top we were immersed in low cloud (has anyone ever actually seen the top of Bow Fell?) and battered by a strong wind, or gale?, the distinction is purely academic. After another intake of food we descended to the Three Tarns, bathed in sunshine and then completed the day with a gentle canter along Crinkle Crags to Pike o' Blisco and back to the bus at the Dungeon Ghyll. So ended a year of numerous varied outings offering a real chance to get out and about. It is hoped that more boys will take advantage of these next year, and to those who can't make up their minds, there's only one way to see what it's like—come along next term! G.P. D.H.H.
RADIO 5 Easter term A week after the beginning of the term a regular scheduled broadcast was already under way. Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings were devoted to music programmes of various kinds with Pete Wood, Robert Flint, Barry Avison and myself having regular programmes, with at least one other D.J. being featured each week. Saturday was devoted to Project 1, a series of literary programmes devised by Tony Lawrence. There were also one or two special programmes, the most notable being a specially adapted play which was performed by "The Rise House Players" under the direction of Charles Steadman. Summer term As most people were involved in exams and outdoor activities this term, the Board felt it necessary to have no regular broadcasts, but instead to concentrate on special programmes when people had the time to produce them. Tim Elsworth did a short series of excellent blues programmes early on in the term; and just before the General Election the two Parliamentary Candidates for York were asked about their policies and opinions by a special team of interviewers. The two candidates, Bryan Askew (Conservative) and Alex Lyon (Labour) were extremely good interviewees and thanks to Nick Blitz, Ian Gill and Michael Stephenson, two very interesting interviews resulted. A history of the School in sound was started late on in the term, and the L.P. should be released during the next School year. Side 1 will be a potted history of the School from its foundation to the present day, and side 2 will be about the School as it is today. When you read this there will be a new Board of Directors (with Mr. Anderson and Mr. Oxley still in charge) and regular broadcasts should be under way. I hope you will listen if you can, as Radio 5 depends on your support and participation, especially participation. It is not very difficult to do a 30 minute show (on any subject, not necessarily music). 32
