SCHOOL LETTER. " Super antiquas vias."

E must apologise for the use of so well known a motto, but as we have this term celebrated St. Peter's Day, we think it is not quite inappropriate.

Moreover, it exactly expresses the feelings of the Editors in their endeavours to compose a School Letter and to find a new way to express old sentiments.

First we would like to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Toyne on the recovery of Marianne from her two-fold illness, and to sympathise with the anxiety which they must have felt. We are glad to see that all the others who have been ill are now well on the road to recovery.

We are sorry to say that the School has not managed to escape the ravages of " Spanish Flu." But we hope its effects will be short and completely shaken off by the healthy life of the flax camp.

We have to record a very successful cricket season, one of the best the School has ever had. The team as a whole has played well, while Wright's play has at times been brilliant.

The prophecy, which we ventured to make in our last number as regards the success of the inter-house boat races, proved correct, and we saw some exciting finishes.

The O.T.C. has been as vigorous as usual, this term undergoing its annual inspection in June. The camp, however, has had to be abandoned in favour of agriculture.

During the holidays various alterations and improvements took place. In the Science Block, electric light was installed and the laboratories were done up. A new Monitors' Room or Sixth Form Room was also fitted out.

In conclusion we wish Mr. Featherstone the best of luck in the additional house which we hear he has been brave enough to take on, next term.

COMMEMORATION DAY. COMMEMORATION DAY, JUNE 29TH,• 1918.

Owing to the prevailing food conditions Commemoration Day was shorn of much of its pleasantness on the material side, and naturally the number of Old Peterites was somewhat restricted.

As a matter of fact the attendance of visitors in the afternoon was more than up to the average. Holy Communion was celebrated at 8 a.m., when some 8o or go were present. Commemoration Service took the form of an intercession, which was tastefully rendered by the choir. A notable feature was the introduction of the ancient bidding prayer belonging to " the Royal School of S. Peter." Not many know that the School is a "Royal School, whose visitor is His Majesty the King. The sermon was preached by the Bishop of Derby. Immediately after the Service the boys and visitors assembled in the Big Hall. The Chairman of the Governors, the Very Rev. the Dean of York, presided, and the Bishop of Beverley gave away the certificates, which represented the endowed prizes.

The Headmaster gave the annual review of the year's work, after which the Dean and the Bishop delivered their speeches.

We are indebted to the Yorkshire Herald for their courtesy in allowing us to use the notes of the speeches.

The HEADMASTER said : " In spite of the fact that schools are not very easy to work in these days of stress, I think I may confidently affirm that in every way this is the most successful year which I have had the good fortune to review. It is true that we have broken our four years' record of never having an epidemic, if we can call 2.5 % cases an epidemic, and we must remember that these afflictions loom far larger in the minds of those who are not concerned and in the minds of those whose war work is to prove the truth of Vergil's description of rumour, " qui vises acquirit eundo." Our numbers have continued to rise steadily, but I hope to limit definitely the number to 25o (including the Junior School) as I believe that to be the ideal size for a school to get the greatest efficiency. We have opened a new boarding house and filled it, and next term we have managed by peaceful penetration to secure Brantwood, which is next door to the Rise. There are still some things I should like to have done here, and any grateful Old Boys or friend of the School who wishes to leave a lasting memorial, or to benefit education or both, may rest assured that there is ample opportunity, if he would place his cheque book in my hands. Some of the ideals will, I hope, be accomplished by the War Memorial.

For this we propose to panel the Sanctuary with oak and inscribe thereon the names of those who have fallen for their country. '

COMMEMORATION DAY.

Secondly, this hall should be panelled and re-seated, as at present it is not big enough or beautiful enough for this School. Thirdly, we must have Scholarships to provide for the sons of those who have given up much (perhaps their all) for their country. Besides this I should like an art room, a music room, two new form rooms, and swimming baths : these are not in the scheme for the Memorial and I merely throw them out as a suggestion.

Since last we met, our Honours List has swollen and it is so large that I have had it posted, but I regret to say that the list of killed has swollen also, and we have lost no fewer than i in 8 of those serving.

In the School itself our educational successes have been very marked. In the Oxford School Certificate we had 13 passed with 57 credits.' Two boys passed the London Matriculation, and one of them also gained an Agricultural Scholarship at Leeds University. A. P. Agnew gained a Science Scholarship at Glasgow. We have passed two boys direct from the School into Woolwich—L. E. Cutforth and R. H. Metcalfe, and I am glad to hear that the former has already become senior Corporal in his company. The latter here, as you may have seen, just before he went, did a very plucky thing in rescuing the body of a soldier in the Ouse.. In fact, life saving became almost epidemic here, as I have heard that we have also saved 2 Belgians, child, i donkey, and i jackdaw from drowning.

The Corps has more than kept up its reputation. All candidates have passed Certificate " A," and the shooting and musketry under Lieut. Shipley's tuition have greatly improved. The band has appeared so often in public that I think it can well be relied upon to blow its own trumpet. On Military Sunday it received especial commendation from General Maxwell. This year a certain change has taken place as regards the Annual Camp, and in the very midst of war " the bayonet will be turned into a pruning hook. In more prosaic language the O.T.C. contingent is to be used to answer the very urgent call for agricultural workers. Our job is pulling flax, which is to be converted into aeroplane wings, and I may say, that the call to us is very loud, and so I trust that parents will make it as easy as possible for the boys to attend in spite of any inconvenience to themselves in the holidays. Army rations are to be granted and an excellent camp has been assigned, and perhaps the only thing which may damp our ardour is that the O.T.C. will temporarily cease to hold its proud position of the only force in the Army List which is unpaid, for each boy receives 5s. per week.

We have already done a good deal of flax weeding and it proved a very pleasant holiday. `

COMMEMORATION DAY.

In games we have more than held our own, in spite of our many military and agricultural and educational pursuits. In Football we won all our school matches except one, and our record stood as played io, won 7, and tied 1. In Hockey and Rowing we could find but few teams or crews to test our strength, but a most interesting rowing competition took place between the four houses. Good as have been these records, the present season at cricket must stand out as the best the School has ever known. We must congratulate the Captain, T. J. Wright, not only on his own performances but also on the team's, which has won every one of 8 matches played ; and we have met some strong combinations. The four matches against other schools have proved easy victories. It will be a peculiar satisfaction to Old Boys to know that the old Durham match has been revived and we defeated them by 8o runs in spite of their firstrate fielding.

I should like to thank the Staff for their efforts, which have largely contributed to the efficiency of this School in very difficult times. It is a great satisfaction for us to have been officially recognised, as an " advanced course " school under the new Act. The improvements in Secondary Education recommended, I may confidently assert, have been forestalled here.

I cannot end without referring to an event of great interest to past and present members of this School—the Jubilee of Mr. Yeld. Always punctual, always loyal, always at any place or ceremony, where the honour of the School is concerned—there is no compulsory act needed in his case—he will ever remain an inspiration to Masters and boys alike.

Mr. Gould has painted an excellent portrait of him, which is on view in the room, in which he has taught so long."

The BISHOP OF BEVERLEY then presented the certificates for the Foundation Prizes—the only prizes awarded this year—in addition to which the recipients are given the value of the prizes in unbound books. In making the presentation the Bishop congratulated the Headmaster and his Staff and the boys on the wonderful success still attending the School. They must never forget, he said, that theirs was the oldest of the schools in this country, and it was pleasing to think that its traditions were still glorious as in the past. They were very thankful for the success of the school, for the memory of their fellows who had gone out to serve their country and who had brought such credit to their old school. It was a matter for congratulation that the splendid work of these " old boys " was being so worthily continued in so many directions by the present generation of boys. His recollection of St. Peter's School went back a very long way, further almost than that of anyone present, and ever since his first acquaintance with it he had always felt it his duty to help the School forward in every way possible. His lordship mentioned that one of the most curious things he had heard recently was of an " old boy " of the School who had journeyed. " down from Jerusalem to Jericho " in a motor car. In conclusion, he associated himself most heartily with what had been said of his old friend, Mr. Yeld, to whom was owed a great deal in the history of the School.

THE DEAN OF YORK then said that even after its fine past the School was steadily rising in the public estimation, which meant a great deal at the present time, when attention was being particularly directed towards education. He valued very highly his connexion with the School, for it was a real pleasure to watch its growth. He paid a tribute to the versatility of the Headmaster and associated himself with the sentiments expressed towards Mr. Yeld.

In the evening a meeting of Old Peterites' Club was held at the School, and doubtless the official account will be sent in by the Secretary.

HOCKEY.

Pleasing features were the number of new members and the grant of to help in the education at S. Peter's School of the son of any army officer—preference being given to the son of an Old Peterite—who happens to be in necessitous circumstances owing to the war.

It was also suggested by one O.P. that past Foundation Scholars and Exhibitioriers may care to make some special contribution to the Exhibition Fund.

HOCKEY MATCH. SCHOOL V. SOUTHLANDS HOCKEY CLUB. This match, the last of the season, was played on March 16th.

After our former easy victory over Southlands, it was a most disappointing game.

Shortly after the opening of the game the Sfhool pressed and a brilliant goal was scored by Mr. Toyde, shortly followed by one from Bryning. After this Southlands pressed almost continually till half-time and were only prevented from scoring by Platt's excellent work in goal.

Half-time score :—School, 2 ; Southlands, o.

For some while after half-time the play was very even. The School defence then unaccountably broke down and Southlands were allowed to score three goals in rapid succession. After this there was no further score.

Throughout, the School backs, Nelson and Crowther, played an excellent and steady game and were well supported from goal

by Platt. In the second half the forwards lost what little combination they had had in the first half, both among themselves and with the halves.

Final Score : Southlands, 3 ; School, 2.

The team was composed of : Forwards, R. G. Golledge, F. H. Butterfield, H. L. B. Bryning, D. Norwood ; Half-backs, S. M. Toyne, Esq., J. B. Gedge, A. Elliot-Smith ; Backs, J. B. Crowther, H. N. Nelson ; Goal, W. G. Platt.

HOCKEY CHARACTERS AND RETROSPECT. The hockey season was somewhat marred by the absence of members of the team and the paucity of matches.

The backs were strong, but without Wright and E. K. Wood the forwards lacked coherence and scoring power.

BOATING.

303

The best match was against the Machine Gun Corps, when the School put up a stern defence and with a little more accuracy in shooting might have proved victorious.

Played 6, won 4, lost 2.

T. J. WRIGHT (Capt.). Unfortunately crocked in the first practice game and never played again.

F. B. CROWTHER. A sound hard-hitting back.

A. L. B. BRYNING. Unable to play in the early matches, but he proved a source of strength to the forwards in the :second half of the term.

A. ELLIOT-SMITH. A very fine half-back. Hard worker and uses his brains and his stick equally well.

H. N. NELSON. Improved as back and at the end of term was most useful.

W. G. PLATT. A plucky goal-keeper.

J. B. GEDGE. Will make a good player, when he learns to mark out of touch, and come back to help the defence.

R. E. F. TENDALL. An unorthodox player, who does occasional brilliant dashes and scores startling goals.

M. E. REED. A good dribbler, but must pass sooner.

F. H. BUTTERFIELD. A fast forward, lacking finish and stick play.

D. NORWOOD. Has knowledge of combination, but his shooting is weak.

R. G. GOLLEDGE. A pacy wing, who is apt to overrun the ball.

BOATING. HOUSE RACES. SCHOOL HOUSE V. DAYBOYS. On March 11th, the School House rowed the Dayboys. The Dayboys won the toss and chose the right side of the river, although the current was not very strong. The School-house made a bad start owing to a stretcher breaking, and the Dayboys gained a clear length. The Dayboys went away with a spurt and held the lead to the Scarborough Bridge, where the House passed them. From this point the School-house gradually drew away and eventually won by two-and-a-half lengths, the time being 4 mins. 15+ secs.

BOATING.

304

CLIFTON GROVE V. CLIFTON RISE.

On March 13th, Clifton Grove rowed Clifton Rise.

Both boats made excellent starts, but Clifton Grove rowed a much faster stroke, and gained the lead which they kept throughout the whole race. Clifton Grove eventually won easily by four lengths, the time being 4 mins. 3* secs.

DAYBOYS V. CLIFTON RISE. On March 15th the losers of the first two races, who were the Dayboys and Clifton Rise, rowed for the third place. Clifton Rise made a bad start, and had lost a full length by Scarborough Bridge. Clifton Rise gradually picked up, and drew level at Lendal Bridge. The Dayboys made a final effort and won by three feet. Crawshaw stroked the Clifton Rise boat admirably.

The time was 4 mins. 444 secs., which was longer than the two previous races owing to a strong wind.

SCHOOL HOUSE V. CLIFTON GROVE. On March 16th the Final was rowed between the School House and Clifton Grove.

Both boats made excellent starts, but Clifton Grove got slightly ahead. The School House began to draw away at the York City Boat House, and by Scarborough Bridge had gained nearly a length. Clifton Grove then quickened the stroke and picked up gradually, until near Marygate both the boats were level. English then made a splendid spurt, and his crew responded wonderfully, and as the boats flashed past the winning post, the School House were just under half-a-length in front.

Newhouse deserves all praise for the way he stroked the losing boat. The time was extremely good, being 3 mins. 45 secs.

Result : Won-166-42.

The opposing side batted first on a moderately fast wicket.

Their wickets fell very cheaply, with the exception of Capt.

Wilson and Major Lupton, and only 2 runs were scored after the fall of the sixth wicket. The honours of the bowling were shared equally by Wright and Davis.

Our innings opened with Tendall and Nelson, as it was destined to do for most of the season. Mr. Toyne scored 45 in a short fast innings, and Wright scored 22, 20 of them being scored off boundaries. Crawshaw played a really fine innings, scoring 40 in very good style.

Played at the School, May i8th, 1918.

Result : Won-131-49.

The School batted first. The start was unpromising, for the first two wickets fell very quickly. Wright and Mr. Toyne, however, made a fine stand, scoring 38 and 45 respectively. With the exception of Norwood and Elliot-Smith the remainder of the team scored very few, and the innings closed for 131. The honours of the bowling on our opponents' side fell to Lieut.

Rawlinson.

Our opponents were quite unable to withstand the bowling of Wright and Davis, both of whom were on top. Lieut. Pheysey scored 15 in good style, but none of the remainder were allowed to reach the 'teens. The whole innings closed for 49.

BOOTHAM SCHOOL.

Played at Bootham, May 25th, 1918.

Result : Won-88-35.

The School batted first on a sodden wicket, no less sodden by nature than through recent rains. Wickets seemed to fall very easily, until a good stand was made by Crawshaw. All out for 88, our propsects of a win were none too great. The team, however, pulled itself together, and bowling and fielding were alike good. Our opponents' wickets fell cheaply to the bowling of Wright and Davis, resulting in a win for us by 53 runs.

SCHOOL V. DURHAM SCHOOL. Played at the School, June 1st, 1918.

Result : The School batted first on a fast batting wicket. The Durham bowling did not prove to be very deadly and the Ioo was reached in fairly quick time. Wright gave a very good hitting display and Nelson scored his 5o in his sure but slow style. Gedge also made a very good effort. Our opponents were a good fielding side, but they never had a chance of showing their batting powers. Their wickets fell quickly under the avalanche of

Wright's bowling, though their Captain made a good stand and it looked at one time as if they would make the runs, especially as Davis was having an off-day. This deficiency was made up for, however, by Wright, who bowled well the whole time.

Played at the School, June 5th, 1918.

Result : Won-214-81.

The School started badly in the batting line, Nelson, Wright and Crawshaw being dismissed in the first few minutes, and it was only by very remarkable good fortune that Tendall was able to stay in. A fairly long stand was made by Mr. Toyne and Tendall, raising the score from 26 to 123. Mr. Toyne made an excellent 115 off bowling that was " not too bad." The rest of the team, however, met with little success. Nevertheless our total score gave our opponents a large objective. Our bowling was, as usual, good, and our fielding shewed signs of great improvement. Our opponents did not make a very great stand and the honours of the bowling were equally shared by Wright and Davis.

SCHOOL V. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE.

Played at Ampleforth, June 8th, 1918.

Result : Won-154-54.

For unavoidable reasons this match had to be played away again this year, and the 2nd XI. fixtures were cancelled. Our opponents batted first and lost two wickets for 8 runs before lunch. Their scoring was excessively slow, and it must have been a relief to spectators to see some really fast scoring, which they did when Wright came in. Gedge also startled us with an extremely fine and stylish display. As regards the bowling, I think we may safely say that Wright and Davis bowled better for us than they did for our opponents, especially Davis, who took 7 wickets for 27 runs. The whole team seemed better on this occasion, and it was a great test of patience and fielding discipline to endure the monotony of our opponents' innings.

SCHOOL v. ARMY PAY CORPS. Played at the School, June 15th, 1918.

Result : Won-158 for 8-134.

Our opponents, batting first, made a good start, and it was not until we had made a change of bowling that a wicket fell.

Norwood, bowling lobs, was particularly successful in this match, taking 7 wickets for 39.

Our opponents' bowling was not to be despised, but they were unable to dislodge Nelson, who stayed in most of the innings, and gathered 6o odd runs.

It was this match that marked the decline in our fielding.

Until this match we might have justly considered ourselves a fairly keen fielding side, but this and subsequent matches hardly support this view.

SCHOOL v. F. C. CROWTHER, ESQ.'S XI. Played at the School, June 19th, 1918.

Result : Won-174 for 3-106.

This match was played in uncertain weather conditions.

Our opponents possessed both moral and physical support in the person of Haigh. Batting first, they lost 1 wicket for nothing and at 35 Haigh was 1.b.w. off Wright. With the exception of Robinson the rest of them were out for very few.

In the interval a short shower of rain fell, and the ball was very slippery in the bowlers' hands. Haigh seemed unable to

hit the wickets and did not take one the whole of the innings.

Carter, bowling the other end had not got his length and was hit for several boundaries. Mr. Toyne made a good 94 and Wright and Tendall made 43 and 32 respectively.

LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Played at Leeds, June 22nd, 1918.

Result : Won-149-77.

At Leeds we played as usual in disgusting weather. Two years ago it was darkness ; this year it was wind, rain and cold.

Wright and Davis bowled well, despite the weather, and dismissed our opponents fairly quickly. Our own batting was not to be judged by the play on that day, though Wright did some good hitting with Platt and Crawshaw. The rain and the wind made it altogether a disagreeable match to play and watch.

SCHOOL v. S. M. TOYNE, ESQ.'S XI. • Played at the School, June 29th, 1918 (St. Peter's Day).

Result : Draw-144 for 9-200.

In this match we had some really good stuff against us.

Wright was not bowling badly but seemed unable to take a wicket. Capt. Dawson had a very good knock, likewise Major Thorne and Mr. D. A. Hickley. Norwood went on with his lobs about the middle of the innings and took several wickets, but we, knowing Mr. Toyne's ability to play lobs, were in constant fear that he might come at the beginning of one of Norwood's overs and make a considerable score before Norwood could be taken off. Our fears were justified, but not even then was Norwood taken off, and 77 runs were made during the last two wickets, which were not taken until Mr. Toyne had hit 6 after 6 off the lob bowling.

Our opponents had very little bowling, but Mr.' Barnby was very successful, taking 7 wickets. Our prospects were not very bright when Gedge and Crawshaw were out, but Norwood and Elliot-Smith sat on the bowling and managed to give the match a really exciting finish. This match was a blot on our record, especially as our opponents did not deserve to make more than 130.

CRICKET CHARACTERS AND RETROSPECT, 1918.

It is a pleasure to write a review of the cricket this season.

The School had a record year, not losing a single match out of the eleven matches played. Lucky in having two really good school bowlers and a very useful " lobster," the eleven never had to face a large total ; in fact except on St. Peter's Day, the bowling was never collared. At the beginning of the season the fielding was inclined to be slow and dead, although the catching was always pretty sound ; however, after one or two changes had been made, this was remedied, and the team reached a very high standard all round. In batting we possessed a " star " performer in the Captain, T. J. Wright, who has since been asked to play for the Yorkshire XI. at Scarborough and Leeds, while Nelson, Tendall, Crawshaw were all above the

CRICKET.

315

average. At the beginning of the season, the rest were not called upon to make many runs, but they never failed to do the necessary. H. Gedge and Johnston were both capable of run getting.

T. J. WRIGHT (Capt.). A fine punishing bat, whose defence has improved out of all knowledge. A first rate bowler, who is likely to do better against good bats. He must be congratulated on his XI.'s season.

R. E. F. TEND ALL. A good field. His batting was not as good as last year. He had contracted a bad habit of playing across the wicket. A deceptive bowler.

H. N. NELSON. A watchful and painstaking batsman, who proved most useful to the XI. H. G. CRAWSHAW. A promising batsman. After a bad spell behind the wickets, he improved a great deal and it must be remembered that both our. bowlers swerved considerably so that byes were not easy to keep down.

J. B. DAVIS. A real find, as a left-hand bowler: His fielding improved a great deal, but his batting is still original.

D. NORWOOD. A wily lobster, who has courage to bowl some amazing and destructive balls. A correct but rather weak batsman.

H. F. S. GEDGE. Capable of making runs. A brilliant fielder but sometimes sleeps.

A. ELLIOT-SMITH. A brilliant and safe deep field. His bowling was not required in matches or else he might have been useful.

J. G. JOHNSTON. A good batsman. Fielding rather sloppy.

W. G. ..ATT. A safe field. Should have made more runs.

rq

2ND XI. F. H. BUTTERFIELD. Rather disappointing.

F. B. CROWTHER. Useful for the 2nd, but never came off for the 1st.

J. RAMSDEN. Unfortunately lost his bowling, but is developing into a batsman.

E K. WOOD. A hard-hitting bat.

J. B. GEDGE. A good fielder and may develop into a bat.

M. E. REED. A keen all-round cricketer.

316

O.T.C. NEWS.

O.T.C. NEWS. The publication of last term's Peterite did not mean a cessation of the term's activities as far as the O.T.C. was concerned.

Up to the very end of the term—and beyond—the work of the Corps continued, culminating in a brief but thorough inspection.

Advantage was taken of the fine spring weather to carry out Firing Practices at Strensall, where several members of the Corps made a very creditable performance.

On March 22nd, the Corps was called upon to furnish a firing party for the Funeral of one who but a short time ago was a N.C.O. in the Corps. Reference to this will be found elsewhere.

The Cadet Unit has done good work and it is with feelings not unmingled with regret that we have to record that eight of our members have been posted to Officers' Cadet Battalions.

We miss them, but we are consoled by the thought that it is such as they who will uphold the best traditions of the British Army. We are happy to know that the solid foundation laid whilst they were members of the Corps is contributing in no small measure to their success in the wider sphere of military activity and they are finding that the motto " discouio ducis " is not without force.

Our congratulations are due to E. K. Wood, who obtained full marks in the examination for Certificate " A," and to C.S.M. Butterfield who, in order that the powers that be might have their full pound of flesh, passed the examination twice, obtaining the maximum number of marks each time.

The centre of interest this term was, or should have been, the Annual Inspection of the Contingent. This was carried out on June 6th, and the very gratifying though searching report received from the Inspecting Officer is a matter of no small satisfaction, whilst his kindly criticisms should spur us on to even greater efforts in the future.

Important as a General Inspection may seem in the eyes of a trained soldier, a week's flax weeding goes far to supersede it in the eyes of the school-boy.

The party who visited Sheriff Hutton on June loth, and the Day Squads who cycled out, besides spending an enjoyable week, have the satisfaction of knowing that they have " done their bit " in very valuable war-work. It is not unfitting that we should here record our thanks to the people of Sheriff Hutton, who one and all contributed to make our stay there so enjoyable.

On May 2oth those who hold theories on " Methods of Attack and Defence in War " put their theories to the test on Heslington Till Mire. The day ended in an easy, if perspiring, victory for the attacking force. Only the scarcity of materials (due to the

NOTES AND ITEMS.

317

war) prevented the attack from employing a subterfuge made famous at the Siege of Troy ; the timely assistance of a benevolent neutral (?) in no small measure assured their success. The only regret is that the conspicuous valour of the Sergeant who, having strolled up to a firing machine gun, put it out of action with his foot, cannot find more worthy recognition than a mere " mention " in the columns of the Peterite.

On Military Sunday the Corps presented a smart and soldierly appearance. The band on that day won fresh laurels and at the conclusion of the " March Past," Cpl. Newhouse was congratulated by the G.Q.C.-in-C. on their performance.

We have some promotions to record : Sgt. Butterfield to be Company Sergeant Major.

NOTES AND ITEMS. We congratulate W. G. Platt, H. N. Nelson, J. B. Gedge, R. E. F. Tendall, F. H. Butterfield, and M. E. Reed, on receiving their School Hockey Colours.

We congratulate J. B. Davis, D. Norwood, H. F. S. Gedge, A. E. Elliot-Smith, J. G. Johnston, and W. G. Platt on receiving their School Cricket Colours ; and D. Norwood, J. G. Johnston, W. G. Platt, J. B. Gedge and M. E. Reed, on receiving their 2nd XI. Colours.

This term the School Monitors are R. E. F. Tendall, H. F. S. Gedge, W. L. Roberts, F. H. Butterfield, K. H. Rhodes, D. Norwood, P. R. Morris, T. J. Wright, C. T. Newhouse, H. G. English, T. Watkinson, and T. Watson.

Extensive alterations have been taking place this term on the Rise " estate." The back drive of the Grove has been taken in. To get the best advantage out of this, a wall has come down and bushes and trees have been ruthlessly pulled up by the roots. We hear rumours that practical forestry is to be included in the Prospectus.

We also hear that Brantwood, the house adjoining Clifton Rise, is to be taken in next term. The two, we believe, are to be run as one house under Mr. Featherstone.

318

NOTES AND ITEMS.

With the bricks from the wall which was taken down, the wall at the bottom of the field which was destroyed by the fall of a tree last winter, has been built up and continued round the corner. It has been made considerably higher than the rest of the wall, as has also the end near the Fives Court. The reason, we suppose, was to use up the bricks.

The Band under Corpl. Newhouse has once again distinguished itself. It has made several public appearances ; early in the term it played martial music to attract recruits for the Women's Land Army, while on Military Sunday it. was chosen to play all the troops past the saluting base. On this occasion it received the personal congratulations of General Maxwell on the admirable work it performed.

During the flax weeding holiday in the middle of the term, several people obtained as pets young jackdaws. Several were brought back to School and some are still living.

It is worth while remarking that those few who are still alive were slightly older birds, caught out of the nest, while those taken from the nest have all died.

We hear rumours as regards the coming publication of the other paper published in the School, that is the Journal (or Pamphlet) of the Scientific Society. Accordingly we will not poach on its preserves and will only briefly mention the Society, whose deeds are so ably recounted elsewhere.

The membership this term is large, and although there are no Lectures this term, the Society had a field expedition to Kirkham on June 25th.

We have been unable to secure any " Correspondence " for this number of the Peterite ; possibly it is owing to the increased rate of postage. However we should be pleased to receive some, and also other contributions from Peterites past and present.

We wait with expectation the time when the new ration books come into force. How many of the people of York, will, we wonder, find their books invalid or incomplete ? There would be a terrible day of reckoning from such if. they found out who had done the books.

The following are the results of the School Scholarship Examination : Foundation Scholarship, N. K. Lindsay ; Honorary Scholarship, K. B. Hill ; Hey Scholarship, A. Brown ; Scholarship for Sons of Clergy, H. E. Ashdown ; War Memorial Exhibition, R. W. A. Cooper ; Exhibitions, E. Brown, G. Cooper ; Headmaster's Exhibition, E. G. H. Mack ; Day Scholarship, W. P.

EXPERIENCES OF A BILLETTING OFFICER. Being the true adventures of Lieut. X of the Nth Battn. of a Certain Regiment, narrated by himself.

The day before the battalion moves, I go forward—on a horse, mark you—with a sergeant, and find billets for the battalion.

I first interview the Town Major ; he knows nothing and does nothing ; then the Sub-Area Commandant : he knows everything and does nothing ; then the Billeting Officer ; he knows everything and does everything. We then chalk upon the barn doors, etc., in our area the number of men who have got to use the barn.

After that we interview the old ladies of the place for billets for the officers.

I. " Bon jour, madame : comment vous apportez vous : it fait tres froid ce soir. Est-ce que vous avez au billet pour un officier ici avec un lit ? " The old lady answers at 90 m.p.h., continuing for threequarters of an hour and giving Inc a very intimate history of herself and her 13o children who share the only room with her.

I. " Je nong comprong par."

320

THE SPHINX.

After that all generally goes well and she shows me a room where two officers can sleep.

The next day the Battalion marches in and the Colonel goes round to inspect. This is the sort of thing that happens : C.O. to Adjutant : " Where is C Coy's wash-house ? " Adjutant to me : " Where is C Coy's wash-house ? " I to Sergeant (in a whisper) : " I say, sergeant, have you seen C Coy's wash-house, I've lost it ? " Sergeant : " I will inquire, Sir." (He finds out there is no C Coy wash-house).

I to Adjutant : " C Coy's wash-house, Sir, is the other side of that field, Sir. It is a good wash-house where one can wash in comfort, but the only drawback is that the path that leads to it is generally under 3 to 4 inches of mud ; I lost a boot there, going to it yesterday."

Adjutant to C.O.: " I went round that wash-house this morning; Sir, and found it a very good one. Would you mind me reminding you that the doctor ordered you a glass of soda and er - - - milk at II a.m., Sir ? " C.O.: " Perhaps you are right, Captain Dash. Thank you Mr. X., I am glad to see that you don't forget the small details which go to make efficiency in the British Army."

After that I suddenly remember a most pressing engagement, and, saluting with precision, hurry off to find a spare but for C Company's wash-house.

THE SPHINX. O happy he who oft has seen The Sphinx, that scarred and aged face, Whose grand, austere, unchanging grace Recalls a glory that has been ; Which in unmoved serenity Still spreads its odour of the past And breathes a Wisdom earthward cast From Heaven's kind sublimity ; Which seems to tell us that 'twas true That gods once walked with man, nor deemed It strange ; but, as the wise bards dreamed, The World from gold to silver grew ; And now we wretched see the Age Of Iron drawing to its close ; From where the gleam on iron glows Of rust, its end the wise bards gage.

WAR MEMORIAL. Behold the lesson thou canst learn From that vast golden sea of sand, O tell me, dost thou fear that strand, And dost thou, trembling, from it turn ?

For if thou fearest silence, slave, Thou fearest then the call of Death ; For silence reigns, whene'er thy breath Shall flee, supremelf in the grave.

Then dread not silence—'tis divine ; Nor dread that Death should cut earth's ties, The Benefactor in disguise,— Z. Disguised ? Not so the wise define.

ST. OLAVE'S. We are glad to give an excellent report of the health of the School. There has been no illness whatever during the term, which is a matter for great thankfulness.

In School a satisfactory amount of work has been got through, and, in the playing fields, much interest has been shown in the cricket. Three teams, captained respectively by Wood, W. A., Moss, R. S., and Hall, W. P., are playing a series of games, in which, so far, Moss's team has been the most successful.
