THE CHAPEL

removing the cup from the Rise mantelshelf are high. In the Junior rugger, after having defeated the Manor, we once more came up against the Rise and, after having drawn with them in the first game, we were beaten in the replay. Both games were ding-dong struggles and easily the most exciting House matches seen for a long time.

Towards the end of term a pound of chocolates was raffled in aid of the Red Cross, and as a result of this effort the funds of this deserving charity benefited by more than M. The winner was Squadron Leader Denison.

A. L. Wyman is to be congratulated on his appointment as Vice-Captain of School rugger. J. A. Denison and P. R. G. Dench on being awarded their 1st XV Colours, E. Sheriff on being awarded his 2nd XV Colours, and R. T. Hey on his appointment as Captain of School Shooting.

These notes must not be closed without mention of our hard-working Head of the House, J. A. Denison. He has set a fine example to the rest of the House during his year of office by his enthusiasm and wholehearted support of all School and House activities. Wherever he may go in the future the best wishes of the House go with him.

The Very Reverend the Dean of York preached in the Chapel on Sunday, October 4th, and also read the last Lesson and gave the Blessing at the Carol Service on Sunday, December 13th.

At 11 o'clock on November 11th, the Two Minutes' Silence was kept during a Service of Remembrance. The Head of the School placed a wreath of poppies on the Memorial to the Old Peterites who fell in the last war, and during the service the names of seventeen members of the School, who are known to have given their lives in this war, were read as an act of remembrance.

There have been more than enough volunteers for Serving at the Holy Communion to replace those who left at the end of the summer. The Choir is also filling up again and has done very good work during what is always its most difficult term, the beginning of a new school year. Most important of all is the fact that the average number of Communicants each Sunday has shown a very definite increase this term.
