Very little about the School can be gleaned from Phoenix No. 3, as it seems the School was at last settling down into a routine rhythm; however, this much is worth a mention:

“During the past half-year the school has added to its experience and its numbers. Four hundred and sixty pupils assembled in September for the new term. Every classroom is now occupied, and form III G has had to be elevated to the platform.”

A matter of some interest was the Staff play:

“THE STAFF PLAY, which was performed on the 14th and 15th of December, was one of the most enjoyable entertainments ever staged in our school. The very title ,“The Chinese Puzzle,” was most intriguing, and the plot was most dramatic and tense; it concerned a girl with a past who was forced to commit an act of deception, through her mother’s unscrupulousness. She takes a photograph of a certain Chinese document; unfortunately, her lover, who later becomes her husband, is accused of giving away diplomatic secrets con­tained therein, and dismissed from the diplomatic service. An old Chinaman, Chi Lung, suspects her, and after torturing her with vague promises of revelation, takes the blame, so as not to destroy the hero’s illusion as to the culprit’s perfection.”

Among the various succeeding notes of praise appear: “Mr. Behmber has an arduous tack in producing and playing Marketel,” and “The sincere sympathy of us all is given to Mr. Houston, whose unfortunate accident prevented him from playing “Littleport,” and our grateful thanks to Mr. Wright, who rose nobly to the occasion and played the part very creditably at a moment’s notice.”
