THE McCABE COMMERCIAL SCHOOL MAGAZINE

SCHOOL HISTORY.

The School has experienced momentous changes this Term. One of the lesser changes is the fact that this School. Magazine is now appearing. We hope that it will deserve and obtain plenty of support.

Mr. McCabe's death on Wednesday, 10th September, came as a shock to the whole School. It was very fortunate that Mr. Piper had already arranged to become our new Headmaster. We learn from the Old Boys that he and Mr. McCabe were staunch friends in days gone by, and we wish him every success in the School.

The Preparatory Class has been started again, and we welcome Miss Stubbs on to the Staff. On Saturday, 1st November, a presentation of a Shaving Set was made to Mr. R. L. Marshall by W. Beale, to mark the occasion of his birthday, on Sunday, 2nd November.

Poppies were sold at the School on Armistice Day, and the sum of Ids. 7d. was realized. About 40 boys attended St. Peter's Church for the Armistice service, conducted by the Rev. Martyn. The services consisted of a few short Prayers, two Hymns, the National Anthem and a short Address. The rest of the School attended the service at the War Memorial.

On the annual day for the election of the Mayor, 10th November, the Senior Boys attended the Town Hall, to witness the ceremony. Mr. H. G. Tyrwhitt-Drake was proposed by Alderman Epps and seconded by Councillor Shrubsole. After the meeting the boys were all invited into the refreshment room!
