HOUSE NOTES
DRONFIELD HOUSE
This terms achievements were wide and varied ranging from music to rowing.
In the cricket competition, the House, ably led by D. J. Moss, reached the final, but were beaten by the formidable Grove side.
We were very successful in both sections of the music competition In the Baird Cup, we had an easy win, thanks to T. M. Day's high quality
rendering the Blues on two guitars We were second in the House singing, narrowly beaten by lack of professionalism
After an easy win in the first round, the tennis team was halted by the Grove yet again The House was not able to use all of its swimming talent, owing to the 1st VIII being at Henley But those swimmers left did manage to secure a fourth place.
Our final achievement came on the last full day of term. The House VIII, who had never rowed as a crew before, easily beat Queen's in the semifinal; and again meeting the Grove in a rain-soaked final won a decisive victory.
We say goodbye this term to six of our monitors, two seniors and two senior-middles, particularly to our transatlantic friend, L. H. McKeon, whom we hope has enjoyed his short stay with us. We wish him and the other leavers great prosperity in their new fields.
H. E. D. Little was awarded his House Colours for services to the House.
Mr. Pullin is also leaving us this term, and we thank him for his constant joviality and advice which he has given to many of us. C. J. McFee
A personal tribute to McFee should be added here. He has run the House with quiet authority and has been ably supported by a fine team of monitors. We thank them for all they have done for the House.

SCHOOL HOUSE
At the beginning of term we welcomed back Mr. Craine after his absence from School for the second half of last term through illness. Little of any moment happened at the beginning of term; the first notable occasion as far as the House was concerned was 22nd May when Baby and Howat were the soloists in Britten's canticle II—"Abraham and Isaac", performed in the Minster (preceding the School's performance of Britten's "St. Nicolas").
Another notable musical success of the House was in winning the Cape Cup at the music competition. (We gained the highest of any mark awarded in the whole evening for our version of "the Arethusa".) In the instrumental section of the competition we came second, thus making the considerable amount of time spent in preparation, well worthwhile.
On 22nd June a small party of singers went to Ripon to sing a special service with other selected choirsters in the Cathedral there. The event was organised by the Royal School of Church Music. Of the seven people who went, six were from School House, thus showing that the tradition of musicality in the House is continuing.
As a "relaxation" from after-examination tensions a party from the House went on the Lyke Wake Walk. The expedition was, in fact, purely an internal affair organised by Doyle and Argyle, and Mr. Craine laid on meals at midnight and early morning and Wise helped with transport.
In the field of sport the House has been notably successful with swim- 24
ming this term, winning both the swimming sports and the standards— again maintaining a tradition in the House: (the swimming cup has been won by the House five times in six years). This is not surprising since we have seven School swimming team members in the House.
As well as this there have been several individual successes in the House: Davies has won both the German Prize and the Lumley-Dodsworth Prize; Lawrence succeeded in having a poem of his broadcast by the B.B.C.; Atkinson, C. J. gained a scholarship and Jervis, Town and Davies won their 1s• VIII colours.
Further successes (or otherwise) are now in the hands of the examiners of the Oxford and Cambridge Board !

MANOR HOUSE
After last term's rather poor showing there was a marked improvement in the performance of the House this term. The Junior House cricket team led by Midgely, ably assisted by H. Houseman, played consistently well to carry off the cup defeating the Grove in the final. The degree of their superiority was shown by the fact that Grove, at one stage, had a score of 13 runs for 9 wickets. The Senior cricket team, however, in a bid to win the Yeoman's Cup for a high scoring rate, gave away some easy wickets and were rather unlucky to lose to Dronfield by one run in the semi-final Fisher, Watson and Cawood should be congratulated for their good performances in the 1st XI throughout the term, as must P. Holmes, whose occasional performances in the team by no means disgraced the side. Stewart led the House tennis VI to the final, where the Grove, who included three members of the School's first two pairs along with Richardson, defeated us, although not quite as decisively as they had hoped. The House swimming team, led from the front by Morris were unlucky to come second to School House, all the deciding races being won by a touch. The Junior House chess team have finally won their inter-house competition. House boating was non-existent in the Manor this year through the shortage of numbers, although B. D. Pugh must be congratulated for his performance in the 1st VIII at Henley. L. M. Creer won the Green Howard trophy for open range shooting, and the House now holds all the shooting cups.
Academically the House has also been successful, especially in the lower half, form prizes being won by Clark, Foster, Williams and Bell, while Les won the fourth form essay prize, Foster won the Junior part of the Dean of York's Latin Prize and J. R. Wilson won the Yorkshire Agricultural Society award for his effort in the field of Biology.
Mr. Wise is to be married shortly. His presence in the House, and especially that of his television in the football season, will be sadly missed, but we wish him and his future wife all best wishes for the future.
Altogether, then, it has been a successful term with achievements both academic and sporting, and we can look back on it with satisfaction. We thank all leavers for their contribution to this success and wish them well in the future.
THE GROVE
Once more we can report a successful term and the retention of the Oxford Cup for the fourth time in the last five years.
The Senior Cricket Cup and the Yeoman Cup were retained when Dronfield were comfortably accounted for in the final. However, in the semi-final, Queens provided worthy opposition restricting us to 88 in the allotted overs and at one stage being 84 for 3 in reply before succumbing to rash instincts. Highlighted in the match were several sensational runouts and an illustrious member of the side missing the wicket from two yards at a particularly tense moment. The Junior team, well led by Pollard, deserve mention for their fine performance in reaching the final of the junior competition, accounting for the favourites, Queens, in the semifinal, before losing to Manor. The accurate bowling of Shackleton S. and Johnson C. D. was largely responsible for this success.
The tennis team including three members of the School 1st VI, Jenkins, Bennett and Hoad, had no difficulty in retaining the cup and the swimmers, with C. J. Brown outstanding, performed with great spirit and were unfortunate to be pipped for second place by Manor on the last relay.
On the less official plane of the House soccer league, the House proved all-conquering and were on the point of winning the whole competition when it was mysteriously abandoned six weeks before the end of term.
The Grove entries for the Inter-House singing competition, in which every House sang a part-song and the "Arethusa", although unsuccessful, must have been greatly appreciated by the small, but select audience. In the unison song despite the Tiller Girl act of the back row we were unable to hide our lack of real talent. Scott and Yule must be commended upon their efforts in the part-song and in their attempts to extract some semb!ance of harmony from the House.
Slight consternation was apparent among inmates of the Senior dormitory late in the term when it was discovered that the bottom half of the dormitory windows could not be raised more than four inches. It was discovered that the source of trouble was blocks of wood screwed in the framework of the windows. Mr. Harding later revealed this was in order to "foil feline intruders".
The House was well represented in the cast of the St. Peter's contribution to the Minster Plays. Bleach, in a bloody portrayal of Prince Rupert, Stansfield R. as the Lord Mayor of York and Brown D. as the military governor, all showed commendable enthusiasm and several Junior members of the House played their part as troops.
We would like to thank Mr. Emsley for the donation of the Head of House board, which is now situated on the wall in the hall
The Grove has now come to the end of an important era, in its history with the retirement of Mr. Harding. There is no need to repeat here what has been and will be said about the benefits boys have derived from Mr. Harding, and the gratitude of past and present members of the House can be seen by the leaving present of an engraved silver salver and silver candelabra. These gifts were presented at a most enjoyable party given for the House by Mr. and Mrs. Harding who, we hope, will enjoy a quieter existence at Bulmer.
We wish well to all those who are leaving and thank them for their various contributions to the House, and hope Mr. Nixon has a long and happy stay in the Grove.
THE RISE
At the end of last term we were left with neither Assistant House Master nor Head of House. Mr. Nixon had decided to concentrate on the Grove and we wish him well there. Mr. Dixon and Mr. Riley took over
for one term and P. J. Shannon became Head of House. Later in the term
M. R. Stokes, C. H. Noble and J. Linsley were appointed house monitors.
The only success on the sports fields was the winning of the Burton Cup for House Leagues by a joint team with Temple. Although there was no lack of effort on the field in other sports the teams were unpracticed.
For the Baird Cup, the Rise produced a somewhat unconventional selection of pieces but these were well handled and most entertaining. It was a great pity they did not get through into the final and indeed it surprised many of the audience. In the Singing Competition we met with
a similar lack of success.
Towards the end of term a 50th Anniversary House Concert was staged and thrown open to the rest Of the School. Although patchy, this was
most successful, the highlight being when a selection of masters sang and acted their way through "The Mulligan Musketeers", receiving an encore. P.J.S.
TEMPLE
With Mr. Croft back at the helm, the House settled for a calm voyage
through the term. This calmness could partly be explained by the quantity of academic work done. However, House activities did not particularly suffer.
Preparation for both the major sporting events attracted some corporate
practice from members of the house. The Boating VIII, unable to row as a complete crew until the day, rowed a close finish only to lose by three feet to Queen's. The cricket team with relatively few School team players did unexpectedly well against Queen's. A good game was played but the
opponents managed to win by only four runs.
The senior cricket leagues were won by a combined Rise and Temple team. The swimming again brought two wins in the diving, which gave the House sixth place. The final position was due perhaps to individuals' talents not being exploited.
Musically the House was unable to demonstrate its capabilities. Practice for the singing competition was frustrated by the non-availability of many members of the House at times of practice. The smaller number of singers required for the part song allowed more preparation, to yield a better finish. The Baird Cup was again beyond our reach, as we were unable to produce a large ensemble of instruments.
The junior chess team, lucky to get to the final, lost 3-1 to the Manor.
If the House, this term, did not suceed corporately, individual members
attained some measure of success. P. L. Hall and J. Robinson again won
matches in various squash tournaments over the holidays. The C.C.F.
Fernie Cup was awarded to a member of the House, and D. M. L. Jackson achieved the Gold Award of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.
P.T.S.
QUEEN'S
Within the first two weeks of term the House underwent two experimental changes in structure. The first was the aquisition of Room "N" which has helped to relieve the terrible congestion of working areas in the House. This led to the innovation of a two-tier monitorial system. The three second year house monitors moved upstairs into Room N and six new monitors moved into the house monitors study. They were Gilbert, Gration, Hodgson A. W., Kirk, Marson and Staines. This system was not quite so successful as we had hoped, but because the appointments were made so late in the School year extra difficulties were naturally encountered.
In the Senior House Cricket the House produced some of the most exciting cricket seen at School for some years, both our matches being decided in the last few minutes. In the first of these we beat Temple by a few runs whilst in the second the result was reversed and Queen's lost to the Grove by three runs. In the Junior Competition we beat Temple convincingly in the first round, scoring 214 for six (Hepworth 65, Jones 61). Surprisingly, however, we were beaten by the Grove in the semifinals.
The House Boating was unfortunately upset by both the Henley trip and the damage to the two clinker fours. Having had little practise as a crew Queens rowed well to beat Temple in the first round and lost only narrowly to Dronfield, the eventual winners. This was a fine effort, due mainly to the good captaincy of M. K. Bowen.
Once again Queen's swept the board in the Fencing Competition, hardly losing a point throughout. Wood C. A. won the Senior foil competition.
As expected we had very little success in the swimming competitions, but under the captaincy of A. C. Marson it is hoped that the standard will improve for future years.
In the Music Competition Queen's produced a very high standard in both instrumental and singing sections, the singers reaching the final three. Mention must be made of the hard work put in by J. E. Staines and the Rev. Kemp-Welch who assisted the House.
The prospects for the year 1968-69 should be quite bright for Queen's in sport where in many of the activities strong teams will be built around outstanding individuals. With regard to other House activities and the spirit of the House in general, there should be seen some considerable improvement in the next few terms, but to achieve this for certain, more Senior members of the House must learn to accept the responsibilities with which • they will be endowed and become more constructive members of the House.
Finally, we wish the leavers all the best in the future and thank them for all they have done for Queen's.
