HOUSE NOTES. SCHOOL HOUSE. It was with deep regret that we learnt this term of Mr. R. M. Cooper's intention to leave us. Mr. Cooper has actually only been in the House for one year, but always during the past four years his interests have lain with the School House, and many of the House's victories may be attributed to his enthusiastic coaching. Through these pages the School House joins in wishing him the very best of luck at King Edward's School, Birmingham.

The only Inter-House sports of any consequence this term were Cricket and Athletic Sports. Temple House had a bye to the final of the Cricket and the House only just beat the Rise by 1 run. The House then beat Temple House in the final : School House, 101; Temple House, 53.

In the finals of the Athletic Sports the School House and Temple House had a close finish. The final result depending on the last race. We would like to congratulate Temple House on winning the Sports Shields. Once again the Rise are to be congratulated on winning the Swimming Cup, which has never been in any other House.

During the term there have been many renovations in the School House, chiefly in the dormitories. " 18 " has been re-painted, and there are new beds in the Long, Incubator and " 18."

Next term the Junior dormitory will be the proud possessor of numerous basins with running hot and cold water. It is on this satisfactory note that we must end this edition of School House notes. * * * CLIFTON RISE. We regret that last term very few activities took place at the Rise, with the exception of the Inter-House events.

We lost the Sports Shield to Temple House, but retained the `.` Fernie " Cup for Section Drill for the third successive year. In the semi-final of the Inter-House Cricket we lost to the School House by two runs, after a very exciting match. We also retained the " Kazerooni " Cup for Swimming with little difficulty.

We are sorry to hear that our Matron, Miss Warren, is leaving us after only a year's stay at the Rise. With her will go the best wishes of all Risites.

Last term saw the innovation of yet another Rise yard game. This time it was a cross between Squash and Tennis, being Squash played up against the Rise wall with Tennis 17
