On 19th February, Sir George Maxwell, the Chief Secretary to the Government, came to inspect the school. He arrived punctually at 9 a.m. and was fittingly received by a Malay guard of honour. By 11.30 he had visited the Infant School, the Preparatory School and the Middle School. At noon he addressed the Middle and High School in the hall.

A school crest is an urgent and pressing necessity. We need it for a flag; for putting on our cricket blazers and our football jerseys; for our note paper and our school certificates. We have already approached the Sultan of Selangor on this question and he has graciously permitted us to make any use that we like of the Selangor Coat of Arms.

Besides a crest, we need a school song. Will none of our talented Old Boys write one for us? There is a composer in England who has already told our president that he would be very willing to write the music, and as he has wide experience, we should hurry up and accept his offer. A suitable school song should be built up on lines similar to the Harrow School Song. It must be easy to learn and have plenty of good vowel sounds and should lend itself to singing.

The school will hold its second Conversazione in August. The function is open to the public for two days beginning August 12th. The Conversazione will consist of a museum, an art gallery, an exhibition of kindergarten work, cub and scout displays, morris dances, pageants, physical drill, singing, club swinging, torch-light displays, etc.

Tennis has at last become an official school game. Besides the tennis court, we have eight badminton courts

There is now quite a good prefects' library; an excellent library under the charge of Mr Carr for the seniors; Mr Redfearn has a splendid library for the juniors and for history; while Mr Ponniah also has a library for the juniors. The Middle school is not left out of it but has books which are under the charge of Mr Tay. In the Headmaster's house are many other books which he is quite willing to lend to boys who apply through his librarian. The question of a big school library is under consideration and it is probable that this will not be achieved until we are safely in the new building.

The school crest is being drawn by Mr. W.D. Mavor of the Government Survey Department. Mr Mavor has been to great trouble about this and we are grateful to him for his labour.

Mr G.G. L Mcleod and his wife and their young son left Malaya for New Zealand on leave. They were given a send off at the railway station by many boys and friends on February 4th.

We welcome Mr F. Cobb to the school staff. He is taking Mr. Ellis' place when the latter goes on leave. Mr Cobb is now taking the Queen's Scholars in Authors, and the Matriculation Scholars in English Composition.

The long-awaited Cambridge Examination results for 1934 were published on March 6th. The Imperial Airways plane, by which the results were sent, arrived in Alor Star 48 hours late. The percentage of passes were below those of 1933. Of 108 boys who sat for the Senior Cambridge examination, 73 passed or 68%.

A system of House prefects has been inaugurated. House prefects are chosen for their merit in the classroom as well as on the field. Though inferior to the School Prefects in rank, House Prefects are one step higher than ordinary School Boys. They do not enjoy the same privileges as School Prefects, but they have special privileges of their own.

A fretwork class has been started in the school with Mr Lim Eng Thye in charge. We expect to see some beautiful and intricate fretwork models at the exhibition in August.

The Science Lecture room (ground floor) has now been provided with a daylight projection screen. This is the second screen of its kind to be installed in the Science Wing, the first being in the upstairs lecture room.

We congratulate the following boys on their appointments:
1) Lee Yew Seng, School Badminton Captain;
2) Ong Yoke Lin, School Badminton Vice-Captain

A new arrangement has been made regarding the time for closing the school. Formerly school ended at 1 p.m. every day. There was usually a rush for the cycle shed and traffic became congested, especially along Birch Road and Gaol Road. To reduce the risk of accidents and traffic congestion, all Standard Six boys are to leave school at 12.55 p.m. At 1 p.m. all Standard Seven boys are to leave the building. And at 1.05 p.m. the final bell for dismissal is rung and all Cambridge boys will be allowed to leave.

The first aquatic sports this year are to be held at the Travers' Road Swimming Pool on March 29th. The Interschool Swimming Contest will take place on April 6th.

2) A. Anandarajah, School Cricket Vice-Captain and School Football Vice-Captain;
3) Mahmud bin Ambak, School Football Captain.

Dr Ganeson of the Radiotherapy Department was invited to talk about cancer. His lecture was planned in conjunction with the exhibition on cancer put up on Speech Day.

The Cadet Band deserves mention for the beautiful performance they put up for the Speech Day programme. It was due in no small measure to their tireless rehearsals every afternoon, especially the bagpipers. Within a week of acquiring their instruments, they could handle the bagpipes with the assurance of any Scottish highlander.

The Economics Section won the first prize in the Arts exhibition. It was graced by the presence of the Minister of Education, Inche Khir Johari. The giant model of the Bilut Valley and the smaller model of the layout of the P.J. Industrial Sector all combined to impress the three judges.

Mr. J. Masefield of the British Information service told us all about "British Political Thought". Throughout his talk, his pleasantly informal manner won the audience over completely.

The V.I. Arts Union led a group of intrepid Victorians into the dark caves of Batu Caves much to the annoyance of the bats nesting there. Doubtless these must have heaved a sign of relief at seeing the last of these curious humans.

The 1965 football season came to a disappointing end at the Stadium Merdeka where the finals of the Selangor Inter-school U-20, U-18, and U-15 were played.
