The examination results for 1932 that were not to hand when the last annual report was made were: —University entrance, 11 passes; two completed the accountancy preliminary; 15 passed the intermediate examination; and 3 were successful in the Chamber of Commerce examinations. "We are happy to be able to report a full year in sporting 'activities: this in spite of the ■ maily - difficulties that _ we have ■to ■ contend with, such "as our limited playing area, and our situation in the centre of the city. A fair share of success in games came our way. The best evidence of the good that comes from sport in school life was shown when we 'suffered defeat. It was pleasing to see that the boys could take their losses as graciously as they took'their wins. As a means of character forming, team sport,, and even that where -individual effort is demanded, stand very close in effectiveness to • positive teaching and classroom training of the boy. ..."
