Our house was successful in the Annual School Sports. For
the second year in succession we won the Class I11 Challenge Cup.
For this we must thank Henry Yapp, the Class I11 Individual
Champion. Our boys showed great enthusiasm in the Sports
and we hope to repeat the performa~~cneext year.

We were rather unfortu~latein being eliminated in the Tenilis
Cricliet aiid Volley-ball Tournaments. This sl~ouldnot discour-
age us and we should do better next year judging from the interest
shown by our boys.

In the first round of the Inter-House Football Tournament we
clefeated Johnston House. Our next opponent is Bishop House
ancl a victory over them would put us in the final.

In spite of that not nzucll interest is shown by the boys in tlie
various activities.

In cricket, the House went as far as the quarter-finals before
we were beaten. We have a strong volley-ball team, and might
have gone far if the boys had co-operated more. We are all
looking forward to the Hockey House matches, though the absence
of P. Hoalin~,the House Captain, and Kartar Singh, the Hockey
Captain will weaken the teain coilsiderably.

SCOUT REPORT.

JVe welcorue as Scouters Messrs. Tail Sill Peag, Hooi Cheng
Looil and E. H. Sheares as A. S. Ms. of the 211d, 16th and 32ncl
Troops respectively. At the same time we are sorry to lose the
services of one of our most enthusiastic Scouters in the person of
A. S. M. YueYit Yang of the 1GthTroop. He has done two years
of harcl work with the 16th ancl was virtually in charge of the
Troop in the absence of its Scoutn~aster. IE-Ie goes to further his
studies in China and we wish him the best of luck.

Our three Troops are filled to capacity and the 2nd Troop
is burdened with a fifth patrol clue to a lack of suitable officers.
This drawback, lio\vever, we hope to remedy, ill allotl~eryear
when the liover Squires of our newly forillecl Rover Crew will
hecome full-blown Rover Scouts.

Parades are held every Friday and atte~lclailceat all paradcs
is very good. The three l'roops co~nbiileon the last Friday of
every month, 011 which day we close our parade with a very enjoy-
able time arouilcl the Camp Fire Circle.

On April 23rcl all Scouts and Scouters re-affirmed tlieir Pro-
lnise at a St. George's Day Associatioll Parade held at Scout H. Q.
A very enjoyable Cainp Fire brought the progra~~li-t~oleits close.

All three Troops have carllped at Purdy once this year a1lc1a
First Class Training Camp for all Scouts e~lteri~lfgor the First
Class Badge was also held.

On Sports Day the Tiger Patrol of the 16th Troop won the
Inter-Patrol Competition (Flagstaff Relay Race) and was awardecl
a felling axe.

66 Scouts and Scouters attended the I<ing's Birthday Parade
on June 23rd.

The Pioileering Team of the 32nd Troop won the SandsXup
this year. The 2nd and 16th Troops came third and fourtll
respectively. A raft had to be built and rowed to carry six Scouts
and a tent across a lake. On reaching the other end, the team had
to pitch the tent they carried. Seven teams from different
Schools competed and the winning team was co~lgratulatedby the
judges on its excellent discipline.

46 THERAFFLESIAN

The Signalling Team of the 32nd Troop won the Sir Arthur
Young's Cup this year. The 16th and 2nd Troops came second
ancl third respectively. Two messages ill code had to be sent by
torch at night and the Raffles Signalling teams were congratulated
011 their speedy work. MTe were, however less fortunate i11 the
An~bulanceCup Competition but I an1 quite sure that the trailling
put in by the Scouters has not been wasted.

Six Scouts assisted at the Children's Concert held at the
Victoria Theatre on July 2211d. 20 Scouts assisted in the First
Chinese Inter-School Sports on July 30th and 31st.

The inclusive cost of transport and inessing is $15 per head. A
world jamboree is to be held in Holland in August nest year. No

Extracts from the District Commissioner's Speech on Rover-
ing at the inaugural meeting of the newly formed Rover Crew at
Raffles Institution, on June 22nd, 1936.

At the inaugural meeting of the newly formed Rover Crew at
Raffles Institution, on June 22nd, the District Co~nmissioner
outlined the part played by the Rover Branch in the General
Scout Movement.

Rover Scouts, he said, contiilued the ideas taught in the
Cubs and Scouts, that persolla1 happiness is to be found in con-
sideration for others. Rover Scouts were assisted towards their
ideal o.f " Service " by the adoption of nnnies of famous men-e.g.
Raffles-in tlie manner of the Scouts who adopt birds and beasts
as their pa.tro1 emblems. By studying the life of their adopted
hero Rover Scouts find help in living their ow11 lives. To young

nlen who had outgrown the age of Scouts Rovering offerecl a
variety of interests and pursuits and the opportunity of doing
good wllich made it well worth their while to participate in the
movement.

The District Comlnissioner saicl that if a Rover Crew were
Eorrned in Raffles Institution he was sure it woulcl be a source of
strength to all those who were striving to show an esample of
good citizensliip through the training which the Scout Movement
offered.
