CUBS.

This term we were very sorry to lose Mrs. Ballard, who has filled so capably the position of Akela while she has been with us. We were glad to welcome Mr. Bulmer as our new Cubmaster.

We have played the usual games this term, and also had some practice in fire-lighting, but most of the term has been devoted to learning the Morse Code. This has been very interesting indeed, and most of us have already managed to learn the alphabet.

As is usually the case in the Christmas Term, we have lost several of our older Cubs to the Scouts. We wish them every success in the Troop, and extend a hearty welcome to our new Cubs, who have taken their places this term.

To the Editor of " The Peterite."

Dear Sir,—Through the medium of " The Peterite " I should like to express publicly, on behalf of the entire Debating Society, the deep debt which we owe to Mr. Burgess, who this term has relinquished the chairmanship of the Society.

During his two years' tenure of office, the Society has increased greatly in numbers, and the standards of the Society have risen considerably. In all this, Mr. Burgess played a most prominent part.

His enthusiastic and efficient conduct of the Society's affairs, the tact with which he presided over the meetings of the Society, and the encouragement which he gave to even the most hopeless of speakers, all these qualities contributed immeasurably to the present flourishing state of the society.

Although he no longer presides over our meetings, we hope that he will soon be prevailed upon to attend some future debate and to deliver another of his witty and devastating speeches.—Yours, etc.,

J. A. DENISON.
