Eoitoriat. The peaceful serenity which usually accompanies the summer term has been somewhat shattered this year by the progress of the new buildings, which have risen with rapidity and are now, we are glad to say, well on the way to completion. The workmen have " got on with it " in a manner quite foreign to the traditional British style ! —perhaps, however, a new tradition is growing up. In addition to the new block the asphalt on the parade ground was also renovated at the beginning of the term, to the accompaniment of more noise. But apart from these happenings there has been little out of the ordinary this term, and the end of it is being rendered even more placid and peaceful by the postponement of Speech Day and Prize Giving until the beginning of next term. The weather, after an uncertain start, has been glorious, except from the point of view of those who have had to work for the Certificate and other similar monstrosities. It is possible that at times they found the sweltering heat a trifle trying ! There are a number of people whom we should particularly like to congratulate. First of all, Mr. and Mrs. Toyne on their silver wedding, which they celebrated at the end of last term ; we hope to congratulate them again in 1960. Two Old Peterites have gained coveted honours this term ; we congratulate N. W. D. Yardley on his cricket " blue " at Cambridge, no mean achievement for a Freshman, and also C. N. Parkinson on being awarded a Fellowship at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. Finally, we congratulate J. W. Stead on being selected to play for the Young Amateurs v. the Young Professionals at Lords on August 9th and 10th, and wish him the best of luck. It is the third year in succession that the School has been represented in these annual games at Lords. We should like to take this opportunity of saying how sorry we are that Miss Osborn has had to leave us. She has been Matron at the School House since 1922, and looked after the boys of it with unfailing care and patience. We trust she has completely recovered from her illness, which was the cause of her retirement, and wish her the best of luck for the future.

iRew 1Suiloings an Development %theme. The New Buildings will be ready for use next term, and as we go to press we have been informed that the official opening will be on
FRIDAY, OCTOBER I Ith. Further details will be issued in September. A few points will be of interest to the subscribers and supporters of the Scheme. (1) Already the Scheme has attracted wide approval and attention, and there is a definite rise of 15-20 boys anticipated next term. (2) The full scheme for Form Rooms, Change Rooms, Visitors' Rooms (Old Boys and parents and visiting teams), Art Room, Music Room, History Room has been carried out. (3) The Junior School will be equipped in the most up-to-date manner (4) I regret to say that of the £11,000 required, the subscriptions still fall short of the total aimed at (£6,500) by some £2,400. Will those who felt that they could not offer much, but who would like to be identified with the Scheme, do their utmost to help now ? It would be most unfortunate to leave a heavy mortgage on the School which might cripple it, when the prospects are so bright. (5) I hope that everyone will try to come and see the buildings, if not on October 11th, at any rate some time. I think they will be impressed with the new line of buildings.

Oxforo /Letter. As most of us Oxford Old Peterites had to take exams this term we were almost model students. Admittedly, our good intentions were encouraged by the lack of fine weather, for the rain drove us to our books. We were reconciled to the confines of the Examination Schools when we saw rain beating against the windows. Not that we ever took our eyes off the papers—of course ! Our activities were not wholly academic, however. Toulmin stroked the B.N.C. second boat with great success. Another bump and he would have gained his oar. From the spectators' point of view Eights Week was not all it should have been. As one newspaper-man said to another in the High, " It's a rotten summer lard having this winter." The gaiety of tea on the barges was therefore modified. It is not done to be too well prepared for rain during Oxford's festive week. The gay operas of Gilbert and Sullivan counteracted disappointments in the day.
292 The gayest occasion of all was, of course, the Jubilee. The Oxford Old Peterites were together on the eve of the great day, and loyally drank to the health of His Majesty. Days before that memorable Monday it was hard to get flags of any size. The "dreaming spires" no longer slept, their floodlit features stood out sharp against the night sky. Indeed, Oxford took no mean part in the national rejoicings. Glad we were to hear of the School's successes at cricket, and we hope the same will happen next term on the rugger field. We wish more Old Peterites would swell our ranks at Oxford, if only to win the boat race. And now about ourselves : D. B. Kingston (St. John's) is our experienced business man, for he makes the financial wheels go round at St. John's. He and Barrass are often to be seen going off to feed, but never are they seen returning. J. E. C. Hill (Balliol and All Souls'). It was once rumoured that Hill had a car, but who can tell ? His presence is so much desired by his fellow Fellows that we, as a club, do not see so much of him. While most of us come and go, Hill and Kingston go on for ever. J. A. Brittain (B.N.C.) had to surrender cricket, but otherwise was not much concerned about schools, and was in our midst more than usual. N. J. L. Brockbank (Balliol) determined to dis-" satisfy the examiners " and get a good degree. These are usually alternatives. C. E. T. Moore (Hertford) visited Copenhagen last vacation, where he spoke through an interpreter to 1,500 Scandinavians. Is off to teach history at Hong Kong directly this business of a degree is over. What will happen next ? D. H. West (St. John's). It was a great day last term when we heard news of him. The news was a note warning the Club of his inability to appear at the coming meeting. We knew ho was alive and we rejoiced. R. C. Barrass (Lincoln) lives among the nightingales on Boars Hill. A faithful attendant at Pusey House. Has a practice of calling on Moore when he is out. W. Toulmin (B.N.C.) deserves our congratulations for stroking his College second boat to make five bumps. Toulmin has a way of writing messages in verse, Otherwise his conduct as an O.P. might be worse. Wishing the School every success, Yours very sincerely, THE OXFORD OLD PETERITES.

Cambrioge letter. The Editors of " The Peterite."
Cambridge. July, 1935.
Dear Sirs, Congratulations to all concerned on the rate of growth of the new buildings. We hope to see them completed next term. Cambridge during the Summer Term, is a place of drawn faces, and the consumption of midnight oil gradually, increases as the term proceeds. The passion for unpleasant examinations, which afflicts all departments of the University, is to be deplored, but, unfortunately, deploring it doesn't help much, and the only thing to do is to work and hope ; consequently the O.P. Club has not been particularly active during the term, and the doings of some members are shrouded under an impenetrable veil. Congratulations are due to N. W. D. Yardley on his Blue more to follow. J. C. Close (King's) has sold his 100 pianos and bought a radiogram. He also plays with keys and matches in lectures, but so far has not registered a direct hit on a professor. J. N. Emery (St. John's) has suffered severely from a Tripos. His motor bike becomes more notorious every day, so he tried to buy another from the police, but failed. Continues to have tea with Moore. N. A. Huddleston (Trinity) bought a special Jubilee hat for June 6th. He does not appear to have taken any examinations, so is possibly still alive. L. A. Little (Sidney Sussex) and Clarence (his skeleton) are both flourishing. They won £8 in a sweep, and hold wild gambling parties in 7 Park Street. R. W. Moore (Sidney Sussex) still wields an oar with great effect, and spends the rest of his time on the back of John Emery's motor bike. Each is good training for the other. Has also taken an examination, and is making a film of Cambridge life. V. W. G. Musgrove (St. Catherine's) is never seen. We can only conclude that he is still invisible. H. E. T. Summers (Queen's) is seen but seldom. He wears a worried look, and we suspect that he works in secret. N. W. D. Yardley (St. John's) plays cricket sometimes ; he also finds time to eat and sleep, and occasionally to visit a, flick. Wishing the School every success, We remain, THE CAMBRIDGE OLD PETERITES. ;

Basil Radford ('11-15) is taking part in Emlyn Williams' new play, " Night Must Fall," which is being very well received at the Duchess Theatre, London. THE OLD PETERITES AT THE SCARBOROUGH HOCKEY FESTIVAL. President : S. M. Toyne, Esq. Manager and Secretary :
D. Norwood, Esq., 106 Knightlow Road, Harborne, Birmingham. Captain : K. G. Chilman, Esq. The Headquarters of the Old Peterites was at the Royal Hotel, Scarborough, but not all the team stayed there. It is hoped that those taking part in the 1936 Festival will stay at the Royal Hotel for the whole week-end. It was undoubtedly a great disadvantage to the Old Boys that the annual match against the School XI was cancelled at the end of last term, as this match would have given them a chance to understand each other's play in readiness for the Scarborough Festival. Despite the lack of combination between the players, the Old Peterites put up a very good fight against Hull and District, whilst they were unlucky to lose their second match on the Saturday. The last day produced some very good hockey, and the old boys fully merited their victory for •they were far and away the more convincing side. On Saturday night the Old Peterites' team, which included two present Peterites in D. McLean and S. K. Kazerooni, met for dinner at the Royal Hotel. MATCHES. Played 3, won 1, lost 2. Details :— OLD PETERITES, 0 ; HULL AND DISTRICT, 5. On Good Friday the Old Peterites, led by K. G. Chilman, played Hull and District on the Scarborough Cricket Ground and were defeated, failing to reply to Hull's five goals.
296 The Old Boys started with a set back, for R. Ogley was unable to take bis usual place at back on account of a sore throat. Superior combination in all departments gave Hull and District a somewhat easy victory, but the Peterites had a fair share of the play, and it was mainly the lack of combination between their forwards that let them down. Hull, however, had the advantage of knowing each other's play, and concentrated on attacks from their right wing, who was fast and always dangerous. The Hull goals came at fairly regular intervals, the majority being the result of fine combination by the forwards—and, to a certain extent, lack of judgment by the goalkeeper. The attack was well backed up by a hard-hitting half-back line. For the winners H. Singleton (3), Wells and Riches scored. For the Old Peterites C. C. Houghton played a sound game at back. Team : —S. K. Kazerooni (goal) ; C. C. Houghton, N. W. Smithson (backs) ; D. Lewis (substitute), B. W. Jackson, E. A. Harrop (half-backs) ; R. P. Warin, N. W. D. Yardley, W. Elliott, K. G. Chilman (captain), D. N. Norwood (forwards). OLD PETERITES, 2 OLD BOWDONIANS, 4. (Played on the Corporation Ground on Saturday, April 20th, 1935.) This match resulted in a win for the Old Bowdonians by four goals to two, and the Old Boys were very unlucky to lose. The Old Bowdonians scored two quick goals through S. Marland and L. Hesketh. The Old Peterites were again pressed, and following a movement on the right wing Hesketh had his second shot at goal, which hit the posts and was put in from the rebound by J. Gilbody. After that the Old Peterites, who were playing better than on the previous day, played with more determination, and just before half-time Yardley and Chilman took the ball into their opponents half for the former to score a magnificent goal. ;
On the resumption both teams played good hockey, whilst for the Old Boys R. Ogley was a tower of strength at right back. The Peterites' second goal was scored by R. P. Warin, following a long pass from Smithson on the left wing. At this period the game was very exciting, as the Old Peterites were pressing hard, the halves backing up the forwards exceedingly well. After several raids at their opponents' goal an easy scoring chance, with the goalkeeper cut of position, presented itself, but the forwards were very unsteady and shot wildly. Just before the end the Old Bowdonians made the match safe when they added another goal through Hesketh.
297 Team :— S. K. Kazerooni (goal) ; R. Ogley, P. S. Atkinson (backs) ; C. C. Houghton, B. W. Jackson, D. McLean (half-backs) ; N. W. Smithson, N. W. D. Yardley, W. Elliott, K. G. Chilman, R. P. Warin (forwards) OLD PETERITES, 2 ; THE SCARBORIANS, O. (Played on the Scarborough Cricket Ground on Monday, April 22nd, 1935.) Having rested on Sunday, the Old Peterites met the Scarborians on Monday, and defeated them in a fast and interesting game. The forward combination was exceedingly good—R. P. Warin and N. W. D. Yardley being outstanding. The first half was evenly fought out, and from the start Harris, the Scarborians' goalkeeper, defended his goal admirably, and, but for his stout resistance, the score would have been higher. The second half was marked by some hockey of very high standard, and following a splendid combination between Chilman, Warin. and Yardley, the last-mentioned scored the Old Peterites' first goal. D. Norwood and R. Warin, at left and right wings respectively, were always dangerous, whilst K. G. Chilman failed to show his usual accurate shooting, which is generally much to be feared. The Old Peterites' defence deserves special mention, whilst B. W. Jackson at centre-half always worked hard and was well supported in the field by D. McLean and E. A. Harrop. Ten minutes before the end R. Warin made the match safe for the Old Boys following an excellent pass by Elliott. Team : —S. K. Kazerooni (goal) ; R. Ogley, C. C. Houghton (backs) ; E. A. Harrop, B. W. Jackson, D. McLean (half-backs) ; R. P. Warin, N. W. D. Yardley, K. G. Chilman, W. Elliott, D. Norwood (forwards). OLD PETERITES' SQUASH RACKETS CLUB. The O.P. Squash Club was formed in January of this year, and consequently the first season was necessarily a short one. Three matches were played, and all were won. A strong fixture list is contemplated fcr the coming season, and it is hoped to play matches in all parts of the country. The objective of the Committee of the Club is not to put in the field the five best players every time, but to give all members, of whatever calibre, a chance of a game, and it is hoped that boys leaving School, even if they are not on the School team, will become members of the O.P. Squash Club. The Secretary of the Club is—B. A. C. Gray, " The Grange," Bowdon, Cheshire, to whom all applications for membership should be addressed. It is hoped to enter a team for the Londonderry Cup next season. This competition was confined to sixteen Public Schools, who were invited to compete, but now it is to be thrown open to all Public Schools.
298 O.P. v. LANCING OLD BOYS. This match was played in London, and resulted in a win for the O.P.'s by 3 matches to 2. N. W. D. Yardley was at first string for the O.P.'s, and although not in his best form he had no difficulty in beating J. R. C. Yglesias. S. G. S. Pawle achieved a great victory in the best " Pawle manner " over K. H. Read. This was a very fine achievement, as Read is a very experienced player. The scores indicate the closeness of the match, and in the final game when Pawle drew level at 8-8 he chose " sudden death," and his courage was duly rewarded. In the third match, A. V. Mackintosh lost to D. B. Adams. Mackintosh has had rather a disappointing season. He was confidently expected, in many quarters, to win the Drysdale Cup, but failed to find his best form, and was eliminated in the early stages. E. P. Sewell lost to W. R. May, but this was not unexpected, as Sewell was still suffering from the effects of concussion, received on the Rugger field, and was really not fit for a strenuous match. The fifth game between S. Dodds and R. G. Harris actually went into court first, and it looked as though Dodds was not even going to make a game of it. He started very nervously, losing the first game 1-9, but pulled himself together, and eventually won easily. Dodds is a very promising player, and with a little more experience should prove a great asset to the Club. The scores were: — N. W. D. Yardley (O.P.) beat J. R. C. Yglesias (Lancing), 9-7, 9-7, 9-6. S. G. S. Pawle (O.P.) beat K. A. H. Read (Lancing), 7-9, 8-10, 9-5, 10-8, 9-8. A. V. Mackintosh (O.P.) lost to D. B. Adams (Lancing), 9-2, 5-9, 2-9, 9-4, 6-9. E. P. Sewell (O.P.) lost to W. R. May (Lancing), 9-10, 10-8, 5-9, 4-9. S. Dodds (O.P.) beat R. G. Harris (Lancing), 1-9, 7-9, 9-5, 9-0, 9-3. OLD Ph,l.b,RITES v. HARROGATE. This match resulted in a victory for the O.P.'s by three matches to two. Yardley accounted for P. Yorke very easily, and J. W. Stead at No. 3 did well to beat E. S. Field by three games to one. The scores were :— N. W. D. Yardley (O.P.) beat P. Yorke, 9-7, 9-0, 9-2. F. Smith (O.P.) lost to A. W. Kirkaldy, 3-9, 5-9, 9-6, 4-9 J. W. Stead (O.P.) beat E. S. Field, 1-9, 10-8, 9-6, 9-4. T. B. Bridges beat G. C. Veale, 9-2, 9-7, 9-3. C. B. Robinson lost to J. W. Aspdin, 1 9, 5-9, 3-9. -
299 OLD PETERITES v. SHEFFIELD. This match resulted in a victory for the Old Peterites by four matches to one. Abbeydale fielded a fairly strong side, except that they were without their first string, Evers, who has left the district, but they had P. H. Pawson back, and also included C. T. A. James, of the Escorts. R. Ogley did well to take J. H. Reiss to five games, as this was the first squash match Ogley had ever played, and with a little more experience he should do well. The scores were N. W. D. Yardley (O.P.) beat P. G. Barber, 9-2, 9-1, 9-1. S. G. S. Pawle (O.P.) beat P H. Pawson, 6-9, 9-7, 2-9, 9-7, 9-2. R. Ogley (O.P.) lost to J. H. Reiss, 3-9, 0-9, 9-2, 9-8, 2-9. B. A. C. Gray (O.P.) beat C. T. A. James, 9-3, 6-9, 10-9, 9-1. T. B. Bridges (O.P.) beat R. S. Bramley, 2-9, 4-9, 9-7, 9-2, 9-6. Will all Old Peterites who will be able to play Rugger against the School on Tuesday, December 17th, send in their names to K. G. Chilman, Esq., St. Peter's School, York. We should be very grateful if Old Peterites would submit any items of O.P. News that come to their notice to us for publication in " The Peterite."

Che cientitic %ociety. LENT TERM. On the last Saturday of the term, March 30th, S. K. Kazerooni gave the Society an interesting lecture about the Persian oilfields. There were numerous slides, kindly lent by the Anglo-Persian Oil Co., depicting the methods of finding and extracting the oil, and also the difficulties encountered in conveying it to the ships which bring it to England. On Monday evening, April 1st, J. C. Houghton kindly gave a cinematograph show. The chief item was a 300 ft. reel supplementing Kazerooni's lecture of two nights before ; this was also kindly lent by the Anglo-Persian Oil Co. After this there were several reels depicting School events, some of which were taken by J. C. Houghton, and some by R. White. In the Summer Term the Society usually limits its activities to the annual excursion. This year, after numerous requests, it was decided that the Society should repeat the excursion of two years ago, and visit Lake Gormire, near Sutton Bank. Eighty persons, including members of the Staff and St. Olave's, attended ; this is a record for the Society. As usual, the first Thursday in June was chosen, and the Society left by bus at 12-30 p.m. The weather was dull, but luckily the rain kept off till practically tea-time. A large number of flowers were found, but practically no insects, owing to the damp weather. Tea was taken at the Three Tuns Hotel in Thirsk, and the Society returned after an enjoyable day, at 6-30 p.m. Several members had the interesting experience of launching a glider from the plateau above Sutton Bank. It may interest them to know that this glider, the British Falcon III, is of an unique design, being the first to have two seats side by side. It was designed by Captain Slingsby, of Kiebymoorside, and the flight made on June 6th was its maiden flight, " which would not have been possible who acted as launching without the assistance of several members party on that occasion." .

.
"EN Curtain." This term, because of the rival attractions, of long fine evenings and work for the School Certificate perhaps, it was decided to confine the proceedings of the Society to one meeting. This took place on Thursday
302 evening, July 18th, when a single one act play was made the excuse for an outing in the grand manner. At Clifton Scope at 6-30 p.m. a veritable Mauretania of a launch, aptly named the " Lyric,'f embarked the Society for Bushey Copse up river. Having arrived and having disembarked baggage and fodder, as Caesar would say, we read " The Grand Chain's Diamond," by Alan Monkhouse ; we read this play for three reasons—we had the books kindly lent to us by Mr. Sykes, it is an amusing piece, and we must have been one of the few play reading societies in Britain who hadn't already read it. After this the braver spirits bathed in the river, whilst the others were supposed to be gathering firewood. The watermen were quicker than the woodmen, but eventually we saw the Headmaster show us just how one should light an enormous bonfire with one match—and he did too. Then we ate a sumptuous pic-nic supper which our President, Mrs. Toyne, very kindly provided. After indulging in some post-prandial exercise we arrived home in our launch at 10 p.m., having had a most enjoyable outing, which we hope will be an annual one. We were pleased to have Mrs. Sykes and several members of the staff with us, but especially would we like to thank Mrs. Toyne for the organisation and arrangements for such a splendid evening. We welcome two new members this term, R. M. Deas and E. Antrobus, and old members may like to know that a .full programme of meetings and first-rate plays to be read is being fixed up for next term.
lliews. There is little of note to record in the activities of the Corps this term except the General Inspection and practice for the section competition, which has not taken place up to the time of going to print. The General Inspection took place on June 4th, and there was a noticeable improvement in the efficiency of the drill. The Inspection Officer, Capt. Sargent, from the War Office, took the salute as the Corps marched past in column of route. After the Band had fallen out, Capt. Sargent gave the N.C.O.'s lectures to deliver to their respective sections and platoons. A simple scheme was carried out by No. 1 Platoon under the sergeants. No. 2 Platoon were unfortunately prevented by rain from showing how much better they could do it. In his remarks afterwards, Capt. Sargent emphasized the necessity of as many Cadets as possible taking their Cert. " A " exams, and hoped that anyone who had a chance of joining the territorials either at the 'varsity or when thty left School, would take it. The section shooting competition has been completed, and No. 2 Section, under L-Cpl. Smart, was successful with an average of just over 70. Most of the parades, interspersed between exams, consist of training
303 for section competition. Sgt.-Major Puddick, however, finds time to put a guard for camp through a rigorous training. It is a great relief to everybody except Sgt.-Major that the Corps is going to Rushmore this year. A change was hoped for after two successive years at Strensall ; and it is gratifying to note the low number of Cade:s trying to get off camp. As one has to attend two camps before getting a Certificate " A," it is well worth going, apart from the fact that it is very good fun. The Band, under Drum-Major Stephenson, has put in a lot of work, and as a consequence of their vast improvement they have been entered for the Band Competition at camp. The following is a roll of N.C.O.'s :— C.S.M. : J. M. Atkinson. C.Q.S.M. : N. L. Dodd. Sergeants : M. P. L. Wall, J W Stead, A. W. Douglas, D. W. Watson, D. McLean, M. Hollway. Corporal : P. N. Baines. Lance-Corporals : N. L. Colbeck, R. M. Deas, J. M. Dickenson, J. B. Dixon, M. B. Marwood, N. B. Stephenson, C. A. Smart, C. H. Vasey, R. White.
%booting. Although there have been no School shooting fixtures this term, interest has been well maintained by the competition for the best individual shot, the section shooting competition, and the inter-House shooting. E. Antrobus won the best individual shot, scoring 112 out of 120. P. N. Baines, the holder, was beaten by a point, being second with 111. The latter may claim to be one of the best shots ever produced by the School ; besides his score of 111 in the best individual shot competition, he had scores of 115 in the inter-House shooting, and of 117 while practising. The latter is the highest ever scored in the School range. The inter-House shooting cup was won by the School House with a score of 399, the Rise being second with 382. The scores and teams were as follows :— School House (P. N. Baines, 115 ; J. M. Atkinson, 102 ; R. S. Dixon, 97 ; J. B. Dixon, 85)—Total, 399. Clifton Rise (J. Dickinson, 103 ; R. White, 100 ; D. McLean, 95 ; E. Antrobus, 84)—Total, 382. Day Boys (J. P. Farrow, 81 ; A. T. Wright, 80 ; D. Lynch: 72 ; J. R. Hollington, 69)—Total, 302. No. 2 Section, under L/Cpl. Smart, won the Section shooting cup with a score of 570 and an average of 71.

305 FROM A STUDY WINDOW. It was the evening of what had been a perfect Midsummer's day. Though the sun had set there was still a faint tinge of pink in the West. Night was falling fast, and the trees stood out black against a blue-grey sky where one bright star was shining. Outside the window four or five swallows were playing—wheeling and swerving so close to the ground and walls that it seemed a miracle they did not touch them. In one tree three birds were chattering. Sometimes they were all singing against one another, sometimes one alone sang his notes. Was it a quarrel between a father and a suitor for his daughter ? It made one think so, for after a few minutes' squabbling one heard only two voices, and then even those two sank to rest. Or was it some rebellious nestling which considered that it ought not to be in bed on so beautiful a night ? Whatever it was, it soon, like all things else, sank gradually to rest as the shades of night fell faster. VoLvox. REMINISCENCES. Startling headlines in the newspapers one morning, brought back to me vivid memories of times spent in Quetta. In the country where I was born, Quetta is the only place of which I have any recollection, since I was too young to remember anything before we went there. The large bungalow, standing in several acres of ground, is as clear to me now, as when last I saw it, twelve years ago. I remember well the two huge mulberry trees in the garden. One, which was near the road, frequently suffered at the hands of raiding Pathans. The menfolk would climb up the tree and beat the boughs with staves, while underneath the women held out filthy blankets and shawls to catch the ripe berries as they fell. It was amusing to see them flee, scattering berries right and left in the dusty road at the approach of our faithful watch-dog, " Smoke." One day, during " tiffm," there was a terrific commotion on the verandah ; on going out, we saw that a native boy had unwittingly taken refuge behind Smoke's kennel, thinking it was empty. The dog, objecting to this behaviour, very nearly took the lad's knee-cap off. It turned out that for the last few days he had been running away from his father to escape punishment. While the wound was being dressed the pursuing father came into the compound and took his son away. No doubt the poor boy got the paternal chastisement despite his injury. On fine summer nights our beds were taken outside and we slept with the sky for a roof. One night I was awakened by the violent barking of Smoke, and was terrified when a jackal dashed past, no more than six feet from my head !
306 Often at night sleep was made difficult owing to the terrible noise made by native carts passing by. The superstitious natives thought that noises would scare away evil spirits, and so did not lubricate the cart wheels, which consequently created the most awful groans and squealings imaginable. There used to be an old peasant who lived miles out in the hills. At regular intervals he would turn up with a basket of wonderfully fresh mushrooms and several beautiful ferns, which he gathered from the banks of mountain streams. In exchange for these, nothing was more welcome to him than a pair of old boots or trousers. It is horrible to think that the house in which I spew: four happy years is lying ruined in the midst of a city of dead ; and that the faithful native servants have had their lives cut short so suddenly.

!Buz ic. ORGAN RECITAL. SUNDAY, JUNE 2nd, 1935. 1. Trumpet Voluntary 2. Overture to the *Occasional Oratorio Introduction, Allegro, Largo, Marcia. 3. Air—" 0 Peaceful England " (from " Merrie England ") 4. Marching Song Hymn 204—" Jerusalem "
Purcell Handel
Edward German Holst Parry
(* The " Occasion " was the Thanksgiving for the English victory of 1745. The last movement is used by the 17th/21st Lancers as their Regimental (Slow) March.) The organ recital was one of the most popular Mr. Sykes has given, and was greatly appreciated. In the Trumpet Voluntary a little too much liberty, perhaps, was taken with the tempo. It was a pity the full organ was used so often before the finale, but this is inevitable on a small organ. The Oboe solo in the Largo movement of the Occasional Oratorio Overture was very effective. The song from " Metric England " was cleverly adapted as an Organ solo, and gave Mr. Sykes ample opportunity to demonstrate the solo stops of the organ. Holses " Marching Song " was new to the majority of the congregation, but although it was well rendered, it would have been heard to better advantage on a large organ. After a shaky start the whole School sang " Jerusalem " with enthusiasm and great vigour. The Voluntary was fairly well known and, in consequence, very much enjoyed. ORGAN RECITAL. SUNDAY, 30th JUNE, 1935. 1. Sinfonia to Church Cantata—" God's time is the best Bach Bach 2. Prelude and Fugue in F major Bach 3. Pastorale Parry 4. Unison Song—" England " (Words paraphrased from Shakespeare, by Sir Esme Howard.) 5. March—Pomp and Circumstance, No. 4 in G major Elgar Hymn 200—" Abide with me." The last organ solo was undoubtedly the most popular, possibly because it was more familiar to the majority of the congregation. The Unison Song was given a very satisfactory rendering by the Choir ; although "
308 many people may disapprove of this paraphrased version of John of Gaunt's famous speech : " This Royal throne of Kings " ("Richard II," Act II, Sc. i), it is said that H.M. the King very much enjoyed it at the Empire Day Concert at the Albert Hall. During the term a new chant, "Jubilee Blackbird " (Psalm 67), written by F. H. Barnby, Esq., and a new hymn, " Brooklands " (Songs of Praise, No. 233), written by M. P. L. Wall, have been sung by the School.
Correspondence. To the Editors of The Peterite." Dear Sirs, I should like to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Ping and Mr. Rhodes for the excellent work they have done this term on the river bank. Unfortunately, Mr. Ping has been unable to give us all the attention he would have wished ; I should like to express the deep sympathy of the Boating Club to him on his recent bereavement. Mr. Rhodes very nobly stepped in, and trained all three crews for York Regatta, and also the " Eight." Our thanks are also due to Mrs. Toyne for her excellent tea. Yours faithfully, M. P. L. WALL, Captain of Boats.
To the Editors of " The Peterite." Dear Sirs, Through the medium of your pages I would like to thank Mr. Toyne, Mr. Bourne and Mr. Cooper for their valuable coaching of the School Cricket XI. Also our thanks are due to Roberts for his coaching and the excellent wickets he has prepared, and to Elton, who has given up so much time to come and bowl at us. To Mr. Featherstone all credit is due for his excellent handling of the more Junior cricket, and to Mrs. Toyne for her teas, which are so greatly appreciated. Yours faithfully, N. A. NEWMAN, Captain of Cricket.

ano Owing to the difficulty of fitting them in, it has been decided to abandon the Sports for this year. The hot weather has led to this deceision being received with unanimous approval ! We congratulate P. N. Bathes, K. Lockwood, C. A. Smart and N. B. Stephenson on receiving their School Cricket Colours, and M. B. Marwood, D. W. Watson and S. K. Kazerooni on receiving their 2nd XI Colours. The following have been awarded their Eccentrics Cricket Colours :— J. H. Stevenson, Esq., C. A. Smart, N. B. Stephenson, S. K. Kazerooni, G. E. L. Graham, J. R. Tyson, D. McLean, D. W. Watson, A. W. Douglas (Umpire), S. M. Green (Scorer). We congratulate A. W. Douglas, C. H Vasey, B. J. Eastwood, N. L. Dodd, I. L. Lupton, R. White and J. M. Dickenson on receiving their 2nd IV Colours, and M. P. L. Wall, A. W. Douglas, C. H. Vasey and B. J. Eastwood on receiving their School Rowing Colours. We congratulate G. E. Shepherd and T. W. L. Walters on receiving their 2nd IV Coxing Colours, also G. E. Shepherd on receiving his School Coxing Colours. The cup for the best individual shot has been won by E. Antrobus with a score of 111 out of a possible 120. P. N. Baines was runner-up with 110. The O.T.C. will go into camp at Rushmoor (Aldershot) on July 30th. W. H. G. Milnes, Esq., now Chaplain at Uppingham, was ordained as Priest in Peterborough Cathedral on Sunday, June 16th. The School will be represented at the Duke of York's Camp (Southwold) by J. W. Stead and A. W. Douglas. On Thursday, June 20th, a large number of the School went to the Theatre Royal to see Shakespeare's " Midsummer Night's Dream," produced in aid of the Archbishop of York's Appeal. R. M. Cooper, Esq., took the part of Demetrius. The following back numbers of " The Peterite " can be supplied at sixpence a copy to any Old Peterites and others who may wish to have them for binding or completing their sets, etc.: — July, 1920 ; December, 1922 July, 1923 ; December, 1923 July, 1924, to March, 1927 ; December, 1927, to July, 1929 ; and Easter, 1930, to April, 1935. Also copies of " The Peterite " Souvenir of the 1300th Anniversary, issued in June, 1927, can be supplied at the same price. Old Peterites and others will be interested to know that at long last Hockey possesses a distinctive tie of its own. Many requests had been made that there should be some distinction between the Hockey XI tie and ;
;
310
the Rowing IV tie. The new tie is royal blue with two narrow white diagonals. New House ties have been introduced to take the place of the unpopular and unfashionable knitted ties. After a fine innings against the M.C.C., J. W. Stead was selected to play for the Young Amateurs against the Young Professionals at Lords on August 9th-10th. J. W. Stead, S. K. Kazerooni, D. McLean, P. N. Baines and M. B. 1Vlarwood played for the Yorkshire Public Schools' Hockey team against a Yorkshire XI.
lbochey 'Retrospect. At the beginning of the Easter Term there were five old colours left, consequently a certain amount of team building had to be done. Three or four players seemed to fall naturally into the vacant places in the team, but great difficulty was experienced in deciding upon a satisfactory forward line. Perhaps this weakness in the forwards and the lack of experience of the new members accounted in great part for one or two defeats early in the season. But by losing by one goal only to the Leeds Corinthians the team showed that it had distinct possibilities. Improvement took place very rapidly, and although we lost our second match by 3 goals to 1 against Scarborough the ability of the team as a whole to stick to it was evident. We lost to Scarborough because of bad marking of the inside forwards in the circle. Our first win was not on our own ground ; it was an exciting match which was won by one goal to nil, and all the more exciting because our opponents, the 5th Northumberland Fusiliers, scored an equalising goal a second after the umpire had blown his whistle for final time. In the return match later in the term the School side won fairly comfortably by 3 goals to 1. Our two stiffest matches were against Styx H.C. and a Yorkshire Hockey Association (Central Division) XI. We lost the first 0-6 and the second 0-4, but in neither was the School disgraced, for they were both very powerful sides. The Styx H.C. had seven county players, and the Yorkshire XI was also very strong ; and the score against the School for the County XI conceals our bad luck on several occasions in not gaining reward for clever attacking movements. The best wins of the season were against Doncaster and Hull. Doncaster we beat 3-1, the School forwards showing more dash and snap. Our opponents had the hard luck in the match against Hull, which we won 2-1, for on two occasions their forwards mishit badly with only the goalkeeper to beat. The match against Worksop College, unfortunately our only school match, was lost 0-4. It was played at Worksop on a broiling day on
311 a very hard and extremely fast ground on which the Worksop XI was very much at its ease. Our team was exceedingly discomforted by the unwonted speed of the game, and if we lost to better players we may say the School XI played with commendable dash and spirit right up to the final whistle. The match against the Old Peterites, unfortunately, had to be cancelled. The School will look forward to playing them next season and putting them on their mettle before they go to the Scarborough Hockey Festival. In summing up the 1935 hockey season one or two things stand out ; first, the steady improvement of the team throughout the term, and second, the ability of the team to " hang on " and play with dash and spirit when up against superior opponents. An adverse criticism of the team is that there were too many occasions when players were not using their head enough ; the ability to foresee in hockey, as at all games, is the " sine qua non " of really effective play. The full record is as follows :— Matches played, 10 ; won, 5 ; lost, 5. Goals for, 15 goals against, 23. 1 match cancelled. The annual hockey match between the Yorkshire Public Schoolboys and a Yorkshire XI was played on the School ground on Wednesday, April 3rd. In previous years the Yorkshire Hockey Association have always arranged trial games of Whites and Colours to be played before the XI to meet Yorkshire has been chosen. This year, however, such a match was not practicable, owing to the ravages of influenza and the late date of breaking up at several schools. The School were represented by S. K. Kazerooni, D. McLean, J. W. Stead and P. N. Baines, while five Old Peterites, W. A. Clarke ('21-27), R. Ogley ('28-34), K. G. Chilman ('07-16), N. W. D. Yardley ('28-34) and J. E. Ruddock ('29-33), played for the Yorkshire XI. ;
CHARACTERS OF THE HOCKEY XI. J. M. Atkinson (left full-back).---A captain with sound views. He was
the mainstay of the defence at full-back, and made very good use of the long lunge tackle. He produced his best form at the end of the season, when he thwarted attack after attack. J. W. Stead (centre-half).—A greatly improved player on last season with a sound knowledge of the game, and apparently tireless energy—though perhaps his fault was that he was apt to do too much. A splendid tackler, but must learn to clear to the right more. S. K. Kazerooni (goal-keeper).—Also improved on last season's form and saved his side well on occasions. His kicking to clear from straight drives was good, but was liable, like most goalkeepers, to let the little flick and push shots beat him. But by keenness and practice he improved much.
312 D. McLean (right-half).—A player who only found his true form half-way through the season. Could hit the ball cleanly and hard, and later developed a useful flick pass, but was always handicapped by lack of speed. N. A. Newman (right inside).—A speedy forward who got through a lot of work, but was apt to be slow in the circle, thus losing chances of several goals. Tackled back quite well, but often forgot to get up the field again to work with his centre-forward. 'M. Prince (right back).—A player who at the beginning of the season was wild and clumsy, but improved very rapidly and made himself a useful back who covered his other back well and saved many attacks. D. W. Watson (centre-forward).—A speedy member of the side who worked hard, but who has much to learn of stick work. He gave many nice passes to his wings and could hit hard in the circle, but, unfortunately, always veered too much to the left, and thus got himself out of position. N. B. Stephenson (left-half).—Started the season at the top of his form, which, perhaps, was a pity. His good eye enabled him to make many useful first-time clears. Must learn to get back quickly after losing possession of the ball. M. B. Marwood (left outside).—Started the season as an inside-forward, but was obviously unhappy there. Later he proved very useful at outside left, whence his centres came across hard. But must learn to make ground with the ball. P. N. Baines (left inside).—A burly forward and strong runner who ruined his possibilities by wildness in the circle. Quite a good tackler however. E. L. Graham (right outside). A player who lacked experience. He played one or two good games, but at other times his form seemed to have deserted him. Should be very useful later on when he has learnt to centre harder. -
Cricket. RETROSPECT. The cricket season started in wintry weather, and the opening game -was abandoned in hail and rain. The same thing occurred during the Worksop match, though rolling thunder and lightning added a certain grandeur to the lake, which had been the Worksop wicket. This start was particularly unfortunate, as the team was exceptionally young and inexperienced. The captain, N. A. Newman, contracted the childish disease of German measles and so returned a fortnight late, thus the XI started with one solitary old colour, J. W. Stead. However, it was not long
313
before it was quite evident that the team was a team of triers, who would listen to what was told them—in fact, a side worth coaching. Every member seemed to be trying his best, and it is not easy to pick the individual who shall be deemed the winner of the Jubilee Bat kindly presented by the famous Old Peterite, Mr. Frank Mitchell, for the player who has shown the most improvement. The team was at its best against Ampleforth and Durham, whom they beat handsomely. The fielding was delightful to watch, while Lockwood's innings v. Ampleforth, his bowling against Durham, and Baines' colossal hitting at Durham deserve special mention. The side put up a great show against a strong Catterick Garrison side, but from a cricket point of view the best performance was against the M.C.C. If ever there was a moral victory it was that match. Newman batted well and used his bowling with judgment, while Stead (68) played his best innings of the year. It was a great match, and it was a pity that it had been necessary to fix 6-15 for the close of play. The season may be said to have been successful beyond all expectations, and the only real blot was the Leeds match, which happily I did not see. There is distinct promise among the Colts, but so many promising young cricketers are being spoilt by foolish press notices that no reference is being made to any by name.
1st XI CHARAC l'ERS. N. A. Newman made a conscientious and keen captain. His duties slightly impaired his batting, but his fielding was brilliant—one catch will be a memory—and his •bowling was consistent. J. W. Stead was a vastly improved fielder, and played many excellent innings. In the early part of the year he was inclined to get out lbw., but when he got over this he played well. P. N. Baines, a fine hitter, who also produces some good shots. C. A. Smart, a fairly sound wicket-keeper and a useful opening batsman. K. Lockwood, the most difficult batsman to get out on the XI. Good on the leg side, and when bowling well, bowls very well. N. B. Stephenson bore the brunt of the bowling, and occasionally made runs in a style of his own. R. Tyson has improved steadily as a batsman, and would have had a good record if he had not run himself out so often. Change bowler, but not very alert in the field. G. E. L. Graham, a quick, clean fielder, should be really good when he develops a stronger throw in. Promising batsman, though he did not make any big scores.
314 S. K. Kazerooni, a confident batsman, who also gets good wickets with weird balls. J. M. Atkinson, a solid and keen mid-off—in batting he has had more than his share of ill-luck. Also played M. B. Marwood, should be good next year. D. McLean, a good fielder and should make runs. D. W. Watson should make a first-rate bowler, and was a trifle unlucky in there not being room for him this year. :—

1sT XI MATCHES. SCHOOL v. CLIFTON C.C. (Played at home on Saturday, 18th May.) The School made a good start in their first match of the season, and had scored 222 for 6 when rain caused the match to be abandoned. After a moderate start in which the wickets of Atkinson, Smart and Stead were lost for 42 runs, Graham and Lockwood got well on top of the bowling, and runs came freely. Graham was out at 120 for a useful 28, and Lockwood soon afterwards was bowled when only seven short of his half-century. Baines and Stephenson scored at a terrific rate, and the former reached his fifty in under twenty minutes. coon after his dismissal the innings was declared closed, but rain prevented any further play.

SCHOOL v. STAFF. (Played at home on Thursday, May 30th.) The School repeated their victory of last year, winning fairly easily by 120 runs. Batting first, the School lost three wickets quickly to some fine bowling by Elton. R. M. Cooper also bowled well, but was poorly supported in the field. With Newman, Stead and Smart cheaply dismissed, Lockwood again was very steady, and Baines, after one or two lucky escapes, batted brilliantly. These two added 108 before Lockwood was stumped. Baines meanwhile had reached his fifty, and went on steadily towards his first century for the School. He was last out, having made 116 out of 166. He hit eleven 4's and five 6's. The Staff made a bad start, A. L. Pendlebury and R. M. Cooper being out with only nine runs on the board, but a good stand between K. G. Chilman and S. M. Toyne raised the total to 41 before the former was well caught by Lockwood. Wickets fell steadily after this, only P. K. Bourne and K. H. Rhodes reaching double figures. N. B. Stephenson was the most successful School bowler. He kept a good length and took six wickets for 31 runs. Scores: —

SCHOOL v. BOOTHAM SCHOOL. (Played at Bootham School, Saturday, June 1st.) For the first time since 1925 the School were defeated by Bootham by 42 runs, after an interesting game. Bootham won the toss, and on a perfect wicket scored 227 for 8 wickets, at which score they declared. The School made a good start and captured four wickets for 49 runs, chiefly due to a fine opening spell by Stephenson, who took three wickets for 20 in ten overs. T. M. Scott and M. J. Wigham, however, added 82 runs for the fifth wicket, and the former went on to score a fine century. The later batsmen scored easily against bowling which by now was quite innocuous, and the innings was declared closed with the score at 227 for eight wickets. N. B. Stephenson was again the best of the School bowlers, and thoroughly deserved all his wickets. N. A. Newman was steady, but not at his best, and of the others, only J. R. Tyson looked likely to get a wicket. C. A. Smart was in excellent form behind the wicket, conceding only three byes against some very inaccurate bowling. The School made a good effort to get the runs in the 214 hours left, and C. A. Smart and N. A. Newman gave the side an excellent start, scoring 77 very quickly before Smart was caught. J. W. Stead was out at 105, and four wickets were down for 110, Newman being out when he had completed a very fine fifty. The batsmen continued to force the pace, and K. Lockwood and G. E. L. Graham batted particularly well. Nevertheless, wickets continued to fall, 130 for five, 151 for six, 159 for seven, 178 for eight, 184 for nine and 185 all out. The last wicket fell when ;there was still half an hour left for play, so that the School were still " ahead of the clock." The Bootham attack was not very dangerous, and most of the School batsmen got themselves out in trying to score quickly. Scores : — BOOTHAM. P. Longbottom, c Stead, b 9 Stephenson J. J.

SCHOOL v. WORKSOP COLLEGE. (Played at Worksop on Wednesday, June 5th.) Rain spoilt a game which gave promise of an interesting finish, the match being abandoned after the School had finished their innings. Rennie, the Worksop captain, won the toss and sent the School in to bat on a wicket already affected by rain. Newman and Smart, however, batted exceptionally well, although the wicket was obviously responsive to spin, and 55 runs were scored before Smart was taken at the wicket. Lunch was taken with the score at 72 for one wicket, but a collapse followed afterwards. Newman was out almost immediately, followed by Graham and Lockwood in quick succession. Stead was safe enough at one end, but the remaining batsmen were all at sea with some short-pitched balls on the leg stump, and four were caught at short leg. Baines hit 18 quickly, and Kazerooni and Stead added 20 valuable runs for the last wicket, the total eventually reaching 136. With the wicket in such a tricky state 136 was quite a good score, but at this stage a thunderstorm made any further play out of the question. Scores : — SCHOOL. C. A. Smart, c Lyth, b Martyn 31 N.

SCHOOL v. WEETWOOD C.C. (Played at home on Saturday, June 8th.) The School gained a very easy victory against Weetwood, winning by 197 runs. Batting first, the early batsmen were not too happy against some bowling greatly helped by the strong breeze which swept across the field. Three wickets were down for 40, but Stead played with confidence, and with Lockwood also batting well, the score mounted rapidly. Stead was out at 122 for exactly 50, but Baines and Lockwood continued the
318
good work, and punished the bowling so freely that in an hour' and a half before tea, nearly 200 runs were scored. Altogether the School innings lasted for just under two hours. Lockwood's 50, though not as good as Stead's, was very sound, and Baines, who scored 89 not out in about an hour, picked out the right balls to hit very judiciously. The School bowlers, particularly Stephenson, were able to make more use of the breeze than the Weetwood bowlers had done, and they soon had the Weetwood batsmen in difficulties. Indeed, after the first pair had gone, the innings was almost a procession. Capes brightened the innings with two sixes off successive balls, but the side were all out in an hour for 56. Stephenson bowled well for his five wickets, but all the School bowlers were helped by indifferent batting. The School fielding was quite efficient, though it was not severely tested.

SCHOOL v. CATTERICK GARRISON. (Played at home on Wednesday, June 12th.) A most enjoyable game ended in a win for Ca tterick by three wickets. The visitors won the toss but sent in the School to bat on a soft wicket. They made a disastrous start, for although the first wicket pair put on 14, four wickets were down with only 21 on the board, Cole and O'Gorman taking two each. However, a valuable stand by Stead and Atkinson, which added 37 runs, checked the rot, and took some of the sting out of the bowling. Seven wickets, though, were down for 74. Kazerooni scored a merry and useful 27 which included four 4's and a 6, and then a fine stand by Marwood and Tyson added 48 runs for the _ninth wicke. Tyson, who was last out, batted exceedingly well for his -45, and was unlucky not to reach 50.
319 Lt. Cole was easily the best of the Garrison bowlers, and bowled for an hour and a half unchanged in his first spell. He bowled 20 overs for 20 runs and four wickets. He was well supported by Pte. O'Gorman, while Lt. Smith was in good form behind the wicket. When Catterick went in, it was soon obvious that they had a strong batting side, and the steady flow of runs was not checked by the fall of an occasional wicket. 160 runs were on the board with only five wickets down, but the quick fall of two more before the School total was passed made the result look better from the School's point of view. Nevertheless, the School attack was not disgraced ; the bowlers were steady, and there was a smartness about the fielding which was good to see. Kazerooni bowled well for the School, and Stephenson gave him some good support. Scores : — SCHOOL. C. A. Smart, st South, 6 O'Gorman 4 N. A. Newman, b Cole 9 G. E. L.

SCHOOL v. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE. (Played at home on Saturday, June 15th.) The School achieved their best performance so far of the season when they defeated Ampleforth with comparative ease by 107 runs. Newman won the toss, which was a decided advantage, and he and Smart opened to the bowling of Ogilvie and Wells. The School made a somewhat shaky start, losing Newman at 10, Graham at 34 and Smart at 42. The latter batted confidently fcr his 24, and was out rather surprisingly to a full toss which just hit the top of his wicket. Stead, however, played the bowling with the greatest of ease, and Lockwood looked as stolid and
320 safe as a stonewall. The former was out just before lunch with the total at 74, but Baines and Lockwood had raised it to 98 at the interval. After lunch runs came easily until Baines was well caught in the deep for a characteristic 30. None of the remaining batsmen lasted very long, but all of them long enough to add about 20 runs per wicket to the score, most of which were scored by Lockwood, who kept one end intact and scored steadily until he was ninth out at 205. He was at the wicket while 171 runs were added, gave scarcely a chance, and his innings was worth every one of the 70 runs he scored. The Ampleforth fieldsmen held some fine catches, but marred their display generally by uncertain ground fielding and throwing in. Walter, the Ampleforth captain, was their most successful bowler with four wickets for 34. Ampleforth at no time looked like approaching the School total. Stephenson, who bowled an amazingly consistent length, had Roseminge lbw. with only 10 runs scored, and by tea time three wickets were down for 46. After tea the rate of scoring was again very slow, and the School bowlers never lost the upper hand, wickets falling steadily until at six o'clock the whole side were out for 102. Stephenson bowled unchanged through the innings (which lasted for about two hours), and his five wickets cost him only 34 runs. It was a great triumph of steadiness and consistency, though he was helped by the lack of aggression shown by the batsmen. Scarcely a run was given away in the field, the team's display in this respect being the best seen cn the ground by a School side for some considerable time. Scores :— SCHOOL. C. A.

321 SCHOOL v. DURHAM SCHOOL. (Played at Durham on Saturday, June 22nd.) The School followed up their fine win over Ampleforth with an equally convincing victory against Durham, whom they defeated by six wickets. Although Durham batted first on a good wicket they were all out in just over an hour for 52. Some fine bowling by Newman played havoc among the early batsmen, and when the fifth wicket fell at 25, Newman had obtained four of them in ten avers at a cost of 12 runs. Scott and Woodhead added 16 valuable runs for the sixth wicket, but when Lockwcod was put on to bowl he immediately broke the partnership and in four overs finished off the innings, altogether obtaining five wickets for six runs. The School bowling was good and very steady, but it was nevertheless flattered by the poor batting display of their opponents. The rate of scoring was very slow all through the innings, Stephenson at one point bowling five maidens in succession. When the School innings started, Smart was soon out, but there was never any danger of defeat. The fourth wicket fell when the sccres were level, but the later batsmen scored freely, particularly Baines, who hit 62 in twenty minutes, a score which included two 6's and eight 4's. Tyscn also played well for his 22, and the innings eventually closed for 158. Scores : — DURHAM. A. J. Bailey, c Stephenson, b 12 Newman D. J. N. Hall, b Newman 6 W. R.

SCHOOL v. LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL. (Played at home on Saturday, June 29th.) Against Leeds the team gave what was so far easily their worst display of the season. In batting, bowling and fielding they were much below their usual standard, and the result was a severe defeat by eight wickets. The School won the toss, and Newman and Smart opened the innings on a perfect wicket. Smart was out with the score at 28 and Graham seven runs later, but at lunch the total had been raised to 55 without further loss, and there seemed to be nothing in thc bowling to cause the batsmen any serious apprehension. After lunch, however, there was a collapse, as complete as it was surprising. Stead was brilliantly caught at extra cover off a lofty drive, which looked a safe four, Lockwood spooned one up to short leg, and Newman was clean bowled. Half the side were thus out for 75, but worse was to follow. Atkinson was yorked before he had scored ; Baines, who never got going, was well caught on the boundary ; Tyson ran himself out ; and Kazerooni was also bowled without scoring. The dismal affair ended when Stephenson returned a full toss into the hands of the bowler, and the total was 107. For Leeds, J. R. Atkinson obtained six wickets for 33 runs, but he was helped by very keen fielding and some feeble batting. The wicket was still perfect when Shepherd and Atkinson opened the Leeds innings, and it was obvious that something sensational would have to happen if the School were going to escape defeat. Shepherd, however, played faultless cricket, and at the close had scored 57 without giving a semblance of a chance. He might have been run out in Newman's third over, but the latter had not time to get behind the wicket for Graham's return. The first pair put on 47 before Kazerooni broke the partnership in his first over. He also obtained the other wicket, which fell at 53. After this, Webster and Shepherd knocked off the runs without being separated. Apart from the poor batting of the School, when only Newman did himself justice, the fielding was rather unsteady, and the bowling too orthodox and negative, only Kazerocni really appearing to attack the batsmen.

SCHOOL v. M.C.C. (Played at home on Saturday, July 6th.) For the annual fixture with the M.C.C. the weather, as usual, was perfec,:. So also was the wicket, and the School were lucky to bat first. After an early setback, Smart being caught in Major Whitcombe's first over, Newman and Stead scored quickly and easily. The total was 65 before Newman forgot to get out of the way of a ball which rose sharply ; he was caught behind the wicket for an excellent 29. Stead continued to play excellent cricket, making all his strokes cleanly and giving only one hard chance in the slips. At lunch, after an hour's play, he was not out 50. After lunch he was eventually caught in the slips after adding 14 more runs to his lunch score. Most of his runs were obtained on the off by clean cutting and driving. He was fifth out at 136, but Graham, Tyson and Kazerooni all obtained useful scores, and the total reached 229 before the last wicket fell. Despite the fact that the M.C.C. were without two of their best bowlers, Young having been called to play for Middlesex and Wignall having strained a muscle the day before, it was a good performance, and a refreshing contras: to the previous week's effort. A. C. Jackson and M. Wilson were the best o2 the M.C.C. bowlers, and S. M. Toyne gave an excellent display behind the wicket. The M.C.C., with a little over two hours to get the runs, made a disastrous start, C. E. Anson pulled his second ball from Newman into his wicket, and R. Pullrook was lbw in the next over. With two wickets
324 down and only four runs on the board, A. C. Jackson and Major Whitcombe proceeded cautiously, but the School obtained another wicket before the tea interval, when Stephenson had Major Whitcombe, who had scored 10, lbw. After tea W. H. Alderson and A. C. Jackson scored quickly, until Kazerooni came on and had the latter lbw. with his first ball. He had scored 63 very confidently out of a total of 99. After this two more wickets fell quickly, both to Kazerooni, who appears to possess the happy knack of getting wickets with apparently atrocious balls. A School victory now appeared possible, but a stand between R. M. Cooper and J. M. Dawson wasted valuable time. Mr. Toyne was quickly well bowled by Stephenson, but the eighth wicket fell with only a bare ten minutes left for play. R. M. Cooper was safe enough at one end and M. Wilson batted competently and confidently. One ball from Stephenson completely beat him and just missed his leg stump, but apart from that neither batsman looked like getting out, and they were still together at the end. Kazerooni was the most successful of the School bowlers, though Stephenson bowled very consistently. The School fielding also was good. Scores : — SCHOOL. C. A. Smart, c Alderson, b Whitcombe 0 N. A.

SCHOOL v. GIGGLESWICK SCHOOL. (Played at Giggleswick on Saturday, July 13th.) The School lost their fourth match of the season when Giggleswick defeated them by five wickets. Newman won the toss and the School batted first on a good wicket. In his second over Foden clean bowled
325 Smart with only one run on the board ; Newman and Stead played confidently however, until the latter was caught in the slips, having made 22 out of a total of 34. Lockwood stayed with Newman until lunch, when the score was 50 for two. The Giggleswick attack was as good as ever after lunch, and Abbs changed his bowlers skilfully, but Newman and Lockwood continued steadily. At 61, however, Newman tried to hit a ball to leg off his leg stump, missed it and was lbw. After this wickets fell steadily, no one else reaching double figures. Lockwood batted on until the 100 was on the board, and then, with his score at 33, cut a full toss straight into gully's hands. The innings closed for 115. Abbs, Foden and Harland all bowled well for Giggleswick, Abbs capturing his fiftieth wicket of the season when he bowled Marwood. The School soon met with success when Giggleswick batted, Harland being caught by Stephenson when the score was 16, and Wright being lbw. to Tyson two runs later. After tea it seemed that the School might win. Newman had E. S. Ainaby caught by Stead, and D. N. Ainaby lbw, while Lockwood clean bowled Marshall, so that five wickets were down for 41. Abbs meanwhile had been batting very well, and Foden, who joined him at this point, was not a bit depressed by the state of the game. Gradually the score mounted. When kazerooni came on to bowl, Foden hit him for six, but in his next over he was completely beaten by a terrific off-break. Unfortunately, the break also beat the wickets and the wicketkeeper, when the batsman was yards out of his crease. All the efforts of the School bowlers proved unavailing, and the School total was eventually passed with Abbs and Foden still at the wicket, both 44 not out. Newman was the best of the School bowlers, but Lockwood also bowled well. The School ground fielding was, good, but their display was marred by two dropped catches at a critical point in the game.

SCHOOL v. CRAVEN GENTLEMEN. (Played at home on Wednesday, July 17th.) The Craven Gentlemen brought over a strong team to play the School,. and were lucky to bat first on a beautiful wicket. The opening pair played the School bowling with ease, and at lunch had scored 50 without being separated. T. E. Andrews was soon out after lunch, but H. J. White went on to score a splendid century. He was fourth out at 227, having scored 129 in just over two hours. He hit 18 4's and one 6. The Craven Gentlemen declared at 4 p.m., having scored 275 for seven wickets. The School bowling became a trifle erratic as the afternoon progressed, but the fielding was steady and, except for one or two hard catches which were missed, very creditable. The School had only 2/- hours in which to get the runs, a practically impossible task, so Newman and Smart opened cautiously. The total was raised to 31 before Smart was caught at short leg, but Stead was bowled firs ball and Newman was caught at square leg, and the score was still 31. Baines and Lockwood played confidently, the former wisely playing his natural game, and Lockwood being content to keep his end up. At 67, however, Lockwood was bowled by a full toss, McLean was caught after making 8, and Baines, was also caught at cover. Six wickets were now down for 84, and there was just over an hour left for play. The remaining four wickets fell in about half that time. Atkinson was not out, batting thirty-five minutes for one run, but there was no one to stay with him, and the innings closed for 94. Scores : — CRAVEN GENTLEMEN. T. E. Andrews, b Stephenson 15 H. J.

2nd XI v. BOOTHAM SCHOOL 2nd XI. (Played on the School Ground on Saturday, June 1st, 1935.) McLean won the toss and St. Peter's batted first on a hard wicket. Kazerooni and McLean opened the School innings, and they had put on 50 between them when the latter was out lbw. to Heatherton when he had made 18 runs. A few runs later Kazerooni fell to the same bowler, having scored a steady and valuable 37. The remainder of the side, however, went to pieces—the last eight wickets falling for only 18 runs. Bootham quickly shattered any hope of victory. The first pair put on 64, and the School total was passed with only one wicket down. The School bowling was steady, but lacked sting. T. V. Reed, a Colt, showed promise with the ball. The main reason for the failure of the team was inexperience. Scores :— 2nd XI. 18 D. McLean, lbw, b Heatherton 37 S. K. Kazerooni, b Heatherton V. L. F.

328 2nd XI v. WORKSOP COLLEGE 2nd XI. (Played at St. Peter's on Wednesday, June 5th, 1935.) Worksop won the toss and batted first on a damp wicket. St. Peter's met with an early success when Watson, bowling from the School end, had Harvey caught by Carlton at point with his second ball. Reed then dismissed McConnell with a fine ball, and Campbell, coming on for Watson, had Martin caught by Dixon at second slip with an outswinger. The next three batsmen were dismissed by Campbell, who was now bowling a fine length. Gossop sent back Kingstone when he had made 18 ; and at this stage St. Peter's bowlers were definitely on top, but Ward and Hall defied the School attack and made a gallant stand, which produced 50 runs before falling victims to Watson. The innings closed at 130 with Worksop well placed. McLean took Barnby in with him to open the St. Peter's innings, and they both started confidently. At nine, McLean was bowled in attempting to hook a short delivery, which, unfortunately, kept low. Barnby soon followed, and by skilful captaincy Hall had four St. Peter's wickets down for 35. Boden and Reed, however, put on a valuable 36 runs for the 6th wicket. After this partnership only Carlton offered any resistance. This match was well fought out and was closer than the score indicates, while rain during the tea interval made McConnell, a fast bowler, come through quickly Scores :— WORKSOP COLLEGE.

329 2nd XI v. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE 2nd XI. (Played at Ampleforth on Saturday, June 15th, 1935.) McLean lost the toss, and St. Peter's, were put in to bat on firm, dry wicket. Ampleforth met with an early success, Kerr bowling McLean with a " yorker." The same bowler then dismissed Barnby, and from this point the St. Peter's innings then became a mere procession, only I. A. Campbell offering any resistance. The side was out for the very small total of 42, Kerr and Horner finishing up with the ridiculous analysis of four for 4 and four for 9 respectively. The Ampleforth innings opened disastrously ; Watson had Donnellon caught by Carlton, who fielded brilliantly throughout the innings. Following a good throw in from extra cover, Redfern was run out, and at 19 four Ampleforth wickets were down. The bowling was not, however, handled with skill, and the School total was passed with six wickets; down. The School batsmen invented some very effective means of getting themselves out, whilst their slip fielding was none too good—two catches being missed. Scores :— AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE 2nd XL 2nd XI.

2nd XI v. LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL 2nd XI. (Played at Leeds on Saturday, June 29th, 1935.) Leeds won the toss and batted first on a wicket suited to batsmen. Without scoring any runs, Roxby Hall, Nicholson, Carter and Hardsworth found themselves in the pavilion. The School's bowlers enjoyed some remarkable bowling analyses. Deaton was top scorer with 9, whilst the total reached only 44, which included 17 byes.
330 Barnby and Boden opened the St. Peter's innings. Disaster overtook the earlier batsmen—four wickets being down for 27 runs, but Deas and McLean (18) batted with confidence, and the Leeds total was passed with six wickets in hand. The School innings was declared closed at 50 for five. Each side, then, batted for three-quarters of an hour. Leeds compiled a total of 127 for six wickets—Nicholson 49, and St. Peter's replied with 156 for eight wickets, Carlton (26) and I. A. Campbell (48) batting exceedingly well. Scores :— 2nd XI.

2nd XI v. ECCENTRICS C.C. (Played at home on Wednesday, July 10th, 1935.) In their annual match the 2nd XI were defeated by the Eccentrics C.C. by 32 runs. The visitors fielded a strong side, but the School team should have compiled a larger total. Losing the toss, St. Peter's were put in to bat on a batsman's wicket. Barnby was out first ball and Boden when the score had reached eight. Dixon and Davin put on 30 valuable runs for the second wicket. The ormer batted well, scoring freely all round the wicket. Carlton played some good cricket during his short innings, and Reed, going in at No. 8, batted with confidence for his 16 runs. For the visitors, R. M. Cooper took four for 26, whilst R. Ogley and P. K. Bourne shared the remaining wickets. Rev. F. H. Barnby and Graham opened the Eccentrics innings, and during the half hour before tea only 16 runs were registered. After tea,
331
however, the opening batsmen forced the scoring at a very fast rate, 5; runs being added in half an hour. Rev. F. H. Barnby batted remarkably well, pulling, hitting, cutting and driving in fine style for his 44, which included seven fours. Graham played very well for 32, his off drives being a feature of his innings. Of the remaining batsmen P. K. Bourne mustered 21 and Ogley 13. The School fielding showed a marked improvement, and Reed had the best analysis with four for 41 runs. As usual, everyone was delighted with the excellent tea at Clifton Rise, kindly provided by Mr. and Miss Featherstone. Scores : — ECCENTRICS C.C. Rev. F. H. Barnby, c Campbell (I. A.), b Reed 44 G.

2nd XI v. GIGGLESWICK 2nd XI. (Played at York on Saturday, July 13th, 1935.) Result—Lost by 138 runs. The visitors won the toss and batted first on a hard wicket. During the 20- minutes play available before lunch McLean tried five bowlers without any success. After lunch Watson and Reed took two quick wickets each, but Walker (95) and Sindley (110 not out) took complete command of the bowling. It was one of the hottest days this year—the temperature being 87° F. in the shade. Despite the heat Reed and Watson bowled well, whilst the fielding was much better than usual. Giggleswick declared at 272 for seven wickets, leaving St. Peter's two hours to obtain the runs. Barnby and Davin opened the School innings, but were soon dismissed. J. B. Dixon (15) and D. McLean (18) made a stand which produced
332 25 runs. The score board registered 55 for seven wickets at one point, but some good hitting by Watson (13) and Campbell (38 not out) soon put up the score. When Campbell (P. C.) joined Deas, there was 40 minutes to go before stumps were drawn. The remaining pair batted so well that they put on 51 runs between them. Deas was caught in the slips 10 minutes before time. In his innings, which was the highest score of the season on the 2nd XI, Campbell scored 29 runs from boundary shots. Scores : —

SCHOOL COLTS v. WORKSOP COLLEGE COLTS. (Played at York on Wednesday, June 19th.) St. Peter's batted first on a difficult wicket and met with an early setback when Graham was out lbw. before a run had been registered. The next two batsmen were out—caught in the slips—in attempting to feel for balls on the off which should have been hit to the boundary. R. S. Dixon showed both style and promise as a batsman. Davin stayed at the crease for 95 minutes and scored only 20 runs—refusing to hit loose balls on the off or leg. He consequently lost the opportunity of scoring many valuable runs. I. A. Campbell and Ping made a valuable stand, but altogether the Colts mustered only 70 runs. Had the batsmen showed a little more initiative and attacked the rather weak bowling the result might have been different. The Worksop opening pair started confidently against the bowling of P. C. Campbell and Reed. The latter turned the ball and kept up a good length throughout, finishing up with four wickets for 28 runs. The remainder of the bowlers did not cause the batsmen much trouble, and the Colts' score was passed with the loss of only four wickets. Scores : — ST. PETER'S COLTS. V. L. F.

SCHOOL COLTS v. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE COLTS. (Played at Ampleforth on Saturday, June 22nd.) Ampleforth won the toss and batted on a firm wicket. The opening pair put on 29 runs together, but at this point Reed bowled McManemy and Campbell dismissed Wells without a run to his credit. A fourth wicket stand produced 40 valuable runs. Reed and Gossop succeeded in sending the two back to the pavilion. The later batsmen failed, and the Ampleforth innings came to an end at 99. When St. Peter's went in they had a good chance of a victory. The Ampleforth bowlers, however, ran through the side for the small total •of 43—I. A. Campbell being the only one to show any resistance. .

Vowing. RETROSPECT. The rowing season for the Summer Term opened with a good prospect of keen boaters, with some very coachable " style," although we possessed no real heavyweights. As is often the case, we had none of last year's first crew left to help with their experience, and only three left from the . second and third crews of last year. No doubt all records of games this , :term will have much to say about the weather. As far as the river is
335 concerned we have experienced almost every kind of inclemency except floods. The frequent winds have been a great trial both to the crews and to the coaches. The First Four are to be congratulated on their good performances, not only in their win against Nottingham High School but also in York Regatta, where they were only beaten by such a small margin by the winners of the final. Apart from the Regatta crews, three other crews have been in regular practice, one being entirely composed of ex-coxes. In coaching these, members of the first and second crews have been most useful, and have gained some valuable experience. Before the end of term it is hoped that some form of competition between these crews can be arranged. We have also to fit in a Tub Regatta, the annual Boaters match v. the Bay at Cricket, and, it is hoped, a race against the Cricketers to finish up a busy term. To conclude, the Eight are to be congratulated on a very fine win against York City R.C. TUB REGATTA. A Tub Regatta was arranged, and took place on Saturday, March 30th, in place of the Athletic Sports, which, owing to illness, were postponed until the Summer Term. The races, usual, provided some keen contests, amusing episodes, and unexpected results. The weather was not very favourable, but although there was a cold wind, there was no rain.

SCHOOL v. NOTTINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL.
After some difficulty in arranging a suitable date, we were glad to welcome Nottingham High School on June 19th for the third annual fixture between the two schools. Last year we took two crews to Nottingham, and it was very pleasing that two crews were able to come to meet us here this year. The course for the first crews was from the School Boathouse to Lendal Bridge. Nottingham won the toss and chose the Boathouse side of the river. After a level start the crews rowed together with St. Peter's slightly leading ; this lead the School increased steadily after York City Boathouse, to win finally by a good three lengths in 4 mins. 16 secs. The course for the second crews was from Love Lane end to Lendal. The crews were rowing well together, and were practically level when, about half a minute after the start, one of the Nottingham crew had they misfortune to catch a bad crab which quite stopped the boat. They gat together again very quickly and made up a lot of the lost ground, but the School managed to keep the lead and won by a little over a length in 4 mins. YORK REGATTA, JUNE 22nd. Owing to the nearness of the races with Nottingham High School, which were rowed on the previous Wednesday in clinker boats, it was decided to enter both the first and second crews for the Regatta( Cup, instead of entering a crew for the light ship event. The third crew, as usual, was entered for the Gibbs Challenge Cup. We were not lucky in the draw this year, as both crews met the finalists of the Regatta Cup in the first round. The First Four rowed against Nottingham B.C., who eventually won the Cup very easily. Nottingham took a lead at the start, but Vasey hung on to them well until the corner. After the bridge Nottingham
337 drew further away and won by one and a half lengths. The School crew rowed well and kept their form all through a losing race against a very much heavier crew, which beat all its other opponents by greater margins. The Second Four, who met Tees B.C. who were beaten in the final, also met their match. Tees, rowing with greater length, drew away from the beginning of the race, and in spite of a plucky effort on the part of the School crew, won comfortably by just over two lengths. The Third Four provided us with our only win in the Regatta this year. In the first round they met one Leeds University crew. In spite of the handicap of weight, the School went off with great dash and established a lead by Scarborough Bridge. Leeds made a spurt up the Enclosure, but Moffatt was able to meet it, and the School won a hard race by just under a length. In the second round Leeds University had their revenge, as we met another of their crews. This time Leeds took the lead and managed to keep it all the way, winning by about a length and a half. Weather conditions for the Regatta were definitely unfavourable to light crews this year, as there was a strong head wind and a very rough river. However, considering the inexperience of the crews at the beginning of the season, they all rowed well and should provide useful material for the future, when they get more weight and experience. THE EIGHT RACE. The annual Eight Race against York City Rowing Club took place on Thursday, July 11th, nominally at 6-30. For the week previous, through the courtesy of the York Club, the School were able to use their Eights, and put in some concentrated practice in the evenings. York had out a strong crew, including the four which had wen the Anne Lambton Plate at Durham, and stroked by G. Gill. The race was rowed over the full course from the Ferry to Lendal Bridge, and was rowed in good conditions with a slight head wind. The two crews got off to an even start. Round the first corner York, rowing on the railway side of the river, began to take a lead, and by the School Boathouse were half a length ahead. Down the straight the School, rowing very steadily and well together, drew up slightly, and at the corner by York City Boathouse went ahead to take the lead. Through Scarborough Bridge the School led by about half a length, but here York made a great spurt and by Marygate had drawn up level. From Marygate to the finish was a tremendous race : York took a slight lead ; then the School made it up again and the two crews were absolutely level about fifteen yards from the winning post. Then Vasey put in a final spurt and the School got home by the margin of three feet. I.: was a magnificent race all through, and one of the finest finishes in all the series of close finishes with York City. Both crews are to be
338
congratulated on the way in which they rowed. It was particularly pleasing to see the way in which the School kept their form and their length in so close a race, and in no way lost their heads. Vasey stroked admirably, and was admirably backed up by the whole crew. Cox must be congratulated on steering an excellent course. The crew was : —R. White (bow) ; 2, I. L. Lupton ; 3, B. J. Eastwood ; 4, N. L. Dodd ; 5, J. M. Dickenson ; 6, A. W. Douglas ; C. H. Vasey (stroke) ; cox, G. E. Shepherd. FIRST FOUR CHARACTERS. B. J. Eastwood (bow). Although inexperienced as yet has fitted in very well with the crew ; has a nice easy style and a good rowing build ; is apt to get unbalanced over the stretcher ; works hard and cheerfully. 2, A. W. Douglas. A very much improved oarsman, though apt to stiffen up at the finish and consequently to finish light ; has a very hard beginning and was a tower of strength in the races ; has acquired more balance and ease. 3, M. P. L. Wall. An untiring worker who always shows his best form in races; full use of his weight and uses his legs ; his body finish is rate r cramped and he was inclined to dip his right shoulder. A keen and efficient captain. C. H. Vasey (stroke). A stroke of great dash and life who never spares himself ; has a good racing rhythm and gets the most out of his crew ; is rather apt to hurry his finish. G. E. Shepherd (cox). A quietly efficient cox who now steers a very good course ; useful in and out of the boat and not really more deaf than most coxes. SECOND FOUR CHARACTERS. R. White (bow). A neat oar with a good body swing ; has increased his effectiveness this term considerably ; needs to acquire rather more balance over the stretcher to get a really good beginning. 2, N. L. Dodd. Is hardworking but ungainly ; lack of balance and heavy hands tend to mar his efficiency, but in both respects he has shown improvement, and rowed good races both at the Regatta and in the Eight race. 3, J. M. Dickenson. A glutton for work, with an incurably round back ; had a good beginning but needs more slide control to get a good finish too ; sneezes well. I. L. Lupton (stroke). Led the crew well and kept them going all the time never afraid to work himself, he gave them a good length and plenty of dash personally has rather a cramped and awkward finish, but gets a good beginning. ;
;
339 T. W. L. Walters (cox). Has steered throughout the term without mishap, and learnt to take a good course in a race. Was usually available on Wednesdays. THIRD FOUR CHARACTERS. C. Biscombe (bow). Although light, rows a good blade and keeps a good length ; rows neatly. 2, P. N. B. Hale. A hardworking oarsman with a clumsy style ; with a little more slide control would make a very effective oar. 3, R. C. Davidson. Provided the weight in the boat ; although he has not had much experience he is learning to apply his weight and raced very well. .A. H. Moffatt (stroke). Shows great promise as a stroke and has good length ; has a hard beginning, but needs to improve his own finish. J. C. Houghton (cox). A keen and useful cox, who steered well in the races, although a little erratic in practice. -
%quash -Rackets. DRYSDALE CUP. The School was represented in the Drysdale Cup (the Junior Amateur 'Championship of Great Britain), at the Royal Automobile Club, by J. W. Stead and S. K. Kazerooni. The Championship was held from Wednesday, 24th April, to the following Wednesday. Stead had a bye into the second round and figured in the best match of the day when he just beat H. A. P. Heaslop (Wellington), 9-6, 1-9, 10-8, 6-9, 9-7. The St. Peter's first string played some really good angle shots and deserved his win. In the third round, the last 16, he was beaten by C. S. Panchand (Lancing), 5-9, 2-9, 8-10. Panchand was on top in the first two games, but Stead made a great fight in the third game, which was desperately fought. The result might have been different if Stead had made a quicker start. In the first round Kazerooni beat J. A. flallows (Marlborough), 7-9, 9-2, 9-6, 9-3. The former found difficulty in keeping on his feet, but after dropping the first game he soon settled down to win the next three comfortably. He beat D. C. M. Tomilson (Tonbridge), 9-4, 9-0, 9-3, the latter :having difficulty in returning Kazerooni's service.
340 In the third round he beat F. A. Maughan (Tonbridge), 9-6, 9-5, 9-6, to enter the last eight. Kazerooni started at a terrific pace and played a sound all round game. The next day the St. Peter's 2nd string met W. O. Lane (late Lancing), and was beaten in three games. Kazerooni again set a fast pace, and led 5-0 in the first game. He could not, however, keep up this pace, and subsequently Lane got right on top of him and won easily by 7-9, 1-9, 2-9.
*
* *
Having had a bye in the first round, A. V. Mackintosh (O.P.), who started favourite, was beaten by P. Sherrard (Stome), 9-2, 7-9, 7-9, 5-9. The title was won by C. S. Panchand (Lancing). NOTES. The North of England Squash Rackets Championship was held cn the School Courts from Monday, 25th, to Thursday, 28th March. Fcr the third time in succession N. W. D. Yardley carried off the North of England Championship when he beat W. H. L. Gordon, of the Royal Corps of Signals, by three games to love in; the final, 9-4, 9-6, 9-1. He thus set up a new record, for he is the first player to win the title three times. In the semi-fmal Yardley beat F. Smith by three games to love, 9-2, 9-6, 9 2. In the handicap event, J. W. Stead (owe 1) beat N. Payman (scr.), 9-4, 10-8, 9-7, but was beaten by J. R. B. Knox (-3), the former Yorkshire player, 1-9, 7-9, 7-9. S. K. Kazerooni (scr.) reached the final after beating P. K. Bourne, G. Frampton, E. S. Field and P. Yorke. The last two matches lasted about 70 minutes each, and Kazerooni won mainly by some energetic retrieving and intelligent placing. Kazerooni, who was decisively beaten on the following day by M. C. Consett (owe 5), the Royal Navy 5th string, 3-9, 7-9, 9-7, 4-9, failed to produce his form of the previous rounds. Three School Squash Competitions, open and handicap, were organised last term. In the open championship J. W. Stead beat S. K. Kazerooni in five games, whilst in the senior handicap event Kazerooni (-5) beat Stead (-6) in four games. The junior handicap event was won by G. W. Russell, who defeated R. G. Hawkins by three games to love. In the complete season, 1934-35, the School team has played seven matches and won 4. They have won 66 games to their opponents 53, and have scored 71 points more than cp.,-,osing teams. -

Cennts. We have been very fortunate this year in having good weather, and the School grass court was very popular throughout the term. Despite the drought the court has been in good condition, but there is a great demand for some new grass courts. However, the Headmaster has promised us two new grass courts which, we are informed, will be laid down in front of the new buildings. A tournament was arranged, and in the final D. G. Barnby beat M. Hollway, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, after a very good struggle. The winner scored a surprising victory over J. W. Stead in the semi-final. We have played two matches—against the Staff and Clifton T.C.so far, and we hope to play at least two more before the term ends. The thanks of the Tennis Club are due to Mr. F. Smith for the valuable work which he has put in with the members, and to Mr. Ping for the loan of his court for our matches. At the beginning of the term S. K. Kazerooni was appointed Secretary of tennis, whilst J. H. Stevenson, Esq., has kindly consented to act as Treasurer. SCHOOL v. STAFF. Played at home on Monday, July 8th, 1935. Result—Won 5-4. The School team recorded an unexpected win against the Staff by five matches to four. This win was mainly due to the brilliant play by the School 1st string, J. W. Stead and D. G. Barnby. Kazerooni and Hollway played below their form, whilst Newman and Deas played exceedingly well. For the Staff, P. K. Bourne, Esq., and A. L. Pendlebury, Esq., played well. At one stage they required three points to beat the School 1st string. Details :— J. W. Stead and D. G. Barnby beat F. Smith, Esq., and J. H. Stevenson, Esq., 6-2, 8-6 ; beat P. K. Bourne, Esq., and A. L. Pendlebury, Esq., 7-5, 7-5 ; beat K. H. Rhodes, Esq., and G. C. McClaurin, Esq., 6-1, 6-0. S. K. Kazerooni and M. Hollway beat K. H. Rhodes, Esq., and G. C. McClaurin, Esq., 6-1, 6-0 ; lost to F. Smith, Esq., and J. H. Stevenson, Esq., 4-6, 6-8 ; lost to P. K. Bourne, Esq., and A. L. Pendlebury, Esq., 1-6, 6-8. N. A. Newman and R. M. Deas beat K. H. Rhodes, Esq., and G. C. McClaurin, Esq., 6-4, 6-4 ; lost to P. K. Bourne, Esq., and A. L. Pendlebury, Esq., 2-6, 2-6 ; lost to F. Smith, Esq., and J. H. Stevenson, Esq., 4-6, 1-6.
343 SCHOOL v. CLIFTON TENNIS CLUB. Played on Clifton Ings Courts on Tuesday, July 9th. Result—Lost 1-7. The School team were severely defeated by a strong team representing Clifton T.C. Stead and Barnby were easily defeated by F. Smith and G. R. Moxon, but they gave a good display against W. L. Pratt and Col. Royle. They were compelled to stop, owing to bad light, in their third match, after winning the first set. Kazerooni and Hollway again failed to combine together, whilst Newman and Deas played some good tennis. Results :— J. W. Stead and D. G. Barnby lost to F. Smith and G. R. Moxon, 3-6, 3-6 beat W. L. Pratt and Col. Royle, 6-2, 2-6, 6 4 ; won 1st set (6-1) against J. C. Warner and Dr. Goodman Plats. S. K. Kazerooni and M. Hollway lost to F. Smith and G. R. Moxon, 4-6, 0-6 ; lost to J. C. Warner and Dr. Goodman Platts, 2-6, 3-6; lost to W. L. Pratt and Col. Royle, 4-6, 1-6. N. A. Newman and R. M. Deas lost to F. Smith and G. R.Moxon, 4-6, 0-6 lost to J. C.

Ebe 3untor Zcbool. The move across the road to " The Grove" had been accomplished when we returned to School after the King's Jubilee Day, and we found that "Clifton Grove " was now the new St. Olave's, freshly painted and repaired from top to bottom. It took us all quite a time to settle to the new arrangements and fresh places for all our belongings, but now we all feel that we like the change very much indeed. There are heaps of reasons—so many that we are sure the Editors of " The Peterite " will not print them all if we write them ! But we do like to be able to run straight out to the playing fields after school, and we like the change room much better than the old one etc., etc. The weather this term has been peculiar ! It was too cold for bathing until the first week in June, and even then there were many cool evenings when bathing wasn't really attractive. In July the water has been almost too warm, thanks to the het sun. Still, we have thoroughly enjoyed " the Baths." Out of the 81 boys in the Junior School this term we find that only 28 boys have passed the School Swimming Test, so we hope that several more will pass before term ends. The following boys passed the test this term : —D. Cole, J. A. Denison, R. Langstaff, P. A. Lockwood, J. Scholey, R. L. Stead, F. F. Steele, E. 0. Waudby, R. A. Wright. On Whit-Monday the School had the usual half-holiday, and the boarders enjoyed their usual outing and tea. Although Mr. Ping led the bus by a different route, we actually arrived at the same place we visited last year, Pond Head Lake, near Gilling. Some of us fished (we didn't catch anything !), some of us paddled, and others explored (and some of us, guided by Mr. A.L.P., got lost—for a time !). Anyway, we were all quite ready for the most scrumptious tea provided at the Farmhouse, where for some time the only remarks heard were such as : " P-p-pass the cream buns, p-p-please." On June 20th we went to the performance of " A Midsummer Night's Dream " in the York Theatre, and we enjoyed it very much indeed. We heartily congratulate M. J. Buckle, who won a House Exhibition, and D. T. Rumfitt, who won a Day Boy Scholarship in St. Peter's Scholarship Examinations. And then the term has just flown along, full of incidents to many of us until the School exams came and we invaded the Senior School buildings because our temporary premises weren't big enough for us. Oh ! and that reminds us ! —the roof is now actually on a part of ourl new building ! The whole block has grown marvellously during the term. Before this term closes the Scouts are going to camp at Aldby Park on July 18th for a long week-end, and we are hoping to have our Swimming Sports before we break up for our Summer holidays. .
.
.
.
347 In closing we should like to express our very best wishes for success to Mr. A. L. Pendlebury, O.P., who has been with us for nearly two years, and who is now leaving us. We hope he will come and see us when he is able to do so.

%t. Olave's Cricket. We have enjoyed games on most half holidays this term, and although on one occasion " snow stopped play," the weather on the whole has been kind to us. There have been four games each Tuesday and Thursday. Mr. Pendlebury, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Procter and Miss Turner have taken them and we should like to thank them. The team has been unfortunate, as in two of the three matches they have played they have been unable to force a victory when in a favourable position. In the first match against St. Bede's we batted first, and in between the showers we made 58 for three, at which score we declared. They had scored 17 for five wickets when rain stopped play. In the Fathers' match they batted first and declared at 131 for eight. We had scored 109 for three, of which Lynch, the captain, made a good 63, when stumps had to be drawn. The Terrington match at home was cancelled, but on their ground they beat us. We batted first and were all out for 60, always struggling for runs under unfamiliar conditions. They were 29 for five, but they then had a good stand, and passed our total for the loss of seven wickets, eventually making 89.
