SCHOOL LETTER. HEN we come to review the events and achievements of the term now drawing to a close, we find a galaxy of material from which to draw. Whatever the defects of the Easter Term may be, it can never be accused of lack of variety. On behalf of the School we take this opportunity of welcoming Mr. Potter, who has entered whole-heartedly into our midst, especially with regard to the Corps. He has already worked wonders with the band, which even now shows promise of keeping a more or less uniform step. Though we deeply regret the departure of Mr. Peachment, Mr. Potter appears to be a most able successor. The School appears to have been eminently successful in the fields of sport despite the loss of an unbeaten record at football. The main difficulty seems to be to which we should give pride of place. " After much debate internal " we award the palm to Hockey, in which pursuit the School XI. ably led by Robinson, have so far been unable to find a team better than themselves. Their success this year is highly appropriate, coming as it does with the individual triumphs of K. G. Chilman and L. F. Leversedge for England and Cambridge respectively. Rowing this term has also prospered, although bad weather curtailed the opportunities of the various crews for getting together and also rather marred the races themselves, which were rowed on days when the river was scarcely on its best behaviour. Perhaps even more notable than the success of the School House in regaining the Cup after a perfectly glorious race in the final against the Manor, were the attempts made by the former to seek a premature watery grave.
