C.C.F. NOTES 1960 is the Centenary year of the cadet movement in schools, and St. Peter's is one of the comparatively few schools to have started a corps in that year. Nation-wide celebration of the Centenary is intended, and every Contingent has been asked to provide a page, hand-written on vellum, giving a brief outline of its history, for inclusion in a book which is to be presented to Her Majstey, as Captain-General of the Combined Cadet Force. A photograph of our page is shown opposite. On a date to be announced, a parade will be held in London, at which it is hoped every Contingent will be represented. The Royal Artillery Detachment has now gained new life, with the gun housed in its newly decorated shed. Civil Defence Training has started, with invaluable local help, and on the last parade day the C.D. Detachment watched a demonstration at the Easingwold Civil Defence School. A shooting eight defeated the local Territorials in a close at the Stonebow range.

R.N. SECTION This term P.O. Ibberson, C. D., was appointed P.O. i/c R.N. Section, with Ldg. Sea. Smart second in command. Ldg. Sea. Franklin became Boat Rating, Ldg. Sea. Hawkins Stores Rating and Ldg. Sea. Bagnall Yeoman of Signals. The term has been spent mainly in training for the Naval Proficiency Exam, in which eight passed out of a total of sixteen. Of those who failed five were not very far below the pass mark. Towards the end of term a large consignment of new uniforms arrived, mainly as a result of the combined efforts of Mr. Power and Hawkins. It is hoped that these will contribute to increased smartness in the Section.
R.A.F. SECTION Sgt. D. L. Brown became N.C.O. in charge, Flt./Sgt. J. M. Lord having moved to the N.C.O. Cadre, in charge. Advanced Proficiency training started for a small number of Proficient cadets, the remainder joining either the Cadre or the Civil Defence Detachment. The new entrants are attached to the Army Section to train the Test in the summer. 21
