JUNIOR FORENSICS. Those Juniors from whom forensics are still due are requested to leave them in the letter-box of 20 Holworthy on or before Tuesday next. Delinquents are reminded that 24 censure marks per week are charged to them until the forensics are all handed...

It consists of a dark blue coat, cut like a West Point dress-coat, with white lacing and facings, trousers to match, and a blue cap with white pompon.

What decision was arrived at is not yet known, but it is to be hoped that a race may be arranged between these three colleges...
