SCHOOL LETTER. HROUGHOUT the Summer Term, the School was in the throes of celebrating its 13ooth birthday. This term, although we have not forgotten the event, it has been lying latent in our minds. We are now, however, reminded of it by the final spasm of the tercentenary celebrations— the southern tour of the 1st XV., for which matches have been arranged with a southern school and club. The weather has not been too unkind to us, and, although the river flooded the boathouse football field at one period, the damage did not reach the new 1st XV. field to any very large extent, and only one match had to be played on the old field. The O.T.C. has had an active term owing to the large number of recruits and candidates for " Certificate A " to be trained, and the Pickering Campaign. This latter can only be described as having been a brilliant success, and, although with all due loyalty to our country we should have preferred the defenders to win, we can only heartily congratulate the attackers on the almost miraculous way in which they pierced the others' lines. The School Sing-Song held in the middle of the term is declared by all to have been an unqualified success, and all those taking part in it, especially the three concerned in the dramatic sketch, are to be congratulated on a thoroughly good performance. Finally we wish the 1st XV. the very best of luck and success on the tour to the South of England.
