Terminal Reports by Ximenes
Across
1, 6. Has been a monkey; one seldom sees him take real pains; has to be sat on most of the term (7,5)
10, 11. Rather a rough boy - not a bad hand at Art. Must not go unclothed; it causes explosions (10,9)
13, 15. Has been a most useful member of society: has done capital work in C block; never in hot water (5,6)
16, 18. An enigma; can only be got at through a variegated layer of shyness and rudeness. Must show respect to his seniors in the house (6,3)
19, 20. Wilting; is not really forceful. One must be sure new monitors aren't 'flappers', down under stress (8,8)
23, 25. A born leader of men - excellent! Useful at cricket: his bowling run-up should be shortened (3,6)
27, 28. Worthier of trust, though seen stealing once. Vigorous at games: impenetrably stupid (6,5)
29, 31. Has the look of a bit of a shrimp, but tries incredibly hard at Latin, once roused. One of the marbles team (9,10)
32, 33. If he is treated well, gets uppish and pompous, a tendency to be checked if he becomes a parson (5,7)
Down
1, 2. Queenie looks pasty because of her exam, magnifying difficulties. When she takes it in May, Queenie must show more aplomb (5,10)
3, 4. Matron:- Carol is a little beast, dishonest, a habitual liar - my solitary grounds for complaint (6,8)
5, 6. Sci:- Carol ought not to drink from a test tube. In short, Carol is often tiresome (3,6)
7, 8. Dorothy, one knows, is sweet: can she curb her inclination to suppose her betters at games cheat ? (5,9)
9, 12. When Agatha's former companionship stops we may discern a notable improvement. Sea bathing:- Good (7,10)
14, 17. Margaret is our choral ex-secretary. Musical work:- In a prefect crooning is undignified (9,8)
18, 21. Mary has given signs of getting a grasp of Art at times: she is knocking on the door of success (7,6)
22, 24. Results no longer what we expect: if Ursula is serious, she can land some very big fish ! (6,5)
26, 30. If Penny elected to work in the French school, her fine start would not be wasted (5,3)
