THE NEW STANDARD, MADE AND PRESENTED BY MRS. HALFHIDE
We have a very good friend to the Company and to the School,
who has given to the Company a very finely embroidered
standard, and I would like to express my thanks and those of
all members of this Company for such a beautiful gift.
Mrs. Halfhide must have put in hours of loving work in making
this standard and I know that it will not only be an inspiration
to all present and future members of the Company but will be a
reminder that Mrs. Halfhide has always a kindly thought for us.

The Underground Foe
On Sunday, 27th April (this year), a friend and I decided to have a "look" at a wild duck's nest we knew.
The afternoon sun was very hot making us feel lazy as we walked through the sedges and grasses, arriving at the proposed place.
But no duck flew from the ground as my friend and I looked around for the inconspicuous nest. A few minutes later we found it—empty. Have the eggs hatched? And the young taken to the water and to the air in a space of seven days ? Our suspicions were immediately aroused, and after a closer examination we found four eggs in a small dugout near the nest. Then we saw a hole nearby; and while digging it up we found a small cavity containing six eggs of the original eleven ! After placing the eggs together we continued with our unusual work, soon to find one more egg, which filled up the whole circumference! of the tunnel. All the eggs were now found.
I arrived at the conclusion that a brown rats the likeliest of this family to fit such a sly and cunning act—having found the nest, had dug a passage to it and through the side, and then pulled the seven eggs down the tunnel, leaving them in the cavity. After which the rat(s) put the other four eggs in a, hardly noticeable hole ready to retrieve later. 1 think the actual stealing took place one or two hours earlier before we arrived (three o'clock).
The two photography show, (a) the duck's nest before it was tampered with, and B seven of the eggs placed in the rat-made cavity and showing the tunnel made by the brown rat(s) leading to the nest, which is seen in the top right hand corner of the photograph opposite.

CHAPLAINS NOTES
As we go to press, we look forward to the great event of this Easter term, when Bishop Wood comes to confirm 40 of our boys and a few of the Staff.
As your Chaplain, I am more pleased than words can express privileged to minister to you, and as our new members begin to join us round the Lord's table on Palm Sunday, I hope that our brotherhood in Christ will be so strengthened that we shall be able to affirm with the Apostle Paul "I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me."
It was very encouraging to see most of the staff present at our Dedication Service on Shrove Tuesday. If we lose sight of the first principles of our work, no man-made spectacles will help us to see through the mist that results.
May the joy and power and love of the Risen Christ bring real meaning to our lives this Eastertide.
