Ebitorial. It is appropriate that the last term of the School year should be more peaceful and placid than the other two; the feverish , activity of the spring, with its multitude of events crowding on one another's heels, gives place to the calm of the cricket field and the drowsy atmosphere of the river—drowsy in spite of the effort l y ing behind that rhythmical click and swing forward. There Is an ordered calm about the summer, a feeling that there is time and space for everything. The weather may change, rain, heat,' and thunder may come and go in varying intensity, but the summer seems always the same, and nothing comes to dispel the feeling of security which familiarity with it creates.
The weather has, on the whole, not been unkind to us ; we have enjoyed—perhaps endured is a better word—two heat waves and one cold spell, some rain, and a little thunder. The second heat wave occurred—as is the way of heat waves—during the Certificate examinations, and rendered " Certificate Week," with its mixture of furious activity and complete idleness, as typical as ever.
The XI has had a most successful season ; in spite of one unaccountable defeat, they won most, of their matches, and put up a very good performance against a strong M.C.C. side. Their captain, N. W. D. Yardley, has concluded a very successful season by being chosen to play for the Young Amateurs v. Young Professionals, at Lord's. He further added to his laurels in the Squash Racquets world by winning the Drysdale Cup—the Junior Amateur Championship of Great Britain—during the holidays.
