him, and in answer we feel sure that all the fellows of
the School House will give Mr. and Mrs. Girdlestone a
hearty welcome to Neuenheim. Cheers were then given
for Mr. and Mrs. Armitage and also for Miss Armitage,
after which we retired to rest. The only regrettable
point in the whole Evening being the absence of Mr.
and Mrs. Benfield and of any of the Army House; which
was however quite unavoidable.
Such an important change as the School House is
about to undergo, cannot be allowed to pass without
some mention. We understand that Mr. Armitage is
giving the management of the School House over to
Mr. Girdlestone, whom we may congratulate on having
recently married. Mr. Armitage is however not going
to leave us altogether, for, although he will not directly
manage the affairs of the College, he will remain Head-
Master and will live in Heidelberg, and we believe,
will 3'et take some classes at the School.
The Dramatic Society.
This estimable society gave, as usual, their enter-
tainment towards the end of the term, on the i5tn De-
cember. The whole programme came off remarkably
well, without a single hitch even in the German Play.
The singing was good on the whole, that of Roberts II
and Hill I especially so; the violin solos by de Bernales
came off well, but some rather lighter form of amuse-
ment might have been substituded for them, as the pro-
gramme was a trifle serious. This of course reflects
nothing on to his playing, which was excellent, as also
his French recitation. Roberts I's Banjo piece was much
applauded and encored; in the German play Pepys, as
Blasebalg the cook, was the whole spirit of the piece,
both his acting and elocution being very funny, the
others were also very good indeed, especially Hill I
as the Graf, and Roberts I as the Baron; Kelly I made
an excellent girl. Refreshments were fery kindly pro-
vided by Mrs. Armitage, and the evening was ended up
by a little dancing in the big study. The programme
was as follows:
