EDITORIAL If the trend of some educational thinking should prevail, the rat-race will soon be over, and nearly everyone will have lost. In its place will be the caucus-race, which has a great attraction in that you can join it when you like and stop when you like; but, as the apathetic and idle Dodo announced in the Wonderland caucus-race, when it is over, "everybody has won, and all must have prizes". And poor Alice, like the welfare state, was expected to find exactly equal prizes for all the wretched participants. Could it be that the gentle Oxford mathematician was more discerning than Plato or More or Orwell in penetrating the social problem of the equal society?

A society in which all are equal seems to be a right ideal, but, like Utopia, it would be deadly dull; and if everybody is to get a prize then prizes will cease to matter and individuality will be submerged, as we were warned at last summer's Speech Day by the Provost of The Queen's College, Oxford.

The idea of prizes for all is tempting, and seemingly the ultimate in social justice. Some might see this being achieved through a fully

comprehensive system of education; but there is a danger that comprehensive education, ideally designed to ensure the 1944 aim of suiting the "age, aptitude and ability" of all at school, could be seen as a means of preventing ability from being rewarded or even developed.

Already a new problem is being argued by the experts: "What can be done for gifted children?" There is a National Association for Gifted Children, but it seems that so far research has not been able to determine the likely number of such children; and planning for them must apparently wait on this research, as a common sense answer to the problem would not be contemplated.

On the other hand, the claim of the great mass of the less gifted produces such schemes as continuous assessments, which could become far more misleading than the examinations that some would like to see them replace; and if examinations should come to be based on the recent proposals for "A" levels, there would be so many grades as to blur comfortably both failure and excellence. At the same time, the growing popularity of multiple choice examination questions would suit the mind trained on football pools and bingo. And if the paying of fees is thought to give an educational advantage, can parents be allowed to save for

educational books or holidays, or would this be unfair?

In any case, "all must have prizes" presents a contradiction in terms.

A prize means a mark of distinction, and if the trend to equality means sweeping away distinction then prizes must go too. But there must still come times when choices will have to be made between two or more people for one job, and when creative ability must be allowed to show itself and to receive its due reward. In short, there will always be some "more equal than others" unless the computer takes over from the thinker, and the machine from the craftsman as well as from the unskilled worker, with the result that man will become the commonest and most prolific form of vegetation, blissfully untroubled by inspiration or., ambition, by frustration or by failure.

Here without shame we seek to encourage excellence; prizes are competed for, not in the spirit of the rat-race but because we still like to give generous applause for achievement and for prowess. In the same spirit we are beginning, in this magazine, to publish original creative work of high standard, so that the individual may have the chance to share his ability with us all, and that we may take pride in the creative work of our community.

SCHOOL NOTES We welcome five new masters. Mr. M. Dawson, from St. John's College, York, has taken charge of the Workshop; Mr. D. R. Du Croz, B.A., from Trinity College, Cambridge, is teaching History; Mr. S. G I'Anson, B.Sc., from the University of Sussex, is teaching Mathematics; Mr. A. J. Leng, B.A., from Durham, teaches French; and Mr. T. Tiffany, from St. Luke's College, Exeter, is in charge of Swimming and taking P.E. We hope they will all enjoy their time at St. Peter's.

In the Sanatorium Miss P. Ellis, S.R.N., R.C.N., has become Sister-in-charge, and we wish her success and enjoyment. *

Congratulations to J. C. W. Williams on the Award of a Hastings Exhibition in Classics at The Queen's College, Oxford, and to the following on gaining places as shown: A. P. R. Dean, Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, (Natural Science); S. Foster, Wadham College, Oxford, (Physics); J. D. Harrison, St. Peter's College, Oxford, (Geology); G. Hodgson, Emmanuel College, Cambridge, (Law). * * * We would like to share the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. Coulthard as we congratulate their daughter, Alison, on the award of the Nuffield Scholarship for Science at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, after only four terms in the Sixth Form of Queen Anne Grammar School.

The Athletic Sports were held on October 3rd, some events taking place a few days earlier. In this first Athletics season in the Autumn instead of the Easter Term, E. R. Walker established new School records in the Mile, the Half-Mile and the Quarter-Mile; a notable achievement by any standard, and perhaps historic as we move into decimalisation.

Queen's won the Athletics Shield, and Dronfield the Standards cup. * * * An Army Engineering exhibition was given on September 30th. * * * On October 7th Professor C. A. W. Manning, of the South African Society, gave a lecture on South Africa. * * * A Conference for Head Masters of Preparatory Schools was held on October 10th and 11th.

In the House Music Competition on October 22nd, Temple won the singing, and Queen's the instrumental section. * * * On October 24th there was a coffee party for parents of IVth Form boys to meet the masters; after this the School dispersed for the half term holiday until 1st November. * * * The Secretary of the Public Schools Appointments Bureau made his main visit on 3rd November, but because of the large number of boys wishing to see him, he came again at the end of term. * * * Brother Andrew Paul, from Florida, a member of the Order of St. Francis at Alnmouth, visited the School from 17th to 21st November. * * * "The Crucible", by Arthur Miller, was produced by Queen Anne Grammar School, with many St. Peter's boys helping both on the stage and behind the scenes, on November 19th, 20th and 21st. A review of the play will be found in this issue. * * On 26th November a Literary Brains Trust, arranged by W. H. Smith & Son was held in the Memorial Hall. Members of the School asked the questions, and boys and girls from other schools came as guests. The Chairman was David Holloway, Literary Editor of the Daily Telegraph.

The panel was formed by: Kenneth Young, political and literary adviser to Beaverbrook Newspapers, former Editor of the Yorkshire Post, and a noted biographer; Laurence Meynell, whose books include novels and books for children; Arthur Wise, the York author; and Geoffrey Cotterell, who has nine publications. The questions were good and the answers generally full; certainly none came away from the meeting with any illusion that writing is an easy profession.

3

The School Play, "Peer Gynt" was performed on December 3rd, 4t1 and 5th. A review will be found in this issue. This time Queen Ann Grammar School girls came to take part in our play, and no doubt thi happy partnership will continue. *

*

*

The last event of the Term was the Carol Service on December 13th All found this to be a splendid and moving act of worship. * * * The Cinema Club has suffered from the unreasonable behaviour of a few spoiling the enjoyment of the rest; it became necessary to regulate the seating and attendance at the popular Sunday evening films, but it is hoped that regulations can be relaxed when members of the Club, which means in effect almost every boarder, treat the occasion in a proper way and leave the Hall scrupulously tidy. *

As York enters its nineteen-hundredth anniversary year, we note that some with direct connections with the School have already become involved in the occasion. The special York plate produced by Wedgwood has on it an inscription composed by Mr. P. G. Croft: "Quae Eboraci acta sunt, ea quoque in Britannia". Among contributors to a new book on York, about to be published by the Herald Printers, are the Very Revd. the Dean of York, Dr. Alan Richardson (Chairman of the Governors), the Chancellor, Canon R. Cant (Governor), Mr. J. Dronfield and Mr. D. G. Cummin. The book, which is being produced under the control of Mr. W. Smith (a School Governor), will be about a thousand pages, and extensively illustrated, with many colour plates. * * * A concert will be performed in Chapel on February 13th, at 7.0 p.m. to inaugurate the Choir Stalls built as a memorial to the late Kenneth Rhodes. The Stalls will be dedicated during Commemoration. *

*

*

The Easter Term will end on Sunday, March 21st. *

*

*

We congratulate Alderman R. Scruton, J.P., the Leader of York City Council, on being chosen to be Lord Mayor for the Civic Year 1971-72. *

CAFETERIA SYSTEM The introduction of the cafeteria system this term, after a few initial difficulties, has been very successful from many points of view. Entry is through the small dining hall into the kitchen where all the food and 1 equipment is collected at the same time. Breakfast usually takes 10 minutes, as does supper, but lunch requires 15 minutes. Used equipment and waste food are disposed of in special containers near the exit to the monkey cage. More use can be made of the lunch period into which Choir practices, music lessons etc. can now be fitted. The general behaviour has improved greatly and the absence of formal lining up 4

outside the dining hall has produced a marked reduction in the use of pink paper. When the system was familiar to staff and boys a choice of meal was introduced, first at breakfast, then at lunch. This has been very popular but meant extra work for the kitchen staff. However, this is compensated for by the absence of table laying and clearing up after meals.

G.D.C.

MR. R. HAWKINS During the past twenty-five years there can have been few figures more familiar about the School than Mr. Hawkins, the Clerk of Works, who retired from full time work on January 30th, although we still hope to have his advice from time to time.

Mr. Hawkins came to St. Peter's in 1944, a highly qualified joiner by trade, having added to his technical skill by many years' teaching in evening classes. His first task was to deal with problems left over by the bombing in 1942, and he recalls vividly that his first contact with St. Peter's boys was in a study in The Rise where he went to put right the black-out. Indeed, we could regard it as symbolic of the progress of the School over the last quarter of a century that the man who came to black out the buildings should have played so vital a part in bringing light into them by supervising the improvement of old ones and the construction of new.

The essence of the calm approach to any problem, Mr. Hawkins recalls that his first difficult job was helping the Revd. P. Fawcett in the construction of the stage for a school play, in the days when there was only a small platform as the basis of a stage; those who saw Mr. Hawkins later doing this as a matter of course appreciated how quickly he grasped any new requirement.

And what a range of new requirements there was to be! From a relatively simple alteration to a complete new boarding house; from a row of shelves to a Memorial Hall. Let us not pretend that we are attributing all this to one man. Mr. Hawkins insists that his part has largely been that of seeking and finding co-operation; co-operation with the many contractors and their staffs who came to do various jobs, and who were always ready to accept his general guidance; but above all, he has valued the co-operation of Jack Coates, who has been here only two years less than Mr. Hawkins himself, and latterly of Frank Maddison.

It is with a sense of deep satisfaction, mingled of course with sadness, that Mr. Hawkins has completed his full time work here with the building of the Chapel Stalls as a memorial to the late Kenneth Rhodes, a man for whom he had a great regard, and whose unique knowledge of the School, and warm readiness to help were always there for Mr. Hawkins to rely on.

To Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins we offer our respectful good wishes, and to their sons, Kenneth, now a Methodist Minister in Chester, and Raymond, who was a boy in The Rise and is now an architect in Northallerton. We shall remember the man with an idea about every problem of the fabric, fittings or furniture of the School, whether it came within the scope of his trade or not; the man for whom the very difficult would take a day or two, the impossible a little longer.

5

A life member of Clifton Cycling Club, Mr. Hawkins continues to take a close interest in the fortunes of the Club as a Vice-President, and it is appropriate that we should mention his long association with cycling, for we shall remember the man cycling home at the end of each working day, and of none would it be truer to say of all those many days, "Something attempted, something done, Has earned a night's repose."

CHAPEL NOTES It is a happy thing that the voluntary Family Communion Services have been so well supported. The considerable number of parents helps us to get away from a feeling of being a self-centred community of worship, the service itself emphasizes the central importance of the Lord's Supper and provides a control to Evensong and the Special Services o other Sundays.

Once again the Young Farmers' Club was responsible for Harvest Thanksgiving Service. On Remembrance Sunday St. Peter's and St. Olave's each had their own special service. The Middle School were lucky enough to have an enthralling down-to-earth talk on caring for deaf children from Sister Barbara of the Roman Catholic Sisterhood of St. Vincent de Paul. The Reverend James Bogle, the Anglican Chaplain of York University, conducted a special service for the Sixth Form in the Memorial Hall on the theme of Reconciliation. He illustrated his subject with slides of the work of rebuilding in Dresden and Coventry undertaken by mixed teams of young people from Great Britain and Germany.

The term ended with the Carol Service on the last Sunday morning and some wholehearted singing from the congregation.

May I add a personal word of warm thanks to Mr. Ellery and our admirable Chapel Monitor, Steven Foster, and those other staff and boys who helped to share an extra burden in the first half of Term owing to my unavoidable absence? And thank Mrs. Le Tocq for arranging for people to see to the Chapel Flowers?

Our thanks are also due to Mr. W. B. Cook, Head Master of Durham School and Canon David Galliford, who very kindly came to preach to us.

DRAMA THE CRUCIBLE

—

by Arthur Miller

The play was given on November 19th, 20th and 21st at Queen Anne Grammar School, with a mixed cast of Queen Anne girls and St. Peter's boys.

The play and the cast were well chosen and the production had great vitality. Those falsely accused of witchcraft were passionate in their innocence and trust in God; equally convincing was the commitment to Satan of Abigail (Deborah Hawley) and her cover: the hysteria she generated and projected during the trial scene was a tour de force. As Tituba, Julia Wise, with rolling eye and darkened visage, was sly and dangerous.

Stephen Parker as John Proctor avoided the trap of portraying injured innocence, and showed us a vacillating man who became strong. Robert Carson as Giles Corey gave a sensitive portrayal of an obstinate old man with a kindly humour and spirit of steel.

The most difficult parts were those of the two clergymen, for both were faced with a dilemma of conscience. Both characters developed well from an uncertain start, and Timothy Young as the Revd. Hale became mighty in righteousness.

As Mary Warren, Janet Keighley convinced us of the power of fear over conscience, while Elizabeth Walker as Elizabeth Proctor was moving as a faded rose blooming again under martyrdom. Anthony Lawrence as Danforth, ranting and self-opinionated, certainly lived the part.

All the cast, every one, lived their parts all the time they were on stage, with expression and gesture, even when apart from the main action.

The Head Master of St. Peter's, and many others, have praised this as among the best school productions they have seen. Clearly the players, the producer and all concerned gave of their very best.

What an achievement!

PEER GYNT The familiarity of Grieg's music is a far cry from Ibsen's travelogue of alienation, this saga of the lonely will. The Odyssey, Faust and Sartre come to mind before the allusive message and episodic obscurity of the work. It was a difficult challenge for a school production, and one the cast largely succeeded in overcoming. The three stages of the hero's life found excellent expression in their various incarnations. The unsure, selfcentred, braggart adolescent shown at the beginning, when Peer's character is made most evident, was portrayed with vigour and conviction

by Julian Les, whose clarity of diction gave us ample opportunity to appreciate, if not understand, the strange runes of Ibsen's poetry. In this first part the Queen Anne's contingent, led by June Inglis and Elizabeth Nock, provided a worthy complement to the cast.

Tim Morley's study of the cynical roué given a mad vision of the logical end to his philosophy was subtle and perhaps the most sympathetic view of the character. The sly old man, almost but not quite concealing his desire for human involvement, was Mark Hepworth, who showed us some good, straightforward acting.

Once Peer leaves his native village he encounters a host of odd personages, each of which gave some member or other of the cast a delightful occasion to throw himself into the role. Those which stand out most are Richard Hamilton-Williams's satanic Mountain King, the superb, inert depth of the Great Boyg, alias Richard Atkinson, Brian Macartney, the gloriously insane Dr. Begriffenfeldt and the quiet menace of Chris Beall as the Strange Passenger. But around these a swarm of lunatics and trolls disported themselves in a manner both unnervingly individual and overwhelmingly collective—a triumph of production.

A striking image left by the play was provided by Richard HamiltonWilliams and Gordon Mcllroy's set with David Fotheringham's lighting.

Between them they achieved marvellous chromatic and spatial effects to arouse one's curiosity and admiration when the Scandinavian developments got too hard. Indeed in view of the technical inventiveness the School possesses one wonders what advantage is gained by adopting the fore-stage convention in preference to the proscenium. If the theatre is to be a means for the entertainment and enlightenment of an audience rather than an end in itself, then matters such as the choice of subject and the mobilisation of precious time, space and material must be kept severely in proportion.

All in all it is a tribute to the School's standard of acting and production that a play like "Peer Gynt" could be put on with such effectiveness and colour.

HOUSE NOTES DRONFIELD We started the Term by welcoming Mr. Du Croz to the post of Assistant Housemaster and in a very short time he has done much to brighten up the House. In Athletics several members of the House excelled themselves. Michael Bidgood achieved maximum points for the second year running and also won three events, the 440, 880 and the High Jump. He also managed to come second in the Mile despite injury. John Cresswell won the 100 and 220 yards and came second in the Long Jump, which was won by George Park. The aforementioned with the valuable help of Graeme Perks won the Relay Race. In the Senior section Philip Gooder, the Captain, endeavoured to beat the School Captain, Robin Walker, in the long distance races. He came joint second with Brian Macartney in the Long Jump. The House won the Standards but failed to retain the Shield.

The House further excelled on the Rugger pitch with both teams being drawn against School House. The Junior Team gained a 27-12 victory after being 6 all at half time. The endeavours of John Cresswell, Michael Bidgood and Graeme Perks are to be especially commended. The Senior House Team under the extremely able captaincy of Robert Taylor won a 13-6 victory in their match with School House. Unfortunately both of our Teams were defeated in the next round. The House was well represented in the second and third fifteens as well as the under sixteens.

Robert Taylor gained his second fifteen colours and John Cresswell and Stephen Kirby gained under sixteen colours. In the field of Fencing Charles Caratini also gained his colours.

During the course of this Term George Park, Simon Clark and Philip Gooder constructed a new Table Tennis table for the games room and we are extremely grateful to them for their work.

We also welcomed Nicholas Wishart, Charles Caratini from France, and eleven new Juniors. At the end of last Term we also said goodbye to David Broom whose unique brand of humour will be remembered by all who knew him. This Term we lose our Head of House, Graeme Cowen. We thank him for all he has done for the House and wish him well in the future. Next Term his place will be taken by Neville Turton.

G.E.C. 13

THE GROVE This Term we welcomed Mr. M. Dawson as Assistant Housemaste and G. F. Horsfall who is a first year Senior.

On the Athletics track the Grove was not disgraced by any means, although we picked up the "wooden spoon" on Sports Day. However, that only merits individual effort and individual stars we sadly lack. But the House effort for the Athletics programme can be seen in the Standards results in which we came fourth. A creditable position, due to the work of A. T. Sykes, the House Captain of Athletics. In the House singing competition, the Grove, ably managed by R. J. Wood, came fifth overall but it was undoubtedly "our night" especially as the Grove received the loudest applause and appreciation for the rendering of "Casey Jones". Those who took part were all volunteers.

This season, the Grove Senior House Rugby Team earned praise for its noteworthy, spirited attitude. The team contained no less than seven people from Game two. Although dispensing with Temple in the first round the side lost to Manor in the semi-finals. Due to injuries and absentees the Team was at half-strength but still managed to lead 3-0 until the last five minutes of the game. Final score was 9-3 to Manor.

The Junior side did not shine quite as much and lost a disappointing game to the Rise 14-0. I. W. Stephenson captained the side.

A large number of Grovites took part in both School plays, "Peer Gynt" and "The Crucible". In the latter, the Grove constituted nearly half the male cast and praise must go to S. J. Parker, for a convincing performance in the leading role. The cup shelf has been boosted by the arrival of a couple of large trophies won by C. J. Brown swimming for Darlington County. He must also be congratulated for the award of House Colours.

Finally, the House took on a "new look" this Term with new lino and carpets, as well as the installation of new furniture. Even the dormitories in No. 17 are quite luxurious (they are now heated!).

MANOR The Christmas Term has seen many Manorites involved in a great variety of pursuits and meeting with considerable success in a number of them. The House has had, during the Term, four Captains of School sports as well as leading committee members of seven societies. The outstanding individual of the Term has been A. S. Rennie who, captaining the Athletics and Rugby Teams, has achieved a great deal in both fields.

The excessive Rugby training spoilt our hopes in the Athletic Standards but a dedicated core of good Athletes brought us fourth place in the sports. In the sprints A. S. Rennie won both the 100 yards and 220 yards with two magnificent runs and kept the Sprint Cup very firmly in the Manor.

Both Senior and Junior Rugby Teams played excellent football and reached their respective finals. A. S. Rennie, who was the House's only 1st XV colour, led a very determined Senior Team. He received considerable help from A. P. R. Dean, K. D. Bowler and J. J. Les, and 14

the Team played exceptionally well against Queen's in the final. In fact it was not until well into the second half that Queen's, on paper a far superior side, managed to impress their superiority and win. In the Junior final, also against Queen's, the Team played extremely well and W. F. Elsy and C. D. Pallant led them to a convincing 17-6 win.

At the end of the Term S. Foster successfully completed his Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award, an outstanding achievement. In the Fencing world J. C. W. Williams retained the Dr. Slade Senior Foil Cup which he had won last year.

The spiritual side of the House's activities has been prominent this Term. Once again we held a House Communion which was arranged by R. H. Hodgson and celebrated by Mr. Ellery, the Junior School Chaplain.

The House also took over a week in Chapel and services were arranged

by Mr. Depledge, S. Foster, R. H. Hodgson, R. F. Hornby and J. C. W. Williams. In the House itself the voluntary House prayers have progressed well with good attendances.

In the House Music Competition R. F. Hornby organized both the singing and instrumental competitors in the House. The singers were very successful with their rendering of the "Lyke Wake Dirge", coming second equal. This was particularly pleasing as we entered a large group of singers, rather than a few talented individuals. The instrumentalists were less well placed but their performance was of a high standard.

In the sphere of Drama, many members of the House have been involved in this Term's theatrical productions. Most notable of these was J. J. Les who had one of the title roles in "Peer Gynt".

Academically the House has had a good Term. We came third in the Work Cup and, although some "years" contributed rather less than others, this was a good result. At the end of Term three Senior Middles sat for "0" levels for the first time and three out of the eight "Oxbridge" candidates were Manorites, a pleasant reflection of the academic strength throughout the monitorial year.

During the Term A. P. R. Dean, S. Foster and A. S. Rennie were awarded their Senior House Colours, and M. S. Bruce, R. R. R. Clayburn, A. F. Harben, R. D. Millikin and M. S. Ray their Junior House Colours.

At the end of Term A. P. R. Dean, S. Foster and J. C. W. Williams leave the House, the latter two sharing the distinction of being the joint holders of the last ever Manor shove ha'penny championships. Let us hope they each reach their intended destinations in the "rat race" to further education.

J.C.W.W. QUEEN'S At the beginning of the Christmas Term, we welcomed seventeen new boys and one "Old Peterite". G. Hodgson was appointed Head of School and Head of House, M. G. B. Hepworth was made a School monitor and the vacancies in the House monitors' study were filled by N. Barnes, K. V. Cable, P. S. K. Crossley, J. D. Harrison, M. J. Jones and E. R. Walker.

We started the Term confident of retaining the Athletics Standards title, but were hampered more than somewhat by the rugby commitments 15

of many Team players (eight members of the House played for the 1st XV at one time or another during the Term) who could have gained the points necessary to have lifted us from third to first place. However, on Sports Day, we more than made up for this disappointment by winning the Shield, eventually quite comfortably. E. R. Walker won the Senior 440, 880 and 1 mile, breaking the School record in each event (the last of which had stood for well over fifty years). D. G. Senior won the Intermediate mile, and P. A. Winstanley proved a very capable replacement in the 440, finishing second. Mention must also be made of R. A. Pinder and R. M. Spencer who came first and second in both Junior sprints—Spencer also winning the Long Jump—and the victorious Senior and Junior Relay teams.

We were also bidding to retain the two House Rugby Trophies. After a bye in the first round, the Senior Team, under P. S. K. Crossley, met Dronfield in the semi-finals. After a hesitant start, we eventually won 32-5 scoring nine tries against a side depleted by the loss of Perks during the first half. The final against the Manor proved a much harder match, yet despite playing with fourteen men for much of the game, we won 16-3, K. V. Cable scoring ten of the points.

The Junior side, captained by P. A. Winstanley, and playing with practically the same pack as last year, also gained a bye in the first round, and met the Rise in the semi-finals. After defeating them 26-0, they, like the Seniors, came up against the Manor in the final. Even though they were without Warren, there was a period in the second half when victory seemed a possibility, but the big Manor forwards proved too strong, finally taking their side to a 17-6 win.

Many members of the House took part in the two School plays, and with this in mind, we look forward to another successful House play next Term.

In the House music competitions, we also did very well indeed, winning the instrumental and coming second equal in the singing. E. R. Walker must be given full credit for the amount of time and effort he put in, arranging the pieces, as must, of course, his "team": —J. J. Beadle, J. P. H. Harrison, S. D. Lloyd-Jones and R. M. Spencer.

At the end of Term, Senior House Colours were awarded to N. Barnes, K. V. Cable, S. P. Coverdale and R. T. S. Young, and Junior Colours to J. G. Bailey, R. A. Pinder, R. A. Scott and T. J. Ward.

Finally, we say good-bye to three leavers, J. D. Harrison, R. S. Cole and J. Prendergast, thanking them for all that they have done for the House, and wishing them well for the future.

G.H. THE RISE The Christmas Term was one of change, both in the School as whole and in the House.

All the Sixth-formers can now wear clothes of their own choice, an all meals are now run on a cafeteria system; and these have necessitat changes in the running of the House. Especially the latter, which enabi more Senior people to get up much later in the morning. The Junior common room now has a separate writing area for each boy, and other, 16

common rooms will be converted during the Easter holidays. This has enabled all prep to be done in the House; a system preferred by all. The House has a new Assistant Housemaster, S. G. I'Anson Esq., a mathematician, who is interested in drama production, and will be helping with our House play.

The numbers of the House are down this year, there being eight Juniors. And this depletion of numbers affected our results in the sporting field. We were beaten in Rugger by Houses with half as many members again as the Rise; the Juniors being beaten in the second round, and the Seniors in the first round. But we fared better in the autumn Athletics, as we came second in the Standards (by a total of only four points) and third overall. The only other inter-House game played was Chess, in which we were beaten in the first round by last year's winners.

One other notable event was the visit of Brother Andrew Paul, a Franciscan Friar from Florida, U.S.A., who talked with the Rise Society in an informal open meeting with members of the House. Mrs. Cummin kindly provided coffee for the occasion.

Further details and comments on many things written about here will be published in the June issue of the Risite, which is edited this year by Ashley Cooper; and letters to the editor from old Risites will be most welcome.

SCHOOL HOUSE

Although this Term has not been a successful one for the House in team events, many individuals have distinguished themselves.

The Term began disappointingly with the House coming last in the Athletic Standards. On Sports Day two of our best runners were injured and unable to run. With these two we would surely have come higher than the sixth position we obtained. However, R. F. Atkinson ran well to gain second and third positions in the two Senior sprints.

On the Rugger field the Senior House Team lost to Dronfield by 13 points to six. The Junior House Team also lost to Dronfield, the score being 27-12. Individually the House has been well represented in School Teams. J. T. Morley captained the 1st XV, and A. N. Lawrence and K. H. Sargeant were awarded their 1st XV Colours, while among others R. F. Atkinson, P. A. Scott and N. Gray captained their respective Teams. I. Gray and J. W. Gillgrass played Squash for the 1st V, and N. J. Gillgrass played Chess for the 1st VI. In the House Singing Competition, our rendering of "The House of the Rising Sun" earned us fourth place. In the instrumental competition our musicians performed very creditably to finish second. Congratulations to all concerned.

We look forward to next Term when the House hopes to perform a House play.

TEMPLE

Again, Temple won the Work Cup. This was partly due to the large number of prizewinners in the House. They were: M. W. Bainbridge, K. N. G. Benson, A. S. Bowie, N. A. Cameron, N. R. Fridge, T. A. Gibson, P. L. Hall, D. J. G. Livingston, J. R. Lund, J. A. Mitchell, D. P. Rounthwaite, R. Sharpe and T. J. Young.

The monitors were T. J. Young, M. W. Bainbridge, P. L. Hall, R. J. Hamilton-Williams, M. J. S. Muncer, C. A. Myers and I. Robinson.

The favourable weather conditions made Athletics much more enjoyable this Term. The House came fifth in both the Standards and the Sports Day events. But the Senior and Intermediate Relay Teams did extremely well to come second in their events. Muncer deserves special mention for his enthusiastic leadership.

Bainbridge, Hall and Robinson played in the 1st XV and Young and Mitchell played for the 3rd XV. Heddle, R. M. Coates-Walker and Newdick also represented School teams.

The Junior House Team, led by P. M. Shepherd, went down to a strong Manor side 27-0; nevertheless, the score does not reflect their effort. The Senior House Team, captained by Bainbridge, lost to the Grove 25-3. The game was settled in the opening minutes when the Grove made a decisive attack. Apart from this our Team held their opposition very well.

The House Music Competitions were also held this Term. In the singing, the House won with "The Sloop John B". We came third in the instrumental competition playing a march by Lully. Our Captain of Music, Myers, made much of the House's musical resources and organised practices very efficiently.

"SLINGS AND ARROWS" WHO WROTE THEM?

When W. S. Gilbert was told that a certain actor was to play Hamlet, he said: "Good; now we shall know whether Shakespeare or Bacon wrote the plays". Asked to explain this, he answered: "Dig 'em both up and see which one's turned in his grave". *

*

*

has now reached the firm conclusion that the plays were not "B written by Shakespeare, but by another man of the same name."

I dreamt one night that Shakespeare's ghost Sat for a Civil Service post.

The English paper set that year Contained a question on King Lear, Which Shakespeare answered very badly Because he hadn't studied Bradley.

EXIT, PURSUED BY A BARE The planned production of Macbeth with nude scenes will no doubt reveal deeper meanings in this stark tragedy, and should be good boxoffice. But what bad luck on the cast that this first cultural venture should be set on a blasted heath and in a drafty castle. They will be happier when the warmer climate plays take their turn, with some of the better ones suitably re-written to get over the disguise problems of Portia, Rosalind and Viola.

C.C.F. NOTES A long week-end visit to H.M.S. Caledonia at Rosyth; afternoon flying from Church Fenton and night flying from Topcliffe; exercises on Strensall training area, including a night exercise planned by Captain Oxley, C.W.O. Harrison and Sgt. Elsworth; the Military Band working up to a standard of considerable self-assurance; all in all, membership of the C.C.F. has plenty to offer to the boy who wants some activity out of the routine. At the end of the Term there was a March Past which showed that a good deal of drill will be needed to bring the Contingent up to a proper standard of smartness.

Captain Bulcock has taken firm command of the Royal Navy Section with its wide ranging activities; Contingent Warrant Officer Harrison gave a very good lead as the Senior N.C.O., and Sergeant Hamshaw has organised the Band in a most promising way.

Adventurous Training, formerly known as Arduous Training, will be in March, in the Brecon Beacons area of Wales; this is open to members of all three Service Sections, and we are grateful to the Scouts for giving some useful instruction in outdoor cooking.

D.G.C. R.N. SECTION The following appointments were made at the start of the term, i/c section, L/S Young; 2i/c section, L/S Bell; i/c Collingwood Division, L/S Sherriff; i/c Nelson Division, L/S Pearson; i/c Rodney Division, L/S Craven.

The Section continues to thrive and thirty new recruits have joined this term which is a fine tribute to my predecessor's inspiration, Lt. Maw. Instruction has been varied and we are very grateful to Captain Le Tocq for coaching the new boys in shooting, and help from Lt. Maw, the late C.P.O. Keefe, L/S Craven, L/S Bell and L/S Slater has been most welcome.

The camp lists are now available and many cadets have made enquiries to avail themselves of the opportunities to see the Navy in the Easter and Summer holidays. An addition to our "fleet" has been promised by H.M.S. Caledonia in the form of a new 8hp diesel-engined, 16 foot slow motor boat. This boat has been built by the apprentices at Rosyth. This should be in operation in the Summer Term.

19

The highlight of the Term was a trip to our parent establishment of H.M.S. Caledonia at Rosyth for which a report has been prepared b A. B. Harrison. It appears below.

R.J.B. It is with deep regret that we record the death of C.P.O. Keefe on January 4th. He gave most valuable help in our training; and those who knew the Chief at the splendid Loch Ewe camps will remember him as being so much at home in his Royal Navy environment, and will realise the more sharply that the Royal Navy has lost a fine representative in the schools, where he was able to impart to Cadets, with tolerance and with few words, all they needed to know about the senior service from the C.C.F. point of view.

D.G.C.

VISIT TO H.M.S. CALEDONIA

The following members of the C.C.F. (Naval Section) visited H.M.S. Caledonia, Rosyth for a training weekend, November 27th to 30th, with Lt. Maw, R.N.R. and Capt. Bulcock, RE.:— L/S Craven, L/S Bell, A.B. Harrison, Pette, Wormald, 0/D Beaulah, Bernard, Brown, Feeney, Clark, Lucas, Mcllroy, Ringrose, Cdt. Dimelow (Army).

The party left York by train for Edinburgh on the afternoon of November 27th and arrived on board H.M.S. Caledonia in time for late supper. The reasons for going were various; some had been before and therefore wished to go again; others had not, and wished to find out what it was like in the Navy. All were trying to see the Royal Navy at work.

On Saturday we were hauled out of our pits at 06.15 hours for an hour of drill from the Chief Gunnery Instructor. The same morning we had coffee in the Wardroom with the Officers; we then took part in Ceremonial Divisions for an hour, being inspected by a Staff Officer and marching to a Brass Band and to a Pipe Band. In the afternoon we had three hours on an MSMB on the River Forth, buoy-jumping and steering the boat.

On Sunday we rose at a more reasonable hour and went on a ship visit to H.M.S. Malcolm in Rosyth dockyard. H.M.S. Malcolm is a Class 14 Frigate used in anti-submarine activities. She was built about 1955 and she is going to be scrapped in April next year. We were shown around all the ship from stem to stern and the workings of the engine room were explained to us. In the afternoon we were due to have 7.62 mm shooting (SLR) but this was cancelled at the last moment due to poor visibility. Instead there was .22 and pistol shooting in the underground 25 yard range, Captain Bulcock excelling in the latter.

On Monday morning we started a day at sea (or at least the Firth o Forth) aboard H.M.S. Rapid. She is a Class 15 Frigate built around 1940 and now used as apprentices' training ship at Caledonia. It was hard, to believe that at one time she had been the fastest ship in the Fleet at 42 knots, but more easy to believe that she was not allowed out of sigh of land! We were also told that there was a "slight swell" and som were promptly sick. A RAS (Replenishment at Sea) was carried out wi 20

H.M.S. Malcolm and O/D Lucas and Cdt. Dimelow were transported across the narrow gap between the two ships. H.M.S. Malcolm then left us to go to Iceland on Fishery Protection duties and then H.M.S. Rapid mercifully anchored for lunch; if it had not some of us might still be feeling the consequences! On our way back to port some of us rowed the ship's boat for about two hundred yards round the ship after being launched using Robinson's Disengaging gear, which it was interesting to see used for once. We left the ship to the unison piping of L/S Craven and L/S Bell.

Our thanks are due to Captain Bulcock who accompanied us and Lt. Prior, Royal Navy, who was our host.

J.P.H.H.

ARMY SECTION summer a number of Army Section Cadets went to the Royal Last Navy camp at Loch Ewe, and found it a first class training of wide general interest. It is to be hoped that there Will be equal enthusiasm for Adventurous Training and for Army Camps where the training in recent years has become much more imaginative in keeping with the new training syllabus.

This syllabus, which we are now starting, includes such activities as Orienteering, Canoeing, Adventurous Training and Swimming, as well as the essential Drill and Shooting. The Cadet seeking to become proficient in this type of training will find it necessary to attend an Army Camp or Adventurous Training course where time and opportunity are available.

J.N.G.

R.A.F. NOTES During the Autumn Term the section was commanded by Sgt. Stow, assisted by J/Cpls. Cameron, Ramsden and Shepherd P. M. Ten recruits provisionally joined the Section and in addition to general training, took part in model building, dinghy drill and shooting.

Flights B and C, who are in their second year, have undertaken initiative tests and visited Army signals establishments. Five members of Flight B were able to enjoy navigational night trips in Varsity aircraft at R.A.F. Topcliffe.

Flight A has been mainly concerned with preparation for the Proficiency Examination taken in December.

Once again air experience flying has been possible at R.A.F. Church Fenton but it has been rather curtailed by unsuitable weather.

It is anticipated that the annual camp in the United Kingdom will take place from March 31st to April 7th, and in addition it is hoped that four cadets will be able to spend a week at an R.A.F. Station in Germany.

SCOUT TROOP

111

The Term started with some question as to whether the Troop was to continue and if so in what capacity. To the pleasure of most it continued and is now thriving with all its old vigour.

As is customary at the beginning of the School year four new Patrol Leaders had to be elected and these were M. S. Bidgood; P. A. E. Challis; S. G. D. Kirby and K. H. Sargeant. T. H. Stead and S. N. Clark were also elected joint-quartermasters.

It was decided that in order to increase time for some activities evening meetings should occasionally be conducted. These took the form of one instruction meeting; one night hike which proved good for the three patrols that arrived at their correct destination, but not so for the fourth patrol; and the last meeting of the term, the camp-fire. The weather for all of these was kind and the latter, a traditional event in the Scout calendar, was held out of doors, which has not always been possible in the past. The two hours of jollifications at this event were much enjoyed.

The troop also undertook the job of coaching some inexperienced members of the C.C.F. in the fine art of outdoor cooking.

Many thanks go to Mr. Hamilton for assistance at our two orienteering meetings as well as Messrs. Coulthard, Craine and Hubbard for the smooth running of the troop.

M.S.B.

DEBATING SOCIETY Joint debates have been the order of the day this Term. Out of the handsome total of six, four of the Term's meetings were with oth schools.

Queen Anne School, already established as partners in discussion, entertained us, early in the Term, to a discussion on race. Soon afterwards, they were invited back to St. Peter's, and what was originally intended to be a motion for debate ("This House would drop out") developed, instead, into a lively and interesting conversation.

The final meeting of the Term was held in the Memorial Hall. Two girls from Queen Anne (representing, respectively, Jacqueline Onassis and Emily Pankhurst) were in a balloon with R. F. Hornby and W. J Clappison (Arthur Negus and Enoch Powell). Only one was allowed to stay and, with much help from the floor, all but Emily Pankhurst were finally ousted.

Our other joint meeting was, for the first time, with Queen Margaret's.

In a formal debate, the motion "This House says Wive la difference" was proposed by J. C. W. Williams and Margaret Ranken and oppose

by Rosemary Fullerton and B. C. Macartney. The standard of floorspeaking was poor, to say the least, and this may have been due to th inexperience of the Queen Margaret's girls or the timidity of the boys.

(It may be mentioned that for a good speech, even from the floor, som preparation is usually essential and this has been lacking recently.) 0 the other hand, the platform speeches, which have been generally 22

competent throughout the Term, were, on this occasion, of an exceptional quality. It is a pity that either side had to lose and this was reflected in the voting with 23 abstentions, and in the motion being defeated by 38 votes for to 42 against.

Both closed meetings were formal debates. In the first meeting of the Term, M. G. B. Hepworth proposed that "This House would welcome the re-establishment of theatre censorship". This was successfully opposed by S. Robinson, the vote being Ayes: 15, Noes: 25, Abstentions: 6. Later, "This House believes that economic rather than moral interests should determine Britain's policy towards South Africa" was debated. T. N. E. Bowen and M. H. Drucquer combined wit and close argument against the rhetoric and economic juggling of M. G. B. Hepworth and M. R. McMahon to have the motion carried by 15 votes to 3 with 10 abstentions. (A rare event nowadays, as only one of the previous twenty debates in the School has been won by the proposition.)

Attendance has been steady during the term, and the number of members, sadly depleted by leavers at the beginning of the year is now about twenty. The Committee, unexpectedly robbed of its President, D. H. A. Broom at the beginning of Term now loses J. C. W. Williams and S. Foster, the new President and Secretary respectively. David Broom is now believed to be practising his art on the inmates of Leeds University; we trust John Williams and Steven Foster will soon be debating in the chambers of their choice. The Committee has been particularly active under the watchful eye of Mr. Depledge, to whom we record our thanks. We hope the Society will continue to thrive on a nourishing mixture of traditional debate and refreshing, informal discussion with combined meetings adding an extra attraction.

S.F.

THEOLOGICAL SOCIETY As Mr. Kemp-Welch was away during the first half of Term, the Society did not hold any meetings.

There was only one meeting this Term, on October 20th, when Brother Andrew Paul told the Society about the work of Franciscan Friars in America, as he is an American, and in the U.K. This work varied from work in Soho amongst drop-outs to work with gangsters in America, in the hope that they could be stopped from robbing, and this certainly showed what variety the Franciscan life contains.

Brother Andrew Paul's visit to St. Peter's was his first job since arriving in England in September. The meeting lasted for just over an hour, during which a variety of questions were asked, but continued for about the same time again in the Chaplain's room—this meeting was certainly one worth waiting for.

R.H.H. 23

SENIOR SCIENCE SOCIETY This Term has been a fairly busy one for the Society, with five meetings being held on a variety of topics.

At the beginning of Term, Dr. Cussins of Cussins and Light came to the School to give a talk on "Colour Television". Dr. Cussins talked about the history of colour television and explained how one worked.

The second meeting of Term was held at Queen Margaret's School.

Dr. Chadwick from York talked about "Pollution". This was a very interesting talk which underlined the need for really effective steps to be taken against pollution.

Dr. Jordan from Leeds Medical School talked to a packed lecture theatre on the subject of "Drugs" at the next meeting. Dr. Jordan described "hard" and "soft" drugs, methods of preparing various drugs, methods of taking them, and withdrawal symptoms. Judging by the reaction of the audience, the talk really brought home the dangers of drug taking.

At the fourth meeting of Term, Mr. Weston, from Bradford University gave a talk on "Textiles". He very kindly brought along many samples including three fur coats which were very elegantly modelled by three female members of the society.

For the final meeting of Term two members of the Society, Gary Clarkson and James Gil!grass, gave a lecture on Tape Recorders. The talk was accompanied by many illustrations and demonstrations all of which gave us a clear understanding of tape recorders.

J.W.G.

JUNIOR SCIENCE SOCIETY At the beginning of this Term Mr. Wise took over the duty o Master-in-Charge of the Society.

We had four meetings during the Term, equally shared between film meetings and talks by outside speakers. These latter ones consisted of lecture by a mineralogist from the Yorkshire Museum on her own subje and another by Dr. Cowell from Bradford University on Horn Cinematography. We thank both these speakers very much.

The first series of film meetings was based on the subject of the Pos Office while the second series was concerned with the development o science.

The support has been very good throughout and a further successf Term is hoped for next year.

M.S.B.

YOUNG FARMERS' CLUB During the Term, the Club had five meetings and an Adviso Committee meeting on Thursday, November 19th. This meeting w followed by a meal provided by the School.

24

The first meeting was held on October 8th when Mr. R. F. H. Stephenson talked to the Club about the York Market, old and new, and also Yorkshire Fatstock Marketing and prices throughout the year.

The second talk was by Mr. Sutherland, M.R.C.V.S., on October 22nd. He talked to the Club about horses and studs. He also described the many ailments which horses are prone to.

On November 5th, Mr. D. Hurst, Principal of Bishop Burton College of Agriculture, talked to the Club about sheep farming. He described the breeds of sheep and what type of land they feed on. His talk was illustrated by some very good slides.

On November 19th, Mr. Gough and Mr. Heath talked to the Club about combine harvesters. They described the main parts of a combine and how they operated. This talk was accompanied by a film The final meeting was held on December 3rd when three films were shown.

Also, on October 11th, members of the Committee took part in the Harvest Thanksgiving services in the Minster and organised the service in Chapel the same evening.

A.T.V.

HISTORY SOCIETY There were four meetings in the Christmas Term, attended on each occasion by a dedicated group of 25 boys. Our visiting speakers deserved a larger audience; but they could not have wished for a more attentive one, nor we for more stimulating and fascinating talks. Dr. E. A. Gee, a parent and near neighbour from the White House, the office of the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments, enthralled us with his erudition, wit and slides of the castles of Yorkshire. We had on the day before prepared ourselves by visiting some of them with the help of Mr. Croft and Mr. Du Croz, when we drove to Spofforth, Knaresborough, Middleham, Bolton and Richmond Castles, a full afternoon's work.

Later in the Term the Chairman of the York Civic Trust, Mr. John Shannon spoke with fervour and conviction about our city and how the recommendations of Lord Esher were being put into practice. It seems that common sense will at last win and that York may be preserved not as a decaying relic but a vital inhabited centre, its beauty restored and enhanced. Mr. Shannon answered our questions with the same expertise.

To both our visitors we are most grateful.

A Balloon Debate was also held, when four figures from the past found their protagonists in M. G. B. Hepworth, I. D. Raley, J. R. Drummond and S. Robinson. Hepworth triumphed.

RUSSIAN SOCIETY Not a Term bristling with activity but the two meetings held have both been of extremely high quality. The first meeting consisted of a trip to the Odeon to see the film "October Revolution". The film was made 25

up almost entirely of old newsreels—many of which have not been shown previously to British audiences. Everyone who went found the film most enjoyable and we are grateful to Mr. Pullin for making the visit possible.

The second meeting of the Term consisted of a talk by Mr. J. V. Muckle, Russian Master at Leeds Grammar School, on his experiences in Czechoslovakia in 1968. Mr. Muckle gave a rather different and personal view of the Russian invasion and he illustrated his talk with some very good slides.

R.J.W.

ART SOCIETY The Society is aimed at promoting interest in the visual arts. It is open to all for that reason and a small committee is elected to devise a programme to help to bring Art and its appreciation to all whether they are artists or not.

This Term two very good films were shown—Henry Moore, and a film entitled "More than meets the Eye". Very little interest was shown by the majority and those who did trouble to come along were amply rewarded by two very good films.

If such a Society is to survive the committee must be alive and the School ready to support it by attending.

J.N.G.

BRITISH SHIP ADOPTION SOCIETY We have had a very interesting and comprehensive mail from S.S. "Devon", which has formed a display in the Geography Room: weather maps, brochures in abundance from New Zealand, an echo-sounding trace, cargo loading plan, etc.

This was Voyage 50, a considerable total for a ship engaged mainly on the New Zealand trade. The outward passage began at Liverpool on May 27th and except for bunkers at Curacao was direct to Auckland.

After calling at Napier, Wellington and Timaru, the ship started the homeward passage on August 14th, arriving at London on September 16th—a total distance just under 23,000 miles. The outward cargo was 6,892 tons and the homeward 5,067 tons, mainly farm products: lamb, beef, veal, casein, wool, skins, tallow, peas. It would be interesting to know why on this particular voyage the cargo also included cloves and forgings.

L.C.LeT.

ORNITHOLOGICAL GROUP RECOVERIES 1969 AND 1970 The total number was 65. Most of the 26 greenfinch recoveries were local, the longest being 65 miles away. Two of the four chaffinch recoveries were local, one in Cambridge and one in NORWAY. Four of the 26

eight blackbird recoveries were local, one ring being found in a kestrel pellet in Famdale four years later. One was trapped at Spurn Observatory and three others were recovered, one in NORWAY, after eight days, one in GERMANY and one in DENMARK. Two of the seven redwing recoveries were long distance ones, one in FINLAND and one in GREECE, our first recovery in that country. Eleven starlings were recovered from most directions in England but one was seven years old.

Two swallows were trapped by other ringers on their way south and one black-headed gull was recovered in IRELAND after nine years. One wagtail was found at Peterborough.

Also of interest were birds caught by the school which had been ringed elsewhere. These included two starlings and one greenfinch from Knaresborough ringing station, one greenfinch ringed at Spurn Observatory and a greenfinch and sand martin ringed by the same person in Worksop.

Pride of place must go to a blackbird which had been ringed in HOLLAND four months previously.

RADIO 5 After four weeks of the Term we were again on the air operating six

days a week and this was increased to seven days after half-term.

All the programmes were of a musical nature. A typical weekly

programme would be

Monday, 8.30 to 9.50-Twenty Tipped (Top 20) Tuesday, 8.30 to 9.50-Bellyskin (Tony Lawrence) Wednesday, 8.30 to 9.50-Export (Robert Flint) Thursday, 8.30 to 9.50-Tartan Show (Graham Yule) Friday, 8.30 to 9.50-Worthington 5 (Tim Elsworth) Saturday, 8.30 to 9.50-The Extra Show (Guest DJ.) Sunday, 8.00 to 9.50-The Extra Show, Talk of the Town (Barry Avison) The Extra Show featured programmes by many people which were

usually of a high standard, there being too many to list here.

Unfortunately the full list of the Radio 5 Directors was not able to be included in the School List and so it is published here:— Staff advisers D. S. Oxley, Esq., R. J. Anderson, Esq. Programme Controller Graham Yule Director of Music Robert Flint Director of News John Williams Chief Technician Nigel Dodd For the Easter Term there will be a slightly altered Committee a John Williams and Graham Yule are leaving, but the programmes will start on the first day of the Term and we hope they will continue every day until the end of Term, although there may have to be a break durin the Trial Exams.

MOTOR ENTHUSIASTS' CLUB The beginning of this Term was a busy one for the Club, with four meetings in as many weeks.

The first meeting of the Term was held in the Lecture Theatre as usual, to elect Club officials, outline the Term's programme, and receiv members' suggestions.

The first race meeting of the Term was at Oliver's Mount, near Scarborough, and was a memorable occasion on two counts—a "blowup" during the competition—the chairman still remembers with nostalgia the sight of unidentifiable pieces of expensive engine shooting skywards— and the breaking of the throttle-link on the old School Bus. On the whole a memorable outing according to the best traditions of the Club.

The next meeting was to have been to the Elvington speed trials on October 4th, but this had to be cancelled as a club meeting because of lack of numbers. Our thanks are, however, due to Mr. Craine, who took a couple of members out there during the afternoon. By all accounts this was a very good meeting, and it is a pity we had to miss it.

October 11th saw the old School Bus on the way to Topcliffe Aerodrome for the go-karting. Messrs. Rennie, Harris and Blackburn also turned up, but the meeting was not all it might have been because of the St. Peter's entry breaking down. This was M. J. F. Davidson, who has been karting for some years, and is accounted very promising by those who know.

The next meeting took the form of two films, but because of bad timing and the pressure of other activities the audience numbered only eleven This was a pity as the films were both of a high standard, but care will be taken in future as regards timing of film-shows, and we hope the audience will increase.

That was the last proper meeting of the Term. Two more were organised, but both had to be called off at the last minute—one to the Production Car Trials at some unspecified course—we were totally unable to find out where this was!—and another, to the Northern Motor Show in Leeds. Our apologies are due to members for both these cancellations. 1 28

Mr. R. HAWKINS, Clerk of Works, retired after more than 26 years at the School.

WALKING GROUP The Walking Group has continued to flourish this Term and judging by numbers wishing to join at the beginning of Term, is increasing in popularity.

Although we were restricted by Athletics early on we have since had a number of interesting walks; along the cliffs from Bridlington to Flamborough; to Terrington; and to Skipwith Nature Reserve where we were fortunate not to lose one of our members; also several others.

The most strenuous walk of the Term was to Captain Cook's Monument and Rosebery Topping near Great Ayton; these presented quite a challenge as it entailed us climbing two 1,700 ft hills in under one and a half hours. Most unexpectedly we were rewarded by the kind hospitality of Mrs. Dodd afterwards.

In addition to our walking activities we have lent our support to the 1st XV when they played at home—it was hoped they might return the compliment, but so far this has not materialised.

Finally, with memories of sheep tracks, exhaustion and a rather dampened soccer team, we hope that next Term's group will enjoy themselves as much as we have done and get some opportunities for sledging.

I MOUNTAINEERING CLUB The Club has had an active Term with expeditions to Kentmere, Borrowdale and Langdale.

KENTMERE MEET At the end of September the Club went away after Saturday afternoon games, reaching Malham by early evening. Since there were still some hours of daylight left, we paid a quick visit to Gordale Scar. This impressive gorge and waterfall had defeated us earlier in the year when it was snow and ice-bound, but on this occasion we had our revenge.

Having worked up an appetite we went to Malham Youth Hostel.

The gallon of mushroom soup at our disposal proved too much for us alone and we had to summon help to do it justice.

On a wet and misty Sunday morning we left for Kentmere. The mist didn't finally clear until we had climbed Kentmere Pike and were on route for Harter Fell. Slowly at first, and then with what seemed to be indecent haste, the clouds lifted revealing some breathtaking views of III Bell and Froswick at the far side of the Kentmere valley.

29

From Harter Fell a rapid descent was made to join Riggindale Crag, a ridge route which finally took us to High Street. By this time, the, combination of "ups and downs", hot sun and rucksacks which seemed to gain weight with every weary step, had taken their toll and a longer "lunch break" than usual was taken.

We speedily disposed of Froswick and Ill Bell to complete the Kentmere "Horseshoe" and then descended rapidly to the valley and so to the bus, though locating the most convenient bridge to cross the River Kent almost proved troublesome.

So ended a most enjoyable weekend.

BORROWDALE

During half-term a party camped in Borrowdale and our appreciation to the Scouts for making this possible mustn't go unrecorded.

"It never rains, but it pours"—a saying which can be applied to Borrowdale without hesitation. Torrential rain fell all about us from Saturday to Sunday afternoon, when we decided to stretch our legs up Sourmilk Gill Waterfall from Seathwaite. The prospect of Green Gable in the distance soon lured us on and we succumbed not only to this but also to Great Gable beyond! The day was unrewarding as far as vie ws are concerned, but our efforts were amply rewarded on Monday.

This really was a day to remember; how many can claim to hav scaled the heights of Scafell and Scafell Pikes with almost uninterrupte views all around?

Lord's Rake was as memorable as ever; a series of steep stone guile and traverses which are always testing in any conditions.

The final day saw the party wearily trudging around Robinson Crag and Hindscarth—a wet and windy experience.

One wonders if many people would choose to spend four days of their holiday camping in a muddy field in monsoon conditions, and coaxing their aching limbs to altitudes where they will be battered by icy winds, just on the slim chance of a panoramic view!

LANGDALE

After a 6.30 a.m. start (!) a sleepy party arrived in Great Langdale with forbidding clouds lurking menacingly overhead. A speedy ascent from the New Dungeon Ghyll to Stickle Tarn was soon behind us and a short break for refreshment was taken whilst we contemplated the awesome prospect of Pavey Ark. The route by way of Jack's Rake is "exciting" and in some cases, a little worrying. Our subsequent trek to Pike o' Stickle was punctuated by high speed bursts of horizontal hail stones and icy blasts. A mammoth "bog-trot" during which several of our members made brief involuntary descents into the mire with alarming regularity, separated us from Angle Tarn, where a break for lunch (or was it tea?) was rudely interrupted by more "weather".

Blizzard conditions on Bow Fell prevented an ascent so we ma for Three Tarns by way of Ore Gap, and then down The Band to th bus, and a welcome change into dry clothes.

30

Expeditions in the future include Austria, Glencoe, Snowdonia and of course the Lake District. More boys are starting to take advantage of the expeditions, and anyone else is always welcome.

I.C.A. BUSINESS GAME For the second year the school entered a "company" for the I.CA. Business Game, as did 242 other schools. For the second time the company has been successful in overcoming the challenges of rival establishments—this year Stockport G.S. and Stockwell Manor School.

The game itself is computer operated, with each company providing sets of data. This data is arrived at by allocating money for production, advertising, depreciation, plant investment etc. There are four markets (each company having a home one, and the fourth common to all companies) in which the company's unspecified products are sold. Five such decisions must be made, and the company with the most computerised capital at the end proceeds to the next round.

The team held several practices on a less complex version of the game, devised by Mr. Clark, before Round One began. The directors then divided themselves into separate departments to study particular decisions. The Managing Director, G. S. Clarkson, and Mr. Clark went to a briefing session in London shortly before half-term.

The company had an unfortunate start, making an error in transport cost allocations, which caused a severe loss in profit. Progress was made steadily, but when the results at the half way stage arrived, we found ourselves £300,000 behind. However, the fourth play brought a profit of £1 million, and the final result showed us to be £10,000 in front.

Apparently our nearest rivals, Stockport G.S., had been lured into a sense of false security, and consequently played the last two decisions too safely.

We owe particular thanks to the Managing Director, experienced and industrious campaigners of last year C. A. Myers and G. S. Yule; and, of course, to Mr. Clark and Mr. Shuttleworth for their sagacity in advising an often hesitant board.

We look forward to progress into further rounds next term. The final will be played in London shortly before Easter.

YOUTH ACTION NOTES In the past we have always listed what has been done but let it suffice to say that over the last term the Youth Action group within the School has now become a games option. This of course means it is now possible, if there is sufficient interest, to advance upon the progress made in the last few weeks.

31

What exactly does Youth Action involve?

It may be that if this is explained a few more people may be interested in offering their services. It is basically offering all forms of help to those who for one reason or another have been unable to obtain such help elsewhere. This may take the form of manual work, decorating or gardening, or just talking. Often the company of others is what these people really need, just a chat about things in general—all you need really is the ability to listen—not to be a great decorator—so if you would like to do something with your time go and see Mr. Depledge for more details.

VISIT TO PARLIAMENT On Monday, November 9th, the 10 members of Middle VI Politics/ Economics set plus Mr. Rigby caught the 8 o'clock train to London.

Our first visit was to the public gallery of the Stock Exchange, where the hurly-burly of business on the "Floor" was explained for us by the charming receptionists. We also saw a film about the public flotation of a company.

We dispersed for lunch and re-assembled in the Lobby of the House of Commons. Mr. Fergus Montgomery, Conservative M.P. for Brierley Hill and Godfather to Simon Robinson, had very kindly provided tickets for the Strangers' Gallery. We soon gathered from Mr. Montgomery and from the tense expectation as we watched the Speaker's procession into the House, that this was to be no ordinary afternoon. The debate was on Rhodesian sanctions, and Enoch Powell was likely to speak.

We first listened to an interesting question time; then, in the main debate, Sir Alec Douglas Home, the Foreign Minister, put the Govern• ment's case for keeping sanctions, and this was largely supported by the Opposition speaker, Mr. Denis Healey. After several speeches, Mr. Powell stood up to criticise the motion. He delivered a fluent and witty oration, which was met with cheers from the quite large Conservative splinter group who supported him. He certainly demolished many of Sir Alec's points.

We left the House at 6.30, went for a quick snack in Soho, and caught the 8 o'clock train to York.

It had been a most enjoyable and instructive trip, and special thanks must go to Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Rigby and S. Robinson, who made it possible.

VISIT TO WOMBWELL HIGH SCHOOL November 12th and 13th, 1970 On arrival at our destination, Wombwell High School, we w greeted by our hosts and introduced to the Deputy Headmaster, Middleton. Unfortunately the school was under a cloud due to the d of the Headmaster's son, the previous night, from lung cancer, and 32

would like to record our deep sympathy. Our timetable was planned for us, and we embarked upon a sixth form drama group, who were reading Dr. Faustus. Next came the lunch break, where we were separated and fed in a house communal room. In the afternoon a visit to double History was arranged for us, which was most entertaining.

The remainder of the afternoon lessons was occupied with a guided tour of the school.

At four o'clock we departed, individually, to the houses of our hosts, where we spent a most enjoyable evening in the company of their respective parents. The following morning we returned in time for morning assembly, which was conducted by the more senior pupils. It was based upon "pop" music festivals and included a relevant "pop" record. We then paid a visit to double Maths, which was of a rather high standard for us to comprehend. The remainder of the morning was taken up by an impromptu tour of the classes and a visit to a sixth form Physics lesson. We visited the Art, Woodwork, P.T. and Metalwork classes, all for a short duration. The school had an excellent "technical" block, which we were most impressed with. In the afternoon we visited the school farm, which had a horse, pigs and various fowl. We also visited another History lesson and conversed with many people.

We were most impressed with the school, which had excellent facilities. Among many other things, it had 'three gymnasiums, one of which was no longer used. The visit was a marvellous opportunity to see the functioning of a co-educational comprehensive school. We are particularly grateful to Mr. I'Anson for taking us, our hosts, and to Wombwell High School for tolerating such rudely obtrusive and inquisitive people.

THE THRESHOLD AN ANTHOLOGY FROM THE FIRST AND SECOND YEARS

THE TREE An apple tree standing by the side of the road, Where perhaps somebody left an apple core, After a day in the country; Grown up with the help of nature.

Apples like glimmering red light bulbs; The tree still covered by apples, And weighed down by them, Weeping with this weight of fruit.

In a few days they will start falling, Like small meteors from out of the sky, And bruised as they land on the verge; To be eaten by people or insects, Whichever get them first.

FIRE AND NIGHT Crackling loudly as the fire jumps.

Eyes stare and start to water.

"Keep back," says the fire, the almighty one, "keep back."

It burns on merrily, Keeping itself warm, The smoke is carried by the wind.

The fire still keeps snapping away at those branches; The singed ground is parched.

The fire is impressed by the moon; It is dying and growing.

But the sky is somewhat lit in places; The sky sings aloud.

Clouds move across the face of the crested moon; Almighty one wants to burn it.

CHEETAH He runs, His fur the colour of burning gold; A blur carried on the wind.

He hunts by day, Whilst the drowsy unconcerned antelope graze on the wiry tussocks of golden grass.

Eyes intent on the kill, He pounces.

Dust billows and swirls over the scene.

The struggling ceases; The antelope lies still like some carcass in a butcher's shop.

Cheetah has made his kill, So have 1

HIDING PLACE Shoes clicking on the concrete, running to the end of the road, leap over the ditch into the wood; the long cathedral like avenue of trees above you, counting, one, two, three; this is it, my tree, a tall slender tree with stubby growth round the trunk; grab two branches now I'm up, climbing cautiously round the growth, like a spiral staircase; step carefully on to the planks on the broken branches, just enough room to squat or stand, hidden by the leafy branches, keeping quiet and listening, unseen in the shady avenue.

MACHINES God did not create machines, man did. God did not intend man to create machines, for machines are destroying God. Man could not exist without machines. The machines are taking over : at first man could control his machines, but now he has no option—either he submits to the machines or he is destroyed. They have taken over what man could no longer control. Man is indeed the slave, he is required only to 'feed' the machines their 'food', to mend them, to look after them.

The machine world is a cold, calculated world, programmed and with no margin for error. Gone is the warmth of love and human desire. Soon machines will programme men. Machines are replacing nature: man is forced to bulldoze nature to where it came from, in order to give his machines more room. When nature cannot cope, the machines move in, polluting, killing, looting the land and anything else which stands in their way.

Efficiency is a key word. The horse was not efficient enough, so it was replaced by a machine. Nature's products are replaced by synthetic substances. So what happens to man when he is no longer efficient? Will machines replace mankind? Will life be destroyed? Or is man already a machine? If he is, man is an exceptional machine. He is irrational, emotional, often illogical and subject to errors.

STARLINGS In the summer Hundreds of black beetle birds Sit Silently in the long grass.

The green speckled wings Of greedy giants Glittered, like stagnant water In the sun.

I went outside And all at once The air was full of Croaking angry vermin Full of angry fire Thrashing the air with great green-silver Flecked wings.

A whirling up above And they were gone.

THE HOLE IN THE ROCK On the crest of the bleak moors Stood a tall, grey boulder; I climbed it, and at the top, I saw a small round hole, Big enough to hold my fist.

In it, two small pebbles Were whirled around by the wind.

These two stones must have Carved the hole alone.

I imagined them, through blizzards, Through gales, through storms, Spinning around in the Miniature whirl-wind; Slowly grinding their way into the boulder, Through sheer time.

TIME Layer upon layer Of grey, bare rock, Exposed to the winds, Coming off the cold, grey sea.

In this rock, thousands of fossils are imprinted, Ranging from a tiny imprint looking like a spring To an enormous, fierce-looking, dinner-plate sized creature.

Every layer is a different colour, Making a contrasting set of stripes, Kinking and winding along the otherwise bare cliff, Which is hundreds of millions of years old.

THE FALL The thin chute plummets down, Filled with heaving, bubbling liquid.

Dropping in tons, down, down, The rush as water batters water, Swirling around the darkness.

The upward rush; Stark bleached foam shoots up, Spatters down and dissolves in the dark mass.

The weight of it empties over the edge, Filing away at the sides.

The same rush, A lacework of whitewashed spray.

The thin water gurgles away in a quickening flow.

WITH THE MORNING The chopping surface, biting wind Has fled before a white, soft light With no source.

An occasional ripple drifts silently by As though it did not see us.

From a foghorn many miles away Drifts a quiet blare Echoing across the water Dampened by the white blanket.

Not city smog, But a cool, pure, white screen Hiding the miles of still ocean; Or dangerous rocks jutting brazenly out, Crying out for wind and rain: But not a breath of breeze To disperse the fog That softly steals the sea.

Our engines are silent; The throb that thudded all night Has gone with the morning, Leaving our sargasso sea silent And still peace.

M.P.B., I

ATHLETICS September 1970 The innovation of Athletics at the beginning of the Christmas term is now no longer a dream in the pipe-line but a fait accompli. The pros and cons have still to be weighed—the experience of one year alone may well not provide sufficient evidence for a balanced decision, indeed an Easter term free of athletics has still to be brought into consideration.

At least one thing is well known this year, the contrast in weather conditions could scarcely have been more marked. Three and a half weeks of dry and comparatively warm weather provided ideal conditions both overhead and underfoot; the wonder is that results generally were not of a higher standard, but the reason for this was the chronic lack of fitness of practically all concerned after a prolonged summer holidays, not to mention the preceding Summer term. The stark realisation of this fact had first to be accepted by each individual followed by the right response.

The transition from Spring to Autumn athletics necessitated some changes in administrative details, amongst which was the alteration in the Intermediate and Junior age levels, which in turn has made all past records in these two age-groups obsolete. If any therefore were overawed by the previously published list of School Athletic Records, here is an opportunity to establish one's name for perpetuity. Certainly this year's results are unlikely to survive for long.

From the athletic point of view, in spite of the advantages, certain disadvantages were met. Under the new system both the discus and shot-putting events became inevitable casualties. All those suitably proportioned for these events were already fully involved with priority rugby practices. Also key men, if not House athletics captains, were invariably missing from the track, when their presence and example would have been invaluable, but again the call to rugger practices was overriding.

There was also the lack of time and opportunity for Juniors to learn how to abandon the scissor jump and adapt themselves to more progressive ways of high-jumping. Undoubtedly we have deprived ourselves of the opportunity of holding an athletic fixture with any outside school, for we seem to be pioneers in this new system, and on our own at the moment. However, our main apprehension, the interference with rugger practices, seems largely to have been allayed. The evidence of the earliest rugby results certainly does not point to any clash of interests, indeed it is fervently hoped that the athletic programme did much to raise th6 general standard of fitness amongst team players and others alike.

Standards—now a competition in its own right (15 points for the Oxford Cup)—were the main preoccupation for the first two and a half weeks. By the narrowest of margins Dronfield won the competition with an average per head of 8.56 pts., followed by Rise (8.52 pts.) and Queen's (8.48 pts.). Outstanding individual performances were less in evidence than usual, but maximum points were obtained by M. S. Bidgood (D.) in Set C, as well as R. A. Elwen (G.), C. F. Baggs (R.), and A. G. B. Perks (D.) all in Set D, and one short of maximum by E. R. Walker (Q.) in Set A and P. R. Gooder (D.) in Set B. For all that may be said of the season, there is no denying that it will best be remembered as Robin Walker's year. In spite of all else, one sensed that here after all history was being made in the establishment 37

of three new school records, including the fall of the oldest. His achievements were all the greater for no one could claim to be his pace-maker, let alone a serious rival. His efforts, pace-making and skilfully-timed finish, were all his own, which led to the success he so richly deserved from his dedication to a cause. Thus the 71 mile record will, instead of T. B. Ward (1967) 53.9 sec., in future read E. R. Walker (1970) 52.3 sec.

Likewise the + mile record will, instead of C. J. Parker (1962) 2 min.

6.9 sec., read E. R. Walker (1970) 2 min. 4.3 sec. And finally instead of J. W. Ford (1895) and A. J. Peters (1911) in 4 min. 45.0 sec., the 1 mile record will read E. R. Walker (1970) in 4 min. 41.4 sec. For all their efforts, the rest of the field were made to look like hacks.

Conversion to metric cannot be so far away, so let's not give up!

RUGGER The 1st XV became a team of great spirit, in which it was a thrill to play, and which was a pleasure to coach.

It was a very young team: we hope for seven back next year, and perhaps five the year after.

39

As expected, results were moderate, though perhaps three wins, one draw and five defeats in school matches is unkind: evens would be a fairer reflection.

The front row was tremendous. Even on the retreat they won a heap of ball. Lawrence worked hard in the second row and had fair success with place-kicks, while Raley overcame an early tendency to fringe and was outstanding in later games.

The back row, inspired by Carson, was quick to the loose ball, but only late in the season learnt to run on the right lines. We then saw great tackles by Kerruish and Bainbridge.

Very unfortunately, Jones dislocated his shoulder in the Denstone match, but Cooper, who had established himself on the wing, re-adjusted as a tough full-back. The wings had few chances in attack, though Hall had good runs at Worksop and Pocklington, and Rennie at Ashville.

Morley in the centre led the side very well, but was nagged by an ankle injury and did not recover full attacking form. However, his defence was an inspiration; in particular it raised Corser's game from a shaky start until, at Leeds, he was outstanding.

At fly-half Coverdale improved all the time. To begin with he did not set his line going really slickly, nor kick with real power : he acquired both these skills. He has a natural flair for reading a game.

Young at scrum-half could be brilliant. Early on, while the back row were all at sea, he did much covering, felling forwards twice his size.

He needs to work towards more control.

The O.P. game was a great success. Richard Baldwin picked a to of the right strength to get the best out of the school. The O.P.'s w particularly impressed with the rucking, tackling and spirit of the sch team.

The 2nd XV had a very light pack who were unable to set up song quite talented backs. The results were disappointing, but they show great spirit in their closely contested matches.

The Senior Colts were an unbalanced side, partly because of the tht who played in the 1st XV. When their strong pack took charge th had some good results.

The Under-15 Colts is (their season is not yet over) probably the m balanced team in the school and plays to a sound tactical plan. Ti Under-14's have made good use of more limited talent.

J.P.R. Reports of 1st XV School Matches: v. BRADFORD G.S. St. Peter's beat Bradford G.S. 16-0. Bradford squandered good ba and St. Peter's were lucky to lead by a Lawrence penalty after a scrapl first half.

In the last quarter the St. Peter's pack provided better possessi Kerruish went over after a midfield loop; Coverdale darted in to sco from broken play; and Carson finished a spectacular blind-side run Corser, supported by Bainbridge. Lawrence converted two.

40

v. DENSTONE St. Peter's lost to Denstone 12-6 at St. Peter's, in a game of no tries.

The St. Peter's pack dominated the tight, winning 12 against the head.

The backs had a poor day in attack and the Denstone defence was impregnable.

The St. Peter's handling was poor, and Young mis-timed some of his breaks.

Denstone scored two penalties and two drop-goals against two penalties by Lawrence for St. Peter's. v. ASHVILLE In a tense game of close marking St. Peter's drew 11-11 with Ashville at Ashville. Each side scored a goal, a try and a penalty.

Ashville scored first after a blindside break from a maul, then Coverdale went over for St. Peter's after a nick and switch.

The Ashville forwards crashed over from a penalty close-in, then Rennie ran determinedly for St. Peter's to score in the right corner.

The St. Peter's half backs, Young and Coverdale, kept good control in a tricky wind.

Corser showed resource at inside centre, playing with more discipline; the back row of Carson, Kerruish and Bainbridge were prominent and the tight forwards did well to match a powerful Ashville pack. Lawrence kicked the goal and penalty. v. GIGGLESWICK St. Peter's beat Giggleswick 27-3 at St. Peter's. St. Peter's, particularly through Barnes and Sargeant, established a marked superiority in the tight, and also in the loose particularly through Crossley, Carson and Lawrence. At first this possession was wasted, then Coverdale went over from a break by Kerruish.

In the second half Coverdale showed outstanding judgement of the point of attack, and tries were added by Cooper (2), Corser, Coverdale himself and Bainbridge. The last three tries came after spectacular handling movements initiated by Young at scrum half. Lawrence kicked three conversions and a penalty to Giggleswick's penalty. v. AMPLEFORTH St. Peter's lost to Ampleforth 16-5 at Ampleforth, in an exciting match which was open until the final quarter. Ampleforth made better use of a strong wind in the second half than St. Peter's made in the first.

St. Peter's, with a slight edge in the pack, were perhaps unlucky to be down 8-5 at half time: a try by Coverdale was disallowed and Lawrence hit a post with a penalty. Ampleforth scored two good breakaway tries, by Dowling and Bowie after classical interpassing from their own 25. For St. Peter's, Corser ran strongly from half way for a good try after a blind side break.

In the second half stout defence, particularly by Morley, Carson and Young, and good hooking by Barnes kept Ampleforth out until a late try by Linton. For Ampleforth Skehan kicked two goals and a penalty.

41

v. DURHAM St. Peter's lost to Durham School 24-0 at St. Peter's. Durham were this season among the best school sides in the North, but some aspec of St. Peter's play were disappointing, particularly the defence.

For St. Peter's, Rennie made a fine cover tackle, while Hall on left wing and Cooper at full back showed pluck and skill in fieldi the Durham high kicks. v. WORKSOP St. Peter's lost at Worksop 8-6. We had more of the play, but could not finish. Raley was outstanding in lineout and loose. He made two crucial tackles, and scored the first try, having broken from a maul, fed Hall, and taken the return pass. Bainbridge tackled well and nearly scored, while the front row again dominated the tight. Sargeant also scored the second try from broken play.

Morley and Corser made several telling breaks, and Cooper at full back twice felled opponents who seemed set for the line. v. POCKLINGTON St. Peter's beat Pocklington 8-3 at Pocklington. The game was v er even, hingeing on Lawrence's superior goal-kicking for St. Peter's.

He kicked a 40-yard penalty and converted Barnes's try, while Poe lington failed with their conversion and several penalty attempts.

St. Peter's superiority in the tight was matched by Pocklington's the lineout.

The Pocklington rucking was a feature, but their backs could n tl penetrate a defence in which Cooper, Bainbridge and Morley shone.

When St. Peter's did win loose possession, penetrating runs we r made, particularly by Hall, Corser and Raley.

Both the Pocklington No. 8, and Carson for St. Peter's crossed th line but did not ground the ball. v. LEEDS G.S. St. Peter's lost to Leeds G.S. 27-0 at Leeds. The Leeds side play ed copy-book Rugby, setting up good rucks, and varying from there th point of attack. There was a term-end lethargy about St. Peter's pla but Corser showed power and grit against the tide, and Raley, Bai bridge and Kerruish made several good tackles.

HOCKEY OPTIONS After Athletics senior boys in rugger games 2 and 3 were allowed to play hockey on Mondays and Wednesdays, and boys from games 4, 5 and 6 played on Fridays. The senior option occupied 21 boys and the junior option 27 boys.

By playing on firm dry pitches instead of the usual January and February mud the general standard of play improved very rapidly and many senior boys have learnt more hockey in this option than in all their previous hockey in Easter terms. The junior option, containing many boys starting hockey, was also successful. Three friendly matches were played with Bootham School and one Under 16 game was played against the Knavesmire Boys Hockey Club.

G.D.C.

SHOOTING Miniature range shooting this term has been carried on in the usual way: three teams in the Public Schools Small Bore Association Leagues and practices, mainly for beginners. The Leagues occupy 15 club members, plus two or three reserves, and many new members have taken the opportunity to learn and practise. Unfortunately the middle element of the club, many of whom did .303 in the summer and from whom future teams would be drawn, have not attended much. In general, League averages are a little lower than usual; there is no obvious reason for this, and fluctuations are bound to occur from year to year.

League positions were: "A" Team 2nd out of 7.

"B" Team 5th out of 6.

"C" Team 5th out of 6.

In the "Staniforth" match we were below our usual form and were 56th out of 120.

The top eight averages were:— T. N. E. Bowen 96.5; G. S. Clarkson 95.7; R. F. Hornby (Capt.) 95.2; P. L. Cass 95.0; P. A. 0. Bell 94.7; R. H. Goodwill 93.3; T. M. Elsworth 92.6; N. P. Moxon 92.2.

SQUASH This has been a term of varied progress. The more Senior players, with notable exceptions, have not distinguished themselves, indeed some of them are quite definitely weaker players than they were last year This is partly and justifiably explained by pressure of work, but regrettably lack of interest and effort are also reasons in some cases. Sadl it was necessary to cancel the only Under-16 Colts match. In view o this apathy, the tremendous enthusiasm of the Under-15 group was al11 the more encouraging. The Under-16 Colts match against York S.R.C. was replaced by an Under-15 fixture—this produced a most enjoyable evening, thanks to the splendid approach to the match of the club players' and the eager response of the boys.

The captain, Ian Robinson, has set an excellent example and is to congratulated on his selection for the Yorkshire "A" and 2nd team He and Peter Hall were members of the Yorkshire Under-19 team, whi spent three successful days in the South of England; both won all the matches with considerable ease.

BATH CLUB TEAM TOURNAMENT Although unseeded, we had quite a good draw and reached the fi of the competition without great difficulty. In the Final, Stowe's secon and third strings were too strong for us. Our team of Ian Robinso (unbeaten in the tournament), Peter Hall and James Gillgrass dese many congratulations in their fine performance.

FENCING Although each member of the first team has been pre-occupied wi end-of-term examinations, the club has managed to have an active an very successful term. Every match has been won and some of the resul have been extremely gratifying.

In the Yorkshire Youth championships the first team, representing York, converted the many near-misses of last year into material success by winning the event and acquiring a handsome trophy. After defeating Teesside and Wakefield with comparative ease, York reached the final and met a very experienced Sheffield side. At one stage the team was 4-2 down; however, with a great recovery York clinched victory, 5-4.

It was an outstanding exhibition of tenacious fencing and gained the school its first external fencing trophy for some time. The sabre team was also victorious but this weapon unfortunately does not yet merit a cup.

On the last Saturday in November a triangular match was held between ourselves, Leeds G.S. and Bootham. Victory was won by all our teams. The first team crushed Leeds 9-0. This was certainly the best performance of the season with every member of the team hitting peak form. Bootham were also soundly beaten. The junior foil team had two good wins and the junior sabre team remarkably beat Leeds's first team 5-4, due mainly to some excellent sabre by J. R. Woodcock.

The outstanding fencer in the senior final was R. J. Haze11, who made a remarkable impression by his uninhibited fencing. He defeated both M. J. S. Muncer and R. G. de H. Oldham with some deceptively fast foil play, and completed the pool with only one defeat. Muncer missed the chance of a fight-off by losing to Oldham in a singularly fine bout, leaving J. C. W. Williams, who had lost to Muncer, to face Haze11 in a barrage for first place. Williams, relieved at not having to fence Muncer again, defeated Hazell and received the cup from Dr. Slade himself. The fencing was not as consistent as in the junior final but it was pleasing to see the more junior colours giving as good as they got and achieving some good results.

On December 5th Muncer went down to the Under 20 foil championships in London. He was unsuccessful but gained more valuable experience. He takes over the captaincy next term and we all hope that he can bring out the club's potential for the Public Schools' championships and have the success he deserves.

There was a feature on fencing in York on "Yorksport" during the term. The reputation of the school fencing club is spreading further and such television programmes bring a boost both to the sport and the school. I hope that Yorkshire Television will continue its interest in fencing.

Because the team has been basically the same as last year's, there has been only one new team fencer this term. C. S. Caratini has been a valuable addition to the sabre team and, due to some outstanding results, was awarded his colours at the end of term.

On behalf of the club, I would like to thank Mr. Power for his tremendous drive and enthusiasm, and also Muncer and Oldham for making such a large contribution to the success of the various school teams. I am sure this will continue in the future.

WINTER SPORTS VILLARS, SWITZERLAND-2-11 JANUARY, 1971 The party of 17 Peterites and seven girls from various York schools covered the long journey to Villars in high spirits. Travelling arrangements worked well. After stormy weather during the previous week, the English Channel was calm and, apart from some delay in Calais, the trip through France and Switzerland passed without incident.

The Gray brothers awaited the party outside the hotel in Villars, having motored from The Hague with their parents.

Despite earlier adverse reports, snow lay on all the slopes and the magnificent Alpine peaks stood out against a clear, blue sky : these conditions were to prevail during the whole week.

Monday morning found experienced members of the party taking the mountain railway to the Col de Bretaye for instruction on the high slopes.

The 16 beginners took their first lessons on the nursery slopes close to the village. The instruction, given by "moniteurs" of the Swiss National S 48

School, was again excellent and all members of the party (with one possible exception!) made good progress in the sport.

Food at the hotel was good and after Mr. Hirst had solved a few minor problems concerning daily routine, all arrangements went smoothly.

A power cut on Monday morning did not prevent the management from providing breakfast for all the hotel guests!

Evenings were usually spent in the two discotheques at the hotel but some members went bowling, skating or to the cinema in the village.

The management once again contributed to the birthday celebration of a certain Peterite and offered the traditional "raclette" on 6th January.

The latter meal was found by some to be interesting if not so filling as a normal dinner.

After seven days of unbroken sunshine and fine skiing the party left at 5.00 p.m. on Sunday 10th January. It must be mentioned that, by now, top-class skiers were to be heard complaining about the scarcity of snow on the more difficult "pistes". For our purposes, however, the snow conditions had been good.

The journey home, inevitably more tedious than the outward one, went well. The Channel was smooth once more and British Railways deposited the party safely in London arid York.

Twenty-six boys and girls had enjoyed the best possible weather and good skiing, and by their co-operation and responsible attitude had contributed to the happiness and success of the eighth St. Peter's School Winter Sports Holiday.

OLD PETERITE NEWS A meeting of the General Committee of the Old Peterite Club was held at the School on November 21st.

The President informed the meeting that the K. H. Rhodes Memorial Fund stood at almost exactly £1,000. It was agreed that the School should arrange the date for the Dedication of the Choir Stalls in memory of K. H. Rhodes, although the Committee felt that Commemoration would be the most suitable time.
