Housemaster:
Former Housemaster:
Mr. H. Gregory.
Mr. S. J. Brading.
House Captain: A. F. Dunning.
Last term we were very sorry to lose Mr. Cooke, one of
our Housemasters, who has always shown a great interest in
the activities of the House. We also lost the valuable services
of our House Captain, J. L. Alexander, and said goodbye
to P. Dawe, B. G. Hart, J. e. Cairns and others. We wish
them every success.
Although we did not' distinguish ourselves in league
cricket, we succeeded in gaining a decisive victory over our
opponents in the Cup FinaL
The House did not achieve a very high position in the
Swimming Sports, but it is to be hoped that the improvement in our percentage of certificates will continue.
Congratulations to D. V. T. Carden and R. W. Lonsdale
on winning the Brading Prize and to A. F. Dunning on his
appointment as School Prefect.

Housemaster:
Former Housemaster:
Mr. R. L. Taylor.
Mr. E. C. Brown.
House Captain: R. M. Seelig.
Once again we have reached great heights in the swimming world, for not only did we retain with ease the Polo
Cup, scoring thirteen goals without reply in the three matches,
but we again won the Swimming Cup after a lapse of two
years, and gained second place in the Proficiency League.
Although this last success shows that Brown's House achieves
success mainly through team-work, we should not forget the
individual efforts of Seelig and Bisgood, who both won the
Award of Merit, the former also winning the School Championship.
In cricket we gained no material successes, but our
narrow defeat in the first round by the eventual Cup winners,
Brading's, gave us as compensation a pleasing moral victory.
To all our leavers, who include H. R. B. Hack, A.
Chinneck and P. L. Bisgood, we wish every success. Finally
we congratulate W. F. Belsham 011 his appointment as School
Prefect.

Former Housemasters:

House Captain: E. H. Hooke.
Our efforts in the field of sport during the summer term
met with no great success. After a rather ignominious
defeat at the hands of Cribb 's in the first round of the Cricket
Cup, the final placings in the Cricket Leagues did little to
cheer us up, although the Second XI are to be congratulated
on occupying such a high position in their league.
The Swimming Sports found us, as usual, in rather too
lowly a position, but the general standard of swimming in the
House has improved, if only slightly.
The one bright spot of the term was the winning of the
newly-instituted "Hurry-Up" Cup Competition by the House
] st Xl.
Last term we were very sorry to lose G. E. Hudson, our
popular House Captain, and A. S. Jenkins, our un tiring
Secretary. We wish them and all other leavers every success.

also two House Prefects, T. C. Keates and A. D. Veall, the
latter of whom we congratulate on gaining his ]st XI colours,
and our House Secretary, A. F. Daniels. We wish them and
all other leavers a very successful future.
In Cricket we were beaten by Cribb's in the second round
of the Cup, but in the League we were quite well placed. Our
position of third in the Swimming Sports was very creditable.
It is still too early to forecast the prospects for the coming
term, but we can look forward to a successful season in
Football, Running and Fives, if each member of the House
contributes his best.

Vox clamantis in deserto.
We write far from the pleasant meads of Alleyn's,
whence we migrated on that memorable day, September 2nd,
feeling much as the Pilgrim Fathers must have felt, setting out
for an unknown destination. With a sense of high adventure
we marched to West Dulwich Station and detrained at
Hollingbourne, whence we were scattered abroad in Lenham
and district. The groups were far apart here, but we all
received a kindly welcome from our temporary hosts. From
the curiously named hostelry, the 'Who'D A Thought It,' in
Grafty Green, where a number of our boys were billeted, to
Platt's Heath and Lenham, our sojourn will ever remain in
our minds as a pleasant and happy interlude; but educational
facilities were quite lacking, so off we all trekked again to
Deal, where now we are all housed in comfortable billets, and
with the Fourth forms are following a modified curriculum
at St. Clare School. Soon Houses will again strive in friendly
rivalry and school life will be more than a pale reflection of
our erstwhile Paradise at Dulwich.
At the end of last term the Dramatic Society gave an
excellent performance of "Joseph," using the marquee as
a back-stage and dressing room. The title-role was splendidly sustained by J. Bate, who also gave great assistance as
wardrobe-master. Myers gave an excellent presentation of
Jacob-indeed all the players were much to be commended
for a clearly-spoken and interesting rendering. As the writer
has no notes by him, a full cast cannot be published.
We hope to have stirring news of our new mode of life
for the next issue, and though we are all happy here we
fervently hope that the next contribution may be penned
from our alma mater-Alleyn's School, Dulwich.
This year the prizes were presented by Sir Edward
Harding, a Governor of the School, who has recently been
appointed to represent the King and the Government in
South Africa. In his opening remarks as Chairman he congratulated the Headmaster on his f?rthcoming appointment

He then spoke of the relationship of detail to principles in life.
After spending many years studying the problems involved
in the new constitutional relationships between the Mother
Country and the Self-governing Dominions, he had found
this mass of detail very useful when the Statute of Westminster
had to be formulated.
The speaker concluded by emphasising the value of
hobbies, which not only provide experience, b'Ut also enable a
man to come back fresher to his job in life.

gathered to cut and wire the inevitable cornflowers. Their
labour was not in vain, for the blossoms were in as great
demand as ever. At 9.15 a.m. the school attended the customary service at the College Chapel, where the preacher was
the Bishop of Woolwich.
The watery state of the ground considerably embarrassed
the cricketers; the weather must explain, too, the disposition
of the public, by whose generosity the Alleyn's School Fund,
rep~esented by a stall on the quadrangle, bettered itself
dunng the day by half-a-crown. A more inspiring item was
the" Baby Competition, " organized, advertised and financed
by the School Prefects. Picture the prefectorial horror when
it was discovered that no 'prizes were available at the time
appointed for their distribution. A hurried and secret visit
to the nearest shopping quarter redeemed the situation and
assuaged the wrath of the successful competitors.
On the range a hard victory was achieved over the
School by the Old Boys' VIII. The laboratories, woodwork shop and art-room were thronged with visitors: and
even about the fields conscientious young hosts were to be
discovered admitting visitors to the nooks and crannies of
the AlIeyn acres.
In the evening the O.T.e. Band pursued its wonted way
up and down Big Side and an efficient display of gymnastic
prowess was provided by boys of the School. Bv this time
the long-peregrinating guests were glad to retire to the Great
Hall where the orchestral concert was performed and received
with an almost traditional enthusiasm. Once again we had
sought to honour the Founder.

The side relied too much on B. C. R. Smith and were as
a whole nervy and self-conscious. Smith put up some magnificent performances and is one of the best all-rounders we
have turned out in recent years. Keech showed welcome
improvement with the bat and Noakes bowled consistently.
The team tried hard-perhaps they were over-conscientiousbut not once did they appear to be a powerful combination.
The bowlers were handicapped not only by their own inability
to bowl a length, but also by the very bad fielding of several

Result: Won by 41 runs.
The School opened, and after some rather poor batting
Burman and Angus came together and managed to pull the
game round in the School's favour. The School's tail was
successful, thanks to Veall's attacking style. After Palm er
had played a good but cautious innings, our opponents were
dismissed quite easily.

Result: Lost by 80 runs.
After an uncertain start by the School, Smith and Keech
played confidently and, with the help of Angus, succeeded in
increasing the score steadily. When Keech was bowled, however, the tail was unable to raise the score above 154. Thanks
to two good innings by P. V. Jarvis and S. E. Sneezum, our
opponents succeeded in playing themselves in. Against poor
bowling Sneezum attacked vigorously, and the School's score
was easily passed.

Result : Won by 44 runs.
The M.C.C. went in first and lost their first four wickets
with only 29 runs on the board, thanks to the fine bowling of
B. C. R. Smith. The visitors' score was decidedly improved by
the cautious innings of M. T. TurnbuIl and by an enterprising
tail. The School opened cautiously against steady bowling
and were soon in difficulties with four wickets down for 33.
However Lyon and Smith batted well and the score mounted
slowly. Hill and Noakes came together just before tea and,
continuing afterwards, managed to pass the visitors' score
quite easily.

July 1st.
Result :Won by 20 runs.
The visitors chose to bat first, and gave rather a mediocre
display, except for a good stand by Rye and Jardine. B. C. R .
Smith bowled very well. The School batted confidently, but
no one was outstanding, except Smith who gave another
forcing innings.
R.M.C. OF SCIENCE: 156 (Smith 6 for 41).

SCHOOL V. ELTHAM COLLEGE (a)
July 6th.
Result: Won by 138 runs.
Our opponents fared rather poorly in adverse conditions
against steady bowling, only managing to score 81. The
School, on the other hand, attacked the bowling, and a fine
stand of over 130 by Smith and Alexander enabled us to pass
our opponents' score easily. Smith scored his second
century of the season.
ELTHAM: 81 (Noakes 5 for 21, Smith 2 for 17, Hill
2 for 7).
SCHOOL: 219 for 5 wickets (Smith 101, Alexander 74).
SCHOOL V. EMANUEL SCHOOL (a)
July 8th.
Result : Lost by 146 runs.
The School gave a very disappointing performance in
this match, collapsing against a fine bowling spell of W. L.
Page. Smith alone stayed for any length of time. Against
erratic bowling Emanue1 scored freely. Gandar especially
batted well to score a century.
SCHOOL: 77 (Smith 38, W. L. Page 6 for 7).

At the end of last term the prospects for the 1939-40
Football season, apart from political considerations, appeared at least as bright as usual. There were fewer Old
Colours remaining than is generally the case, but there seemed
to be every. possibility of producing a good First Eleven.
The new drainage scheme for the Townley field, which was
carried out during the holidays, would have enabled more
House games to be played and would have given greater
facilities for exercise to those who play in neither School nor
House teams.
'
Unfortunately we have had to deal with much more
difficult conditions. With the boys spread in groups over a
wide area, a very limited number of pitches available, and the
removal of the Fourth Forms to Walmer, it has only been
possible, so far, to arrange friendly games in the groups
themselves, on the nearest pitches, and some Big-side trials
on the Maidstone Grammar School pitch. Having recently
acquired a second ground near the school, we intend to start
normal Inter-House League matches at once, and this should
ensure for every boy as much football as he would have at
Alleyn's.
The School fixture list which this year included a match
with Wellingborough, has had to be abandoned almost
completely, owing to travelling difficulties and the inability
of senior clubs to fulfil their engagements; we hope, however,
to arrange local games for all our School teams. We have no
longer an Under 14 Eleven, and our Under 15 Eleven is greatly
weakened by the transfer of all the Fourth Forms to the
Junior School. This year's Football Captain, J. E. Keech, has
left school and his place is taken by E. H. Hooke, while C. B.
Lyon becomes Secretary. Many other candidates for First
Eleven colours have not returned, but we still have the makings
of a good team.
School fixtures may be difficult to arrange,
but as long as all the boys have their usual House and friendly
/lames, om chief object wi1! have been attained.

On Thursday, October 12th the first meeting of term was
held. There were twenty-seven present, and several new
members were accepted. As our late President Mr. R. H. D.
Young has been called to the colours, our thanks for his
services during the past year must be given in his absence. Mr.
F. M. Goldner therefore unconstitutionally, but most kindly,
took the chair; he was elected President for the coming year
by the enthusiastic assembly. H. H. Hoskins was made
Secretary. Unhappily the minute-book had been lost in the
turmoil of evacuation, so that the events of previous meetings
could not be recalled. So far as is known, we shall meet
once a fortnight on Thursdays at 3.45 p.m. Our activities
are of a sort to interest any member of the sixth forms; we
want more members. During the Advent term, the club
will continue its normal functions and a play may be produced.

In Small-bore Shooting, the Donegall Badge was won
by D. H. F. Hall, and the Collins' Cup shoot resulted in a tie
between K. A Spring and J. C. Cairns. As the latter had left
School for a course in Flying, the tie could not be shot off,
and each will hold the Cup for six months.
We hope to continue club activities as far as possible
during the winter months, in spite of the present drawbacks.
For this purpose we have fortunately acquired permission to
use the School House, Grove Green, as Weavering is the
district where most of last year's club are billeted.
There is also some prospect of future games with neighbouring schools, and we hope that club activities will form a
welcome entertainment during this winter in Maidstone.
We have one match result so far:

By Saturday the second of September, we sons of the
Foundation, leaving our loved ones and much that was too
dear, had fled under the auspices of a solicitous government from one place to another: or precisely, from there to
here. But where, where was it expedient to flee? This was
undoubtedly the question: a question of which the answer
was held in jealous custody. After considerable abortive
preparation, we strode forth, bag and baggage, with at the
head a banner bearing the intriguing device 'H29.' Guided
by the man who knew, we experienced for a few hours the
bliss of governmental efficiency. As our train trundled east,
speculations were shattered. We came to Hollingbourne, as
large boards on the station informed us. We did not yet
know that the promised land had yet to be reached. We
sojourned beneath part of the evacuation scheme to get our
rations. Then we arrived in earnest. We arrived in omnibuses : we arrived in many and in divers places : we arrived
early and we arrived late: we arrived with relief.
Vidimus.
In six weeks we have seen through a lot. We have been
welcomed: sometimes we have been welcomed with reservations. For many of us life has been a matter of a billet and
then a billet. Witness the following couplet sent in by a
harassed billetee:
'I'm billeted, I'm billeted, but where I cannot say:
I shall know early on in the afternoon whether I shall
have been moved before next Saturday, (or not). '
Moreover, immorality moves about the host: that is,
in the way of orchards. Here is an extract from an
anonymous confession entitled" Sins of a Billetee" :
"I have pinched and I have been pinched: I have pinched
and have been pinched again. Never shall I pinch more:
not there."
Yet there have been sights and feelings to console us.
We have seen men, worthy men, housemasters some of them,

(Continued from page 241.)
Our Founder contrived to be as self-contained and
independent as was practicable for his College and Farm.
He spent large sums in the provision of live-stock, and his
Diary, which is for the five years Mich. 1617 to Mich. 1622,
although more a record of expenses than a statement of
occurrences, yet throws much light on this subject and on
kindred farming activities, which at the date of its commencement must have been already in full swing.
He used oxen for the farm-work, and kept a number of
horses for the use of himself and the members of his household. He either went personally or sent his relative Mathias
Alleyn (not a brother) or some trusted retainer to Fairs as
far distant as Croydon, Erith and Epping to pick up animals
of all sorts, and at the last named place Mathias bought 4
oxen, 4 middling runts (smaller cattle) and 4 little runts for
£24, and paid a man to drive them to Dulwich. Other farm
animals purchased included cows, calves, hogs, sows and
litters of pigs, also poultry and pigeons.
As regards sheep he must have acquired a fair-sized
flock, which enabled him regularly to furnish one or more for
the consumption of the household, as well as an occasional
calf or pig. In June 1618 he enters the result of his sheep
shearing :-190 were washed at a cost of a groat a score,
and the fleece made 135Ib. of wool as well as 36lb. of lambswool. There was also black sheep's wool. The wool was
in due course spun, and weaved into cloth which Mathias
AIleyn-who from the accounts must have been in trade a
tailor-used for making up into garments for the "pore
children. " The Founder rather proudly enters in the Diary:
"Md. 34 yds. of narrowe cloth of my owne making being used
in ther Last coats and peticoats. "
Somewhere behind (south of) the College, Alleyn formed
a garden for the recreation of himself and the Fellows. He
purchased 1450 "damask rose" plants for it, and set it around
with a quick-set hedge, and he planted herbs which he got
from goody Mann. Associated with this garden were two
orchards and charges are entered for trees of Moyse's
"pippins' and pears Maynes," and for the grafting of Crabtrees, etc. Four men were employed in "grubbing the

We must, I think, consider ourselves fortunate that our
50th season came when it did and not a year later.
However, although forced to cancel all fixtures arranged
for the 1939-40 season it is hoped nevertheless to carry on.
Games will be arranged on a week to week basis, and for the
time being an effort will be made to fix a home and away
game each week.
Past, present and prospective members are all welcome
to Burbage Road, and those desirous of participating in these
games are asked to communicate with D. V. R. Martin at
27, Woodwarde Road, S.E.22 (Phone Forest Hill 1284).
The cost per home game will be 2/- including tea or 1/6
without, cost of away games to be fixed later, and it is hoped
that everyone in the least interested will do all he can to ensure
that these efforts to resume football will meet with the success
they deserve.

The 1st XI, under its new Captain, J. G. F. Dee, were
again an immensely strong combination, more specially in
batting: Although unsound fielding prevented their winning
several matches they were none the less successful on eight
occasions. Eleven games were drawn and two lost, the latter
being the first defeats sustained by the side since June 1937.
The 2nd XI had a disappointing season. Their batting
was poor in their early matches, whilst the side seldom fielded
well. As a result four matches were lost in succession in
May. A batting revival in July and August brought a change
in the side's fortunes, nine of the last eleven matches played
being won.

The PIXLEY Cup also fell into our hands, for our aggregate
of 460 succeeded in beating Winchester's and Marlborough's
score by one point.
The LUCAS Challenge Cup, awarded for the aggregate of
the Ashburton and one nominated Veterans' team, was won
by Winchester, Alleyn '8 taking 8th place with 454 + 233=687
points.
Some appropriate remarks on the winning of this Competition appeared in the Autumn 1938 and the Spring 1939
issues of the Edward Alleyn Magazine, both under the
heading of School Shooting and AO.B. Rifle Club notes,
and those who hope to· be selected for the Ashburton or
Veterans' teams are advised to consult these back numbers.

If we wish to qualify for the aggregate Cup in 1940, we
shall have to enter 3 teams. The DULWICH Challenge Cup is
given for the best "B" team shooting with 'Aperture' sights.
The writer is sure that the AO.B's. can turn out 3 reasonably good teams, and feels that a determined effort should be
made to defend our titles in July 1940.
In the Small-bore Shooting world, owing to the death of
the General Secretary of the City of London League, a
successor had to be found, and the A.O.B. Rifle Club was
honoured when its Captain, R. H. Hore, was unanimously
appointed to fill the vacancy. The City of London League
is the largest small-bore league in the world, comprising as it
does 25 Divisions made up of hundreds of club teams. In
past years the AO.B.R.C. has supplied no less than 5 Divisional Secretaries, and now one of them has become Hon.
General Secretary for the League. It is a post involving
much hard work and responsibility, and we feel sure that
Reg. will justify the confidence the League has placed in him.
