EDITORIAL. We begin the new term fortified by the sure hope that the European War is drawing inevitably to its close. With confidence, we may invert Mr. Churchill's cautious words and proclaim openly the beginning of the end. How soon we shall Teach the end, it would be dangerous to prophesy; but, not unjustifiably, our thoughts are beginning to turn towards a future in which the war-time difficulties of school administration will be at any rate mitigated. Those difficulties at times have been almost overwhelming, and they must continue to be serious. But thus far they have been bravely faced and successfully overcome, and we may look to the future with a self-confidence born of the knowledge that we shall emerge from the war with our strength in no way impaired. Indeed numerically we are stronger than ever in the School's history, and it is obvious that the provision of increased and improved accommodation must be our foremost post-war aspiration. The position is already one of acute difficulty, and it was with satisfaction that we found, on returning from the Summer holidays, that the re-roofing of the "blitzed" School House dormitories had been begun. The additional rooms will do something to alleviate our immediate difficulties ; though nothing less than the large-scale reconstruction envisaged by the Headmaster and the Governing Body can be adequate to our needs. The calendar for the coming term contains two important events in the School Year. Speech Day will take place on Friday, the 3rd November, when we shall welcome Sir Ronald Matthews, the Chairman of the London and North Eastern Railway Company, as our principal guest. It was a happy inspiration to invite to this ceremony one so prominent in the railway and industrial worlds, and, while we may suppose that Sir Ronald will speak to us in different terms, we feel confident that his visit will be no less satisfying and inspiring than was that of the Archbishop of York last year. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the rash and x 3th December, the Dramatic Society will again present a Shakespeare play—this time Jumus CAESAR. We need say no more here than express the hope that the productions will not fall short of the standard set in previous years. We are gratified to find that the midsummer examination results include the award of a State Scholarship in Classics. It is very many years since a Classical Scholarship has come to the School, though the successes in other branches of VIth Form work have been more than satisfactory. In days gone by St. Peter's held a high reputation for classical scholarship, and we trust that Taylor-Thompson's success, on which we congratulate him heartily, will inaugurate a revival. It is desirable in a school of this kind that the humanities should receive adequate emphasis, not only in the advanced work, but also (a necessary pre-requisite, indeed) in the middle forms. It is with great pleasure that we record here the birth, on August z5th, of the Headmaster's second child, a daughter, "Daphne Ann." We feel confident that we shall be speaking for all who have been in the school during the past seven years, and for all other Peterites who have made the acquaintance of Mr. and Mrs. Dronfield, when we offer our heartiest congratulations to them on an event in which they themselves have taken so much pleasure.

" THE RISE." (A Note from the Head Master). At the end of last term Mr. and Mrs. Burgess left "The Rise," and much as we shall miss them as "residents," we rejoice with them in the safe return of their family from Canada. Mr. Burgess took over the Rise Housemastership in April, 194o, and his services in that capacity have been invaluable during what has certainly been the most difficult and trying period in the history of the House. The raid in April, 1942, destroyed most of Mr. Burgess' furniture and all the private part of the house, and since that time the difficulties of accommodation made Mr. Burgess' work as Housemaster more onerous and seriously interfered with his own comfort. I would not like to miss this opportunity of expressing to Mr. Burgess the grateful thanks of the School authorities for the manner in which he has carried us through this difficult period, and our earnest wish that he will continue to find happiness and satisfaction in his work at St. Peter's School.

KILLED ON ACTIVE SERVICE. John Deneys Croasdale. We regret to record that John Deneys Croasdale (School House, day boarder, 1938-40) has been reported killed, in India. He was a Second Lieutenant in the Black Watch and had been wounded in operations in Burma. His death is believed to have been the result of an accident to the aircraft in which he was being conveyed to a base hospital. We offer our sincere sympathy to his mother, Mrs. A. Croasdale, of "Haverthwaite," Crosshill Road, Blackburn, widow of the late Major E. W. Croasdale, T.D., who was formerly housing and estates manager to the York Corporation. Deneys, who was their only child, was nineteen at the time of his death in June, 1 944.

Samuel Morris Green. We have heird with regret that Samuel Morris Green (School House, 1934-36) was killed in the Normandy landings on "D" Day. We extend our sincere sympathy to his relatives.

Richard Thomas John Griffiths. We regret to learn that F/Sgt. R. T. J. Griffiths (Temple, 1934-36; St. Olave's, 1932) has been killed in air operations in Italy. He was an air-gunner and had served in the R A F. since the outbreak of War. He played for the XV at School, and had frequently represented his squadron in war-time games. He leaves a widow and one child. To Mrs. Griffiths and to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Griffiths, of York, we extend our sincere sympathy. 3

MISSING. Duncan McLean (1929-1935, St. Olave's, the Grove, and the Rise) has beerr reported missing in the gallant Arnhem operations in September. He is a Captain in the Parachute Regiment, 1st Airborne Division. At the time of going to press, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. McLean, of 4, St. George's Terrace, York, are awaiting further information. We sympathise deeply with them in their anxiety and hope that reassuring news may yet come.

WOUNDED. Captain W. Arnold Clarke (School House, 1921-27), the Manchester Regiment, who for some time has been Staff Captain of an Infantry Brigade, has been 'wounded in Normandy. This is Captain Clarke's second period of war service in France.. He was with the B.E.F. in 1940 and was evacuated from Dunkirk.

PRISONER OF WAR. P. H. 0. Ruddock (The Rise, 1939-1940, St. Olave's, 1935) is a prisoner of war in Germany. He was reported missing at an early stage in the operations in Normandy, but the inevitable period of anxiety was ended by the reassuring news that he was alive and well, though a prisoner in German hands. His brother, G. F.. Ruddock, is also serving with the invading army of the west.

DECORATIONS. Petty Officer Denys Lionel Bushell (The Grove, 1926-30) has been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. The citation is "for outstanding courage and skill in H.M. ships Talybont and Wensleydale in action with enemy destroyers." Bushell has taken part in many naval actions, including the Narvik operations and the Dunkirk evacuation. He will be remembered at school as an outstanding runner. The Distinguished Service Cross has been awarded to Lieut. R. H. Davison,. R.N.V.R. (School House, 1931-34; St. Olave's, 1928). In his last year at School he played for the XV and the Cricket XI and gained his Hockey Colours. The D.F.C. has been awarded posthumously to Harold Cass Pexton (School House, 1926-28). The death in action of Flight Lieutenant Pexton was recorded in our last issue.

Canon Whincup was at St. Peter's from i888 to 1893 in the headmastership of the Rev. G. T. Handford. In the last war he was chaplain to the x/6 West Yorks. Regiment, and went with his battalion to the Western Front. As Chaplain he enjoyed an immense popularity (to quote "The Yorkshire Post"), and with his comrades of the trenches in the Ypres Salient he maintained an unusally close contact in the years between the wars. •

NOTES AND ITEMS. Already, a few terms ago, we had seen a "paratroop" in full equipment and had learnt from him about his personal experiences, including an account of the training which all volunteers for this hazardous branch of the army must undergo ; this term, on i5th May, we had the privilege of hearing Major M. E. Whitelock, himself a "paratroop," tell us about some of their achievements. After giving us an interesting résumé of the operations in which they had taken part, Major Whitelock dwelt on his own experiences, particularly in the North African campaign, where he had his share, and perhaps more, of the perils of a "paratroop"; one of his most entertaining stories was a description of how he and his men smashed up a German column of tanks ! Major Whitelock concluded a very fine talk by reverting to the serious and giving us instances of the courage and coolness of the "paratroops." Wing-Commander Fletcher paid a second visit to the School on 18th May, and gave a talk to the senior forms on the all-important subject of call-up, with special reference to the R.A.F., though he also gave very satisfactory answers to questions about the Army and Navy. His talk was of very great practical value to a large number of those who heard him, and afterwards he spoke to certain boys who required his advice about their future. The House collections for the Red Cross Penny-a-Week Fund during the Summer Term amounted to £33 3s. The School has now raised £198 for this Fund. During the York "Salute the Soldier" Week in June, the School. Savings Group beat all previous records and raised L3,z55. At the end of the Summer Term the School's total savings had reached £1I,I62.

HOUSE NOTES. MANOR HOUSE. The past term has provided a fitting climax to a most successful year, culminating in a draw with School House for the Oxford Cup. We had a long way to go, in that at the beginning of the term we had fifty points to gain to come level with School House, and the final issue was left in doubt till the Relay of the Swimming Sports. We succeeded in winning the Team Shooting Cup mainly because we are fortunate in possessing a large proportion of the School Shooting Team. For his part in the Team Shooting P. A. Speight was awarded his House Colours, scoring 98 out of a possible too. J. Lennard is to be congratulated on scoring a maximum, thus winning the cup for the Best Individual Shot. We must also congratulate J. Dook on winning the Best Recruit Shooting. Cup.

W e succeeded in winning the House Average Cup by a fairly clear margin. In the Junior House Cricket semi-final we beat Temple fairly easily, but our hopes of victory in the finals against School House were dashed with the collapse of our batting. In the Senior House Cricket semi-finals we beat School House fairly easily, but nevertheless there were some exciting moments. In the finals against the Rise, we again achieved the desired result, A. G. Reynolds and P. A. Shardlow both batting well. The Tennis House match final proved most exciting. In the semi-finals we beat Temple. The issue of the final was left to a duel between our and and the Rise 3rd strings. After one and a half hours exciting play, we emerged successfully, and as a result J. Dook was awarded his House Colours. 9

We came second in the Section Competition again, and would like to congratulate Ringrose on winning for School House. The climax of the term came with the Swimming Sports, which we managed to win from Temple by three points. As mentioned above the issue of the Sports and the fate of the Oxford Cup rested upon the result of the relay. By securing second place we managed to win. We would like to congratulate Temple on such a close fight. C. Frank did remarkably well in the Swimming Sports, and was awarded his House Colours. The events of the past term would require far more space to recount fully here, so we must end by apologising for any obvious omissions.

THE RISE. The Rise this term has been rather unlucky in the field of sport, and in at least two events we have been beaten by a short head. In the Cricket we beat Temple in the semi-finals by seven wickets, but were defeated in the final by some 4o runs by the Manor. J. C. Wood had a good innings and scored 32, and Rodger scored a rather surprising 25. In connection with Cricket, J. C. Wood is to be congratulated on the award of his Colours and Cap, and J. C. M. Rayson and M. A. J. Rignall on the award of their School Colours. In the Tennis the Rise defeated School House fairly easily, but were narrowly defeated by Manor in the finals. The third string Wood and Baker put up a remarkably good show, and all the other members of the team played well. In the section competition the Rise came third, despite the wet feet caused by an attack up the Cat Dyke. In the Shooting we obtained a good second place in the House averages, but the team shooting was disappointing. On the river, the two members of the Rise who made up half of the 1st IV are to be congratulated on their efforts for the School In the swimming the Rise obtained third place. It was unfortunate that the Captain of Rise swimming was unable to take part owing to a leg injury. We are very sorry indeed to say good-bye to Mr. and Mrs. Burgess whose time at the Rise has been inevitably ended by the developments in the war situation. We are grateful to them for all they have done during the past four years. (In passing, Baker, who seems to have more than his fair share of luck, has especial reason to thank Mrs. Burgess for the excellent confections which she produced each term for the Red Cross Raffle.) At the end of the term the House presented a pair of Wedgwood china ornaments to Mr. and Mrs. Burgess as a memento. We wish them well in their less exacting life in rural Shipton. Their place in the coming School year will be taken by Mr. and Mrs. Wiseman. To them we offer a very hearty welcome, and hope that they will be happy among us and enjoy their work in the Rise. Finally we are very sorry to say good-bye to J. R. Penty, whose sterling leadership of the House has not gone unappreciated, and to Robson, Coward, Wood, Washington, and Marx, all of whom have contributed much to the Rise in their various capacities ; and we wish them the best of luck in their new spheres

SCHOOL HOUSE. Once again the Summer Term has passed and we look back upon a year which has indeed been highly successful for the House. Excitement was at fever heat right up to the relay race in the Swimming Sports. Upon this event rested the result of the Oxford Cup competition. As it happened, the Manor obtained the Kazerooni Cup and thus got the points which were necessary for them to share the Oxford Cup with the House. We congratulate the Manor upon their success. The first Inter-House event was the Senior Cricket. This match was outstanding for its excitement. The Manor dismissed us for the dismal total of zo runs. When, however, we had succeeded in taking the wickets of three Manor batsmen for only 10

one run, our hopes were raised. No further success was forthcoming, however, and the Manor beat us by seven wickets. In the Junior Cricket the House avenged themselves by beating the Rise in the semi-finals by 8 wickets and then, in the final, by beating the Manor by 8 wickets. The tennis was a disappointment for us, and we feel we did not put up as good a performance as was possible. The House did not succeed in retaining the Cup for the House Shooting Average, and, although shooting well, the House team could not challenge the fine aggregate of the Manor. We again won the Section Cup, thanks to the untiring efforts of the House section, and thus assured that we could not lose the Oxford Cup. In swimming we never held any hopes of winning the Kazerooni Cup, but, although last, we did not disgrace ourselves. We have been well represented in the various School teams and congratulate T. C. Middleton upon his ist IV Colours, L. D. Edinger upon his tst Coxing Colours and J. P. G. Walls and P. J. Wright upon their ist XI Colours. We also congratulate P. F. Ringrose, W. J. Clark, R. M. T. Goodwin and C. K. Hudson upon their znd XI Colours. Another excellent sum was collected for the Red Cross. This term the total was £9 16s. *id. These notes would be far from complete without recording our most hearty thanks to Dr. B. G. Whitmore, who has been our Assistant Housemaster for the past four years. He has always taken a keen interest in the affairs of the House and been ready to help. We wish him all happiness in his new post. In conclusion let us wish success to all members of the House who are leaving, and continued prosperity to the House in the coming year which we await with confidence.

TEMPLE HOUSE NOTES. We cannot be said to have had a successful term as far as games are concerned. As each House Match came along, we knew that we were weaker than our opponents, and that we relied upon the efforts of the few to see to it that the House actjuitted itself at least worthily. They did their job well—we remember Hamby's innings against the Rise and we remember the work of Denison and Dodsworth in the Tennis, and we know that it was not the fault of Gregory, Denison, Ward, Dench, and Newdick that we lost the Swimming Cup by a mere three points to Manor. But in spite of their efforts we finish the term with only the Cross-Country Plate on our shelf. It would look bare indeed were it not for the Hobbies Cup, once more ours through the efforts of Terry, and the Work Cup which, we hope, will also be with us for another year. The dearth of outstanding talent is no rare occurrence in the life of any House, but it should be the occasion for every member of the House to ask himself what he is doing to fill the places of those stalwarts who have left us, and of those who are leaving us now. The House will next term be larger than ever, and will have a very large proportion of Juniors. We expect much of everybody, but we would particularly impress upon the younger members of the House that they, too, will soon be Seniors—who knows—members of the House teams. We lose all our monitors except Ward this term, and whilst thanking them for all they have done, we wish those who follow them a successful term of office : if they are successful, so will the House be. We particularly congratulate Wilson on his excellent term as Head of the School. In one particular thing we were more than usually successful. This term we raised a larger sum than ever before for the Red Cross—by methods which, for reasons of security, we keep to ourselves. Finally, we would congratulate those who have been awarded Colours this term— Ward, ist IV; Hamby, ist XI, and Shooting Colours ; Weighill, znd IV; and Eastwood, znd XL Gregory, Denison, Dench, Harker, D., Hardisty, and Newdick are congratulated on the award of their House Colours.

THE OXFORD CUP, 1943-44. The result of a most exciting competition was a tie between the Manor and School House. The issue remained in doubt until the very end, when Manor, by a victory in the Swimming Sports, drew level. The Manor, indeed, are to be congratulated on their performances in the Summer Term. Besides the Swimming, they won the Senior Cricket, Tennis, and both Shooting Competitions.

THE CHAPEL. The Commemoration Service was held on znd July, the Sunday nearest to S. Peter's Day, and we were fortunate to have as preacher the Lord Bishop of Carlisle, President of the Old Peterite Club. The Dean of York visited us again this term and preached on Sunday, x8th June. During the year many boys have given voluntary service to the Chapel as Chapel Monitors, Servers and members of the Choir. We should like to thank them all and specially those leaving—T. C. Middleton, A. G. Reynolds, G. Wilson, D. L. Pryer, A. J. Shardlow and J. M. Norwood. The Chapel Committee has been able during the year to distribute £62 from the Chapel Collections Fund among various charities.

THE HARVEST CAMP. A vacant look met our question "Can you tell us the way to Foulrice?" Suddenly the inspired light of knowledge came into his eyes "Ah, tha'll be meaning Voolreece," and having been directed we set off on our journey. The camp-site when ultimately tracked down, was a disused searchlight station some 3 miles from Stillington, absolutely packed, we had been assured, with modern conveniences or promises of the same. Unfortunately, the promises never materialized, and those conveniences which were already there proved illusory. The hot water, which was to have been on tap by the gallon, through the inability of the North Riding W.A.E.C. to send a plumber, never seemed to get much hotter than cold. Accommodation consisted of 3 large huts, one of which was used as a diningroom, and several small huts which were put to various administrative uses. There were also some 8 or 9 tents, which provided sleeping accommodation. As usual, the weather broke as soon as the camp assembled, and fine days were few and far between. The fourth week of the camp inaugurated a period 12

of torrential rain. For to whole days never a day passed without several hours' rain and according to statistics there were over 3 inches of rain in those dreary days. The harvest, which started with excellent prospects, was almost ruined by the rains, and most farmers were in despair, especially any who were faced with a late harvest. The majority of the farmers were ready to start harvesting at the beginning of the camp, but so bad was the weather that they had only just begun to lead when the camp finished. For the greater part of the period in camp boys were stooking on fine days and leading manure or doing some wet day job when the weather was not fit for harvesting. Despite the weather the camp was enjoyed by all. We learnt to watch the sky and weather-glass lest they might show signs of an approaching storm. When we saw the corn growing in the stooks we understood the farmer's anxiety and his hurried efforts to finish harvest before bad weather set in. Above all we discovered the thrill that is felt when the last load of corn is led from a field just as the rain begins and you know that weather can no longer harm that crop. Finally we must thank those who gave up their valuable time to run the camp. As the Headmaster was unable to be at camp this year his onerous duties fell on others, and both Mr. Nix and Mr. Fawcett did not fall short of our expectations. The whole camp was organized and run by them, and no praise can be too high for their efficient management. We must also thank Mr. Jackson, Mr. Wiseman, Mr. Walshaw, Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Calder for the hard work they put in and Mrs. and Miss Andrews, Mrs. and Miss Frost, Mrs. Calder, Mrs. Wiseman, Mrs. Rhodes, Miss Mason, Miss Qualtrough, Miss Collett and Miss Allen for their excellent cooking throughout.

THE MUSIC SOCIETY. Unfortunately it was found impossible to hold any meetings this term, owing to the pressure of examinations and other school activities, but it is hoped that during the Winter new members will be enrolled and that the usual series of talks and gramophone recitals will be resumed. Those members of the Society who are also in the Choir must be congratulated on their excellent performances in Chapel and on the amount of work that has gone towards maintaining such a high standard of singing.

NATURAL SCIENCE SOCIETY. Chairman: T. J. WALL, Esq., M.A., B.Sc. Secretary: J. R. PENTY. Activities this term have been somewhat curtailed by the pressure of exams. and no lectures by members of the Society have been given. An excellent lecture on "Blood Transfusion and Its Importance in Medicine To-day" was given by an Old Peterite, J. McN. Inglis. This was very much appreciated by everyone, and many thanks are due to Inglis for the trouble he took in presenting the lecture.

THE LIBRARY. A considerable number of books has been added this term, especially in the Science and Mathematics sections, the latter of which is now rather more adequate than before. The Classics section has been completely reorganized and its classi13

fication simplified, while in the course of the annual stocktaking the opportunity was taken of writing the accession number of every hook in the library on the back of its respective index card—an innovation which should make for speedier reference in the future. Still not enough care is being taken to return books to the library when overdue and the general treatment of books could be considerably improved. The following books have recently been added :ARCHITECTURE :—Three Hundred Years of French Architecture—Blomfield ; A First Book of Architecture—Reed; A Second Book of Architecture—Reed; A Third Book of Architecture—Reed; The Architecture of England—Gibberd ; The Story of Architecture—Waterhouse ; A History of Architecture on the Comparative Method—Sir J.

MONSOON STORM. (The following article has been sent to us from South F, rt Asia by Lieut. J. A. Cato (School House 5936-40). It was ;mitten, Cato tells us in a covering letter, to pass the time in hospital, and to give people at home "my own impressions of a monsoon storm in this forsaken part. of the world where we fight the Jap, and everything else under the sun." For a short time I have been away from my unit (somewhere on the Indo-Burmese border) undergoing treatment for malaria in a hospital in a back area. The weather has been unbearably hot and sticky. A storm is inevitable—and here she comes! I went outside and watched for a time. It is evening, and behind me the sun is low on the horizon, the sky around it a delicate shade of blue and pink. The crowd, however, is more interested in the opposite direction. In an ever-widening arc, the leading edges still tinged with the sun's rays, a mass of cloud moves towards us at a high level. The immediate scenery has taken on an unnatural clarity; green trees and white tents stand out starkly against a background of dull, steely blue—the back-cloth of a gigantic stage, across which lightning flickers, flashes, and darts, throwing into relief the jet-black clouds seemingly suspended in the blue vacuum between the storm-cloud and the gaunt hills on the horizon. 14

Slowly, now pressing remorselessly down, the mass of cloud is moving over our heads; the steely-blue background has dissolved into mist, and the distant horizon is obscured. A frenzied wind whirls from all quarters, and God's artillery rumbles menacingly, still far away. Now the heavy storm-clouds fill the heavens ; press down : the wind grows fiercer, wilder : the thunder approaches, becomes more threatening, more ominous : lightning jags across the rain-laden sky in a crazy pattern—and at last the rain; swirling, beating, solid clouds of rain. The air becomes cooler. Visability drops-300 yards, 25o, zoo, until the tents across the too yard stretch of field are ghostly in the haze. Puddles, ponds, appear as if by magic. The wind plucks with invisible fingers at the tents. Thunder from all sides rattles, roars, rolls away, frightening in its sudden detonations and in the heaviness of its sound. Lightning streaks more fantastically across the heavens. Then, suddenly, the first violence is spent, the wind has dropped, the rain falls vertically; its beat on the taut-stretched canvas of the tent is insistent, a remorseless monotone, depressing in its promise of persistence. My companion in the tent begins to bale out, to move beds . . .

I —I thank my lucky stars that for the time being I am in a tent, and not with my less-fortunate colleagues in the Battalion, possibly even at this moment fighting the Japs, the climate, and the country—and beating them all !

J.T.C. Despite the many and varied activities of the Summer term it has been found possible to carry out a full programme of training in the J.T.C. The termly field day was held on Thursday, 25th May, when the whole company took part in an exercise on the Ings towards Overton. The company attacked enemy positions defending Overton railway bridge. The defence was a skeleton one consisting of one section, while the attack was under the command of Capt. Rhodes. Despite bad weather and the refusal of some members of the Corps to attack positions after the skeleton defence had evacuated it, the day was enjoyed by all and was exceedingly instructive. After lunch the company reformed and took part in an attack on Overton, after which the Corps marched back via Skelton and the North road. Colonel Scott-Cockbum, the deputy District Commander paid the contingent an informal visit on Thursday, 1st June, and was favourably impressed by the contingent, both on parade and carrying out its normal training. The contingent has had two ceremonial parades during the term, the first being on Sunday, zist May, "Empire Youth Sunday," when the Corps marched to the Minster for the Youth Service. The Salute was taken by The Sheriff of York (Councillor R. W. Willsdon). The second occasion was "Youth Day" in "Salute the Soldier" week when the salute was taken by Lt.-Col. W. H. Grimes, T.O., O.B.E. In this connection we offer our congratulations to our Commanding Officer, Captain K. H. Rhodes, who was chairman at the opening ceremony on "Youth Day. ' Once again it was found possible to hold a Certificate "A" examination this term, the Individual examination taking place on Thursday, 22nd June, when the following cadets were successful :—Cdts. Brindley, Clayboum, Crowther, Hobson, Jones, Lennard, Peel, Rayon, Smith, and Wilson, P. J. The section-leading examination was held on 3oth June when the following passed :—Cdts. Banister, Bentley, Bodington, Boyes, Clark, Coward, Dodsworth, G., Garbett, Gillgrass, Gregory, Harker, D., Haysey, Hnik, Legat, Norwood, Reaveley, Reynolds, G., Shepherd, Simpson, Spink, Taylor-Thompson, Washington, Welford, Wright, In both of the above examinations the percentage of passes was very high, due in no small measure to the efficient instruction of the N.C.O.'s from the r5th P.T.C., to whom we record our grateful thanks. 15

In view of the curtailment of term it was decided that in the Section Competition each House should produce its best section consisting of a sergeant, 3 cpls., 3 trained men and 3 recruits. The competition again consisted of Drill, Rifle, Sten and Bren, Fieldcraft, Map-reading and the Obstacle course, and School House are to be congratulated on winning the Fernie Cup. The following promotions have been made :To be C.S.M.—Sgt. Pryer. To be Sgt.—Cp1s. Penty and Jefferson. To be Cpl.—L/Cp1s. Reynolds, Robson, Drummond, Barber, Walker, Border. To be L/Cpl.—Cdts. Baker, Eccles, Knowlson, Mckinney, Morris, Mountain, Sears, Shardlow, Smith, Stratton, Toyer, Walls, Ward, Weighill.

SCOUTING. Spare time activities have been well to the fore during the past term. At the same time the regular meetings have been held, with their opportunities of pioneering, wide games, etc. The Hounds won the term's Inter-Patrol Competition with the Beavers a close second. On the year's results the Hounds become the holders of the Shield for the ensuing twelve months. The Junior Inter-Patrol Competition resulted in a win for the Peewits, with Hawks znd, Owls 3rd, Wood Pigeons 4th, Curlews 5th. The Troop took an active part in "Bob-a-Nob" Day on zoth May, to earn money to equip Scouts to assist in relief work in the liberated countries. Over £5 was raised —more than double the target aimed at. On 21st May the Troop took part in the Annual Empire Youth Sunday Parade and Service at the Minster. Four week-end camps were held during the term and over forty members of the Troop were enabled to spend an all too short time under canvas. It was a great disappointment that the week's summer camp could not be held. The Troop also helped to satisfy an urgent demand from the railway companies for locomotive oil controllers. Nearly fifteen hundred of these were made and a fund inaugurated from the proceeds for the purchase of Troop Colours. Three members of the Troop, P.Ls. Wright, Hopkins, and Sec. Camfield attended the Local Association's P.L's Training Course. All of them completed the course successfully and have been enrolled as members of the 2nd Fir Ridge Troop. Sec. Camfield and Sct. Smith are to be congratulated on gaining their Green and Yellow All-Round Cords. 1 st Class Badges have been gained by Secs. Camfield and J. M. Graham, and by Sets. Smith and D. W. Thompson. Proficiency badges have been gained as under : Air Spotter—Set. Richardson; Reader—Sets. Fenton and Holmes; Pathfinder—Sec. Camfield, Sct. D. W. Thompson; Ambulance Man—P. L. Stuart, Sec. Camfield, Sets. Smith and Booth; Swimmer— T. L. Tate, P. L. Bainton, Secs. Camfield and Cameron, Sets. E. G. Thompson and Trewick ; Athlete—Secs. J. Burdass, Brough, and Eccles, Sets. Walter, Gibson, Flint, Fenton and E. G. Thompson.

CUB REPORT. We began the term with only three sixes, the Blue, the Green and the Yellow. Later, owing to a great number of recruits, the Red Six was re-formed and did very well in coming second in the Inter-Six Competition. Due to the enthusiastic leadership of Kidson whom the Yellow Six were unfortunate to lose, the Red Six soon became an excellent team. Time was very precious and we crammed a great deal of work and competitions into the short period at our disposal. Thanks are due to both Sixes and Seconds for their help in assisting the new recruits in their 1st star work. 16

Unfortunately we must say good-bye to quite a number of older cubs who arc going on to join the scouts and we wish them every success. In passing, we must mention two cubs in particular. Knowles, the Yellow Sixer and Pack Leader, and Browne, F. D. the Blue's Sixer, victors in the Inter-Six Competition. Both have been invaluable in their work. So we look back on a term well spent and hope that our activities will embrace a wider sphere as peace draws near. RESULT OF THE INTER-SIX COMPETITION. fat znd 3rd

SHOOTING. Only two matches were arranged this term. The first was a private match against Durham under County of Lancaster conditions in which we lost by 667 points to 69z. In the second match—a private Country Life match against Dcnstone College—we lost rather heavily by 524 points to 615. A. G. Reynolds, F. B. S. Hamby, P. A. Speight, and J. Leonard were awarded their Shooting Colours. Others who shot for the team were F. J. Chadwick, J. McD. Dook, H. Brown, and A. P. Border. The Annual Shooting Competitions again caused much excitement. The Manor won the Inter-House average with an average of 54.1. The Rise were second with 5x.1, School House third with 48.1 and Temple fourth with 47.9. The Manor also won the team Shooting with the excellent aggregate of 363 points out of 400. School House obtained 31i, Temple 290 and the Rise 212 points. J. Leonard won the Individual Shot with the possible score of 80. The Recruits' Competition was won by J. Dook with 78. Our thanks are due to Sergeant-Major Puddick for organizing the competition and for all the time he spent down at the range.

CRICKET, 1944. RETROSPECT. Despite the apparent failure of the team the season was far from unsuccessful : indeed, in every match the team could, without doubt, have beaten its opponents if only it had had that little bit of reserve to call on at the critical moment. That the team would have all the coaching and encouragement necessary was obvious from the very first net of the season. The coaching of "Benny" was all that could be desired, and his encouragement when all seemed lost did much to spur the team on to greater efforts. There is every reason to hope that next year and the year after, with 8 of this year's colours still at school, we shall have one of the best teams in the North. The actual play of the team was always let down by the fielding. Often the School, with a score of well over a hundred, were unable to win because they had thrown away some zo or 3o runs by bad fielding. Once, against Ampleforth, the team's fielding was excellent for the first 15 or 20 overs, but after that it deteriorated and the match, which at the time was in the balance and could have gone either way, was lost because of this weakness in the field. The batting of the team was good throughout the term. Hobson set an excellent example with his good all-round play and carefully placed shots, although at times it seemed that he was too careful and refused to hit bowling that should have been 17

severely punished. The whole of the team seemed at times to suffer from this lethargy and also showed an amazing unwillingness to run hard between the wickets. The bowling of the team was consistently good, the 5 change bowlers being capable of keeping a good length for a long period. 1st XI CHARACTERS. HOBSON, R. 194z-45-44* A captain who would have had a good season if the side's fielding had been good. An excellent bat with a good shot through the covers. At the moment he lacks punishing power which will no doubt be acquired in time. WOOD, J. C. 1943-44* A good bowler who could bowl all day and keep a good length. A powerful hitter, although slow between the wickets. A good field and safe catch. SHARDLOW, P. 1944. A polished left-hand bat who ran into a bad spell towards the end of the season. An excellent fielder. RAYSON, J. C. M. 1944. A fine all-round cricketer. As a bat he has a safe defence, and his bowling is good, although his fast ball is inclined to be short. WALLS, J. P. G. 1944• Started well, but after a good innings at Worksop he was disappointing. His off-side play could do with improvement, and, although his catching was good, his fielding generally left much to be desired. WRIGHT, T. J. 1944. Has the makings of an exceptionally fine keeper, especially to slow bowling, although at the moment he does not get down to a low ball. A defensive bat who would do better if he hit. DOOK, J. 1944. A good leg-break bowler who can spin the off-balls. A powerful hitter and a good field. ANDREWS, W. 1944. A good slow off-break bowler who keeps a good length. His batting will, it is hoped, improve. HARNBY, F. B. S. 1944. Through bad form was unable to find a place at the beof the season, but if he had then shown his true form would have been one of the main bats. A good field with a superb throw-in. been SPEIGHT, P. A. 1944. A very correct player with a fine defence who merely needs match practice. RIGNALL, M. A. 3944. Should develop into one of the best bats of the side. He can play correctly, but his favourite game is forcing the pace. * Denotes a cap. The whole team are colours.

Played Away, Saturday, 27th May. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Leeds Grammar School, 121. Result : St. Peter's, 105. For their first School match of the season the School were snatched against Leeds Grammar School. The Leeds captain won the toss and elected to bat on a bard wicket. The opening Leeds batsmen played Wood and Eastwood confidently until, with the score at 22, Aber, C. was clean bowled by Eastwood. Wickets continued to fall steadily, the main contributors to the Leeds score being Hay (26) and Morley (22), and the Leeds innings closed with the score at 121. The School innings opened disastrously, Walls being bowled in the first over with no runs on the board. Hobson, however, partially restored the situation, batting well for 28. After Hobson's dismissal all the batsmen with the exception of Rayson were content to poke at bowling which should have been hit hard. and the result was a rapid succession of cheap wickets. The School innings closed with the score at 105. Thus we lost by 16 runs to a team which, although inferior to the School, was always on its toes and spared no effort.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. WORKSOP COLLEGE. Played Away, Saturday, 3rd June. Result : St. Peter's, 166 for 9 (declared). Worksop, 90 for 9. Playing against Worksop the team seemed to take a new lease of life. Gone was the lethargy and nonchalance of the week before and the whole team was keyed up, giving away hardly a run. Despite early setbacks, both Clark and Ringrose being in the pavilion with only 5 runs on the board, the School bats played well and the situation was admirably retrieved. Hobson again played well scoring 65 before he was 1.b.w. to Hall, and be was well backed up by Wood (29) and Shardlow (27). The innings was declared closed at 166 for 9, leaving Worksop 2 hours to get the runs. The Worksop innings opened disastrously, 3 wickets being down for 2 runs, due to the deadly bowling of Eastwood and Wood. Townend and Brumfitt took the score to 41 before they were separated and Gibson, who joined Brumfitt, batted well for 23. When the sixth wicket fell, however, the rest of the team collapsed, 4 wickets falling in 2 overt. After Webster had been dropped in the last over but one, the School bowlers were unable to separate the last Worksop pair, and they were still at the wicket when stumps were drawn. ST. PETER'S.

Played Away, Wednesday, 14th June. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. DURHAM SCHOOL. Durham, 57 for 9. Result : St. Peter's, 55. Once again the team failed to come up to expectations. The Durham captain won the toss and put the School in on an almost perfect batsman's wicket. The School batsmen once again refused to attack easy bowling, with the same result as at Leeds. Wickets fell fast, the only 2 players to reach double figures being Shardlow and Wood, both of whom showed what should be done to poor bowling instead of poking at it as did the others: The School innings closed at 55. The Durham batsmen fared little better against the deadly bowling of Wood and Andrews, and again only 2 batsmen reached double figures. Forsythe scored 18, mainly by poking balls half-way up the pitch and running quick singles while Maclaren, the last man, scored 17 by turning every ball to leg, with Anderson adding 25 for the last wicket. Once again the last man was dropped towards the end of the match, and the School were not given another chance. DURHAM. ST. PETER'S. 18 Forsythe, c. Wright, b. Wood 8 Rayson, b.

Played Away, Saturday, 17th June. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. BOOTHAM SCHOOL. Result : St. Peter's, 56 for 3. Bootham, 55. The Bootham captain won the toss and decided to bat on an excellent batting wicket. Against the bowling of Wood and Jones, a newcomer to the side, the Bootham batting collapsed, only two batsmen reaching double figures, and the innings closed at 55. Throughout the Bootham innings the School fielding was far from good, and Bootham were very lucky to reach 55. The School innings opened badly, the first wicket falling at 6 runs, but Shardlow, who joined Rayson, played well until he was unfortunately hit on the nose by a rising ball and forced to retire. Hobson, however, took his place, and the Bootham total was passed with only 3 wickets down. ST. PETER'S. BOOTHAM. 9 Rayson, b. Meadowcroft ... 15 Anderson, c. Jones, b. Wood... 3 ...

Result : St. Peter's, 144. Ampleforth, 243. Hobson won the toss and decided to bat. The opening pair, Rayson and Goodwin, opened confidently enough, but Rayson was run out with the score at 1, when Goodwin played the ball to midoff and called for an impossible run. Shardlow joined Goodwin and batted well until he was bowled with the score at 48, having scored 22 of them himself. Wickets fell fairly rapidly until Dook went in, when he began to play the Ampleforth bowling confidently, staying at the wicket long enough to score 40. The innings closed shortly afterwards with the score at 144. The Ampleforth opening bats played the School batting confidently until two wickets fell in rapid succession. Hardy and Trafford, however, after each had been dropped twice in the first few overs went on to score 85 and 47 respectively. Hardy's play was excellent and there were 15 four's in his innings. They were separated at 125 and the Ampleforth team passed the School total without losing another wicket. The School ground fielding was better than the week before: indeed for the first 20 overs it was excellent. After the bowling had been hit to the boundary several times they became discouraged and returned to their former state whereas if they had kept on their toes they might have pulled the game round.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. BRADFORD GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Played at Home, Saturday, 24th June.. Result : St. Peter's, 92. Bradford G.S., 128. Once again the School failed dismally against Bradford. Despite an excellent start from Goodwin and Shardlow the School batsmen were unable to do anything with bowling which was only mediocre, and no other player reached double figures. The team were too content to play carefully balls that should have been hit and to nibble at good length balls, a practice which resulted in many catches. In the Bradford innings the outstanding player was Owen who scored 59, though he was dropped twice before he really got his eye in. The Bradford team passed the School total for the loss of 6 wickets. Once again the reason for the defeat was to be found in the fielding.

of Boats)

FIRST FOUR CHARACTERS. P. J. T. COWARD (bow).—A very hard working oarsman, who used his weight well. He had a tendency to rush his slide, but his blade work was good, especially when rowing. z.

T. C. MIDDLETON.—Although inclined to be stiff and rather heavy handed when paddling, in races he lengthened out and contributed his full share to the success of the crew. His weight was most useful.

3. J. D. WARD.—Although rather on the light side, he was a tremendous worker and backed up Stroke very well. His blade work was good. Occasionally he had some difficulty in managing his slide—or slides. His experience was most valuable to the boat. T. F. MORRIS (Stroke).—A really excellent stroke to whom the success of the crew must in no small degree be attributed. A very hard worker himself, he gave real life to the crew and showed very good judgment in timing his spurts. A very keen and efficient captain. Cox. L. D. EDINGER.—An efficient and cheerful cox. He steered good courses and managed his crew well. RACES. 1st IV v. Leeds University znd IV. Rowed at York on loth June.

Result—Won by length. The School won the toss and chose the railway side of the river. Leeds got away to a good start, but the School gradually caught up until, by the diving board, both crews were level. Round the bend Leeds began to go ahead again, but the School overtook them under Scarborough Bridge and pulled away to win by three-quarters of a length. Course 6 furlongs. :

1st IV. v. Oundle. Rowed at Leeds on 21st June. Result—Lost by 1 length. The School again won the toss, taking the boathouse side of the river. Right at the beginning of the race the School hit the bank with their bowside blades, letting Oundle get a good lead, so that despite a crab which Oundle caught, the School were unable to make up for this beginning. Unfortunately, nobody in the crew knew exactly where the course ended, so that an accurate judgment for the take-in was impossible, and the School consequently lost by one length. Course 8 furlongs. :

ist IV v. Durham School. Rowed at Leeds on zest June. Result—Won by z lengths.. After a false start, in which one of the Durham slides broke, Durham, on theboathouse side of the river, gained a slight lead. However, the School soon overtook Course : 8 furlongs. them to win comparatively easily by two lengths. 1st IV v. Durham School. Rowed at Durham on 1st July. Result—Won by 53 feet.. The School won the toss and took the "Easy Arch" side of the river. At the start the School were over half a length down since the light ship in which they were rowing upset the balance of the School crew quite considerably. By the arch the School had once again got into their stride and overtook Durham soon afterwards_ At the take-in, Durham caught up quite a lot, as they were on the inside of the bend,. but the School kept their lead to win by 13 feet. Course : TO furlongs. znd IV v. Leeds University 3rd IV. Rowed at York on loth June. Result—Won by 31 lengths.. The School, on the railway side of the river, got away to a good start and won easily, Leeds never looking as though they would overtake them. Course : 5 furlongs. znd IV v. Durham School. Rowed at Durham on ist July. Result—Lost by length. During this race the School had to row in strakes which were not centre-seated.Besides this the School lost at the start by catching their stroke-side blades on the bank and despite an excellent take-in, the School was unable to catch up and lost by threequarters of a length. Course : 5 furlongs-

PRESENTATION TO MR. K. H. RHODES. This term, Mr. Rhodes completed his zest year of coaching the School boats, and the occasion was marked by a novel presentation in the form of the bow of one of the old boats, mounted on a Shield made from the Cox's seat and suitably inscribed. There was an additional interest in the fact that this unique and appropriate memento was designed and executed by the School Chaplain, the Rev. P. P. Noble Fawcett. The presentation was made by the Captain of Boats, T. F. Morris, at the Annual Boat Club Dinner which Mrs. Ping continues to provide at St. Olave's. The appreciation of Mr. Rhodes' long and devoted service to the School rowing is by no means confined to the Boat Club, and we should all like to add our congratulations to him on the occasion.

SWIMMING. The weather has again proved very unfavourable for swimming and there have been few days which were ideal for the baths ; nevertheless they were in 'daily use by a few keen swimmers. Only one School match was arranged, this being against Bootham. The result of this fixture was very disappointing since we won only one event in both the Senior and Junior classes. The Swimming Sports were held on the last day of term and the details are as follows :SENIOR. 500 YARDS FREE STYLE.-I, Gregory (T) ; 2, Pryer (M) ; 3, Wright, (S).

TENNIS. The playing of Tennis this term has been considerably hampered by the weather, which was in large measure responsible for the cancelling of the Tennis Tournament; but, despite this, we saw some very high-class play in the Inter-House matches. The semi-finals, it is true, were rather one-sided, and the Manor and the Rise had little difficulty in beating Temple and School House respectively, though even here there were several hard-fought games, and Walls and Goodwin, the School House first string, in all their games lost by only a narrow margin ; the results of the semi-finals were :Manor beat Temple, 6-2. Rise beat School House, 6-1. We knew that the finals between the Manor and the Rise would be extremely close, and our hopes of some exciting games were most certainly fulfilled. It was only by five games to four that the Manor eventually won, chiefly through the steady play of Reynolds and Shardlow, who indeed never lost a game in both matches nevertheless the result was very close, and depended on the last game of Dook and Pryer, the Manor second string, who played the game of their lives, and just managed to beat the Rise pair, Baker and Wood, in the last crucial set.

;

The detailed results of the finals were as follows MANOR IST STRING.-Reynolds and Shardlowbeat Robson and Rodger, 1-6, To-8, 6-3. beat Sykes and Wilson, 6-o, 6-3 ; beat Wood and Baker, 6-4, 8-6. :-

Manor 2ND STRING.— Dook and Pryer— lost to Robson and Rodger, 1-6, 6-4, 9-x ; beat Sykes and Wilson, 6-4, 6-3 ; beat Wood and Baker, i-6, 6-4, 8-6. MANOR 3RD STRING.—Graham and Jones— lost to Robson and Rodger; lost to Sykes and Wilson, 3-6, 5-7.; lost to Wood and Baker, 6-2, i-6,

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL.. St. Olave's started the Summer Term with a very "full house", though we only admitted five new boys. We have given up saying anything about "record" numbers, and we simply state that the roll of boys in the Junior School this term is I;8. We will add that we managed to seat them all quite comfortably, except at "Assembly." We welcomed Mr. G. E. K. Reynolds, O.P. on the staff, and we very much appreciated his hard work for us in Form, in Games and in training the Cubs. By the end of term we learnt with regret that he must leave us for Cambridge, and so we can but wish him every success, and hope we shall see him again. The prize winners of the Easter holiday Nature Study work were : Form Ji., x, J. Ford; z, J. Leighton and B. Cashmere; Form Jii., x, D. Rymer; z, D. Kellett. Form Jiii., i J. Nicholson; z M. Kidson. It had been decided that St. Olave's should go ahead with cricket practice and games, leaving the Sports Day to be held later in the term. Perhaps it was just as well because at least four successive games days were completely rained off, so there was no cricket, and we could not have practised for Sports. In fact, for various reasons our 1st XI has had a most disappointing season, as most of the schools who were able to play us, were not strong enough to play our 1st. This was very bad luck for Mortimer, who we feel sure would have proved a very able Captain. The Swimming Baths were opened this year at a later date than most of us can remember. This was due to the cold and dull weather, but, once opened, the baths were as popular as ever, and the following boys passed the full Junior School swimming test and obtained their Certificate :—M. Bealing, J. Burdass, I. Cobham, R. Cole, J. L. Fenton, C. D. Goode, M. Goodburn, D. Hopkins, D. Holmes, M. E. Kershaw, P. Knowlson, J. B. Mortimer, D. Walter. Quite a number of other boys passed the ordinary one length test, but were not able to pass a length swimming on the back. We would like to thank Miss M. Mason and Miss M Bainton for the valuable help they gave to learners. Our Junior School Sports Day was held on Friday, 14th July. It was very nice to see such a large company of parents and friends, and w,e were most fortunate in having a really nice fine day. All the arrangements and preliminary work by Mr. Walshaw and the Staff were well rewarded by the great success of the occasion. Mrs. D. Cameron—mother of the Head Boy of the Junior School—very kindly presented the prizes, which were again stamps for Savings Certificates. On points gained the Spartans were the winning House. The detailed results are given below. We have now obtained three House Shields for Athletics, Cricket, and Rugger respectively. They have been very beautifully illuminated and lettered by Mr. R. L. Hart, and will be fixed on the wall in the entrance hall of the Junior School in the New Building. We are very much indebted to Mr. Hart for his kind and expert help. The Swimming Sports were held on z 5 th July, the day being quite fine and sunny. Mrs. Gibson—the mother of a winner, the boy who had been longest in the Junior School—presented the prizes. Turning to our scholastic successes we congratulate E Thompson on winning the Pochin Scholarship to St. Peter's, and also D. Hopkins and B. Mortimer who gained awards in the scholarship examination. We should also like to congratulate A. Cameron who passed the entrance examination to Marlborough College very creditably. The full list of special and Form prizewinners will be published for Speech Day which will be held next term. 27 ,

ST. OLAVE'S CRICKET. We have had an unfortunate season as regards matches, most of our fixtures 'having been scratched for one cause or another. In the end we were only able to play one ist XI match and two znd XI. Against Terrington Hall our 1st. XI batsmen were unable to cope with the extremely good fast bowling of our opponents. Away at Red House our znd XI fared badly until our youngest player, Walshaw, hit up a plucky sixteen; even so we were well beaten. But when the same side came to York we got our revenge, having found in the meantime a useful bowler in Hull, who took -seven wickets. Slegg (29), Walters (17), and Walshaw (16) were the top scorers in a well-deserved win. The final of the House match this year was a very exciting affair. Trojans batted first and made 47 (Burdass, C., is ). Spartans, with four wickets down for eight runs seemed to be in a bad way, but Myers and Cass got together with good results. Myers went on to make 58, his leg shots being particularly good. Cass (i5) and Kendall (17) also did well. In conclusion, we should like to thank Mr. Wilson for all the coaching he has _given us this term. His enthusiasm has been an inspiration to us all, and we should like him to realise how much we appreciate his help. We must not forget, either, those members of the staff who did so much for us in the lower games.
