Descriptive text from separate pages at the back which cannot be supplied (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)
"HOCKEY ON THE HOUSETOP."
"Dulce est desipere in loco "is one of the many Latin phrases which it is the privilege of the schoolboy to learn while he is at school, and his practice to forget within a month after learning it. It may be roughly translated: "It is a good thing to have a good time in the best available place." London, alas! like most other great cities, is not as well provided with playgrounds as it ought to be; and the scholars of the St. Paul's Cathedral Choir School, whom we here see represented, lack the airy playing fields which are the pride of many a country school. But "where there's a will there's a way," and the leads of the school building in Carter Lane have been made to do duty in default of better accommodation. Doubtless many a good game has been played, and will yet be played, under the shadow of the great Cathedral.
