THE
PETERITE. Vol_ XVII.

SCHOOL LETTER. NOTHER School Term has begun, bringing with it several changes. We have to record the acquisition of St. Olave's as a Preparatory School, then to welcome Messrs. Green, Wilkinson, and Beck who have joined the Staff in the place of Mr. Pawle and Mr. Curgenven. The School has increased considerably in numbers owing to the addition of twenty-six new boys. Cricket, of course, is over and the season has been quite satisfactory to reflect on, victories over the Old Boys and Pocklington quite redeeming the fiascos against Ampleforth and Leeds. Football is now in full swing; one match has been already played against the Old Peterites, resulting in a win for the Old Boys by 26 points to 6 points. The form shown by the School Team was most promising. Under the coaching of Mr. Green and Mr. Wilkinson they ought to do well in School matches, especially as there are nine old Colours remaining. No steps have been taken about the building of the new block during the holidays; the Dayboys' changing-room, however, has been enlarged to meet increasing demands. We must congratulate F. Mitchell on his success at cricket ; and E. J. Walton, E. J. Joicey, and C. Nelson on appearing in their County Football Trials. An interesting lecture was given in the School Hall by the Right Rev. C. P. Scott, Bishop of North China. At the Bishop's request an extra half-holiday was given to the School.
