Oxford Letter

The School is pleased to welcome Mlle. Lietart this term as a French mistress, and although occasionally we find it bard to understand each other without the aid of graphic gesticulations, we certainly learn a great deal from one born and bred in the language.

We will be very sorry to lose Mr. Potter, who as Art master for the last few years has not only organised Art exhibitions on a most ambitious scale on Commemoration days, but has also given us some good stage scenery, helped in the training of the band, and taken a whole-hearted interest in the general activities of the School.

OXFORD O.P. LETTER.

DEAR SIRS, As usual, the Lent term has not passed without giving us an opportunity of seeing Oxford's ancient towers covered with snow ; but we have been lucky to view them so often gleaming in the sunshine we enjoyed in the middle of the term

Torpids and Preliminary Schools have been successively engaging the attention of many of us, so the term has been a busy one.

H. N. Hodd (Keble), as Captain of Boats, has been coaching his Toggers with successful results. He has also been doing some really hard work for History Schools next term.

E. G. H. Mack (Wadham), teaches, plays rugger, and takes a Group now and then. He believes in the strenuous life.

P. Young (St. Edmund Hall), has been playing Hockey and spending much time beneath the Radcliffe Dome. His journeys to the West Country appear very mysterious.

J. C. Rodgers (Keble), added greatly to the laurels of the School by his outstanding success in the O.U.D.S. play " The Fourteenth of July." Many papers, including " The Times," singled him out for commendation. Final Schools next term have prevented him from signing a contract (for a fabulous sum) with a well-known film company. But his destiny may yet be to outshine Lloyd, Fairbanks, and Chaplin.

N. Dobree (Balliol), did not thus succumb to the lure of the footlights, for his car held greater attractions. Even a London

OXFORD LETTER. 353 policeman could not endure the noise it made and we regret to state that its owner came into (temporary) contact with the Powers That Be in a Court of Law.

T. C. Rainford (Keble), believes in the maxim that " forewarned is forearmed " and accordingly has been taking Law Prelim. and eating Bar dinners.

H. McGoverne (Lincoln), made a great success in the O.U.D.S. play ; indeed two Peterites took the two most important parts. As was inevitable, he is a well-known aesthete (and also a friend of Ivor Novello).

F. W. B. Pacey (Keble), has rowed in the Keble Torpid and taken Law Prelim. Music continues to occupy much of his time. • J. S. Fryer (Wadham), plays Hockey but his other doings have yet to be brought to light. He has strong literary aspirations.

A. G. Moore (Queen's), has been busy for Schools this term. His recklessness in the Motor Club has already earned him the nick-name " Segrave the Second."

H. B. Jeffares (Exeter), is reading Law ; he rowed in the very successful Exeter Second Togger.

H. B. Linton (St. Edmund Hall), has been engaged on educational work at Southampton, but we hope to have him with us again next term.

The Oxford O.P. Club Dinner will be held at Stewart's o]i Tuesday, May 1st. Any Oxford O.P. who, througil inadvertana , has not received an invitation, should communicate at once with the Hon. Sec., St. Edmund Hall. Wishing the School every success, We are, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, THE OXFORD O.P's.
