THE PETERITE

It Vol. LX FEBRUARY, 1968 No. 377

EDITORIAL It has been the purpose of The Peterite to present its readers, three- quarters of whom are old boys of the School, with a chronicle of events past, and a schedule of coming occasions. iBoth admirable aims and it should be our continued aim to better both these things. To be successful, the chronicle should acquaint its readers with as full a picture as possible. The Old Boy should be in touch with current trends of thought and the activities which express them; the present boy should have the chance to appraise his part in affairs, which are in these pages gathered as it were in miniature. How well we succeed is questionable. Questionable, first, on economic grounds. A 10% rise in production costs stems from devaluation and is something to take serious account of. The new paper will to some extent offset this (and incidentally give scope for better illustrative coverage of events, to which end a School press group is now operating and line drawing is encouraged). But it is financially naive to suppose that one can countenance certain long-winded sections of this magazine to the detriment of a full picture elsewhere. Questionable, too, at a deeper level. For the bare skeleton of factual summaries, which are its aim, lacks the flesh of comment and lively opinion which belong to them in life. It is difficult for events to live without people; difficult to evaluate a school without the attitude of its members. We become, in fact, servants to the "written Fact", licensed to interpret its meaning as best we may catch its reflection of the mirrored movement of school life. The chronicle is a study in grey, dangerous because it may mislead. From the relative coverage it gives to events, this or that event becomes the more momentous. We continue to report our major sports at luxurious length—have you ever thought, by the way, how hard that word "major" hits at the very notion of sport? Yet, the point is not that this information is to a large extent duplicated in the national Press for those who follow these things, but that this lack of balance will exclude mention of other vital aspects. "Dieu parmi nous" (*) will not strike a chord with many, but in the true estimate of our character as a school, commands the highest honour. You cannot compare the assiduous study of an A.R.C.O. with the training put in by a team, but you can, unless you want to kid everyone, ensure that each has a mention. Some small innovations in this issue may have helped to readjust this balance, but it should be known that the present form of The Peterite is inhibiting. Most of us here would welcome some reduction in, for instance, sports coverage or House notes. A majority view of staff aid boys is not flattering to our present study in grey. It was disappointing, therefore, to find in the Old Peterite Committee, whose heads may well be buried "sub antiquis viis", an aversion to change and a distrust for the critical CONTENTS PAGE

The present issue will be seen to have introduced a preface to our Society life, which is both full and vigorous. The same is intended for the Sports section of the next issue in an attempt to high- light activity which may then be allowed to speak for itself in more abbreviated form. And in order to make this magazine more relevant to our life, this editorial will in future reflect a synopsis of views of senior boys and staff meeting in open forum at the end of term. Encouragement should be given to comment and opinion in all quarters, as well as to informative articles designed to keep the Old Peterites more closely in touch. If this redress of balance provokes thought, the Editor will welcome your views. Finance is everywhere with us and has suggested reducing our going to print only twice in the year, in order to give the full presentation which these notes have implied. But that is another matter. Where thoughts of change spring to mind, none are more respected than those who have built their shelves to fit The Peterite, to whom these pages are unashamedly sentimental, and whose warmth of genuine interest compels attention. We acknowledge receipt of our contemporaries with thanks and appreciation. () Voluntary by Messiaen, played in Chapel on 17th December.

SCHOOL NOTES Mr D K Exham's appearance was noted in the last Peterite as successor to Mr. Wells. In other spheres than mathematics he has been active; as Assistant Housemaster to School House, as chorister, debater and referee. He commenced full-time duties this term. * * * Mr. R. T. Pullin joined the staff to take over where Mr. Austin left off. His enthusiasm to extend the scope of Russian in the School is remarked elsewhere and the motorists have taken him to heart. * * * "Get thee to a nunnery"—Mary Mason left with us an oak stool in Chapel, as if we would forget her long years of service. It was her gift when she left to be with her mother and incidentally to continue teaching within the convent school Of her village (Downderry, Beach Road West, Portishead, Nr. Bristol). We shall much miss her warm personality. * * * Two ladies grace the common room, Mrs. Heddle teaching French and Mrs. Vernon doing Spanish. Both have husbands at the University. * * * In retirement "J.D." is far from retiring. His nearly full-time job is to do with the Covenant scheme for the Minster Appeal Fund. And incidentally his son Patrick is recently engaged. * * * The School again welcomed a party of visitors from the Commonwealth in October, certainly beneficial for us and, we hope, entertaining for them. * * * A talk on the Merchant Navy was given by Commodore D. R. P. Gun-Cuninghame, O.B.E., on 12th October. * * * Increased freedom to use town leave was granted by the Headmaster in mid-term, along with the abolition of the brown jacket for all Sixth-formers. Next term the house monitor, stripped of his distinguishing jacket, gets a rebate in the form of a select number of weekends spent at home. 4 Probably all the Girls' schools in the district have in one way or another touched upon our activities in the course of term; as actresses in the School production, as participants in science talks, as carollers formal and informal —and, of course, as dancing partners. * * * "Welcome Our Messias", a speech drama, written and produced by Mr. R. J. Anderson, deservedly got a great reception in York. * * * A splendidly successful concert was given by the Music Society at the end of term. We hope for more. A report appears below. * * * Of fifteen candidates for •Oxbridge this term, ten gained acceptance, four as Open Exhibitioners. * * * The final of House Rugger was deferred by frost. An eagerly-awaited (and prolifically well advertised) match with Loretto was similarly dispatched on break-up Monday. The Colts and 3rd XV have had good success. * * * Chapel Services on weekday mornings have changed shape and re- introduced the topical readings which went down so well last Lent. * * * A fine concert was given in Hall by the York Symphony Orchestra on 16th November, under the batons Of Francis Jackson and Frederic Waine. * * * Dates of term are altering in line with the earlier start of G.C.E. examinations. The Summer Term runs from 23rd April to 15th July, and the School reopens on 10th September. * * * The School looks forward to another Careers Convention in March. Mr. D. Hirst is now assisting Mr. K. G. Coulthard. * * * Mr. P. G. Croft will be away this term for work on the Nuffield Classics Project. He has a scholarship at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. * * * Assorted Squash players from the staff, arrayed in teams to suit the occasion, have in turn defeated Ampleforth masters, the Squashbucklers, and a team of 13 boys. * * * Congratulations—P. R. H. Blackford, Yorkshire Schoolboys Rugger trial. * * * Our thanks again to the Herald Printers for machinery given to the School in January. It offers an exciting prospect; we shall comment later on its success. 5 ACADEMIC SUCCESSES We congratulate the following on awards at Cambridge in December :— A. G. Bird—Exhibition at St. Catharine's College. A. M. Bowie—Exhibition (top in Exhibition Class) at Emmanuel College. R. W. J. Dingwall—Exhibition at St. John's College. P. T. Summers—Exhibition at Corpus Christi College. Of 15 entrants in the scholarship examinations to Oxford and Cambridge 10 secured places, the above being included. The others are: —Holgate (St. John's), Macleod (Worcester) and Rutherford (Trinity) at Oxford; and Hardie (Magdalene), Mackinder (Clare), McGrath (St. Catharine's) at Cambridge.

HOUSE NOTES DRONFIELD HOUSE The House welcomed Mr. Pullen as Assistant Housemaster at the beginning of term. He is the fifth master to 'fill the post in three years, somewhat of a record in the School's history. Also joining the House were Lewis McKeon from America, staying for one year, and twelve juniors. A junior pupil from Thailand, Vorapote Utamote. The House has had considerable success on the games field, the emphasis, at all levels, being on effort. In the ill-fated School House matches we were drawn against Queen's who after defending very well for 50 minutes, succumbed to our superior fitness, allowing us to score 11 points without reply. The semi-final with Temple was played in poor conditions, and the House's lack of finesse led to a pointless draw even after extra time had been played. Adverse weather conditions prevented any further play in the competition. The glory of the term must go to the Senior House League Team, who with only eight players to choose from, played some sparkling 'Rugger. Indeed, their record of played 5; won 6; points for 210; against 14; shows their prowess. The entire house deserves some credit for their success as the support of some of the games gave Bumper Castle III a Twickenham air, and quite flabbergasted some opponents: For their magnificent displays of the finer arts of the game the House awarded the team the "Dawood Plate". Determination has not been confined to the senior part of the House. The Junior Team, ably led by R. P. Taylor, put up a good fight against a strong Queen's team, the eventual cup-winners, to lose 11-3. In the league the Junior team scored some memorable victories. N. L. Brockbank deserves credit for his centre play and captaining of the side. Once again the House supported the team whenever possible. In connection with supporting House events, special mention must be made of the Seniors, who after a flowery start to the term did many commendable things. The House Chess had one game against Temple and were defeated 3-1. Mention must be made of the carol-singing held in the hall on the last Saturday night of term. Organised by T. M. Day, it met with considerable success and was supported by the majority of the House. Finally, we must bid farewell to three members of the House, I. R. D. McGrath, P. R. H. Macarthey and E. M. Holgate, and thank them for all they have done in the past. We congratulate them on their successes in gaining University places and wish them every success in the future. We should particularly like to thank McGrath for the vigorous and sympathetic lead he has given as Head of House.

9 THE GROVE At the beginning of the year, unfortunately Mr. Harding's last in the Grove, we welcomed Mr. Hirst as Assistant Housemaster and we hope he has a happy and successful stay with us. Eleven Monitors were appointed under Richardson as Head of House and thirteen Juniors, four of them day-boarders, joined us. On the games field the term has been most successful despite no addition to the cups on the already crowded shelf. Both Senior and Junior rugger teams reached the final but were foiled by the weather and a strong Queen's Junior team respectively. A mention must be made of the enthusiastic leadership of Scott who has spent much of his time with both teams. The House was well represented in the successful school play. The complicated and well-constructed set was largely the work of Robinson, in his second year as stage manager, and on the acting side Bleach and Stansfield performed commendably. Next term it is hoped to produce a House play and to maintain the high standard of past Grove plays. Unfortunately the standard of tidiness in the House has slipped this term and more effort must be made in the future to lead a less disorganised existence. Work, especially among junior members of the House, also needs to improve. Finally we say goodbye to Waller and Robinson, thank them for all they have done for the House and wish them well in the future.

THE MANOR At the beginning of the term A. G. Bird was appointed Head of House and D. R. Ballinger a School Monitor, K. Morris and B. D. Pugh joined P. R. H. Blackford and C. A. Les as House Monitors. J. W. P. Fairclough and G. A. W. Stewart also joined the latter at half term. The House fielded two promising teams in the House Rugger competi- tions but both were narrowly beaten by the Grove in the semi-fmals. The Senior team, captained by P. R. H. Blackford, convincingly beat School House in the first round, but succumbed in the semi-final to the Grove, in a good match. A. G. Bird, M. J. H. Fisher, K. Morris and G. A. W. Stewart were awarded House Colours for this- and services in other fields. The Junior team, captained by P. Holmes, recorded a good win over the Rise, but were beaten by the Grove in the semi-final. After this match J. A. L. Whittaker and R. L. Elsy were awarded Junior House Colours. The House Chess team, captained by R. F. Cawood beat the Rise in the first round and meet Temple in the semi-final next term. The House was only represented behind the scenes in the School Play, but it is hoped to produce a House Play, fast becoming a tradition in the House, next term. Finally A. G. Bird, D. R. Ballinger and J. M. Paterson leave us this term and we thank them and wish them all the best in the future. 10 QUEEN'S HOUSE At the end of last term C. A. Wood was appointed Head of House; Benn, M. K. Bowen, J. E. Dickinson and Ferguson were appointed House Monitors and were joined by R. W. J. Dingwall shortly after the beginning of term. This term we welcomed ten new juniors to the House and Marson, a 2nd year senior, who has since been appointed House Captain (of swim- ming). There are now sixty-one boys in the House. In the Senior House rugger competition we were narrowly beaten by Dronfield in a very exciting match. The Junior team, however, proved to be really outstanding, beating Dronfield and Temple to reach the final. The final against Grove was drawn 3-all, with Queen's suffering from injuries to three of the team. The replay saw our team almost back to full strength and Queen's came out the convincing winners over their old rivals, the score being 14-3. This was a real team effort and the rest of the House lent their support with some of the most vigorous cheering heard at School for a long time. If this sort of spirit prevails throughout the year, then the Junior House Rugger will be only the first of many successes. In the House leagues also we have had a good season, the Junior team going unbeaten through all their matches. In School Rugger teams we have been well represented, notably having four boys in the unbeaten Senior Colts team—surely a good sign for the future. Boys from Queen's still hold a near monopoly in the School Fencing team and special mention must go to Miller who had a good season in competitions and was awarded his Colours. Within the House numerous activities have flourished, these include the Junior Debating Society and other such activities as Chess, Badminton and notably Table Tennis. The House Football Club is prospering and is soon to compete in a York knock-out competition. The House Play is now under way and we hope to see it played next term, which in many other ways will be a busy one for the House. Scholastically this has been a good term and we wish every success to Dingwall and Ferguson on the results of their interviews at Cambridge. We have only one leaver this term—J. A. S. Benn, who is going into the wine trade. We would like to thank him for all that he has done for the House, especially on the games side, and to wish him every success in the future.

THE RISE At the beginning of the term the Rise received its customary batch of nine Juniors, while Shannon, Russell, Pace and Rawlings were made House Monitors, I. M. MacLeod was made a School Monitor and Mackinder became Head of House. In the sporting field the Rise achieved some of the near-successes to which the House is so liable. Despite the pessimism of some members of the House, we lost to the Grove by only nine points, and showed much spirit, although to be fair the Grove side was not on peak form. In the league matches, too, which are becoming more and more important to us, we lost only one out of five matches, finishing up overall second. But the 1 1 fact remains that we recorded no victories, although we hope that the two Under 14 Colts in the Juniors are a sign that better things are to come. We would also like to congratulate McAinch on gaining his 2nd XV Colours while still only a Senior Middle, and Linsley, who has gained his 1st XV Colours in his first term with us.

In the work field the Rise is still occupying a high place in the tables, and it is good to see so many Risites gaining merits or consistently improving their places in form. Is it too much to hope for final victory in the summer?

The School Play was one of the high spots of the term, and no less than five out of the cast of fourteen were Risites; special mention must be made of Houghton's exuberant performances as Timothy, and this supply of acting talent in the House promises well for the House Play next term. There were also a large number of Risites who helped or hindered in various capacities backstage, thus also gaining valuable experience for next term.

The most important communal event in the House was the House Concert, held in the middle of term. Each year provided a "turn", we had a guest singer to add a little variety to the all-male atmosphere, while Mr. Cummin's ecclesiastical improvisations on the discipline card provided a fitting climax to a memorabe evening.

Finally, while wishing goodbye to Rawlings and Mackinder who are leaving us this term, we look forward to the 50th Anniversary of the foundation of the Rise, which we hope will occur with due pomp and ceremony at the beginning of next term.

SCHOOL HOUSE In what way does one measure a house's success in a term? If it is in sporting achievement, then School House cannot collectively claim success —we were thoroughly wiped out in the first round of both Junior and Senior Rugger—however, individually, D. Doyle and K. Sargeant won their 1st XV Colours, Jervis his 2nd XV Colours and Goodrick his Senior Colts Colours. But we have not been entirely idle; Squash flourishes, particularly in the Junior part of the House; our team swimmers disappear on average twice a week, preparing, we hope, to retain the cup for a third year. As is usually the case, we played a large part in the School Play on stage and behind it acting, painting the set, constructing the act and playing in the orchestra. We also released Mr. Exham to be the assistant producer and he, in turn, is threatening to produce a House Play next term. As usual we have a large number of boys in the Choir. The Madrigal Group venture with Queen Margaret's and "Welcome our Messias", a voice— drama in aid of the Minster Appeal, were also strongly School House supported. 12 At the beginning of term we returned to find that we now possess a kitchen, complete with two-ring heater and washing-up facilities. It is the envy of less civilised houses. We started the term without Shah, Sherlaw and Kemp, Sherlaw soon arrived and has endangered more lives than his own hurtling round on his crutches, Kemp returned at half-term and Shah—whose very existence is doubted by some—has not yet arrived. An extraordinary scene of domestic fervour appeared on a Sunday early in the term when a large cross section of the House attempted to clean the staircase walls. The mess was considerable, the success doubtful and the entertainment very enjoyable. Such pride in the House, is I think, a measure of the success of this term. The House loses Hardie, Wilkinson and Phillips at the end of term and Wilson takes over as Head of House next term.

TEMPLE A. M. Bowie was appointed Head of House and the Monitors were W. R. Copeland, P. B. Rutherford, P. Scaife, P. T. Summers and J. C. Willcock. In Rugby P. T. Summers won his cap, and M. A. Cantrell his 1st XV Colours. Congratulations to them and the many others who represented the School in various teams. A bright star was the performance of our Senior team in the House Competition. Rallying to the mysterious cry of Grumbleweeds, which really had nothing to do with D. B. Hart's remarkable shorts, we held the cup holders to a pointless tie, even after extra time. We all looked forward to the replay and a rash of stickers, which took the attention of study two away from all else one Monday morning, displayed our growing self-confidence. But alas, the weather and the Games Committee combined to thwart us, and the competition was abandoned. The less said about the Senior Leagues the better. Ex spinis uvas? Our Juniors went down with glory to Queen's, the eventual winners of the competition, and in the Leagues, we had more than our fair share of wins, a tribute to the keen play of all. In Squash P. L. Hall and I. Robinson have played for the 1st V and done very well against much older opponents who have been lulled into complacency to their cost by the size of our players. In Fencing P. A. Lockwood has gone from strength to strength, collect- ing trophies galore in his train. We hope to keep the Chess Cup. Four of the monitors took part in a sponsored walk from Leeds to York one night, to raise funds for an Anglican School. They were successful and in wheedling the promised payments from their sponsors, a sum of forty pounds or more was raised. The term ended in academic glory and we congratulate A. M. Bowie on the award of an Exhibition in Classics at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, P. T. Summers an Exhibition in Engineering at Corpus Christi, Cambridge,, and P. D. Rutherford a place at Trinity College, Oxford. We wish then every success in the future. 13 THE CHAPEL The element of change and adaptation is first as important in the sphere of worship as in any other aspect of living. As our Chapel Services are intended to meet the needs of the School as a whole—as far' as that is possible within the wide range of age and experience which is to be found among us—the part of the Chapel Committee is tremendously important. The Committee's first meeting last term was mainly concerned with finance but its second one discussed a wide range of subjects, such as the times of services, their length and nature, possible changes in the lay-out of the Chapel and the use of the new revised Communion Service. As a result there will be a number of changes, Some of which have already begun. In future Sunday Evensong will be at 6.30 in winter as well as in summer. The daily services will .be rather shorter and so far as possible based upon a particular theme. Is is very much hoped that houses will ma'7.e themselves responsible for planning some of them. There will also be a larger proportion of non-Scriptural readings, and the revised Com- munion Services, which have already come into use on weekdays will soon appear also on Sundays. It will be tremendously interesting and helpful to know what people think of these changes after a decent period of trial. Let your representatives on the Chapel Committee have any suggestions. The main events of the Christmas Term 8th Oct. Harvest Thanksgiving. 15th Oct. Sermon by the Rev. R. G. Robinson, Vicar of Clifton. 22nd Oct. Sermon by the Headmaster. 12th Nov.

CHOIR NOTES CHRISTMAS TERM, 1967 The choir was again asked to sing in the Minster for the Yorkshire Harvest Thanksgiving on Oct. 1st, and fulfilled its role competently in an inspiring service. On that day we began our special music in Chapel with the usual starter, "0 Come ye servants of the Lord", of Tye, and the Choir was able to reveal its simple freshness in spite of familiarity. A week later it was our own harvest service and the Choir sang Green's "Thou visitest the earth". The following week there was Mendelssohn's "How lovely are the messengers", which was a happy choice, its flowing line being enjoyed particularly by the gentlemen of the Choir. On the Wednesday of that week, the 18th October, the choir had been invited to sing Evensong in the Minster. As always, we were all grateful at being given the opportunity to sing a Cathedral Service, and the Choir rose to the occasion. We repeated the Mendelssohn Anthem and the service was sung to Walmsley in D minor, which itself was repeated in the Chapel on the 5th and 19th of November. There has been a supply of tenor and bass soloists this term and it was satisfying that the talent could be used at different performances of Walmsley in the solo quartet passage. 14 At Evensong on Remembrance 'Sunday the Choir successfully met the challenge presented by Wesley's "Blessed be the God and Father". In performance we failed to reach the heights achieved in the confidence of rehearsal but it was a good effort, our treble soloists, Walker especially, inspired the rest of us by his musicianly conduct. On the 26th November hard work was rewarded when we sang another large anthem, "0 thou the Central Orb", by Charles Wood. This is an old favourite, but our enthusiasm was rightly tempered and directed sensibly to make a worthwhile performance. The term's Sung Communion was on Advent Sunday and we sang an effective mixture of Merbecke, Byrd's 3-part Mass (the kyrie) and Darke in F (Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei). Our soloists Howat (alto) Baby (tenor) and Cantrell (bass) inspired us to give a lively account of Purcell's "Rejoice in the Lord alway" on the second Sunday in Advent and on the last Sunday of term the climax of the Choir activities was reached in our Carol Service. Apart from the usual music, we sang Walford Davies' arrangement of "0 Little Town", Wilson singing sympathetically the large tenor portion; "Silent Night" was sung by the trebles with Guitar played by Cantrell, repeating a very successful arrangement of two years ago. We sang the carol "The Linden Tree" for the first time, and worked hard at "The Three Kings", by Cornelius. Baby was our impressive soloist. We were all very sorry to lose Mr. 'Mair in the middle of the term. He was not only a great asset to our bass line but a painstdking and inspiring conductor. We were pleased that Mr. Exham was there to take his place,. to enliven the tenor line, and the tenors". It has been an interesting and satisfying term's work.

THE SCHOOL MUSIC The Christmas Concert, 1967, will prove to have been an important milestone in music's progress at St. Peter's. Not only was it the first concert in which members of Queen Margaret's School have taken part jointly with St. Peter's, it was also a concert where performers and audience were clearly determined to enjoy themselves from beginning to end. We look forward to continuing the association with Queen Margaret's in our next ambitious venture, the cantata St. Nicholas, by Benjamin Britten, which is being sung in Chapel at 7 p.m. on the 25th and 26th March. Originally written for the centenary of the Woodard Schools for performance in Lancing College Chapel in 1948, it might almost have been written for our own particular requirements. Britten calls for a largish choir at the East end (in our case, 'St. Peter's and St. Olave's choirs will form the nucleus of a larger body) and a choir of girls' voices in the West gallery. A piano duet (which we can supply ourselves) a string orchestra, organ and percussion complete the instrumental side. The solo tenor part part was written for Peter Pears and is no amateur matter. We are fortunate in having the assistance of Mr. Gordon Pullin for this remarkable part. There is a hymn half way through and another at the end for the congregation/audience to sing. During the Easter Term we also look forward to a visit of the York University Motet Choir, under its conductor 'Peter Aston and a concert of orchestral music given by the members of the Music School of the Huddersfield College of Technology. F.W. 15 WINTER SPORTS, 1968 LECH AM ARLBERG, AUSTRIA On. Tuesday, 4th January, the party boarded the 09.35 train at York station. After changing trains in London we arrived at Folkestone and a about 17.00 our ship, the "Cote d'Azur" sailed into a sea with a slight swell which claimed one member of the party prone to sea-sickness. After a journey of some one and a half hours, watches were adjusted and we passed through the French customs at Calais. Immediately we boarded the train which was to take us through to Langen, the Arlberg Express. After a restless night we awoke to find ourselves in Switzerland, having passed through Basle and Zurich during the night. We soon arrived at. Buchs, the Austrian frontier, where the customs seemed remarkably slack. From there we followed a slow, climbing, zig-zag route through snow- covered mountains and pine forests to Langen. Here we changed into a: motor coach and found that apparently in Austria these coaches rule the road. This particular one was no exception. The route to Lech went over the Flexen Pass (5655 ft.) and in some parts there was a sheer precipice on one side. In other places "shelters" had been built over the road to protect it from avalanches. On arrival at the Hotel Sonneck we settled down to a most welcome lunch which set ,the pattern for the week. The meals were very different from what we were used to, but were very appetising. During the meal we were told that the road from Langen to Lech had been closed, bcause of danger of avalanche and we felt very fortunate to have arrived on time. After lunch we walked into Lech to collect our skis, sticks and boots and after some difficulty we were all fitted out. That evening we were joined by Hargreaves who had arrived from Copenhagen some days earlier. After dinner, the evening was spent playing card games and dominoes and talking to the Scottish barmaid. On Saturday morning we were organised into groups for ski-ing. The beginners had a lesson with a student from Vienna, Rieter. They were shown how to walk, climb slopes and balance on their skis. The more advanced group worked at stem and parallel christies. There was a reorganisaton of the ski-groups on Monday with the more advanced beginners moving up a group. Reiter left to return to his studies and we had the very precise Winderling and the exuberant Manfred as instructors. On Wednesday morning, the more advanced members of the beginners 1 group used the T-bar lift outside the hotel for the first time. During the morning the snow, which had been falling almost continuously since our arrival, ceased and the sun shone, transforming the whole countryside. Cameras came out and we hope to show some of the results in this issue of the Peterite. That evening the thermometer recorded the lowest temperature of the week, —20°C, and the most beautiful of sunsets gave us high hopes for a nice day on Thursday. The next two days brought more snow and on Friday morning Mr. Man had to dig his way into the Haws Wald, where some of the party were sleeping. That morning we handed in our equipment and spent the rest of the day buying presents and souvenirs and waiting for the road to Langen and home to be declared open. Apres Ski activities varied from evenings spent in our own hotel to 16 "LECH 1968" Scenes from "A Penny for a Song" dancing at the big hotels in Lech. The more athletic members, or those who could afford taxis, followed the latter pursuit and at one of these Dickinson won a bottle of wine for intelligent participation in some form of game, and Bleach and Jackson were fourth out of six in the talent competition singing "Bonnie and Clyde". On the final evening a large party, including the staff, enjoyed an evening at the top hotel in Lech. Miss Cilla Black proved to be the biggest attraction but not in an official capacity. Our warmest thanks go to all concerned with making this holiday such a success. J.E.S.

SCHOOL PLAY

"A PENNY FOR A SONG" by JOHN WHITING in the MEMORIAL HALL 7th, 8th and 9th December

The weakness of this play is the lack of unity of plot. There is a serious sub-plot in which characters symbolise and expound Rousseau's political philosophy and the Rights of Man. To interpret these characters or rather ciphers is a thankless task which fell to the lot of Mackinder (and Bleach) Wilson and the ladies. They managed very creditably and can blame their lines if the audience sometimes lost interest. We learn that the British Establishment of the early 19th Century is morally invidious, and deserves to perish before the imminent Napoleonic invasion. This threat inspires some of the Establishment and their lackeys to prepare to resist. These preparations, which constitute the main diver- sion of the play are amusing, and often high farce. The more red blooded characters in this charade are easier to put over, and the Dramatic society made a great success of doing so. Houghton, ready to repulse the French single-handed was often hilarious, particularly when swinging from a balloon or precipitated down a well. He never over- played and was often inspired. Hardie was a comical and convincing dodderer with his contraption of a fire-engine—a superlative stage-prop this, among others. The servants, periwigged and apologetic were amusingly and very capably played by Stansfield—gullible, and Pease—whimsical. The farce does depend on the dramatic situation in the sub-plot, but it does not require the long-winded moralising that belatedly leads up to it and often interrupts and deflates it. 17 To offset this, Mr. Bolton's slick direction, the superb set and costumes and much of the acting were far above what can reasonably be expected of a school production.

CAREERS

On Friday and Saturday, March 15th and 16th, we shall be holding our fourth Careers Convention and Exhibition, starting at 2.00 p.m. on the Friday and 9.30 a.m. on the Saturday. On this occasion the theme will be "Further and Higher Education" and we shall cover as wide a field as possible of the educational opportunities which are available for boys from this school. Thus we shall be dealing with university education, especially choice Of university and choice of university course and we shall be looking at the problem of whether university is always the best answer. Among the speakers in this section will be Mr. B. H. Holbeche, who will be remembered by many Old Peterites as Senior English Master and Housemaster of Queen's. We shall be looking at education through industry and through a profession, and here we will examine the training which is available in these two fields to show that it is possible to become professionally qualified without attending college or university. We shall hear about sandwich courses and also about the courses available at technical colleges and the proposed polytechnics. By this means we shall learn more about the new C.N.A.A. degrees which these colleges are able to award in a wide range of subjects, possibly the most interesting being in business studies. To round off the Convention Mr. J. Wren-Lewis, a well known speaker and theologian, who is engaged in research and development work at the head office of I.C.I., will discuss what lies beyond in the world of work. He is particularly well qualified to talk on this topic and should provide a very stimulating finale for the Convention. As before, we are expecting some fifty employers to be represented at the Convention. Their exhibits should range over the whole field of careers and we have asked them particularly to show how their courses of training offer an education or are integrated with university or college education. At most of the stands there will be representatives who will be only too willing to talk informally to members of the school and their parents. We have found that this informal exchange of information and ideas can be of tremendous value to both sides. 19 A continuous Film Show will include a wide variety of films, some of them directly describing careers, others giving background information to work in industry or a profession. The Northern Secretary of the Public Schools Appointments Bureau will be attending the Convention and will also be ready to talk to boys and their parents informally, and there will be a display of literature from the Bureau and also from the Careers Research and Advisory Centre of Cambridge. C.R.A.C. is particularly concerned with the dissemination of information about universities and their courses, and arrangements will be made for purchase of their literature at the Convention.

C.C.F. NOTES The main new appointments for the term were P. T. Summers as C.S.M., Coxwain Fairhurst in charge of the Royal Navy Section, Sergeant Bleach of the Army Section and Flight Sergeant Willcock of the Royal Air Force Section. Lance Sergeant Bavister, coming to the School from St. Dunstan's College, has started the task of reviving the Signals Platoon, with a good prospect of support from the regular Army. New recruits are now able to start a trial period in the Contingent in the Christmas term instead of the Easter Term, and it is encouraging to find the numbers entering as high as they have ever been under the voluntary system. A larger number opting for the Royal Navy Section is now restoring the balance among the Service Sections. During the term we were given great help by Officers and N.C.O.s of the Depot, The Yorkshire Brigade, particularly in training for the Proficiency Test which was held at Strensall on 12th December. All but one of the candidates were successful, and Cadets C. J. D. Bond, M. G. V. Stephenson and J. A. L. Whittaker gained Credit marks. The Depot Colonel, in his report, said "an excellent standard was apparent in the candidates presented", and it is worth emphasising here that a smart appearance goes a long way towards success in this test. Further help was given by the Brigade Depot in acting as "enemy" in the night exercise organised by Lieutenant Bulcock on Strensall Common. Arduous Training and Army Camp. Arduous Training is planned for 29th March to 5th April in the Brecon. Beacons, but the persistence of Foot and Mouth restrictions may make it necessary for this to be changed to the Osmotherley area of Yorkshire. Army Camp will be at Proteus Camp, near 011erton, Nottinghamshire,. from 15t11 July to 23rd July.

R.A.F. SECTION Recruits to the section were placed on a waiting list as the present strength was at the maximum permissible. A successful night exercise was organised by F/Sgt. Willcock assisted by Sgt. Rutherford and was held in the Strensall training area on Tuesday,. 4th November. 20 r

Air experience flying at R.A.F. Church Fenton took place on the after- noons of Wednesday, 29th November and 6th December and altogether 16 cadets obtained Chipmunk flights. Air experience gliding at R.A.F. Linton-on-Ouse had unfortunately to be postponed because of the weather but there is every hope that it will take place in the Easter Term. J/Cpl. Williamson is to be congratulated on obtaining his gliding certificate B during the summer holidays. Cdt. Harrison constructed a further six models for the aircraft museum and Cdts. Mcllroy, Blackburn and Harris built several engine powered models which they have successfully flown. During the term they have also been in the process of constructing a wind tunnel.

NAVAL SECTION The term began with A.B.s Hudson, Littlefield, Eggleshaw and Marsden being promoted to Leading Seamen and Petty Officer Fairhurst to Coxwain. L/Sea. Nixon was appointed 2 i/c the section; L/Sea. Hudson i/c Stores; and L/Sea. Littlefield i/c Recruits. Early in the term there were several fruitless attempts to sail the dinghy, but in every case the weather thwarted them. In the middle df October any further ideas of sailing were finally abandoned when the dinghy dragged her moorings (our thanks to H.M.S. Safeguard for laying the moorings so securely that they did not break) and rammed Scarborough Bridge. Luckily it was not damaged and was duly recovered and brought up to the Rise area for the winter. It is hoped to get the dinghy into the water as early as possible next term as opposed to the usual custom of waiting until the Summer Term. The two single canoes were finished early this term thanks to the hard work of a few cadets, but work on the remaining double has temporarily stopped because of an apparent lack of interest by most of the Section. This will probably be regretted later in the year when the canoes will be available for private outings. On 17th October our Liason Officer, Lieutenant-Commander Streatfield- James, R.N., paid us a visit and gave a very interesting talk on Commando Carriers, illustrated by a good film. His visit bore visible fruits a few weeks later when a modern copy of "Jane's Fighting Ships" and other books arrived along with an excellent selection of Decca charts. We are extremely grateful to him for all these. Trafalgar Day was marked by dressing ship; an accurate replica of Nelson's famous signal was hoisted. One month later a team of naval divers from H.M.S. Safeguard gave an enlightening display of diving in the swimming baths. It is hoped that this display created interest in Sub-Aqua swimming as this sort of training is open to members of the Section. The same day as the diving display, a set of davits arrived from H.M.S. Safeguard for which we are again grateful to Lieutenant-Commander Streatfield-James. Later in November the Section shared a successful night exercise with part of the Army Section. 21 The week after this, the Advanced Naval Proficiency and Able Seaman's Test were held. The results of A.N.P. will not be known until next term, but the whole of Nelson Division passed the A.B. test, which is a good sign for the future. In this respect Chief Petty Officer Keefe has again been very helpful. During the Summer Holidays, six cadets attended a Quartermaster's Course at H.M.S. Raleigh, and all six passed what is acknowledged as the hardest course run for the C.C.F. At the beginning of the term 19 boys joined the Naval Section of the New Recruits, and since then five more have joined, bringing the total up to 24. G.M.F.

QUARTERMASTER'S COURSE AT H.M.S. RALEIGH 30th JULY-5th AUGUST At various times during Sunday, 30th July, the following cadets (and thirteen from elsewhere) presented themselves at Plymouth station for transport to H.M.S. Raleigh at Torpoint : —P.O. Instrs. Fairhurst and Harrison. A.B.s Littlefield, Hudson, Eggleshaw and Marsden. H.M.S. 'Raleigh is the primary training establishment for all those entering the "lower deck" of the Royal Navy, its equipment and instructors are therefore ideally suited to the training of C.C.F. Cadets. The course was designed to show us just what duties a quartermaster must be able to carry out, and just how numerous these duties are was drilled into us by an expert Sub-Lieutenant and Chief Petty Officer. We were taught how to handle and give orders in power, sailing and pulling boats. A day at sea in a fleet tender (cf. M.F.V.) showed some of us just how easy it is to "chase the lubbers line", and the necessity for a "weather helm". A large portion of time was spent in classrooms, learning the intricacies of charts and chartwork, buoyage and bends and hitches. The course would not, however, have been complete, without an attempt at the assault course; this proving a very sadistic sport for the onlookers. At the end of the course, we took an examination, which all of the St. Peter's cadets passed. G. M. Fairhurst succeeded in coming top and breaking all records with 91 Although this course is classed as one of the most difficult to pass, we had a reasonably early schedule, with two shore-leaves. The food was good and there is a good N.A.A.F.I. on the camp. This course is certainly worth attending for those who seek to gain promotion. P.O. Insts. Harrison R.L.

VENTURE SCOUTS This term saw the beginning of the new training scheme with the publication of the training manual. Organisation has been in - the hands of 22 an executive committee of four elected members. Activities have been voluntary; some members opted out of the Unit at the start, leaving a hard core of vigorous members. Most ambitious of the projects was the undertaking of canoe building in fibre-glass. Outward Bound gave us a typical slalom model from which a mould is being taken. Members of staff have contributed with lectures on car maintenance and rock-climbing. Foot and mouth got the better of the first projected expedition to practice the latter. Woodchopping took place in early term for the sacks which were duly delivered with a carol or two among the poor and aged in the country. Cooking of a more than usually sophisticated kind was instructed by the domestic science mistresses of Queen Anne's on two occasions and shared with their girls. At the end of term a highly successful "cook cum dance" evening was held with two Ranger Units. The Committee handled the advertisement and sale of Charity Christmas cards in the School, some £25 worth, and the Scouts joined with us in two evenings of carol singing for Charity. Visits were also paid to the Sir Winston Churchill training schooner and to a canoe slalom on the Wharfe. Ahead we see an expansion of our activities, particularly in the fields of canoe and mountain activity, and a readiness to share our activities with the district schools and units.

THE SCOUTS This term has seen the introduction of the new training schemes and new uniforms. Numbers finally settled at 32 of which 11 were new to the troop. To keep our numbers down and give other boys a chance to accept responsibility as Patrol Leaders Six of our scouts, who are now 16, will move up into the Venture Scout Section next term. We have not pro- gressed as far as we would have liked with the new training but now that the new Handbooks are here we hope to implement them although the short time available at present will make it difficult to do it thoroughly. New activities this term included visits by the older members to the National Glass Works in York and by the younger scouts to the Fire Station. Both were enjoyed and found to be very instructive.

SOCIAL SERVICE The Editor enquired how this group was getting along. It is loth to broadcast its activities, but did submit the following : "Last term the School group joined Youth Action York, a group run by volunteers to help people in need in the city. The old system, whereby boys from the School visited elderly people, seems to be out of favour, and the new system, whereby the boys volunteer their services for jobs, has not got fully under way. ! With this goes a comment on the surprising number of needy cases in any big town like York and an appeal to those seeking some constructive free-time occupation to get in touch with H. E. D. Lane. Good Luck to them. Ed.

23 RUGBY SCHOOL MATCHES 1st XV v. BRADFORD G.S. Played away on Saturday, 14th October. Lost 0-8. Recognising the familiar strength of our opponents, team selection for this, the first inter-school match of the season, relied upon past experience, although on form there was little justification for not experimenting. In the event the selection proved right. Heavy rain for most of the match discouraged handling. Bradford were superior in both the line-out and the loose, but the school pack in the tight gained an incredible monopoly of the ball. Blackford quite evidently had mastered his opponent. Richardson's tactical kicking proved invaluable against a faster set of backs, but it was not determinedly supported by a fit enough side; and one memorable break by Zissler from the base of the scrum was wasted again through lack of support. Bradford took two of their few chances, one a fine penalty kick from the touch-line, the other a touch-down after we had successfully heeled the ball against the loose head on our own goal line. A frustrating way in which to give our opponents a winning 8 point lead. Team—Moss; Donaldson, Cantrell, Benn, Stewart; Richardson, Zissler; Sample, Blackford, McGrath (Capt.), Summers, Bennett, Doyle, Sargeant, Linsley.

v. TRENT COLLEGE Played at home on Wednesday, 18th 'October. Won 60-0 Seldom have the School enjoyed such a field day—a total of 14 tries (Donaldson 6, Cantrell 4, Stewart 2, Benn 1, Doyle 1) capped by 9 con- versions by Moss. It has to be admitted, however, that Trent were sadly inexperienced and such a one-sided contest is seldom likely to do either winners or losers very much good. Noticeably tackling began to get high and play became too individualistic, but this was understandable under the circumstances. In all departments the 'School were capable of a mastery when so minded, but one was left reflecting upon the lack of prominence of the back-row forwards. Donaldson's six tries were mostly served up on a plate, and Moss at full back fully confirmed his potential as a place-kicker. Team selection as before. Referee—Rev. G. Jones (Yorkshire).

v. DENSTONE COLLEGE Played away on Saturday, 21st October. Lost 3-5. In marked contrast to the preceding match, this was a splendid game of rugby, in which every player on both sides gave their all. As always Denstone showed a marked degree of skill in running and passing with the ball. Furthermore with their pack the more mobile had not our defence been of the highest order, an avalanche of scoring might well have overrun us. 24 Time and again defence was turned into attack and excitement ran high as thrust was met with counter-thrust, and play ebbed and flowed up and down the field. Richardson at fly-half controlled play shrewdly, employing the dummy- scissors, the tactical kick and generally kept Denstone on tenterhooks. A converted try by Denstone (the only time our defence cracked) was quickly countered by a good penalty by Moss to bring the score to 3-5 by half-time. The second half showed no let-up in the pace, and our chances of gaining the lead and snatching a heart-warming victory almost materialised. A drop at goal by Richardson and a further penalty at long range by Moss failed only by inches, so defeat we had to accept in a match which did both sides much credit. Our thanks to many parents in supplying transport in the face of a threatened railway strike. "Colours" re-awarded to Richardson, (Blackford and Summers. Richardson appointed Vice-Captain. Team selection as before.

v. LEEDS G.S. Played at home on Saturday, 4th November. Lost 5-8. Another narrow defeat for the School against a Leeds G.S. team who remained undefeated throughout the term. Admittedly we understand Leeds were depleted after a successful tour in the South, but we were also seriously handicapped when Benn had to leave the field at half-time and we played the whole of the second half with only 14 players. After Leeds had opened the scoring with a converted try by their left- wingers, stirring work by the school pack led to a try by Summers which Moss converted to level the scores 5 all by half-time. A considerable strain was placed on the School's seven forwards in the second half, but Summers amongst others played a "blinder" in his new position at No. 8, having interchanged with Linsley. Leeds landed a penalty, whereas Moss hit the upright and it rebounded. This was the extent of the margin that separated the two teams on the day. Team selection as before. Referee—C. Grimshaw (Yorkshire). "Cap" awarded to Summers. "Colours" awarded to Moss, Sample, Cantrell and Zissler.

v. GIGGLESWICK SCHOOL Played away on Saturday, 1 Ith November. Won 3-0. After the narrow defeats of the preceding two matches, at long last fortune smiled on us once again. Conditions were poor—a wet pitch and a strong, gusty wind. The initiative was mostly ours in the first half. First 'Sargeant, then Cantrell, after a dummy-scissors by Richardson, went close to scoring, until Moss was successful with a cleverly judged penalty kick into the wind from wide out. 25 After a fine break by Zissler but no follow-up try, the climax of the match was only reached in the final 20 minutes, when Giggleswick staged a gallant come-back. We held on determinedly, sometimes gallantly, if not miraculously, to retain our lead and record a victory after a hard encounter. Team selection as before. "Colours" reawarded to both Benn and Donaldson.

v. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE. Played at home on Saturday, 18th November. Lost 0-3. Recognised as one of the key matches of the season and lost as last year by the narrowest of margins (3 points—nil), the award of a penalty kick for a line-out infringement. To say that we missed our chances would be a gross understatement; they were there in legion, whether as overlaps not pressed home or as penalty awards which were sadly executed. All due credit, however, to Ampleforth for some brilliant cover defence, but the school pack were in tremendous form, dominating the game more and more, and Ampleforth must have considered themselves fortunate to have won. Zissler and Summers were both in splendid form, and the school defence was very sound having contained a very speedy Ampleforth back- line division. Team selection as before. "Caps" awarded to Richardson and Zissler. "Colours" awarded to Bennett, Linsley, Doyle, Sargeant and Stewart. Referee—A. G. Roche (Yorkshire).

v. WORKSOP COLLEGE Played at home on Wednesday, 22nd November. Won 14-5. A good win for the School, playing some of their best constructive rugby of the term. The front row, with Blackford in particular, dominated the set scrums and the backs with a plentiful supply of the ball brought plenty of variety into their play. The attack was frequently switched and Stewart on the right wing ran in two good first-half tries. More good play in the second half gave the School a 14 point lead, when first Richardson sent Cantrell over for a try which Moss converted, then Stewart added a 3rd try to his personal tally. Worksop before the end gained some measure of compensation with a late try, but the School's play had been convincing. Team selection as before. "Cap" awarded to Blackford. Referee—D. B. Stead (Yorkshire).

v. DURHAM SCHOOL Played away on Saturday, 25th November. Draw 3-3 This pitch has not been happy hunting ground for the School for some time and this match was no exception. Conditions were wet and greasy underfoot, which made handling a precarious pastime. 26 Territorially we held the advantage, particularly in the first half, but there seemed no urgency in the School's play, and only once did they come near to scoring when Moss hit the cross-bar with a good penalty kick. Durham opened the scoring in the second half with a convincing try after a break in the centre. This roused the School into more purposeful play and Moss levelled the score by landing a penalty after severe pressure on the Durham line. For once the School pack failed to produce their true form. A drawn game was an honourable result. Team selection as before.

v. POCKLINGTON SCHOOL Played away on Wednesday, 6th December. Won 8-0. Something of an occasion. After a 40 year lapse, healthy rivalry seemed long overdue and keen interest was aroused. A clear, crisp, calm afternoon with perfect playing conditions marked the occasion. The supremacy of the School's pack and Richardson's judicious kicking enabled us to encamp deep in Pocklington territory for long periods of the first half. A linking run by 'Benn led to a try under the posts, duly con- verted by Moss. Two further penalty attempts by Moss and two dropped goals by Richardson were all, to varying degrees, just wide of the target, so a 5 point lead was little compensation for such supremacy in the first half. Our opponents were a much greater force in the second half and with both Moss and Zissler hobbling about the field our position was by no means secure. After some anxious moments, we finally broke clear. A kick ahead by Zissler was well supported by 'Sargeant who went over for the final try of the match. Team selection as before.

SCHOOL v. OLD IPETERITES 'Saturday, 9th December Match cancelled. Ground frostbound. Old Peterite line-up was to have been—J. A. Eatough; J. M. Holds- worth, C. W. Clegg, R. H. Parker, H. L. Wood; C. D. King, J. F. N. Jackson; H. A. King, R. R. Baldwin, C. W. Thompson (Capt.), M. B. Wilson, F. C. Beaumont, P. A. Liversidge, R. L. Bruce and C. Metcalfe. Both sides reckoned to have been robbed of a victory.

RETROSPECT For what was the season 1967 remembered? Was it for the experimental rule, applied for one month only, forbidding a direct kick into touch from a point inside our opponents' half? Not likely! Was it for the year then when the All Blacks thrilled us and that "unfortunate" player, who shall be nameless, was sent off the field? Possibly ! Perhaps our most vivid 27 recollection might be a house match played on the Bumper Castle grounds —yes, even a Senior House Match on those infamous grounds, when the River Ouse, for the second time in October, took control over our riverside fields and we were forced to besport ourselves on those open wastes, where we run the risk of having our heads smothered in one of those unmention- able patches. Quite possibly a life-long recollection! Or will the season be remembered for the team for which we played, whether it be the 1st team who might have played Loretto but didn't, or the 3rd XV, the unbeaten Colts team or any other? Well, of course, it depends so much who we are; what interest we take in the game; what ambitions we may have achieved; or what lasting friends it may have given us. Some get a great deal out of the game, others precious little—the more's the pity. At all levels the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. The 1st XV results this year were in many way's strikingly similar to those of last year, and so nearly very successful. Three successes of last year, Worksop, Trent and Giggleswick were repeated this year, and narrow defeats were once again suffered against Leeds, Denstone and Ampleforth. "Suffer" is apt indeed, for fortune did not smile favourably upon us, and we had to bear the disappointment of seeing the ball rebound all too frequently from both crossbar and upright back into the field of play, when a few inches this way or that might have turned the game in our favour. Points for-96; points against-32; also resemble strikingly those of the year 1966 (99 to 39), although the 60 points collected against Trent College were flattering. By contrast to last year, which relied on the talent of two very good players (Emsley and Clegg), the strength of this year's team lay in its forwards, and the supremacy which from time to time they gained over their opponents. "Drive in—boys"—no doubt had a telling effect! The whole team worked like blacks, and the influence and example set by the captain, both on and off the field, had much to do with the team's success. Undeniably, we compete against strong opposition, so the winning of four matches, losing four and drawing one was creditable enough, and at no time did any team cross the School's line more than once. This speaks well for the good all-round defence, whereas the attack generally lacked pace and penetration. The team fortunately were spared the disruption of injuries, so quite unusually, from the first inter-school match onward, selection remained unaltered. Supporting teams also had their fair measure of success, much of which again can be accredited to the captains and their general enthusiasm. The 3rd XV have never done better in losing only one of their seven matches. After their first match, they provided the 1st XV with their permanent full-back, and all in all served a most useful purpose by selecting as many as 32 different players to represent the teams in the seven matches. Points for 101, against 14, speaks amply enough of their success. The Senior Colts, under the watchful eye of Mr. Maw, repeated the record of two seasons ago by remaining unbeaten, and achieving some striking results in the latter half of the season. Their record of 140 points for, as against 25, compares very favourably with that of 1965 when the tally was 157 as against 20. On that occasion, Colts successes were referred to as "the barometer for the future". We are always acutely aware of the gulf which lies between Colts and 1st team rugger, and the challenge which lies ahead for all Colts players. Where, one might ask, are the Colts players of 1965 today? Eleven are still at school. Six have graduated to 1st team rugger. This is the challenge. 28 League matches and house matches both became disrupted by frozen grounds, let alone the necessity for replays, in the final week or two of term. Leagues unavoidably ground to a standstill; Junior House matches completed their programme in spite of a replayed final; while the Games Committee celebrated its first meeting for five years by ruling the abandon- ment of the Senior House match programme, due largely to its involvement with the impending Loretto match. The Loretto match, due to be played a few hours after official breaking- up time, was the final disappointment. Two nights of severe frost left no choice but for a cancellation, and the hardy 'Scots we learnt felt as frustrated as ourselves. SCHOOL TEAMS: ist XV—D. J. Moss; I. S. Donaldson, M. A. Cantrell, J.

SQUASH Although the Christmas Term is not the main Squash term, there has been more activity than usual this year. Apart from the 1st V matches, we were fortunate to receive two most enjoyable visits, one from Terry Pickering and Michael Grundy, two Yorkshire players, and the second from the South African Knights team, who were on a six-week tour of this country. Pickering and Grundy played an excellent exhibition game, full of delicate shots. The Knights spent a full afternoon coaching a selected number of boys and in the evening played two exhibition matches. We are extremely grateful to all these players for spending so much time at the School and for giving us opportunities of seeing a much higher standard of squash than exists near York. It was also a pleasure to see their fine sportsmanship and tremendous enthusiasm. In the 1st V matches we did very well, winning three matches and only losing to the powerful Durham University team; we are grateful to the Durham team, whose main purpose in playing us is to try to improve the School team. The captain, J. C. Richardson, had an excellent term, winning all his matches easily. He also found time to do a great deal of valuable coaching and was a help to many players. The second string, D. R. Waller, improved enormously and was a very strong player in his position; his departure at the end of term will make a big gap in the team. J. G. Hoad and M. J. H. Fisher at Nos. 3 and 4, both found wins hard to achieve. Fisher, and to a lesser extent Hoad, have a major problem of temperament. Their disappointment with their own shortcomings tends to cause defeat more often than the skill of their opponents; both of them are better players than they themselves think. At Nos. 5 and 6, the younger players, P. L. Hall and I. Robinson, made good progress and won most of their matches well. At No. 7, P. V. Zissler played with great speed and enthusiasm; with more control he could be a difficult player to beat. Several other players have improved quite well, but there are others, who have played little and are wasting their ability; in most cases this is not because of lack of keenness, but rather because of poor organisation of spare time. In the holidays, Richardson and Waller took part in the South of England Championships at Eastbourne. Richardson did very well to reach the semi-final, where he lost narrowly in the fifth game. Waller unfortunately had a bad draw and lost in the first round, but he had little difficulty in winning the plate competition. These two were joined in 31 London by Hoad, and the three played very well and reached the quarter- finals of the Bath Club inter-schools competition, defeating Halleybury 3-0 and King's, Canterbury 2-1, before losing to a strong Hirstpierpoint team.

SHOOTING

The usual practices have been held this term, but . in the event it has been mostly beginners who have attended. It continues to be difficult for many club members to attend, and at least three first VIII members have shot the matches recorded below without a single practice. In view of their performance this is perhaps not alarming, but what does give some cause for concern is the small attendance by the next generation, last year's beginners, who should now be building up their scores. 32 From the match point of view this has been a good term and our scores have been on average the highest we have achieved : this is certainly true of the `‘Staniforth" result. The following have shot for the School this term: L. M. Creer ('Capt.); S. Mackinder, P. J. G. C. Bleach, G. W. Harding, S. G. Smith, Bavister, A. G. Bird, P. R. Taylor, P. R. Morris, J. R. Young. St. Peter's Opponents Result v. Monmouth 772 759 won v. Leeds G.S. 763 746 won v. Merchiston 772 771 won v. 'Pocklington 777 Our "Staniforth" score of 776 placed us 14th out of 136 competitors.

FENCING CHRISTMAS 1967 This has certainly been one of the best seasons even enjoyed by the fencing club, both as a team and in individual competitions. The only defeat suffered by the team was the first one of the season against a strong Y.F.A. team and indeed the score, 10-6, could probably have been reversed had we not had three colours missing. The most important team match of the season was against Westminster School, who came up to York from London. Against these very notable opponents, considered to be one of the country's foremost fencing schools, the team excelled themselves winning 16-2 overall. Miller was awarded his School Colours. Other team matches were against : York University, won 10-6, Sheffield University, won 11-6 and a team from Hull University, won 15-1. The School were distinguished by having two of the three members of the Y.F.A. team which won the North of England Senior Team Champion- ships. They were Wood and Lockwood. In the Ashton-Under-Lyne Senior Tournament Wood reached the last 10 in the foil and Miller the quarter-finals of the sabre. In the North of England Under 20 champion- ships at the same place Wood lost his title, coming third, and Miller fought well to come sixth. Wood reached the last twelve in the Under "20" championships of Great Britain, but was knocked out in the direct-elimination. The York- shire schoolboys was the last competition of the term and in this Miller and Lockwood were knocked out in the semi4mals and Wood finished second. These were good results for the team because it was fought in steam-foil, a strange weapon to the School who always use the electric apparatus. We can now look forward to the Easter Term and the Public Schools Championships which is always the climax of the fencing season. The first team are certainly up to the required standard for this, but some of the other experienced fencers must get down to training if we are to win the overall competition. Once again we thank Messrs. P. and A. Power for their valuable coach- ing and time spent on making St. Peter's one of the strongest senior fencing teams in the North and certainly the strongest school fencing team. C.A.W. 33 SOCCER We have great pleasure in announcing that there are now two football teams operating in the School, and negotiations are proceeding for an indoor soccer centre. A team from Queen's has now been formed under the title of F. C. Royalle and the club colours are claret and blue. The "Saints" have played eight matches this term, winning five, losing two and drawing one. After winning the first three games by 10-5, 10-1 and 10-2 everything seemed set for a long run of success. Unfortunately, the run came to an abrupt end at the hands of the Post Office by the decisive margin of 12-2, this despite the heroic goalkeeping of an ex-Peterite, J. H. Reiss. We are proud to say that several members of the 1st XV have shown a preference for the round ball game, and indeed have played for us on occasions. F. C. Royalle are expecting a large attendance for their 1st round youth cup tie on 20th January, and also for their (T. Fry testimonial) match on the 27th January. I.C.D. and E.L. 1 CRICKET FIXTURES 1968

34 SCHOOL SOCIETIES

PREFACE The emphasis this term appears to be on new societies. The Motor Enthusiasts' Club opened under Mr Pullin's direction and aims at giving people instruction in the more technical aspect of matters, such as go-carts and car maintenance. Trips to race meets are planned and this will give people a chance to break from the school routine. The Ancient Architectural Society held its inaugural meeting, and there are hopes that even more will be done next term. A link has not yet been officially made with the Art Society, but this would no doubt benefit both sides. Strangely enough an old stalwart, the Debating Society, was troubled by internal power politics and even some back-stabbing, but proposals are under way to right this. The Modern Language Society still prospered but was described as "moribund" by one of its members. More fortunate was the Senior Science Society that established, though not without a struggle, a link with York College for Girls; it also held a trip to I.C.I. Harrogate—once again a chance to see "the outside". The Russian Society continued to pull in the crowds and hopes to arrange a trip to a Russian play in the near future. The possibilities of such a society are endless, in a field which is as yet relatively unexplored in this school. It was opened to the fourth forms for the first time this year and there is no reason for not giving the thirds the opportunity to attend also. The only problem then arising is that one has such a wide cross-section to reach and one must not be too highbrow or too lowbrow. The Literature Society came of age with its presentation of an anthology on "Woman" Though the material was not original, this kind of achieve- ment ably fulfills the purpose of a school society—that is to give boys a wider and more complete education than they could obtain in the classroom alone and to give them a chance to lose their fear of audiences. A similar occasion was the Christmas Concert of the Music Society. In toto, the societies of the School are flourishing; yet one must always remember that new ideas never go amiss and what is dead must be pruned. A.M.B.

DEBATING SOCIETY It is with heavy heart that I take up my pen to record these notes. For it is probably true to say that the Society is going through one of its worst spells in recent memory. The characteristics of this term have been apathy, indifference and petty, time-wasting quibbling. Talent is, however, not lacking but is being drowned in a flood of mediocrity. A feeling is abroad that the Society has lost its way, but we must hope that the questioning spirit some members have shown will ultimately prove beneficial. Now to the actual business of the term. In their attempt to discover the wishes of the Society the Committee have spread their net widely to include motions both serious and gay. Violence in sport, the relative merits of Public Houses and Public Schools, the nature of government, the 35 ever-popular "balloon" and racialism have featured as this term's talking- points. At a light-hearted level the balloon debate was probably the high-spot of the term. Messrs Napoleon Bonaparte, Matt Busby, George Whetstone, Harold Wilson and Jim Bleach entertained the Society as they desperately tried to avoid ejection. Such matters as Napoleon's reasons for saying "Not tonight Josephine", the invention of the ball-point quill, production of hot air and George Brown produced a hilarious evening. The debate reached its thrilling climax as George Whetstone, a three-foot high circus strongman, hung on (by his seven-foot arms!) to beat an exhausted Harold Wilson by a mere two votes. On a more serious plane, the final debate on a motion advocating the separate development of the white and coloured races as the most practical course for the forseeable future, showed some of the latent talent of the Society. The proposition, R. E. Hardie and I. M. Macleod, brilliantly defended what proved to be an indefensible position. It was perhaps unfortunate for them that after fighting off the opposition's charge of apartheid several speakers from the floor stood up and supported the motion because they supported apartheid. P. J. Shannon and R. St. G. Houghton produced their usual capable performances and there were some explosive scenes on the floor leading to the chairman's threat to eject several members. Finally I must announce the departure of Richard Hardie, this term's President, and express the Society's deep and lasting gratitude for his long and devoted service. We are sure that he will prove an asset to any university debating society and wish him all possible success in this field. Just as this magazine was going to press the Society learnt, with shock, of another departure, that of Mr Cummin as Master-in-Charge. In one way and another he has been associated with the Society for longer than anyone now here can ,remember and under his careful eye generations of skilled debates have arisen. His encyclopaedic knowledge of procedural matters, his never-failing ideas for motions and his keen wit at meetings will be sadly missed. We wish Mr. Exham luck as his successor. R.W.J.D.

GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY A meeting was held on 15th October at which a talk was given by Mr. Nigel Hancock, an Old Peterite who is reading Geology at Oxford. His subject was the Oxford Expedition to Methana, 1967, of which he was secretary. His main theme was the work done on the geology of the volcano Kameno Voceno, which last erupted in c. 250 B.C.—an event described by Strabo—but included something for everybody : travel, human geography, archaeology. The talk was illustrated with over 80 colour slides and made an enjoyable and informative occasion for the considerable num- ber present. But perhaps what interested us most was the mpunting, conduct and life of an expedition like this, and by the end many felt that the speaker had had a most enviable experience. 36 THEOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Society held three meetings this term, a Brains Trust, a film show, and a talk. The first meeting was the Brains Trust which was composed of Messrs. A. T. Howat, P. G. Croft, D. S. Mair, J. P. Rigby. A wide variety of questions were asked and all were promptly and interestingly answered. At the second meeting the Rev. John Briggs introduced two films, one on a Varsity Public Schools camp in Scotland and one, the latest in the Fact and Faith series, on "Blind Flying". After the films he answered questions and gave details of the Varsity Public Schools camp in 1968. The third and last meeting was a talk by 'Mr. D. K. Exham on "Science and Religion", in which he gave an interesting survey of his views on the subject. A meeting had been arranged at which the Dean of York was to lead a discussion, but unfortunately he fell and cracked his jaw just before the meeting, and it had to be cancelled. Late in the term the committee met to plan the programme for the Easter Term. G.M.F.

MODERN LANGUAGES SOCIETY The three meetings held this term have all taken similar form—that of a talk in 'French by a guest speaker, followed by discussion and questions over coffee. The aim throughout has been to encourage members to speak French rather than remain completely passive. Our visitors spoke on a wide variety of subjects—M. Soula, the assistant at Nunthorpe Grammar School came to speak on the university system in France, Mr. Depledge demonstrated how proficient an Englishman can become in French, and, while speaking primarily of his year at Beauvais, gave some fascinating insights into the sort of colloquial French that never gets into the text- books, and finally Mlle. Chabanon, from the Mount School, gave an illustrated talk on Corsica. Mr. Mair is planning some less orthodox meetings for next term, all with the aim of making members participate and allowing them to gain a wider appreciation of the French way of life.

SENIOR SCIENCE SOCIETY This term the Society returned to the tradition of having a House Representative acting as chairman for each meeting, as opposed to the experiment tried last year when a permanent chairman was appointed. For the first meeting of the term, held on 23rd September, the two societies (Senior and Junior) joined together to be shown a selection of scientific films. The second meeting was held on the 7th October, when Mr. J. Mackeand, an Old Peterite, gave a lecture on "control methods in the Chemical Industry". He gave a detailed and lengthy description of the various methods of taking measurements of reactions in large chemical plants and the ways of controlling them. The chairman for this meeting was P. R. H. Macartney. 37 The third meeting was held on 21st October, when Mr. Marshal of Bradford University gave a talk on "The Life History of a Drug". He started by giving a brief History of Pharmacy and then went on to describe how a drug was developed from the start of research to the time when it reached the patient. H. J. Robinson was in the chair. On Tuesday, 7th November, a party of Senior Members attended a lecture on "Liquid Air" at the Mount School. The lecture was interesting if rather elementary, but the evening did not develop into the social occasion for which our President had hoped. The final meeting was held on the 11th November, when Dr. Heddle of York University gave a lecture on "Astronomy from Space Vehicles". This meeting was graced by five members of the fair sex from York College and their Headmistress. The Headmaster was also present. The chairman was B. D. Pugh. The highlight of the term was a trip to I.C.I. at Harrogate, on 14th December, by a party of 25 boys and the President. On arrival at 2.15 we were introduced and then split into two parties. These then went on conducted tours of the establishment and returned for tea in the restaurant at 4.15. We would like to extend our thanks to I.C.I. for allowing the visit to take place and also to our President, Mr. Harris, for taking so much trouble to organise it. It is hoped that in future years it will be possible to hold more mixed meetings and that these will develop into a social occasion as well as a scientific meeting. D.R.B.

JUNIOR SCIENCE SOCIETY The first meeting of the term was organised by the Senior Science Society and films were shown. The second meeting saw a demonsration of Police Dog training which seemed to be enjoyed by all members judging by the amount of interest shown in the dogs at the end of the meeting. The curator of Flamingo Park Zoo was invited to speak at the third meeting. He brought with him three animals and a number of excellent coloured slides showing his safaris in Africa. The final meeting of the term was a very successful film show when three films were shown. Our thanks are due to Mr. Riley for organising three very enjoyable meetings. R. D. MacLeod.

BRITISH SHIP ADOPTION SOCIETY A large mail arrived from the "Devon" late in term, consisting of meteorological recordings from the North Atlantic and South Pacific, material from Expo 67, cargo loading plans, a map of voyage 44 and two cargo loading plans. All this contained much of interest. 38 Voyage 44 covered 30,990 miles and lasted from 23rd June (London) to 13th November (Falmouth)-142 days, 21 hours and 30 minutes, to be precise. The first passage was to Montreal by the northern route through Belle Isle Strait. Cargo was loaded there, at New York, Philadelphia, Newport Neus and Savannah. This was a remarkably mixed bag, crated vehicles (cars, trucks, tractors, combines) and vehicle parts predominating, but also with a considerable quantity of consumer goods—furniture, cosmetics, refrigerators, washing machines, films, books—and others for industrial use—box board, shoe lasts and a wide range of chemicals. These were discharged at Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. The "Devon" then went to New Zealand and loaded for home at New Plymouth, Opua, Napier and Port Chalmers. As is to be expected this cargo consisted mainly of cheese (124,000 cartons), butter (86,000 cartons), lamb and mutton, but there were also less expected items, such as bales of possum skins, sacks of grass seed, casks of pelts and bags of ox hearts. The home- ward passage was also via Panama, with a call to discharge boned beef at San Juan in Puerto Rica.

ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY This has been the best year so far with a record number of birds ringed, 2,649 of 55 different species, four of which were new to the School ringing list. These are tabulated at the end of the report. Besides the ringing at Moorlands in the winter months a new ringing site at Tholthorpe, in the Summer Term, has been very productive both in numbers and species. There was no Easter Trip this year but the annual visit to the Calf of Man Observatory was held in early August. The following boys attended: — I. A. Gill, D. Judson, P. W. F. Marsden, R. MacLeod, C. J. Watson, P. M. Wright. In early September a short visit was made to the Observa- tory at Spurn Point which J. Place, P. M. Wright and D. Judson attended. Although not much ringing was done several new birds were seen by all the party. This year has also produced some of our best recoveries the highlight being the South African swallow. Details of interesting recoveries are given below.

RUSSIAN SOCIETY This term three meetings were held all of which were excellently attended. This must be put down to the change of time, whereby the Society meets at 6.30 on Tuesday evenings-giving people an opportunity of missing prep. Refreshments also were made available at the end of the school meetings, for which we thank the kitchen staff. The first meeting took the form of a visit to Dr. Zhivago at the A.B.C. Cinema, which was attended by more than a hundred people from the School. The majority were delighted by the film, but there were those who felt that more might have been made of the Revolution, during which period the film took place. After this we had a meeting in which two members of the Society gave short talks. This meeting was, in fact, identical to the one that had been postponed two terms before. Ferguson spoke on Rasputin, the Mad Monk, and pointed out that this title hardly suited him at all and also dispelled some of the myth surrounding him. A. M. Bowie spoke on Russian poetry from Blok down to Vozuesensky, including Yesenin and Mayakovsky in his talk. The last meeting, though well attended, was not the success that might 40 have been hoped. Four films were shown entitled Dawn in Moscow, Moscow News, Petrodvovets and People's Education, but the quality and sound of them was not exactly Hollywood. We would like, lastly, to thank Mr. Pullin for the work he has put into the Society since he moved in as Master-in-Charge, as successor to Mr. Austin, and to say that the Society hopes to extend its bounds in the future. A. M. Bowie.

MUSIC SOCIETY NOTES It was originally arranged, at the first committee meeting of term, that there would be four meetings. One of these was to have been a showing of the film "A young person's guide to the Orchestra", to the score of Benjamin Britten. Later on we found out that it was impossible to hire it then and the meeting had to be abandoned. Three successful meetings have been held, however, the first, on 29th September, was a talk by the Secretary, Day, on "Monteverdi". He had chosen to speak on the composer because it was the quartercentenary of his birth. He tried to place him into the context of an exciting changing artistic world, the end of the Renaissance and the beginning of the Baroque periods. After tracing his career and trying to describe the musical scene of the period, he then showed how he adopted and developed the changing elements of music, in his own secular madrigals and in his dramatic music in the newly- developed form of opera, and in his sacred music, where old and new were mixed most conspicuously. He illustrated the talk with madrigals and part of the "Lamento d' Ariama" on records. In an obviously interested lecture on the 10th November, P. D. Wilson talked about "The Clavichord", outlining its history and demonstrating its mechanism and the music written for it on a clavichord built by his father. He and Day played music by Farnaby from the "Fitzwilliam Virginal Book". Buxtelurde, Scavlatti, J. S. Bach and C. P. E. Bach. With Mr. Pemberton, treble recorder, Day played music by Handel and Mozart, and the lecture recital ended with some contemporary clavichord music of Herbert Howells. T.M.D.

ART SOCIETY Two meetings were held during the term. On Friday, 10th November, Mr. Robinson of York Art School gave a talk on "The Artist and his surroundings". It was illustrated with slides of everyday objects transformed by the eye of the camera into abstract designs. The second meeting was held on 5th December when Mr. Copeland of Shepherd Design Group gave an illustrated talk on European trends in Architecture, describing the different methods, styles and techniques used in buildings of Germany, Holland, Sweden and Switzerland. P.G.P. 41 MOTOR ENTHUSIASTS' CLUB The Club was recently formed, based on an idea of three of the com- mittee members to meet the growing interest in motor sport and motoring in the School. House Representatives were appointed and fifty-five boys enrolled. It was decided to meet on Thursday evenings and the first meeting was held on 23rd November. Two films were shown. The first, "Made for Travel", gave a fascinating description of the manufacture of tyres and also demonstrated their testing. The other film was educational and gave valuable instruction on "Skid Sense". A week later the Club was fortunate enough to obtain a film of the spectacular 1966 Indianapolis 500 Road Race, which was extremely well accepted. The third and final meeting of the term again consisted of films. This time the programme lasted much longer and was of particular interest to the motor cycle division of the Club as one film was on motor cycle racing and scrambling and another about graduating from small to larger and more powerful machines. Finally an excellent colour film of the 1958 Coupe des Alpes was shown. All the term's meetings consisted of films, but this was unavoidable as guest speakers could not be obtained at such short notice. However, an extensive programme has been arranged for the Easter Term when we hope to have several guest speakers, a visit to a motor factory and outings to Northern race tracks, hill climbs and motor cycle scrambles. J.P.G.

YOUNG FARMERS' CLUB This term there were four meetings, at the first of which we elected our committee for the year. R. I. Pigg was elected Chairman, F. T. Gooder Vice-Chairman, R. E. Rowbottom Club Secretary, R. P. Morris Treasurer, and M. R. Stokes and D. T. J. Metcalfe became Committee Members. At this meeting it was discovered that a number of young and enthusiastic members of the School wanted to join the Club and they were therefore able to go ahead arranging a programme. At the second meeting Mr. Kienlyside from Askham Bryan College of Agriculture came to talk about rotavators. He illustrated his talk with slides showing rotavators at work and by bringing along various parts of the machine. The third meeting consisted of four films of which the first, "Machines and the Farm", was undoubtedly the best. Our final meeting was addressed by Mr. P. J. Rowbottom, 0.P., the elder brother of one of our members and a founder member of this Club in 1952. He talked about his visit to Portugal and about Portugese farming and evidently Portugal is rather backward as far as agriculture is concerned. This talk was illustrated by a film taken during the visit and was very much appreciated by the Club. In all we have had a successful term and we are looking forward to a more ambitious programme now that the Club membership has risen again. F.T.G. 42 MUSIC SOCIETY CONCERT At 6.30 on Saturday, 16th December, 1967, in the Memorial Hall This concert showed a distinct departure from the usual form of school concert held over the last few years. The School Orchestra was swelled by importation of instrumentalists from outside the School and also the forma- tion of a mixed choir consisting of members from the School Choir and girls from Queen Margaret's School. The new changes allowed for a greater variety of programme and resulted in the most successful School Concert for many years. The concert opened with two orchestral pieces by Purcell. Although the strings were few in number the School Orchestra played commendably. The next item was the first of three sets of carols sung by the mixed choir. Each set was sung magnificently by the choir, with great confidence and feeling; making these carols one of the undoubted successes of the concert. Performances of two Chapin Mazurkas followed these carols. The A Flat Mazurka was played by M. J. Black and although the performance was very sound, it lacked some confidence and continuity. Miss J. Copley from Queen Margaret's School then played the G Minor Mazurka. She was more confident and produced a very commendable performance of this difficult piece. J. B. D. Hargreaves and R. M. Yule, violins accompanied by Mr. F. Waine, then played the adagio and finale of the Trio Sonata No. 7 by Boyce. Although the performance lacked tone they played well. After this P. D. Wilson and T. M. Day played the first movement of Mozart's Sonata in D for two pianos. This was superbly played with tremendous confidence and there was never any hint of lack of co-ordination between the two. They then played as an encore an intriguing piece by Lennox Berkeley of great technical difficulty. One of the major highlights of the evening followed. S. Mackinder was the soloist in the concerto for oboe and strings by Corelli. The oboe has had few concerti written for it because of the difficulties of playing it as a virtuoso instrument. Mackinder mastered the technical difficulties well and, with the strings providing good support, an extremely worthy per- formance was produced. The choir then returned to sing the second set of carols which were again sung beautifully. Grieg's Praeludium from the Holberg Suite, played by R. A. Howat, followed. This was well played, again demonstrat- ing the high standard of piano playing present in the School. M. A. Cantrell and A. L. Jervis then played a guitar transcription of Bach's C minor Prelude. This performance was again very sound and demonstrated well the place of the guitar as a virtuoso instrument. Finally, to end the concert, three further carols were sung by the mixed choir, again sung extremely well, and they provided a suitable ending to a very enjoyable concert. The great success of the more ambitious programme and the very high standard of performance undoubtedly gave rise to the most successful School Concert for many years and promises extremely well for the future.

VISIT TO LINCOLN'S INN

On Tuesday, 14th November, a party from School, in the custody of Mr. Coulthard, visited Lincoln's Inn After rising early the party departed from York on the eight o' clock train, arriving in London just after eleven. We proceeded from King's Cross Railway Station to Lincoln's Inn by taxi, despite the driver's ignorance of the location of this particular Inn. Having enquired as to the way from sundry traffic wardens we eventually reached the precincts of the Inn, which we entered on foot, to be greeted by an official of the Inn He conducted us into a large room which seemed to serve for committee meetings and shooed out some eminent legal personage who was working there. We were instructed in the history of the Inn and the nature of the training and conduct of the legal profession. We then proceeded to the library where we were shown some exceedingly old and rare books. An ancient retainer, attired in the brown and gold livery of the Inn, led us from thence to the Chapel, a seventeenth century building of extraordinary simplicity and beauty. And so to luncheon in the Hall beneath the fresco of the history and principles of Justice. As we partook of this repast a number of learned and worthy Judges came to converse with us, including Lord Denning, Master of the Rolls, and Mr. Justice Gough. Our appetites sated and our thirsts quenched, we left the hallowed acre of the Inn and walked to the Royal Courts of Justice. Sitting on the lawyers' benches we listened to a judgment in an appeal against a magist- rate's decision on a licensing application and the opening of an appeal against a conviction for assault. Later the writer wandered into a court and listened for a while to a suit for damages after a motoring accident. When the Courts closed we were permitted to perambulate around London as we wished. The party met with several amusing incidents which are unfortunately unrepeatable in a magazine of this nature. Ultimately, we returned to King's Cross Railway Station in time to board the six-twenty train. 45 Some members of the scholastic establishment ventured before this excursion to express the opinion that the excursion would not, per se, be of notable interest. It is with the greatest delight that I wish to endeavour to correct this viewpoint and state that every participant found the excursion per se of considerable interest. We wish to express our sincere gratitude to Lincoln's Inn for arranging this fascinating excursion and to Mr. Coulthard for giving us so much of his valuable time to escort us. R.W.J.D.

ON HOUSE PLAYS Sir, It is with considerable astonishment and horror that I learn of the intention of several Houses to use girls in their next House Plays. I regard this as a total abdication of their responsibilities to acting both in the House and in the School. There can be no question of the desirability of girls acting in School Plays so that a greater selection of plays with adequately demanding parts can be drawn on. A School Play is a showcase for the leading actors of the School and as such must be worthy of them. A House Play is, however, very different. It is an activity designed to employ the talents, latent or otherwise, of as many members of the House as possible. It is, essentially, a production by a House for the School. Moreover, if the producer does his job properly he is easing the burden on the producer of the School Play by providing opportunities for new talents to show themselves and be properly developed. A boy can come into the School Play after three years with the basic groundwork of acting technique already covered. If you introduce girls to House Plays you are auto- matically excluding junior members of the House from participation in the play and cutting off the supply of trained actors for the School Play. The quality of both must inevitably suffer. R. W. J. Dingwall (Producer, Queen's Players)
