lands. When this matter was
placed before the classes, it was
very appreciatively received by al
most the entire high school. Many
interested pupils paid their small
fee of fifteen cents, and their names
and particulars were sent to the
pupils desired country.
The last few weeks awarded us
with a fine lot of correspondence.
Written below is the letter which
I received from a very interesting
correspondent in England:
My Dear Correspondent, Milton
Maloney)
1 have been informed by the
League of Nations Union that you
are willing to carry on correspond
ence with me.
/ have also been informed that
you are very keen on art and ath-
letics.
At Worurck we were very for
tunate in having at our school a
boy called A G. K. Brown who won
the quarter mile three times rum
ming, in the Public Schools sports
He also holds the record time for
it. He was also a good long jump
er as well; he jumped twenty-five
feet, which is our best record at
school. We hold our sports in the
Eastern team. We have a mile,
quarter, half, 100 yards hurdles,
races. There is also the discus,
javelin, and weight throwing.
1 like the cross-country running
the best. I run for my house. We
have about a four mile course.
In the School there are $50 boys
about, 12O of these being Juniors
(under 13 years Of age). The
School is divided into eight houses.
Senior boarders' houses are
Brooke & Leycester. Day boy
houses are Ureville, Tudor, and
Guy. The Junior houses are Mel
son, Doche and Scott.
We have competitions of all
kinds among the houses. They in
clllde boxing, shooting, running,
sports, gym, fives, rugger. cricket,
and swimming. There are cups
for all these events, and cup for
the winning house. This year the
order was ! Guy, Brooke, Ley
cester, Tudor, 5 Ureville. 1 am a
boarder so 1 am in Brooke House.
My favorite hobby is Wireless,
at present. 1 am building a short
wave set. Early in the morning
we can get American stations. My
school short wave station number
is 2BLR. When I have built my
set, will let you know whether /
can get any American station.
Over there do you have to pass
any test before you are allowed to
transmit?
Will you let me know the call
sign Of any short wave station that
is near your home, and what wave
length it transmits on? Then 1
will try to pick it up. If you know
the owner perhaps he will let you
transmit. A boy at our school has
carried on a conversation with an
other boy in America.
Our daily routine begins at 730
A. NJ. in the morning and ENDS at
1000 P. M Out Of all that time
we are in school eight hours. two
of which is preparation, which we
do between 7.15 P. NJ and $50
PM.
We play games on Wednesday
and Saturday afternoons from 2.3O
TO 3.45.
On Sunday we are allowed to do
anything We have TO attend
church at HOO to 11.3O and GAS
to 7.3O. The rest Of the day we
get free.
I will send you some photos next
time Of the school and Ancient
Town Of Warwick. The school
dates back from Edward the Con-
fessor's Time.
We have got twenty masters at
school We have got a good sci
ence building, gym, and five courts.
We are also very lucky in having
our playing fields on top Of the
school.
We play many other schools at
games and don't think there are
many that have grounds better
than ours. At one school we have
to cross a river in an old punt, be-
fore we can reach the playing
field. Some schools we have to
walk mile or two. Our Rugby
xV's are said to be the best in the
county. We won and drew A out
of II matches this season.
Today our A XIV beat Stoatford
Troumian School by 35 points to
nil
If there is anything else you
would like to know / should be
very pleased to let you know.
I shall be looking forward to
hearing from you. My address is
ON the top of the letter.
