THE CHOIR Whilst glancing through past issues of "The Peterite" one fact is outstanding : the self-satisfaction of past writers of these notes, proud in the fact that the Choir had heroically prepared for the annual Epiphany Procession with Carols in York Minster in "only five days". We hope to have silenced all such boastings for ever, for this term the Epiphany Service was the day after the beginning of term. The Service was as impressive as usual The following music was sung during the term :"Thou must leave thy lowly dwellings"—Berlioz. "The three kings"—Cornelius. "Gabriel's message"—Old Basque. Anthems: "The Heavens are telling"—Haydn. "Blessed be the God and Father"—S. S. Wesley. "Hide not thou thy face"—Farrant. Services: Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in B flat—Stanford (arr. Lang).

The supper itself was excellent and afterwards Mr. Jeffs and Mr. Burgess, the 26
