In many ways the Christmas term seems to be the one when there is the least news to write about—or so it seems when the Editors of the Pet erite ask for our news. And yet the Christmas term does not seem to " drag," in fact it seems to " fly." Anyway, the term in now practically over, and we can say that, on the whole, we have worked well, we have played quite well, and most of us have enjoyed good health.

The " piece-de-resistance " of our Christmas term, is of course, the annual Gymnastic Display, and the French Play. This year we think almost a record number of parents and visitors came to see what we had to show them. Sergt.-Major Puddick had practised us in a number of exercises which we had not learnt in previous years, and all the forms went through the various exercises without any

The French Play, specially written and designed for us by Miss Toyne, was a great success and we very much enjoyed doing it. We feel that it is something of an honour that we have been asked to present the play again one Saturday evening for the benefit of the Senior School.

After all this excitement we are in the middle of school examinations and then we look forward to seeing the School Play which is to be a very thrilling one, and after that we BREAK UP 1

So for this term we have been able to play football every - half-holiday on the River-side pitches.

We have had four matches, home and away fixtures with Clifton House, Harrogate and Terrington Hall; the results of which were, that we beat Clifton House at York 7-1 on Oct. 17th, and a week later lost to Terrington 3-2 at home, while on Nov. 7th we lost 3-2 to Clifton away, and the following week beat Terrington Hall at Terrington 6-2.

Our team has been rather on the small side this year, and in

consequence the kicking has been rather weak in comparison with our opponents, however, they have played quite useful football and :seem to have a knowledge of the game.

Our thanks are due to Mr. Procter, Mr. Stevenson, who has taken Mr. Davies' place in coaching, and who is taking the Senior - Hugger game in hand, and also Miss Toyne, Miss Turner and Miss Weatherill for the trouble they have taken in supervising the games.

Before the " cold " season began we ran 4 games each half:holiday, and now that the Soccer matches are over, the Senior Game holay Rugger in preparation for next term.
