“Ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposedFree hearts, free foreheads.”

It is they who built up its traditions, and established that envied standard of Loyalty and Manliness, which has meant more for Kingswood than the prizes of scholarship and sport. These are varying degrees of loyalty, and it would be idle to pretend that the same high standard was attained by all members of the union. As everywhere and in everything, in Kingswood also some have cared much, some less, a few perhaps not at all. All boys have not the same instinctive capacity for appreciating thepublic school spirit, or that “plain heroic magnitude of mind” which enables them to rise above petty suspicions and imaginary grievances, But there is enough known of our boys to give us just cause for pride, and often one finds oneself faltering on the threshold of the tears of thing.
