allot time for such a feature as there were so many other activities to cover duirng these intervals.
(b) It had proved difficult to arrange a time for the soccer match to be played, despite the bringing forward of the Chapel service to 10 a.m. After some discussion, it was agreed that next year the programme for Sunday would take the following form :

10 a.m. Chapel Service and Wreath-laying.
11 a.m. March Past - Salute to be taken by
a young Old Victorian.
11.15 a.m. Pipe Band Beat Retreat.
11.45a.m. Annual General Meeting.
2.30 p.m. Soccer - Edinburgh Branch v.
Glasgow Branch.
3.45 p.m. High Tea.

Mr J. Quinn of the Glasgow Branch agreed to be responsible for the arrangements for the Soccer Match.
4.     Headmaster's Report.   The Headmaster gave a report on the activities of the School during the past year.
5.     Branch Reports.   The following read reports from their Branches:
Mr D. Aitchison, Glasgow; Mr A. Bulloch, Edinburgh; Mr C. McQueen, London.
6.     Life Membership.   The following proposal was made by Mr M. Owens and seconded by Mr K. Douglas and carried unanimously;
"1.    Life  Membership   of  the   Old   Victorians' Association should continue to cost £1.
2.     Life  Membership   of  the  Association  will entitle the  Member to be kept in touch with School affairs, mainly through the annual Newsletter.
3.     The Victorian should be ordered and paid for separately from Life Membership.
4.     Life Members under the old scheme should be allowed to carry forward their membership under the new scheme. They are not required to pay another £1."
7.     Old Victorians' Association. The Headmaster explained what had been done so far to enrol new members in the Association and undertook to enclose with these Minutes when they were sent out, a statement to show how the Old Victorian Fund now stands.
After some discussion it was agreed that Branches should send to the Headmaster by the middle of May their suggestions for a constitution for the Old Victorians' Association. He would discuss these with Branch Representatives on the morning of Grand Day so that a draft constitution could be circulated to Branches and Members before the end of 1970. Agreement would be sought at the Annual General Meeting in March, 1971, to a constitution for the Association.
It was proposed by Mr A. Bulloch and seconded by Mr J. Quinn that the name should be retained as

Old    Victorians'   Association.    This   was   carried unanimously.
8.     Mr Black asked the Committee to write to Mr Andrew Duncan, The Lodge, Compton House, Drem, North Berwick, East Lothian, congratulating him on reaching his 90th birthday. The Headmaster undertook to do this.
9.     The Headmaster was requested to arrange in good time for a young Old Victorian to take the Salute at the March Past in future years, preferably one who is serving, so that he may wear his uniform. The Headmaster agreed to do this and to give the lesson-reader more notice in future.
10.    There being no further business to discuss, the meeting closed at 12.55 p.m.
