Junior School

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.

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.
