THE
PET ERITE. XXIII. MARCH, 1922. No. 240 SCHOOL LETTER.

E appear this term in a new guise we have changed our hempen homespun for a brilliant new garment we burst upon an expectant and excited world in all the glory of splendid raiment purple and fine linen. We have a new cover. The design is the work of E. H. Roscoe, 0.P., whom most of us will remember and we owe many thanks to his generosity which has so enabled the Peterite to assume an exterior worthy of the weighty matter occasionally to be found inside. :

It is proposed, moreover, to increase the activities of the School by adding a Swimming Bath to the buildings It is a want that has long been felt, and the project should have the warmest support of all Peterites, past and present. The scheme will be found fully dealt with in another place. That is for the summer and for this term we can look back on ten weeks of sunshine and success. The Hockey XI. under the captaincy of J. Tasker, and the able coaching of S. M. Toyne, Esq., has had a season that can be compared with some of the best the school has known. We should like to take this opportunity of congratulating K. G. Chilman, Esq., on playing for Yorkshire and the North, and B. A. C. Gray on his Leeds University Cap. On the river, although School races have been impossible, the various house crews have had an energetic and exciting time. On one occasion, though, four stalwarts forsook the comparative comfort of a boat for the liquid discomfort of the river : February, we are told, is not a suitable time of year for bathing. Junior Football, too, has been going strong, and a Colts XV. has met Aysgarth and Ampleforth.
