Old Peterite News

Chris Cork, poker-faced and wrapped in two sweaters on a warm day, again showed what a deceptively effective player he is. Kim Bowler's serve and volley game improved during the season and next year he should be a very good attacking player. At second pair Charles Kidd's steady play combined with Simon Astley to win several important matches. Andrew Penty and John Mitchell showed confidence and aggression when promoted to the first team and both have the temperament and determination to be successful next year.

The 2nd VI and U16 matches showed that we now have a depth of talent among the younger players. With schools' tennis standards rising rapidly it is important that these players work hard to improve their game. I am sure they will.

The tennis club is particularly grateful to two excellent club men: Tren Fisher for his secretarial work and reliability as a player and Stephen Foster as captain of the 2nd VI. K.S.C.

THE ROYAL LIFE-SAVING SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN

The Easter term saw a great step forward in school life-saving activities and the first Bronze Medallions and Bronze Crosses for a long time were successfully attempted by boys from The Manor and Temple.

The results were extremely encouraging and all the people who entered for the exams passed them. After the stunning Bronze Medallion results a few boys felt inspired to attack the Bronze Cross, which is the next stage up. I hope that we shall have a few Awards of Merit and possibly some Diplomas in the next few terms.

The "Yorkshire Evening Press" offers a trophy every year to the school who amasses the most points from life-saving tests taken over that year. With the Junior School's Water Safety, Advanced and Preliminary tests and our own Medallions and Crosses we should be well on the way to winning the trophy. But we still have two more terms in which to get many more points from tougher exams. It is hoped to set up an Inter-House life-saving contest with a cup. This will be sponsored by the Royal Life-Saving Society.

The only qualifications needed to be a Life-Saver are an ability to swim long distances fairly fast and probably towing a body or person and also to think quickly in an emergency situation. If anyone should be thinking of wanting to take an exam they should see N. J. Williams (Temple) or J. A. G. Craven (The Manor). J.A.G.C.

FENCING

Team spirit, a thing unusual in this highly individual sport, has been the dominant factor in the School Fencing Club's success this year. More than ever before the various teams have been a rich blend of enthusiasm and talent rather than merely held together by one or two outstanding fencers.

The first team has had an excellent season. The team has been basically unchanged from the beginning of the year until the end and its unity has been its outstanding quality. Whenever one of the team was having an off-day, the other two always managed to rally round and hence not a single defeat can be recorded against their name. Trinity College, Dublin, despite sending over a stronger team, failed to repeat last year's win. They were beaten narrowly but nevertheless soundly. In the annual match with the Y.F.A. the team fought back from 6-3 down to draw 6-6. The resilience of a very tough Army team, which included a member of the Army's first team, was magnificently broken down for what was probably the best win of the year. M. J. S. Muncer and R. G. de H. Oldham have both fenced very well throughout the season and have formed a team with a great fighting spirit and much flair as well.

The second team has had a mixed season but has displayed considerable talent.

One of the highlights of the team came in February when Muncer and Williams were filmed on video-tape fencing at the York University television studios. The re-run of the film was very instructive and helpful. We hope to extend this facility to others in the fencing club in the near future. With a recent television series on fencing, such methods are obviously on the way in.

The main training for the "Public Schools" this year has been through competitions outside and within the School.

At the end of the Easter term the inter-house competition was held. The format of this competition was changed drastically from the outdated foil team knock-out to an adventurous points aggregate based on individual competitions. The Dr. Slade cup and foil formed the foil section. The Dr. Slade junior foil was won by Benson, who was by far the most experienced fencer in the final. The senior cup was won by Williams, and the Inter-House Cup was won by Temple.

And so to the Public Schools Championships They were held again this year at Dulwich College at the beginning of April. Fourteen boys from St. Peter's participated, including three Junior School fencers. We stayed at the Crystal Palace sports centre where we were able to enjoy the many facilities there. In the junior foil two of the Junior School fencers reached the second round and Haze11 fought very well to reach the quarter-finals. In the senior foil Williams fought through to the semi-finals, where he missed the final by one victory. It was disappointingly the first time in five years that St. Peter's has not had a foil finalist but it was to be expected because only one of the team had had previous experience in the senior competition. In the epee we had two quarter-finalists, Muncer and Hazell, who both fought very capably with their differing styles and were unlucky not to reach the semi-finals. There was a poor result in the sabre. No-one reached the quarterafinals but it was delightful to see A. W. Tait, of J.4, in St. Olave's, fighting his way to the second round and acquitting himself admirably. He is still only eleven and holds great hopes for the future. Indeed, this was the impression given by all our juniors, who had a very good competition. We were unlucky not to match this by greater success at senior level.

The Yorkshire senior championships were also held during the Easter holidays. Muncer was in good form and reached the semi-finals. This was a very good performance against the best fencers in Yorkshire. 60

The summer term proved a climax to our efforts throughout the year. At the beginning of May Williams went to London for the finals of the National Novices. He found the competition very strong but got to the semi-finals before being eliminated. A fortnight later Muncer reached the quarter-finals of the Hotspur international competition at Whitley Bay. He then came second in a non-international competition, just failing to win by one victory.

Six School fencers represented York in a youth match against Huddersfield in June. The 'A' team won 11-5, with Muncer and Williams contributing six wins between them. The School provided the complete second team which drew 8-8. This was an excellent result as Huddersfield are considered to 'be the best youth team in the West Riding.

Our greatest success came on 6th/7th June when St. Peter's staged the Yorkshire schoolboys epee and sabre. The first four places in each event secured a place in the National Schoolboys finals later in the year and the School gained nine of the sixteen possible qualifying places, winning every event. This was a magnificent performance by the whole School team and came as a fitting reward for a year of near-misses. In the epee the senior was won by Muncer after a barrage with A. Corser. Oldham was third, Prendergast fourth and Hodgson sixth. In the junior Hazell won convincingly with Woodcock fourth and Benson sixth. Williams won the senior sabre without conceding a defeat, Muncer was fourth and Oldham sixth. Woodcock won the very stiff junior sabre after a barrage for first place. Atkinson was the only other Peterite in this final and was sixth. For his success, Woodcock was awarded the Peter Wood sabre, a new trophy for achievement in the schoolboys sabre championships.

During the term Hazell and Benson were both awarded colours for the great progress that they have made this year.

This has been a very enjoyable and successful year. The standard of fencing has advanced immeasurably and, with no fencers leaving School until December, the prospects for the future are bright indeed. We are all grateful to Mr. Power for the patient coaching he has given us over the year and for all the competition we have had from the many fencers in York. Finally we all hope that the club's success will continue next year and bring new and greater honours to the School. ANALYSIS:
