The 1912 School Magazine

This edition of the magazine finds us in a new year. We see many new faces in the Hall, and alas! miss many of the old familiar ones.

At the beginning of this year Mr. Staehli, Mr. Mottershead, and Mr. Durrand joined the staff, but Mr. Winford left us.

This year the work of the School has been changed; we now have six periods a day in place of five.

The new wing is still in progress and the new "Lab." will be an unending joy to the members of the Science Classes. The Debating Society under Mr. Stephenson's capable leadership is in a flourishing condition, while Mr. Thwaite's practical chemistry, Mr. Nowlan's orchestra, and Mr. River's drawing class are all hard at work.

The Cadet Corps has started class firing in accordance with the Compulsory Training, while our special squad is working hard in the hope of gaining first place in the Commonwealth.

At Christmas, we lost R. J. Willcocks, our cricket and football skipper. R. S. Irvine now fills the position of cricket captain, with T. Jack as vice-captain, while L. W. Gall is football captain and A. W. L. Row vice-captain.

The President for 1911–12 was Mr. Stuart Stephenson, M.A. (the Second Master). At the 1912 Annual General Meeting Mr. T. E. Jones, B.A. was elected President for 1912–13; Mr. J. G. Nowlan continued as Hon. Secretary & Treasurer (a role he had held since the Association's early years).
