THE PETERITE Vol. XXXV

OCTOBER, 1943

No. 304

EDITORIAL. The changed format of this issue is, as readers will doubtless realize, the consequence of a recent considerable curtailment of the paper-supply. The difficulty of conforming with the new regulations and at the same time for preserving the function of "The Peterite" as a full chronicle of the life of the School has been met mainly by the use of smaller type, and, though there has been some condensation, it has not been found necessary to omit any of our more important features. The war-time activities of both School and Old Peterites deserve due recognition, and it is hoped that we shall not be constrained to record them inadequately. The pages which follow tell their own story of a full and vigorous Summer Term, but we should like to draw attention to the remarkably gratifying Scholarship and examination results, of which the details are given elsewhere. Of the 3o candidates entered for the Higher Certificate examination, 27 were successful, an achievement which is unprecedented in the history of the School. The awards of University, State, and other Scholarships are no less notable. These results, considered in relation to the size of the School, challenge comparison with those of any school in the country, and we can feel justly proud of both the variety and the quality of our VIth form work. The calendar for the forthcoming term includes two of our more outstanding events—Speech Day and the School Play. Speech Day will be held on the 5th November, when His Grace the Archbishop of York, will present the prizes ; and on the 15th and 16th December, there will be performances of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew."

OBITUARY. DR. A. E. CHAPMAN. Dr. Arthur Ernest Chapman, who died on the 3rd August last at the age of 87, was educated at the School and proceeded to Christ's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in Law, and subsequently obtained the degree of Doctor of Laws. He was called to the Bar, but did not practice, and devoted himself to the teaching of law in York and Leeds. On the establishment of the Department of Law at the University of Leeds, he joined its staff as a lecturer and tutor, and was a member of the Court and Council of the University. He was also a member of the Yorkshire Board of Legal Studies, and all his life took a great interest in the teaching of law. In particular he was a believer in the teaching of the elements and principles of English Law to schoolboys, and undertook a course of lectures in that subject at his old school. He was a strong exponent of the virtues of accuracy and precision in legal knowledge, and his many pupils now practising law will freely acknowledge the great value of his teaching. He was twice married, and is survived by his widow.

MR. C. H. GRINDROD. We regret to record the death at Reno, Nevada, U.S.A., of Cecil Herbert Grindrod, third son of the Rev. W. Grindrod, Vicar of Alne, Yorkshire, from 1875-1894. Mr. Grindrod was at St. Peter's School about 1880-5, and was one of the seven sons of the Vicar of Alne, all of whom were at St. Peter's between 1875 and 1894. Five of them are still living and hale and hearty. The eldest, the Rev. F. K. Grindrod, has recently resigned from the living of Battlefield, near Shrewsbury, of which he had been the incumbent for upwards of thirty years. 1

LT.-COL. H. T. McCLELLAN. In July there died at Falmouth, Lt.-Colonel H. T. McClellan, late 8th Hussars and an O.P. He was at St. Peter's from 1879 to 1883, and in his last year was Captain of Cricket. He was a member of the Rev. "Tommy" Adams' house at Clifton Green, and kept up to the last a special interest in his old School, of which his father, two uncles and two brothers were also members. MR. F. T. PENTY. It is with great regret that we have to record the death of Mr. F. T. Penty, after a short illness. F. T. Penty was a boy at St. Peter's School, and has always been an enthusiastic supporter of the O.P. Club. For many years up to the time of his death he was Architect to the School, his chief work being the new Library and Class-room Block. The design of this building created a good deal of interest, and the opening of the Library Block by Lord Halifax, in 1927, marked the thirteenth centenary of the foundation of the School. During the past few years Mr. Penty had begun to consider details relating to our post-war building plans, and the School will sorely miss one who has given his services unstintingly in its behalf. BOAT CLUB. Fund for the replacement of the damaged Boats. We acknowledge, with gratitude, the receipt of the following donations. It is hoped that friends of the School, particularly those interested in rowing, will help towards providing the necessary sum of about £160. £ s. d. 5 o o Dr. R. A. Dench 10 0 0 Lieut. A. C. W.

KILLED ON ACTIVE SERVICE. Thomas Denison Ambler. We regret to record that Thomas Denison Ambler was drowned on operaHe was a Lieutenant in the Parachute Regiment, and tions on June 13th. We tender our sincere sympathy was in School House from 1933 to 1937. to his wife, whom Denis had married only six months previously and to whom a daughter was born on August 28th, and to his mother, Mrs. C. M. Ambler, of 16A Keswick Road, Boscombe, Hants. 3

Frederick William Fineron. Major Frederick William Fineron (1920-1927) has died of wounds received while serving with Airborne troops in the North African campaign. He was in the Supplementary Reserve of Officers, and on the outbreak of War went to France with the B.E.F. and took part in the Dunkirk evacuation. He leaves a widow, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Arrowsmith, of Bishopthorpe Road, York. To her and to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fineron, we offer our sincere condolences. John Garnham. Our hopes that good news would yet be heard of John Garnham have not, unfortunately, been fulfilled. He was reported missing after the big raid on Cologne on the night of 3rd-4th June, and for some weeks there remained a chance that he was a prisoner. We regret to record, however, that towards the end of September, official information was received that he had been killed in the operations. John was in School House from 1936 to 1940. There are still many of the present School who remember him with affection, and we offer our sincere sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Garnham, of 209 Graham Road, Ranmoor, Sheffield, 1o, on the loss of their only son. Peter Heywood. We have learned with regret that Flight Lieutenant Peter Heywood, D.F.C. (St. Peter's 1931-1936), has been officially presumed dead. The award of the D.F.C. to F/L Heywood and the fact that he was missing from operations were recorded in the "Peterite" for January, 1943. Since then the absence of further news has led the Air Ministry to conclude that he has lost his life, and his death has now been presumed, for official purposes to have occurred on 9th November, 1943. Peter was at St. Olave's before entering the Senior School, and was a member of the first XV. He enlisted in the R.A.F. (V.R.) in August, 1940, and was commissioned in July, 1941. His last promotion to Flight/ Lieutenant was made on the 7th October, 1942, barely a month before his death at the age of 22. He was captain of a Stirling bomber and took part in many raids over enemy territory. We tender our deep sympathy to his parents, the Rev. J. W. and Mrs. Heywood, of The Vicarage, Hebden Bridge, Yorks.

PRISONER OF WAR. Flying Officer L. W. Bennett. Good news has been received of L. W. Bennett (Temple, 1934-1939), who had been posted as missing from operations early in the summer. It is now officially reported that he is safe and a prisoner in German hands. Bennett, who was trained in America as a fighter pilot, had been engaged on operational duties in this country since June, 1942. DENIS LYTH. In our last issue we recorded that Denis Lyth (Temple, 1923-1932) had been very seriously wounded and that the chance of recovery was uncertain. We are happy to report much better news of him. He is now out of danger, and there is a confident expectation that, after many operations, his leg has been saved. He is temporarily out of hospital on a month's leave, and, although it will be a long time yet before he is clear of surgeons, there is every prospect that (to quote a lever from his father, Dr. J. C. Lyth) "he will eventually be almost as good as new." 4

NEW POST FOR AIR VICE-MARSHAL MEDHURST. Air Vice-Marshal C. E. H. Medhurst, M.C., C.B., has been appointed Commandant of the R.A.F. Staff College. He was air attaché in Rome between 1937 and 1940 and later became Director of Allied Air Co-operation. Other posts he has held during a distinguished career are Assistant 'Chief of the Air Staff (Policy) and temporary Vice-Chief of the Air Staff, in which capacity he was an additional member of the Air Council. Air Vice-Marshal Medhurst gained the M.C. in the last war, in 1918, for "successfully bombing enemy batteries from a low altitude and silencing their fire." The award of the C.B. (Military Division) was made in the New Year Honours List for 1942.

TERRITORIAL DECORATION. Major Sydney Anderson (1916-1920) has been awarded the Territorial Decoration for zo years' service. He joined the York Medium Battery, R.A., soon after leaving school. It is interesting to note that Lt.-Col. R. A. Wilkinson, to whom the award of a similar decoration was noted in our last issue, was captain of the School XV of which Major Anderson was also a member.

Lomas, J.P., and Mrs. Lomas, of Thirsk, Yorkshire, and Marjorie Lilian, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Musgrove, of Birkdale, Lancashire.

DEATH OF MRS. T. ADAMS. Old Peterites whose School life fell in the period of twenty-five years during which Mr. T. Adams was head porter, will learn with regret of the death of Mrs. Adams, which occurred suddenly and quite unexpectedly on the 30th July, 1943. This loss, coming so soon after his misfortune in the Air-raid, must be felt very deeply by Mr. Adams, and there will be many who, recalling Mrs. Adams' unassuming and kindly nature, will join us in offering to him our sincere condolences. 5

NOTES AND ITEMS. The Dean of York preached in Chapel at the Commemoration Service held on Sunday, the 27th June. During the term the School was given two lectures on foreign countries. The first, given by Professor Allison Peers, was on Spain. Professor Peers spoke of the history of Spain in recent years, the character of the Spanish people, and Spain's relations with her former South American colonies. The second, by M. Sudjic, was on Yugoslavia. In his lecture, M. Sudjic sketched briefly the history of Yugoslavia and then cited examples of his country's heroic resistance to Nazi oppression. There have also been two opportunities of seeing branches of the modern Army. A detachment of the Reconnaissance Corps visited the School on July ist, and various types of armoured car were inspected enthusiastically. Perhaps the most interesting part of the demonstration was provided by a Sergeant of the Corps, who related some of his experiences in the Tunisian campaign. During the "Wings for Victory Week," the School, with a target of £1,000, raised a record total of £2,156 I2S. od., and at the end of the term the total reached, since the Group was formed, was £7,287. 10

Several members of the J.T.C. went on a Cadet P.T. Course, held in York during the sununer holidays, and we congratulate D. H. Denholm and Pryer on being members of the winning squad in the Inter-section Competition. We also congratulate J. K. Andrew and J. D. Bulmer on being awarded State Bursaries in Science.

HARVEST CAMP. Once again it was decided that the School should help the war effort by holding a Harvest Camp. So for six weeks during the holidays the rural peace of Coulton was disturbed by the invasion of some 5o boys bent on 6 weeks hard work. Three days before the Camp started, the advance party arrived to find a pile of equipment provided by the North Riding Agricultural Committee. The weather, having been fine for the few weeks before the Camp started, immediately took a turn for the worse (despite the Headmaster's assurance that better weather had been ordered this year), and throughout the Camp good weather was conspicuous by its absence. On account of the exceptionally fine weather of the previous months the harvest had already begun when the Camp started, and there was no difficulty in finding work for the boys. In fact, work could quite easily have been found for twice the number. Very little time was spent mowing thistles or leading manure, all hands being needed in the field. The harvest this year was as good, if not better, than last year's, and on the fine days many weary hours were spent in the harvest field. In the latter half of the Camp, many farmers began to lead their corn, a part of the harvesting with which very few had assisted in the previous year, because of the extremely late harvest. This tiring job provided a welcome change from the seemingly endless stooking to which we had grown accustomed. The weather in the last week was even worse than that of the preceding weeks, although it had been thought that no worse weather could be experienced. For 4 days we were subjected to an almost continuous deluge, during which the occupants of one tent assured us that it was raining harder inside their tent than outside. However, towards the end of the week, the rain was less conspicuous and on one day so far forgot itself as not to appear at all. On the final Saturday when Camp was struck, the weather began to pick up again and since then to the time of writing, there has been a longer spell of fine weather than any experienced throughout the Camp. Finally, we must thank all the ladies who so willingly volunteered to cook for us. Mrs. Bainton, Mrs. and Miss Andrews, Mrs. Jackson and Miss Jackson, Mrs. and Miss Bulmer, and Mrs. and Miss Boulton, who so gallantly battled with the elements to feed us. Nor must we forget the many masters, who gave up their holidays and to whom must go the credit for keeping the Camp running smoothly. Last, but not least, we must thank the Headmaster and Mrs. Dronfield, who were ever ready to help and who gave up the whole of their holiday to be at the Camp.

HOUSE NOTES. MANOR HOUSE. So with the writing of these notes we come to the end of our first year, a year, packed with events, which has gone extremely quickly, and which has left one little time to think. To many in the House, perhaps the past year does not seem to have been a very successful one for us, but on looking back we see that only in the rugger and running events were we really overwhelmed, and in the other events we gave the other houses extremely hard fights, and in several only narrowly failed to achieve victory. As for the term which has just past, the main events in it were the InterHouse cricket and shooting events. In hie 1st XI cricket we drew the Rise hi the semi-finals and here we should like to congratulate Steele heartily on his century made against us, which, coupled with the collapse of our batting, enabled the Rise to win fairly easily. In the 2nd XI cricket we achieved an outstanding victory. We drew School House in the senior finals and won easily, and in the finals we completely overwhelmed the Rise, winning by too runs. In the shooting events we gave a good account of ourselves, and we also came second in the section competition. So much for Inter-House affairs, and now for the activities of the House itself. Indoor games, etc., have, as is usual during the summer term, not flourished to any an great extent, but the playing of cricket on the front lawn has been very popular. The Juniors themselves developed once more the craze for bug hunting and often were they seen chasing about the grounds after some elusive butterfly. So to end these short notes, may we merely add that the spirit in the House has been very good, and remind those that remain that if the House is to be successful in the future, that spirit must not only be maintained, but must be improved upon.

R.A.S.

CLIFTON RISE. The Summer Term has provided a fitting climax to a successful year, both in sport and work. We lost the 1st IV Boating by a narrow margin to Temple, but we more than made up for this by winning the Senior Cricket. A fine century by Steele against the Manor did much to give us an easy victory over a team which, on paper, should have been unbeatable. In the finals, the accurate bowling of Wood and Duffield kept Temple's score down to 59. We retained the Tennis Cup, after a fairly close match with Temple, and again beat what should have been the winning team. Sterling work was done by the Boaters' contingent in the Junior Cricket, but though we reached the final, Manor were too good for us. Robson (J. C.) and Darley deserve special mention. Congratulations to Steele, Wood and Murray on being awarded their 1st XI colours, and Robson (J.) and Morris on being awarded their 1st boating colours. Congratulations also to Hart on his School swimming colours, Duffield on his 2nd XI colours, and Robson (H.) on his 2nd IV colours. In the Section Competition, the Rise section under L/Cpl. Penty came third. Unfortunately, Cpl. Thompson, who was the section commander, was absent. School House are to be congratulated on winning the Fernie Cup. We are sorry to say good-bye to Godsmark, our Head of House, Steele, Murray and Thompson, who are all leaving to enlist in the services or go on University short courses. We are also losing several other senior boys. We would like to record our gratitude to them and our appreciation of all they have done for the House, and we hope to carry on their good work next year. 12

We have again been visited by many Old Peterites, viz.: Frost, Ruddock (P), Mitchell, Shepherd, Corry, Thompson (J), and Ruddock (G), and in conclusion we would like to send our best wishes for a safe return to all Old Peterites in the Forces. F.L.D. SCHOOL HOUSE. This Term started in a rather disappointing manner, with the loss of both the Boating and Cricket Cups, but later in the term we had more success, winning the House Shooting average with the highest average on record, and narrowly losing the team shooting to Temple. Finally a House section under Leigh won the Section competition. Congratulations to all concerned. After gaining a substantial lead in the swimming standards, we lost the Kazerooni Cup by the narrow margin of three points at the Swimming Sports. We were unlucky because Leigh, Captain of Swimming, was unable to swim in the sports. It was with great regret that we learnt John Garnham (School House, 1936-40) was missing from a big raid on Cologne. We offer our deepest sympathies to his parents, and we hope that news of him will be forthcoming. Looking back over the year we cannot feel it has been very successful. However, we must take into account that on the average the House has been young, and that at the beginning of the year some of our most promising material entered the Manor. There are, none the less, encouraging signs for the future. P.F.T. TEMPLE HOUSE NOTES. This term Temple has shown signs of improvement in every direction. Our first IV gave us a fine start by winning the Boating Cup from the Rise. The shooting team, led by Hey, won the Challenge Cup, and Hey himself won the cup for the best individual shot. We reached the finals in the Cricket and Tennis matches, but were beaten in both by the Rise. The cricket was notable for the excellent bowling of Mountain and Eastwood, and the tennis for the admirable performance of Bulmer and Andrew, who remained unbeaten throughout. We were successful in the Swimming Sports, defeating School House by 118 points to 115. The Hobbies Cup was won for Temple by Terry, with a superb model of the L.N.E.R. locomotive, "St. Peter's School." Evidence of the growing importance of the House is provided by the plans now being made for new accommodation at 1 St. Peter's Grove, by the inauguration of an embellishment fund, previously granted to the Boarding Houses only, and by the knowledge that full day-boarders are to be admitted to Temple next term. It seems, at last, that Temple is on the upward path. Those of us who are leaving offer our best wishes to those who remain that the progress will continue. J.M.B. OXFORD CUP, 1942-43. Once again the Oxford Cup has been won by the Rise, with too points as against the 5o gained by Temple, who were the runners-up. The following is a completed record of the year's activities. It was not found possible to hold the Junior Boating and Boxing Competitions. 13

MUSICAL SOCIETY. As might be expected in this term of light evenings, there have been no great activities of the Society this term. At the end of the term, however, the following boys were appointed to next year's committee : H. Brown, Hick, Hart, Swale, J. D. Dench and Tung. F. L. Duffield was appointed Secretary for the forthcoming term.

THE NATURAL SCIENCE SOCIETY. Committee : Chairman : J. T. WALL, Esq., M.A., B.Sc. Secretary : T. B. BOULTON. Dr. B. G. WHITMORE, M.A., B.Sc. On Wednesday, July 21st, an excellent lecture with demonstrations on "The Cathode Ray Oscillograph" was presented at an open meeting of the Society. The demonstrations were by A. Calder and J. Spink, while K. Harper delivered the lecture. Harper cleverly built up a diagram of the oscillograph and its circuits, starting with an electrically heated wire emitting electrons thermionically. He then described the uses of the instrument. The demonstrations included the formation of "Lisazou's" figures by comparison of two electrical frequencies; deflection of the rays in electric and magnetic fields ; timing by electrical impulses, and the testing of the purity of a note. A "Neon lamp linear time-base" had been constructed. Both the lecture and the demonstrations were excellently organized and presented. T.B.B. 14

THE LIBRARY. Librarian : L. BURGESS, Esq., M.A. Assistant Librarians : G. WILSON, P. F. TEE, J. M. BANISTER, J. D. TAYLOR-THOMPSON, A. H. TERRY, T. B. BOULTON. Once again with the arrival of the Summer Term the librarians have been busy with the annual stock-taking. The number of books missing was not large. In the last year the number of missing volumes has been considerably reduced, and it is hoped that this improvement will be maintained. The following books have been added to the library

J.T.C. NOTES. This term we have had more than our usual number of ceremonial parades. The corps attended a Church Parade at the Minster on Empire Youth Sunday and also took part in a parade and display on Youth Day of the York Wings For Victory Week. Besides this, we were inspected in our normal work by MajorGeneral Shears, who expressed satisfaction on many points and also gave some very useful criticism. We have also had two days "in the field." In one, our Field-Day proper, we carried out an exercise in the Overton district north of the School. The other day, July 23rd, was taken by the section competition, won by a School House section under Cpl. Leigh, who was also the best SectionCommander. The day after that a party of about forty of the senior cadets went on a very interesting visit to the Northern Command R.E.M.E. workshops. We cannot finish this description of the work of the J.T.C. without a reference to our new obstacle course, designed and built by our "P.T. Experts," which has been a source of great pride to us, and which is so good that the army has requested permission to use it.

A.T.C. NOTES. This term instruction had gone on as usual under the guidance of Mr. W. S. Moore, who has spared no pains to provide an attractive programme. Early in the term a series of excellent lectures was given by Dr. Whitmore, who succeeded 15

in clearing up several of the more confusing aspects of air navigation, and we feel that he also succeeded in arousing a definite interest in what is, after all, one of the most absorbing sides of air training. Instruction in Morse has been given by Mr. F. Allen, an instructor who has already gained a great repute among other A.T.C. Squadrons, and as a result of his extremely thorough methods, many cadets have become quite proficient both at receiving and sending messages. There have been two visits to neighbouring air stations, both of which proved most instructive and, to say the least, very interesting indeed. We also took part in both the "Youth Sunday" and the "Wings for Victory" parades, so that we have had our full share in external activities this term. At the end of term we had to say good-bye to Flt.-Sgt. McKinlay, who had done a great deal during the short period he has held this rank. It is with still more regret that we learn that the School A.T.C. may cease to exist in the near future, as it is generally thought best for the School to concentrate its energies on the J.T.C. in comparison with which the A.T.C. is very much in the minority.

HOME GUARD. With the advent of summer the Home Guard has once more sprung into prominence. The platoon has finally been fully equipped, but was unfortunately unable to take part in the Home Guard birthday celebrations. Several extremely interesting parades have been held this term. Perhaps the one which will be most remembered, not because of its interest, but because of the unending downpour to which the platoon was subjected for 7 hours, was the Sunday spent on the open ranges at Strensall. Neither will the various points of the fine art of stretcher-bearing, which we learnt while carrying stretchers across ploughed fields on the hottest day of the year, be forgotten in a harry. Towards the end of term the battalion sports were held and the platoon is justly proud of the part it played in winning the Challenge Shield for "B" Company. Hart and Godsmark ran exceptionally well. The following promotions have been made :L/Cpl. Dench to be Cpl. Pts. Caley and Godsmark to be L/Cpls.

SCOUTING. The principal event of the term was the Rally, which was held on Saturday, June 5th, on the occasion of the visit of Lord Somers to York. In the morning the P.Ls. and Seconds joined with other York Scouts in lining the City Wall opposite the station to greet the Chief Scout on his arrival. Every member of the Troop took an active part in the Rally in the afternoon. A team from the Beaver Patrol won the fire-lighting and water-boiling race. On the following afternoon the Troop attended the Scout Service in the Minster, which was followed by a March Past in Duncombe Place, the salute being taken by the Chief Scout. In the evening the P.Ls. went to King's Manor to meet the Chief in person. On Sunday, May 16th, the Troop attended a service at the Minster on the occasion of Empire Youth Sunday. During the term four week-end camps were held. The experience gained at these camps proved of considerable value at the Troop camp held at Coulton at the end of the term. The weather was very good and the week passed all too quickly. 16

The Senior Inter-patrol Competition was won by the Beaver Patrol with

68 points. The Otter Patrol was 8 points behind. On the combined results

of the competitions held during the year, the Beaver Patrol won the Scout Shield.

1st Class Badges have been gained by P.Ls. Moreton and Dook, Secs. Edinger and Dixon, Scts. Tate, Bown, Drummond, Hardisty, and Amos, J. H. Proficiency Badges have been gained as follows : Athlete—P.L. Lee, Scts. Smith, Cameron, Mortimer, Amos. S. H. ; Friend to Animals—P.Ls. Thomas and Dodgson, Sec. Graham, Sct.

SHOOTING. This term there has been no Inter-School Shooting. News was, however, received at the beginning of term that the School had gained first place in the County of Lancaster league in which the team had been shooting throughout the previous term. Hey and his victorious team are to be congratulated on winning all their matches. Despite the fact that no matches have been shot there has been great activity at the range. Once again Sergeant-Major Puddick has organized the annual shooting competition, and the results were very gratifying. School House won the House average cup with an average score of 56.4. School House are to be congratulated especially as for the first time since the institution of the cup the average exceeded the first-class shot score. R. T. Hey won the Individual shot with a score of 78 and Chadwick won the Recruits Cup with 73, after a tie with Peel. We must record our thanks to Sergeant-Major for the gift of a Cup for Annual competition for the best recruit. Detailed results are :— House Shooting Cup—Temple. House Average—School House. Individual Shot—R. T. Hey (78). Best Recruit—F. J. Chadwick (73). 1st Competition Group and Snap-1st, Hey ; Wilson, G. ; McPherson ; Weighill. 2nd, Wilson, G. ; Banister, J.

CRICKET, 1943• This season was one of continuous disappointment. The eleven was not expected to be quite as strong as in, the two previous seasons, but was capable of much better cricket than it produced in matches. The batting was patchy and often lacking in enterprise, save for one grand hour against Durham, when Stratton and Steele gave a superb exhibition which gave us a glimpse of what might have been, but seldom was. The bowling was steady, but not brilliant, and would have been more effective if backed up by first class fielding. To sum up, the eleven never recovered from a poor start and lacked that fighting spirit so essential to success. 17

The House matches produced very keen games, with the Rise successful in the Senior and the Manor in the Junior. Outstanding features were Steele's hard hit, but by no means faultless century for the Rise, and the grand fight put up by Temple in the Senior games. TABLE OF RESULTS. Team.

Runs came slowly before an accurate, but not deadly Worksop attack. With 9 runs on the board, Stratton was well caught and a short partnership between Caley and Steele brought the score to 22, when the latter was bowled by Hall. Wickets now began to fall quickly and the scoreboard soon read 39 for 9. The final score was .53, after a few overs of brisk hitting by Murray and Duffield. There was still half an hour before lunch, in which the Worksop opening pair played steadily for 14 runs. After lunch, runs came quickly and Worksop passed our total with 9 wickets in hand.

Leeds won the toss, and decided to bat on rather a hard wicket. The game began sensationally, Denholm bowling Walton with the first ball of the match. The second wicket fell in the next over, and soon Leeds were 13 for 3. Then C. Aber and Davis stayed together, and a good 23 not out by Embleton later on helped to retrieve the situation and the innings closed at 108. Denholm and Burton were largely responsible for the steady attack of St. Peter's, and Wood bowled a consistent length at very little cost. St. Peter's began with a good opening stand by Caley and Stratton, and the Leeds attack did little to cause them any trouble. At 36, Stratton was bowled by Davis, and with only 5 more runs on the board, Leigh was run out. Steele made a quick 13, and was followed by Hobson. Caley, who had batted very well up to this time, fell a victim to Embleton, but the issue was no longer in doubt, and St. Peter's still had 4 wickets in hand when they passed the Leeds total.

Result : lost by 64 runs. Bootham batted first on a good wicket, and three quick wickets fell after an opening stand of 20 runs. Then Hawkins and Gaudie came together, putting on over 50 runs for the fourth wicket. The St. Peter's bowlers were rather ineffective, and it was left to Steele to break up the partnership with a high catch off Shardlow's bowling. Gaudie, however, still kept his wicket intact, and it was not until the score reached 117 that he was finally run out. He had made a careful 65. The innings finally closed at 148. The School bats found the Bootham attack too good for them, and before long the first five wickets had fallen for 14 runs. Penniston and Steele stayed longer than their predecessors, but the School were 33 with 9 wickets down. Denholm and Murray indulged in some brighter cricket, but they could not hope to make the necessary runs, and the final total was 68. Scores :— BOOTHAM SCHOOL. Anderson, c. Penniston, b. Burton ...

Westwood, 6 for 21. 23rd June. ST. PETER'S v. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE. Result : lost by 6 wickets. Ampleforth won the toss and put the School in to bat on a "sticky" wicket. Once again, the St. Peter's bats failed to produce the necessary standard. Wickets fell with surprising regularity, the only people able to face the opposition being Caley (15) and Penniston (31). The latter gave a good display of hitting and did much to put the School score up to 101. Ampleforth, after losing a quick first wicket, showed that the score could only go one way. Vaughan and Hespe brought the score to 61 for 2 wickets. Three wickets fell for 7 runs, but Ampleforth recovered, passing our score without further loss. Hespe batted very well for a sound 77.

26th June. ST. PETER'S v. BRADFORD GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Result : lost by 68 runs. This match saw a surprising failure on the part of the School to take advantage of a favourable position. Our bowlers did not not meet with really serious opposition and the Bradford wickets fell quite regularly. until the innings closed at 99. The Bradford attack was accurate, but there was nothing in the bowling which should have troubled the School. However, the bowling of Harland and Parker proved to much for the School, who collapsed.

ST. PETER'S v. DURHAM SCHOOL.

The School showed a decided improvement in its batting in this game, and after two wickets had fallen for 13, Stratton and Steele made a century partnership, which ended when the former was caught for 53. Four wickets now fell for 23 runs, and just before lunch, Steele was run out, with a brilliant 72 to his credit. After lunch, Wood and Denholm provided some brisk batting, and the School were eventually all out for 181. Durham began slowly, and only 88 runs came, for the loss of 6 wickets, in the two hours before tea. Bellis and Pearson, however, opened out, and their partnership brought the score to 133. The game now became tense, and it was, thanks to the accuracy of our attack, that the last three Durham batsmen were unable to make the necessary runs. Pearson carried his bat for a dashing 64.

ROWING. This term we have had to row both our House Races and our usual School fixtures. Owing to this unfortunate state of affairs the 2nd IV Boat Races had to be cancelled. Accounts of both House and School fixtures appear below. HOUSE BOAT RACES-49th and loth May, 1 943. The semi-finals of the House Boat Races took place on Wednesday, 19th May, when Temple House beat the Manor by length and the Rise beat School House by t f lengths. The final, rowed the next day, proved to be one of the best races fot many years, as Temple only won by a canvass, after a magnificent finish in which Rise pulled up nearly a length in the last too yards :— The crews were as follows :—

Temple House : Bow, J. I. Moyes ; 2, A. Calder ; 3, J. D. Ward ; Stroke, P. G. R. Dench ; Cox, D. A. Harker.

Rise : Bow, J. C. Robson ; 2, D. C. Thompson ; 3, H. C. Robson ; Stroke, T. F. Morris ; Cox, K. W. Wilson.

RACES v. DURHAM SCHOOL.—t6th June, 1943. These races took place at home and the School crews had the advantage of familiar boats and course. In the 1st IV Race, the School won the toss and took the Station side of the River. After a shaky start the School pulled up, steadily and, after a crab in the Durham boat at the York City Boat House, carried on quite steadily to a win by If lengths. In the 2nd IV race the School again had the Station side of the River, but lost by one length, probably owing to the fact that they had not had enough experience as a crew. RACES v. LEEDS UNIVERSITY.-3oth June, 1943. These races also took place at home. The 2nd IV, rowing the Leeds 3rd IV, took the far side of the River. The Leeds crew pulled ahead at the start and from then the race was keenly contested by both crews, and either might have been the ultimate winner. Finally the, School won by 3 feet after a really magnificent race.\ In the 1st IV race, the School crew pulled ahead soon after the start and increased their lead quite regularly, to win finally by 4 lengths. •••

SWIMMING. The weather this term has not favoured any extraordinary activity in the baths, and the fact that very few P.T. periods were devoted to swimming has made this sport still more of a spare-time activity. Nevertheless, teams have competed with Bootham and Ampleforth, where the successes of the junior sections of the teams augur well for the future. The Swimming Sports were held on the last day of term and the Kazerooni Cup was won by Temple. Detailed results are published below.

TENNIS. There has been no Inter-School Tennis this term, and the only match has been against the staff. Tennis, none the less, has been very popular. In the House tennis the Rise beat the Manor and Temple beat School House, mainly because of the very steady play of the Temple 1st string and the excellent recovery which their 2nd string, Sheriff and Garth, made by beating the Manor 1st string, after having lost to the 2nd string. In the finals the Rise beat Temple by 5 games to 4. Despite the excellent play of Temple's first string the necessary support in the 2nd and 3rd strings was lacking, the second string being able to beat only the Rise 3rd string. to 4.

The only School match played was against the Staff and was lost by 5 games 25

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL. St. Olave's assembled for the Summer Term on May xst, but the wea -1,

duringthealysofMwntalsumer-ik,nfactoMyl there was a light covering of snow, and we all felt very cold. However, we we-, not thinking very much of Cricket as practice for the Sports was in - progreS2 The idea of standards and points for the Houses was introduced, and this cause•; much competition. Our Sports were held on Friday, May 21st, and it was a very nice fine day, such a contrast from last year. We would like to mention how very well the Sports field was arranged and set out for us, many thanks to the groundsman, Mr. Wallbank. Mrs. Hutchinson, of Newark-on-Trent, mother of the senior boarder, kindly presented the prizes—again Savings Stamps. The Etruscans won the most points and thus qualify for the first name on the Sports Shield. Old Olavites will be interested to know that the division of the Junior School into four groups or "houses", viz the Etruscans, Spartans, Thebans, and Trojans is "catching on" quite well, and is a most useful basis of competition in all games. Points are awarded for first and second team games in each house, and we hope to have shields hung in the entrance lobby with the name of the House with most points in each game inscribed on it yearly. Thebans were top in rugger last season, and Trojans are top in Cricket this term. In the St. Peter's School Scholarship examination, R. L. Hutchinson was successful in gaining an award and also two intermediate Olavites who had just gone up—J. H. Dobson and W. S. Samuels. Ian Daniel was successful in winning a West Riding Minor Scholarship which he can hold at St. Olaves'. R. C. Wheway passed the Common Entrance examination into Shrewsbury School. We are pleased to record these successes and congratulate the winners, and we would also like to congratulate John Cadell, who left us a year ago, on his success in passing into Dartmouth. The following boys won prizes for Nature Study work done in the Easter holidays :—Form Ji., r, D. Kellett ; 2, M. Kidson. Form Jii., r, F. D. Browne ; 2, A. Gunning. Form Jiii., r, D.

Bainton for the very good progress, we should like specially to thank Mis useful help she has frequently given to beginners in the water. The Swimming Sports were held on July 23rd, and we were again very fortunate in having a fine sunny day. Mrs. J. D. Shearsmith, mother of one of our oldest day boys in the School, kindly presented the prizes to the winners given below. ST.

ST. OLAVE'S SPORTS. Sports were run on an Inter-House basis for the first time this year. Standard Times were introduced, so that every boy in the School had a chance of gaining points for his house by obtaining a High or Low Standard. Etruscans are to be congratulated on being the first House to win the Athletic Shield, which now hangs in the Junior School building. Trojans were the runners-up. Results were as follows :1, Graham ; 2, Broadley. 1, Brindley ; 2, Cass. 1, Jackson, P. ; 2, Knowles. 1, Graham and Hutchinson. 1, Cameron ; 2, Rymer.

ST. OLAVE'S CRICKET.

Scores have been on the low side this season, but we have thoroughly enjoyed our cricket again. There was one bright spot. Faced by Grosvenor House School's score of 136 on the Harrogate ground, we eventually made 150, Oliver contributing a captain's innings of 69 out of 85, assisted by Wood (3o), Stuart )k. (1 4), and Metcalfe (14). Bowling generally has been erratic, though Cass shows promise. Stuart's fielding at silly mid-on has been well worth watching. We should like to take the opportunity of thanking Mr. Roberts, the senior school coach, for his untiring zeal in correcting our faults at the nets every week. We hope this innovation has come to stay. The House final, played on the "square", resulted in Trojans beating Etruscans by 22 runs. Hutchinson bowled well. RESULTS. Grosvenor House .. (for 8 dec.)
