the Peterite. Vol. XXVII. APRIL, 1935.
No. 279
Eoitoriat. The Easter term has been as busy as usual, with no lack of variety from week to week, and from day to day. The new development scheme has proceeded apace—as we write this the Art Hut is being dismantled, preparatory to being bodily removed to some new resting place. Contributions continue to flow in, and we sincerely hope they will still do so, now that the scheme is launched well on its way. Wonderful changes have been wrought in that historic mansion, Clifton Grove, which is to accommodate the Junior School next term, and work is to begin on the new block itself any moment. We are very pleased to note the increased activities of Old Peterites as such. An Old Peterite Hockey team is to take part in the Hockey Festival, at Scarborough, this Easter, and an Old Peterite Squash Racquets team played Lancing Old Boys with success. We wish both these ventures every possible success, and we hope to see more like them. The Hockey team now goes forth to the fray arrayed in striking blue and white shirts and stockings—new colours, which are a great improvement on the old plain white shirts. Inspired by these, they have met with some success, and have improved a lot during the term. Another new event this term has been the Inter-House Squash, which was decided by teams of three, instead of by the winner of the open competition. There was a thrilling contest between the Rise and School House, and the former are to be congratulated on their victory. The Rise also won the Cross-Country Plate and the 1st Division Boating Cup, and we congratulate them on these achievements as well. The House Rugby matches were, as usual, very closely contested, and we congratulate the School House on their success in these, and in the Inter-House Boxing, which they also won. We are glad to say the School has maintained its remarkable record of good health. In many schools epidemics of some kind or other are almost taken for granted in the Easter team ; here they are, happily, very rare.
