successive year and we must also congratulate him on attaining an Open Exhibition to St. John's College, Cambridge. Unfortunately the term has not yet been very successful as regards sport, the House finishing fourth and sixth in the Senior and Junior CrossCountry events. Congratulations, however, to Young R. T. S. on finishing third in the Junior event. In the Squash Competition the House Team were beaten 3-1 by Dronfield in the first round. On the whole the Athletics standards were disappointing but they did bring out the best in a lot of boys who normally show little interest in sport. As over the past few years we had an excellent Team to represent us on Sports Day but their chances of success were considerably lessened by our poor position in the standards. It is unfortunate that the commendable efforts of most of the House should be cancelled out by the lack of effort from a minority. It is significant to note here that on the day of the Sports Queen's gained only two less points than Dronfield, the winners and more points than any other House. In the Senior events Marson was outstanding and after coming second in the 220 yds. he Won the High Jump and the Gofton Cup for the 440 yds. Collinson must also be congratulated on winning the Intermediate 100 yds., 220 yds. and 440 yds. We were well represented in the School Hockey Teams and congratulations to Gration on the award of his colours and Dickinson, the captain, on the award of his cap. Off the sports 'field the highlight of the term for Queen's was the presentation by the Queen's players of "Master of Arts" by William Douglas Home. This proved to be highly successful and was enjoyed greatly by many parents and members of staff. The success of "Master of Arts" was not however based entirely on appreciation from in front of the stage but mainly on the enjoyment which it gave to all those boys who were concerned with the production. A new, but entirely successful, venture undertaken by Queen's this term was the staging of the chapel services for one week. The services were created and executed by a cross-section of the House and were very much appreciated by the congregation. C.A.W.
THE RISE It was in January, 1918, that the Rise was opened for the first time, and this, our fiftieth anniversary term, has been one of varied success and enjoyment. Our birthday present, which was much appreciated by everyone in the House, was the award of an extra exeat. At the beginning of term, S. Mackinder was succeeded as Head of the House by I. M. MacLeod: C. R. Jones, G. Thompson and G. W. Harding were appointed House Monitors, while C. H. Noble, M. R. Stokes, R. St. G. Houghton and J. L. Linsley became Supervising Seniors during the term. At the end of term, we had an extra cup to grace our shelf—concrete evidence of the considerable efforts which were made in the direction of Athletics, in which the House finished fourth, and Cross-Country—A.
