House Notes

Congratulations to F. H. Hillyard, P. R. G. Dench, B. Rodwell, R. E. Dodd, I. M. Ormiston and R. R. L. Pryer on the award of their Second XV Colours.

Congratulations to R. G. Langstaff on being appointed Captain of Shooting, and to F. N. Buckler on his appointment as Captain of Hockey for the coming term.

SCHOOL HOUSE.

As another term passes, we once again look back on what has occurred for the purpose of writing these notes.

We may say at once, with regret, that we did not win the Rugger, although, with malice to none, we feel we deserved the Junior Cup. However, we gave the Rise a tough fight for both cups, and we congratulate them on retaining them.

However, the result of the House matches is not necessarily a criterion of the term that has gone, for we have been well represented in School games, and inside the House all have enjoyed a pleasant term.

Inside hobbies and games have continued vigorously, and there have been many fierce ping-pong and billiards tournaments.

Owing to reasons which are obvious, the usual Christmas supper had to be cancelled, but throughout the term the food has been excellent.

Congratulations this term go to the following:—

P. A. Lockwood on becoming Head of School.

R. R. L. Pryer on becoming a School Monitor.

T. M. J. Scott, H. E. Brown, D. G. Middleton and R. S. F. Webber on being made House Monitors.

F. N. Buckler on being appointed Vice-Captain of Rugger.

R. J. McKinlay, E. P. Davison and D. G. Middleton on being awarded their First XV Colours.

I. M. Ormiston and R. R. L. Pryer on being awarded their Second XV Colours.

M. M. Barker on receiving his Shooting Colours.

THE RISE.

In so far as there are events in which to be successful in the Christmas Term, we can say that, for the Rise, last term was a term of success.

We won, against strong School House opposition, both the Junior and Senior Rugger Cups, the latter for the fifth successive season and the former for the second. We would like here to congratulate our opponents on two excellent matches.

Another cup which is ours for another year is the Oxford Cup, which was formally presented at Speech Day.

And, on the subject of cups, we feel that a necessary adjunct to these notes is a reproof in the matter of predictions that Temple would, or even assertions that Temple had, won the Work Cup. (We refer those who have no guilty conscience, or those in ignorance, to the last edition of the Peterite.) Much as we appreciate that they have held it since its presentation, we, at the same time, have a certain pride of possession which requires, for its satisfaction, that we inform all readers, Temple included, that this year the Work Cup is ours.

For internal activities there was plenty of scope last term, there being the usual run of billiards (despite the hazards of the table), table tennis and chess. The Rise railway club has also been revived.

In School games we were well represented. We congratulate especially G. R. Morris on his appointment as Captain of Rugger. Seven members of the 1st XV were Risites—Morris, C. A. F. Cookson, J. R. Frost, A. C. Brown, W. H. Ping, P. H. O. Ruddock and P. L. Hort—all of whom are to be congratulated on obtaining their 1st XV Colours. We also congratulate Cookson on being awarded his Cap.

Five members of the 2nd XV were also Risites, of whom, with Hort, we congratulate F. H. Hillyard, R. E. Dodd and B. Rodwell on obtaining their 2nd XV Colours.

Hillyard and Rodwell are also to be congratulated on being awarded their House Colours.

And finally we congratulate F. H. Hillyard on his appointment to School Monitorship and Head of Clifton Rise; G. R. Morris on being appointed a School Monitor, and P. H. O. Ruddock, A. C. Brown and J. R. Frost on being appointed House Monitors.
