The Science Exhibition

A Science Exhibition was held on Friday and Saturday, 21st and 22nd March, 1947. The object was two-fold: to enable parents and friends to see the type of work done in Science in the normal School course, and to bring to the notice of boys and parents alike applications of science which cannot normally be shown in School.

The opening ceremony was performed by Sir Francis W. Terry, J.P., who, on touching a switch, set off a flash and unveiled a delightfully executed display representing the chief branches of science— physics, chemistry, biology, and geography. Sir Francis said he was amazed at the comprehensive nature of the exhibition, and assured the boys that work in the scientific field is without doubt contributing to the production so urgently needed by the country at the present time. The Headmaster added that the exhibition provided definite proof that the School had settled down again to its ordinary routine after the disturbances and improvisations forced upon us by the war.

The exhibition was distributed throughout twenty rooms in the Science block and main building. About eighty boys were engaged on 100 experiments, exhibits, or demonstrations. More than 300 people signed the Visitors' Book, but many came who did not leave us their signatures. Announcements were transmitted throughout the buildings by means of loudspeakers.

It is impossible here to indicate the range covered by the numerous experiments and difficult to pick out even the most outstanding. Among the most popular items were in physics : liquid oxygen, high voltage experiments, colour and fluorescence, and the Wimshurst machine; in biology: the very effective display of tropical and cold water aquaria and the beating heart. The Chemistry Lab., with its interesting range of experiments from the water conjurer to explosives and artificial silk, was always crowded, whilst in the geography section much interest was shown in the voyages of S.S. "Mountpark," a ship "adopted" by the School.

We are greatly indebted to friends of the School and firms in York who helped us, in particular for the exhibits concerned with the manufacture of a newspaper, railway signalling, fluorescence, plastics, paints and varnishes, and for a sound recording unit. Many people took the opportunity of making gramophone records of their voices.

The exhibition received wide publicity. It was mentioned in five northern newspapers, two of which printed photographs. Reference was also made to it in the B.B.C. broadcast feature "News of the North," on the Friday evening. We can rightly claim that the exhibition was very successful.

Lt.-Col. Noel Blenkin was awarded the U.B.E. in the last New Year's Honours List. In the 1914.18 war he won the M.C. and we congratulate him heartily on this further distinction.

B. J. Eastwood (School House, 1933-36), a Staff Captain (War Office), Temporary Major, was awarded the M.B.E. and Mentioned in Despatches during his service in Burma with the 14th Army and the 15th Indian Corps (R.I.A.S.C.). In March, 1945, he was wounded when he was Brigade Major of the 82nd West African Brigade. Early in the war, in December, 1940, he played for England and Wales against a combined Scotland and Ireland XV in a rugger match at Peshawar. This "international" must have been almost unique, since rugby football is rarely played in Northern India.

Major N. L. Dodd, R.A. (School House, 1931.35), whose present address is H.Q., 69 A.A. Brigade (T.A.), Carlton Barracks, Claypit Lane, Leeds, was Mentioned in Despatches for service in Burma with the Royal West African Frontier Force. 7

O.P. MASONIC LODGE

The Old Peterite Lodge, the formation of which has been foreshadowed in previous issues, was consecrated on Wednesday, the 5th March, by the Most Hon. the Marquess of Zetland, K.G., P.C., G.C.S.I., G.C.I.E., in the Maclagan Hall of St. William's College, York. Following the consecration, the first Master, Mr. J. Dronfield, the Headmaster of the School, was installed by Sir William Crosthwaite, and his Officers duly appointed. A large and representative gathering of members of the Craft was present to witness a ceremonial whose impressiveness was enhanced by the dignity of the ancient hall in which it took place. The O.P. Lodge, which will meet on the third Wednesday in the months of March, May, June, July, October, and November, has been launched with every omen of prosperity. Any O.P.'s who may be interested should write to the Secretary, Mr. G. F. Jackson, The Manor, St. Peter's School.

APPOINTMENTS

The Right Rev. Maurice Henry Harland (1912.14), Bishop Suffragan of Croydon, Vicar of Croydon, and Hon. Canon of Canterbury, has been nominated by the King for election by the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln as Bishop of Lincoln in the place of the late Right Rev. Leslie Owen. From St. Peter's he went to Exeter College, Oxford, and was ordained in 1922. He has been Bishop Suffragan and Vicar of Croydon since 1942.

Sir Philip R. Morris I(The Rise, 1913-20), Vice-Chancellor of Bristol University, is one of the members of the Army Education Advisory Board recently appointed by the Secretary of State for War.

N. W. D. YARDLEY

Old Peterites will take a justifiable pride in the announcement, which has been made just as we are going to press, that Norman Yardley , (1928.34) has been chosen to captain England in the first Test Match against South Africa, beginning on 7th June at Trent Bridge. St. Peter's has an enviable record in the production of internationals in sport, but the captaincy of an England Test team is indeed a rare distinction. The choice of Yardley is not, of course, unexpected. His record in the Australian tour of 1946.47 enhanced his already high reputation and marked him out as the leading English amateur. It will be well remembered that he deputised for W. R. Hammond as leader of the England XI in the last Test and earned high praise from the critics in his handling of the side. At Melbourne in the third Test he achieved the signal feat of dismissing Bradman twice and also took the wickets of Barnes and Miller. With his batting in the same match-63 and 51 not out—he contributed largely to saving the game for England and ensuring the draw which broke the melancholy series of reverses.

It may be of interest to quote here the comment of "The Times" on the announcement of the appointment by Group Captain A. J. Holmes, Chairman of the Selection Committee :- "The choice, if generally expected, is none the less welcome.

Ever- since his dayS at St. Peter's, York, and Cambridge, Yardley has been regarded as a cricketer not only of quality but also of character. He has graduated in the hard Yorkshire school, where he has had the opportunity of learning much, and during the recent tour in Australia he captained England in the last Test match with credit. He should make a virile, but not flamboyant, captain, in whom his side unquestionably will have faith. Any

Test match with the sides captained by such men as A. Melville and Yardley should provide a proper game of cricket."

Perhaps the last sentence of this excerpt contains the tribute which will appeal most to us. For any comparable achievement by an Old Peterite in first-class cricket we must go back to Frank Mitchell, in the early years of the century, who had the twin distinctions of captaining South Africa and also playing for England. Norman Yardley, who is 32, should have many more years of cricket, and real greatness would seem to be in store for him. ITEMS

W. R. Child (School House, 1936.40), who joined the lower deck, R.N.V.R., in the war, and after service in a minesweeper and later at Trincomalee, became a Midshipman and ultimately 2nd Lieutenant, has remained in the Navy and is now Lieutenant R.N. acting as Fighter Direction Officer. He is at present on a 21 years' commission with base at Hong Kong. His address is Lt. (A) W. R. Child, H.M.S. Sussex, c/o. G.P.O., London. * * *

The following extract from a letter sent to us towards the end of March by Lt.-Col. J. Noel Blenkin, M.C., O.B.E., from G.H.Q., Middle East Land Forces, will be of interest to many O.P.'s "I came overseas in early 1943 and since then have met

O.P.'s in all parts of the world. In East Africa I met a fellow by the name of Fletcher, and in Cairo I met another O.P. by name, I think, Lancaster, and I lunched, along with Lt.-Col.

Hamilton, with Brigadier and Mrs. Sewell. The Brigadier, you will remember, married Miss Betty Toyne, a daughter of a former

Headmaster, Mr. S. M. Toyne. The Brigadier plays a great deal of hockey, and I have been refereeing. After my plane crash at

Baghdad in December, 1945, in which I broke my back and my left leg, I fear, even if age didn't enforce it, that my playing days are over. On one occasion the Brigadier played in a hockey match in Cairo in which there were no less than four Old

Peterites playing. . ." * * * 9

We hear that W. R. Middlebrook (The Rise, 1929.32) is now a Research Fellow at Leeds University, having gained an International Wool Secretariat Fellowship. He is engaged in research into the structure of proteins. His previous work as a research chemist for the Wool Industries Research Association led directly to two patents, one for the production of unshrinkable wool and the other for the manufacture of wool with a "silky" finish. * *

Norman Yardley goes from distinction to distinction in English cricket. We congratulate him on his appointment to the Selection Committee for the series of tests against the South African touring side.

K. R. G. Harper (1939.44) was selected to play for the English Universities v. Scottish Universities at hockey on 15th March, at Edinburgh, though the match was cancelled. A Broadhurst (Temple, 1937.41), K. Lockwood (Temple, 1930.36), and R. Hobson (The Manor, 1942.44), together with J. C. M. Rayson, the Captain of the present School XI, were all included in the team of sixteen young players of York which met the Yorkshire County XI at York in a two-day match on 30th April and 1st May. Rayson ,(30) and Broadhurst (27) were almost the only notable innings in a game which was decisively won by the County XI under the captaincy of Bowes. * * *

D. J. Pallant (The Manor, 1943.46) has gained a Cadetship under an Army scheme which enables recruits with suitable qualifications to take a course in civil engineering to the standard of Intermediate B.Sc. and leading to the A.M.I.C.E. After a brief period of Army primary training he is now at Loughborough University College at the start of this two-year course. He was 17th in a list of 320 applicants and is to be congratulated on his success. * * *

We are glad to learn that Basil Radford (1911.15) has recovered from the serious illness which kept him from the stage for a prolonged period of many months. He is now back in the cast of "Clutterbuck" at Wyndham's Theatre, has been heard recently "on the air," and is shortly to begin filming. It is good news that he is able to resume work as vigorously as ever, and we hope sincerely that he is permanently recovered.

It appears that J. E. Thompson (The Rise, 1939.42), whom we reported in our last issue as having joined the Bradford Drama School, changed his mind at the last moment and joined the West Riding Theatre (an experimental company sponsored by the Arts Council). After graduating in small parts he met with quick success and played Larry in "They Walk Alone," with Jean Forbes Robertson as Emmy, and later Tobias in James Bridie's "Tobias and the Angel." Unfortunately for his career the Army has now claimed him—though the inevitable has happened, and instead of being posted to a unit, he is organizing entertainments at the Depot at Aldershot. 10

OBITUARY The Rev. E. W. Clarke

The death occurred in April of the Rev. Ernest W. Clarke, who was at St. Peter's from 1885 to 1893. He was priest-in-charge at Dalton, Thirsk. The funeral took place on the 12th April at Kilburn, where he had been Vicar for ten years prior to his transference to Dalton a year ago. He was 72. John Cannon Robson

We deeply regret to record the death of John C. Robson (The Rise, 1940-42). He was killed in a taxi accident in March when riding to the Station after being demobilised from the R.A.F. at Preston. He was 21, and is well remembered by many still in the School. We extend our sincere sympathy to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robson, of 31 Milton Street, Saltburn, and to his younger brother, H. C. Robson, who was also in the Rise.

Ernest John Walton

The death has occurred at Tramore, Ireland, of a Peterite rugger player of distinction, Ernest John Walton. He went from St. Peter's to Oxford and gained a rugby "Blue" in 1900. In the following year he played for England against Wales and Ireland and was again capped against Scotland in 1902. He had been in business in Siam before his retirement to Tramore

Oxford. 30th April, 1947.

We see no real reason why we should mention the weather during the Hilary Term at all, unless it is to signify that its ravages were felt in Oxford as severely as in the rest of this benighted land. Those of us who depended upon electricity for warmth were obliged to spend the Shinwellian periods under the shelter of centrally-heated libraries or in the warmth that blanketed the rooms of the more fortunate among us. On more than one occasion we were to be found gratefully enjoying the heat of Duffield's gas-fire and listening incredulously to his tales of the insatiable appetite for sixpences that the monster had.

Games were played hardly at all. Except for the squash courts, no other field of sport was much used—though at the very beginning of the term Duffield turned out with a B.N.C. hockey team against Caius, Cambridge: through no fault of Duffield's, Caius contrived to win.

Then the snows came and work seemed to be .the topic of the day_ Libraries and lecture halls were crowded to capacity as the eternal search for knowledge went on—or for those who drank not so deep from the Castalian spring (or from anywhere else), the search for some- thing at least respectable and seemingly original to put in their essays.

In this atmosphere your four representatives lived and had their being and occasionally moved too. F. L. Duffield (B.N.C.), our senior scholar, was rarely to be found very far from the above-mentioned gas-fire. His rapid approach to finals was as much a reason for this as the ice age we were experiencing. Sundays and Fridays appeared to be his days of leisure—on Saturdays he was always very hard at work on the "Telegraph- cross-word puzzle; and, if encountered on these days, he would talk with varying degrees of enthusiasm about German symbolist poets, his 330 yard tee-shot from the 18th—the tricky one, you know—and incredible bacchanalian adventures of the misty past.

J. D. Taylor Thompson (Balliol), approaching the last lap of his Honour Mods., was also in studious mood during the term. Thoughtful Saturdays were spent playing squash with Tee or giving Duffield ill-rewarded advice on the solution of his crossword puzzle—where those prizes go to, we can't think: there must be some horrible mistake. From his amazing hoard of B.U.'s he produced some remarkably good cakes, the quality of which attracted us fairly regularly to his rooms. As we go to press, we hear that he has passed Honour Mods. with a first and feel sure that the School will join with us in acclaiming this academic distinction.

P. F. Tee (Christ Church), up for his first term upon release from the Marines, has surprised everybody by abandoning the humanities for Spanish and French—or Romance, as they are commonly known. He has rooms at the top of an Olympian flight of 12

stairs where he awaits intrepid climbers with pots of tea and muffins to fortify them for the long descent. He can often be found about eleven o'clock in Fuller's drinking the inevitable coffee; and the steps of the Taylorian are frequently worn a little more by his busy feet.

J. M. Banister (B.N.C.), also up for his first term after his service in the mines, seemed to spend his time bewailing the large amount of work his tutor expected of him. He appeared to consider that one's first term should consist of a gentle process of acclimatisation with a minimum of work. When more senior members of the University pointed out that the amount of work he was doing was in reality a "minimum" compared with what he would be doing three years hence, an unbelieving look was seen to cross his face. He went through a period of acute anxiety when the Ministry of Labour discovered he had been released by a clerical error and were many weeks regularising the matter; apparently he caused a mino(e)r upheaval in Whitehall.

Upon which cheerful note we will finish this report, wishing the School the best of good fortune in all its enterprises and hoping for a new influx of its members to our select coterie. Yours faithfully, THE OXFORD O.P.'s.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER

Cambridge. March, 1947.

The Editors of "The Peterite." Dear Sirs,

Like the rest of the country, Cambridge suffered, during last term, at the hands of the weather and Mr. Shinwell—even the "reddest" of Socialist undergraduates turned varying shades of blue as they shivered in the bleakness of fireless rooms.

For the first time almost within living memory every "Cuppers" competition was cancelled and only the hardy oarsmen broke the ice to row the Lent Bumps. Consequently it has been a term of indoor activities, with "beer and talk" as opposed to the "sherry and conversation" of Oxford forming the background. In this sphere, Old Peterites have figured in varying degrees.

P. A. Lockwood, still with us, was observed at a certain dinner party, minus collar, lamenting the position of the country. He is very friendly with the Emmanuel Harvard Scholar and has certain American habits—the latest of which, a bad one, is a jeep.

G. E. King Reynolds, another gentleman from Emmanuel, was to be seen every afternoon ploughing through the snow on the running track. He ran hard, but not hard enough in the University Sports. Work and his duties as President of the C.U. Geographical Society brought about his almost complete withdrawal from social life.

13

C. A. F. Cookson (Emmanuel) continues to box on occasions for the Varsity as witnessed by his difficulty in eating and talking at certain times. In private life he holds huge tea parties and has, we are told, a private source of beer and someone who darns his socks.

Spink (Emmanuel) has succeeded in his record attempt to take up residence. A somewhat retiring individual, he keeps his landlady under strict control and disbelieves most things that are open to question.

Borrowing Mr. Lockwood's jeep, we leave the H.Q. of Cambridge O.P.'s and visit the others scattered in outlying colleges. Passing Christ's one conjures up Mountain in the mind's eye—he's rarely seen in the flesh. He is, apparently, always looking for other O.P.'s up and down Regent Street. His attachment to this street is due to the fact that he is "hen-pecked" by his room-mate and can only remain indoors at certain times.

Arrived at St. John's, we can call upon three O.P.'s. The first, Mr. Jung, we should never find. Like the Loch Ness monster, someone "saw" him once last term, but no one really believes it.

A. J. Shardlow is nearly always found in the centre court of John's, deep in conversation and a "just about to row don't-you-know" air about him. No doubt he rowed in the Lent Bumps, but the authors of this letter had found a large fire to sit round on the days the Bumps were held and so were unable to witness Mr. Shardlow bullying the Lady Margaret crews to greater efforts. "Taffy" Evans is harder to find than the above. He seems to work quite hard and finds the Union and its bar conveniently near his college.

Leaving St. John's we called upon the remaining three O.P.'s. All were out. Mr. Blackburn, of Caius, had not been seen by anyone, but on occasions alarming sounds from a squash court seemed to indicate that the said gentleman was taking some exercise. Drummond, of Trinity, was also absent from his room, though it bore signs of recent occupation. A queer person told us to search the picture queues, but, alas, we had some work to do. Finally we discovered that Terry (Trinity Hall) was not at home to anyone, least of all to O.P.'s. He works hard but can be seen at exercise walking briskly round the University Library.

Thus you witness us, dear Sirs, separated now by circumstances, cliques and the fashions of men but united by our interest in the School and all its activities. We, in turn, humbly contribute from the life of the School as we knew it to the life of the University—be it the hard-fisted strategy of Cookson or the discussions on "Dialectical Materialism" and "Logical' Positivism" of Messrs. Lockwood and Reynolds.

Once more, with best wishes to the School, we remain, Sirs, Yours faithfully, THE CAMBRIDGE OLD PETER ITES.

14

14th April.

To the Editors of "The Peterite." Dear Sirs,

Having read for some years the Oxford and Cambridge letters published termly in "The Peterite," I am prompted to write and suggest that there should be a Sandhurst letter published, if not termly, at least yearly.

Our course at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, takes 18 months, and as there is to be a regular influx of cadets every three months or so, it seems that any Old Peterite who is taking up the Army as a career will find himself here sooner or later.

At the moment we have only two Old Peterites, Ian Baker (School House, 1942.45) who came to the Academy via the R.A.C., ' and M. G. Jones (The Manor, 1941.45), who came via the Royal Marines and the Royal Sussex Regt. However, we hear that two more O.P.'s are joining us in the summer, having completed their "stretch" in the ranks, and we can only hope that we are the forerunners of many more.

In closing, I will only mention that I feel sure that we work, both physically and mentally, considerably harder than our contemporaries at the Universities, many of whom are still labouring under the delusion that a square is a four-sided figure (with due apologies to all returned Servicemen).

Wishing the School every success in the future. Yours faithfully, M. G. JONES, O.P. (It seems likely that there will be many O.P.'s at Sandhurst in the near future, and we heartily endorse the proposal in the above letter.—Editors.)
