McKinlay is to be congratulated on keeping the Hobbies Cup with us for the fourth year in succession with a truly excellent model of H.M.S. " Cossack." Against these victories we have to set the loss of both Cricket Cups, the House Shooting Average, and the Section Cup. However, we have to record that we gave the Rise the toughest fight for years in the Swimming, losing by three points. A noticeable feature of this latter activity was the success attained by some of our younger members, which we hope augurs well for the future. Inside the House the food is maintaining a very high quality, for which all our thanks go to Mrs. Le Tocq. A happy feature was the improved air raid procedure, which enables us to obtain a reasonable amount of sleep during disturbed nights. In School games we have been very well represented throughout the term, having had six of our members playing for the victorious 1st XI, besides many other representations. Congratulations are due to the following:— D. Anderson and P. H. Lockwood on being awarded their 1st XI Caps. J. P. Pulleyn and D. J. G. B. Burton on being awarded their 1st XI Colours. A special word of congratulation is due to F. N. Buckler for the honour of captaining such a highly successful team. We also congratulate R. R. L. Pryer on being awarded his 1st IV Rowing Colours. M. M. Barker and J. P. Caley on being awarded their 2nd XI Cricket Colours. R. L. Miller on being awarded his 2nd IV Rowing Colours. R. H. Walker on receiving his 2nd IV Coxing Colours. P. A. Lockwood on receiving his House Colours for Cricket. F. N. Buckler on receiving his Shooting Colours. THE RISE.
The Rise finished the year with a record number of cups, thirteen, on the mantelpiece, and only just missed two more, for we were only narrowly beaten in the Tennis by School House (4-5) and lost to Temple in the Average inter-House Shooting by something like .03 of a point. 15
