The Games Room, an innovation in The Manor, has been enthusiastically used, and thanks to the keenness of Barker, competitions in table tennis, darts and shove ha'penny have been arranged and completed.

The Junior Discussion Group, formed by Haggie, Wilson and Atkinson, met with enthusiastic support and it is hoped this will continue to thrive. Several outside speakers came this term and Lilley gave a talk on the U.S.A.

The new extensions finally got under way this term. So far various doors have been blocked up and two showers demolished; by the end of term about ten feet of the building, which will eventually join the two houses, had been built and this, we feel, is progress.

QUEEN'S

Three new monitors, M. A. Clegg, A. Hardman and Stuttard, were appointed at the beginning of term, and all have acquitted themselves well in their new positions. The first event of term was the departure of the Work Cup to Temple, but this was somewhat compensated for by the appointment of Jesper as Captain of Hockey and Clegg as Captain of Boating.

After a useful start to the Rugger season with three members of the House in the 1st XV our hopes were somewhat dampened by a series of injuries. Nevertheless, the Senior team did well to beat Temple in the semi-final and lose only narrowly to School House in the final. The Junior team went one better, beating Temple, The Manor and The Rise to win the cup for the second year in succession. As a result of their performances in these matches Cossins was awarded his Senior House Colours and King, Shouksmith and Wallace their Junior Colours.

Our performance in the Chess was by no means so eventful, but the team acquitted itself well, forcing Temple to a draw and unfortunately losing in the replay.

Finally we say goodbye to Mr. Holbeche. Although he was not with us for as long as we might have wished, he has done much for the House: during the last four terms considerable improvements have been made and Mr. Holbeche's unflagging enthusiasm and, where appropriate, stentorian tones from the touchline have been appreciated by all House teams. We thank Mr. Holbeche for all he has done and for the priceless Cezanne which he has presented to the House, and we wish him well in his new appointment.

THE RISE

We arrived to find that Foy, Kettlewell, Marsay, R. H. Parker, Robson and Wilson had been appointed House Monitors, while C. J. Parker had been elevated to the heights of School Monitorship and T. P. N. Fawcett was Head of the House.

We must congratulate Wilson on gaining one of the three State Scholarships awarded to St. Peter's this year. 8
