BY OUR SPORTSMASTER
I am glad that the "Young Hindu" is being published and I am in a position to give my report on the physical activities of my school for the year 1945 to our readers. Cricket
Cricket in Jaffna has been on the decline. The Jaffna Schools Sports Association which conducted the Inter-Collegiate Cricket Competition suspended this competition for the duration of the war and as a result cricket enthusiasm among the students has definitely deteriorated. We, however, were able to play a few friendly matches with some colleges. We fared well in these matches. I heartily thank the colleges that gave us the fixtures. The J. S. S. A. is organising the cricket competition next year and we hope to do very well, Athletics
The Annual Inter-House Athletic Competition was held in June. Keen rivalry and enthusiasm prevailed among the various Houses. Pasupathy House emerged as champions for the second year in succession. Our congratulations to Pasu. pathy House.
We have no laurels to boast of nor any remarkable achievem ment in the Jaffna Inter-Collegiate Athletic Sports Meet held in August. We had to be content with a 5th place among the eleven colleges that participated. Special mention should be
made of S. Balasundaram the college athletic captain who obtained the second places in the 100 yds, and in the long jump.
We expect much from this young athlete next season. Our congratulations to St. John's College on winning their Athletic Championship for the 2nd year in succession. Football
It gives me a great pleasure to give a report of our achievements in Football this year. Our Inter. House Soccer

Page 2
Competition resulted in the Senior Championship going to Casipillai House and the Junior Championship to Selvadurai House. I extend my congratulations to these Houses on their wins.
I am very proud to record the brilliant performances of the College First and Second Teams who have once again annexed the Inter. Collegiate Championships. Since the commencement of the season, both elevens did splendidly and emerged as champions in their respective groups.
Our first team won four matches and drew one of the five matches played in their group while our second team won all their four matches in their group without conceding even a single goal.
It is interesting to note that our Second Team has figured in the Finals ever since the inception of tournament in 1941, annexing the Championship in 1942 and 1944 and becoming the Runners-up in 1941 and 1943, Our second team deserves special congratulations on entering the finals for the fifth year in succession, and on winning the championship thrice. This is an unique performance in the history of the Jaffna Schools Second Eleven Soccer.
Our first team who were Joint-champions in 1937, and Champions in 1941, 1942 and 1943, regained their Championship this year. St. Henry's College should be congratulated on sharing the First Team Championship with our Eleven. It is worth mentioning that since 1934, when matches were first played on the J. S. S. A. Neutral Grounds, our College has won the championship five times, St. Patrick's and Jaffna College four times each, and Jaffna Central and St. Henry's once, each. Our College is the only one to hold three successive First Team Championships in the history of the Jaffna Inter-Collegi. ate First Eleven Soccer. In conclusion, let me offer my heartiest congratulations to our captains and the members of our First and Second Teams on their splendid achievements, I hope that they will maintain their high reputation in the years to come.
Well done, boys!
I should like to thank the various gentlemen, particularly Mr. V. Ramakrishnan, who have helped me in more ways than one I should not fail to express my grateful thanks to
Messrs. Ponnambalam and Thurairajah, two of our Old Boys, who invited our teams to a dinner at the Jaffna Rest-House in honour

of their winning the Championships, and to our Old Boys' Ass0ciation for entertaining our teams at a garden party.
I give below in brief the descriptions of our matches and pen-pictures of the First and Second Teams,
OUR SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES Jaffna Hindu. Vs. Sithampara Vidyalaya-29th Sept., 1945.
This was our first Inter-Collegiate match and we were very confident of beating the opponents easily. The game was dull, uninteresting and one-sided. Our forwards were able to penetrate the defences of the opponents without much difficulty. We defeated them comfortaby by 4 goals to nil.
Mr. A. R. Rajanayagam refereed. Jaffna Hindu rs, Hartley College—6th October 1945.
• Our second opponents were Hartley College. This was the first match for the latter. We were able to judge the standard of our opponents only when the match was in progress. Our forwards combined splendidly and at half-time we were leading by 2–0. During the second-half, the match was interesting with pressing on both sides. Our team was only able to add one more goal. We left the field with another comfortable victory by 3-0
Mr. R. S. Cumaraswamy refereed. Jaffna Hindu vs Jaffna College-19th October 1945
Our third match was against Jaffna College who were Jointe Champions last year. A comparatively large crowd was present to witness the match. Our team entered the field with the determination to do well. A few minutes after the start of the match, a free-kick was awarded against cur opponents in the centre of the field. Our Right-extreme, Ehamparam, directed it right into the opponents' goal. This score elevated the spirits of our team, and soon afterwards, our forwards scored another goal, the credit for which is due to the clean heading of our Right-in, Mahadevan. Thus at half-time we were leading by 2-0. During the next half the game was very fast and both sides pressed very hard, and the match was more or less balanced on both sides. No goals were scored during the second half. The final-whistle saw Jaffna Hindu beat Jaffna College by 2-0.
Mr. R. S. Cumaraswamy refereed.

Jaffna Hindu vs Manipay Hindu-26th October 1945
Our fourth encounter was Manipay Hindu,. The match was not very interesting but at half time we were leading by 2-1. During the next-half of play, our Centre-forward, Ratnagopal exhibited his best. He scored three goals by his sharp headings. The match ended in an easy victory to our team by 5–1.
Mr. A. R. Rajanayagam refereed. Jaffna Hindu vs. Parameshvara–7th November 1945.
Our last match in our group was with Parameshvara College who had proved themselves invincible during their earlier matches. They were undoubtedly our strongest opponents. Ratnagopal, our Centre-forward, was unable to play in this match. The match was fast, interesting and exciting from the very beginning to the end. Both teams pressed harder but our forwards were unable to overcome the defences of our opponents. The unavoidable absence of Ratnagopal was deeply felt when the match was in progress. During the second-half the game was even and no goals were scored cn either side when the final whistle was blown. Our team had to be satisfied with a draw. Parameshvara College should be congratulated on the strong defence they put up against our team.
Mr. R. Rajaratnam refereed.
CUR JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES Jaffna Hindu vs Jaffna College-4th October 1945
This was our first mateh in the Inter-Collegiate Competition, and our players were excited. The opponents pressed hard during the first-half. The defence of our eleven showed good promise. Special mention should be made of the game played by the Centre-half, Navaratnarajah, and the Left Full-back, Kailanathan. A few minutes before the close of the first-half our Captain, Balasundaram, netted the first goal. In the next-half, our Inside Left, Kandiah and the Outside-right, Vasiddan added two
more goals. We left the field with a victory by 3–0.
Mr. R. S. Cumaraswamy refereed. Jaffna Hindu vs St. Henry's College--17th October 1945.
This match was easier than the first match. The game was one-sided and during the first-half, Vasiddan and our

Captain scored two goals each, Soon after resumption of play, our Inside-right, Balachandran scored the fifth and last goal. Once again our defence was tested with perfect satisfaction. Our new Left-half, Sivapragasam played well. The match ended in a very comfortable victory by 5-0.
E Mr. R. J. Thuraira jah refereed. Jaffna Hindu vs Hartley College-24th October 1945.
This match was also a very easy one for our eleven. Our forwards combined beautifully and scored half-a-dozen goals. The match was uninteresting and one-sided. Had our players been more careful, they might have added more goals. We had to leave the field with an easy 6-0 win.
Mr. S. Vanniasingham refereed. Jaffna Hindu vs, Parameshvara—2nd November 1945.
Our last encounter in our group was with Parameshvara College who were our keenest rivals. The match was dull during the earlier part, but the interest increased with the scoring of goals. The forwards played well, and scored five goals. The scorers were our Captain, Centre half and Outsiderright. Thus our last match resulted in another easy win for our team by 5-0.
Mr. S. Jeremiah refereed.
OUR FIRST ELEVEN FINAL MATCH Jaffna Hindu vs. Et Henry's College--17th November 1945.
In the First Eleven Finals, our team met St. Henry's College who were leaders in the other group. A crowd of over 5,000 was present to witness the match. During the first-half no goals were scored on either side and our forwards missed many golden opportunities. Soon after resumption of play the Outside-left of St. Henry's sent a powerful shot right into oux goal. Our custodian failed to save it. Then our team woke up and both teams pressed harder and harder. Time was passing away and the attacks of our forwards were shattered by the opponents, Their Goal-keeper exhibited his best in this
match. Just five minutes before the final whistle, Ratnagopal receiving a low pass from Ehamparam, made no mistake in finding a corner of the net. Further raids by our forwards failed to bear fruit and the final whistle found the match result. ing in a draw, each side having scored a goal. Thus Jaffna Hindų

Page 4
College and St. Henry's College became Joint-Champions. St. Henry's College deserves our praise for giving us a hard-fought match resulting in a well-earned Joint-Championship.
Mr. S. Vanniasingham refereed.
OUR SECOND ELEVEN FINAL MATCH Jaffna Hindu vs Kokuvil Hindu –17th November 1945.
Our opponents in the finals were Kokuvil Hindu, who had been Finalists with us in 1942 too. Our Second eleven played without their captain, Balasundaram who had been promoted to the First Team, just before this match. His absence and the consequent change in positions made in the forward line was the main reason for our failing to do brilliantly. During the first half, the attacks of our opponents' forwards were repulsed by our defence. Our forwards failed to combine owing to the absence of their pivot, and the change in their positions. At halftiine no goals were scored on either side. In the middle of the next half. Vasiddan and Logeswaran exchanged positions and our forwards began to score goals. Almost immediately after this change, Vasiddan, Outside-right received a pass from Balachandran, Inside-right and made no mistake in converting it into a goal. Within two or three minutes, Logeswaran, our new Centre forward received a pass from Vasiddan and shot a goal. Our forwards once again raided the opponents in beatiful combination, and Kandiah, the Inside-left converted another pass from Vasiddan into the third and last goal. The final whistle saw us emerge once again as Champions after defeating Kokuvil Hindu by 3-0,
Mr. A. R. Rajanayagam refereed.

Their second match was against Jaffna Hindu College Eleven. Our team entered the field with two changes, Tharmalingam replaced R. Visuvanathan as Inside left and K. Chandrapalan played as Left Full-back instead of A. Nagarajah.
The match commenced at 4-30 p. m. in the presence of a large crowd. Our team showed their, mettle in this match. This was the most exciting and thrilling match, played this year on the J. S. S. A. Grounds, Just ten minutes after the commence
ment of the play, Tharmalingam our new Inside-left, converted a corner kick into a goal with a sharp heading With this inspiration our forwards showed their best and harassed the defence of the opponents, Ratnagopal, the Centre-forward, made no mistake in converting a free-kick just outside the penalty area into a wellearned goal. Our opponents now pressed harder and scored one goal. Later Ratnagopal, receiving a pass from the left, made no mistake in finding a corner of the net. During the close of the first-half our Inside-right sent a powerful long shot which went under the legs of the opponent's goalie, Thus at half-time we
were leading by 4-1.
In the next half the Harlequins entered the field with the determination to play their best, Our team also went in
with a similar determination and confidence, Soon after re. sumption of play Harlequins scored two goals in quick succession, Our players now decided to defend to their utmost and all the the raids of the Harlequins' forwards were successfully repulsed. The match became more thrilling, exciting and interesting. Harlequins tried their best to score at least on equaliser but all to no avail. The final whistle saw Jaffna Hindu defeat the tourists by the odd goal in seven.
A member of the Harlequins S. C. refereed
OUR SPORTSMASTER—An Appreciation
BY "INNER' For seve. al years "The Young Hindu" has been publishing news about our brilliant performances in sports but perhaps because our Sports Master is rodest, very little has appeared about him. It is altogether fitting and proper that our teams should deserve a prominent place, but our unselfish and popular Sports.

11
master should have at least a little corner in this issue—a Football Championships number.
Mr, Thiagarajah is one of the most popular Old Boys of this College and is deservedly a member of the Committee of the Old Boys' Association. It must however be admitted that it was at St. John's College, that he shone as a 'star sportsman', where he represented that College in Cricket, Athletics and Football. In Cricket he was a gcod batsman, in football a star attraction and in Athletics, a Senior Inter-Collegiate Champion. He was also a cadet and scout. Jaffna Hindu College has been very fortunate in getting him as Sportsmaster, and the Principal should be congratulated on having selected such an able man, with unerring judgement, eight years ago.
Since Mr. Thiagara jah joined us, our College has earned a reputation in sports. We have been runners-up in the Jaffna Inter-Collegiate Athletic Competition more than once. Our First and Second Soccer Teams have been champions or runners-up in Football, more often than my inemory recollects.
As a man, he is polite, never unfair, or rude, whether it be towards superiors, equals or inferiors--in fact he is a gentleman. He is extremely popular with the general public, and with the old boys in Jaffna, Colombo and elsewhere. His character has won a high regard and esteem ameng the students.
Our Sportsmaster is the only man to serve as the Honorary Secretary of the Jaffna Schools Sports Association for four successive years. It was during his term of office as Secretary of the J. S. S. A. that its constitution was drafted and printed. As the popular Secretary of the J. S. S. A during the past four years, he has done much for Sports in Jaffna and it is remarkable to note how efficiently he has been manipulating such a large amount of work, He knows how to get things done, I was very much pleased to find that the various arrangements he made on the J. S. S. A. Grounds were excellent in spite of the many hardships that confronted him.
I do not like to use much space but I would like to point out that my pen name "Inner'" does not mean that I am one of the "Inner Circle" nor does it mean that I belong to an Inn; it means that I have always liked to play as an ‘Inner' in football-cas a Left-in, to be exact. May our Sports Master live long to render his valuable services to Jaffna Hindu
College !

An Appreciation of our Second Team
BY "SPECTATOR'; There is only one team in Jaffna at present that deserves a high place in the history of Jaffna School Football; that team is Jaffna Hindu College Second Eleven Football Team, one of the most brilliant present day soccer elevens in Jaffna that came into the limelight in 1944 and 1945. The team should be proud of the fact that they won the championship without conceding a single goal. No other team in Jaffna could boast of such an unique achievement. In the five matches they played to win the championship this year they scored 22 goals with not a single goal scored against them. The results of the matches indi. cate the soundness of the defence and the brilliance of the attack of the team. This eleven accomplished a memorable record last year of 22 goa's in one match which no other team in Jaffna is capable of equalling in the near (or distant) future. They are also holding the second eleven record for the season scoring six goals against Hartley College.
"An Ex-Editor's Congratulations"
The following is the text of a letter of congratulations received by our Sportsmaster from "an Ex-editor of "The Young
Hindu" now resident at Colombo Fort.
Oh, ye ablest Director of Sport! Penning these lines from Colombo Forte
How proud I feel my pen to hold To honour thee for thy V-Two Fold Sure it was you, ablest guide,
Which made Hindu earn a name so wide! In Bala and Ranga you have instilled Your ability so well distilled Convey your teams my very best For the grand show in the Champion Test
With you once more my hands I shake For the Soccer Team of Thiagu-make.

THE (OUNG HINDU
DECEMBER, 1945.
FROM THE EDITOR'S PEN.
AFTER A LAPSE OF ONE YEAR "THE YOUNG HINDU" is being published to greet and entertain our readers. The delay in publication is not due to any fault of ours, but to the acute shortage of paper caused by the war.
We offer no apology for making this issue a Football Championship Number. This issue has been so named as it contains mainly matter connected with football. We thank our sportsmaster and other contributors for sending in their items at a comparatively short notice, thus enabling us to issue this magazine before we close for the year-end holidays. Although we received a good number of articles with a notice of only four days, we have been forced to reject some of them owing to pressure of space and not because they were found unsuitable for publication.
We are very proud of having won the Dual Championship once again. We thank our Old Boys and well wishers who sent us messages of congratulations. We heartily congratulate the Sportsmaster, the Captains and the members of the two teams on their brilliant performance.
In sports, studies and other activities we have continued to make steady progress as usual. The Jaffna Hindu Ladies College which occupied the temporary premises since its establishment in 1943 has been shifted to the permanent premises.

"THE YOUNG HINDU" DURING THE WAR
BY THE EDITOR Since the Second World War has come to a close it is now possible to give our readers a brief history of "The Young Hindu" during the war. The readers will be interested to know how our magazine survived the war.
When the war broke out in September 1939 “The Young Hindu” was flourishing as fortnightly publication of the students of Jaffna Hindu College, with its orginal size of 71x94 ins. In march 1940 the size of our magazine was increased to 8; by 107 ins. The number of pages was 16 as usual. The Jaffna Hindu College Golden Jubilee number of the magazine appeared on April 10th 1945 with 32 pages and contained many portraits. Form this time the journal continued as a monthly publication with the same size and pages till August 1941 when the Prize-Giving number was issued.
From the first number of the seventh volume, published in September 1941, the size of the magazine was made 57x87 ins with 32 pages. This size is followed even now, The first Football Championship number was issued in January 1942, and the second Football Championship number was published in December 1942.
In 1943, the acute paper shortage that affected-all the newspapers, magazines etc. made us issue only two magazines, the first in April and the other in December. The number

17
| of pages was reduced to 20. Last year only one magazine was
issued in December with 20 pages.
The ruthless war has come to an end and this year our magazine | has been published with an increased number of pages with the improvement in the paper control, I hope the students and the College authorities will take all necessary steps to convert this magazine gradually back into a fortnightly publication. If this
is not possible early next year, I hope that "a carnival number" | will be published next year.
CARNIVALS IN JAFFNA
BY V. M. D. JUNIOR H. S. C. The Jaffna Public have witnessed three grand carnivals so far, and three more have been fixed for 1946.
It was only about a decade ago, when the Frst Grand Carnival and Exhibition was held on the St. Patrick's College Grounds on the occasion of their Jubilee Celebrations. It was a very great success.
- The second was the All-Ceylon Industrial Rally and Carni. val held in May 1940 on the Jaffna Hindu College Grounds, in connection with the Jaffna Hindu College Golden Jubilee Celebrations. This was also a grand success, and a profit of over
Rs. 10 000 was realised.
The third was the Jaffna's Answer Carnival and Exhibition in aid of the Jaffna send-a-plane Fund held in May–June 1941 on the St Patrick's College Grounds. A profit of about Rs. 30,000 was made.
| Parameshvara College will hold the first carnival next year to celebrate their Silver Jubilee. It will take place during the Easter Holidays.
Jaffna Hindu College will hold an All-Ceylon Industrial Rally and Carnival in aid of the Jaffna Hindu College and Jaffna Ladies' College Funds.
* The third Carnival will be held at Mahajana College, Tellipallai, on the occasion of their Silver Jubilee. It will synchronize with the Maviddapuram Kandaswamy Temple Festivals.
We learn that St. Patrick's College are making arrangements to hold a carnival in May 1947

THE YEAR 1945 !
BY V. MAHADEVAN, University Entrance (Jnr.)
1945 has given at last a great relief to the war-torn world. This year will go down to history as one of the famous years of the twentieth century. Many remarkable, events took place in Ceylon and abroad during this year,
The mighty and aggressive Germany which declared the Second World war on 1st September 1939 surrendered uncondi. tionally to the allied powers on 7th May 1945. The "V E Day" was celebrated with great pomp and ceremony and there was world wide rejoicing on this great occasion. It is a pity to note that the greatest President of U S. A. and a great allied war leader, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was able to live to see this inemorable day. He died to the regret of the United Nations on April 12th His worthy successor President Harry Truman followed the policy of his predecessor and brought the war to a victorious conclusion.
The Japan, the Asiatic agressor and the only surviving axis power, surrendered on satisfactory terms to the allied on 15th August. The ‘V. J Day was celebrated with more festivities. The first Treaty was signed fifteen days later. The inmediate causes of the defeat of Japan, were the entry of Russia in the Far Eastern War and the inestimable destruction caused by atom bombs on two of Japan's famous cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The miserab'e fall of the Conservatives in the British General Election held in July, and the formation of a Labour Gov. ernment commanding a clear majority in the House of Commons, for the first time in the history of the British Parliament, were remarkable happenings in Great Britain. Later the United Nations charter was brought official'y into existence. It is regretful to note that tere is difference of opinion and misunderstanding, among the "Big Five" regarding the future peace of the world. The break-down of the Fo:eign Ministers' Conference bears testimony to this fact. In India the "Wavell Proposals" and the break down of the Simla Conference' owing to the unchanging and selfish attitude of the Muslim Leader, Mr. Jinnah, are important events. The Indonesian Revolution, the Civil
War in China, the Jewish Troubles in Palestine and the revolts in Persia are other important events removing unsettled.

19
In Ceylon, the introduction of Free Education from the Kindergarten to the University and the Publication of the Soulbury Proposals are the two main events, with which our readers are quite converrant. There is no sign yet of an early removal of Food, Textile and other Controls.
All these events show, why 1945 is a great year during the present century. We should not view the events of 1945 with utter dismay and dissatisfaction as we looked upon the happenings of the previous years. I hope the problems that were either created in 1945 o': those that remain unsettled will become settled in 1946. If the various controls that prevail ih Ceylon are not removed, I hope there will be at least some relaxation of them.
CONGRATULATIONS!

The debates attained a very high standard and was a great encouragement to us and other associations of our College.
The most important event of the year was the reform of our Constitution Receiving an impetus from the Reforins of the Ceylon constitution we too changed our constitution. The main features of the amended constitution of the association are, the Board of Ministers and the Privy Council.

The J. H. C. Historical and Civic Association
I have great pleasure in submitting to "The Young Hindu'" my review of the work done by the Association in 1945. The number of meetings held this year is a record in the history of the Association and remarkably steady progress was made especially during the third term
During the period under review, two general meetings, two meetings of the committee of management and nine ordinary meetings were held. The first meeting of the year was held in March, when Mr. W. Dahanayake, Member of the State Council, delivered a highly instructive and interesting lecture on "The Impending Constitution of Ceylon". Soon afterwards the Second Annual General Meeting of the Association was held. Then no meetings were held till the next General Meeting which was held in August.
With the departure of the Senior President, Mr. N. Mylvaganam, B. A. (Hons.) in the middle of the year, the association was dormant for sometime. After a few weeks, a General Meeting was held on 2nd August and the Patron, our Principal presided. The following were elected office-bearers for the ensuing halfyear:-
Senior President:
Mr. S. Jayaveerasingham, B, A, (Hons.) Junior President: Mas, P. Kailanathan Junior Vice-President: , J. Sithamparanathan General Secretary:
» V. Mahadevan Assistant Secretary
& Treasurer; , N. Balasubramaniam
A committee of management consisting of five members was also elected. Mas. P. Kailanathan resigned soon afterwards and Mas, R. Visuvanathan was elected to succeed him.
During my term of office as Secretary, ten meetings were held of which two were meetings of the management committee.
We are very grateful to the following for having kindly addressed our association;

The Senior Lyceum
This year the Senior Lyceum held more meetings than during the past years. Our president Mr. Jeyaveerasingam, did his utmost to bring it to a success. The students were given freedom of speech, and they elected their own chairmen to preside over the meetings.
We had many debates, but owing to the lack of transport facilities we were unable to request other schools to come down and have debate with cur Lyceum members. We proposed to have a concert at the end of the first term, but owing to unavoid.

27
able circumstances, we gave up the idea at the last moment. Our sincere thanks are due to our Patron, the Principal, to our President and to all the present and past members for their kind and devoted services to the Lyceum,
T. K. RATNA MAHESAN,
Hony Secretary.
The Junior Lyceum The chief aims of the Junior Lyceum are to train and help its members to learn the art of public speaking, and to acquire a knowledge of constitutional procedure.
The association holds its meetings every Monday. Twentyfour meetings were held this year of which six were conducted in Tamil.
The following subjects were debated during the year: (i) The profession of a teacher is better than that of a
doctor. (ii) The demand for a balance of power in the Executive
and Legislature is reasonable. (iii)
Communism is better than Capitalism. (iv) Young men should not be given dowries. (V) Capital punishment should be abolished. (vi) By the immigration of Indians the Ceylonese are de
prived of their wealth. (vii)
By the abolition of the caste systein, the people will be benefited. There are great advantages to be gained by the intro
duction of Free Education. I should thank the following teachers who delivered leclures:
Mr. V. Ramakrishnan on 'Students' Behaviour' Mr. V. Balasundaram on 'Politics and Religion' Mr. S. Jeyaweerasingham on 'Political development in

H. S. C. Hostellers Union
As Secretary, it is my pleasant duty to submit a review of the activities of the Union in 1945.
There were seventeen members in all. Nineteen meetings in English and six meetings in Tamil were held during the year. The members showed keen interest and great enthusiasm in the
meetings. The Union was fortunate in having a set of eloquent and witty speakers. Lectures on useful topics were delivered. Interesting debates were also held and these debates attained a very high standard, and were an encouragement to the members and also set an example to the other unions at the Hostel. The subjects debated were–Free Education, Mother Tongue in Education, Party System of Government etc.
A picnic to Keerimalai was also organised where the members spent a memorable day.
In conclusion, I wish to thank all office-bearers and the other members, who have helped me to conduct the affairs of the Union successfully.
P. KAILANATHAN,
Hony. Secretary.
The Senior Hostellers Atheneum It is with great pleasure that I submit the report of the above association. The period under review saw new figures directing the association in the persons of Messrs S, V. Balasingham, B. A HONS. (LOND). N. Mylvaganam, B. A, HONS. (LOND.) V. Ramakrishnan, B. A., B. Sc, (HONS) and K. S. Subramaniam, our Boarding Master. The first and the second of these have, tó our great regret, left us, the former filling a prominent place in a Sister College, and the other as Labour Inspector, Colombo, Both have left their names ever recorded in the hearts of the hostellers. Mr. V. Ramakrishnan, succeeding Mr. N. Mylvaganam, took a prominent part in the general welfare of the hostellers and Mr. K. S. Subramaniam, our present Boarding Master, is the President now.
A new feature of the period under review is the introduction of freshers. The association holds weekly meetings on Tuesdays

29
for a period of about an hour. Speeches, lively debates and
discussions on various topics form the chief items.
I should not fail to thank our President and the members of the association, who have cooperated with me to make it a great success.
M. V. SIVAGNANAM,
Hony Secretary.
ATOMIC ENERGY BY K. SUNTHARALINGAM, S. S. C.
Doom to coal and oil! The atomic age has begun. The World must be thankful to the scientists who were responsible for harnessing this mighty energy. This mighty energy used first as a destructive weapon destroyed two well built cities of Japan and killed a large population. As a result it brought the Eastern War to a sudden end.
The American and the British scientists who are retaining its secret are now working to harness this energy and use it for industrial purposes. The initial cost of harnessing this energy is so great that only the great powers would be in a position to harness this energy as soon as possible for industrial purposes. Countries like Switzerland, Holland and Italy must wait till the energy is
made cheap. It may take years to find out a proper method of producing this energy on a commercial scale.
The energy produced is so great that an ounce of substance if completely transformed into energy would boil 800,000 tons of water. Planes driven with this energy would be able to travel thousands of miles without refuelling.
As a driving power it excels any other power known to man. At first coal and oil stood as the only driving powers. With the development of electricity mankind has been benefitted much. In Ceylon we haven't yet used the cheap hydo-electric power.
We are now working on a scheme to electrify the whole island, Our country being a suppressed one, the application of many

Page 16
30
modern inventions is either denied or delayed. In the case of atomic energy too, we shall be late in getting it. The coming atomic energy would replace even the miraculous electricity.
The atomic energy would enable capitalistic countries like America and Britain to produce not twice, not four-fold but something like a hundred-fold. As a rerult of their mass production their cheap articles would flood the world markets. Small countries like Ceylon would have only the doubtful advantage of buying these cheap goods.
At present planes flying to a long distance must carry a heavy load of oil. But with atomic energy planes would fly faster and they would be able to be in the air for days or even
months together without refuelling. In speed the jet-propelled and the liquid gas driven planes would be defeated. These long range planes would in course of time be able to visit planets like Mars. Planes carrying mails and goods from London would be able to reach Colombo in two or three hours.
The land vehicles using this energy would be able to travel with high speed but the speed would be controlled to a great extent to avoid accidents in populous areas. The speed of the ships, however would probably not be restricted. Goods from various countries would be distributed throughout the World in a short time,
In general you can say that there might be another Industrial Revolution which would bring about even greater changes than the last Industrial Revolution. This revolution like the first would produce unemployment. Vast amount of capital invested in coal and oil mines would not be regained. The coal mines would be given up and the unemployed population would increase by millions, Planned production and reducticn of the number of working hours will be the only solution to solve unemployment.
Man has a wonderful brain, and he is learning to use it more and more. The coming atomic age would give him much leisure and comport.

31 RUSSIA
BY T. ARULAMPALAM, S. S. C.
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics called Russia for the sake of convenience is in fact the most advanced country in the world. What she has achieved in the last twenty five years in unique. The founder of modern Russia is Lenin. The Marxist Revolution has revolutionised the world more than any other revolution.
Before the revolution the common people lived the most miserable lives. The Nobles were living luxuriously on the fruits of the peasant's toil. The peasants were forced to work till death. They starved and suffered the worst.
In 1917 the tide turned. The Nobles were massacred in "toto and the Tzar was overthrown. The common people became
their own masters. Today the government in Russia is the Com
munist government. Communism is Equality of opportunity and economic freedom; no single man is allowed to exploit another. Exploitation is one making use of another as a tool for his own benefit. The Russian labourers do not work for a capitalist to gain money. They share the fruits of their labour among themselves. No one works for more than six hours a day. Every Russian has economic freedom. He lives a full life with. out any fear of want or anxiety about the future.
The labourers work for the State. Intellectual people do officerwork for the State. Soldiers fight for the State. But they are all equal.
Education is absolutely free, All children are given equality of opportunity to rise up as they ought to, As soon as a child is born the state, takes charge of him, nurses him and educates him. After a certain standard if he is intelligent, he will be sent for higher studies. If otherwise, he is put in the practical school and trained as an agriculturist or other worker. So a peasant's son may become an engineer and an officer's son a worker. Respect is paid to one's ability and not to his heredity.

Page 17
32
Money is not the first consideration in Russia. Black market and profiteering are unheard of. Living full and contented lives without starvation and anxiety about the future are the ideals. There are more doctors in Russia than in any other country in proportion to the population. Illiteracy is very much reduced. More money is spent on the backward Caucasians and lies on the advanced Ukranians. Proper nutritious food is distributed among all.
The legislature is formed by elected representatives. The public is consulted in all resolutions. Of course there is dictator Stalin to prevent any disorder. The ideas that the Government is a tyranny under Stalin is untrue. He is given some extra powers to enforce the principles of communism.
There are 126 communities speaking 90 different languages; yet they live like brothers without any communal strife or conflict.

அட்டா மி ய அ ட் டூ ழி ய ம்
(BY. T. சொக்கலிங் கம், Varsity Entrance) கலியுகத்தோர் யாவரும் எதிர்பாராதவிதமாக இக்கொடிய யுத்தத்தை முடிவுசெய்த அட்டாமியப்பேயே! உன்னை அடியேன் வணங்குகிறேன். உன்னுடன் சற்றுநேரம் பேசலாமென்றால் என் மனம் பயத்தினால் பதறுகிறது, ஏ பேயே! தயவு செய்து என்னை ஆழிபாமல் என்னுடன் சிறிது நேரம் பேசுவாயா? இப்படியாக நான் பயப்படுவதையும் என து ஆவலையும் அறிந்த அட்டாமியப் பேய் சற்று என்னை உற்று நோக்கிவிட்டு, ''அடே மானிடா! நீ என்னுடன் பேசவேண்டியவற்றை எல்லாம் பேசலாம்; பயப் படாதே; என து கோபமும் வேகமும் இப்பொழுது குறைந்திருக் கிற து. ஆகையால் சீக்கிரம் கதைக்கவேண்டியவற்றை கதைத்து முடித்துவிடு, என்றது. முகச் சந்தோஷத்துடனும் மனப்பயத்துட னும் "'படபட' வென்று என் தேகம் நடுங்க ''சொர சொர"வென எனது வாயைத் திறந்து என் உதடுகள் நடுநடுங்க என் உள்ளத் தைக்கூற ஆரம்பித்தேன்.
"அண்ணா அட்டூழியமே!'' நீ இக்கலியுகத்திற்கு வந்து ஒரு வருடமாகவிலலையே, ஆனால் எவ்விதமாக சீக்கிரத்தில் முழு உலகை யும் ஆளும் சக்தி உனக்கு கிடைத்தது என்பது யாரும் திகைக்கக் கூடியே காரியமே. இது எல்லாமிருக்க நீ செய்த பெரிய உதவியை நான் எப்படி மறப்பேன். எப்பொழுது அரிசிக்கூப்பன் நீக்கப்படும்; தீபாவளிக்கு திறம் பிடவை எப்பொழுது வேண்டலாம்; என்று யோசித்துக் கொண்டிருந்த என் மனதுக்குச் சரியான பதிலையும் ஆறுதலையும் கொடுத்தாய் உன் உதவியால் ஒரு வாரத்துள் ஜப்பானி யப் போர்வீரர்கள் தமது ஆயு தங்களை எறிந்துவிட்டு பிரித்தானிய ரிடம் சரண்புகுந்தனர், நானும் எப்போ ''* V. J. Day"க்காக இரண்டுநாள் விடுதலை கிடைக்கும் என்று காத்திருந்த எனக்கு ஆனந்தத்தைக் கொடுத்தாய், அதுமட்டோ! என் கல்லூரி மாண வர்களையும், உபாத்தியாயர்களையும் கூட சந்தோஷம் கொண்டாடச் செய்தாய் ''சடுகு சிறித யினும் காரம் பெரிது" என்பதை நிரூபித் தாய். உன்னோடு ஒத்துப்பார்க்கும்போது வீமனுடைய தண்டாயு தத்தின் புகழ் எங்கே? அருச்சுனனின் பாசுபதாஸ்திரம் எங்கே? கர்ணனின் நாகாஸ்திரம் எங்கே? இவைகளெல்லாம் உன்னைக் கண் டதும் பயத்தினால் மறைந்துவிட்டன போலும், அதுபோல உன்னு டைய பலத்தை அடக்கி வீழ்த்த இன்னுமொரு ஆயுதம் கண்ட வுடன் உன் கெதி என்னவாகும்? வல்லவனுக்கேற்ற வல்லவனிருப் பான் என்பதை மறவாதே. உன்னை நினைத்துப் புகழாதே, அகங் காரம் கொள்ளாதே, எத்தனை உயிர்களை உனக்கு இரையாக்கினாய்?

39
எல்லோரையும் கைலாசம் அனுப்பினாய் போ லும், மனிதனை அங்க மங்கமாய் சிதறச்செய் தாய், எத்தனை மாடமாளிகைகளையும் கூட கோபுரங்களையும் அழித்தாய் நிலத்திற்குப் பாவம் செய்வித்தாய். புல்லு, செடி, மரம், பயிர் முதலியவற்றை வளர்க்காதே என்று நிலங்களுக்கு உத்தரவிட்டாய், இரத்தக்கடலைப் பார்க்க உனக்கு ஆசையா? உன்னைக் கண்டுபிடித்த மானிடமூளை செய்த தவம் வீணா? இனிமேலாவது நீ இரங்கலாகாதா?
நிலக்கரிச் சக்தி, மின்சாரசகதி. (பெற்றேள்' சக்தி முதலிய வற்றை ஒதுக்கிவிட்ட வீரச் சிங்கம் நீயல்லவா? உனது ஆண்மை யே ஆண்மை இன்னும் உனது சக்தி குறையவில்லையே. மானிட னும் உன்னோடு சேர்ந்து விளையாடுகிறான். உன் உதவியினால் சந்திர, செவ்வாய் மண்டலங்களுக்கு விஜயம் செய்ய முயற்சிக்கிறார்கள். உனக்கும் அப்பாக்கியம் கிடைத்துவி டுமா? த வசிகளுக்கே கிடை யாத பாக்கியம் உனக்கா கிடைப்பது?
வருணபகவானையும் உன் மூலமாய் வேண்டியநேரம் கீழே கொண்டுவரப்போகிறார்களாம். உனக்கேன் வீண் ஆசை? பிர தம 'கலைவல்லுனருள் (Bernard Shaw) உன் சக்தியால் மனிதன் முன் னூறு வருடங்களுக்கு உயிருடனிருக்கலாமென்று கூறுகிறார். அட்டா! நீ மகா நிபுணன்.
இவ்வுலகத்திலே 'லஞ்சம்' (Bribery) வாங்குவதைக் கேட் டிருக்கிறாயா? அப்படியானால் நான் உனக்கு ஒரு லட்ச ரூபாய் தரு கிறேன் அதற்கு நீ எனக்கொரு பதிலுபகாரம் செய்வாயா? ஏ பேயே! நீ ஒருபொழுதும் கொடிய யுத்தத்தில் போர் செய்ய மாட் டேனென்று வாக்குறுதி தருவா யாயின் உனக்கே முழுப்பணத் தையும் தருகிறேன் நீ உலகத்து மக்களுள் சிலருக்கு மட்டும் கருணைபுரிந்து உனது உருவத்தைக்காட்டி, வேறு சிலருக்கு மட் டும் உன் உருவத்தைக் காட்டாமலிருக்கிறாயே, இது முறையா? உன்னைச் சீக்கிரத்தில் கண்டுபிடித்தவுடன் உன்புகழ் என்னவாகும்? உன் பாவத்தை நீக்குவதற்கு கங்கா நதிக்கு உடனே சென்றுவிடு.
இப்படியாக நான் கூறியவற்றையெல்லாம் மெளனமாகக் கேட்டுக்கொண்டிருந்த அட்டூழியப்பேய் என்னையுற்றுநோக்கி ''அடே பாதகா! நீ என்ன சொல்லத் துணிந்தாய். ஜாக்கிரதை, இதோ உன்னைத் துண்டு துண்டாக்குகிறேன்'' என் றது. அவ்வள வும் தான் 'டும் டூம் படார் படார்'' என்றது. பின்பு என்னை அந்தி யேஷ்டிக்கும் எடுக்கமுடியாமலாக்கிவிட்டான் அப்பா தகப்பேய்! இது என து கர்மம்தான்.
