SCHOOL LETTER. N spite of the loss sustained by the School owing to the departure of so many of its captains, under the able direction of our new Head Monitor, H. G. Crawshaw, we have had a remarkably successful term. Whilst in the realm of sport our 1st XV., up to the time of going to print, has met with but one reverse and many noble victories, in lighter matters we have derived much pleasure from the entertainments. The Musical Society especially has been very active under the presidency of Mr. Peachment. For the Theatricals this Christmas, " The Speckled Band," by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, has been chosen. It is, of course, one of the well-known stories of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. We wish the talented performers all success. The Big Hall has at last been completely renovated as a part of the War Memorial, and should present a very smart appearance for the Theatricals. We wish to thank all Old Peterites who have come to our aid with contributions and to let them know how interested we are to hear from them. Amongst our present members especial congratulations are due to N. K. Lindsay, who has succeeded in winning a prize in the poetry competitions in the Westminster Gazette. Let us hope that others also may see and be stirred to emulate so praiseworthy an example !
