I have just 36 a letter from my old school, 37 me that my former head- master, Mr Stuart Page, will be retiring next week. Pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending him a present to mark 　38 .

We shall all 　40 Mr Page for his patience and understanding and for the kindly encouragement he gave us when we went so unwillingly to school. 　41 former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his 42 next Thursday. It is a curious coincidence 43 the day before his retirement, Mr Page will have been teaching for 　44 forty years. After he has retired, he will devote himself to gardening. For him, this will be an entirely new hobby. But this does not matter, for, 　45 he has often remarked, one is never too old to learn.
