A new type of_Autumn term-punctuated by a week's holiday-hasiust just been completed. Full of bustle <strong>and</strong> activity for most, expecijly expeciaUy theDramatic Society, it has seen the production Lf of yet anothei another ,uccessful successfulschool play. An account of Badger's Green will- be found on anotherqagg., page.On the football field the First XI continues to hold its own, whilethe Under l4 14 XI is developing into an excellent <strong>and</strong> successful combination.In academic work, too, successes have been scored. At the Cambridee CambridgeSchool Certificate Examinations held in December seven c<strong>and</strong>idatis c<strong>and</strong>idateswere successful : Hann, Johnson, Neal, Pike, Tett, T Stacey <strong>and</strong> Young.We welcome to the teaciring teaching staff Mr. H. Greenwood, B.A., RA., (Hons.). (Hons.),Bris_tol Bristol; ; he ser-ved served with the Royal Artillery for six years during the 1939-1945 war <strong>and</strong> has come to us straight from the University, ihough though he isby no means without experience as a teacher.The number in the School Platoons of the Anmy Army Cadet Forcer,ose rose during this term to sixty-six, sixty~six, including twenty-five twenty~five new recruits.On 5th October a large party of cadets went to Netherivon, Netheravon, where they sawa most interesting _<strong>and</strong><strong>and</strong> _instructive demonstration of airborne troopi troops <strong>and</strong>:equip_ment.- equipment. O-l On ?qd 2nd December Lcpl. Clark was zuccessful successful in passingPart II I I of the Certificate A Examination.

We felt somehow honoured that ours was.the first recital. that thesetwo musicians had given since. returning from a tour o[ of Sweden, <strong>and</strong> weare indeed sensible of the higher honour conferred upon us by the greatestliving exponent of this type of music coming to play to us.. The Commonere' Commoners~ Society has continued its activities this termwith two discussions disj:ussions between the Sixth Forms of this <strong>and</strong> of <strong>Lord</strong> Dicbv's Digby'sSchool.The first, under the chairmanship of Miss Christopher,"waswason the subject, '• Woman's place is in the home: home' <strong>and</strong> the seclnd, second, withMr. McKay in the chair, centred on nationalisation as a topic t()pic for discussion.The Society has also held one film Show. (R.c.)The Society has also held one film Show. (R.C.)The OnlookerThe OnloofterPerhaps it is not surprising that, with as hectic <strong>and</strong> full a term asthis Autumn has been, no issue otTheOnloofter of Onlooker has been made.However,we lroqe hope that this will be remedied next term. The response td'requests to made for articles for publication has this terrir term been quite encouraging,encouriging,especially in view of the considerable activity involved in preparing forthe school play.We shall still be glad to receive any back numbers of ol The Onlooker Onloofterto assist in the establishment of a library of copies of the magazine.(M.A.Y.M.).(M.A.V.M.).Badgerts Badger's Green(by (bv R. C. Sherriff).Badger'.~ Badger's Green is a charming play; ; sentimental-but in a clean<strong>and</strong> pleasant manner.It touches deftly upon a question of importance<strong>and</strong> then, just iust as it is,in in danger of turning into a a'problem • play,'it sellsus gl-a a neat !9at dummy <strong>and</strong> the ~not knot is untied by the simplest of ill all methods.All this is very comfortable comtortable <strong>and</strong> Mr. McKay's MclGy's production was just ascomfortable as could be_wished. I suppose,that suppose.t-hat the ihe producer was facedat the outset with a problem: : how to reconcile the realism of the storywith the simple caricatures that Mr. Sherriffhas has given us instead ofcharacters. The alternative was either to make the play ptriy fit the personagesor the personages fit the play.Mr. McKay chose chosi the latter ilternat"ive alternative<strong>and</strong> I thought that the reconcilaition regoncilaition was effected as completely as possible.The characters were realised far more completely than they had been bythe author. After Twiggie's lamentable accident accidint there isonly one onlpossible qossible-course for the play to 1o take; ; but the embroiling Butlir extortio, -fro* of Butler intothe maelstrom of village cricket <strong>and</strong> the final extortion from him, .in amoment of exaltation, of the promise to leave Badger's Green alonethesethings were brought br-ought out with the showmanship of an accomplishedconjuror. We could not help but believe. . .alone*Looking at the production in greater detail, there was little to blame<strong>and</strong> much to praise. The cast as ai a whole, whose teamwork was good,tr\:,.;4f,IIlI'iitIt{5had only one considerable fault-occasional indistinctness of speech <strong>and</strong> ~nda tendency to 'gabble' • their lines.It was but a tendency <strong>and</strong> I believe belIevethat in the main not a great deal of dialogue was lost.Possibly thisfault was born of a virtue.The play progressed at a great pace <strong>and</strong>the players, as inexperienced actors always will, knowing that speed wasrr"c"ssary necessary in actioni, actions, movements <strong>and</strong> taking up of cues, transferred theidea of ipeed speed to the words themselves.Perhaps they might also haveprofited from listening to radio comedians who wait for their audienceto finish laughing before they go on with the next gag. As a -whole,however, thJ the humorous lines were put ovei over neatly <strong>and</strong> pointedly <strong>and</strong>what was Iost lost (dare one say it ?) was sometimes lost on the audience.Michael Morris, as Dr, Dr. Wetherby, Wetherbg, was one who was never guilty ofindistinctness or of excessive speed.His voice is good <strong>and</strong> he used itwithout forcing it. Flis His characterisation of the doctor was possibly alittle Iittle too severe sever; <strong>and</strong> some of his movements <strong>and</strong> mannerisms were hardlythose of an old man; ; but it was indeed his own reading of the part, <strong>and</strong>an honest, comprehensible <strong>and</strong> coherent reading, too. The other twomembers of the triumvirate who ruled Badger's Green, Mr. Twigg Tuigg <strong>and</strong>Major Forrester, Fonester, gave more scope for sharply contrasted characterisat~oncharacterisationthan that of the doctor himself.Richard Coleman as T Tuigg wigg was as· Ineffective<strong>and</strong> unworldly as you could wish <strong>and</strong> maintained the characterwell.He like other members of the cast failed to convince his audienceof his stage age.Age makes some people static, but not the T Twiggs ofthis world.As middle age passes away their fussiness increases <strong>and</strong>,irithe case of T Twigg, underst<strong>and</strong>ing lags behind action.Though notcompletely convincing, Coleman showed T Twigg's childlike . qualitiesadmirably.How different is Major Forrester! Fonester ! This active, competent,self-sufficient, retired officer had no need to bluster except when he cameinto contact with the quiet strength of the doctor.The play does notresolve their quarrel, for their characters are completely opposite. opposite, Allwe can hope is thadate that.fate is kind enough to send them a succession of Mr.Butlers, that their fighting instincts be employed shoulder to shoulderrather than h<strong>and</strong> to h<strong>and</strong>.Kenneth Clark was a competent Major who,it was quite obvious, could h<strong>and</strong>le a T Twigg or a bat with equal dexterity.The doctor's son, Dickie, Dt'cftte, a rather incoherent incohirent undergraduate, was ablyplayed by Charles Bungay.in-The" Th6 " villain" " of the piece, Mr. Butler, the plausible but likeablebusiness man-that ambassador from the •'world' whose embassageBadger's Green was predetermined to reject-had a chink in his armour.He Ioved loved cricket.That was enough; ; it was even suggested that heshould rent the vicar's cottage <strong>and</strong> play regularly for the village everySaturday. But he was the only realist of the whole bunch. He k!1ew knewthat his schemes, ichemes, gr<strong>and</strong>iose as they were, for the development of the neIghbourhoodwere nothing compared to the Badger's Green-Spagholt battle.The Doctor, the Major <strong>and</strong> Twigg thought that they knew this, too;hui but they theli did not know the importance of Mr. Butler's schemes to Mr.Butler. Geoffrey Stone was a charming Mr. Butler ; . perhaps heneigh-hadButler. Geoffrey Stone was a charming Mr. Butler; perhaps he hadI
