HOUSE NOTES. THE MANOR.
The Manor—no new name to Old Peterites—came into being this term, and was made up of half the old School House and some juniors of great promise. The House was established at No. 17 'Clifton, adjoining School House, and we thank Mr. and Mrs. Jackson for the hard work they must have done to prepare it for us.
