Finally, we must thank Mr. Shuttleworth for his great support during his period of Assistant Housemastership and wish him well in a new kind of housemastership.
QUEEN'S We returned to find P. J. Burton had become a temporary Schoolmaster (not at St. Peter's) and that W. Mitchell had exerted himself to climb upstairs, where he quickly proved equal to the rest (how you take this depends on your status). Firstly, we must offer our congratulations to A. H. Crowther on winning an Exhibition to St. Catharine's College, Cambridge. Below the fifth forms Queen's are still ahead in the Work Cup with Gow, Daniel, and Abel still leading the fourth forms. In School Sport we appeared very little. Coulson was awarded 2nd XI colours for Hockey; Beresford was appointed Captain of Fencing, and N. R. Barton was re-awarded his colours; Bygate was re-awarded his Squash colours and captained a non-existent Athletics team. Gow and Daniel played for the Junior XV, and Hardman and Hunt played Chess. In the House, however, there has been much more activity. There were considerable differences of opinion as to how much training one should or should not do for the Cross-country Race. The team was, however, surprisingly fit and brought off a convincing win. Bygate also won the Goodburn Cup. Boating successes, despite hard training, did not come our way, although the Junior crew particularly put up a good performance, losing a close final to Manor. For their efforts in this and the Crosscountry, Hawkins and Mitchell were awarded House colours. The Squash team succumbed to Rise, Jesper being our only winner, after which he was awarded Junior House colours. Lacy has reached the final of the Intermediate Squash competition, after beating M. W. Foster in the semi-final. Trial Examinations and Standards beginning on the same day is rather a severe shock to anybody, but most seemed to survive, although at times a little moral support was required in the latter case ! We came fourth in the Standards, Bygate and Raley gaining full points, with R. H. Atkinson, Jesper, Mann, and Gow only one short. On Sports Day we climbed to second place, our best yet. Bygate, Mitchell, Giddings, and R. A. Spencer all won events and the Juniors won their Relay, while we had 13 other places. Hardman and R. A. Spencer were awarded Junior House colours. The Chess team beat Manor and Rise only to lose the final to Temple. The Science Exhibition was well served by Queensites, particularly Crowther and Beresford, who organised the Historical and Biological 7
