EDITORIAL.

This term has been one oi change. We have lost two figures who have been familiar in the school for many years, Commander Biekmore and Mr. Green. The latter's tragic death came as a grievous shock to all who knew him, and has robbed the school of a great friend. Poole House has come to the end of an era with the departure of Mr. and Mrs. le Fleming. We hope that their successors, Mr. and Mrs. Hall, may have an equally successful reign. Caffinites now have Mr. Newman ^s their House Tutor, and the Grove is under the ' command ' of Captain and Mrs.. Swainstou. Even the weather has thought out something new, and instead of persistent rain, we have frost all the time, which has somewhat curtailed our athletic activities. Despite an adverse balance on ail matches, the 1st XV has beaten three of the six schools played— and can always look forward to a victory in the O.D. match ! We offer our congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Derrett on the birth oi a son, Christopher, and to Mr. Harman and Miss Gillian Luce on their engagement.

569 In iBemoriam GEORGE EDWARD JOSEPH GREEN.

For many at the School, both masters and boys, the beginning of term was overshadowed by the tragic death of Mr. Green during the last week of the holidays. The Scouts had spent a fortnight with him in camp during August, when his energy and enthusiasm were as evident as ever. A Memorial Service was held in Chapel on October 8th. He was educated at Portsmouth Grammar School and Brasenose College, Oxford, where he was a senior Hulme scholar, and took his degree with a First in Mods, and a First in Greats. After a period of study in Germany he joined the staff of King Edward Vlth School, Southampton, and came to Durham in 1932. He had been senior classical master since Mr. Woodard's death. His enthusiasm for the classics knew no bounds, and this, together with his own accurate and critical scholarship, made him an outstandingly successful teacher, as effective with younger boys in the early stages of Latin as with university scholarship candidates in the Upper Sixth. He set the highest standards both for himself and his pupils, and the tempo and vigour of his lessons were exacting to the boys as well as to their teacher. Those who worked with him in the Sixth learnt to be enduringly grateful for the inspiration of his intellectual clarity and range ; many others, spurred on, perhaps unwillingly at first, to grapple with Vergil or Euripides, soon found themselves catching his infectious enthusiasm He read, spoke, and sometimes taught, several modern European languages—French, German, Spanish and Russian among them Out of school his energy and love of country life made them- selves felt in many directions. Through the Scouts, Young Farmers' Club and Harvest Camps, in particular, he contributed much to the lives of many other boys besides those whom he taught in school. His death in the prime of life is a grievous loss to tlii School and to his friends, and we offer our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Green and her daughters. For particulars of the proposed memorial to Mr. Green, see O.D. News in this issue. H.K.L.

OLD DUNELMTAN MEMORIAL' SERVICE. A service in memory of Old Dunelmians who lost their lives in the war was held in Chapel on October 28th. The Bishop ot Durham gave the address, the Headmaster conducted the service, and the lessons were read by Mr. H. S. Harrison, President of the O.D. Society, and the Rev. F. A. Youngman. A large number of relatives and O.D's was present, as well as the staff and boys of the School.

570 At the beginning of the service the Headmaster read Rupert Brooke's sonnet, ' The Soldier,' and ' Where is Death's Sting ? by G. F. Bradby. The lessons were taken from the Book of Wisdom, Chapter III, and I Corinthians, Chapter XV. The choif sang ' How lovely are Thy Dwellings ' from Brahms' ' Requiem '; and the hymns were ' What heroes thou hast bred, O England, my country,' ' I vow to thee, my country,' and ' Good Christian men, rejoice and sing,' an Easter hymn by the Dean. The Bishop spoke from the text ' Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, run with patience the race that is set before us.' SCHOOL NOTES. 34 boys left in July, and there were 36 new boys this term. There are 221 boys in the School, of whom 180 are boarders. Mr. and Mrs. Hall have taken charge of Poole House, and Mr. and Mrs. Swainston of The Grove. R. W. Smithson, K.S., is Head of the School, and the other School Monitors are S. Brooks, E. Halladay, E. C. Craven, D. Billingham, K.S., J. Hay, K.S. Smithson is Head of the School House, Brooks of Cafiinites, and Halladay of Poole House. 11 boys obtained a Higher Certificate in July, 3 in Classics, 2 in English and History, 2 in French and Latin, 1 in French and History, 2 in Mathematics, 1 in Chemistry and Biology. D. Billingham obtained Distinction in Ancient History, and was on the reserve list for a State Scholarship. The School Certificate results were exceptionally good. Out of 45 candidates, 42 passed, and the average number of credits was just over 5£. The best performances were those of D. MacKenzie, (7 ' Very Good,' 1 credit, and a pass), J. S. Elliott (6 ' Very Good,' 1 credit, and a pass), D. Baty (3 ' Very Good ' and 6 credits), T. J. Thistlewood (4 ' Very Good ' and 4 credits), J. W. James (5 ' Very Good,' 2 credits, and a pass). On October 10th we were fortunate enough to have a song recital by the celebrated soprano, Isobel Baillie. The range and power of her voice, and the sustained artistry of her interpretation, were most impressive. On November 21st Mr. K. P. Stewart spoke, and showed us films, about the work of Dr. Barnardo's Homes. On November 11th Archdeacon Webster-Smith spoke to the Sixth on his work as a missionary in Tanganyika. On November 25th most of the Sixth Form visited the Home Office School at Aycliffe, and the Headmaster, Mr. J. Gittins, kindly spoke to them about the school and showed them round. On October 23rd Princess Elizabeth visited Durham to lay the foundation stone of the new St. Mary's College. Her car slowed down specially as she passed the School, and the boys had a very good view of her. Miss Dona'dson, recently Principal of St. Marv's College, Durham and C'assical Lecturer in the University, and M-. Norman, University Lecturer in Philosophy have very kindly h lped us this term with the Classical teaching in the Sixth Form : we are most grateful to them. H A. B. Latime-, who left last term, has been teaching Lat'n and French in the Middle and Lower School.

571 Mr. J. R. Marsden will join the Staff in January as Sixth Form Classical Master. He was educated at Liverpool Collegiate School and Lincoln College, Oxford, where he won an Open Scholarship. He obtained a First Class in Hon. Moderations, and has just taken ' Greats.' During the war he was a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery. Mr. Rhodes also comes to us in January. Mr. Whitehouse is now in charge of the School Store and Mr Newman of the Tuck Shop. Mr. Youngman and Mr. Woodford have been in charge of Rugger this term, with a fartnight's help from Mr. Rhodes at the start. We added Princess Elizabeth's holiday to our ' Half-Term,' instead of having it on her wedding-day. A small censignment of ' bashers ' has arrived ; priority is given to the Sixth Form, DURHAM SCHOOL WAR MEMORIAL FUND. The following subscriptions have been received since the last issue of ' The Dunelmian.' Those who have not yet subscribed and wish to do so should send their subscriptions to the Hon. Treasurer, T.

J.T.C. The first field day of the term was held on October 2nd. The recruits, under the command of a number of Certificate ' A ' cadets, held a bridge in the village of Edmondbyers. The other two companies, under the C.S.M. moved over the moors from Waskerley Reservoir. On the way there was some section work, with Major Woodford providing the enemy fire. When they arrived on the scene, the two companies attacked, and, with the help of a ' mechanised section,' took the bridge. The signals must be congratulated on the efficiency of their work on this Field Day. The Cetrificate ' A ' examination was held on the 25th Novem- ber. 19 candidates took the examination, and 16 were successful. Weather has not affected our work this term, and training has been assisted by ' K ' travelling wing from Fenham barracks. We were sorry to say good-bye to C.S.M. Teesdale. A.S.P.G.

A.T.C. The A.T.C. has been going from strength to strength, and the numbers now total nearly 60. The summer camp was held at Driffield in Yorkshire, and thanks to a week of brilliant sunshine, power flights were experienced by everybody, and gliding by a lucky few.

574 The Field Day was spent in a visit to Nimmo's Breweries, Castle Eden, where the mysteries of brewing and bottling were explained to an attentive audience ; after a visit to the sample cellar, we took our leave, most of us with happy memories ! We are most grateful to Mr. W. J. Nimmo, O.D. Once again we thank Mr. Ferens for his enthusiastic support of our activities, and we hope he will continue to participate in them for a long time to come. J.P.O. SCOUTS. In the death of Mr. Green, who was A.S.M. for 14 years, the Scouts suffered an irreparable loss. His influence on all our activities was tremendous, and he inspired in all, from the Senior Scout to the Junior Tenderfoot, an interest which never flagged. Many will have vivid memories of the camps and hikes which he organised with such efficiency and enthusiasm. We have been fortunate in having Mr. Derrett, a Gilwell Scouter, to take Mr. Green's place. The Junior Troop this term, run by Mr. Derrett and Mr. Whitehouse, appear to have been doing well. Much of the control oc activities has been placed in the hands of the separate P.L's, in true B.P. style, and they have shown great keenness. The Senior patrol, with the help of Mr. Youngman, has done some interesting work, not the least of which was an attempt at making a plaster cast of Hamilton's face ! An assault course over the top of Catfinites was attempted, and it finished with three stalwarts swimming the river. In the summer holidays a very successful camp was held at Frosterley. Much valuable work was done, and everyone enjoyed himself immensely. Meanwhile, Halladay was lamenting the thick green troop shirt he had to wear at the World Jamboree near Paris ; the heat and the dust were terrific. It was a great ex- perience, however, and the sense of brotherhood which arose between all nations gathered there will not be easily forgotten.

LIBRARY. Like so many other school institutions, the library has lost much by Mr. Green's death. All users, past and present, will realise the debt of gratitude we owe to his enthusiastic work. Mr. le Fleming has kindly consented to become Librarian again. A large number of new books have been added this term, among them are: — ' The Miltonic Setting,'—Tillyard. ' Structure of the Novel,'—Muir. ' Tragedy,'—Lucas. ' Animals without Backbones,'—Budisbaum. ' Personality in Politics,'—Salter. ' Lincoln,'—Charnwood. ' Schweitzer. The Man and His Mind,'—Seaver. * Wellington,'—Aldington. Giovani Bellini—Paintings. 575 During the Summer Holidays the library was redecorated, and the bookcases were re-arranged in a more convenient way. The committee now consists of Billingham, Nicol, Chadwick. J. Hay, Robinson, Kershaw and Halladay.

DEBATING SOCIETY.

Up to the time of writing we have had three debates. The first motion was that the only hope of salvation for this country lay in mass emigration. Chad wick and Crate proposed, and the opposers were Nicol and MacKenzie. On the whole the House was against the motion, refusing to be called unpatriotic by Mr. Churchill. This was a lively debate, and the speeches from the floor were of a high standard. The second debate was on the motion that man was becoming a slave. Halladay and Limon painted pictures of people living in misery under the tyranny of machines and communists. Chadwick and Hughes did not desire to return to a state of being uncivilized barbarians. The House decided that it would prefer to eat its dinner with knives and forks even if it was a slave to more utensils The best debate was inspired by the new Criminal Justice Bill, the motion being that the death-penalty was necessary as a deterrent. Chadwick and Mann, supporting the fiery prophets of the Old Testament, used ' the eye for an eye ' argument. Smailes and Hughes, opposing, drowned the house with a mass of figures, their main argument being incomprehensible. It was left to Mr. de Winton to deliver their death-thrust. The motion was passed by 17 votes to 12. Halladay was elected secretary of the society and the com- mittee is composed of Hay, Chadwick and Nicol. Debates this term have been interesting, and we have several good speakers. We still, however, receive more enthusiastic support from the middle school than from the Sixth Form. E.H.

MUSIC. The Musical Society has spent most of the term preparing for next term's concert ; but will sing a part song by Elgar at the Concert on December 12th and 13th. Other items will be three part songs for male voices, a. comic duet for two basses, a concerto for piano and orchestra by Mozart, with Oyston, Brooks, and Mr. Newman as soloists, and the ' Titus ' Overture, also by Mozart. We have been lucky in hearing two famous artists this term ; Isobel Baillie, who sang in Big School on October 10th, and Marcel Dupre, the French organist, who played in the Cathedral on 26th November. S.B.

57G TRISTRAM SOCIETY. Although we have not had many lectures this term, we have had some very interesting outings. The first was to the Hen don Paper Mills at Sunderland. We were shown round by the Managing Director, an O.D. director, and the head chemist. After going round the works we were taken to the Manager's office, where we had a magnificent tea. Next we had our annual visit to the Coke Works, and then, on 12th November, we visited Ashmore, Benson, Pease & Co., at Stockton-on-Tees. They are an engineering firm making blast furnaces, gasholders, etc. We all received rulers with the company's name stamped on, and files with leaflets on the various types of machinery made by them. We are most grateful to all our kind hosts. The Secretary gave a short lecture on 'paper-making '; Mr. Perkins is to give a lecture on ' Malaria and its control.' P.A.R.

DRAMATIC SOCIETY. The Society has not performed any play this term, but it is hoped that ' Tobias and the Angel ' will be our Easter Term production. Major le Fleming kindly arranged two successful play- readings, 4 Strife ' and ' The Admirable Crichton,' in which most of us took part ; and they provided instructive and enjoyable evenings. P.R.H.

YOUNG FARMERS' CLUB. There has not been a great deal of activity this term after the loss of the founder of the Club, Mr. Green. He was a great worker, and held us together at all times. At the first meeting the new members were welcomed ; they numbered 21. Mr. Spirit was appointed Club leader, and J. Hay secretary. Some pigs have been ordered but have not yet arrived, so it looks as if they will not be ours until next term. A.S.P.G.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY. Mr. Bickmore, who revived the Society in 1946, left us after a very successful year. Mr. de Winton has taken his place, and the Society has had another good term. At the beginning the dark room was cleaned, painted and re-organised. Mr. de Winton loaned his new enlarger to the Society, after giving a demonstration on enlarging. An electrical drier and glazer, and a developing tank, were bought at half-term. Some interesting attempts have been made by certain members to photograph chapel interiors. They have met with considerable success, and may provide material for a competition next term. P.C.M.

577 CARPENTRY SOCIETY. This term the shop has become a rather more universal affair. Instead of being confined to Pooleites as in past years, other members of the school have now joined, and in such numbers that it has been found necessary to refuse many. As usual the main problem has been in providing enough wood for members, and we hope that with a little persuasion we may obtain a small allocation each term. In general, the work has been confined to hobbies and repairing school property such as the hurdles.

RAILWAY CLUB. There has not been much activity in the club-room this term, probably owing to the intemperate climate of Old Caffinites. A. visit to York Museum was proposed, but had to be put off on account of the exorbitant fares. We hope that the State Rail- ways will not follow the example of the Nationalized Mines. This term we say good-bye to Curry, who has been responsible for most of the electrification and renovation ; and we here record our debt to him. D.M.

RUGGER. IST XV MATCHES. v. NORTHERN.—Wednesday. October 1st. Home. Lost 13-21. | The ground was hard and dry, and, although it was good for handling the ball, there was a big risk of injuries. After only a few minutes' play Sample, our hooker, was taken off with a broken wrist, but despite this handicap we played a very good game, and in the last few minutes almost ran Northern off their feet. At half-time the score was 13-nil to our opponents, a lead which they increased by a goal and a try before, in a final onslaught, School scored tries through Brooks, Craven and Robinson ; Smithson and Brooks converted one each. Team: — Pratchek ; Robinson, Craven, Brooks, Cottrell ; Smithson, McKeag ; Gurney, Billingham, Thomson, C. W., Hay, Jackson, Brown, Sample, Nelson, v. DURHAM CITY.—Wednesday, October 8th. Away. Lost 0-29. After the Northern match we were quite confident, but we were not prepared for a pack whose weight averaged 13| stone. We rarely got the ball, and the outsides had plenty of defensive work to do. Unfortunately the centres tackled weakly, and through this came most of the City score. The game was more even than the score suggests, for we came near to scoring several times. Team: — Lodge, B. ; Cottrell, Brooks, Craven, Pratchek ; Smithson. McKeag ; Gurney, Fawcett, Thomson, C. W., Hav, Jackson. Nelson, Smailes," Brown, J. C. 578 v. ST. PETER'S, YORK.—Wednesday, October 15th. Home. Won 14-11. Our first victory of the season was only gained after a terrific struggle, in which we almost lost the advantage we had gained at half-time, when we led by 11 points to nil. The first try came from an intercepted pass, when Smithson sent Craven over. Brooks converted. The second try came after a good run by Pratchek. The third was scored by Gurney. All three were opportunist scores. In the second half, School seemed to flag somewhat, but after Peter's had brought the scores level, Cottrell got over in the corner after an orthodox three-quarter movement. Team: — Lodge, B. ; Cottrell, Brooks, Craven, Pratchek ; Smithson, McKeag ; Gurney, Fawcett, Thomson, Hay, Jackson, Brown, Smailes, Nelson, v. ST. BEES.—Saturday, October 25th. Home. Lost 3-14. We were unlucky to lose by such a margin, as we had the betttr of the first half, and were not overwhelmed in the second. Bees' first try was especially lucky, and as we had crossed their line, only to be brought back for some infringement, we were rather disappointed. Our opponents scored another try, before Smithson short-punted, and, beating the full-back, dribbled on to score. Brooks narrowly missed converting. After that we pressed hard, but were unable to break through a solid defence. We were out- hooked in the set, and were weak in the line-out. This threw a lot of responsibility on to the backs, who, on the whole, defended soundly. The forwards were much lighter, but slightly quicker. Weight, however, told in the end, and two quick tries, one con- verted, ended our hopes_. Team. Brown, P. R. ; Cottrell, Hybart, Craven, Brooks ; Smithson, McKeag ; Gurney, Pratchek, Thomson, Hay, Nelson, Fawcett, Trotter, Brown, J. C. v. KING'S COLLEGE.—Wednesday, November 5th. Away. Lost 5-11. We touched rock-bottom in this match, which we should have won by a handsome margin. Half-term did not seem to have had a good effect. Unfortunately, we lost Brown in the first three minutes, when he was tackled heavily. He was carried off and did not resume. The whole team seemed lethargic, and we allowed them to score an unconverted try in the first-half, and a goal and a try in the second. We replied with a try, scored and converted by Brooks, after one of the few good passing bouts in the game. Both second half scores for King's came on the blind side, and weakness here was the chief fault, but the general level of play was poor. Team: — Brown, P. R. ; Cottrell, Brooks, Craven, Pratchek ; Smithson, McKeag ; Gurney, Jackson, Billingham, Hay, Nelson, Brown, J. C., Trotter, Fawcett. v. R.G.S.—Saturday, November 8th. Away. Drawn 6-6. This was a hard, keen tussle which ended very justly in a draw. The wind was strong and rather spoiled the game, although 579 both sides used it to advantage by judicious kicks ahead or to touch. We gained slightly more of the ball in the set. but we were handicapped by lack of height in the line-out. Newcastle scored first with an unconverted try, but we soon replied with a penalty goal kicked by Smithson. For the remainder of the first half we penned our opponents in their half, but just failed to score. The second half was almost a repetition of the first, except that our opponents had slightly more opportunities. They scored with a penalty goal, to which we replied with a try scored by Pratchek. School showed improved form generally. Team: — Brown, P. R. ; Cottrell, Brooks, Craven, Pratchek ; Smithson, McKeag ; Gurney, Jackson, Billingham, Hay, Nelson, Brown, J. C., Trotter, Fawcett. v. GIGGLESWICK.—Saturday, November 15th. Away. Won 14-6. Snow overnight had made the turf very soft, but conditions were not really bad. We won on our merits and ail played well. We pressed from the start, being awarded several penalties for ' feet up,' and we soon opened our account, when a blind side movement on their line enabled Brooks to score. Soon after this we were awarded a penalty under their posts, and Smithson kicked a goal. Brooks added a second try in a manner very similar to the first. We now had a good grip on the game, but Giggleswick scored a penalty goal from an easy position. In the second half our opponents fought hard to recover, but a magnificent try by Brooks, who outpaced everyone from the half-way line, virtually settled the issue. The try was converted. School held on to their advantage ; and after Giggleswick had scored a try as a result of loose passing, we never slackened our grip. Team: — Brown, P. R. ; Cottrell, Hybart, Craven, Brooks ; Smithson, McKeag ; Gurney, Jackson, Pratchek, Hay, Nelson, Brown, J. C., Trotter, Fawcett. v. SUNDERLAND.—Wednesday, November 19th. Home. Match cancelled because of frost, v. AMPLEFORTH.—Saturday, November 22nd. Away. Lost 5-11. W gave a disappointing display in this match, and were lucky to lose by so little. Our forwards proved too slow, and did not play as a pack, and the backs were given too much to do in defence. At first School held their own, but gradually play made its way into our half more and more. Ampleforth had the aid of quite a strong wind during this half, but they scored only once, when their right wing got over in the corner. Half-time came with School still hard-pressed. Ampleforth attacked at once from the kick-off, and School never looked dangerous. A second try, this time converted, was added against us, after Cottrell and Brown had collided when catching a kick-ahead. W replied when Craven, intercepting a pass, sent Cottrell over near the posts. Smithson converted.

580 School now roused themselves, but bit by bit we were driven back, until just before full-time the Ampleforth right wing scored in the corner. Team: — Brown, P. R. ; Cottrell, Hybart, Craven, Brooks ; Smithson, McKeag ; Gurney, Jackson, Pratchek, Hay, Nelson, Brown, J. C., Trotter, Fawcett. v. MEDICALS II.—Wednesday, November 26th. Away. Won 34-3. At last we struck really good form, as can be seen by the fact that Medicals drew with the King's College team to whom we lost. After a fairly even start we led at the interval by 13 points to 3. Cottrell scored two tries and Brown, J. C., one, after Pratchek had dribbled from the half-way line. Smithson converted two. In the second half scorers were Smithson (3), and Brooks (2). Brooks converted two and Smithson one. The forwards gave the backs a full supply of the ball, and Craven and Smithson in particular found plenty of gaps in the defence. This was our best performance of the season. Team: — Brown, P. R. ; Cottrell, Hybart, Craven, Brooks ; Smithson, McKeag ; Gurney, Jackson, Pratchek, Hay, Nelson, Brown, J. C., Trotter, Fawcett. v. BARNARD CASTLE.—Saturday, November 29th. Home. Won 11-6. Conditions for this match were bad, as the ground had a top coating of ice, although it was soft underneath. Despite this both teams played quite fast and open rugger. At first play was fairly even, with School holding a slight advantage. Barnard Castle, however, scored first when their left wing got over in the corner. School then attacked and after several minutes of pressure Craven cross-kicked beautifully for Cottrell to touch down. Smithson converted. Barnard Castle then broke away and were awarded a penalty on our 25, which was converted with a good kick. School then pressed hard till half-time. We should have led in the first half, and with the advantage of the ground in the second it was obvious that we ought to be able to force a win. For most of the second half we kept our opponents hemmed in their own half, but Barnard Castle used the kick ahead to advantage at times, as Brown was very uncertain at full-back. We scored twice in the first twenty minutes, first through our pack pushing their way over the line, and secondly through Brooks, after a quick three-quarter movement. Team: — Brown, P. R. ; Cottrell, Hybart, Craven, Brooks ; Smithson, McKeag ; Gurney, Jackson, Pratchek, Hay, Nelson, Brown, J. C., Trotter, Fawcett.

CORRESPONDENCE. To the Editor of the Dunelmian. 7/10/47. 29A Upper Montague Street, London, W.l. Sir, Most O.D.s must have in their possession old School or House jerseys, blazers, stockings, etc., for which they have no further use I would like to suggest that these be put to a useful purpose by being sent to the School for the use of the present generation of Dunelmians. Not only will articles of clothing, probably in short supply, be available without coupons, but the' revenue from their sale could be applied to the School War Memorial Fund. I am sir, your obedient servant,
