HOUSE NOTES. SCHOOL HOUSE. In opening these notes we should like to take the opportunity of welcoming Mr. Le Tocq, whose interest in shooting will be a great asset to the School. While on this note we would like to express our regret that Matron is leaving us in order to take up a post at the Sanatorium. Yet another indoor sport has been introduced by the House. In the evenings a well-known organist's form-room has been used as a billiard-room, and we are expecting a " national " cap for this game in the near future. Several of the studies are rapidly being converted into aviaries, and already boast canaries, Java sparrows and other rare species. We congratulate the Rise on knocking us out of the Inter-House Rugby Competition this term by 6 points to 3 after extra time, in a very hard-fought game. Congratulations to H. A. Milburn, R. S. Dixon and H. A. S. Hobson on being awarded their 1st XV Rugby Colours ; to T. D. Ambler his 2nd XV Colours. Finally, we should like to wish Mr. R. M. Cooper the best of luck in his new role as a married man. CLIFTON RISE. It was with deep regret that we learnt last term that Mr. J. H. Stevenson had resigned from the Housemastership of The Rise. Mr. Stevenson has done a great deal for The Rise in the few years that he has been with us, and under him we have seen the foundation of the Old Peterite Club and the starting of an embellishment fund. We should like here to express our deep appreciation of what he has done for us, and our hope that he will visit us frequently in the future. In Mr. Corkhill we know we have a worthy successor, and we feel confident that he will carry on the noble work of Mr. Stevenson. We also learnt of another departure, that of Miss Macgregor, the Matron, who is leaving us in order to get married. We wish her the best of luck in the future. 12
