TEMPLE HOUSE.
Temple House has been well represented in the School XV's this term, A. Broadhurst, G. Long, J. A. Denison and R. L. Wyman being regular members of the 1st XV, all of whom are to be congratulated on the award of their Colours, and Broadhurst and Long on being awarded their Rugger Caps. P. G. R. Dench and W. Amos played for the 2nd XV, and the former is to be congratulated on the award of his 2nd XV Colours.
In the Inter-House Rugger, Temple House, with a slightly depleted team, succeeded in giving School House a very good game in the semi-final, being defeated by 11 points to 3. Temple also lost to School House by a very narrow margin in the semi-final of the Junior Rugger. Our Junior team was composed mostly of very young players, against the bearded stalwarts of School House, and their keen fighting spirit and skill augur well for the future.
Congratulations to G. Long on being appointed Head of Temple, and to J. A. Denison, G. E. K. Reynolds and P. G. R. Dench on becoming House Monitors.
Temple House was, as usual, well represented in the play, and we wish to congratulate Langstaff and all the other Templars who took part in it upon a very fine presentation.
THE CHAPEL.
The Very Reverend the Dean of York made the first of what we hope will be many visits to our Chapel on Sunday December 14th, when he read the last Lesson and gave the Blessing at the Carol Service.
We were again able to observe the Two Minutes Silence on November, 11th, during a special Service of Remembrance at the end of which the Head of the School placed a wreath of Poppies on the Memorial to the Old Peterites who fell in the last war.
The Choir has again done good work throughout the term, both in the ordinary Services and in the Carol Service. On Sunday, December 7th parts of Handel's "Messiah" were sung as the Anthem, and special mention should be made of the soloists, E. P. Davison and J. D. Dench.
The Chapel Committee decided to make donations during the term from the Collections Fund to the following :—The R.A.F. Benevolent Fund ; the Hull Air
