Autumn Term.

Pamphlets were displayed for sale was put up in the Study Hall, so that we could all do our share in support of the Catholic Press.

Another meeting of the Debating Society: the current topic this week is, of course, the Missions. We had a very instructive paper read to us which is reported in full elsewhere in the Magazine After the reading of the paper, a discussion took place.

The excitement of another Whist Drive! How we do enjoy them: this time we had a larger gathering than ever! '

Unfortunately our Diary must now close, as the Editor is clamouring to Send all the material to press. Other dates of interest will be: December 3rd; when we are having the " Lottery "; to which we have been so eagerly looking forward; December 8th, and 10th. when we hope to enjoy the Juniors' performance of a Nativity Play. " Tests " are still before us, but once they are over. we shall welcome the Christmas holidays, for which we shall break up on December 17th.

Happy Christmas to all!
