_ROKER_—Anything wherewith to stir up anything else. _ROLL_—Any list of boys’ names. “The Roll” _par excellence_ is the list of the boys who have passed their examination for New College, and of those who are to come in to Winchester. There is also a Roll printed every November, which contains the name of every one connected with the School, from the Warden to the Choristers. The lists from which the Præfects of Hall and Chapel called names; the papers on which the names of the absentees on such occasions were written; the papers on which were written the “Standing up” (_v. inf._;) the lists of the boys who had leave out on a Saint’s day; the papers put on the Master’s desk when boys wished to go out of school; those handed to the Master at the close of school by the Bible Clerk or Ostiarius with the names of delinquents, and many other similar papers, were all called “Rolls.” _ROUSH_—A rush or charge by any man or beast, or of water. _ROWS_—The fixed benches at each end of School, called respectively Senior, Middle, and Junior Row. S. _SS. AND TREES_—A scratch game of Football without chosen sides, or kicking in, so called after the goals, which were, at one end, two iron clamps fixed in the wall, shaped like the letter S, and at the other two trees. _SCADGER_—A Ruffian. _SCALDINGS_—A call of warning to get out of the way. _SCHEME_—A method adopted by the boys for calling themselves in the morning. It was managed by cutting the Functior down to a length calculated to burn till the time required; paper was then placed round the socket, and a string attached to it, the other end of which passed through the head of a bed, and held suspended over the head of the sleeper a weight of books or cup of water. When the rushlight burned down it ignited the paper, which burnt the string, and so caused the weight to fall on the head of the boy beneath. _SCHITT_—The score made (one) when the Football was kicked between the goal and the last of the line of the kickers in. _SCOB_—An oaken box with a double lid. All the College boys and a few of the Commoner Præfects had one each, at which they sat in School. So called from the word Box spelt phonetically backwards. _SCONCE_—To deprive a person of anything. _SCRAPE OUT_—When a Præfect wished to go out of School, he scraped with his foot till he got a nod from the Master. _SCRUBBING_—A flogging of four cuts. _SCRUTINY_—At the commencement of Election week, the Electors summoned the seven Senior and seven Junior boys, and inquired of them if they had any complaints to make with regard to the arrangements made for their comfort. _SEMPER_—Always. A very common prefix, _e.g._, a boy was said to be Semper Continent, Tardy, or ex Trumps if he was often at Sick House, or late for Chapel, or habitually went up to Books without having looked at his lessons. An official, who was always present at the College meetings, went by the name of “Semper Testis.”
