OLD PETERITE NEWS A meeting of the General Committee of the O.P. Club was held at the School on 16th December. It was reported that the amount covenanted or subscribed in response to the Memorial Hall appeal was now £13,200 and that a further £600 was still required to clear the cost of the Hall. In the hope of obtaining new members a list of Old Peterites attending the School since 1920, who had not joined the Club, was to be compiled but, as the present whereabouts of many of them would be unknown, it was decided that the list of such should be published in "The Peterite" when compiled, with a request for assistance in tracing. Members of the Committee were also requested to canvass any O.P. non-member known to them to join the Club. Reports of District Committees were received. Commemoration, 1962 : — (a) It was reported that Field-Marshal Lord Montgomery had kindly consented to present the prizes next Speech Day and would attend the C.C.F.
