Rise by four wickets in a close and tense struggle, in which only 125 runs were scored altogether. Other members of the House are to be congratulated on playing for School teams: K. W. Kerr (1st XI), J. N. W. Hare and H. R. B. Pease (Senior Colts), and D. M. Noyes (Junior). J. N. W. Hare was appointed Captain of the Junior House cricket team. The House Boat Club members provide a formidable line-up of enthusiastic oarsmen, many of whom have represented School crews: the most notable members being C. G. A. Morcom, T. C. Moore, C. A. F. Brown, I. A. Nichols and J. P. Morcom—all having rowed for top School crews. Judging from the abundance of good oarsmen, we anticipated some success in the Inter-House competition. Disappointingly, little success was gained by the Tennis team, who were surpisingly defeated by the Grove in the first round. In Water Polo and Shooting congratulations are in order. K. W. Kerr is a regular and valuable member of the first team in Water Polo, and C. J. Hirst, A. M. Prowde, P. D. Widdicombe, S. W. Humphreys and P. W. H. Chilman are House Shooters, who also represent the School. Academically, the House has asserted its influence on the term in no uncertain way. We learned that D. M. Noyes had gained a Scholarship, which is a very commendable feat; C. J. Hirst won the Wilcox Prize for Physics, P. A. Newdick the Senior Geography Prize, P. W. S. De Silva the Dean of York's Junior Latin Prize, P. S. Lancaster the Whytehead Senior Divinity Prize, A. F. Heavens shared the Dronfield Prize for Mathematics, G. C. Pattie a prize for Science, P. D. Jowsey the Handicraft Prize, and J. A. Johnson the Music Prize for Woodwind. R.F.P.
CAMBRIDGE LETTER May Week, 1976 In the wake of an entertainment held in Trinity College and attended by Peter Croft, David DuCroz and various past and present members of the School, parents and friends, a quorum of Cambridge Old Peterites decided to produce a Cambridge letter sketching the varied activities of the "1st XVI". Eldest surviving is Angus Bowie (Temple, 1962-1967), whose long experience has well equipped him for dealing with the local Abbot. Now a Research Fellow of Emmanuel, his time between supervising, parties and High Table banquets is spent writing a thesis on ancient Lesbian poetry. Several rungs below on the academic ladder comes the large group of third year undergraduates. Famous in the sports pages of The Times and Daily Telegraph is Steve Coverdale (Queen's, 1967-72), Cricket Blue, multiple sportsman for Emmanuel and occasional lawyer. Also in the Law faculty is John Mitchell (Temple, 1967-1972), whose occupations in Corpus Christi are many and varied. From the Governing Body of the College to part-time barman, footballer, jazz musician and sometime Yeoman of the Guard, he is pledged to appear in the Lents next year. These two report occasional sightings of Robert Gray (Dronfield, 19671970) in the Old Schools. He is known to row for Selwyn. 97
