ever, held firm against the repeated and spirited attacks of the York side, who on several occasions came within inches of crossing the Durham line. Penniston and Davison were an especially clever combination among the School backs, and they initiated several threatening attacks. Leigh handled a slippery ball well at scrum-half, while Wyman played an excellent game in the line-out. Having regard to the extremely trying conditions for running and handling successfully, this match was full of hard, fast and good football, and although they were beaten, the School team can have every satisfaction with their showing in this match.
THE JUNIOR SCHOOL. Readers of " The Peterite " must sometimes have wondered whether the accommodation at St. Olave's is elastic, especially as during the last few years we seem to be continually recording a further increase in numbers. However, last term the limit was reached at 130, and it is pleasing to be able to say that the very large leave at the end of the Summer Term has been entirely replaced. The general arrangement of Forms remains the same except that J. I and J. II are now kept separate for most teaching periods, and this gives an opportunity for more individual attention for the youngest boys. The Special and Form Prizes won by boys of the Junior School were presented on Speech Day, on October 29th, when the attendance of visitors was so large that our applause had to be given from a side room. After Speech Day a half-term holiday was allowed, and this was much appreciated, in spite of the difficulties of travelling for some of the boarders. With Mr. Walshaw as chairman, the Stamp Club has held regular and very successful meetings, with discussions and useful exchanges. Towards the end of term a competition was held for the best display of a sheet of mounted stamps. The competition was very keen and a good number of sheets of well-mounted stamps was displayed. The first prize was won by John Varley ; 2, J. Treherne Thomas ; 3, D. Hopkins ; 4, W. Samuels. It is hoped to hold an exhibition of stamps next term. 44
