y ounger school teams. Unfortunately they were under strength and played
below their usual standard and were beaten convincingly by Rise. There were individual successes for cricketers of the House: J. C. Rounthwaite was awarded his 1st XI colours and D. I. Riley was selected to play for (he 1st XI at the end of the term. On the river this term Temple provided several rowers for school rews. A. R. Hornby rowed for the 1st VIII and 2nd IV throughout the term and won a tankard with the latter crew at York Summer Regatta after being beaten finalists on two previous occasions. M. J. F. Davidson rowed for the 3rd IV at York and Bradford and P. M. Shepherd was a member of the 2nd VIII. J. M. Newdick and R. M. Coates-Walker rowed for Colts crews, the former at the National Schools Regatta. Many members of the 5th and 4th forms rowed this term and the large number promises well for the future. Some Junior Colts rowed in Schools Invitation regattas with some successes. A. R. Hornby was awarded his 1st VIII colours and M. J. F. Davidson and J. M. Newdick 2nd VIII and Colts VIII colours respectively. The Junior House IV : C. G. A. Morcom, P. A. Newdick, T. C. Moore and I. A. Nichols with C. A. F. Brown coxing beat Dronfield in their first race even though P. A. Newdick parted from his seat half way through the race. In the semi-final they won a close race against the strong Queen's crew and in the final beat the favourites School House convincingly to win the Junior House IVs cup. Some members of the House took part in less well publicised sports; for instance C. G. A. Morcom won the York Canoe Club's Still Water Slalom and C. J. Hirst continued his orienteering this term and won a gold award. Academic standards throughout the term were high as confirmed by the Prizegiving at which Temple collected over 25% of the prizes: a fitting end to a term of hard work by the House. We say goodbye to the majority of M VI and C. A. Hodge, to whom e extend our best wishes for the future. M.J.F.D.

BRADFIELD '73 "THE BACCHAE" by EURIPIDES At 7-0 a.m. on 7th June, six members of the School, Mr. Croft and
the Head Master set out from St. Peter's in the brand new minibus. On the outskirts of the city we picked up two others, making the full
complement of males. At Wakefield we made contact with the five other members of the party, four girls and their teacher. As we sped along, the sun rose in the sky, for which we were very grateful. At Brackley we were allowed to stretch our legs, and some of us were refreshed. Then we re-embarked to complete the journey. At about one o'clock we stopped for lunch in surroundings which were pastoral rather than bosky. As we sat by the river and ate, we made the acquaintance of a family of swans who willingly accepted all our unwanted food. Perhaps these swans were descendants of those which 47
