SCHOOL LETTER. EFORE we begin the School Letter proper we must explain to our readers how it is that there has been only one issue of the Peterite this term.

Even before the war Editors had great difficulty in collecting material for two numbers in the summer term, and now we find ourselves cut off from several of our old sources of supply, and yet expected to present the same number of issues to the public. So we have decided this term instead of providing two small numbers, to gather all our material into one, hoping that the approbation it will receive will equal the record size of this Peterite. " Carry on " has been the motto of the School for some time now, and there have been considerable difficulties in the way.

Nevertheless, judging from the Headmaster's speech on St. Peter's Day, this motto has been obeyed in quite an efficient manner. But the war has hit the School hard so far as outward and visible signs can show, for the average age of the School was considerably lessened, but is now rising again. This has been the cause of several unsuccessful seasons, and it has very much confirmed some people in the belief in the truth of the saying, " Providence is always with the big battalions." The keenness of the teams has been admirable, but unfortunately keenness alone cannot compensate for everything, and when the stronger members of a team have been suddenly removed, it is not possible for the remainder by a greenhouse method to be suddenly brought up to the standard of those who have been removed.

SCHOOL LETTER.

The Editors of the Peterite have always considered themselves specially gifted as critics ; somehow an atmosphere of ink and pen-tips " seems to make for impartiality on the cricket or football field. At any rate they have always frankly stated their opinions with no uncertain voice. In this case their opinion is that the eleven has had bad luck. It's a poor thing to say it was bad luck after a defeat ; but still there certainly has been a streak of misfortune in the career of the team. Time and again light or rain have taken a hand in the course of a match, and always on the side of our opponents, and this is accountable for at any rate some of our defeats. But the spirit of the team is certainly keen, and there is promising material in it ; but in cricket as in everything else we are cursed with youth—so might say the Conscientious Objectors. However we hope the season will end in a veritable halo of glory.

Fortunately the O.T.C. has not suffered from the general " decapitation " so much as other branches of the School.

There is an opportunity for the triumph of brain over matter, as has been clearly demonstrated by the size of some of the N.C.O.'s. Also a young gentleman of quick and retentive brain may successfully fill the place of larger men, always provided that he has the power of commanding his fellow mortals. Far from degenerating since the war, the O.T.C. has increased in efficiency and already has earned a high reputation. On Military Sunday the Corps made a very smart appearance, and as a result was specially commended by the inspecting general, and the week after was chosen to supply the Guard of Honour for the Australian Premier when he received the freedom of the City of York. So already even so soon after its foundation the O.T.C. has proved its worth.

Throughout the school, training is now given in a few useful subjects such as would delight the heart of any would-be reformer of our Public Schools. The boys are taught, when they first enter the School, one at least of the following subjects :—Bellringing, sweeping and scrubbing—this will come in very useful in after life—the distribution of pens, paper, etc.—a good foundation for a future business man—and general scavenging.

CRICKET.

31

In addition much care is taken to inculcate in each individual an ideal as to the proper treatment and culture of grass, the removal of weeds, and other unnecessary flora ; in fact all the masters, and the monitors too, make special opportunities for each boy to study this branch of the curriculum of the School.

And each day at various times any observant person may see several figures employed in a most minute and practical examination of the cricket field, especially those portions most favoured by the ubiquitous " plantain."

In conclusion we sincerely hope that the coming Camp will be as great a success as that of last year, and we also hope that the weather will not continue in its present unkind aspect, but will by its warmest smiles provide our readers with a very pleasant holiday.

G. SWAYNE, ESQ.'S (A.P.C.) XI.

Played on the School ground, May loth. Result, Draw.

This match was played upon a very hot day with the wicket in good condition, but favouring the batsmen. Chilman, winning the toss, elected to bat and the School opened with Bryning and Tendall. Owing mainly to the bowling of Honeyball, three wickets were down for 29. Then Mr. Toyne and Bryning by bright play carried the score to 66, when Bryning was unfortunately run out, having played very well for his 18. Mr. Toyne and Mr. Ross then gave the best batting display of the afternoon and the score reached 133 before Mr. Toyne was caught at the wicket. He had made 70 by brilliant hitting all round the wicket. Owing to good bowling by our opponents 8 wickets were down for 163, but fortunately for the School the tip of the tail wagged, and the score reached the satisfactory total of 192; Mr. Ross carried out his bat for an excellent 5o, and his success was all the more pleasing as this was his debut in School cricket.

Our opponents then commenced batting to the bowling of Stainthorpe and Wright, but as none of the School bowlers

except Walker showed anything like his true form the score mounted rapidly and 83 was signalled before the second wicket fell, only Brayshaw being out for a somewhat lucky 52. With only 5 runs added Walker bowled Honeyball with a good ball, but then Swayne and Toll raised the 131 before the latter was out, but with the score at 177 for 6 stumps were drawn, Swayne carrying out his bat for a good 34. The game was thus left in a very open condition since, for although our opponents only required 16 to win with 4 wickets to fall, their last few men were admittedly of the class known as " rabbits," but as the game stood the result was in favour of our opponents.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. BOOTHAM SCHOOL.

School Ground, Saturday, May 27th.

Result, Lost.

Our opponents won the toss, and elected to bat upon a good wicket, opening with Abbott and Monksdale. The School bowlers however, failed to get their length, and despite repeated changes it was not until the score had reached 85 that the first wicket fell. Another stand was then made, but with Chilman and Harland bowling the score cooled down, and the second wicket fell at 150. The bowling continued to be good, and 8 wickets were down for 208, and at 234 for 9 our opponents declared.

Harland, especially considering that it was his first appearance with the team, bowled very well, taking 5 wickets for 21.

The School opened with Tendall and Bryning, but failed to make any headway against good bowling. Chilman, Walker, and Tendall were the only people who showed any signs of good batting, and the innings closed for 5o. In excuse for this heavy defeat it must be stated that the team were tired, after forming a guard of honour to Mr. Hughes in the morning, and if fresh they would have done much better.

Played on the School Ground, Wednesday, May 31st.

Result, Lost.

This match was played upon a cold day, and rain had fallen overnight, but the pitch was in good condition. Our opponents won the toss, but put the School in first, and Bryning and Crawshaw opened the School innings. The play was steady at first, but Crawshaw was bowled at 16, having contributed 9, and Bryning followed at 27 for a useful 12. Chilman and Toyne both fell at 36, but Wright and Walker carried the score to 74, when the former was out for a good 36. After this a collapse occurred and 9 wickets were down for 78, but Walker and De Little carried the score to 104 when the former was caught and bowled after making a good but somewhat lucky 26. Honeyball for our opponents bowled very well, taking 8 wickets. Our opponents then started batting to the bowling of Stainthorpe and Wright, and lost 2 wickets at 16. A short stand then occurred, but at 37 the Rev. V. Jones was out for a good 25. Mr. Ross and Honeyball then made a stand, but they fell at 74 and 84 respectively, and it appeared as if the School had a chance of winning, but Mr. Gedge dispelled this hope and the School total was passed with 4 wickets in hand. The School bowling then deteriorated greatly and our opponents' score reached 209, of which Mr. Gedge contributed a good 73 not out. For the School Stainthorpe bowled well throughout, taking 7 wickets.

THE MASTERS.

Played on the School Ground, Thursday, May 1st.

Result, Lost.

A large amount of rain had fallen during the morning and the pitch was wet, and the Masters, winning the toss, elected to field.

The School opened with Bryning and Tendall and runs came at a good pace, both batsmen shaping very well. At 55, however, Bryning was caught having made a good 24. With Wright in the score continued to mount, and it had reached 104 before Tendall was brilliantly caught by Mr. Tendall for a

36

good 48. Chilman and Wright carried the score to 139, when Chilman was out, having made a useful 18, and at 144 Wright followed. He had made 38 by good cricket. From this point everyone made a few, the best being Crawshaw who made 18, and the score had reached the total of 183 before the last wicket fell. It was a remarkable fact that not a single wicket was bowled, 9 being caught and the other run out. The Masters opened badly, and the School bowlers had obtained 3 wickets for 9 runs, when their bad luck reasserted itself, for it commenced to rain very fast, and continued to do so right through the innings. Under these conditions it was impossible for the bowlers to maintain any command over the ball, and consequently the Masters knocked up the runs required to win with the loss of only one more wicket.

For them Mr. Toyne and Mr. Ross batted very well.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL. V NORTHUMBERLAND FUSILIERS.

Played on the School Ground, Saturday, June 3rd.

Result, Lost.

In this match the School were opposed to a very strong team, who easily outclassed them in every respect, and the result was a heavy defeat. Our opponents won the toss and commenced batting on an easy wicket to the bowling of Stainthorpe and Walker. With the score at 14 the former bowled both Harrison and Hutchinson, and at 17 the latter disposed of Wardroper.

With Capt. Galloway in, however, a stand was made, and the score was raised to 92 before Mr. Toyne obtained 2 wickets with successive balls. After that nearly every wicket put on a few runs, and the score had reached 201 before the tenth wicket fell.

Eight out at 195, Major Clarke had played excellently for his 91, which included two sixes, and 13 fours. The wickets were evenly divided between the School bowlers. Whilst fielding Mr. Ross was unfortunate enough to wrench the muscles of his right leg, and so he was greatly hindered in his batting. The School opened with Bryning and Tendall to the bowling of Major Clarke and Veitch, the Northumberland County bowler. The bowling was of an exceptionally high standard, and Mr. Toyne was the only member of the School team who was able to play it at all. The result was that the School was all out for 37.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE.

Played on the School Ground, Saturday, June loth.

Result, Draw.

This match was played on a very slow wicket, and rain fell during the match. The School won the toss but put Ampleforth in, and the latter opened with Emery and Macpherson to the bowling of Stainthorpe and Butterfield. The score mounted quickly at first, Emery, who was missed twice in the first three overs, scoring i8 in one over from Butterfield. With Chilman on the score moderated and first wicket fell at 46, and four more wickets fell before the score had reached 56. The remaining wickets gave some trouble, Encombe making 22, and HarteBarry II not out. Massey was brilliantly caught by Yeoman in the long field, and the innings closed for 91. The School bowling after the fall of the first wicket was good, and the wickets were equally divided between Stainthorpe and Chilman ; the former getting 5 for 24 and the latter 5 for 42. The School opened with Bryning and Crawshaw and fared disastrously. Bryning was bowled with the first ball of the innings, and with only one run upon the board Crawshaw, Chilman and Toyne all fell. Harland was out at 8, but Tendall and Walker carried the score to 19 when the rain which had been falling for some time came down fast and stopped play. After a time play was resumed, but with the score at 24 for 7 wickets, the rain came on again and the match was abandoned, thus ending in a draw in our opponents'

favour.

BAND (DEPOT) WEST YORKS.

Played on the School Ground, Wednesday, June 14th.

Result, Won. Our opponents won the toss and elected to bat upon a slow wicket, and opened with Clark and Sheat to the bowling of Stainthorpe and Walker. Two wickets were down for 5 runs, and only Matthews and Waller offered any real resistance to the School bowling, the innings closed for 66. Stainthorpe, Chilman and Walker shared the wickets fairly evenly amongst them. The batting of our opponents had been of a poor standard, but the hope that their bowling would be of a similar standard was rudely dispelled. Bryning and Crawshaw opened for the School, to the bowling of Baldwin and Waller, the latter of whom was quite good. Both Bryning and Crawshaw left at 2, and six wickets were down for 16. Walker and Jones, however, by careful play carried the score to 37, when Walker left. Then Jones and DeLittle added io more, but the partnership of the

innings was that of Jones and Yeoman who carried the score from 47 to 78, and thus won the match for the School. Yeoman played very well for 14, and Jones carried out his bat for an excellent 32. The School thus won their first match after a most exciting finish.

Harrison and Hall then made a stand and the score reached 122 before Harrison was bowled, having played a good innings of 56.

Hall and Broderick then put on 33, but the innings closed for 158, the School thus winning by 26. Lieut. Hall had made a very spirited effort to save the game, and fell to a brilliant catch

by Bryning in the long field. Mr Toyne was the most successful School bowler, obtaining 4 wickets for 36 runs.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. S. M. TOYNE, ESQ.'S XI.

Played on the School Ground, Wednesday, June 21st.

Result, Won. Considerable interest centred round this match because in the event of their winning the School had been promised a half.

Mr. Toyne had quite a strong team, and the School were strengthened by the addition of Mr. Barnby and Roberts. Chilman won the toss, and electing to bat, took Bryning in with him. Two wickets were down for 1o, but Chilman and Mr. Barnby took the score to 35 before the latter was unfortunately run out. Tendall was caught at 46, but Roberts and Chilman raised the total to 77 before the latter was l.b.w., after making 51 by good cricket.

Roberts was out soon afterwards for a useful 19. A collapse then occurred 9 wickets being down for 98, but the last pair put on 38, and the innings closed for 136. After the tea interval Mr. Watkinson and Mr. Ford opened for our opponents, but no one was able to make any prolonged resistance and the innings closed for 79, the School were thus winners by 59 runs. Roberts and Stainthorpe bowled throughout, each obtaining 5 wickets. The School fielding throughout was of a very high standard, really brilliant catches being made by Walker, Wright and Jones, and this as much as anything contributed to the winners of the extra half.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Played at Leeds, Saturday, June 24th. Result, Lost.

The School won the toss and elected to bat, opening with Chilman and Bryning in an appalling light. It was so dark that an opposing bowler admitted that he sometimes could not see the ball after he had bowled it. Under these circumstances we lost five of our best wickets for 8 runs, but soon afterwards a thunderstorm came on and stopped play. No more play was possible before lunch, but the match was resumed shortly after 3 o'clock. Walker and Butterfield carried the score to 34 before the former was bowled for a useful ii. Butterfield and Harland then took the score to 46, but the innings closed for 54.

Butterfield had played a good innings of 19, and for Leeds Crossby bowled exceeding well. Leeds opened with Laughton and Whitfield, to the bowling of Stainthorpe and Wright, and rain fell all through their innings. Laughton was missed at the wicket the first ball of the match, but three wickets were down for 13. After that, however, Laughton and Todd carried the score to 63 before Laughton was bowled. He had played an invaluable innings for his side. Wickets fell quickly after that and the innings closed for 81. Chilman and Stainthorpe were the most successful School bowlers.

CRICKET CHARACTERS AND AVERAGES. The season, it must be confessed, has not been exhilarating, for with the promise of last year it might well have been more successful ; but no inter-school matches were won. The weather was not cricket weather and the team took a long time in getting together. Bowlers, who wanted to get a length or obtain more control of the ball; batsmen , who were out of luck, might well have taken advantage of the Daylight Saving Bill. In bowling the XI. possessed Stainthorpe, who showed himself to be well above the average School bowler and mainly owing to him there was not a single big score made against the School. Chilman and Wright were also useful, but Walker, who has the best natural action in the School, was singularly unsuccessful. The fielding improved considerably and in spite of the fact that there were some expensive catches dropped, it reached a very fair standard.

The XI. batting was poor for with the exception of Chilman, nobody can be said to have done himself justice in this line.

Below the XI. the Juniors were quite good—Ramsden, Whiteley Walker, Crawshaw, Rob, Allen, Davis and Gedge mi. all shaping well.

CHARACTERS. 1ST XI. COLOURS. K. G. CHILMAN had a somewhat difficult position to fulfil as Captain. Was the most successful bat and did some useful work with the ball.

J. C. STAINTHORPE bowled steadily and with judgment. Much improved as a fielder and made some good last wicket partnerships with DeLittle.

T. G. WRIGHT a good all round cricketer, but he seemed unable to make runs in the first innings.

H. L. BRYNING started well, but is inclined to try to play straight balls to leg.

A. DELITTLE a fair wicket keeper, but he should either stand right up or where he can be certain of catches and byes.

He often got into no man's land.'

CRICKET. 2ND XI. COLOURS.

F. H. BUTTERFIELD did some good work in the field and made some useful scores.

R. E. F. TENDALL did not fulfil his promise. He must meet the ball with the face of the bat. At nets he batted in good style, but in matches a weak stroke nearly always ended matters.

M. R. JONES made a few runs in a style all his own. A good ground field.

H. G. CRAWSHAW a sound bat with one grave fault, which he must cure. Has every quality to make a good wicketkeeper.

W. G. YEOMAN a fine catch in the deep field, but rather sloppy on the ground. A hitter, who would make runs, if he took more pains. One or two useful innings.

H. L. WALKER looks like a batsman, but could not make runs in matches. His bowling will probably come back next year.

J. C. NEWHOUSE did not get many opportunities in the first XI., but did well for the second.

E. W. HARLAND—a useful cricketer.

B. D. TOYNE—a good bat who could not score in matches. A useful lob bowler.

H. N. NELSON has had an ' off ' season.

H. F. S. GEDGE a promising bat. Has the same fault as DeLittle in his position.

HOCKEY. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. SOUTHLANDS HOCKEY CLUB.

1st April, 1916.

Southlands won the toss and played up the hill the firststhalf, half, the bully-off was followed by a free hit to Southlands Southlands who who pressed pressed hard upon our circle, but the situation was saved by a good clear by Mr. Ross. But Southlands again pressed, Rainford saving and Toyne clearing, but to no purpose, but the opponents shot was made outside the circle and a twenty-five yards bully •

ensued. The School forwards then pressed on their opponents' goal, but the centre forward gave sticks in the circle and Southlands again worked the ball down the field, and the School backs gave a corner. In the charge Wright managed to clear and the forwards just failed to score but continued to press and their opponents again cleared, pressing hard on the School's goal, but the ball sent back to the forwards by the good co-operation of the backs. Southlands forwards, however, managed to score soon after. This seemed to demoralise the backs for a short space and after two failures the Southlands forwards again scored. Then Wright scored for the School, and in a press round the opponents' goal the ball was sent through presumably by one of their own men.

Half-time : St. Peter's School 2. Southlands H.C. 2.

After the bully Southlands attacked vigirously, but they were foiled by the splendid co-operation of the backs. The School's right wing took the ball down the field but failed to score.

The backs again frustrated the opponents' rush, and the School forwards getting the ball into Southlands circle scored with an excellent shot from the inside left. After the bully Jones scored with an excellent back-handed shot, and this was followed by a good shot from Stainthorpe which also scored.

A hard tussle in Southlands goal and two corners ensued, but their backs cleared successfully. Then there was a hard fight for supremacy on the part of both teams, but no more goals were forthcoming and the game ended in a win for the School.

Final Score : St. Peter's School 5. Southlands H.C. 3.

The following composed the team :—Forwards, P. G. Russell, T. J. Wright, W. G. Yeoman, J. C. Stainthorpe, and M. R. Jones ; Half-backs, K. G. Chilman, S. M. Toyne, Esq., and N. C. D. Ross, Esq. ; backs, F. B. Crowther and B. D. Toyne ; Goal, R. R. Rainford.

HOCKEY CHARACTERS. Played, 8. Won, 6. Lost, 2.

The Hockey XI. had more material from the previous year than other teams have had, but it was sometime before a suitable arrangement of the team could be found. At the end of the season, as is often the case, the XI. was well together and brought off its most notable achievement in the defeat of a really formidable side representing Southlands and District. This victory was particularly gratifying, as, at one time the visitors were leading 2-o. After the inclusion of Yeoman and Russell in the forward line, the front 'five played some very pretty hockey, and except for a certain wildness in front of goal would have passed for a good quintette in any side. They were in particularly good form against Pocklington. The backs also were a distinctly formidable pair and with many years before them Crowther and Toyne should be able to pull the School team out of many a tight place. The half-back line was the difficulty.

Chilman, who was first-rate at left-half last season, seemed quite unable to fulfil the many duties of a centre-half and no one was forthcoming in his place. There were many claimants for righthalf—Roberts, DeLittle, Elliot-Smith, George, all being promising in defence, but in the School matches, the forwards all were starved and the halves did not thoroughly realise the necessity of drawing the opposing half-back and then feeding the forwards.

However the captain can be congratulated on a successful season and the team can be satisfied that Hockey was played and not a game of " hit and run."

1ST XI. COLOURS. Captain, Centre forward. A bustling player who has learned to use his stick. He infused plenty of life into the forward line. where he found his right place.

CHILMAN, half-back.

A clever player, but at times he did not help in the defence sufficiently. When on the left he fed his forwards well.

YEOMAN,

forward. At outside right he did excellent work and it was a pity that he did not get more passes.

WRIGHT, forward.

A brilliant shot and good dribbler.

Lethargic at times.

TOYNE, back.

A sound player with a good knowledge of the game, and with his partner managed to upset the calculations of really good forwards.

ROWING NOTES. THE SCHOOL

v.

YORK CITY R.C.

This was rowed in April and resulted in a win for the School by three lengths. The river was in flood and a very strong stream was running, which was all in favour of a light crew.

The School chose the far side of the river thus gaining the advantage of the current and after several false starts the boats eventually got off the mark. York City, owing to a very fine start, immediately gained a quarter of a length, but the School Boat, which was very scratchy at the beginning, got together, and rowing forty strokes to the minute, gradually drew level.

York City were rowing a longer and considerably slower stroke than the School and the latter gradually began to draw away.

As the bend of the river was reached the School, aided by the current, gained a couple of lengths after a good piece of rowing.

A choppy piece of water after Lendal Bridge caused the boat to roll considerably, but Sergeant, who stroked excellently throughout the race, pulled the boat together and picking it up sent us past the winning post three clear lengths ahead.

ROWING NOTES.

51

It was a good race from start to finish and brings great credit to the Boat Club to win against a heavier and more experienced crew. A lot of hard work during the term had turned four individuals into a crew and the secret of the victory was that the School Boat was together and our opponents, although far more experienced watermen, were rowing as individuals and not as a crew.

ROWING CHARACTERS. SERGEANT, J. H. A first-class stroke who has kept the boat together throughout the term. The strongest and most persevering oar in the boat, and always capable of picking up the stroke. He is very quick with his hands, but is inclined to check his swing at the upright, thus making him fast forward. He always uses his legs to the utmost and possesses a straight back.

FERGUSON, J. M. Perhaps the neatest oar in the boat and capable of sending down a very respectable puddle. Quick with his hands but inclined to swing out of the boat. He sometimes " bobs " as he carries forward, thus losing the full power of his leg-drive at the beginning of the stroke. His timing is good and he possesses any amount of " guts."

He did very well in the race.

WALKER, H. L. Has improved considerably since the beginning and if only he kept his back straight he would be a good oar.

He is also inclined to swing out of the boat. He thoroughly deserves his colours.

ENGLISH, H. G. (bow) digs, and consequently causes the boat to roll. When he gets over this fault—as he does occasionally —he shows that he can make the boat shift. His swing is short but will improve as he grows taller. Slow with his hands.

52

ATHLETIC SPORTS.

ATHLETIC SPORTS. This year it was decided by the Committee to again hold the Sports in place of the Military Gymkhana, which took their place last year, and this decision was undoubtedly a wise one.

War economy was practised, however, since in place of the large cups which are usually given, small silver souvenir cups and spoons were given. A few of the usual events were omitted, and in their place team-races with officers were arranged, but unfortunately had to be scratched at the last minute. Tilting the Bucket was the sole survivor of last year's events, and for this event two " jollywags " were given as prizes. The system of running off the heats previously was again carried out, and thus the drollery which usually accompanies certain events was removed, and the large gathering of visitors expressed great satisfaction with the meeting. The " times " on the whole were good, and much talent was displayed especially in the junior sections of the School. The " going " was good but the " fields " were small.

There were too many touch line critics, who with training could have been competitors instead of merely watchers.

In conclusion we congratulate Stainthorpe upon winning the Victor Ludorum, and also Roberts and A. Elliott-Smith upon jointly winning the Junior Victor Ludorum. The prizes were very well distributed by Miss Betty Toyne, who afterwards acted as hostess. Appended are the results of the races and list of officials.

COMMEMORATION DAY. (Taken mostly from the Yorkshire Herald.)

A commemoration service was held in the morning in the

School Chapel, and in the 'afternoon - Lieutenant-General H. M. Lawson, C.B., presented prizes and inspected the Officers' Training Corps. There was a numerous attendance at the commemoration service, the first portion of which was taken by the Rev. F. W Barnby (School Chaplain) and the second by Mr. S. M. Toyne (Headmaster). The special Psalms were the 121st and 122nd the lesson was Ecclesiastes, chapter 44. Mr. G. F. Tendall (the School organist) was at the organ. An impi -essive point of the service was the reading of the long list of names of Old Boys who are serving in the Forces of the Crown, and those who have already made the supreme sacrifice. Mr. Toyfie read a list of no fewer than 361 names, which included generals and naval commanders, army surgeons and army chaplains. The list included 20 who have laid down their lives in the war.

COMMEMORATION DAY.

55

Canon J. Watson preached the sermon, taking for his text the words : " Be strong !" (St. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians, ch. 6, v. 10). After remarking upon the historic importance of the events of our day, he said that not long ago there was a fear that modern luxury, prosperity and pleasure had caused the race to deteriorate and had sapped the national character, leaving the nation without its old verile spirit, grit and strength, and without that persistency which had made the Empire.

He could not agree that this was so. They were proud of the men who to-day were showing the same characteristics of the race as were shown at Waterloo and Balaklava. They were proud, too, of him who had perished in the cold waters of the North sea—proud of his achievement in raising five million volunteers. They were proud of those whose names had that morning been read out as serving the Crown ; and he, personally, was proud of that School which had provided so noble an array of men.

There was, the Canon continued, much talk about of ter-warconditions—with a new Empire and enormous political, economic and social changes, every faddist hoping to grind his own axe ; but God grant that the race might retain its old characteristics, and then all would be well. National prosperity could be based only on individual character. The need was for strength of character ; not for the man who drifts, the man whose consciousness has become dull and narcotised, and who is simply harmlessly nice and amiably useless. Reverent, high-souled and strong, that was the type the nation called for.

THE PRIZE DISTRIBUTION. There was a large gathering in the great hall of the School on the occasion of the prize distribution during the afternoon by Lieut.-General H. M. Lawson, C.B., who was received by a guard of honour of the School Officers' Training Corps. The majority of the boys when they assembled in the hall wore the khaki uniform of the Corps. The Very Rev. the Dean of York presided, and in addition to General Lawson there were also present Major S. M. Toyne (headmaster), the Bishop of Beverley (Dr.

56

COMMEMORATION DAY.

Crosthwaite), the Rev. Canon Greenwood, the Rev. Canon Argles, Mr. Edwin Gray, Mr. G. Yeld, and Major W. T. Lipscombe (Aide-de-camp to General Lawson).

EDUCATION AND THE WAR. Major Toyne said that it was now two years since they assembled there for what had hitherto been the annual prizegiving, and it was only natural that they should ask how the school had stood the shock of the great war. Last year they gave War Loan scrip instead of prizes, but after mature reflection he considered that it was wiser to return to the old custom of presenting books, because there might be a danger that the value of books would be underrated amid the distractions of these exciting times. Dangers assailed education on all sides, for no sooner had the seriousness of the war begun to force itself upon the most placid of our educationalists than the flood gates of crankdom were thrown wide open, and the devotee of every known form of specialisation and hobby exaggerated his own particular study into the most important factor in education. He trembled to think what would be the state of the school which embraced all the suggestions gratuitously distributed to headmasters. Most of them showed a stupendous ignorance of work done. For instance, he had fourteen copies of a circular on science, in which one speaker, after his preliminary remarks that he was " no sort of scientist," suggested that eight periods a week should be devoted to science, apparently oblivious of the fact that this was about the time given to science in schools already. There was no doubt that a great development in science was necessary and desirable, but it had begun before the war, and surely most of the warnings that scientists gave passed unheeded by those in power. What was really required was a general knowledge of science for all, so that they could appreciate the advice given by specialists. Without unduly patting their school on the back he could say that science there had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he would be very glad for everyone to inspect the work done at the laboratories, under the able tuition of Mr. Featherstone. He firmly believed that

COMMEMORATION DAY.

57

among the other benefits which the war was going to confer on the British nation would be an amelioration of certain forms of education. It was bringing home to boys, parents, and schoolmasters the demands which citizenship in the British Empire must make on the coming generation. His honest conviction was that educationists and military experts had much to learn from one another, and that the war would bring mutual benefit.

It was often overlooked that the highest forms of militarism and pacifism worked on precisely the same lines and for the same ends, while the evil pacifism which sheltered itself behind craven formuke was no whit better than the Prussian militarism against which we were fighting.

MODERN EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. What was discipline and what was education ? Discipline, to his mind, meant good manners, good behaviour, and the cheerful and strict performance of duty. Education in the words attributed to the great classical master of Balliol, meant " right behaviour in novel circumstances." Discipline meant the protection of the weak, and no one had heard a complaint against discipline where that discipline was just. At first the effect of war on education was decidely baneful. There were many distractions, and there was still a restlessness and a continual flow of entertainments and lectures, etc., from which boys had to be shielded, if character and initiative were to be developed.

Then, again, the broadcast distribution of commissions led boys to the conclusion that to reach the summit of their ambitions —to be an officer—did not require mental effort, and khaki alone was sufficient. Gradually it had been brought home to all that mental and physical training were required, and that to leave school too soon was really an unpatriotic act, robbing the nation of what might and would be a useful officer. He believed this war would bring education into closer touch with the problems of the day. The first requirement needed to make boys fit to face problems when they left school was more general knowledge, while there was also need for development of initiative and readiness to take responsibility. At school, also, something

58

COMMEMORATION DAY.

could be done to rid us of what he might call the national vice of lack of co-ordination and organisation. If fostered at school, this spirit in after life would mean a combination of the practical man with the visionary, and he knew of no combination that could make the nation so strong as the realisation of that ideal.

They must not let education be haphazard, but it must be fostered on definite lines. In a small way they were trying to do this at St. Peter's, and with no little pride he had noticed that most of the reforms lately suggested for aiding schools for carrying on their work in these difficult times were introduced into the school some months before the suggestions appeared.

Many reforms had to be introduced, and in spite of the net increase of 35 boys since the commencement of the war, he could say with all sincerity that the work of the school had vastly improved, which was also the opinion of the Board of Education examiners. For this he wished to thank the staff, which had not been increased in spite of the increase in the number of boys, and from which all eligible members had joined the Army, with the exception of one, who would be called up at the end of the term.

WORK OF THE O.T.C.

Mr. Toyne went on to refer to the work of the Officers' Training Corps, and stated that the corps had been responsible for the training of 15o " Derby " recruits who were now serving in addition to systematically performing domestic work at the school, consequent upon the porters having been called up.

The first company sergeant-major of the corps during 1914 was now a captain and adjutant in the West Yorks, whilst last year's sergeant-major, C. C. H. Medhurst, was not only captain, but the youngest flight commander in the British Army, and had been mentioned in despatches. A great compliment was paid to the corps when it was asked to form a guard of honour recently to the Australian Premier, and part of their band had also been privileged to take part in the memorial services in the Minster to Lord Kitchener and Admiral Cradock. Major Toyne then read the following honours list of the school for the year 1914-15 :History Exhibition, St. Catherine's College, Cambridge,

It was with great pleasure, he said, that he had accepted the venerable Dean's invitation to be present, for it reminded him of his own happy days at school

6o

COMMEMORATION DAY.

years ago. He would like to congratulate Major Toyne on everything he had seen and heard of the school, not only that day but ever since he had been in York. He was under a deep obligation to Major Toyne personally, for, quite apart from his school work he had taken up many important duties in connection with the war, having done invaluable service as military representative on one of the Tribunals and also helped in the training of the Volunteers. He was pleased to hear about the number of masters and boys who had joined the army, for this was an outward and visible sign that the school did not exist for itself, but was doing its best to further the great ends we had in view.

It was known that St. Peter's was a good school, and one could read in the faces of the boys that they were happy. The occasion brought back to him recollections of the time when he came as a shy little boy from Ireland to a big English Public school, and the happy times he had there. He did not get on very well in athletics, but got his fair share of prizes, although he remembered occasions when he did not receive prizes after having worked very hard. Therefore he extended his sympathies to those who had not received prizes as well as his congratulations to those who had. Lord Kitchener was not a great success at books during his boyhood, but they saw by what he achieved that there were other valuable qualities besides book-learning—although he did not wish to deprecate this—and any headmaster would tell them that success in life depended more on character than anything else. He hoped they would work hard while at school, and cultivate their characters now, trying to be unselfish and endeavouring to fit themselves to be good men when they grew up.

They knew, of course, that their brothers and fathers had gone out to fight, and that their mothers and sisters were working in hospitals and other ways, and the point was what could they do at this time. The only thing he could recommend them to do was to be good boys at school so as to be good citizens when they grew up and able to serve their country. The war had instilled a spirit of unselfishness, and he hoped that they would work hard and endeavour to train themselves so as to be able to serve their country in any future hour of need. He was pleased to hear

of the good work which had been done by the O.T.C. and had been interested also in reading the report of their last inspection.

Some people thought that dress and smartness did not count for much, but the experience in this war had been that those regiments had acquitted themselves best— although all had done well–which had had a reputation for smartness in appearance. Discipline, of which such an excellent definition had been given by Major Toyne, counted for a great deal, and he hoped that they would remember that these little things counted for a great deal in a soldier's career.

The General concluded by again expressing his pleasure at being present, and wished the boys the best of success.

The meeting came to an end with the singing of the National Anthem, after a vote of thanks had been accorded Lieut.General Lawson, on the motion of the Bishop of Beverley, seconded by Canon Greenwood.

The General then inspected the Corps on the cricket field.

The inspection lasted about half-an-hour, and the General said that he could see none of the faults mentioned in the War Office Report. The Company adjourned for tea to the strains of the West Yorks. Band, and then gradually dispersed bringing a very pleasant day to a most successful close.

O.T.C. NEWS. " It seems a shame to send such young men to the front ! " " They're not going to the front : they're only the boy scouts ! " We were not going to the front and we were not the boy scouts, but merely the O.T.C. going to the Minster on Military Sunday.

The scene was not as gay as on former occasions, and the crowd of sightseers was more or less subdued. The soldiers were fewer, but their smartness was not in the least diminished, and the playing of the bands was, if anything, better. The service was very impressive, and the singing was glorious and roused us all to martial ardour. The stirring address by the Archbishop, the rousing fanfare of the trumpets and roll of the drums, the tenseness of the march past, all left a lasting impression upon us.

We think we acquitted ourselves very creditably. We were honoured for the smartness we displayed by being asked to form the Guard of Honour to Mr. Hughes, the Australian Premier, who visited York a few days later.

Thirty-two members of the corps, with fixed bayonets, met Mr Hughes, at the Station. Drawn up in two lines facing one another we greeted him by presenting arms, which he acknowledged by an Australian cooey. He walked between our lines to the Lord Mayor's Coach, and thence drove to the Mansion

House, the Guard of Honour bringing up the rear. Slightly embarrassed by the admiring crowd, we left him there and returned to the school, very proud of having had such a signal honour conferred upon us.

A Memorial Service was held in the School Chapel for the late Lord Kitchener. The service was sad and sorrowful, and the sermon was short and impressing. Afterwards the Corps formed up in silence on the parade ground and stood at attention while the bugles played the " Last Post."

On May 24th the Corps in accordance with a War Office order, did homage to the flag, for which a special pole was erected.

First the Corps marched past in line giving the flag " eyes right," then, drawn up in front of the flag, presented arms while the band played the " General Salute."

The Band has lately improved tremendously, and great credit is due to Corporal Ferguson. Some of the drummers were actually required by the massed bands to help them on two occasions when they were playing in the Minster.

In connection with the York Defence Company, certain members .of the Corps have been detailed as cyclists for special duty (which, of course, cannot be published) in the event of an Invasion or an Air-raid. As neither of these two possible events have occurred as yet, they have not been called out.

The result of the labour, which the Corps had the honour to endure for the training of Derby Recruits last term, is very gratifying. One hundred and fifty-two men were thus trained, and out of them three sergeants were appointed in one week, 14 corporals in three weeks, and 24 other lance-corporals and corporals in two months. It is on record (and Major Toyne has first-hand knowledge) that one man has actually not been in the guard room for weeks and weeks.

The signallers this term have been very busy. They have purchased a " buzzer " which is fixed up on the pavilion. Many an amusing hour may be spent listening to the man at the other end calling out the letters, and trying to make them correspond with the piercing notes of the " buzzer."

The War Office Inspection this year took place on June 6th.

64

O.T.C. NEWS.

It was carried out by Colonel Robson and the order of procedure was much the same as last year. The only faults that he found were in the turn out of the belts and puttees, and the signalling.

He said that the field work was good and that the Corps was very lucky in having Major Toyne to command it.

In the usual competitions which took place at the end of last term the Officers' Cup (for the best section) was won by Section III. Corporal Ash, and the Ferrie Cup (for the best N.C.O.) was won by C. S. M. Sergeant. As this was the third occasion upon which he had won the cup, he was presented with a small silver memento cup by Major Toyne.

FIELD DAY. The Board of Education this year made the request that Whit-Monday should not be given as a holiday, but they said at the same time that it would be a useful means of combining both training and pleasure if the time was employed in having a field day. Therefore it came about that the O.T.C. with a good supply of ammunition in its pouches, and provisions in its haversacks marched out to Heslington Common. The Corps was divided into two bodies, one the White Army, the other the Brown, and each body was supplied with a guide. But, as invariably happens the guides were men with a grievance. They of course didn't know the way, and kept continually announcing, as they led us over bogs, and through mud, while we drew further from our destination, that " if we had gone the way I meant we should have been there by now," which is very nice but not helpful. We got there however at last and went to our various stations.

The scheme of operations was as follows :—The White Army, Sections I, 4, 6, and 7, under Sergeant Dooley, was to advance from its base in a northerly direction, and then, having broken the Brown line near Till Mire Farm, was to capture Warren House. The Brown Army, Sections 2, 3, 5, and 8, under Co.-.

Sergt.-Major Sergeant, had to thwart the attack.

O.T.C. NEWS.

65

The White Army moved off to its base, but had slight difficulty in finding it owing to the inhabitants of a certain farm declaring that the farm they lived at was Till Mire, their information being directly contradictory to the Ordnance Survey Map. As a result the White Army wandered up and down trying to find its base, and, as far as anyone in the ranks could tell, not finding it. Still at the appointed time White Army got in motion and after some very skilful scouting, in which prisoners were taken by both sides, got in touch with the enemy.

The White Army's plan was to make a feint attack on the right, which was intended to draw the enemies' reserves and disclose his position while the main attack should be made on the left. The scheme worked marvellously well at first. The feint attack under Corporal Yeoman was taken for an attack in force, and the Brown reserves came up at the double. Then came the mystery of the day. Apparently some person in the White Army was seized with a passing fit of madness, since someone of the White Army told the Brown's it was only a feint attack.

Armed with the knowledge the Brown reserves were mercilessly doubled across to the other wing by Sergeant Jones and thus the Browns were able to beat off the main White attack under Sergeant Dooley, although at first the latter had met with some success.

From this point the operations became confused. In the centre the Whites made a most gallant charge which culminated in a fierce hand-to-hand encounter, in which much blood was shed. The White left at the same time made another attempt at outflanking, but were held up by the Browns. " Stand Fast " was sounded, and the wounded were tended with great care, while the different units disentangled themselves.

During the battle aeroplanes hovered over the disputed area but no hostile action was taken by either side. As the Corps moved off homewards rain began to fall and the great-coats which all day had been the objects of continued and prolonged swearing proved their usefulness. The wounded and sick were taken home in the ambulance, which returned twice and collected those who otherwise would have decorated the roadside on the

NOTES AND ITEMS. Congratulations to H. G. Crawshaw, F. H. Butterfield, J. C. Newhouse, upon receiving their second XI. Cricket Colours.

Owing to the shortage of labour, arising out of the war, the compilation of the registers and the making-out of the list of absentees has been taken over by various boys, and, at any rate, according to themselves, never has the work been done so efficiently before.

We tender our apologies to Sir Ian Hamilton for, in our last issue, placing his last Gallipoli despatch under the heading of Fiction.

Whilst looking casually through the Library Register, we found the following rather amusing comments in the " remarks " column. The names mentioned below are " of course " entirely fictitious. We offer any necessary apologies to the authors of, the books in question upon behalf of these budding literary critics.

Upon Thursday, June 1st (Ascension Day), after the usual service had been held the christening took place of Marian Mease Toyne, second daughter of the Headmaster, the School Chaplain being the officiating clergyman. In commemoration of the event an extra half was given upon which a cricket match was played against the masters.

The leagues are again very actively in being this term, and number 4, namely, A, B, C, and D. Many interesting games have been played and as the result of the first round of matches Leagues A, A, and C all tied for first place.

The batting average for the first round was won by Crawshaw, and the bowling average (most wickets) by Pattinson. The games at times were exciting, but the umpires (despite hostile comments from the fielders) seldom lose their heads and their decisions are always abided by. One batsman, indeed, when the ball hit his pads, confident that he was out, started towards the pavilion, although no player had appealed and the umpire had given no decision ! " Buzzing " is the latest achievment of the signallers.

In their desire to emulate the " little busy bee " they have encircled the cricket pavilion with wires and now they sit for hours " buzzing " to each other. " The key " is in the score box and provides a source of amusement to the scorers, although upon the approach of a " buzzing " official they quickly " flee " away from the instrument. We would advise the members of the Corps moreover to give the " buzzers " their full titles, which, is, for example in the case of Lce.-Corporal Robinson, Lce.-Corporal Signaller Cyclist Buzzer Robinson. Nevertheless it must be admitted that the signallers have put in much hard. work.

It is now a matter of public scandal that a society, which apparently has been formed for the study of spiritualism, exists in the School. We are unable to understand by what pernicious means the members of the budding generation have been seduced, and as yet only a few facts have been brought to our notice ;

.68

NOTES AND ITEMS

they are namely, that certain persons to the number of nine have been of late in the habit of betaking themselves to the Armoury, which, as all the world knows, is gloomy and obscure as to its lighting facilities and restricted in elbow room. There, having passed within the portal and shut themselves in, they remain, until, blinking and in a slightly dazed condition, they emerge.

At the same time rumours reach us of ghosts walking from the Uniform Room to the Big Hall at Midnight upon St. Peter's Day, and so it would appear that the efforts of the spiritualists have not been without success.

Barbed wire entanglements have now been erected at the further end of the footer-field, which, together with the trenches there give the place quite a " Hunny " aspect. Many people have wondered why such warlike preparations have been made ; however, we have it from our special correspondent that the only foe against whom these defensive works have been engineered is the " horse." The playful creature has of late been suffering from weariness, and whilst endeavouring to find some suitable support to lean upon, has succeeded in demolishing the goalposts and shooting platform.

We are glad to see that the corporation workmen are again pursuing their labours on the Bootham Road. Their actions and works -are, however, inexplicable. They have apparently devoted their time to digging graves in the surface of the road, but whom these receptacles are intended to contain, we are unable to surmise. But when we returned at a later date we found all the graves nicely smoothed over, and covered with asphalt. At any rate the number of dayboys who bicycle to School has increased very markedly as such an unparalleled opportunity for a bicycle switch-back has never been known here before.

This term being summer term the digging up of plantains has taken the place of the writing of impositions. Many and quaint ways are found of digging up these plantains, the best probably being to be on the edge of the boundary during a cricket match and casually dig up a few plantains each time that the match was at all dull. Upon that occasion, however, the

" SOME " BIT.

69

worker who, overcome by effects of the hot sun, was tasting the delights of Morpheus, was rudely awakened by a cricket ball.

Calculation has revealed the fact that during the first half of term about 35,000 plantains have been dug up. The individual record is 3,000 ; and a mathematical expert has revealed the fact that a " good hand " can disinter 200 plantains in an hour.

The footer field has been allowed to grow into hay this year and so during this term many " idle hands " have been prevented from finding mischief to do by being turned on to cut hay, and thus also they have been serving the interests of their country.

An interesting Organ Recital was given on Sunday, June 18th,

by Mr. G. F. Tendall after the evening service instead of a sermon.

This was very much appreciated. Mr. A. L. Guibara sang the two songs with his usual skill.

" SOME " BIT. As soon as I was reminted I found my way into the hands of a rich schoolmaster. One day I was taken by his wife into the kitchen and heard her mention my name to the cook. After a few minutes conversation I was taken out of her purse and pushed into a sweet-tasting mass of plum pudding, where I could hardly breathe. It was fearfully hot and I fainted The next thing I felt was a rush of cold air and a joyous shout greeted my appearance, which made me blush horribly.

At length I again found my way into the cook's hands, which, accidently and unknown to the cook, let me fall into a conglomoration of ossification which was being made into soup. At

dinner that evening I was nearly swallowed by the master, who used horrible language and threw me at the cook, who gave notice immediately.

For the next week I passed through a series of hands and at last found myself in a workman's pocket. He was a bricklayer, and after the foundation stone of a certain building had been laid by the Archbishop he exchanged me for the sovereign and the newspaper inside.

I spent years and years in the stone, but one night there was a terrible crash ; the stone was split in half, and I was thrown into the road. A bomb must have hit the house and a huge crowd gathered round it. I was picked up by a cultured young man, who put me in his pocket. In the evening he drew me out, and I told him I was dying and would he hear my story. He told me he was an Editor of the Peterite and would be very glad to publish my history.

A THREEPENNY BIT. •

ROUTE MARCHING. I think you can safely call route marching a distinctly overrated kind of recreation. People say it gets you into good training and is grand sport. They are happy people who have such good eyesight that they can see right through the clouds and spot the silver-lining on the other side. I am afraid I do not belong to that crowd ; at any rate I know I can never see the other side of a route march. You start out in fine fettle with the band playing and all the rest of it. But directly you get away from the town, the band stops and cuts across about two fields, sits in a hedge bottom until we turn up again and then march in with us as fresh as paint, and everybody says what fine fellows they are in the band. Why I nearly joined the band myself ! Then the rest of us go tramping on, out of step half the way and when we ar'nt out of step we're changing.

Rather a popular little idea is to go for a route march and when we have gone about five miles to have a young field day or

71

something like that with plenty of doubling and when its over there's .a nice walk home. Of course we all love it. When we get back we have to clean our rifles or at any rate I have to, because we've dropped them in a ditch, or banged the muzzle in the ground, or because Robinson splashed mud about. Oh, we all love route marches !

A very tricky wheeze is to set out for a nice short route march, " Back in an hour, don't you know." Then they lose the way, by mistake on purpose, take a short cut across country for about five miles and land us back about dead just before prep. time. " They " manage the best route marches from " their " point of view, at Camp. There it is quite possible to combine all the tricks, cross-country, losing the way, and all the other little turns and, as a final joke, not allowing anybody to take waterbottles except the section commanders, and they drink it all themselves. It's grand sport route marching.

MATCH V. CLIFTON HOUSE, HARROGATE.

This match was played at Harrogate on June 22nd. The School lost the toss and their opponents opened with Mckie and Ives. Both were soon out, but Harrison and Allaway made a substantial addition to the score. After Harrison was out Stone came in and by good cricket made 29. After his dismissal the rest of the team were soon out, the innings closing for 75.

Davis and Whiteley-Walker were the most successful bowlers, the former obtainirig 5 wickets, and the latter 5. The School opened with Prior and Brook, but the latter was soon out.

Crawshaw came in and stayed for some time, but he was bowled

by Allaway and no one except Prior and Davis offering much resistance the innings closed for 27. For our opponents Allaway took 4 wickets and Stone 6.

CORRESPONDENCE.

To the Editor of the Peterite.

DEAR SIR,

I should be grateful, if you could allow me the courtesy of your columns, in order to bring before your notice the national work which has been done by the Officers' Training Corps.

CORRESPONDENCE.

73

In January, 1916, the War Office asked O.T.C. contingents to volunteer to train Army Reservists, Class B (popularly known as " Lord Derby's Recruits ") before they were called up in their groups. This contingent, of course, offered its services and the scheme was advertised by the Military Authorities, and 152 recruits have been drafted into the Army from this School.

After the initial stage, the printing and general cost fell upon this corps. The total cost worked out at some X13 los., though wear and tear of the contingent's range and accoutrements are not included.

This account has not been included in the O.T.C. balance sheet, which is published in this issue. I should like to be able to pay off the whole of the initial debt of the O.T.C. this year, so that in 1917 several improvements might be carried out especially in the musketry and signalling. I might say that this corps has never appealed for subscriptions before, though several gentlemen have very kindly given some handsome sums, the latest being from the principal cf St. Edmund's Hall, Oxford.

I am, Sir, Yours faithfully, S. M. TOYNE. St. Peter's School, York.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL, YORK, July 14th, 1916.

DEAR SIR,

May I remind Old Peterites that the fund for the Public Schools' Base Hospital is still open and that we shall be very grateful for further contributions. Since the fund has been started the School has subscribed &8 in instalments. Of this was gained at the theatricals at the end of the Christmas Term, and the sports in the Easter Term yielded £6. The remainder has been collected from the School and St. Olave's in boxes, a donation from the O.P. Club and from collections in Chapel.

Any subscriptions should be sent to me at the above address.

Yours truly, P. B. KING.

heavy fire and suffered casualties. He brought in one wounded man, and then at once organised a relief party which brought in the remainder.

Captain C. Lovell (O.P.) has also received the Military Cross for conspicuous bravery.

Captain J. W. Nelson (O.P.), D.S.O., was one of the prisoners captured at Kut by the Turks.

Gilbert Hudson (O.P.) took part in the Shakespeare Tercentenery performance of " Julius Caesar " at Drury Lane, thus representing the School on that occasion.

DIED OF WOUNDS. 2ND-LIEUT. R. C. BETHELL, 3rd Batt. Alex. P.W.O. Yorkshire Regiment.

R. C. Bethell, who entered the School in 1909, was a brilliant footballer and captained the XV. in 1913-14. He was also elected captain of the Hockey XI. for 1914, but left at Christmas, 1913. He was gazetted 2nd-Lieut. in the 3rd Batt. Alex. P.W.O. Yorkshire Regiment late in 1915, and after training with that battalion he went to France with a draft during last term. He had only been at the front about two months, when his death from wounds was announced.

MIDSHIPMAN H. M. L. DURRANT, H.M.S. Queen Mary.

H. M. L. Durrant, after passing through St. Olave's, entered the School in September, 191o.

He did not stay long, however, as he passed into Osborne in 191o. After passing out he was gazetted Midshipman to H.M.S. Canopus, seeing considerable fighting whilst upon that ship. He

was then transferred to H.M.S. Queen Mary and was in action with that ship in the recent Skager Rack battle. He was one of four officers rescued from the Queen Mary, being reported severely injured.

A few days later, however, it was announced that he had died from wounds.

SEC.-LIEUT.

R. A. HARPLEY, 3/5 Yorks. Light Infantry.

Taken in extenso from the Yorkshire Herald of Wednesday, July 19th.

Sec.-Lieut. Robert Ableson Harpley, the only son of the late Rev. Thomas Ableson Harpley (Vicar of St. Lawrence, York) was killed in action in France upon July 5th. He was educated at St. Peter's School, and left there in March, 1915, to join the Second Sportsman's Battalion. In the Autumn of 1915 he received a commission in the K.O.Y.L.I. and went to the front a few months ago as machine gun officer to that battalion. On the night of the 4th and 5th inst. his commanding officer detailed him with a section to support an attack upon the German line. On the morning of the 5th he was close to a bombing party when he saw the two officers, who were leading them, killed. He immediately went forward and took command of the party, and was instantaneously killed by a bomb. His Commanding Officer says of him The men of his section said that he was fearless and brave, and that they would follow him anywhere."

N.H.S.S. Considerable keenness has been shown this term in the work of the society, although time has not been found for organised out-door study. Individually, however, members have been very active, and from time to time we have obtained specimens of much interest as a reward for our study.

The aquarium has proved a real centre of attraction ; thanks to the energy of some members it has been kept well stocked with several forms of fresh-water animals, and we have been able to follow in detail the metamorphosis of the frog and toad.

At the present time some of us are noting the development of a colony of the caterpillars of the gold tail moth ; which we were fortunate enough to find ; most of these have by now spun up. A fine full-grown larva of the Tiger Moth has also been obtained and changed into the chrysallis since its capture.

In the Museum much good work has been done this term in the proper arrangement and classification of its contents. Although this work is by no means completed, as yet, a considerable advance and improvement has already been made. Among additions, we have much pleasure in acknowledging donations of birds' eggs from Cassells and Morrison.
