RISE HOUSE

After the disappointments of last term we have been fully compensated by the winning of the Senior Cricket Cup and the Yeomans Cup by a most resolute team. In addition to this the House Tennis Team fought their way to the final, only to be beaten by a very strong Grove team, who clinched their claim to the Oxford Cup with this victory.

Our swimming and boating efforts did not show themselves too well, but looking to the junior part of the house, we could fare a great deal better in swimming in the future.

We were proud to note that no less than nine prizes were won by Risites and we congratulate the winners. 19

After his brief stay we had to say farewell to Mr. Riley as Assistant Housemaster, though we are assured of his continued interest in the House in the coming years. We thank him for his services to the House and wish him every happiness in his married life. To commemorate his term with us Mr. Riley very kindly presented us with a reference book for the House Library. We also said farewell to eleven members of the House and wish them well in their chosen futures.

On the face of it, the term was not obviously successful in the sporting world. However, though we have now lost most of the cups we had won in our first year, the various teams and crews acquitted themselves well, the House VIII once again reaching the final of the House boating, and the House Swimming Team being runners-up in the inter-house swimming competition. We passed the Oxford Cup on to the Grove with our congratulations. Our efforts on the cricket field were gratifying considering the small number of cricketers in the House, and for his services in this direction and his many other contributions to the life of the House, M. J. T. Carr was awarded his House Colours.

THE GROVE

In the end this last term proved very successful in spite of a few disappointments at the beginning.

In spite of J. J. Vooght's efforts to coach the cricket teams, they failed to retain any of the cups. The Junior team, in fact, made a very disappointing show. The Senior team, however, beat Queen's convincingly, but were finally beaten by the Rise after a splendid match.

In the Swimming Sports the House team was placed fourth in spite of the vigorous training. C. R. Outhwaite won the dive and was awarded his colours for his efforts. D. H. Brown deserves a mention too as he amassed the greatest number of points for the House. The Juniors, however, had more success and won the Swimming Standards' Cup, which was awarded for the first time this year.

Both the House rowing VIII and IV made brave efforts in the House races. Credit must be given to I. M. Crombie, the captain, for his coaching and encouragement.

The Shooters had the greatest success. They won both the team and aggregate cups. J. F. Brown was awarded his House Colours for his efforts in this field and for many other services to the House. P. J. G. C. Bleach to to be congratulated, too, on winning the Recruit Cup for the House.

Under D. R. Baxter's excellent captaincy, the tennis team avenged their defeat last year by winning the cup this year so easily.

The height of our success in sport was marked by the winning of the Oxford Cup, which stands among another thirteen cups won throughout the year.

Finally, we congratulate Mr. Allen on his marriage and wish him all the best in the future.

J. R. H. Midgley, who joined the Juniors, was the only newcomer to the House this term.

During The term C. J. A. Smith was appointed a House Monitor.

Unfortunately the House was not very successful either on the sports field or in the class-room. In the cricket the Junior XI played very well in the first two rounds, but fell disastrously below standard in the final. The Burton Cup for Senior House Leagues came off the shelf after a twoyear stay in the House, as under the rules we were not able to produce a team.

In the boating we failed to collect any cups, and the shooters failed to reach the very high standard of the previous year, though D. J. McKenzie did extremely well to be chosen to shoot for the C.C.F. in Canada, as did L. M. Creer in winning the Northern Command C.C.F. Championship.

However, in the swimming we did very well in coming third, and in the chess it is believed we are in the final, but because of exam commitments this inter-house competition has dragged over two terms.

The House musicians deserve congratulations for their performance in pulling off the Baird Cup.

D. J. McKenzie, I. L. Boyd and N. E. Tomlinson are to be congratulated on the award of their Senior House Colours and Morris on his Junior House Colours.

Mr. Austin is leaving us to get married. He has been in the House two years and we thank him for all that he has done for us, and we wish him happiness and prosperity in the future.

As for all the other leavers, we thank them for all that they have done, especially the monitors, in the running of the House. We wish them all the best in their future careers and hope to see them back here sometime.

QUEEN'S

With only one new boy coming this term there were no drastic changes in the House and the term started smoothly, if slowly.

In the sports field the House had mixed success. The House Cricket teams had little success, although the league teams did extremely well. The poor cricket may be due to the fact that Queen's has more oarsmen than any other house. Both the House VIII and House IV rowed extremely well, the IV being a little unlucky in having rowed together only twice before their first race. Queen's had luck in the rowing draw, having byes in both events. (The fact that the Captain of Boats was in Queen's is completely coincidental with the draw !). Both House crews reached the final and the VIII rowed brilliantly to beat Dronfield, last year's holders, by two lengths.

The House acquitted themselves quite well in the tennis, but had little success in the swimming, although G. F. Hardman and J. A. S. Benn swam well to obtain most of the points between them. 21

P. S. Oglesby and G. A. Willstrop are to be congratulated on the award of their House Colours for long and useful service to the House in many fields.

We wish the leavers well in the future and hope they have every success that they deserve.

SCHOOL HOUSE

The term started by welcoming Miss Barlow, as the new matron, and three new juniors. Sporting activities this term brought us two cups. The best achievement was the winning of the Kazerooni Cup for inter-house swimming. The junior part of the House was particularly strong, with the Sargeant brothers and Jervis winning many events. Sargeant, K. J., was awarded his School Swimming Colours. In the newly introduced swimming standards for the junior section of the School we were runners-up. The House VIII, coached by Mr. Duncan, reached the semifinal by beating the Manor. The Junior IV, Argyle, C. R., Town, Williamson, Wilson and Exell, coached by Lazenby, won the House IV's Cup. House Colours were awarded to R. N. Beaumont and M. A. Groundwater.

It was encouraging to see the House leading in the Junior Section of the Work Cup. Both House Cricket teams lost in their first round matches. Leavers at the end of term included all the monitors, Sinclair and Knowles and Mr. Williams, who had been Assistant House-Master for three years. We wish them every happiness and success in the future.

TEMPLE

The House came back this term to bask in the reflected glory of the success of J. Pawson in winning the Public Schools' Individual Foil Championship in London during the holidays. We offer him our congratulations.

Perhaps, however, the main achievement of the term was the winning, for the first time during Mr. Rhodes' housemastership of Temple, a House Cricket Cup. Our Senior team, having beaten the Manor in the last over and the School House by 10 wickets, lost to a strong Rise team in the final. The Junior House team, however, having defeated the Grove and Queens, went on to defeat the Manor convincingly by ten wickets in the Final. For their enthusiastic determination against seemingly overwhelming odds Lancaster, Graham and D. J. Barker were awarded their Senior House Colours and Cowan and Place their Junior House Colours. Cantrell, already a Junior Colour, is to be congratulated on his captaincy of the Junior team.

The Senior House VIII lost by a length to the Grove, whilst the Junior IV, although relatively inexperienced, put up a brave effort to lose by two lengths to the School House, also the eventual winners. The Tennis team lost in the first round to the Grove who went on to win the cup. 22
