No. 8  December 1959

Science is proceeding in leaps and bounds, as exemplified by moon-probes, mars-probes, Sputniks, A-ships and such spectacular developments, and only at the time of writing, the U.S. have put another satellite into orbit, prior to a manned-attempt in the near future.  We have advanced-radar, colour-television on the way, transistors in common use, super-sonic 'planes and Goon Shows.  Thus it is fitting that this magazine is again making an appearance, it being our not insignificant contribution to great literature and to the advancement of world knowledge.  If we cannot be the first to visit the Man in the Moon, then we can boast a magazine full of the good points of a happy, healthy, academic life.

We present a record of the daily events at this school, interspersed with material of outside interests, contributed by conscientious and school-spirited girls and boys.  The success or failure, as judged by the reader, falls upon these individual contributors.

This magazine is to be a cross-section through the school, and for that I am grateful, for the younger forms must benefit if they see their work published in these hallowed pages, and in the same pages read of the interests of older people.  The effect works the other way, too, of course, for we hope to foster a close regard for fellow school-members, and what better agent could there be for this, than the School Magazine?  At least, it can only broaden our outlook upon life.

So, from this exalted position of fame, if not of fortune, I bid you read on.
