SPORTS COMN7IT'PEE MEETINGS.
A Sports Committee meeting was held on March 30th, to make arrangements for the new cricket season. It was announced that the School was to play at Wadham Lodge this year and that opportunities would be given for lst XI practice throughout the season. The Committee unanimously decided to accept the invitation of George Green's School to a combined sports at the end of this term. At another meeting on April 27th it was decided to increase the sports subscription to 2/6 a term, the payment of the subscription entitling the boy to a copy of the "Monovian." It was also decided that lst XI caps were to be awarded to all members of the XI. M. Thorogood (U.Vb) was unanimously elected Vice-Captain for the present cricket season. A further meeting was held on May 11th to decide on events to be run at the sports at George Green's School.

NEW SCHOOL TIES.
The authorities are to be congratulated on their choice of the new School ties, which add considerably to the renowned beauty of Monovians. Quiet and simple in design, they are well in keeping with the dignity of our house of learning. As for the newly authorised straw hats, we know not whether it is youthful bashfulness or the inclemency of the weather which has so far prevented their appearance.
THE SCHOOI. HYMNAL.
A welcome innovation has been made by the introduction of the new "Monovian Hymnal," a collection which contains some of our most famous hymns, and those most suitable for school use. It is bound in a demure black binding, adorned with the School crest on the front.

INVITATION RELAY RACE AT COOPERS' SCHOOL.
On April 14th, at the Drapers' Sports Ground, Leyton, we ran in an Invitation Relay Race and won by a few yards. Smith, our first man, did not get away very well, and was only third when he handed over the baton. Roberts ran second, and not only caught the leaders, but gave Vaughan a yard start. The latter increased this to about six yards, but just before passing the baton he was hampered by another man waiting for his relay, and lost a couple of yards. Snaith, running last, just about held his lead, and the School won by about six yards.

PRESS NOTICE.
From the "Walthamstow Guardian" we cull the following excerpt, which appeared soon after the publication of the first number of the revived "Monovian." "The "Monovian," suspended during the War, thanks to lower printing charges, has embarked on a renewed lease of life, with A. E. Holdsworth as editor, and W. L. Roberts as assistant editor. It makes a good start by news concerning personalities connected with the School ..... It is also fitting that the Literary Section should include an appreciation of George Monoux. The magazine gives an excellent idea of the many activities associated with this ancient School. May the latest venture connected with this venerable institution long flourish."

AN IMPENDING APOLOGY.
"A very enjoyable fixture with the Headmaster's old school, St. Olave's, followed. Unfortunately St. Olave's were handicapped by having to play two of our fellows as substitutes. They made a great fight, however ........ ("Monovian," Vol. ii., No. i., page (6). For bringing this gem to our notice we are indebted to the lynx-eyed scrutiny of a bright young Cantab. Though it redounds to our discredit, we put it on record, and hope our fine gesture of impartiality will not go unobserved.

GEORGE MONOUX AND THE DRAPERS' COMPANY.
It may be of interest to readers to know that the school badge figures on a stained-glass window in Drapers' Hall, Throgmorton Street. The badge was originally the coat of arms of Sir George Monoux, who was not only a member of the Drapers' Company for many years, but master no less than seven times.

EMPIRE DAY SERVICE.
For the first time for many years the School did not attend the Parish Church on Empire Day, but a brief service was held in the School Assembly Hall. The Headmaster gave a short address, emphasizing our duties as citizens of the Empire, and several patriotic hymns were sung.

GEORGE MONOUX COMMEMORATION SERVICE.
A number of masters and boys attended the parish church on Saturday, June 5th, on the occasion of the George Monoux Commemoration Service, held under the auspices of the Walthamstow Antiquarian Society. Canon Lampen briefly recounted the activities of our worthy founder, after which the School Song was sung.
