself, after the parade, as being very 
satisfied with all he saw. 
HOLIDAYS. 
The Mayor (Mr. J. NortQil) very kindly kept up an established 
cnstom, and asked for a wllOle holiday in honour of his 
election, and this waR given by Dr. Tovey on :Monday, Nov. 
18th. We regret to add that the day turned out to be a very 
wet one. 
The School will probably break up for the Easter Holidays on 
Tuesday, April 16th. 

Old Boys' News. 

PRYCE TATf.OR baR obtained a place in the Hockey Team at 
Nottingham University College, where he is studying engineering. 
We congratulate him, and wish him every 8UCCOOS. 

R. C. WITHERS is continuing his education in It"'rance, and 
has probably been showing the French boys what an old 
Sbastonian athlete can do. 
WE are glad B. EHLVEBS has quite recovered from his somewhat 
severe illness. 

R. CHABLTON is to be congratnlated on passing the examination 
for entrance to the National Provincial Bank. He has been 
appointed to the Portsen. Branch at Portsmouth. 
C. W. R. G.A.LVAYNE is going to study motor engineering. We 
hope he will soon make a. fortune. 
E. H01.UNS has succesl3fully passed his entrance examination 
for the Post Office, and has been appointed to orays, near 
GravesEma. 

Football. 

;t!;LTHOUGH from a match winning point of view we have 
,)" not bad a very successful ::>eaSOD, our football bas been 

thoroughly enjoyable, and everybody was sorry when the 
last match of tee term bad been played. In most caseR our 
·opponents were far heavier and faster than we were. Nearly 
all our big boys left at the end of the Summer, and we had to 
'choose a very young and inexperienced team. Still, no team 
'Could have shewn greater keenness, and they improved very 
much BS the season advanced, 80 that in their last two matches, 
when ihey met players of their own age and weight, they played 
good football and gained two very creditable victories. Wewould 
be the last to grudge our opponents their easy victories; 
in many cases they were only reversing last season's result, and 
a team that cannot take a hiding ought never to be allowed to 
play any game. We look forward with every confidence to 
renewed struggles next season, and trust that, in 80me caSes at 
least, we may have our revenge. 

To turn to individual criticism, nobody will deny that our 
tbree best players were J. P. Jeans, E. \V. Cuff, and N. J. 
Tuunington; and each of them rendered yeoman service in bis 
different position. The most difficult place to fill proved to be 
that of goal keeper j L. F. Spinney and S. Burrow had trials 
given them, but, both were eventually passed over in favour of 

J. '1'. Hall, who proved much the most reliable of the three. 
()f the backs, rrannington was much the better, and played 
1'eally well throughout the season i Mozley started in promisingfashion, 
but fell off during the latter part of the term j a great 
many goals would have been saved if the two had combined 
better. Cuff was the Ahining light of the half backs; he is a. 
vory promising player, being fast and clever with his feet, and 
having that intuitive perception of what an opponent meaus to, 
do, found only in playerl:l of a good class. A. R. Tayler and 
H.. B. MiDchin both improved tremendously al:J the season 
advanced, the former being the more robust, and the latter the 
more skilful in his methods. 
The forwards were hardworking, and when not overweighted 
shewed very fair combination. Most of them wert:l slow starters 
and took too long over their passes) while there was a tendency 
to imagine tha.t when the ball was not at their feet their sole (!) 
duty consisted in waiting till it bappened to come to them! 
Jeans was mllch the best of the five, and his refreshing energy 
and uash had a very good effect on the rest of the line. G. W. 
Cheater combined well with Jeans, and did some very good 
things; and we venture to think that C. W. R. Galvayne is a 


much improverl player notwithstanding the rather froely 
expressed opinions of certain tunch line critics! Tbo l'ight 
wing was the weakest part of the team, but this was only 
natural as it waR composed of the two youngest boys playing. 

H. R. Robins, although a born footballer and about the best 
player in the School for his Rize, was too slow ana weak against 
his more lusty rivals, and E. J. Firth did not make quite tbe 
improvement we anticipated. 
In addition to those who gained their colours, L. F. Spinney, 

S. Burrow, W. J. Genge, W. H. B. Morgan, and W. D. Walker 
played in one or more of the matches. 
We cannot conclude this criticism of the term's football withant 
referring to what was its most pleasing feature, viz., the 
number of boys who played regularly in practice gamei. After 
all, the true test of a School's football lies not so much in the 
proficiency of its first eleven as in the number of boys who are 
willing and anxiouB to play as often as they possibly can, and 
who enjoy the game for the game's Aake.

DETAILS OF MATeRES. 

FIRST XI. 

8.G.8. v. Oounty School, BlandfimJ (Away), October 19th. 
Result: Lost, 0-15.-0ur First XI. opened the season with 
this match. Although most of our team were beginners as 
regards playing in matches, yet they acquitted themselves very 
creditably. Being on the small side, they were both over. 
weighted and ontpaced, but played pluckily throughout. 
8.G.S. v. Sexey'8 School, Bruton (Away), October 26th. 
Result: L08t, O-lO.-For this match, Spinney was tried in 
goal instead of Burrow, and Robins came into the forward line. 
A very pleasant game was played, and although Sexey's were 
too fast and heavy for us, yet every boy stuck to his work 
throughout the match in Bo very plucky manner. Jeaus and 
Cuff were the best players for the School. 
8.G.S. v. Fostet"s ScllOol, Sllerborne (Home), October 30th. 
Result: Lost, 1-18.-1i'oster's brought up a very strong team 
and began to score almost from t1e start, mainly through the 
agency of Webb (their centre), who played excellent football, 
and was far too fast for our backs. He was responsible for 
most of the goals, Our forwards were too light to make much 
impre8sion on the opposing backs. Our only goal was scored 
late in the second half by Firth as the result of a nice bit of 
combination by the School. Tunnington at right full-back got 
through on immense amount of goood work in the second half 
for the School. 
S,G.8. v. Gillingham Grammar School (Away), November 6th. 
Result: Lost, 2-1~.-A 
very strong and heavy team oppo~ed 
us, although Keast and Nobbs (Old Boys of 8.G.8.) decided not 
to turn out against their old school. The Gillingham fOL'wards 
were too fast for us, e5pecially Hooper, and although our backs 
-especially 'funnington and Cuff-all worked very hard, the 
score gradually mounted up. Spinney was weak in goal, and of 
the forwards, our left wing did practically nothing. Good work 
by Cheater (outflide right) enabled Robins and Galvayne to 
score for us. 

8.G.8. v. Oounty School, Blanilj'ord (Home), November 13th. 
Result: Lost, 0-13.-A f;omewhat weaker team opposed us for 
this match, but still they were too heavy and fast for our light 
team, and 8 goo.li> were scored in the first half. Cuff, 'running. 
ton, Jeans, and Galvayne, worked hard, but the rest were very 
weak. 

8 

8.G.S. v. Foster's School, She'rborne (Away), Novemhe~ 
2DtJi., 
Result: Lost, 0-9.-~"'or 
this match, Geuge was player} III the 
place of Robins in the forward line, and J. T. Hall superseded 
Spinney in goal. A much improved defence.was ShOWI~, 
and our 
opponents were only able to score 9 goals. TIlls was due III a great 
measure to good work in goal by Hall. 
8.G.S. tl. Sex8Y's School. Bruton (Home), November 23rd. 
Result: Lost, O--12.-For this match, Mm'gan was tric(: ill the 
place of Robins, in the forward line. As before, our oppon~nt8 
were too strong and speedy for us, and although CuU' and TUllmngton 
worked extremely hard to stem the rushes, yett being badly 
supported by the rest of the backs, they could ,not pr,event tl,le 
score mounting to 12 goals. Hall gave a good dISplay III goa.l In 
spite of the 6core. 
8.G.S. v. Milton Abbas 8chool, Blanqfora (Away), Nov. 27th. 
Result: Won,5-1.-As our Second XI. had proved too light, 
Milton Abbas challenged the First Xl. for the return match, in 
order to make a more evenly balanced game. Milton Ahbas 
started well, and were attacking for most of the first half, hut 
thanks to Tunnington and Minchin, who were defending well, they 
only managed to score once. On changing ('nds, however, the 
School woke up and played an exceedingly good game, our opponents 
at the same time falling off conRiderably. Minchin and 
Robins deserve mention for their excellent football. Mozley was 
very weak t.hroughout the whole match; Cheater did excellent 
work on the outside left. Goals were seored by Galvayne (2), 
Cheater) Jeans, and Robins. 
8.G.8. v. WimlbONl. Grammar 8chool (B1andford)', Dec. 7th. 
Result: Won) 4-0.-The teams met half waY-on the Milton 
Abbas Ground, kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. 0' Leary. As 
they werB about the same strength, a very even and interesting 
game was witnessed. For some time \'VimLorne pressed, but 
through bad shooting were unable to score. Presently our forwards 
began to apply the methods that Dr. Tovey has 80 well taught 
them, and by meaU8 of excellent combination, four goals were 
obtained. tbe scorers being Jeans, Cheater, Robins, and Galvayne. 
Robins was the pick of the forward line, although all worked well. 
The half~backs 
showed excellent judgment, while Walker, whoreplaced 
Tunningtou at back, the latter being ill) i300n proved himself 
to he the hest hack iD the field. Though this was hi, first 
match, his kicking and tackling were excellent. BaU gave an-. 
excellent display in goal. 

SECOND XI. 

8.G.S. v. Milton Abbas. Blandjora (Home), October 23rd. 
nesult: Lost, l-lO.-Milton Abbas elected to meet our 2nd XI. 
this se:1.'ion, and u:'> it wa~ 
the opening match on tbe Home grounu; 
great interc:-:t was evinced. The Milton Abbas boys ,....ere too 
heavy tor our small fello\\'s, and consequently the issue of the 
match was never in doubt. A very plucky game was witnt's::ed, 
and in the second half excitement ran vpry high at the determined 
efforts of our dimillutive left win,g-13ealing and Bowles-to 15core. 
Their exertiolls were at length rewarded, Bealing nettlOg the Lall. 
The whole side worked yery harJ., anu c~pecially 
noticeable was the 
tackling of Wa.tts at left half. 
S.G.S. Team: L. F. Spinney (goal); H. E. C. Brickell and J. 
W. Miles (backs) ; A. It 'l'ayler, 'V. J. Genge (C<lpt.), and A. VV. 
Watts (halves); R. H. Bouml and H. R. Robins (right wing), 
W. H. E. lHorgan (centre), A. J. Bealing and F. J. Bowles 
(left wing). 
CHARACTERS OF THE SCHOOL XI. 

('l'he numbers in brackets refer to thQ order of merit awarded on the 
whole term's display.) 

(10) 
J. T. HALL (Goal).-StaJ'ted the ,eason at half back, but 
was too slow for the position. l\1ade a very useful goalkeeper, 
has a safe pair of hands, allll with added experience should be 
quite gOOll. His kicking oft'is still very weak. 
(3) 
N. J. TUNNINGTON (Right Baek).-Played consistently well 
throughout the season. Is a good kick and a vigorous tackler 
with a sound knowledge of the game. Has Dot yet learned to 
head <J ball. His height and weight have made him invaluable 
to the team. 
(9) 
E. C. MO,LEY (Left Back).-Oo his day a very useful player, 
but at prcscll t i~ 
vcry unrehable. Tackles fairly well, but is 
too fond of missing his kick, and is apt to get easily discouraged 
if things don't go right. Will probably do much better 
another season. 
(5) 
A. R. TAYLER (Right Half).-An energetic and much 
improved player, who works untiringly from start to finish. 
Is a good tackler, and has plenty of pluck j but is ra.ther too 
slow and clumsy with his feet at present. Is rapidly learning 
the game, and should be very useful next season. 
(2) 
E. w. CUFJ~ 
(Centre Half).-A highly promising and enthusi. 
astie player. Is clever and resourceful, and ft'eds his forwards 
with excellent judgment. A splendid tackler, but is at prc."cnt 
rather too light for his position. A good ahot, but UlU::;t learn 
to shoot with either foot.

With added weight aI~J 
height will be quite gno(l. 

(8) 
E. J. FIRTH (Outside Hight).-A very i:cen player, but 
generally a little disappointing in In:l.tehcs. Is at pre,,;ent too 
fontl of trying to run round a baek faster than llimself. The 
youngest member of the team, awl so has plenty of time to 
improve. Very fair shot at goal. 
(11) 
H. R. ROBINS (Inside R;ght).-The "n,idget" of the team. 
Knows the game awl play:-; it, hut is at present too small. 
Wo look forward \vith cOllJ1!lcnce to the time when he will be 
invaluable to any Seboo} team.

Our best thauks are due to all WJIO took part in the programme, 
and especially to the three .Masters who so kindly organised and 
took part in the farce. Onl,\' those at the School know the amount 
of time they willingly devoted out of School hour,.:; to make the entertainment 
successful, and the re.~1l1t 
was commensurate with their 
deserts. 

Mr. 'V. \V. Robinsotl, an old friend of Dr. Tovey, was present 
at both performances, and has kindly written the following criticism 
of our humble efforts. We value very highly his kind remarks, 
and we also take this opportunity of thanking him for giving us 
the benefit of his long experience in matters theatrical, and for 
adding many of tllPse finishing touches which are so largely 
conducive to the succes~ 
of any enbertainment. May he again be 
with us next time we tread the boards ~

on hoth night" thl~ 
Vari()ll~ 
lllllllhers 
in the concert and the actiug in the farcl' of "\\'ho's \Vho" were 
well above the average of far hrg'er Sehools, :llJd lluite lirst cb":.'; for 
a school of the size' of ~bafte,:bllry. 
The ~la,.:tel's

As soon as the audience was :;eated, tllC light,; were lowercrl, and 
shortly after eight o'clock the i.'nrtain rose for the first item, 
" Hark! ''fis the Indian Drum." This is a. Jitlicult round, the 
time being mo~t 
catchy. :JIuell work l\;u1 evitlelltly beel! put into 
this by those who took }Jart ill it, alld Dr. 'foyey 111ll:,t have

in an intelligent way, ami ;.!al'e all artistic effect. A. J. 
Bealing, with a very happy slnile 011 his face, ]!lea.~ed 
e"ery OllC 
with Molloy's ,. Compleat Angler" (e":lll'cially so 011 tllC TUl'Srlay), 
and getting an cncore he gave" Awake, koys, Awake" (a IIalTuw 
School SOllg). Dr. Tovey captivated all with" lJe {)Je -Lmbl'ella," 
the '~ombination 
of humonr ani} ]J:l.thos lJeillg admirahly prllr!ll(·\>d, 
so that tears and laughter ["lch checkclI tlJ(~ 
uth(~r 
from g'ettill!; tllo 
upper hand, A hig (lemul\rl for all eneore Lruug-ht OUL allother 
clever song," The Polka and the Choir Bol'," which wa.--rendered 
with all Dr. 'rovey's dear arti('nlatiun awl ~expr(',:.~iol1. 
The quaint 
part song" Three Doughtie ;\1 en" went very \vdl indeed. It is 
a pretty bit of humoul' with an old ,varld smack ahout it. It got 
a well desbrved encore on the :-eeond llight, when I thnug-ht i.t one 
of the best numbers of the eOllet'!'t. The cllrtain was then dropped 
to allow l< Ten Little Choir Boys ., to arrang-e themselve;> for their 
action song. This went with a hang'; tile hu,.;inc,.;s had been well 
rehearsel!, and a vociferaui> encore 1Jl'ou~ht 
them on again to repeat 
the latter part. H. it Hobin~ 
appeared next in a rccitatioll, "The 
Eashful Man;" whether be was reallv nervoll.'l 01' notI do not 
know, but his pretence was so goOt} th,~t 
it might have been real, 
a~d 
he acted the timid youth \vho could not look a lady in the face 
WIth many clever po~cs,

searcely

alO1w." IJ, J. Atkin.,\on Rcorcu well witll a Srmerset ilialf'et sOIl2,'j 
he r~"el1eu 
in tile comic business taught him, and with an excelll'nt 
make up, he ~allg 
with pleuty of IJerve, getting a well deserved 
encore. Dr. and Mrs. 'rovey between them very kindly played all 
the accompaniments. 

After a few minutes interval to Ret the stage, the curtain went up 
for thc farce of "\Vho's 'Vho," dic;c'oYcring Matilda .Jane (G. 
Cheater) admiring herself in a looking glass. Bhe wore a loyely 
bat with a flower garden on it, and beneath it was ~ 
head of golden 
hail', a cream frock with cerise sa,,11, which made her very bewitch.. 
ing, and whether she sllook her' teaser' at the imaginary young 
man she meantto entangle, or :-igllCd over the" gent with the heye 
glass." she captivated her audience with her arch smile and 
coquettish manner. Her walk across the stage was Dot too 
graceful, but this was not to be expected from an ' outside left' at 
football, who gets more sprinting up the touch line than gliding 
across a stage like a girl! "'Vell played, Cheater," is my verdict. 
Cicel)' (J. G. JefIcry) was a modest little puss who could get angry 
at times, but whether coaxing her father, pitying her lover, or 
angrily flicking her duster at the valet, she looked charming in her 
neat halland dress, her apron and her black wig, although the last 
named got rumpled as the play progressed owing to the attentions 
of thtl audaciou,,:; valet; she wa::; aways a favourite with mu and 
an excellent foil to ;\1 atilda. Mr. \Vatmougb acted the part of the 
illiterate cockney valet admirably, the overdone' swell' was con~ 
sistallt throughout, and his surprise at being received as a guest 
and ac<.;epted suitor of the daughter of the home, as well as his 
bouncing manner of demanding his railway fare, where his language 
beeumes stl'Ollger, were eaeh depicted with plenty of variety; in 
addition, he had drcC'sed and made himself up to properly look the 
part, not an easy matter without overdoing it. Mr. Ram~haw, 
as 
the father of eicely, was quite a nice old gentleman, fussy, peppery 
and coaxing by tUl"n~; 
his bewilderment and his final mental 
cullapse in the armchair \vere all excellent phases of senile acting; 
his' make up , on the second night was even better than un tbe 
first,. 1 believe Mr. Rich has not appeared before in theatricals, so 
that all the more credit is due to him for the excellent rendering he 
gave of ~wanhopper. 
The character naturally leans one to think of 
the well known" Private Secretary," and :Mr. Rich modelled his 
Swanhopper on this. It was a capital piece of consistent satire all 
through. He affected a, bilious" greenery yellerj''' complexion, 
and whenever he sa.id "I'm getting red in the face, I know I am," 
he causetl a ripple of laughter j but when he put on the (luaint bat 
of the valet by mistake he capped all previous f;allies, and a 
wavy roar of laughter went through I the room. His make-up and 
dress were a fitting adjunct to hi~ 
performance, and I look forward 
with great interest to his next attempt. 


I cannot elo:;c this criticism without offering my hearty congratuh!
Jl)lls to all concerned, and t1J:mking them for t1e enjo,ymcnt it

is adopted, a forward has to beat TJoin backs 1eforc he cnn shool;7 
whereas, if the backs are in a liBC, he will proba.bly ;-;lip between 
them before either eall get at him, aml have only the goalkeeper to 
beat. Remember, too, that comLination in defence is almost U3 
important as in attack; it is a g-reat mistake to imagine that ouly 
the forwards lleeu combine. Lastly, never keep too jar behind your 
halves. If you (10, the forwards can first beat the hal",!;s and then 
take time to look roulHl antI see how they can best beat you. A 
forward must be tackled before he gets going; and to do this the 
back on the side of tIle ground whcle the ball is should be close 
behind his half, ready to intercept a pass or tackle the jllsiJe 
forward as the case may bc. Given a good goalkeeper, who has 
established a thorough undcrstauuing with his backs, and two backs 
who thoroughly understand each other anu play close up behio(l 
their halves, it is a very' difficult matter indeed for a forward to 
score goals. 

Half-backs must remember first of all that they are played for 
purposes of attack as well as defence. They are the hardest 
worked l,layer" in a team; they must be ready to help their b2.clrS 
when the opposing fOl'wards are pressing, and keep close behind 
their own forwards when thev oreak away. Oftener than not a 
forward movement startl" with a pass fr"om a half, and in making 
this pas~, 
the half must remember two things-(l) to always pass 
along the ground; (2) to pick the proper forward to pass to. The 
former poiut req\lire;;; no explanation, as anybody who has played 
footLall at all hnows how ditricult it is to control a bouncing ball. 
The half must judge for himself who is the proper perRon to pass 
to, but gcnemlly speaking, it will pay to feed the outside forwards 
while near your own go;d and in mill-field, and near your opponents' 
goal, one of the inside forw:l.rds should receive the pass, becau::.e the 
wing forwards are probably not in a position to shoot. Don't 
neee"saril'y think that the forward nearest to you is the one to pass 
to, be is proLal>ly t,he most market} ; the best openings are frequently 
made by a "cross" pass, either from left half to inside rig-ht, or 
from right half to inside left. Hemember that the opposing defenceis 
naturally inclined to work over to the side on which the ball is, 
and a pass in an opposite direction to that from which the ball hag 
come, will very often find a forward quite unmarked. ,"Vhen theball 
is not your side of the ground, have a look round and quietly 
make up your mind what you will probably do with it if it comesacross 
to you. The first duty of a wing half is to mark the outside 
forward, and he should not allow himself to be drawn to the inside 
man until the back is beaten, except possibly near goal, when a pass 
to the outside forwanl would be comparatiYely harmless. Centre 
half is the mOst important and most exacting position on the field, 
and no team can hope to ~lJilJe 
without a clever centre half. He 
must be quick-footed, cool-headed, prompt to seize an opportunity 


of making n.n opening, must talk to and advise lll8 fOl'wardR1 and 
be a g'ood shot at goal. He if! the pivot. on which the I'est of 
the team revolves. 

Most boy forwards know how to make a pass, but comparatively 
few know how to take one. When anyone forward has 
the ball, the other four should do their utmost to get into Ruch 
a position that they can be easily paf>sed to. It is not alwayi 
an easy matter to find this position, but if all the forwru'ds 
remember this, one at least, and probably two, will be able to 
escape the vigilance of the vpposing defence, and make the 
necessary opening. Again, never pass until you are about to be 
tackled, If the opposing half doe8 nut come at you, keep 
moving forward until he does; he is probably anxiolls not to 
leave t,he man he is marking, aDd hopes you will pass without 
being ma.de to. When he is about to tackle you, quietly slip 
the ball to the forward he has left. Always pass quickly and 
on the move. Remember that if you first stop the ball and then 
look round to see whom to pass to, yon have given the defence 
time to see that everybody is marked. When you (~aDnot 
find 
an nnmarked forward, then is the time to dribble yourRelf. 
" Whatever you do, do quickly," is an oxcellent football motto j 
it is difficult at fir8t, and you will make many mlstakes and bad 
passes, but, proficiency will come with plcnty of practice, and 
you will then have learnt one of tho great secrets of successful 
forward play. 

In conclusion, above all things play the game keenly, and 
never lose your temper; if you win, be modest about your 
success, and if you lose, be the first to congratulate your 
opponents on their victory. In a word, be a sportsman and Br 
gentleman, and then a. "vVaterloo" may yet be won 011 the 
playing fields of Shaftesbury.

our readers will find them most amusing :


'Tia strange how fashion changos, the things that we admire,

proud of their historic Ime, will be anxious to give us an account 
of l\'lonlliouth's landin~ 
t.here, but we are not at present interested 
in such ancient news, for we have much more up.to-dato information 
than that. Lyme He~is 
has started what many of the 
terrilil'd inhabitants helieve to be a Vesuvius of its own. Rumb. 
lings and mumhlillgs are heai'cl beneath the earth, and flames 
caRt ~L 
dull reflection on the thick clouds of smoke covering the 
brows of Black Venn and Hardown. Many of us have seen the 
spot between Lyme and Chal'Ulouth where a huge avalanche of 
eat,th decended upon fertile fields Home yea1'5 ago, and those who 
delight in prophesying evil, predict some m!lch more terriple 
disaster as the result of these wonderful phenomena. Geologists 
who visited the place, however, said it was not a real live volcano, 
but that the flames were due to the explosion of gases formed 
by the oxidisation of -iron pyrites, and there was no immediate 
cause for fear. Thoso who bear a grudge against the weather 
because they did not get enough skating, f'ay that 1111 thiR i~

of our readers, we shall have begun the Cricket Season. 

,"Ve hope to have a successful season DOW that our field 
presents such a trim and businesslike appearance, and we shall 
be glad to see at our matches any friends of the School who take 
an intal'est in Cricket. 'fhe seats which Mr. R. \V. Borley has 
kindly pre.':lented to us, \vill, we feel sure, add greatly to the 
comfort of our visitors. 

Our readers will be glad to know that Mr. TayIoI' is well, and 
continues to take the greatest interest in all forms of Rport. 
He scnds us some interesting information about, Old Shastonians. 
'Ve hope he will find time to pay Shaftesbul'Y a visit during the 
suromer. 

The articles which we hoped to receive from Old Boys and 
Present Boys not yet having come to hand, this is but a small 
number. May they tlJrU up in time for our next issue. 

We suggest that a series of articles On the following subjeots, 
by boys at preHent ill the school) would prove instructive and 
attractive:


(1) The Art of Painting (by" Cheakle.") 
(2) 'rhe Phonograph (by A.W.W. and E.J.F.) 
(3) How to Heeite (by H.R.R.)

Old Boys' News. 

I
I
N the report of the Secretary of the Loughborough TO'l'n 
Cricket Club, attention is drawn to the record of J. TayIol', 
who was second in the batting averages with 23'3, and \\:'ho 
easily took first prize for fielding, being specially mentioned Oil 
five occasions. 

While cycling in Lutterworth a few weeks ago, Mr. TayIar 
tells us he encountered an Old Boy whom many willl'ernernber 

F. H. HorsIey. It seems he is lLOW at the B.T.H. Electrical 
Engineering Works at gugby, whither he went ~fter 
leaving 
Adarns' Works at Bedford, where another Old Boy-Huglt 
Stowell-was also gaining a Jmo,," ledge of engineering. 
We are very sorry that B. Ehlvers has bad another severe 
illness. Lately he hus shown SOUle improvement, we are glad 
to say, and we hope he will continue to make good progress. 

R. H. Hiscock and G. J. Young have both chosen farming as 
an occupation, and it seems to agree with tbem remarkably 
wull. As will be lIoticed, tbey both presented handsome bool,::; 
to the Library, aud we hope tbey will always take au intere."t in 
tLe welfare of tbeit, old scLuol. 
We shou Id be glad to see more Old Boys at School functions, 
ill fact, whenever they come, we shall be very glad to seo 
them. 

Oswahl Plc(lger, who left the SdlOUl in 1898, and who is now 
with Wilt:.on, SNiS & Co., at St. Vincent, Cape Verde, shows a \"\..'l'y 
gratifying inten:l~t 
in hi::; Ol<.l tlchool, and sends a request 1'01' 
Magazines. 'We shall alwa'y~ 
be glad to hear fre'In him, amI wish 
him eycry success. 

:Mr. PrJC8 T. Taylol"s pre:'icnt ull(lre.';;s is Buttfield, Luttel'wnl't.h. 
We heur he ano ~hs. 
Pl'yel<l'aj"lOl' are now comfurtably settled in

Football. 

8.0.8. v. "Ola Shastonians."-This match, which ha'd heen 
postponed from the previous term, was pIa.yed on the Seho,)l 
Ground, on Wednesday, February 5th. The Schoul had tho 
assistance of Dr. 'rovey and Mr. Ramshaw. The" Old Sba~toulans 
II were, however, too f!~st 
for t,hem, and came out winnel's by 
10 goals to 3. H. Keast was their chief goal-gette,', scoring S, 
and was ahly backed up by S. Nobbs (1), F. H.uLter (1), aud J.

SCHATCH SIXI£S. 

,Vc wound up our Reilson far ID07·0S with n Six-a-Ride 
Competition, arranged on the folhwing line!': ~ix 
cuptains wel'e 
til'f.,t se1t:'cted, and then the Ilames of the next nix U{;st players 
were put into a hat and eaeh captain drew one. The remaining 
nanH'S were then put into the hat and drawn ill turn, This 
arrangement ensured f\omc ~ood 
oven games, and in Reveral 
cases" extra time 11 was IleCl:st>ury before a conclusive result 
was unived at. 

In the first round euIT bent Cheater after a good ,!lame, in 
which Cheater, thanks to a g'ood goal by Margan, led at halftime; 
in the secOlH1 half Cufi'·:-; team woko up allt1 Rem·cd three 
goals. A more EUl'pri:o;iJ').! result in thi" round W:If, the (lef('at 
of io.Iinchin by Jeans. The til'"t namet! had much tlle hetter uf 
the gaulP, nnd did everyt.hing except score. Jl'ans, on the oiber 
hand, ably hclped br Uall in gonl, played a f'plendid defensive 
game, and watching his opportunity ran through nnd scored in 
the closing stag-es. Alt1lUtl:;h prubably the bettl'I' team 10:;t., 
Jean:; thoronghly deserved hiR victory for his brilliant play and 
good generalship. 

In the semi-final round thoro was tl ding-dong struggle

of asking. as ncither .leaTls 1101' Tayllll· cOllld score a goal. The 
rc-play \vas unful"tunately spoilt by the inahility of Tay1cr t.o 
play o\\"in~ 
to indi::;positioll ; ::\1 ineilin W:lS allowed to take tho 
Llltcr't1 plac{', and after agnin playing extra timo ,Jeans scorod lL

had little difficulty in \vinuing easily. In tIJe fil'st half Cut]" H1ill 
Genge scorcd with good shots, and ill the second half Cuff addl·(l 
another. All the winners played creditably; 1'Iozley was \"CIT 
safe in goal, Bound surprised the critics by his display tLt h:l('k, 
and Hiddey shewed an astonishing turn of Bpeed for om~ 
;-;0 
young. Jeans was the shining light of his own team, althou~h 
Hall kept, goal woll, and Miles and Bealing worked hard. 

'fhe winning six was as follows: E. W. Cuff (Captain), E. C. 
Mozley, W. J. Geuge, H.. H. Bound, E. A. Brown and J, 
Riddey. 

The School Sports. 

T
T
HE Sports were held on 'Vednesday, April 8th, a departure 
from our usual custom of holding them in the Summer 
Term, and the results amply justified the change. '1'ho 
weather was magnificent, and we were" glad to see so largo a. 
number of spect,ators, especially since so many of them wertJ 
ladies, 

Coming as the Sports did after a football season, during which 
nearly every boy in the school had done his best to be as fit as 
possible, all those who took part were quite up to the mark. 
In all the events the competition was very keen, while in t!U] 
Open High Jump, N. J. 'l'unnington roused great enthusia~Dl 
by cleal'ing 4ft.. 10~ins., 
a higher jump than had been made fOl' 
many years, and in the Open Hurdle Haee his time was admiI'· 
able. W. D. Walker did remarkably well in the Flat IhceE;. 
and in the Hurdle Haec took Lis hurdles in gOtld style. He "as 
declared champion a.thlete with 4-1, marks, while Tunnington 
run him very close with 40; he would probably have been st-ill 
closer had he entered for more events. Jeans is a.lso deserving 
of special mention for his plucky running and jumping. 

Among the junior competitors, J. W. Miles and L. F. Spinney 
both did 80 well that it was difficult to choose between them. 
They tied with 40 markR each, but Miles was declared junior 
champion since he had seouI'ed four first prizes, while SpinDey 
had only three to his credit. E. J. Firth, the junior champioll 
of last year, was unfortunately put out of the running by an 
accident. J. l{iddey should also be mentioned as a cOlliing 
athlete, since he covered the 100 Yards course (under 12) in t.lla 
same time as J. W. Miles, the junior eharopion (13 4·5th secs.) 


(; 

A new featuro, and a most interesting ono in the sports t.his 
year, was fL ~toeplechase 
oyor a five-lllilo courl:ie. A llu'ge 
number turned out for t,his, and J~. 
'V. Cuil', N. J. 'l'uDnington, 
and J. P. Jeans made a very closo fini!>h, Eo \V. Cuff coming in 
first. Among the juniors wllo covered the Rame COUl'SO in vcry 
good time, J. 'V. Miles was first, closoly followed by L. J1~. 
~pinney 
and g. A. Brown. Brown's run was really excellent 
considering that he is one of the youngest boys in the school, 
and we shall expect great things from him in the fu ture. 

At t~e 
close of the sports, the Mayoress (~:Il'B. 
J. Korton) 
very kindly present.ed the prizcR. Dr. Tovey, in proposing a 
vote of thanks to the Mayoress, roma,rked t.hat we greatly 
appreciated the great interest ~yhich 
i\lr. find l\lrs. Xorton touk 
in the welfare of the School, and we [111 iJeartily agreed with 
him. Dr. i'ovey also expressed the thanks of tbe Scbool for the 
generous support given us by so many friendl:i in presenting 
prizes. 'Ve may remark that the prizes were such Ufi would 
prove useful as well as ornamenta.!, and we are looking forw<:1rd 
to some fine scores being' mude tl uring tbe Cricket Seas'on by the 
owners of bats won in the sports. 

Mrs. Tovey kindly provided tea for all those who honoured us 
with their presence, !lnd it was felt by everyone that the day 
bad been most enjoyable and the sports thoroughly gnccesflful. 
The Judges were Mr. \V. Hamflhaw and l\lr. F. L. Watmough. 
Mr. A. Hich acted as Hafel'ee, and Dr. Tovey as Timekeeper j 
while the Starter was Col.-Sergt. Milner.

Entertai n rnents. 

W
W
E gave two more popula.r Concerts last term, on Febrnur,V 
7th ar.d February 28th. Both were very successful, anu 
were largely attended by parents and friends of the Schoo1. 
The following boys took part in one or both: A. Bealing, F', J. 
Bowles, H. R. HoLins, R. H, Baker, A. Bartlett, V. G, Imber, F. 
Pickford, and L. Atkinson. 

Both concerts went with a swing from start to finish, and our 
hearty thanks aTe due to those Masters and Boys who helped to 
make them so successfuL 

Unfortunately, owing to expmses incurred with our Magic 
Lantern, there was a slight adverse balance on the season's takings, 
but we hope next winter to work this off, and, if possihle, have a 
small balance to haud over to the Games' Fund.

GAMES FUND. 

We have to thank the following gentlemen for their very 
kind l'ontributioDS to our Games Fund: l\f". If. 'rovey (£5), 
Mr. H. C. Forrester (£1), Mr. [1. IJ. 'ravey (IOfG). 

Owing' to very heavy expenses our Ga,rnes Fund is still in 
debt. During tbe year we have bought a hlJrse mowing 
machine, a hose and sprinkler, and scveral other cricket 
necessitieR. In addition, our puvilion hUR been freshly pain'ed, 
and our playing field improved in :-;e\'cral ways, which are 
apparent to all who see it. \Ve propose to try and wipe off 
this deficit by giving two Theatrical Entert.ainments in the 
Market Hall, on November 11th and 12th. The piece chosen 
for representation is "The l'antomime Hehearsal," a very 
amusing skit on the difficulties connected with amateur rehearsals-
difficulties with which every amateur actor is well 
acquainted. May we take this opportunity of asking our 
friends to rally round UR, and gi\'e us .. bumper" houses. \Ve, 
on our pal-t, will do our ntmost to give thorn a good evening's 
amusement, 

We bave also to thank :\11'. G. Imbel' foJ' very kindly allowing 
our fimal! boys to play football in his fidd Owing to 0\11' 
iucreased numbers, we cun now bave two full clubs, and bis 
generosity in permitting us to use his field is much appreciated 
by n. all.

Cricket. 

W
W
HATEVER may he sald about the merit.s or demerits of 
our 190~ 
Crieket Team, nobody will deny that the 
Benson was a t horough!y enjuyable one; the weat.her· WftA 
perfect, and the cricket keen and sporting. Everybody did his 
hel:;t to improve, and altholl~h 
we started with some rather raw 
material, we won several matches, and at the end of tbo term 
were quite up to the ll.T"erage of recent yearA. Our hest per· 
formance roas nndoubtedly our victory over Blandford Count.y 
~chool 
in the return match, as they had previously beaten UR 
jn a single innings in the first one. We must also mention the 
splendid game we had with Dr. Ensor's team in the conduding 
match of the season. 'They were too good for us, and beat us 
very ea!liiy i but they taught us a lot of cricket., and played 
l'Illch a genuinely Rporting game, tklt we hope the nllllch will 
never be allowed La drop. We offer Dr. EnROl' our very heRt 
thanks for britlging a team ngainRt us, and extend to him fl. 
hearty invitation to come again next summer. 

Howling-wag certainly the strong poiut of our cricket, ann 
in Taylar and Cuff we had two very useful School bowlerA. 
'fhe former nearly always took wicketA, a.nd did several fine 
performances j indeed, we do not remp.mber wh!.'n the ::-ichool 
has had a hetter slow bowler, a.nd if it had not heen for Homo 
riroppl'd catchel'l in the eal·lier m!ltchel'l, his figoreR would ha"6 
heen even better than they were. Cuff Duly found his form 
after Rome of 1.110 mlltcheR had been played j he kept a. goon 
length, and his pace formed an excellent foil to Tllyler·'A 
insidious leg~brealo.. 
Tonnington proved himgelf a very IHwful 
change bowler, a.nd often took a wicket ""hen it WI1A badly 
wantefi. 


The batting was the weakest }Joint of the team, and Borne 
of it was very poor. TUDDington and Minchin generally made 
a few runs, and Burrow, \Valker and Hobins did well enough 
to give promise of better things next year. Cheater was rather 
disappuinting, although he made a good score once when runs 
were badly wanted. The rHst of the team rarely made rnns 
because they could not be persuaded to play with a straight 
bat. 

The fielding and catching were, on the whole, very credit~ 
able, and both improved very much as the season advanced. 
This improvement was entirely due to the keenness of the team 
and the regularity with which they turned up for practice 
games. 

No mention of the School Cricket would be complete with. 
out a reference to the games played by the Lower Club. No 
boys could have shown greater ent.husiasm, and we have several 
very promising Yo!lng cricketers amongRt them who will prob~ 
abl)" gli.in their School colours in the near future. 

In conclusion, we must offer our hearty congratulations to 
Tunningt.on on the splendid way in which he handled his team 
and managed his bowling. Nobodj could have done better, 
and he has the satisfaction of knowing that the admirable 
example of keenness he set, both on and off the field, was copied 
by the whole of the team.

captaill. 
G. 
W. CHEATER. Has not made the runs he W:lS worth; should

field, and a fail' change bowlel',

at ~herborne, 
011 Wednesday. May 20th, which was earlier 
than usual, and consequently not so distressingly hot for the 
cnmpetiton~. 
An additional attraction this 'yeaI' wa~ 
a magnificent 
silver 8hield, ol)taillcJ as a J·es.ult of the untiring energy of the Hon. 
Secretary, Mr. W, Greellhall:h. Five schools competed for the

somewhat

. We relied un the following uthletl.'~: 
W. D. Walker, X .•1. 
Tunnington, J. P. Jeans, E. W. Cuff. 

Our l,est eV~llt 
was the High Jump. Tunnington clearing 
4 feet 10 inches in splendid I'ty le, !lnd I'ecul'ing first place. The 
,,:llIlC competitor also secured second place in the Long Jump, 
clearing 16 fl;ct 9-} inchcs. Tunningtoll was also first in his heat 
in the Hurdles, but unplaced in the fha1. \Valkcl' also secured 
first place in hiB heat in the Hurdles, allll ubtaillC(l :-;(-cond place in 
the final. 

As regards the Hurdles, we were sOlllewhat handicapprd, aB 
they w;:rc below tlll~ 
regulatiun height, and both Tunnil1gton and 
Walkcr had practised over full .sized hurdle:.; Iltnee they exhibited 
a tendency to over-jump at each" flight," with a consequent loss 
of ground. 

]n conclusion, we :;houl<1 like to extend our hearty cOllgratllla~

Football.

UH football ,"cconi for 1908 is much supe,"ior to thatU of last season. Of nine School matches played \Yc 

have won five and lost fOUl", and we have had thL' 

satisfaction of beating every school once \\"ith the 
exception of Sexev's School. B,"uton. Ten old colours 
remained and the"e was a keen competition for the odd 
place: eventually it was decided to give tweh'e coloul"s. 
The only really bad feature of the team was its weal.;: 
shooting. Time after time .• sitters" were missed, SOllll.:-' 
of them the simplest shots imaginable. \Vhy is it that ~l 
School team can so !"::U"e!:y shoot well? They get mOt"1.:-' 
regular practice than any othe!" team, and yet neady every 
school utte,'s an annual wail in its magazine about the 
poorness of the shooting! \Ve think it is largely due tn 
this ,"ery practice which boys get so much of, practice 
whil;h might he invaluable if rl"opel'1y llsed. but which. 
instead, has been ,"edllced to an abslIniity. \Vatch a 
1l11lllbe," of boys shooting at goal 011 any school football 
ground. The hall comes to a hoy. he nrst stops it and 


puts it quidly in front of his I'ight foot, then he wall,s 
back tht'l:c 01' fOUl' yants to have a good fun at it, anu 
lastly shoots, prubably about fin~ 
yards from goal! Boys 
will not realise that all this sort of thing is impossihle in a 
game when haclis and halves are opposing them, and they 
thereby reduce the most essential pal't of the game to ~I 
farce. If shooting practice is to be of any \'alue whate\·er. 
a hoy must leai'll to tal.;e a ball as it comes to him, and try 
to shoot with either foot and in (/11." positioN, The team 
that will do this will astonish even themselves Il\' the 
numbel' of goals they will SCOIT in matches. \\'e~ 
h:we 
fdt it necessal'y to mal,c thcs~

either of th~m; 
innumerable opportunities went begging, 
and of th~ 
eight goals scored f01' us in the three games, 
no boy forward scored one, Dr. 'fovey accounting fOI' 
seven. and Cuff f01' the other. 

A \Try pleasing featUl"e of the season was that we had 
two '; undt:!' 14" matches with Gillingham Grammar 
School. and we sincerely hope they will become" hardy 
annuals" at crid;et and football. The \'esults of these 
games wel'e little short of extraonlillal'y, as we were 
beaten by no less than I-t goals in the fi,"st match at 
Gillingham. and yet managed to win the I'eturn game a 
month latel', against practically the same team, by 3 goals 
to nil. Our team suffel'ed fn>m stage fright in theil' fil"st 
match and fell to pieces, whilst their opponents played 
very good football; in the \'etuI'n match, thanks to a 
month's hard Iwactice and the incessant cheering of the 
first eleven, they played well to ,\ man and never looked 
lil.;e losing. A. l\liles, H. G, Bloom, A. \V. \\,'atts and 

H. T. Hall. are pedlaps the fOll!' 1110st promising players 
in this team. and we shall follow theil' future football 
career \\'ith great intcl'est.

Although DUI' opponents were much heaviel', yet fOl' some

play, towants the end of the tin;t half, our defence brolie 
down very badly, and Donhead secured -t goals. Although

seemed to be able to do anything right. Cuff was quite 
off his usual game. Tunnington showed occasional flashes 
of good defence. Of the forwards, Cheater \vas 
,. shadowed " very carefully and could never get away. 
J\lOl'gall made a good I'un down the wing, and his centre 
resulted in Jeans sco\"ing OW" only goal. 

School t'. Hlandford County School, October 31 st

forwards we,oc SOOll h:sting the goal-1<eepe,', who played Cl 
plucl,y game. Jeans opened the score, and Cuff soon 
added a second. The Blandfonl forwards now tried very" 
hard to score, but Tunningtol1 and Minchin were quite 
safe. In the second half the School forwards showed 
some excellent combination and added 7 more goals. 
Goals wel'e sCOl'ed by Jeans (3), Cuff (3), Robins (1),

and the SCOl'e early in the second half stood 3-1, when 
Cheater, by a good I'un, scored OUI' second point. 
Strenuous effol'ts \\·e,'e made to equalize, but the game

(Away). 01L 7-./.--This match was chiefly remarkable 
for the excellent wod< of oUl'left wing, Jeans and Cheater; 
in fact it was quite Jeans' match. The i"esult of his "dash" 
was that Cuff, \Velnull1, Robins and Cheater all sco,'ed in 
the first half. In the second half play became very 
strenuous, and at times somewhat vigorous, with the 
result that \Vimborne secUl'ed 4 goats, and we obtained 
three more, through Jeans, Cuff :Oll1d Morgan. Early ill 
the second half Cheater was knocked out and did nothing 
afterwal'ds, while the bad,s, and especially \Valker, bi"oke 
down badly, and i\lozley, in goal, failed to stop some vel')' 
"soft" shots. The fOl'wants all sCOl'ed once each and 
played well throughollt, with the exception of Robins, who 
was only \Try model'ate.

L;R Annual Christmas Entert~linment 
took place onU \Vedne.sdaY,~lnd 
Thul'sday evenings, l?e~emb~,' 
16th 

and 17th. I he p,'ogramme was on s,mllal' ll11es to 

that of last yeal', the first half being vocal and the 
second dramatic. The "00111 was packed both evenings 
with a ve,'y appreciative audience, and nearly evel'y item 
was encored. 

The Concert programme opened with a daintily-sung 
glee. and then fol1owed two sho,·t songs by A. J. Bealing. 
80th were vel')' nicely sung, the simple motive of the 
second contnlsting pleasantly with the mOl"e serious 
motive of the nl·st. Bealing has I'endered yeoman se"vice

at all OUI' cOlleens since he came to the school. and We 
<l,"e SOI'I'Y to think that in the natul'al onfel' of things his 
voice must very soon bl·cak. The next item was quite an 
original one, consisting, as it did. of a song \\TittCll by 
1\11'. \Vatmough and composed hy Dr. Tove)'. Although a 
t1·ifle too long, it was a gl'cat success, and was vociferously 
encored; we trust it will not be long before ,\1". \Vat· 
l110ugh and Dr. Tovey are induced to tf')' again. An 
action song by seven hoys was splendidly rendered, and 
gave evidence of a lot of cat'efu! t,'aining. \Vhere all Wcn:

:\11'. \\'atmough gave us a very clever chal~actel' 
sketch 
of a fussy deaf old gentleman. his make-up and facial 
expression were alike excellent, and he once more showed 
us what a resourceful actol" he is. Mr. Ramshaw, as the 
artist masquerading as a bandit, ga\'c us some delightful 
fooling. his st<lge strut and mock heroics were very c1eVC1" 
hits of \\'ode .\1,", Hieh made ,l vel"y lla.turaL if somewhat 
scheming, !m'er: he had the longest P,U"t to play, but got 
a lot of fUll out of it, and his enunciation was particularly 
good. \\'. D. \\'all..:el·, a romantic young lady, had (for a 
boy) a n:ry difficult pal"t to play, and played it well; he 
certainly added to his !"cputation and proved conclusively 
that with more experience he will be a very good amatew' 
actor. G. \Y. Cheate,", gorgeously a,"rayed as the 
proprietress of a Sicilian Inn, pl"O\'ed once mo,"e what a 
gO(ll\ .. character" actor he is, his lwoken accent, his 
boi~tel'ous 
laugh. his piainti\'e sobbing, were all equally 
good, and th',: easy way in which he handled a dagge," 
made olle shrewdly suspect that he must at some time or 
other lu\"e been concerned in a Sicilian Vendetta.

Few :\lusical-Comedies contain SllCh subtle humoue 
and variety of situation as Cecil Clay's melTY picture of 
Aristocratic Amateurs in their attempt, under some difficulties, 
to ,'ehe,u'se Lt Baerister friend's version of "The 
Babes in the \Vood" as a Chl,istmas Pan"tomime, and 
surely poor Jack Deedes, that "Barrister-at-Law and 
gifted Authol"," neve,' held a "brief" that pt'esented more 
difficulties nOl', let us hope, a case---so shortly to go before 
the .Jury of a Christmas house party-that stood so little 
chance of a successful tel"ll1ination ! 

\\'e do not know what actually did happen" on the 
night "---we dare not even think-but our cOl'dial sympathy 
is extended to Deedes, who must have perceptibly aged 
dUI'iag that festive Christmas.-So much for prospection. 

The part of that much-hal'assed Jack Deedes was 
most admirably sustained by Dr. Tovey, and" sustained" 
indeed it \\"as, for he must at times have looked with a 
little envy upon the l1ume,'ous .' exits" of his co-players, 
which meant for them a fe\\' moments' rest, while he himsl'if. 
but for one ve,'y short and single instance, was 
continuously" batting ;" it was a long innings, However, 
he had th..: satisfaction of " scoring" all the time, and---if 
the continuance of the metaphOl' be pennitted--he 
cCl"tainly .. hit a six'-with his song. "\Vhat a very g"eat

"hit" of the eyening. containing as it did some ext"emely 
CicH::r topical verses. \\Titten. it is said, by .Mr. \Vatmough. 
l\iluding to the suffragettes, the local baths, and the 
somewhat ullsatisfactOl-y acoustic p,'ope,·ties of the hall in 
which the performance took place, His hU1110lll'OUS and 
pathetic asides, his ef!'o!"ts :\t instilling the correct characteri7.
ing and interpretation of the diffe"ent parts of his 
play into the languid and unfertile lwains of his cast, we,-e 
intensely amusing, though can'ring at times the sympathies 
of the audience when disappointment drove him to 
the verge of despail', He opened the piece with a song. 
and fnH11 then onwan.\s eyerything went with a swing and 
a gl'cat deal of enthusiasm, and the excellent support h~ 
received from the n~st 
of the company must have considerably 
lightened the. stt'ain that his pal·t entailed, 

Si,· Chades Grandison, the would-be actoI' for his 
fl'iend's sake-gntdgingly taking chaege of the scenic 
effects, was delightfully played by Mr. Ramshaw. who

with the en'ing lime-light appal'atlls. which was so much a 
thing of dangel" in his inexIKl't hands (sic.) He sCOI"ed a 
distinct success with his two songs, the one dealing with 
the militant suffragette, the other an impassioned render· 
ing of " Blue Bell " in the face of many obstacles, with a 
footman as his accompanist at the piano, and the Hon. 
Rose Russell-Portman as the object of his apparently 
distl"essing "farewells,"

of by-play he was extn~mely

tol\cns of appreciation that the audience showed him. 

The Hon. L,ily Eatol1-Belgt'avc-one of the" Babes ,. 

-W~tS 
quite delightfully undertaken by H. R. Robins, who 
looked wel1 in .. Pink." His monologue over an old boot 
was gIven with chal'millgly sympathetic feeling and 
distinctness. The other victim of the wicked uncles, 
namely. the Hon. Violet Eaton-Belgrave, was pedormed 
with a delicious na"ivcte by A. J. Healing, who well merited 
the applause given him for his song" Dairy Mary," and 
the llumbet" of times he and his chorus were re-called 
testiHed to the appl'cciatioll shown by the audience of the 
picturesque and I"ura} t"lhleaux and general rendering of 
that numhel'. Following upon a duet by those Babes, 
n;'ll11cd .. I)oddle-oddle-cham-chim "-whatever that mav 
mean--was a hUmOUI"Ously touching reheat'sal of theC!' 
demise. both showing a keen und.erstanding of the 
.. situation:' and making all that was possible to be made 
out of it---and that was a good deal. 

F. H. Bowles, as the Hon, Rose Russell-Po,'tman, 
completed the "lady" portion of the caste. Though not a 
tu-ge P~U"t 
it presented difficulties that the others did not, 
for it is \,:1211 known that more dramatic genius is n:~quired 
when on the stage saying nothing, than when speaking 
lines. DUl"ing the singing of !vll" Ramshaw's song" she" 
was the silent p':lrtner, and" her" actions and. faci..d 
expressions were cle\'erly conceived: in fact "she" 
acquitted ., herself" thnwgllOut with great success. 
In the Hadequinade which followed, as custom 
usually pl'escl'ibes at all Christmas Pantomimes. the fun 
was hst and furious. Thel'e we"c there the timehOllow'ed 
Clown, Pantaloon, Policeman, Butche,' with the 
inevitable string of sausages. Columbine, Mother and 
Baby, who, by-the-by, was appatently being" btought up" 
on .. Burgundy!" AI1 had five minutes happy sc,'amble, 
tenninated by the call to suppe,', in Tompkins' stento,'ian 
tones, and if the "meal" to which they adjourned ptoved 
as delightful as the "fate" with which they pl'ovided us 
in the "llldience, thei,' satisfaction must have been compkte, 
fOl' indeed the whole perfonnance went with a "go" 
that was 1110st pleasing, m<.\tked as it was by an almost 
entire absence of what is called" amateut' hesitation:' 
l'd1ecting the greatest cred.it on alJ concel"1f:d. and

many lllOl'C undertakings by him he,"e in Shaftesblll"y is 
our sincere hope, fOl" eve'"y pa,"t showed the most careful 
training, and lmowledge of theatrical technique. 

Neither can this small appl"eciation be concluded 
without a few words of praise for those whu designed and 
assisted in the designing, making and painting of the 
scenery, indeed, as in the performance of the play, nothing 
appal'ently was of too small a detail to be unworthy of 
much thought and <ll'tistic execution. 

On hoth nights everyone present seemed to thol"oughly 
enjoy the entire entel"tainment. and truly nothing could 
have exceeded the pleasw"e it gan~,

Editorial. 

E can look back upon the events of the past Term 

with sLltisfaction. Good worl.; has been done in 

School and on the Football gnwnd, and we have 

every l'eason to believe that our Entertainments 
ha\'e affOl'ded pleasure and amusement to a lal'ge nUmhel" 
of our friends. to whom we tendel' our best thanks for the 
manner in which they have supported us. 

W!J 

The fact that the Governors of the School have been 
obliged to supply additional accommodation for the 
increasing numbet' of hoal'ders is a sign of prosperity, and 
we hope still more accolllmodation will be needed in the 
neat' flltul'e. 

\Ve are glad it has now becollle quite the established 
custom for boys leaving to present a bool< to the Library, 
which is no\\, in a flourishing condition.

\Ve ha\'e been info]"med of a g]"eat impl"(wement.

.May we call the attention of Old Shastonians to the

\Vill any Old Boys kindly help the Games Fund by becoming

the necessity of discontinuing this terminal record of nUl"

schools in Dorset publish a magazine, and we venture to 
hope that, on ,"eading this appeal. Old Shastonians will 
rally round and enable us to maintain the prestig~ 
attaching to a School Magazine by becoming subscribers. 
\\le only want 50 more subscribers to tlll"n ow' deficit into

SCRATCH SIXES. 


lif"rHE TII"st round in this annual competition was played 
on Feb. 17th and 18th, and resulted as follows:-

J. T. Hall beat H. Robins (1·0). 
Ho B. Minchin heat G. \\T. Cheater (:J.J). 
A. R. Taylcr beat J. P. Jeans (1-0, after a draw 1-1). 
E. C. !\lozlcy, a hye. 
The best game in this round waS between Taylc'" and 
Jeans, and it was only at the second attempt that Tayler 
won. Minchin beat Cheatel' 1110re easily than was 
expected, and Hall's team played pood)' against Hobins 
and his" midgets," and only just managed to scnullble 
home. 

The semi-final ,'ound, played 011 February 19th, 
resulted as follows:--
Tavlcr beat H:tll (~·l 
\. 
.\liilchin hC:lt .\lozlcy t;l-O). 

The fCLltUI'C of this round was undoubtedly the display of 
Hall's team against a much stronger six. After their 
form in the preyious nnllld they wen:' thought to ha\T no 
chance against Tayler, hut the captain and \\'clman hoth 
played splendid foothall and yery nearly effected a 
surpnse. l\lozley's six was Oilly a moderate one, ~Ind 
J\linchin had little difficulty in winning easily. 

Before the final could he played, llea,"ly thrTC \\"t..'el{s 
elapsed owing to frost and snow, hut as wc were enabled 
to have some splendid sl..:ating, no grTat disappointment 
was felt. Tayler won the toss, and rh\ying with the wind, 
did all the pressing fClI" the flr'st few minutes, but could 
not sew'e, Then Spinney hrol\l~ 
away and scored for 
Minchin, who thus led 1-0 at half-time, Playing with the 
wind, ;\linchin's team had little difficulty in maintaining 
and adding to theil' lead, and en:ntllally \\'on cotllfor,tahly 
b,Y 2 goals to O. For the winnlTs, their' sl\ippe,"' pl~lyed 
splendidly, and thor-ollghly descr'yed success: hc W~IS 
well 
supported hy \Vatts in go~d, 
and by his forwar'ds. who 
were mllch mO'T effectiye th,-Ill the opposing tr'io. 
Spinney was always dangerous, and H. H,dl and Hiddl'Y 
displayed yery promising form. T~lylcr' 
and \\'all\er \\'cJ'e 
a long way the pick of the IOSC1'S. hut were h:lndicarpl'd 


5 

by ineffective forwards, with the result that they had little 
chance of getting goals unless they ran through them~ 
selves, no easy matter with l\linchin in his best form. 

The names of the winning six were :-R. B. Minchin 
(captain), L. F. Spinney, A. W. Watts, J. Riddey, H. T. 
Hall, and P. W. Srichel!. 

Athletic Sports. 

@
@
UR School Sports this year were to have taken place 
on \Vednesday, l\larch 31st. This, however, proved 

to be a VC,"y wet day, and, consequently, arrange


ments were made for deciding the various events 
on the following J\londay. This turned out to be a very 
happy choice, for wc had a perfect day. 

A numhcl' of events had been previously decided. 
Of these the Steeplechase over six miles of rough country 
was well contested, L. F. Spinney eventually proving the 
winncl·. L. G. Prideaux, a boy of 11 years running 
excellently throughout, obtained first place in the" under 
14 .. contest. 

The l\lile (open) was a yet"y exciting event, being 
taken throughout at a hant pace, due to the excellent, 
though unexpected. running of V. F. Pike, who was just 
beaten by W. D. \\'al1,et' fOl' fit'st place. 

Throwing the Cricket Ball (open) was another well 
contested e\·ent. H. B. J\,·linchin, with a thl"oW of 83 yds. 
2 ft. just heating V. F. Pilie. 

\V. D. \Valket" again showed his superiority by 
winning the Hundred Yards, the High Jump, the Hurdles, 
the Quat'tet· Mile. the Half Mile, the Mile. and the Long 
,I ump. 

,1. Hiddev. aftet" an excellent tussle with E. J. Fit·th, 
secured the Junior Champinnship. 

The Handicaps -judging by the numbel' of enb·iespnn'ed 
,-crv popular. The 220 Yards was captured by 

G. \\'. Che;~tel" 
who ran extl'emely well. \V. H. B. j\lOl'gan 
ll1:d,illg a good second. 

The 
Half Mile Handicap fell to ,1. W. Miles, with H. 

E. C. Bricl;;cll second-a very well contested ,'ace. 
After the Consolation Haee::. had been decided the 
visitors adjoul"ned to the Lawn, whcl'c the pl'izes and the 
Intel'-School Shield were on vie\\'. 

The Prizes were given to the successful competitors 
by the .Mayoress, Mrs. Forrestel~. 
who was accompanied 
by the 1\IaYOI" 

Dr. Tovey, in thanking .:\1,"s. I-<~orrestcr 
for so Ii:indly 
consenting to give away the prizes, took the opportunity 
of thanliing all those fl'iends who had so generollsly and 
liberally contl'ibuted towards the Prize Fund. 

Mr. Forrestclo, replying for the Mayoress, expressed 
their delight at being present. and congratulated the boys 
on winning the magnificent Inter-School trophy that was 
on view. He was glad to see that :'\Jorth Dorset could 
still lead the way in Athletics. and hoped it would continue 
to do so in the future. 

AftlT cheers had been gin:n for the Mayor and 
.;\layoress, the visito]'s partook of tea.

1TH E D01'set County IIlter-School SPOl'ts were held

the TIrst time in alII' histOl'Y, we eme!"ged victorious 
and h!"ought home the handsome shield offel'ed 

annually fOl' competition hy the Headmasters of the 
v£ll,ious schools. Needless to say all Shastonians wel'e 
delighted with DUI' victo!")', and we offer our heal'ty 
congl'atulations and hest thanks to those boys who so 
sllccessfully repl'esented us. A special WOI'd of pl'aise is 
due to W. D. Wall<er-prohably the best athlete the 
School has evel' had-\vho competed in foul' events and 
won them all. 

OUI' success was all the I1lOl'e gl'atifying because it 
was well worked for; pantdoxical as the statement may 
sound. the shield was not won at Bi<:\IHHon.i, but at ShafteshLlry. 
hy a lot of h;:1I'd tl'aining, in which evel'y hoy did his 


utmost to get as tit as the Pl'oyt'I'bial fiddle. and it was 
this vel'Y fitness that probahly tut'lled the scale III our 
fanHlI". 

The first event was the Half-mile. which \\'ent to 
Gillingham, Y. F. Pike cl'editing us with lllarJ.. s for second 
place. \V. D. \VattH:r easily won the Hundred Yards fOl'

The times on the whole were good: the t"ac!, was a

we,'e run in the teeth of a stnmg bn:eze. The two jumps

GAi\IES FUND. 

\Ve have to tender OUl" heady thanks to the following 
gentlemen for their vel')' kind contributions to our Games' 
Fund ;-~~ll". 
E. G. Gibbs (10'-). M,·. J. W. Pearson (10/-),,I,'. H. G. Watts (10 /-), M,'. A. J. Wescott (10/-). 

\Ve are glad to say that, thanks to several kind 
donations and an increasing number of boys, the Games' 
Fund debt has considerably decn:~ased, 
and we hope to 
entirely wire it out hy means of two Theatrical performances 
we propose to give in the l'vlal"ket Hall, on Nov. 
10th and 11th. If wc J"eceive the same amount of support 
as we did last year we ought to manage to do so. 

SHOOTING. 

At the annual Shooting Competition held on the 
local Tel'l'itorial Range, the top scorer was E. W. Cuff, 
who accOl"dingly wins the shooting prize for 1909. 

HOLIDAYS. 

The School will pt'obably lweak lip for the Christmas 
Holidays on Satunlay, Decembel" 18th. 


Cricket.

Al(lNG everything into consideration the 1909 Cricl,et 
season must be wl'itten down as a Vt'Ty successful 
one. The weather, it is tnte, was cold and wet (we 
did not have a fast wicket on our own ground all 
the season!), but we managed to play most of OUI' matches, 
and only one School lowered our colours, and then only 
by four runs in a completed match. 

The batting was much better than it was last year, 
although a glance at the statistics will n':n~al 
nothing out 
of the (wdinary. \Velman. i\lillchin. \Valker and BUITOW 
were probably the pick, and all of them \Hndd have had 
much better tigul"eS in a dry season. Cheater also batted 
well at times. \Ve "'CI'C all delighted to see Dr. Tovey 
make his first century on the School ground, and Bob 
';\linchin, on the Yel"Y next day, fOl'cihly proved the tl'uth 
of the old adage that ,. example is bdter than precept," 
fOI" he also scw'ed a century fot' the 13o:trders. in theil' 
annual match against the Day-hoys. 

The bowling of Tayler and Cuff. in thL'ir I"espectivl' 
styles, was Yel'Y good, and quite the feature of the season; 
both have splendid ,'econ.is which \\"ill take :\ lot of heating. 
The only fault we hayc to find with them is that they 
were too good to make it necessal"y to giH' OUI' change 
bowlers sufficient expel·ience. Genge did \n:1I on the few 
occasions hl' howled, and \\·e quite expect \\'elman to get 
wickets next season, 

The gl'olll1d fielding was, on the whole. good, but the 
catching was very uncertain. and herein lay the team's 
chief \veakness, Burrow was a llotable exception and 
made some good country catchl:s. A special wont of 
praise must be given to Cheater for his wicket-keeping; 
although Tayler suffered hea\·ily from dropped catches, 
he profited lal'gel)' from Cheatel"s agility bdlind the sticks, 

A very pleasing featul"e of the season was the mal'l\ed 
improvement shown in the Cricl\d played by the Seco/ld 
Club; thei,' enthusiasm fOI" the game was unbounded, and 
in I-<', G. I\linchin and F. J. 13owles. they had two exct:lknt 
captains, who did e\'et'ything possible to il11pn)\'e the 
standard of play, From this club an under to! XI. was 
chosen to play two l11atchl:s with Salisbul"y Choristers' 
School. Both games pron:d Yel'Y enjoyable, and wcre 


5 

thoroughly well contested. Our opponents won both 
m':ltches, the last one almost entirely owing to the efforts 
of C. Pearcc, who made 44 '"uns, and then took all our ten 
wickets for 17 runs! Pearce is an exceptionally promising 
cricketer, and we confidently predict a great cricketing 
career for him if he can afford to give the necessary time 
to the game. 

The hest feature of the "under 14" XI. was their 
fielding, which was distinctly good; Bloom and Firth 
were the best bowlers, and probably Firth, Riddey and 
Hall, an:~ 
the most promising bats. 

In conclusion we must congratulate Cheater on his 
excellent captaincy; his management of the team was 
splendid, and his judgment rarely at fault. He has the 
satisfaction of knowing that his efforts were thoroughly 
appreciated by all who played with him.

CHAI~ACTloj-(S 
OF THE Xl. 

G. 
\\'. CHEATEH. (CajJtain ).--As Lt wicket keeper, has been 
the ;; TInd" of the sca~()l1. 
Is ver:y quick, as many a 
batsman can testify, and has dropped very few catches. 
1Il1pr{)n~d 
very much as a bat, but is of no use in a dull 
light. Has I1EH.le an excellent captain. 
E. \\", 
CCFF.--Has bowled well throughout the season, 
although the wickets have been too slow £01· him. A 
good field. Improved in batting in early part of season, 
hut fell off later. 
R. 
Ft .\11:\Till.'\.--Has more !'itl"ol,cs and style than any 
other hatsman in the team. Is a punishing bat, but 
rathel" a had starter. \Ve hope to see him make lots of 
runs on fast wickets next year. Very fair field. 
A. 
H. TAYLEH.-Has again pJ'oved his ability as a slow 
bmder. Disguises his fast one very clevedy. Suffered 
badly at times f"om dt'opped catches. Improved bat 
Llnd uncertain field. 
\V. D. 
\\'ALI\ER.--A much impt'oved bat. Has the best 
defence of allY boy in the team, but lacks scoring 
strol't:s. .:\lade several good catches at point. 

s. 
BCHlWW.'---.-\ sound bat, and is ,'apidly cultivating 
some scoring strokes of his own. Has made some 
good catches, but his gl'ound fielding is not quite clean. 
Can howl" lobs." 
E. 
C. MozLEv.-ImprO\·ed slightly as a bat, but did not 
ma\,e as many runs as we hoped for. Fair change 
howlcl' and improved field. 
\V. 
H. B. .:\101H;A:\,.--'-\ I,een Cl'ic1,etel' with a style of his 
own. Has the happy knack of making a few runs when 
they £lIT badly wanted. Improved field. 

L. 
L. \VELi\lAN.--A promising bat with plenty of scoring 
sb'ol.;es. Puts lots of powel' into his" shots." Has 
one vel'y weal{ one which is gl'adually disappearing. A 
very fait, bowle,' with a nice easy action.

CH()OL 
I'e-opened on .January 19th with a very 
satisfactory number present, but we noticed the~ 
absence of some who had been unlucky enough 

to he visited with the measles just before Christmas, 
and who evidently considered they deserved a few 
days extra holiday. \Ve wel'e exceedingly SOI"..Y that, 
owing to this unfortunate outbreak of measles, we were 
obliged to give lip OUl' usual Chl·istmas Entertainment 
and dis,appoint so many of Olll' friends, who kindly 
encourage LIS with their presence Oil such occasions. 

\\'e deeply ,"egret having to I'ecord the loss of two of 
our Covet'non:;, ;\1,', F. Powell and Mr, A. T, Carpenter, 
\yho passed away within a few months of each othel', 
Both of the deceased gentlemen were good friends to the 
School. and ever willing to do all that lay in their power 
for its advancement and prosperity. Their loss will be 
sincel"e!y mourned by their many fl"iends. 

The addition to the School pl"emises, which has been 
rendel"ed necessary by the incl"ease in the number of 
ho,-lI'del"s, will be pl"()ceeded with as soon as the weather 
permits. 

It will be gratifying to those who kindly pab"onised 
our Theatricals, held in the Market Hall, to know that a 
sum of just over five pounds was handed ovel" to the 
Games I-<\ll1d fnJm the pt'oceeds; this amount will go a 
long w,-'y towards paying off the existing deht,

Football. 

Jr
Jr
H E football season of 1909 may he app,"opl'iately 
divided into two pal'ts. During the first half of the 
te,'l11 the f01"111 was unsatisfactory, the forwards 
were ragged. and there was a lac!, of cohesion about 
the whole team. \Vc WCl'e easily beaten by Gillingham 
G.S. in the opening match, and later by Sexey's School, 
Brutoll, and could only just manage to beat Blandford 
School, who were not at fuU strength, by one goal. A 
rearrangement of the forward line, and the introduction 
of G. O. Gellge was then tried, and the value of the 
change was at once apparent. Bruton, who had beaten 
us by seven goals. ten days previollsly, could only manage 
to draw the !'etunl game afkt' a ding.dong struggle, and 
fro!ll then to the end of the term, we did not lose anothel' 
lll:ltch. The I'et~ll'n 
match with Bruton was a good 
exhibition of football, and quite the best game seen on the 
School gl'ounJ in ,'('cent yeaJ"s. The team played well to 
a man. ;\linchin, \Velman, .\lorgan and Jeans being 
plThaps the most prominent. \\'imbo1"lle and Blandfon.t 
Ill'xt proyided us \\"ith more yict(wies. Against the fOl"mer 
mc' again g;t\'e a good exhibition, hut the form she\\"n 
;l)_;;linst Blandford was nothing like as good as in the two 
!ll'n-ious games. The last match. against Gil1ingham, was 
a splendidly contested one. in spite of very bad weather. 
During the th'st half the for\\"al-ds were below form, but 
~d'ter 
ch.:tnge of ends the whole team played well. and in 
the concluding stagL's scored an equalising goal. 

Bu!"l'oW kept goal very well th"oughout the term: he 
\vas always safe and frequently brilliant. The backs, 
too. \\'en~~ 
excellent. .\lorgan imprm'ed in every game he 
played, and :\linchin Was the best player on the side. 
The halyes worked hard, and i\lozley, in the centre, did a 
lot of splendid defensiye work; the chief fault of all th,"ee 
wag a tendency to hick too hard instead of feeding thei,' 
forwants. The fOl"\\'an.is were a very level lot, Jeans and 
\Velman being the pick \Velman and Genge worked well 
together on the l'ight wing: the fm'mer was a great 
improvement on last yeaI', and Genge, although too small 
at pn~sent 
to do his share of h<-u~d 
work, proved himself 
invaluable to the team by his accurate passing and good 
shooting. He is the most p"omising youngstel' we ha\T 
had for a long time. ,leans, in the centre, got through ;l 
tt"emendous :1l110L1l1t of Itat'd \\"od\. and set his team a 


splendid example of pluck and pel'SeVenlllce. Probably 
his coming into the centre fr'om inside left had a great 
deal to do with the success of the team in its later 
matches; the forward game was no longel" confined to the 
left wing, and lleans' untiring energy frequently upset the 
equilib,'ium of the opposing defence, and gave the forwards 
on each side of him chances of sc(wing they did not have 
before. Spinney, on the left, was distinctly useful, but 
Robins was I'athe,' disappointing although he scol"cd 
several good goals, 

In concluding these few l'emal'!{s on the first cle\'en 
we must congl'atulate them on the splendid improvement 
they made, At the beginning of the season none of last 
year's defence l'emained except the goall,cepel'. but, 
thanks to !,eenness and enthusiasm. they developed into a 
team distinctl)' abm'e the an~r'age. 
They took thei," football 
seriously. each one was anxious to improve and tried 
his utmost to do so; there was none of that senseless 
.. foolel')''' around the goal rosts. and as a result the 
shooting was vel'y much better than it was in 1908. '1\1 
Jeans especially we owe a debt of gratitude: when things 
were going badly he ne\'CI' gan: up hope. and he set an 
example of turning up regulal"ly to practice games, which 
had a splendid effect on the whole school. Out of 70 boys 
neady 60 played regularly in practice games. May it 
always be so. 

A special word of praise is due to the' l'nder" 1-1' XI.. 
who pl<lyed thl'ee matches and won them all. These 
junior matches have pl"oved a gl'eat success, they have 
stimulated enthusiasm for" the game, and have given the 
most protl1iBing of the younger boys in the school a 
chance of gaining a little experience of match play. They 
wen: a much bettel' te,ll1l than last year, especially in 
attac!<, and Hall, Riddey, Bloom, Wright and W. Jelfery 
are five very promising players, 

The following boys played in one 01" 11100'e of the 
matches :-J. A. Tayler (goal); H. G. Bloom, W. J elfery 
(backs); H. A. Wright, J. E. f"irth, H. Jelfery, and C. F. 

A. Docker (halves); J. Riddey, G. O. Genge, H. T. Hall, 
F. E. Pickford, and F. C. Blucke (forwards).

DETAILS OF ,\IATCHES. 

School ·v. The Grammar School. Gillillj.flwm, October 
9th (Away). Lost, l-/I.-Gillingham had Ye,·y few 
changes from last year's team. An eyen game was 
witnessed, but the play was ragged on account of long 
grass and uneven ground. Gillingham SCOl"ed twice in 
the first half. Shortly after the re-stal·t \Vell1lan brnl,e 
away and centred, enabling Hohins to score with a good 
shot. Gillingham immediately replied with their third 
goal. and added a fourth just before time \'·;:IS callt:d. For 


School, Jeans and \Vdlllan were the best of the fonvan.i~. 
Mazlcy got through a good deal of hard work at centre~ 
lulL and A. ~liles 
made a creditable first appearance. R. 

B. :\linchin was good, and l\lorgan very fair at hack, while 
Burrow kept goal well. 
Sc1wol ", Coullty School, Blandford, Octobe.. 23..d 
(Home). 'l'on, 7-0.-This was the opening match of the 
Homc fixtures, and was played in very stormy weather. 
The fi,'st half was very even, and neither side scored. 
School passed \-el'y well and wOl'ked hard to score, W. J, 
Genge lost a good opening-the shot striking the upright. 
In the second half Hobins scored from a centre by Jeans. 
School pressed now to the end, and shot everywhet:e hut 
into goal. Spinney occasionally put in some good centres, 
and Jeans get through a lot of ha,'d wor1<. 

School t· Sexey's School, Hrlffoll, Octoher 29th (Away). 
Lo,';t. () -i.---This match was played on a Friday as the 
prc\-ious \Vednesday was very wet, In contrast, we 
pbyed in brilliant sllnshine. and a good game was 
witnessed. Olll' opponents were too heavy' and fast for 
ll~_ 
but all OUI' team worked wdl. In the first half Robins 
starved Spinney somewhat, and i\lorgan started somewhat 
shakily. hut gave an excellent display in the second 
h~lIf. 
,leans \yol'ked \'el-V hard thl'oughout, but was 
inclined to be selfish, with-the result that he was robbed 
too often. Robins and \V, J. Genge both had excellent 
challces of scol'ing. of which they did not avail thel11seh'e~,

Soon afterwards added a second f1'()l11 a good fonv<lnl

Genge sowed with a good shot. Play followed in 
mid-field for a time, but School soon attached ;lg~lil1.

from a long shot which the g()al-I\t:~erel' 
touched but could 
not save. Before half time, Jeans, after' a good individual 
run, scored. In the second half School played a very 
ragged game. the forwards and most of the b~lcl..s going all 
to pieces. Blandford on the other' hand played up much 
better, and few about thir'ty minutes pellned School in 
their own quarters, a goal being the ITsult of this

Salisbury also scored once by E. Pearce, and the game 
ended in OUI" favol11" by 4 goals to 1. All the School team 
played well, although the halves were rather I"agged:

The pn)h. has always to puss a vet·y stl'ict medical 
exam. befOl'e he can enter the school: a gl·eat im pOt"tance 
is attached to the condition of the teeth. All pl'obationers 
have to be vaccinated befOl"e they can join the schooL 

The period between the entnlllce exam. and the time 
the probationel' starts work nevel' exceeds ~H 
days. as 
new boys are admitted on the nrst of every 1110nth. The 
hours are 9.30 to 12.15, and 1 to 4 r.m.; Saturdays, 9.ao 
to 12.30. 

The first week's work is very monotonous: it consists 
of learning the Morse code, which is composed of dots 
and dashes; doing finger exercises, and learning to hold 
the" tappel's" in the correct position. It tal<es about a 
week to learn the Morse alphabet. and even then it is not 
perfectly !wown. The pI·ob. has to then sblrt translating 
from "slip." This "slip" is ahout half an inch wide: and 


I" 

the \\Titing appears in the form of vs. A v on the 
top of the paper corresponds to a dot and one on the 
bottom to a dash. 

At the end of t\yO months the p\'ohationer has his 
first exam.. but it is only an easy test. Aftel" this, exams. 
an: held at the end of evel'y month, but the four, six and 
tm:lvc month exams. are the only ones it is necessary to 
P:.1SS. If he passes the fOUl' monthly exams. he is put on 

the ,Junio!" Cil"Cuit: that is. sending to someone in another 
room. or n~cei\'ing 
from someone in anothet' room, fOl" 
lnlf th!! lby. Afk]" passing his six-monthly exam.. he 
dtll.'s this for" the \\'h()~e

The exam. at the end of the twel\'c 1110nths must be 
p:Issed hefore the probationer is transfelTed to Porth· 
ClIl"IW\\'. the Cn:s station in Conl\yall. \Vhen he gets 
there he commences I"eal work. POl"thCUl"llOW being the 
krminlls of the Undel"-Sea cables. The usual period fOi" a 
pn)hationel" in the training school is twelve months, but

he has to staY thirteen or fourteen months.

then.:' are several othel"s which the prohationel" 
kls to do at'te1" being there about a month: these are 
duties th~lt 
are only indirecth-connected with the 
tL'lcgl'aphic wod,: he l;;ls to go (;n one day each 1110nth 
into thc clc<ll'ing house to wind up the" slip," In the 
L'kal'ing house al1 the foreign slip is collected and the 
o,·jginal Illessage. ThL' slip is \'tTY accu1"atcly checked

staff l,nown as the t1·;\AiC accountants, and a perCL'llt:
tge of each clel'\':s CITors an:' made: if the percentage 
Is OH:']" the limit the c1L'I'k loses his promotion. The 
rwob;\tioIlCI"S task of winding up the paper may seem 
easy. but it is ycry tedious, although he gets longel" for 
his dinner whilst doing this, He has to be man-in-charge 
fOI" onc hour each day, and his duties then are seyel"al: 
he has to keep the '~gummel"s" 
supplied with gum, see 
th~lt 
thtTe is plenty of ink in all the machines, keep the 
auto machine fed with punched slip, and" punch up" 
lLQ·S. A.n n.g, is a message sent by the receiving de!"k 
to the sending clerk, the latter to repeat a word (or 
message) which he cannot undel'stand; and the man-incharge 
has to " punch" the wo!"d that is to be I"epeated: 
sometimes in one houI' he h::1S forty or fifty n.Q.'s to 
punch. 


,.\t the cnd of six months the brobatiot1er begins to 
earn his first money, which is .£2 pel' month, increasing 
by £1 ever'y six months. But when the prob. is sent to 
Porthcurnow the money is not paid to him, hut is credited 
to his mess account. 

The Company has prO\'ided a playing field at Hampstead, 
and each pn)b. has to pay a SUbSC1'iptio!l of £1 
whether he lIses it or-not. There ,He flve foothall teams.

to probationers in Cornwall until they han.:: been tlH.Tc 
one ye<u", 

After six months in Cornwall the proh. is taken into 
the Co.'s regulal' service. Promotion taIH::s place at the 
end of every year provided the wOl"k is sufficiently 
accurate and otherwise satisfactory. At the end of H-le 
yeal's in the Co.'s service, the pn>bationel' can come back 
and take up the engineering section. He is bound to do 
this before he can rise to the position 'of c1erl{,ill-charge 
and latel' on to superintendent. Out of the 18 months 
spent in COI'!lwall three of them ~\I'e 
passed in the 
engineering section. The Co. shift the probationers from 
station to station, the usual period of stay heing two or 
three years.

merited by a'so\:ereign \\'110 is the son of Edward VI (, 
and the gl'andson of Queen \'ictoria. 

The past Term has been somewhat unc\'cntful, and 
thel'e is little to record except the winning of the shield 
in the Illter'-School SpOI'ts, which \H: C:ltlllOt hut n:gard 
as a notable achievement, seeing that it is the second 
vear in succession that it has come to Shaftl'sbul·". \Ve 
heartily congratulate those \\'110 repl"esentt:d the School. 
at Shed')()rne, on this important occasion. 

The School SpOl·ts, which were pre,'iously held. WCl'e 
a decided success, more than one School ITCOI'd being 
beaten. \Ve should have liked to have seen more of our 
fl'iends present. but as we were obliged to hold the SPOl'ts 
on a '\londay, some, who would ha\\:' been glad to put in 
an appeanlllce, were Linable to be jwescnt. 

The building opel'ations are proceeding apace. and 
the new buildings will form a very useful additioll to the 
School. The domestic menage has. l11eat1\\'hile. been 
carried on undel' difficulties, and all will be delighted 
when the workmen have departed, and peace reigns once 
more. It is interesting to lmow that the stune which is 
being used is found in the neighboudHlod, much of it 
coming from Tishury and Melbury.

1'. Foster's School. Home. In the home match 
School star"ted the attaclc and a wcll judged pass Iw 
i\lozley to \\'elman enabled the IattCI" to effect a W)()~i 
centn~ 
fn)lll \yhich SC<lllllllell scored. This point was 
immediateh' followed In' a second from the f(lot of \\'. 
J. Genge. "after good -passing hehn.'cn J{obins and 
\Velm<.ln. Foster's no\\, asserted thclllselH's, and after 
forcing a corner, secured their nl'st g()~d. 
School's 
third goal was secured by J{ohills. ~lfter 
all excellent 
opening had been madc by SClllll1lell. and th~ 
S:ltllC 
agency enabled Hobins to Sl:cure ;\ fourth n:ry soon 
afterwards. ,lust bdore half time a g(lod centre by 
\Velman I'csulted in Genge forcing the ball through the 
gnalkeerel"s h:'lntb, On the re-stal·t the Sclwol SCOI'C 
was augmented by Genge, Foster's School no\\, 
attad;ed more vigorously, and a strong fOl'\Llrd l'ush 
resulted in their securing a second go;d. Frolll a g(}()d 
pass by Bealing, Hobins strud.: the upright, and Scalllmell 
obtained ~l 
goal frolll the t"I.;;bound, School's n!lal 
goal was due to one of Foster's bad,s deflccting 
the ball through his O\\'n goal. Fot' tht: School, 
Burrow, in goal, was quite safe. and th:..-' bad,s \\"t~I'e 
excellent. The hal\'es got through a lot of hard worl;, 
;\lozley doing yeoman service in feeding his fon\'anls, 
ScalllmeJl was the pick of the fOl'wards. ~lnd 
\\'. ,I.

in vel'\' dull weathel", School scored shOt,t!\' after the 
stal"t, . through Welman mal,ing good use· of a well 
judged pass from the left wing, Peal'ct:. at Idt bacl" 
was next conspicuous fOl" good defensive \\'01'1" \Vell11<11l 
shot well, hut the ball was cle;:u"ed. 1Vlozlcy soon set 


\Ve1111an going again by a heautiful pass. and the latteI' 
scored School's second goal. Sherho"ne now forced a 
corneJ' and scored. School C<.u","ied play to the other 
end. and a shot fnH11 G. Genge was well s.'l\'ed, hut 
\\'elman secured and centered for Hobins to score. 
In the second half we got the advantage of the wind 
and rn:~ssed 
most of the time. The gn)llnd was very 
heavy. Hobins scored at the second attempt, and soon 
afterwards a long shot by A. Miles found the net. The 
next goal was obtained by Mozley, from a good centre 
of ScammeJ[·s. and the final goal of the match fell to 
the foot of \\·e!man. 

SCHATCH SIXES. 

Be<:ll1tiful \\'eathel" favou"ed this annual competition, 
and we \\'eJ'e enabled to play off all the games in less 
than a weel" Th::: various sixes were very evenly drawn, 
;\I,J in e\'el'y case the winning margin was a small one. 

In the nt'st J'()und only one game was played, R. B. 
.\linchin heating E. C. l\lozley, afteJ' a hard fight, by two 
goals to olle. 

In the second ,"oUlld the results wct"e as foI10\\'s:


A. D..\liks heat \V. H. n. .\lorgan (2-0). 
L. L. \\'elm;\n beat G. O. Genge (1-0). 
S. Burrow heat H. H.. Hobins (2-1), after extra time. 
L. F. Spinney heat H. B. .\lilll'hin (1-0). 
The hest game in this J'oulld was that between 
B .lITOW and Hohins: the latte,"s six, although small, 
pi:lyL'd \'ery plud,y football. but found Pearce ratheJ" too 
good fO)' them. Genge's six also gave \Velman's a much 
better game than had been anticipated. Special mention 
must be made of the promising display of Hoaper (fOl' 
BUI'I'OW!, and Ricl{etts (for .0.1organ), in this J·ound. 

The semi-Hnal round I'esulted as follows:--

A. O. .\\iles beat S. Burro\\' (~-o), 
after extra timc. 
I... L. \Velman heat L. F. Srinncy (1-0). 
;\liles wa~ 
undoubtedly bettcI' than BUI'row, and had

H E Sixth Annual Athletic !\leeting between the 
Secondary Schools of f)()J'set took place on \\lednesday. 
AP1'il 6th. on the TelTace, Sherborne. 
SnTll schools were I'epresented, viz:

\Vill1hornc GI":lmllUr School (Colours-Chocolate and Cerise), 

The wcathel' was vcry unfa\'oU!'able when we started 
for Sherbol"ne, hut during the aftct'noon improved greatly, 
and then~ 
were no stoppages for I'ain during the meeting, 
although the conditions wel"e all against good times. As 
our year's t'etention of the Shield was now ended, we 
tool.; the handsome trophy with us, at the same time 
~ect'etly 
hoping that it would join us on the retul'!l 
.I oul"llt:y. 

The Shet'horne Headmastet· and his staff had worked 
\'Cry hard to ensure th~ 
success of the Sports, and the 
cout"se was cleady marked out with small flags displaying 
the" chocolate and yellow" of Foster's School. 

The following Headmasten. took charge:

Nine events were down on th'e Pl"ograml11e, In the

the fact that the Quarter-mile was so 'gruelling."

to pn~sent 
the Shield to Shafteshul"Y. 

In handing the b'ophy to the winning team, ,\11'.

to work entir.:\y for the honour of their own Schools and 
not for indi\'idl~al

the atTangelllent of which 1\lr. Hutchins was responsible. 
\'otes of thanks to the btte." and to 1\1,", Greenhalgh, the 
ti,"eless secl'etary, were heartily accorded, and the toast 
of the winning team gave Dr. Tovey and 1\1,". lVlumfoni 
the oppcwtullity of llI"ging the necessity of systematic 
t,"aining in connection with sports. Aftet" tea most of us 
inspected the fine old Ahhey at the invitation of 1\11'. 
Hutchins. 

High spirits prevailed dlll"ing our return journey, 
and we are all hoping that it will be possible to arrange 
that the other schools shaH come to Sbaftesbury to 
endeaVOllI" to WI"est the Shield from us next year.

HE past term has been chiefly remarkable for the 
unprecedented success achieved by the School 
ele\"i::n at cricket. Some unusually good scores 
were made, and no school team scored a victory 
against us. 

\Ve should like to take this opportunity of thanking 
DUI" Rectol" for his complimentary remarks upon the 
recent successes in the Cambridge Local Examinations, 
and fOI" his good wishes for futuee success. 

\Ve offe," our best wishes to the Boy Scout movement, 
ill Shaftesbul'y, in which Dr. Blucke and 1\11'. Carey 
take so much interest. A training which not only gives 
a boy a sense of duty and discipline, but also renders him 
healthiel" and stl"engthens his physique, is of great value, 
and desel'ving of all praise. 

On Friday, September 23rd, owing to a holiday, 
kindly given us by Dr. Tovey, we were enabled to see 
the Military Manreuvres. Whether these were a success, 
or not, from a military point of view, we were unable to 
judge, but we had grand weather, and took the greatest 
intel'est in the pl·oceedings. We were especially pleased 
to have the privilege of seeing Lord Roberts sitting his 
horse like a young man, the Duke of Connaught, Lord 
I<itchenel', Si!" Evelyn Wood, and other notables. We 
anived home vet'y tired, but highly delighted with DUI" 
day's ollting. 


Old Shastnllj~\lls 
will doubtless bl: glad to IUlow th:lt 
we intend publishing the addresses of old boys who are 
subscl,ibers to the School ?\lagazillc. \Ve feel sure that 
those who have left are often desil'oLls of knowing the 
whereabouts of old friends, and would like to tb'op them 
a line occasionally, \Ve should like to make this list as 
complete as possible, and shall welcome fresh subscribel's. 

The additions to the School buildings aloe not yet 
completed!

GAMES FU:--lD. 

\Ve tende," Olll" hearty thanl\s to Al,". H. C. \Vatts 
(l0/6), for a kind cont,"ibution to our Games' Fund, and 
also to All'. C. A. Cox for so l\indly presenting C. E. 
Pea"ce with a bat fOl' his g:ood all-round cl'icl\et performances. 
The Fund presented hats to H. 8 . .i\linchin, L. L. 
\Velman and S. Burrow, for individual 'centllrie~' 
made 
during the season, a somewhat heav.y d"ain on our limited 
resources. 

\Vill three I{ind f,·jends come forward and present us 
with a Flag Staff, a 'Union Jac!\,' and a School Flag? 
The Coronation will soon be here, and we shall naturally 
be very anxious to be able to fly a flag. \Ve also hope to 
hold the DO"set Inter~School 
Sports on the school ground 
next spring, and we should ve,'y much like to have a 
School Flag for the occasion. 

Cricket. 

1r
1r
HE Crici<et Season of 1910 will always be Iool<ed back 
upon with pleasurable recollections by all who weJ"e 
privileged to take part in it, and we doubt jf the 
School has ever displayed such good form on the 
Cricket field as it has done this yeaI". We ran three 
teams, and of the 20 matches played, 15 were won, 2 
dJ"awn, and only 3 lost. Every inter-school match was 
won by a substantial mal"gin, and during the season Dr. 
Tovey, L. L. Welman (hvice), H. B. Minchin, and S. 
Bllrl~ow 
all scored 'centLwies.' 


In H. B. .\linchin and L. L \Vclm:ln the School 
possesses two exceptional I).' good bats who would have 
found a place in any school team, and it is difficult to say 
\\"hich is the better. Both have a good defence as well 
as plenty of scoring stl"ol\es, and though l'vlinchin beat 
\Velman in aggregate and average, the reverse happened 
in 1909. Opinions differ as to theit" relative merits, and 
wc shall not pt"obably be fal' \\Tong if we say that l\linchin 
is the soundel' bat. and \Velman, on his day, the more 
brilli<lnt. Although not so stylish or aggressive as these 
t\\·o. S. Burrow played several ve,"y valuable innings, and 
was generally to be relied on when things were going 
badly: in most seasons he would have heen good enough 
to win the average bat. C. E. Pearce, A. R. Cox, and \V. 
,J. Gcnge. especially the first named, all made runs, and 

Pe<lITC and Cox will probably improve very much in the 
next few veal's: the remainder of the team had fewer 
OPpo!·tunities of distinguishing themselves, but it cannot 
be said that they made the most of them. 

\Ve had tlwee very useful school bowlers in Pearce, 
Gcnge. :ll1d L. F. Spinney: on the sticky wickets of June 
and ~July, 
Pearce, a slow left hande!' with a natural break, 
carried all befol'e him. and was too good for the majority 
of his opponents. Genge, on his day, was excellent, but 
could not always find his length on slow wickets; Spinney 
was a good 'trier.' and could generally be relied upon to 
peg away and keep the ntns down. Burrow occasionally 
took wickets with . lobs,' but he has a lot to learn before 
he can hope to trouble a good batsman. 

The fielding was bette,' than it was last year, chiefly 
because the catching was bettet'; A. R. Cox was certainly 
the best ground field. and BUITo\\' the safest catch. R. 

8. ;\linchin is also a ve,'y good field, but owing to OUI' 
being unable to find a satisfactory wicket-keepel', he had 
to don the gloves and pads. Although not as good as 
Geol"ge Cheatet' was, he took the fast bowling vel'Y well, 
and tmvards the end of the season stumped several off 
the slow bowling. 

The' Undel' 14' Xl. were pOOl' at the beginning of the 
term, but impeoved out of all knowledge as the season 
advanced, and at the end of the season they were easily 
the hest 'Under 14' batting side we have had. J. Riddey, 

L. S. Prideaux, and F. C. Blucl{e were the best bats, and 

G 

not \"('rj' bl" below them \\'eIT .J. E. Tollelllachc. F. E. 
Pickfurd, and V. \V. N. Howles; all six will. we hope, 
make a name in School cricket in flltlln:~ 
years. 

The fielding of this team was also satisfactory, but 
the bowling was poor; V. R. Cox and Blud:e were the 
pick, but nOlle of them could keep a good length. \Ve 
are VCI'Y short of promising bowlers in the SchooL and 

unless wc can uneal·th some next seasoll. Otll" opponents 

will probably give liS se\"cral long days' fielding. 

In conclusion it is a very great pleasure to testify to 
the keenness shewll 011 club games throughout the term; 
practice games wCloe always well attended. and both clubs 
played the game seriously, and did their' utmost to 
improve. R. B. .i\linchin, \Velrnan, and Burrow did 
splendid coaching work at the II. Club net, and they had 
their reward in the great impnwernent shewo. !\linchin, 
too, made an admi,'able captain: he has a good l\nowledge 
of the game, and soon won the confidence of his team. 
A good 'skipper' is half the battle, and in .\linchin wc had 
one that it was a pleaslll'e fOl' everybody to wol"!\ with. 

H. H. Shelford was a very capable Umpire, and made 
very few mistakes; our best thanl\s are due to him fo)' 
his services.

across a stl'aight ball. \Vill probably do Illllch better 
another season. Good field, and excellent 'country' 
catch. 
H. 
H. SHELFoRD.-Batted better in p('actice than in 
matches. Has a fair defence, but lacks sCOl'ing strokes. 
Slow in the field, but has a safe pail" of hands.
