SCHOOL HOUSE.

Owing to the weather and the curtailment of term, these notes are necessarily brief. In those games which did not, however, suffer from one or other of the above, we are proud to record that all members of the House showed their customary keenness, and the results fully justified their efforts.

The House Hockey 1st XI are to be congratulated on their very fine exhibition in winning the Inter-House Hockey Cup, in which we feel that Burton's magnificent yellow boots can have played no small part. The House First Boat acquitted itself admirably in the final against the Rise, and we must congratulate Motum on a really fine piece of stroking. The experts declare that the margin of defeat would have been a margin of victory in another twenty yards.

Congratulations to Vero and Caley on receiving their House colours for Hockey, and Motum, Miller and Webber their House Boating colours. The following are to congratulated on playing. for the School at Hockey: Milburn, Garnham, Sleight, Caley, Buckler and Clephan.

CLIFTON RISE.

As usual, the Rise have had a very successful term (excuse our self-complacency, but we're feeling pleased with 12

ourselves). We've won the Junior House Hockey and the Boating cups look as though they are fixtures on the mantelpiece. What pleases us is that so far this year we've won all the junior events ; this shows that we have the material to supply winning House teams for several years to come.

From the general let us pass to the particular, as the bishop said to the actress ; or did he—he seems to have said so many things.

Congratulations to C. M. Robson on being appointed Captain of Boats, F. F. Steele on his appointment as Hon. Secretary of Hockey, and J. B. Shillitoe on being made Hon. Secretary of Athletics.

Congratulations to J. H. Butler on being appointed Head of House, C. M. Robson on being appointed a School Monitor, and H. L. Taylor, J. B. Shillitoe and F. F. Steele on being appointed House Monitors.

The Rise has been well represented in the 1st XI: F. F. Steele, D. Cole, J. H. Butler, J. R. Frost, P. M. Steele and C. A. F. Cookson all played in one or other of the matches.

We were going to produce another concert, but this will have to be postponed as term broke up so early.

Yard Hockey was again the favourite recreation of the Rise, but it has deteriorated slightly because it does, at times, resemble Hockey.

Finally, we should like to congratulate School House on their magnificent finishing spurt in the final of the Boating Cup, and on defeating us in the Hockey semi-final.

TEMPLE HOUSE.

The Easter Term is usually an eventful one, and the one that is past has been no exception, albeit that most of the usual events could not take place.

Early in the term the House was disappointed at the abandonment of the Cross Countr y, as we were all prepared to do our best to retain the Cross Country Plate. However, we hope that next year, given more clement weather, we may win this event again.

R. G. Langstaff and J. WIN- . Inglis have been regular members of the Shooting Eight throughout the term, and we congratulate them on being members of so successful a Shooting team. The latter is also to be congratulated on his School Shooting colours.

The only other School award in Temple House this term was to H. C. Belchamber, whom we congratulate on the award of his Hockey cap.

E. P. Bulmer is to be congratulated on his appointment as a House Monitor.
