2B - Form Report
Just twelve months ago twenty-seven boys were assembled in Room 4. We are now in Room 5, just across the corridor.
Most of the boys were strangers to one another but now we are one happy form. We were sorry to lose one of our form-members - R. Buckle - who by this time we hope has settled in his new school.
Many activities are pursued by the boys. D. Morris, I am happy to report, has represented the town at swimming. Many of the form play chess, and J. Battersby is on the chess committee. Several of the boys are keen aero-modellers and others take an interest in cycling. T. Walsb was top boy in the half-yearly examination and F. Ogden was top of the final one.
Our form-master is Mr. Handforth.

2G - Form Report
2G has had a slight change in its members; unfortunately we have lost Olive Shaw, but we welcome Sylvia Fitzpalrick. We also have to welcome Mrs. Kuler, our new form mistress, who came at the beginning of the term to teach French and German.
Our form has something rather unusual about it; it is the only form of girls in the whole school; all the rest, except 2B, being mixed classes.
We have quite a few sportsgirls in the class, and in the school sports we had someone from every house representing her house in netball and athletics. Our best at netball and long jump is Jean Wright, and the best at high jump and running is Betty Howard. Our star diver is Joan Fogg and our best swimmer Joyce Deane. Some of us hope to get on the junior netball team this year.
Several of our members have joined the girls' choir this term. We are still in the same form room (Room 1) as before; our form captain, as last year, being Jean Wright.
3X - Form Report
Our form now consists of 26 children; 13 boys and 13 girls, many of whom were members of last year's 2M, but we have to extend a hearty welcome to 6 girls and 5 boys who were promoted from last year's 2G and 2B respectively. We welcome them with the hope that they will settle down happily quite soon in their new surroundings and add their useful contributions to the activities of our class.
Soon after the publication of this magazine the half-yearly examinations will be held, but it is already evident that there will be very keen competition for the top places in the class, James Stone occupying the position of honour at the moment on last year's 2M results.
