THE PETERITE Vol. LIX

FEBRUARY, 1967

No. 374

EDITORIAL The main purpose of this magazine is, and always must be, to report news. This news will be in part the happenings at St. Peter's and in part the activities of Old Peterites. This magazine acts as a news-letter with a wide circulation and as a regular addition to the archives of the school, so that at any time ready reference may be made to it. But is the mere recording of facts and statistics enough? The opinions and ideas of successive generations of Peterites are, after all, just as much part of the fabric of life here as are the events and ought, therefore, to be recorded. The excellent contribution to cultural expression made by Oasis has a limited readership, especially among Old Peterites. There would appear to be no reason why the two publications should not be complementary. This magazine, like all others, is at the mercy of its readers, and there can be no broadening of its scope without contributions from them. Letters to the Editor, of complaint or accord, will be most welcome. A selection will be published. Pieces of imaginative writing and expressions of opinion will also find a place. In this way, the magazine will be a record, not just of what Peterites have done, but of what they have thought.

SCHOOL NOTES At the beginning of term we welcomed Mr. R. J. Bulcock to teach English, Mr. J. P. Rigby to teach Economics, History and English and Mr. P. G. Wise to teach Physics. We wish them a long and pleasant stay at St. Peter's.

Mr. Mair was away on Sabbatical Leave this term and we are most grateful to Mrs. Wilks for filling his shoes so successfully. 1

The new classrooms in the Grove Block were opened on Monday, 24th October and the staff-room extension in the old book-room was also completed. On Tuesday, 8th November, it was announced that Mr. P. D. R. Gardiner, M.A., would succeed Mr. Dronfield as Headmaster in September, 1967. Mr. Gardiner is a Housemaster at Charterhouse, where he is also Senior English Master. He is joint author of "Intelligent Reading".

The Geographers paid a return visit to Felsted School, Essex, to do a survey. A report appears inside.

* We have welcomed three visitors in particular this term. Mr. M. V. Tangitau, who is Headmaster of a school in Tonga, and Mr. V. U Cama, who is a Housemaster in Fiji, were at the School at the end of November and the beginning of December. They were interested in all aspects of boarding-school life and had many interesting comparisons to make with the educational systems in the countries from which they came. Also Mr. P. D. Robinson came to us from Uganda, where he is a Headmaster. He gave a talk to Transitus. The November edition of the Leeds Graphic carried a long article about St. Peter's in the series Famous Yorkshire Schools. The article summarised the history of the School and gave some idea of its general running. The new footbridge over Clifton has won a Commendation in the Civic Trust Awards for 1966. The assesor's report spoke of "the lightness and grace both of form and detail that add interest to the street picture". *

During the holidays D. J. Emsley, who has been captain of the School XV for three years, played twice for the Yorkshire Schoolboys, once against Lancashire and once against Wales. We congratulate him and thank him for the honour he has brought to the School.

In November C. A. Wood won the Under 20's Championship of the North at Ashton-under-Lyne. Congratulations to all concerned. 2

MR. P. J. WELLS At the end of last term Mr. Wells left us to take up his new appointment as Senior Lecturer in Mathematics at Nottingham Training College. Three years and one term is a comparatively short while, but few will have left such an indelible mark as did Mr. Wells in such a short time. Whether as master in charge of the School Library, or in other of his many activities, Mr. Wells fired enthusiasm and energy into all who made contact with him. Above all, though, we thank him for the invaluable contribution which he made to the teaching of Mathematics in the School. Messrs. D. A. Burnell, R. Scaife and D. Hargrave, open scholars all, especially have much to thank him for. As Assistant Housemaster to both the Manor and the Grove in his all too short stay with us, we learnt of his many other qualities—his interest in every individual, his sense of fun, his thoroughness and attention to detail and above all his infectious enthusiasm. We convey to both him and Mrs. Wells our grateful thanks and best wishes for the future. PROFESSOR J. A. DAVISON It is with great regret that we have to record the sudden death of Professor J. A. Davison on 29th December, at the relatively early age of 60. Professor Davison was appointed in 1954 to represent Leeds University on the Governing Body of St. Peter's School, and since that time has been a familiar figure at many School functions and a most assiduous member of the Board. While his abiding interest was in Classics, he showed a keen understanding of the problems which from time to time had to be faced by the Governors. We shall miss his wise counsel and his readiness at all times to give us his full support, and we extend to Mrs. Davison our deepest sympathy. MR. E. K. ROBINSON The School, the Staff and the Old Peterites were shocked to hear of the death of Mr. E. K. Robinson, who retired as recently as last July. He was returning from India where he had been visiting his daughter and her husband. He died at sea on 24th January, 1967. We extend our very deepest sympathy to Mrs. Robinson and their two daughters.

HOUSE NOTES DRONFIELD HOUSE At the beginning of the term Mr. Bulcock joined the House as Assistant Housemaster and it is hoped that his stay will be happy and longer than his predecessors'. We were also joined by ten new boys—nine juniors and a senior. The sporting activities of the House have been very encouraging. The Junior House rugger team, captained by R. S. Johnson, got to the final after beating The Rise and School House. They were eventually beaten by a strong Manor side after putting up a valiant fight; the pack playing particularly well. For their efforts in various fields R. S. Johnson and J. A. Pease were awarded their Junior House Colours. The Senior House team won the Rugger Cup for the third year running after three good matches against The Grove, Queen's and Temple. The House had six 1st XV members and several 2nd XV members which was a considerable help. There were two House Society meetings this term arranged by A. M. Dawood. One was by Mr. Wise on Wine and Beer Making and the other by Mr. Bulcock on his trip through Eastern Europe, which was illustrated by slides. The foundations for next term's play were laid under the directions of E. M. Holgate and much useful practice was obtained by eleven members of the House in "The Pirates of Penzance". We will miss C. W. Clegg, who is leaving after three terms as Head of House, and we know he is dying to take up his temporary job with British Rail, before going to university.

THE GROVE The Grove started the year with Emsley appointed as Head of House, Dew Vice-Head and Mawer, Marshall, Reid, Roebuck, Green and Waller as House Monitors. We also welcomed Mr. Austin as our new assistant Housemaster. The number of boys in the House has decreased from 53 to 47 owing to a number of Seniors leaving and only nine juniors entering the House. Our numbers at the top of the House were added to when Mark C. Lindberg, an American, joined the House for the year. We hope his stay is a happy and memorable one. The term has not been marked by any outstanding sporting conquest, though the Senior House team put up an excellent fight against probably the strongest Dronfield team yet fielded, going down 0-6 in the end. In the Work Cup Competition we discovered that the House possesses a good deal of intellectual talent being placed second in both Senior and Junior parts of the competition. The addition of two more classrooms to the Grove block was watched with interest and the final building is pleasant enough to the eye and blends well with the Scott Block area. It was with great regret that we learned Mr. Wells was to leave us at the end of Christmas for he has pursued with great enthusiasm the interests 7

of the House. We all wish him and Mrs. Wells the best of luck for the future and hope that they do not forget where we are. We extend a hearty welcome to Mr. Bulcock as his successor. R. Mawer is leaving this term and we thank him for all he has done and wish him all the best for the future. Finally we may now look forward to the next two terms confident that we still have an enthusiastic and spirited House.

THE MANOR With the beginning of the year, we welcomed a new Assistant Housemaster in Mr. P. G. Wise, from Durham University, and we wish him a pleasant stay. The following were chosen to form the monitorial body for the year: D. R. Ballinger, P. R. H. Blackford, Q. Gray, C. A. Les, J. M. Mckay and J. C. Platts. The amount of silverware on the House cup shelf was doubled with the Junior House team overwhelming all opposition, in the form of Temple and Dronfield House. Captained by A. Holmes and containing three Colts Colours, the team showed their superiority in varying conditions. For their efforts in the Junior and Senior House teams, G. M. Watson, R. M. Cooper and P. Holmes were awarded their Junior House Colours. The Senior team were not as successful, having a fortunate victory over Rise in the first round, as a result of two tries by K. Morris, but then losing to Temple, under very heavy conditions, in the semi-finals. P. R. H. Blackford and C. J. A. Smith were awarded their Senior House Colours for services in this and other fields. The House Chess team, captained by R. F. Cawood, was unfortunate to lose to Queen's in the first round. Some ten people are involved with the School Opera, including two of the major parts, and in the Easter Term the House hopes to put on its own production of "The Knight of the Burning Pestle".

QUEEN'S HOUSE The new school year started with P. S. Oglesby being appointed as Head of House. C. J. Pearson, W. D. Fleming, D. S. Lockhart, P. Moore and J. R. Wood were appointed House Monitors. We welcomed into the House 15 new boys this term. This brought the total strength of the House to 66. In the Work Shield competition we came 6th, which is the lowest position we have been in for a long time; however, we seem to have been doing better this term. In the Senior Rugger we looked like having a good team. We drew a bye for the first round, meeting Dronfield in the semi-finals. Dronfield were the favourites, but we were determined to win, and had we not had three of the strongest members of the team missing, the result might have been in our favour. The team played extremely well, although losing 12-5. We were also unfortunate in the Junior Rugger when our team was beaten in the first round by School House 14-16. 8

As usual we were well represented in School teams this term; J. A. S. Berm being awarded his 1st XV Colours and C. J. Pearson, J. R. Wood, Dickinson, C. A. Wood and Oglesby were awarded their 2nd XV Colours. Senior House Colours this term were awarded to C. J. Pearson, J. R. Wood and Dickinson. Junior House Colours were awarded to M. C. Pearson. We are losing five members of the House this term; C. J. Pearson, D. Hargrave, Coke, Dixon and Pettinger. We hope that they are all successful in their new fields and thank them for all they have done for the House. After a great deal of discussion it was decided to produce liarliquinade', by Rattigan, as the House play for next term and preparations are now under way. C. A. Wood is to be congratulated on winning the Northern Under 20's' Fencing Championship this term, and also coming 2nd in the Irish Championships during the summer holidays.

THE RISE We arrived back at the beginning of this term to find A. W. Fieldhouse, R. I. Moss, A. W. Parker and M. A. Summers-Smith appointed House Monitors and D. M. Rawlings and P. M. Shepherd School Monitors. A. J. Gill was also made a House Monitor at half-term. In the Senior House Rugger Tournament we faired rather badly, when we lost to a not very strong Manor team, 6-3. Our Junior House team also lost in the first round to a strong Dronfield team, 21-0. Our team was a weak one owing to the fact that we had only one Junior Colt in the side, but several members of the team excelled themselves in playing with much determination and spirit. At the end of term the Senior House rugger team played a representative side of Old Risites. The match was keenly contested on a Sunday morning and ended in a 15 all draw. A fair but uncontrived result. It was a great success and enjoyed by everybody who played. We hope this fixture will be continued. Although the Rise Society only had one meeting this term it was extremely successful. It took the form of a talk on New Zealand by Mr. Duncan, who had taught there for three years. Finally we hope that the fact that five Riseites are leaving this term will not be too detrimental to the House.

SCHOOL HOUSE At the beginning of term we welcomed Mr. Clark and Mr. Dixon as Assistant Housemasters. We hope they will be happy with us. Mr. A. Groundwater was appointed Head of House and J. N. Yellowley is to be congratulated on being appointed Chapel Monitor. We started the term with only three House Monitors, C. R. Argyle, J. S. W. Cook and Wilson, but the numbers were soon made up to five, with the appointment of Ogley and Hodges. 9

Rugby proved to be rather weak amongst the senior part of the House and we were beaten by Temple in the first round. The Junior team was slightly more successful and beat Queen's, only to be beaten by a very determined Dronfield XV. House Leagues were pursued with a great deal of enthusiasm and although both competitions were unfinished, the seniors only lost one match. House Squash, Table Tennis and Chess Ladders were started, and Mr. Clark took a squash class once a week for a group of juniors. The Ecclesia held one meeting this term When Mr. Cama, the Headmaster of a school in Fiji and Mr. Tangitau, a Headmaster from a school in Tonga, gave a talk on their respective countries. The talk was illustrated with slides and was much appreciated by all. Mr. Cama was attached to the House throughout his stay, and we thank him for all the entertainment he gave us. The House had a large number of participants in the School Opera and Wilson, Hardy, Howat and Baby had parts as principals. We intend to put on a play of our own next term.

TEMPLE The term began with the appointment of Ward as Head of the House and Bowie, Anderson, Russell, Reeves and Sugar as House Monitors. At the suggestion of these new appointments the experiment was made of abolishing fagging, apparently quite successfully. As a result of the exam results and the past year's work Temple again won the Work Cup. In Rugger we were quite well represented in the School teams with Carr and Summers in the 1st XV as well as two members of the 2nd XV, three Colts and, at one stage, as many as six Under 14 Colts. The Senior House team had two convincing wins over School House and Manor, and lost to Dronfield in the final for the second time running, this year by nine points to nil. Third time lucky, we hope. The Junior team beat Grove and lost to Manor, the eventual winners. Summers, Carr and Cantrell were awarded their House Colours and Jackson, Thompson and A. S. Bowie their Junior House Colours. We have reached the final of the House Chess and hope to win next term, despite the departure of most of our team. The House played an important part in the production of "The Pirates of Penzance", with Bainbridge and T. J. Young among the leading ladies and Carr as a realistic pirate and Cantrell as a silent promptor. We were also well represented in the Choir with six trebles and two others. Finally we congratulate Skerrett on winning an Open Scholarship in English to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and say goodbye' to him and to Sugar and Russell. We wish them all success in the future. 10

1st RUGBY FOOTBALL XV, 1966

Scenes from "The Pirates of Penzance'

THE CHAPEL The pattern of our Services in Chapel remained much the same as in former years, with special services for the Harvest Thanksgiving and for Remembrance Sunday, Sung Communion on the First Sunday in Advent and the Carol Service on the last Sunday of term. This term's innovations were mainly musical. Two well-known hymns, "New every morning" and "Jesu, lover of my Soul", came to us with new tunes by Malcolm Williamson, the Australian composer. We experimented too, with the psalms. On one Sunday we used Father Gelinzau's method, which keeps close to the pulse of the Hebrew originals, and on another we sang the psalm to the version in the Revised Psalter, which was much appreciated. For the 'Sung Communion Mr. Waine provided a new setting for the 'Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei. On Quinquagesima Sunday we hope to sing it with the whole School taking part, as Mr. Waine originally intended. Circumstances forced us to keep the Carol Service to some of the simpler and better known carols. This resulted in a rather shorter service than usual and yet one which seems to have been enjoyed more than ever. Once again we have had a distinguished trio of visiting preachers, the Provost of Sheffield, Conon Mark Green from Bishopthorpe and the Dean of York. We are most grateful to them for coming. N.K-W.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE Memorial Hall, 15th 16th, and 17th December Gilbert and 'Sullivan light operas are redolent of gas-lamps and horsedrawn carriages. To reproduce this atmosphere in a school hall demands a convincing set and an impressive opening to the •performance. This production had both. The set was at once bright and interesting and, as we saw as the evening progressed, flexible. The colourful first scene set a pace that was well maintained to the final triumphant curtain. Gilbert's humour, aural and visual, came over splendidly—particularly in the scene when the Pirate King and Ruth, pointing pistols at Frederick's head, beg for mercy. The Major General's daughters, assorted in size and femininity, were collectively ravishing, tripping on without stumbling, dancing without stamping, they were superb. The whiskery policemen carried all before them, and what they lacked in musical prowess they more than made up for in Flanagan and Allen good humour. They sang with a gusto that suggested they were still in their bath. The Pirates were menacing, villainous and peerless. Of the principals, the dual Mabel, who made the most of her wonderful first entry, deserves special mention. Up on musical tiptoe, she scarcely faltered and never fell. She led the audience through the contortions of the plot with unfailing charm. Frederic, in a very, very difficult part, performed most creditably and sang his hardest songs the best. The Pirate King and the Major-General were full of life and invention, obviously enjoying their songs as much as the audience. Ruth, after a little initial discomfort, sang better and with more confidence as the performance went on. By the end she was fully at home in her unaccustomed vocal range and 11

succeeded in making Frederic's choice of Mabel wholly credible. Both Samuel and the Sergeant of Police did well enough to suggest that they could have handled larger parts with ease, which is a fine reflection of them as well as on those who did take the main roles. Sullivan himself would have approved of the orchestra's firm playing. Whether leading the actors or supporting them, the music was never obtrusive and always audible. Our thanks go to all those who combined to make this production such a notable success—to those backstage who worked to build the set to those who so expertly supervised the dressing and applied the make-up to the entire cast and, of course, to Mr. Bolton, Mr. Waine and Mr. Field, who nursed the whole project from the beginning and gave us an evening that was not only instructive but also a nappy one.

DEBATING SOCIETY This term there were five meetings and three of these were open. The debating year started well with the motion "This house would fly to the moon while millions starve." It was the first of three open meetings and the speeches, both from platform and floor, were lively. The second meeting was closed, being a debate on the wage freeze. The other closed meeting was on the relative popularity of the Beatles and Christ and the Society proved to show a leaning towards Lennon. The highlight of a term's debating was the third meeting of term when Mr. A. V. A. Dickil (O.P.) of Lincoln College, Oxford, and J. N. Spencer (O.P.) of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, proposed the motion "This House would welcome a successful gunpowder plot". This debate brought forth some interesting comments and much laughter; we thank the visitors and congratulate them on their victory. The term closed with a minor disaster in the form of the unsuccessful debate, "This House will be glad to see the end of 1966". Its collapse is particularly unfortunate as it was entirely against the trend of improvement throughout the term.

SENIOR SCIENCE SOCIETY Secretary: M. A. SUMMERS-SMITH. Chairman: J. S. W. COOK. Treasurer: J. C. PLATTS. Dronfield House: D. J. DOYLE. The Grove: H. J. ROBINSON. The Manor: D. R. BALLINGER. Queen's: W. D. FLEMING The Rise: A. W. FIELDHOUSE. School House: J. S. W. COOK. Temple: S. C. SUGAR. For the first meeting of the term, on 24th September, the Society, as usual, joined with the Junior Science Society for a showing of several scientific films. The second meeting was held on 8th October when Mr. Ellis, of the Bradford Institute of Technology, spoke on "Low Temperature Engineering and the Space Age". He first described the production of low temperatures, then turning to various uses, speaking at length on rockets and rocket fuels.

The next meeting was five weeks later, on 12th November. Mr. Wood of Bradford University, addressed the Society on "Gyroscopes". After a short mathematical analysis, he demonstrated some of their properties and described some applications and uses. The final meeting of the term was held on 26th November. When Dr. Cundall, of Nottingham University, gave a talk on "Explosives". The topic was fully covered and well illustrated with both slides and demonstrations. This was undoubtedly the most popular meeting of the term. On the last Wednesday of term, a selected group of some twenty members made a tour of the new brew -house of the Charrington's Group at Tadcaster. The party was shown around by Mr. Baby. The tour started at the top of the building and both 'wet' and 'dry' sides of the fermentation process. After looking round the bottling plant, the party rapidly headed for the visitors' bar to sample the finished product. The Society would like to thank M. P. Baby for using his influence in obtaining the trip. M.A.S-S.

MODERN LANGUAGES SOCIETY There were two meetings held during the term, when attendance outstripped all expectations. Unfortunately the majority of those attending the meetings were non-members. We hope that this uninhibited enthusiasm will continue throughout the remainder of the school year. The first meeting was held in the Lecture Theatre, when M. Michel Cousin, a French "assistant" living in York, gave an illustrated talk, in French, on "Paris". This proved very interesting and there were several questions at the end of the talk, before C. J. A. Smith's extremely witty dissertation of thanks. The second and final meeting of the term consisted of an extremely interesting talk on "The French Economy", given by the "assistant" from Nunthorpe. Both these meetings were well attended, and next term's programme promises to be very successful if the audiences are of comparable size and enthusiasm. J. R. Bailey.

RUSSIAN SOCIETY Secretary: A. M. BOWIE. Treasurer: D. C. WALLER. Grove House: W. J. ROEBUCK. Dronfield House: E. M. HOLGATE. Queen's House: D. HARGRAVE. The Manor: Q. GRAY. School House: M. A. GROUNDWATER. The Rise: M. A. SUMMERS-SMITH. Temple: S. C. SUGAR. Only two meetings were held during the term owing to the unavailability of the proposed outside speakers. At the first a debate was held on the subject "Red or Dead". S. C. Sugar proposed being Red, while E. M. Holgate preferred being Dead. 14

The main points that arose from Sugar's speech were that everyone would be equal and have equal opportunities, and that if you did not believe in Communism, you could always fight against it if you were alive. Holgate stressed the fact that Communism took all the ambition out of life and left you little to live for. Many points were raised at the end and the result of the debate was that: 22 would prefer to be DEAD 20 would prefer to be RED and 6 abstained. The debate was very popular and will be used much more often in the future. At the second meeting the film "Battleship Potemkin" was shown. It was a very old film and had English explanations spliced into the film. Obviously, because of its age, it was not a film for those who were looking for a technicolour epic. For those who could appreciate the beginnings of the cinema it was excellent. Next term it is hoped to get Brian Warner, from York University, to talk to the Society on his year-long stay in Russia, 1962-63.

THEOLOGICAL SOCIETY After consideration had been given to many suggested topics for meetings, by the committee, it was decided that the first of three meetings of the term should be a talk by Mr. Waine on "Modern Church Music". This talk, in the Music School, was very enlightening and basically traced the history of church music from the turn of the century to the present day. This was illustrated by records and Mr. Waine's playing on the piano, the Society was issued with hymn books and was asked to join in some of the well known hymns—to new settings. Mr. Waine was especially well qualified to talk on this topic as he had recently attended a course on it and his wide experience was to some extent passed on. The Society was very pleased to find some of the new tunes being introduced into our chapel services and we hope to hear and sing new tunes regularly in the future. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Waine for an excellent talk. The second meeting of the term, in the Stephenson Room, was a talk by the Junior School Chaplin—Mr. Burden, who is renowned for his interesting and lively lectures. He spoke to us on the theme of 'What is God". He began by saying that his talk was a precis on the book "debate on God"—a book, which with others, he had with him and said he was prepared to loan to members. He used diagrams to illustrate his many points and his vivacious approach assured full attention, which was necessary if any members wanted to participate in the debate which followed. The third and final meeting consisted of two films being shown in the Lecture Theatre. This was an open meeting and the films shown were "Singapore Story" and "The Supreme Secret". Both of these were in a series on prayer and the former was the story of the Bishop of Birmingham, while he was the Bishop of Singapore, recounting his experiences in the concentration camp of Singapore. 15

This was followed up, as it were, by an away match, the C.E.M. Conference at Bootham School, where the Dean of York, Dr. Alan Richardson, spoke on "The Existence of God". After a short talk, the delegates split up into discussion groups and then after the Dean answered some of the many questions that had arisen. After the conference finished it was suggested that a similar meeting could be arranged at "home" and we hope this will occur soon. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking the Rev. N. KempWelch for taking great pains in obtaining the right films and for his invaluable assistance in asking the visiting speakers. This term we have had nearly 100 members of the Society and I hope this trend continues, and the enthusiasm stays in the coming term. R.I.M.

ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY Over 2,000 birds have been ringed this year which is the highest annual total since ringing started in 1960. The numbers of individual species are listed at the end. The majority of these have been trapped at the roost near Skelton. Recoveries of note for 1965, 1966 are also given at the end. Two visits to the Calf of Man Observatory were run, one at Easter and the other in early August.

The Manor: C. J. A. SMITH. Temple: A. M. BOWIE. The Rise: P. J. SHANNON. After Mr. Robinson's departure, Mr. Wise took over the reins and stressed his intention that the Society should be run by the members with only the slightest help from himself. Three meetings were held. Two demonstrations were given, the first was given by Collier and Shannon on enlarging photographs and was well attended. The process is relatively simple and many people have done enlarging this term. Another demonstration was given at the following meeting, this time on the development of film. C. J. A. Smith and Brockbank spoke. Finally, Mr. Tangitau gave an illustrated talk on Tonga, which was mteresting, as few people knew very much about the islands. During the term a trip was held which toured the villages of Yorkshire. 12 people went on it through such villages as Helmsley, Hutton-le-Hole and Old Malton. Fylingdales was also visited. A tour of York's Railway Yards is planned for next term. A.M.B.

ART SOCIETY There were three meetings this term. The first was on the 22nd of October, when Mr. J. Langdon, a member of the "York Four", gave the Society a lecture on "Art and Morality", it was an open meeting and highly successful; he used slides and a record player to illustrate his lecture. The second meeting was held on 12th November, when Mr. J. Bunting, a famous international sculptor, who has held exhibitions in England and Europe, gave a lecture on "Sixty Glorious Years, 1906-1966". The last meeting was held on 10th December; it was an open meeting and nonmembers were charged sixpence to enter to help pay for the film "Henry Moore" whibh was shown. Supporting the film was a filmstrip about Leonardo Da Vinci and A. W. Parker talked to the Society about it. M. G. Pace (President).

EQUINE SOCIETY Two meetings of this rapidly expanding society took place this term. During the first meeting, a film entitled "The Racing Revolution" was shown. This included many shots of northern courses and training establishments and was appreciated by all who attended. At the other meeting, two of the country's leading "jump" jockeys, Pat McCarron and Gerry Scott, came to talk and showed films of six "Grand Nationals", which were most interesting and entertaining. R.J.M. 17

THE BRITISH SHIP ADOPTION SOCIETY Since the death of Capt. Graham early in the year, the School has been without a proper link. However, in January we start with an "adoption" of S.S. "Devon", and hope to start an interesting correspondence once again. Our correspondent will be the master, Capt. Burn. The "Devon" is owned by the New Zealand Shipping Co. Ltd., and was built at Glasgow in 1946, dead weight tonnage 10,320. She is due at Dunkirk and subsequently at London and Hull, shortly before Christmas, with a cargo of lamb, butter, cheese and wool from New Zealand.

YOUNG FARMERS' CLUB Six meetings were arranged for the Christmas Term. The first meeting on 22nd September, was a talk by Mr. R. Chester on "future trends in farming". Mr. Chester started by looking back and seeing how trends have changed, particularly noting the change in fertilizers and the great shortage of labour. Mr. Chester thought that livestock farming will become more intensive and more animals will have to be kept indoors. The second talk of the term was given by Mr. Monday on "beef production". Mr. Monday described the rearing of calves and the rationing until they are ready to be put out to grass. The cattle are then left until they weigh 8-9 cwt. and then they are slaughtered. Mr. Monday illustrated his talk with slides. On 20th October Dr. Hawker gave the Club a talk on "crop storage". Dr. Hawker gave us an outline of the drying methods of storage and the chilling methods. Drying is excellent but the plant is expensive to install so the chilling unit is often preferred to the drying unit. Dr. Hawker also mentioned the silo type storage and the means of storing potatoes. The fourth meeting was held on 3rd November when Mr. N. K. Taylor gave the club a talk on his farm in Kenya. Mr. Taylor told us that he went out there with very little money and started in a mud hut. He gradually converted his 2,000 acres of wilderness into quite a profitable farm. Mr. Taylor also described how he grew and stored his crops in the hot climate. The final talk of the term was given by Mr. J. Penty and Mr. D. Knowlson on "the work of the farmers' merchant". Mr. Penty said that his job was as a seed merchant. He told us how he tried to please the farmers and encourage the small farmers with schemes to dry their crops and store them. He also said that they acted as an advisory service. Mr. Knowlson said he covered a wide range of products and must be able to supply the farmer at short notice and be able to buy and sell the farmers' crops. On Thursday, 17th November, the advisory committee met and discussed ideas for meetings for the Easter and Summer Terms. Also on the 29th November the club met to elect a new chairman as D. M. Rawlings was leaving. J. M. Lillie was elected to take this post and R. I. Pigg took Lillie's place as secretary. Finally Mr. Coulthard thanked D. M. Rawlings on behalf of the Club for his valuable service to the Club. R.P.M. 18

SIXTH FORM GEOGRAPHICAL FIELD STUDY TRIP TO FELSTED SCHOOL, ESSEX Having travelled down in the school minibus we had an excellent meal and after a meeting of Felsted and St. Peter's geographers we were shown round the School and entertained by the prefects. An early start was required to ensure completion of our programme. By 9 o'clock we were travelling northwards towards the Devil's Dyke; after a quick examination of the Dyke we went on our way to Wicken Fen, the only remaining area of true fen. There we were shown the flora and fauna of the fen by the National Trust Warden and afterwards inspected the reconstructed windmill and the museum. Heading for the "Old Bedford" and "Hundred Foot" rivers we skirted the Isle of Ely. These two rivers were cut by man; on the outsides there are high banks, the intervening area being the washlands, to allow for flooding. We then travelled to the downstream intersection of the two rivers at Denver, where we were shown the sluices, which control the waters of the fens, and of the chalk lands of High Norfolk and Suffolk. Turning southwards we headed for Thetford Forest, which is owned by the Forestry Commission and covers nearly 47,000 acres of the Suffolk and Norfolk Brecklands. Here we were shown the various trees of the Forest, the wood-yard and the despatching depot. The party returned to school in time for the evening meal and all being very fatigued we retired early. Following another early start we returned to York via Harlow New Town. There, although the weather was damp and misty, we were able to gain a useful impression of one of Britain's first New Towns. This detour rounded off a most interesting and informative visit to the south. We would like to thank Mr. C. B. Gregory, Felsted's Geography Master, Felsted School Sanatorium Sister, who very kindly accommodated us, and Mr. Coulthard for chauffeuring us and arranging the visit. The members of the party were: —L. M. Creer, Q. Gray, J. M. McKay, P. S. Oglesby, M. G. Pace, J. K. Park and M. A. C. Reid. J.M.M.—Q.G.

C.C.F. NOTES We welcome Lieutenant R. J. Bullock to the Contingent to assist Captain Croft in Army Training. Captain Gaastra has been appointed Contingent Training Officer. As the school time table did not this year change to "winter hours" on Tuesdays, outside parades became impracticable from about half-term. All three sections, however, found it useful to concentrate on classroom instruction in the dark afternoons, so training did not suffer. An important innovation started in the R.A.F. Section with short "night exercises" on the Ings, planned by Flight Sergeant Smith, and conducted by R.A.F. N.C.O.s. Later, the Army Section had two such exercises arranged by Lieutenant Bulcock, one on the Ings and one on Strensall 19

Common. In connection with the latter, we would like to record the great help given by Captain M. G. A. Garbutt, The Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire, an Old Peterite, who provided transport and Regular Army assistance for this exercise, and who arranged other visits to Strensall during the term. The main Cadet appointments for the term were as follows : C.S.M. W. N. Marshall; P.O. R. L. Harrison, i/c R.N. Section; S.S.M. A. M. Bowie, i/c Army Section; F/Sgt. C. J. A. Smith, i/c R.A.F. Section; and L/Sgt. J. C. Platts, i/c Signals.

SENIOR SCOUT GROUP CHRISTMAS TERM, 1966 There was some doubt at the beginning of the term as to what to do during meetings; the old method of badge training is obsolescent while the ideas recommended by the Committee on the future of Scouting have not yet been officially introduced. It was decided, in the end, to take the more modern approach and so a Working Party was formed out of those who would have left before the new programme could be instituted and an Executive Committee was elected from among the remaining Senior Scouts. There is to be a stress on social service and with this in mind the group renovated and re-decorated Mr. Power's gym for under-privileged children, the job of selling Christmas cards for charity was taken over from Mr. Williams and there is to be the usual Scout Carol Singing, at Christmas, in aid of charity. Several First Aid lectures, also, were attended, again for the new Scout programme. There were also three evening meetings this term (apart from the lectures), the first taking place in the country and consisting of a navigation exercise at night and by compass only. The Working Party organised the second evening, an observation test, each test depending upon the use of one of the five senses. The last evening meeting took the form of an attack and defence exercise in several streets in York. W.R.C.

SCOUT GROUP All sections of the Group have been experimenting with the new training methods and topics introduced in the recent report on Scouting. The pending changes in uniform have made it difficult for us to arrange uniform meetings, but we intend to manage with what is available until the new uniforms come into use in the autumn of 1967. The older members of the Group formed a Working Party and served the Scout and Senior Scout Troops well, several of them assisting with regular meetings. The Party also painted much of the interior of the Scout Room, which now looks very colourful and cheerful. We congratulate P. J. Doyle on becoming a Queen's Scout and are glad that he continues to use his training in helping with the Scout Troop. We say farewell to P. R. S. Fairclough and thank him for all that he has done for the Group. 20

SENIOR SCOUT TROOP This section, soon to be known as the Venture Scout Troop, has spent much of the term on the service side of training. The activities have been arranged by an executive committee under the chairmanship of P. R. S. Fairclough, this committee taking the place of the old court of honour. Parties have assisted in the cleaning and painting of a room to be used as a gym by less fortunate children in York; another party arranged the sale of charity Christmas Cards in the School, and some of the Troop spent the first two evenings of the holidays singing carols and collecting for the York branch of the Lions. The second evening was spent in the Crayke area, where sacks of logs, collected and cut by members of the Troop, were distributed to elderly and needy people. At the same time training continued and we have had a series of pioneering and observation meetings. Halfway through the term the Troop started a first aid course, organised by members of the British Red Cross Association. This course will continue next term and the younger members of the Troop will take a preliminary certificate, whilst the older and more experienced members will be examined for the adult certificate. We are very grateful to those members of the Red Cross who are giving up their time to help us in this way. Preliminary arrangements were made for an Expedition to be held during the Easter holidays from Wednesday, 12th April to Wednesday, 19th April. This will be run on the same lines as previous expeditions, the Troop dividing into parties of four or six and planning their own routes within the general framework of the expedition. Each party will rendezvous at a given point daily and will be supplied with food for the following day. It is hoped that a large number of the Troop and of the Working Party will attend this expedition, which takes the place of the Scout summer camp.

SCOUT TROOP Although the new look in scouting does not officially start until next September we have tried to introduce some of the new ideas this term and only doing those parts of the old system which are included in the new organization. Several group projects have been started on various hobbies and it is hoped to have built a troop canoe before the Summer Term. With only five new scouts the troop is smaller than usual with 24 boys but this makes it easier to try out new programmes. We welcome Mr. Riley as a new A.S.M. and also P. J. Doyle and P. Blackford who are helping the Scout Troop.

RUGBY SCHOOL MATCHES 1st XV v. BRADFORD 15th October The School hardly found their feet and were outplayed forward most of the game in the loose. A high cross-wind inevitably meant a lot of kicks for touch—some of it very accurate on both sides. Bradford's first try showed speed and agility—penalty, short kick, scrum, quick heel and the School's dazed defence was ripped apart. But some fine attacking moves by the School, good tactical kicks from Zissler and breaks by Clegg opened up the game. It was not until the second half and the School were 16-0 down that from five yards Medlycott put Blackford through to score. v. TRENT COLLEGE Played away on Wednesday, 19th October. Won 19-0. A quarter of an hour passed with no constructive pattern developing, when suddenly the School settled down and for a short period of time played some good rugby. Clegg was always constructively sound in the centre and Donaldson's task, on the left wing, in scoring two tries was made comparatively easy by Clegg's astute timing of the pass, while Zissler, breaking wide from the scrum, executed a perfect dummy scissor movement, which sent Clegg over for a further try near the posts. A conversion and penalty by Ernsley completed the first half scoring with a lead of 14 points for the School. In the second half play once again relapsed into an untidy pattern and much profitless play was in evidence. Not until the closing minutes of the game did the School add to their lead with a further 5 points, when Trent heeled near their own line, only to knock on and provide Richardson with an easy touch-down. Team—Rawlings; Donaldson, Clegg, Benn, Groundwater; Richardson, Zissler; McGrath, Blackford, Carr, Morris, Summers, Doyle, Medlycott, Emsley (Captain). v. DENSTONE COLLEGE Lost 8-9. Saturday, 22nd October From the kick-off it was clear that our visitors had a fast back-division and, indeed, a rapid follow-up of an attempted drop goal produced a try near the corner flag. Then an orthodox movement gave the Denstone right winger a chance. This he took at speed. At half-time the score was 0-6 and had Denstone had a reliable place kicker the School would have been further behind. The second half saw a revival in the School's play, instead of wasting their chances they began to capitalise on them. Clegg cut through for a converted try and then Richardson dropped a goal to put the School ahead 8-6. Right on time, Denstone replied with a drop-goal to win a match spoiled by many unnecessary fouls, not all of them petty.

v. LEEDS G.S. Played away on Saturday, 5th November. Lost 3-8. With all due respect to our opponents, this undoubtedly was our most disappointing match. Occasioned by Zissler's injury, Emsley reverted to his original position at scrum-half and Shepherd came in as open-side wingforward. Such minor changes in the constitution of our team should in no way have disrupted our tactics or upset our confidence, but whatever the cause or reason, the fact remained that we played a thoroughly bad game. A stiff cold breeze certainly influenced the tactics of the game for both sides, and we failed to.make good use of this telling factor. It was essential with the wind at our backs in the first half that we established a commanding lead. This we failed to do for one reason or another. Kicks at goal veered left and right; blunder followed blunder; and the line-out work of which there was a superfluity, was a lost cause as far as we were concerned. At half-time we found ourselves trailing by 5 points to 3, after a penalty had been landed by Emsley, but it was a far cry from what was required. It was only in the final 5 or 10 minutes that our efforts really looked purposeful, but by this time Leeds had increased their lead with a successful penalty goal, and we were unable to salvage an undistinguished game. Team—Rawlings; Groundwater, Benn, Clegg, Donaldson; Richardson, Emsley (Captain); McGrath, Blackford, Carr, Morris, Summers, Doyle, Medlycott, Shepherd. The following report is printed by kind permission of The Times THRASHING FOR DURHAM St. Peter's, York, 39 pts., Durham 0. Wednesday, 9th November Attacking strongly during most of the first half and letting loose an avalanche of scoring in the later stages of the second, St. Peter's finally overwhelmed Durham to the tune of six goals, one dropped goal and two tries to nothing at York yesterday. Between these scoring surges Durham tried hard to get into the game and at one stage in the second half appeared to have contained the St. Peter's attacks and were mounting raids of their own. Rarely, however, did they really threaten the St. Peter's line, a state of affairs due to the crisp tackling and alert covering of a side as skilled in the art of stopping as producing tries. The key man of the York side was their scrum half Emsley who simply thrived on whatever possession came his way. His lightning darts from behind either scrum or line-out tore great holes in the Durham defence and he it was who made the running for most of St. Peter's tries. To prove his versatility he made six conversions. STRONG CENTRES St. Peter's had also strong centres in Clegg and Benn each of whom proved himself capable of exploiting any gap that came his way, and the full back, Rawlings, was always ready to turn defence into attack with his accurate long range touch finding.

In spite of the disparity of the final score the set scrums were fairly evenly shared but whereas Emsley was always quick to launch an attack or get the ball to his outsides, the slowness with which Durham used their gains was their undoing. Often the outside pass was so belated that the recipient met man and ball together. SPENT FORCE It was much the same story in the lineouts where the jumping of Locke gave Durham a slight edge but in the loose the St. Peter's forwards were well on top binding together to produce the collective drive that rocked their opponents on to their heels. The Durham pack fought back heroically in the second half, but towards the close they were a well spent force. A dropped goal from 25 yards by Clegg opened the St. Peter's account after only five minutes of play and although another quarter of an hour went by before the Durham line fell to tries by Clegg (two) and Groundwater, the first two converted by Emsley, put St. Peter's 16 points up at half time. After a spell in which exchanges were comparatively even, St. Peter's threatened to run riot against a side whose defence suddenly cracked when their best tackler, Nicholson, was seen to be limping. Benn (two), Clegg, Groundwater and Doyle all crossed the line, Emsley making four more conversions. St. Peter's York—D. M. Rawlings; I. S. Donaldson, C. W. Clegg, J. A. S. Berm, M. A. Groundwater; J. C. Richardson, D. J. Emsley; I. R. D. McGrath, P. R. H. Blackford, A. S. Carr, N. G. A. Morris, P. T. Summers, D. J. Doyle, P. M. Shepherd, A. S. Medlycott. Durham—A. Bernacca; J. D. Claxton, G. Clayton, M. G. Nicholson, R. Harrison, M. F. A. Ward, G. Guest; P. G. Purves, R. F. S. Gibb, M. J. Stead, W. Locke, C. K. R. MacDonald (captain), D. J. Bunch, H. G. Turnbull, I. W. Anderson. Referee—R. Klar (Yorkshire). v. GIGGLESWICK SCHOOL Played at home on Saturday, 12th November. Won 19-0. School 19 (2 goals, 2 tries, 1 penalty). Giggleswick 0. The School scored a fine team victory on a pitch made slippy and wet by rain. The opening exchanges were even, but it soon became apparent that the School was getting more possession from the scrums, despite Giggleswick's larger pack. However, the wet ball was difficult to handle and it was well into the first half before Berm forced his way through to touch down between the posts, Emsley converted. Just on half-time the School heeled quickly from a scrum and Donaldson dived over on the blind side, for an unconverted try. Giggleswick came more into the game in the second half but a 30-yard footrush by Emsley produced a try which he converted. Giggleswick continued to fight hard but had no answer to the strong, confident running of the School threequarters. The scoring was completed with a penalty by Emsley and an unconverted try by Clegg. 24

v. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE Lost 0-3 Saturday, 19th November This game was played on a very muddy and sticky pitch and it was immediately apparent that the Ampleforth pack, which was much heavier both individually and collectively than ours, would be the decisive factor. Play concentrated in the St. Peter's half with frequent touches and loose scrums. Ampleforth were getting almost unlimited possession from the loose, but good covering by the back row and especially Clegg and Benn had prevented a score by half-time. The second half followed a similar pattern until, following a good loose heel, Ampleforth scored far out. St. Peter's fought well but the difference in weight was too great and the backs had no opportunity to demonstrate their attacking skill. v. WORKSOP COLLEGE Played at Worksop on Wednesday, 30th November. Won 8-3. A young Worksop team did well to hold St. Peter's to 8-3. St. Peter's missing Clegg's generalship in the centre, played well as individuals but lacked the cohesion and tactical control of the Durham Giggleswick matches. Playing with a high wind in the first half, St. Peter's could manage only a try by Summers, who barged over from a nick, and one by Emsley (converted by him also), after a good break by Richardson. Fortunately, St. Peter's played far better against the gale in the second half. They contained Worksop in their own half largely through a monopoly of possession in the tight scrum where Blackford was at last given a timed shove by his tight forwards. Worksop scored an unconverted try from a tap penalty close to the line, while St. Peter's were in a state of sad disorganisation during Emsley's temporary retirement due to a numbed nerve in the leg. Several good breaks by Emsley came to nothing from lack of support, and, even worse, the subsequent heel was not forthcoming. Medlicott made a welcome return in his best destructive form. Dew once went close and Benn beat his man several times, but there was no further score. v. OLD PETERITES Played on Saturday, 10th December. Draw 6-6. In the absence of any wealth of talent amongst the Old Peterites (regrettably several well-intentioned players had to give last minute backword), it was confidently expected that any spectacle of good constructive rugby would come from a well organised School team. In the event this was far from the case, and quite the most purposeful rugger came from the Old Boys. The School line was in fact promptly and vigorously harassed, only to be rescued on frequent occasions by the intervention of the referee for breaches of the rules, prompted no doubt by excessive enthusiasm. The first try, a scrambled affair, was awarded to the Old Boys almost as if in sympathy for their stalwart efforts. Whereupon the School retaliated in convincing style by Donaldson scoring on the left-wing to level the scores at half-time. 25

The pattern in the second half was much as before and there was really little to enthuse about. Once again the Old Boys took the lead with a second try (little did they expect to get away with it!), which again stirred the School to action. The old familiar break by Emsley had not long to be waited- for. Clegg was up in support and the inevitable try resulted which finally levelled the score. A fine display at full-back by Fulbrook—surely a Senior League Team player when last seen besporting himself on the School grounds. All due credit then to Bill Thompson and his merry men for so successfully containing the School team. Our thanks to D. B. Stead (Yorkshire Society) for refereeing. OLD PETERITE XV E. D. Fulbrook; M.

RETROSPECT Last year's retrospect concluded with these very words—"Clearly the School's rugby has staged a most welcome revival and with greater enthusiasm and enjoyment on all sides. We look forward eagerly to the future". This revival has surely been taken a stage further and, if wins and losses on 1st team results were the only yardstick, this season has been within an ace of considerable success. The early weeks presented their inevitable problems. Firstly there was as always, the ever-present need, at all levels, for pre-season training (especially in view of the late start to our season). This was most creditably undertaken by more than a few with the skipper invariably present. No doubt they derived considerable benefit from it and avoided the risk of early season injury. Next, new theories and tactics, let alone jargon, as propounded by the Rugby Union authorities in their wisdom, had to be sifted and sorted by coaches and players alike. Too great an emphasis on these issues-1st phase, 2nd phase and the like—seemed to be the real danger at schoolboy level and, dare it be said, more were in the end disgorged than adopted. Then positioned changes for certain individuals had to be contrived, and none achieved more, where the need was greatest, than the switch of N.G.A. Morris from the three-quarter line to lock forward (2nd Row)—to this same player's great credit. Finally we were faced with the annual problem of matching ourselves so early in the season with such formidable opponents these days as Bradford G.S. With their present VIth form strength already 350, one wonders what these fixtures in the future will hold, when such seats of learning (Leeds G.S. alike) become solely and wholly VIth form establishments under the proposed new educational reforms. The 1st XV entered into the spirit of all this unsparingly. Considering so many doubts existed when the team was first selected, the XV settled surprisingly well and fortunately remained gloriously free of injuries, apart from the misfortune to Zissler. The pack in particular obviously

enjoyed, and derived much benefit from, Mr. Rigby's past experiences, and the side was blessed with two outstanding players in their captain and vice-captain. With such talent in the key positions of scrum-half and centre-threequarter, our successes depended largely upon the quantity and quality of possession so that these two players in particular could exploit their skills. With a pack averaging 11 st. 7 lb. (11 st. 13 lb. last season) this was easier said than done, but when the service was forthcoming the team's potential was considerable, as Durham for one found out to their cost. Another highlight of the season was the School's memorable encounter with Denstone College. To have lost this match by 1 point as a result of a successful drop-kick by our opponents in injury time was cruel fortune indeed, but we can gain considerable comfort from the knowledge that Denstone remained unbeaten throughout the season. Other matches which were lost by narrow margins included Ampleforth, by 3 points, and Leeds G.S. by 5 points. All in all, the tally of 4 matches won and 4 lost barely does the team full justice. Points "for"-99, points "against"-39, gives a better assessment of their worth. It was very much regretted that the weather prevented our match with Keil 'School, Dumbarton, from taking place, on the other hand we are happy to record that our fixture with York R.U.F.C. was re-established this year for the first time since 1956. In support of the 1st XV, the 2nd XV had an outstanding season, losing only one of their seven school matches. The 3rd XV broke even with their results, while the Senior Colts went a long way towards emulating their predecessors and gained a measure of success surpassing all expectations. Alone the two more Junior teams were always struggling against opponents who physically seemed to have such a great advantage over them. An outstanding feature of all the school's rugby this term has been some admirable tackling, often commented upon by our opponents. House Leagues and House matches complete the picture for the term. The House Leagues, both Senior and Junior, were inconclusive competitions owing to deteriorating ground conditions, whereas the House matches proved that Dronfield still had the measure of their opponents in the Senior division by winning for the third successive year, in fact ever since their inauguration. In the final analysis, however, this must be deemed D. J. Emsley's year. After 3 years as captain of the School 1st XV (that in itself must be a record), he has finally crowned his school rugger career by playing for the Yorkshire Schoolboys XV in the Christmas holiday matches v. Lancashire and Wales. In the face of severe competition he gained this distinction by his impeccable displayes at scrum-half in a series of searching trial matches Not since 1953, when A. N. Wyatt-Gunning captained the Yorkshire Schoolboys, have we had a representative from the School in this team. That was the last occasion when Yorkshire defeated Wales in Yorkshire. History repeated itself this year. The secret of David Emsley's success undoubtedly lies in his complete dedication to the game. Certainly size is not one of his attributes—from this many can take comfort. Our congratulations to him and good wishes for the future. Peterites who have played for Yorkshire Schoolboys v.

SHOOTING Shooting, this term, began with only fourteen of last year's Rifle Club still in the School and accordingly more time has been devoted to beginners than to team practices. Indeed, no clear-cut first VIII has emerged. However, by end of term we were able to undertake 2nd VIII matches and some more beginners are now starting to group satisfactorily. In the Staniforth Cup we made 765, a score only 3 less than in 1965, and the same as that of 1964, and that with a team containing four members under sixteen years of age. Our position was 25th out of nearly 150 entries. Other postal match results have been:

St. Peter's 757. St. Peter's 748. St. Peter's 761.

First VIII Monmouth 757. Pocklington 752. Merchiston Castle 768.

St. Peter's 765.

Other Shoot no score received.

St. Peter's 743.

Second VIII Merchison Castle 751.

St. Peter's 741.

Other Shoot no score received.

The Captain this year is D. S. Lockhart and Vice-Captain P. N. Kitching.

WALKING CLUB This is the first appearance of Walking Club notes for an Autumn Term, for the simple reason that only this year have we broken through the rugger tradition—and we have done it "con amore". The punishing season started with brambles at Brandsby, dry conditions at Warter, and sprained ankles and yet more brambles near Sutton Bank. We did not see the mad woman of Wharram Percy and rather too much of the River Wharfe was encountered near Sicklinghall. Everyone, grudgingly, admits that Wass Bank, Fangdale Beck, renowned for its cardboard crisps and Rosedale Abbey—Farndale were pleasant venues. An air of doubt hangs around the geological visit to Flamborough Head caravan sites. The final walk was a commemorative one at the expense of the retiring secretary, R. J. H. Skerrett. We must thank our pundit, Mr. Coulthard, whose witticisms punctuated our progress by the punnetfull, Mr. Riley and Mr. Craine for accompanying us and acting as patient drivers, in all senses of the words. The members this term were Les, Platts, McKay, Gray, Hodges, Wilks, Ferguson, Pace, Fairclough, Nix and Skerrett. R. J.H. S. 30

FENCING 1965/66 was once again a good season for school fencing and we would like to thank the captain, J. Pawson, for his leadership and for the honour which he won for St. Peter's in winning the Public School's championships. During the Summer Holidays Miller, Lockwood and Reaston had a fencing holiday in Ireland with Mr. Power. The improvement in their fencing was evident when they fought in the Irish Open Championships. They had to fight experienced Olympic fencers and showed a great deal of promise. C. A. Wood, went over for the competition and was placed 3rd, 5th and 6th in the foil, epee and sabre respectively. Last November C. A. Wood won the Under 20's Championships of the North of Ashton-under-Lyne. We would like to thank Mr. Power for making the Irish trip possible and for his part in organizing school fencing.

SQUASH This term, as usual, relatively little squash has been played, although four matches have taken place. After two very successful seasons and the loss of the first three strings, the team has not found success easy. Not that this is a weak team; their ability was amply shown in the 5-0 defeat of Hymer's College, the only School match of the term. As there has been rather a shortage of good juniors during the last three years, it is encouraging to see such a keen and talented group as we have this year. RESULTS: 1st VII v.

SAN FRANCISCO LETTER CAPTAIN JOHN R. MAXWELL—Flight-Surgeon, U.S. Army (Grove 1949-57). Captain Maxwell survived a year in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam without suffering any bodily injury other than an occasional contagious disease. During his tour of duty there he was awarded the Air Medal for meritous service whilst flying combat missions against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese. He returned to the United States in May 1966 to take up the post of Flight-Surgeon at the San Francisco Presidio, Headquarters of the U.S. 6th Army. He leaves the Army to take a four year training programme in Radiology at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. At present he is actively pursuing a programme dedicated to remaining in the happy state of Bachelordom. DR. JAMES J. F. KNAPTON—Scientist, U.S. Government. (Grove 1949-57). Dr. Knapton has remained in the employment of the United States Department of Agriculture's Research Service (being somewhat more fortunate, or cleverer, than Dr. Maxwell in maintaining his position as a civilian), as a scientist working in the Services' Wool and Mohair Laboratory In this capacity he has represented his division at a number of National Scientific Conventions over the last year, and this year will see him returning to England for a short period in April, to deliver a paper to the Annual Conference of the Textile Institute, the University of Nottingham. On his way he will also be speaking to the Annual Conference of the American Textile Research Institute in New York. In September he has been invited to represent the United States at the XII International Conference of Knitting Specialists in Basle, Switzerland. He also is pursuing a vigorous policy of remaining single, though he is coming around to the conclusion that he may not be able to hold out indefinitely. Sincerely Yours, Jim Knapton, John Maxwell.
