CRICKET

lsr XI Of the seven matches so far played, three have been won, two favourably drawn and two interestingly lost. For the first time for a number of years, were convincingly beaten both at home and away. Of the seventeen players who played for the lst Xl last year, fourteen were again available, only seven of whom have commanded a regular place. There was, therefore, competition for places and for reasons of future team building as well as the potential ability of others, there were a number of changes from the outset, which results seem to have justified in terms of batting and bowling figures. The batting has been more consistent, and the technique more studious and adventurous than in the previous year. Batsmen who seemed so very reluctant then to use their feet against bowlers have done so to advantage this season. It has been a pleasure also to see later batsmen making runs when the earlier and recognised ones have failed. Kitson, Leeson and P. G. Tomkins have batted with success, the key of which has been concentration and effort. Improvement of Barden on last year's form has been very evident and he has done well as a regular opener. In bowling, the School has a varied attack, again in contrast to previous seasons,when only one effective slow bowler merited a place. James and P. G. Tomkins have bowled well and with hostility and have been commendably supported by P. A. Tompkins, when required. Of the slow bowlers, P. E. Jackson has had the greater opportunities but Perkins as a leg-break bowler, though not sufficiently quick through /-

the air, has bowled a iength, thereby commanding respect. Barden, in the capacity of slow left-hander,has not had many chances,though he took useful v,'icketsagainst Bedford N{odern. The side has been thoughtfuliy led by Kitson, who has piaced the field well and used the bowling to good effect. One ought also to remark upon the keen spirit pervading the side this year. The prospects for the remainder of the seasontherfore seem good. Resulrs I lth May v. Northamp'ton G.S. Lost by 4 wickets. W.G.S. 143 for 5 dec. (Kitson 63, Leeson 4-5).

In five of the eight matches played so far, victory could have gone to either side if one catch had been held or five minutes more could have been allowed. Against Kettering, in reply to 65, we were 50 for 4 but the later batsmen collapsed; Oundle School won with three balls remaining in the last over; Bedford Modern Colts, after struggling behind the clock for nearly the whole of their innings, hit out in desperation in the last three overs and also won with three balls remaining; whereas both Kettering (in the return match) and Laxton had an opening batsman who batted throughout and shielded his team-mates from the bowling until time had been played out. However, considering the potential ability of six or seven batsmen, the team should have scored far more runs and scored them much more quickly. No batsman has been able to dominate the bowling, except perhaps for Billing's fine 40 against Bedford Modern. Steven- son, Sauntson, Maher, Green and Coles have all batted steadily but have lacked the courage to attack the bowling. Billing has been the spearhead of the attack, despite being no- balled far too frequently and Tilley has also been most effective when used in short spells. Sauntson, when bowling his slower off-spinners, and Munns, with his improving leg-breaks, have taken several vital wickets. The most encouraging feature of the team has been the fielding, the throwing being particularly noteworthy, while Gray on the whole has kept wicket most commendably. After a shaky start, Wrenn has improved considerably with his field placing and bowling changes and he has proved an invaluable the field. while Jones and Perritt have been very reliable H:J: Resurrs May 1Othv.

UNonn 15 XI The Under 15 XI has enjoyeda most successfulseason, winning decisivelyseven of the eight matohesso far played. The outstanding performance, perhaps, was the victory against Oundle Junior Colts, who were dismissed for only l6 runs, thanks to some accurate fast bowling by Metcalfe and J. J. Smith. These two have bowled consistently well throughout the season,and have received valuable support from Martin (off-spinners) and Bellamy (medium- fast), so that opposing batsmen have invariably found run-getting difficult. The batting has also been consistent, with all of the first five batsmen scoring valuable runs. Martin, whose technique has set a fine example to the rest of his side, has always looked the most polished bat, but Bonham, Gibson, Mason and Metcalfe have all achieved scores of 40 or more at times when runs were needed. and later bats- men have usually made their fair contribution when called upon. A most pleasing feature has been the willingness-or rather, the eagerness -to run quick singles. Fielding has been very keen. Remarkably few catches have been missed, and the ground-fielding and throwing have been good. Behind the stumps, Southward has taken some excellent catches, and allowed very few byes to pass him. The shrewd captaincy of Martin has had much to do with the team's success,but all the players in this XI are to be congratulated on their enthusiasm and efficiencv. Rrsurrs May 10thv.

Defeat in the opening match against Northampton G.S. showed up weaknessesbut was useful in that the team benefited from its mistakes in subsequent matches. Bad calling was responsible for the loss of two wickets early in the innings and thereafter little resolution was shown until the last wicket pair added 23 runs, thus doubling the score. Since this match four good victories have been recorded, the last wicket in the Kettering G.S. game falling with two balls left. The bowling has been steady but unfortunately shows little variety: a good slow bowler is badly needed. A noteworthy feat was achieved by A. Cox who took nine wickets for 13 runs against Bedford Modern. Resulrs May 17th v. Northampton G.S. Lost by 4 wickets. w.c.s.45. Northampton G.S. 46 f.or 6. May 2lst v. KetteringG.S. Won by 81 runs.

ATHLETICS Captain.' M. J. Sharman During the winter, Mason, B. A. Tall and Reading ran cross- country for wellingborough Athletic Club, and in the Northants. Junior Cross-Country Championship at on July 2nd. The first two finished equal fourth. N. J. Palmer was meanwhile competing for Geddington Boys' Club; he was placed first in the Northants. Association of Boys' Clubs Junior Cross-Country Championship, and as a result represented the County in the National Boys' Clubs' Championship at Chingford. It was found impossible this year, owing to the poor weather, to complete Standards before Easter. This meant that only a short time could be devoted to the remainder at the beginning of the Summer Term. In spite of this, the total number of Standards gained was the highest ever. The attendance at holiday training sessionswas dis- appointing, but perhaps the unsatisfactory weather was responsible. On Sports Day it seemed unlikely that any events would be held. but fortunately the rainy morning gave way to a comparatively fine afternoon, and the programme was completed. Performances were generally good, although no records were broken. In the Northants. County A.A.A. Championships, held at North- ampton on May 21st the following positions were gained : - 100 Yards, Junior: 3rd Sharman ; 880 Yards, Juniors: 2nd Mason ; One Mile, Junior: 3rd Mason ; Long Jump, Junior : Znd Sharman ; 880 Yards, Youth: lst N. J. Palmer ; One Mile, Youth: 2nd Reading ; High Jump, Youth : Znd A. A. Bayes ; Long Jump, Youth: lst A. A. Bayes 19'5" (a new County Record). In the Triangular Athletics Match with King's and Deacon's Schools we were once more successful. The Middle and Junior teams deserve congratulation, as the former won five out of six events, and the latter three out of five. Performances were good, but particular mention must be made of N. I. Palmer who won the Middle 100 Yards and 220 Yards. N. J. Palmer and Stanton both secured a 3rd place in the 880 Yards and 440 Yards Youths' Scratch respectively in the Open Meeting held at Duston on June l lth. We were pleased to see Corby Grammar School taking part in the Athletics match against Kettering and Northampton Grammar Schools held at Ketering on June 14th. Competition as usual was keen throughout, with Northampton the ultimate winners, due largely to their all-round superiority. Our boys performed well, but we must mention in particular: Mason, for his excellent running in the Senior Mile; N. I. Palmer, who won both the Middle 220 Yards and 100 Yards; Ball and Bonham, for winning the Middle 440 Yards and 880 Yards respectively; and finally Pine, who was the winner of the Junior High Jump. In conclusion, we should like to thank those who have given up so much time in our behalf. Resurrs Athletics Matches. June lst v. King's School and Deacon's School, Peterborough (Away).

HOUSE NOTES

DRAGONS House Masters : Mr. C. A. Pine. Mr. C. J. Ward. Mr. A. E. Sparrow, Mr.A. W. Leftwich Head of House; M. J. Green SchoolPrelects: M. J. Sharman, I. Griffiths(Secretary). M. F. Round House Prefects: R. H. Brawn, R. Leslie, R. F. Denton Since the publication of the Autumn magazine five cups have been awarded and Dragons have won three of them. D. O. Tall led the F{ouse to victory in the Music Competition, and for the second year running Sharman and the Athletics team carried off the Athletics Cup. After an interval of some years the House has regained possessionof the Ferguson Trophy. We came second in the Drama and Rugbl' Competitions but hope to do better next year. The following appointments were made at the House Meeting this terms : - Captain of Swimming, R. Leslie; Captain of Cricket, N{. J.

ll Green; Vice-Captain, I\4. Leeson; Captain of Junior Cricket, R. Bel- lamy; Vice-Captain, N. Wookey; P.T. Organiser, B. A. Tall. At the time of writing the Cricket Competition is well under way and in this we are doing only moderately well-the Seniors having drawn one match and lost one and the Juniors having won their first and drawn their second. We have a strong Swimming team and are hoping to regain the cup lost to the Stags last year. Taken as a rvhole, the House has had a very successful year. To conclude, we offer our best wishes to all Dragons who are taking their G.C.E. this term.

GRYPHONS House Masters.' Mr. J. G. Dunning, Mr. B. J. P. Tompkins Head ol House; G. G. Martin School Prefects: G. G. Martin, D. S. Wilson, M. D. Kitson, R. E. Chapman, I\,I. J. Palmer, R. J. Wrenn House Secretary; B. Westcott Since the publication of the Autumn Term magazine, five competi- tions have been decided, and the Cricket and Swirnming are under way. Although trying hard to retain our hold on the Cricket Cup, we are not doing as well as hoped, nearly all of our matches so far being draws. We started the year dismally by dropping to fourth place in the Rugby competition. The Seniors just saved us from complete disgrace by winning the last match of the three, while the Juniors lost every one of theirs. We hope this is not an omen for the future. Despite a good showing in the Music competition, especially from Wilkinson, who gave his usual polished performance, the standard of other Houses was so high that we were again placed fourth. However, we gained some consolation by winning the Drama Cup with "The Police Court", and we congratulate the producer, G. G. Martin, and the cast. In spite of an exceptionally good performance on Sports Day, lack of standards beforehand caused us to come second in the Athletics competition, although we won the Relay Cup handsomely. Special mention must be made here of the captaiD, A. A. Bayes, and of B. Mason and N. I. Palmer, all of whom ran excellently. We congratulate J. M. Robertson and R. P. M. Jolley on gaining their House Colours. Although coming last in two competitions, the worst was yet to come. Whatever hardships we had endured before, we could not withstand the loss of the Ferguson Trophy, which we had fondly come to accept as being rightfully ours. we sincerely hope that it will return to our ranks once more. Finally, we send our best wishes to all past Gryphons, and we hope that all who are leaving us will do well in all their future ventures.

t2 LIONS

House Masters.' Mr. R. V. S. Ward, Mr. J. H. Butler, Mr. J. P. Hyde Heqd of House: C. E. Garley School Prelects: C. E. Garley, R. J. Hawkins, M. E. Ridge House Prefects: R. E. Oberman (Secretary),R. D. Summers

This year began with a triumphal fanfare for the House. At last we were able to win the Rugby Cup outright, due to the excellent work of our Junior team and the dogged and inspired resistance of the Seniors. The House also gained the distinction of having one of her members, Gray, play in the final Junior English Rugby Trial. After these successes,the Athletics, Music and Drama competitions have all descended upon us, and have departed leaving the House rather the worse for wear. In the Music competition, despite the hard work of C. E. Garley and the unchallenged superiority of our choir, we could not rise above third place. Reliable sources, however, blame this defeat, no't upon the inferiority of the Lions, but rather the over-all superiority of two other Houses. "The Oak Settle" was our offering for the Drama Cup, and this little comedy created great amusement in the audience, but little in the adjudicator. The character acting of Hawkins warrants praise, but the final position of the play warrants a quick curtain.

Sub-standard is the only way to describe with any veracity our performance in the Athletics competition, for as ever we started well below other Houses in standard points on Sports Day. When standards are mentioned, every would-be athlete of the House seems to be over- come by a strange temerity and coyness. Nevertheless, Gray and his team acquitted themselves nobly on the field, and we were finally placed third. Three competitions remain to be decided at the time of writing. In the P.T. competition we are usually quite prominent, but rarely victorious, so it is to be hoped that a successhere will break our run of defeats. Should there once more be a lack of water in the pool at this year's Swimming Sports, we may be able to employ our athletics team to run the length of the bath, by which means we should at least improve our position of past years. The Cricket competition is still undecided, so it is quite possible for the House to make a supreme effort and win three cups.

During the year House Colours have been awarded to R. E. Oberman (House Play and Rugby), M. J. Brundell (House Rugby) and M. C. Gray (Rugby and Athletics). Finally we wish the best of luck to all members of the House taking G.C.E. examinations and especially to those who are leaving this term.

13 STAGS House Masters.' Dr. A. Jackson,Mr. H. C. Phillips, Mr. E. P. Butcher House Captain: J. B. Sauntson School Prefects : M. J. Newell (Secretary),J. B. Sauntson,R. J. Bradshaw House Prelects : R. Bedells, C. O. Gill, G. W. Kearsley, R. J. Warrington.

Since the Autumn publication, several cups have been contested but the Stags have, unfortunately, failed to collect even one. The Senior Rugby team was very weak compared with those of other Houses. It was soundly de.featedin each of its three matches. The Juniors were more successful,winning two of their matches very convincingly. The Stags' final position was third. In the Music competition the Stags were placed second, very narrowly losing to the Dragons. In the Dramatic competition we showed an improvement on last year. J. F. Bayes produced our play, and the House was placed third. The Stags were also placed third in the Ferguson Trophy competi- tion for work in School. The obvious moral to be drawn from this is that the Stags must work harder ! At the Summer House Meeting, Sauntson and Coles were elected Captain and Vice-Captain of Cricket, with Freestone and Cox leading the Juniors. P.T. Captain and Vice-Captain are Palmer and Jackson; Tye and Harris are leading the Swimming team. In the Athletics competition the Stags failed miserably, dropping from second to fourth place. This review shows that the Stags are passing through a disappoint- ing period. Neverthe less, we are favourably placed in the Cricket competition. We look forward to better days to come. Finally, we wish successto all Stags taking the G.C.E. this term, and we wish all leavers happiness and prosperity in the future.

PARENTS' DAY AND PRIZE - GIVING June 2nd, 1960

It was a great honour for the School to have as principal guest this year Lord Birkett, who distributed the prizes and give his name to the Music Room, which will be known as the Birkett Lecture Theatre after further building extensions have been completed. In a delightful address, interspersed with humorous anecdotes, Lord Birkett spoke of School life, the heritage of English Literature, Cricket, and-the art of making speeches! He stressed the importance of integrity, without which no successin life is worthwhile. The greatest accomplishment that any boy could acquire, he thought, was a mastery of English.

14 An appreciation of words and a valuing of language were priceless gifts. In these days of television, radio, and technology. the enduring satisfaction that came from the written word should not be lightly cast away.

In his annual report, the Headmaster said that, although the Minister of Education had deferred the building extensions,the County Education Committee had made such strenuous efforts on our behalf that the School now headed the list for the 1963 programme. The past year had been a successful one. Sixty-seven boys, more than ever before, had passed Advanced and Scholarship level examinations, 6 gaining State scholarships and 43 obtaining County major awards to Universities. At 'O' level 91 boys had an average of 5+ passesper head. About two-thirds of the Fifth Form now remained to take the advanced course in the Sixth Form-a clear indication of parents' support for the School and of their understanding of the opportunities available. In sport, the School had done quite well, and a very wide range of outside activities continued to flourish.

The Chairman of the Governors. Alderman E. A. Steele. presided, and Lord Birkett was thanked by lv[r. W. J. Penn, Chairman of the Northamptonshire Education Committee, and by the School Captain, G. G. Martin. After the Prize-giving, parents saw exhibitions of work and hobbies, and the School lst XI continued their match against an Old Boys' XI, which ended in a draw.

Tea for all visitors was once again provided by the Parents' Com- mittee, to whom we owe sincere thanks for their help in making the occasion so pleasant. The 1960 Prize-giving will be memorable not only for the visit of Lord Birkett, but also for the perfect weather which favoured the occasion. As a concessionto the heat, all boys other than prize-winners were permitted to discard their blazers.

DRAMATIC SOCIETY " LIFELINE " In selecting Norman Armstong's play about the Merchant Navy during World War II, the School Dramatic Society accepted a chal- lenge, for it is a play that bristles with difficulties for amateurs. Mature acting is required, in order to portray realistically the emotions of men suffering from the strain of life at sea in time of extreme danger. Stage management, especially on our tiny stage, is most difficult, and when the set is a merchant ship (at one stage, moreover, a ship on fire !) the problems increase. Sound effects include ship's engines, sirens, and enemy attack by sea and air. It is a great tribute to Dr. Jackson's production, and to the skill of all those who acted or otherwise assisted,that these difficulties were so triumphantly overcome. Large audiences throughout the week were obviously gripped as they watched, and, though at one performance the smoke did become rather stifling, were most enthusiastic in their appreciation. Perhaps the most acomplished performance was that of J. F. Bayes, as Chief Engineer Jim Lloyd, a dour Scot who loves his engines and his aspidistra, but first-rate acting also came from D. R. Carrington as Launder, the I st Officer, who grows in stature as responsibilities grow heavier. This was a restrained, mature interpretation, full of promise. R. C. Scott was very convincing as Captain McGrath, a strict disciplinarian, but a warm-hearted, God-fearing man. Other parts were most competently played by I. G. Prior (2nd Officer)-with a realistic Australian accent and a beautiful black eye-R. J. Bradshaw (3rd Officer), G. G. Hodgkins, B. Westcott, D. J. Harris, R. Leslie, P. W. Bratby, and M. W. Stevenson. A pleasing feature was the diction. There were very few words that could not be clearly heard at the back of the hall. The Stage Manager was Mr. M. S. Cheale, who worked extremely hard, with his willing assistants from the Railway Club, to provide an excellent set. So'und effects were ably handled by Mr. J. E. Barker, and Mr. J. W. Huddart was in charge of lighting. The Dramatic Society is also very grateful to Mrs. Cheale, who acted as wardrobe mistress, and to Mrs. J. H. Butler, who assistedwith make-up.

l6 HOUSE DRAMA COMPETITION The House Drama Competition was held on Friday, March 25th, the adjudicator being Mr. Alan Brown, of the Northampton Repertory Company. He congratul'ated all four Houses on the high standard of their performance, and made particular mention of the clear speech. which greatly contributed to his enjoyment of all the plays. The Houses were placed in the following order of merit : 1. Gryphons 75 marks 2. Dragons 70 marks 3. Stags 69 marks 4. Lions 67 marks Gryphons. in presenting"The Folice Court" (a short excerpt from "1066 and A1l That") accepted the risk of tackling pure farce, and succeeded admirably in overcoming the attendant difficulties. G. G. Martin's production was excellent, and the pace never flagged. D. S. Wilson, as the judge, gave a most mature performance, his sense of timing being superb. D. Carrington, as Columbus, M. Palmer, as Guy Fawkes, M. Kitson and B. Westcott as policemen, all contributed clever character studies. Dragons chose a comedy, "Chantry Farm", and entrusted the production to B. L. Vorley, who made good use of the stage, also succeedingin maintaining a brisk pace throughout. There were several entertaining performances, notably from M. Round, as a French art critic; D. O. Tall, as an unscrupulous dealer; and M. Spriggs, as a young maidservant with a soft spot for her employer's son. Minor blemishes were occasional "masking" and "effects" trouble. (That gun was much too late!). Stags presented "Mrs. Adis", a more serious play. J. F. Bayes produced, and also gave a most sensitive performance in the name part-that of a mother who gives shelter to a fugitive from justice, only to find that he has killed her own son. G. Hodgkins, as the fugitive, also did well. It was a pity that the lighting was so dim, and that some of the movement was awkward Lions staged "The Oak Settle", with R. Oberman producing. The comic scenes between Oberman himself and R. Hawkins were first- rate. Their portrayal of a couple of shrewd old country folk making a prosperous business of selling "antiques" to unsuspecting visitors was excellent, their posture and diction being most convincing. D. Harris was nicely relaxed as a smart young man-about-town, and P. Needle made a brave attempt to grapple with the most difficult part of all-a young wife. The production suffered from a loss of pace at times, some of the dialogue becoming rather tedious.

Gryphons, Dragons and Stags performed their plays a second time on Monday, March 28th, before a large audience of parents and friends.

SCHOOL CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY President .. The Headmaster. Chairmen: R. E. Chapman, D. E. Billing. Secretaries: P. T. Wooding, P. D. S. White. Committee : Mr. Holmes, Mr Huddart, N{r. Knight, Mr. Leftwich, and Officers.

Since the last issue of the magazine the following lectures have beenheld 9. "The Farmer and Nature", by D. Roberts. The application of science to farming was discussed in this talk. 10. "Televisiol", by R. Britten. The basic action of the cathode tube and the television camera were explained to the layman. ll. "Oil", by K. D. Billing. This was an exposition of the formation, extraction and treatment of oil. 12. "Evolution of Amphibia", by J. R. Taylor. The evidence o,btained from fossils was put forward to support the theory of evolution of these creatures. 13. "Precision Measurement of Time", by G. S. Woodhams. This lecture included an account of the various methods employed for the above purpose. 14. "Penicillin", by P. W. Ritchie. The history and manufacture of penicillin were expounded by the speaker. 15 "Principles of Flight", by P. G. L. Wrightson. The movement of air currents and the various factors affecting the stability of air- craft were considered. 16. "Possible Life Forms on other Planets", by P. R. Laughton. The evidence for and against the existence of life on various planets, was explained. 17. "Man's Ancestors", by R. J. Warrington. After distinguishing between primitive man and the apes, the speaker went on to give a brief outline of man's evolution. 18. "Glass",,by G. A. Dunkley. The structure and production of glass were discussed with reference to the chemicals used for making special forms of glass.

18 19. "Synthetic Fabrics", by D. P. Drage. The analogy betweennatural and synthetic fabrics was mentioned and the nranufactureof nylon described. 20. "Motion in Two Dimensions", by P. D. S. White. A demonstra- tion of the special properties of a particle describing a cycloidal path was included in this lecture. The average attendanceat the meetings was l5 and it is to be hoped that better support will be forthcoming in the future.

Royel Ir:rs.I:rrurtoNLEctuREs The following lectures have been attended at the kind invitation of Sir Lawrence Bragg, F.R.s. "Metals", by Professor R. King. "Chemical Reactions", by Professor G. Porter. "Magnetism", by Sir Lawrence Bragg, F.R.s. "The Eyes and its Functions", by ProfessorJ. Z. Young, F.R.s. "Famous Experimentersat the Royal Institution", by Sir Lawrence Bragg, F.R.s. Great interest has been shown in the whole series of lectures given to schools in the London area, and if possible these visits will be continued. We are indeed grateful to Sir Lawrence Bragg for affording us this opportunity.

MUSIC NOTES The Inter-House Music Competition, judged this year by I\{r. Neville Dilkes, Music Master at Corby Grammar School, was won by Dragons' House. The standard of performance and choice of pieces was generally good, although the pianists were inclined to choose pieces which extended them to their utmost limits. The strain of a critical audience invariably impairs the performance. Mention must be made of ambitious choice and successful performance of 1he Scherzo and Trio from Beethoven's "Trio for Flute, Violin and Viola" by members of Dragons' House. "Real Third Programme stuff", said the adjudicator. The Choir outing was enjoyed by everyone. A coach full of Choir members and friends sped along the M.l and on to Uxbridge, where, after valiant pathfinding efforts by the driver, we located the Organ Building Works of Messrs. J. W. Walker and Son, Ltd. There we were given a very warm welcome, treated to coffee and biscuits, and shown over the workshops, where our many questions met with ready answers. The afternoon visit to the Royal Festival Hall was interesting, although the music itself was disappointingly presented. Our return journey along the Motorway soon revived our spirits. Several boys have been working to convert an American Organ, which has been kindly given to us, into a one-rank pipe organ. This entails reversing the action of the bellows-they used to suck, and now

l9 blow-and the making of a structure io mount the pipes, which them- selves must be made from laminated paper tubes. If you have any old cardboard tubes you will not need again, we can use them.

Rehearsals of the joint High School-Grammar School orchestra have been enjoyed by all attending. Probably the members of the orchestra could say much about rehearsals from their angle. Here are some of the things the conductor seesand hears. There is the small boy hiding behind a bass drum, and at the other side of the orchestra. someone tangled up in yards of coiled brass tube--called by the knowledgeable 2nd Formers a "French Horn". This latter instrument usually elicits the comment "Cor!" from lst Formers, which perhaps points to excellent training in Modern Languages. The centre of the orchestra is usually empty, the usual occupants of the space being away at cricket or examinations. But it is all good fun and we often produce quite a good noise. Let us hope we do so more often as the time of the Music Recital approaches.

The Senior Choir sang the Anthem "O Lord most high", by Godfrey Sampson, at the Annual Commemoration Service and are working at "Tubal Cain", by Thomas Dunhill, for performance at the Summer Concert. The Junior Choir is also preparing for this concert, as is the Madrigal Group, which has recently suffered from its old complaint-lateness by several of its lady members. We hope a suitable remedy for this may soon be found.

THE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP The Christian Fellowship has continued to hold regular meetings during the lunch hour on Wednesdays. The attendance has not always been large, but the sessionshave been valuable.

There was a series of discussions during the Spring Term on the respective denominational emphases of members of the Fellowship. \Ye also had visits from the Rev. E. Wild. Diocesan Director of Education, the Rev. R. F. Robbins, a local Methodist minister, and a member of the London City Mission.

This term, the Fellowship has wrestled with a wide range of problems connected with the Faith, ranging from the Christian's use of the Old Testament to the relationship between Science and Christianity. One interesting variation in the programme was an informal tea meeting, when two students of Ridley Theological College. Cambridge, were open to interrogation about training for the ministry.

We have greatly missed the help and guidance of Mr. C. McCall- who left the School at Easter. We wish him and members of the Fellowship leaving this term every successin the future. Boys entering the Vth and VIth Forms in September are invited to join and strengthen the Christian Fellowship. SCOUTS "B.P.'s" birthday on 22nd February was celebrated with a party in which All Hallows' Guides joined. At the end of the Easter Term we toured the district collecting jobs for 'Bob-a-Job Week'. This was highly successful, and our total was slightly up on our last year's record. We raised over f20 and Pine headed our list.

We had nearly a 100% turn-out for our St. George's Day Parade. S. Allen carried our flag. The Summer Term has seen our usual out-of-doors activities-fire Iighting, cooking, bridge building, tracking and wide games. We are grateful to Mr. Day of Wellingborough Grange for permission to use his land.

In the Silverwood Cup our troop, led by Bird, was fifth out of eleven entries. Maybe we shall do better in the Gilbey Cup competition at Castle Ashby in July. We were all thrilled to see the Chief Scout at the County Rally at Althorpe where we spent the Saturday night in camp. G. Sharp joined the troop this term. The Seniors have kept busy. Holder has acted as Assistant Scouter whilst Mr. Stanley has been off Scouting. The Seniors all took their Fireman's badge and we are grateful to the Wellingborough Brigade Chief Oltcer for his instruc- tion. Dobney and Talbot have done their Thirty Mrle Hike for the Hiker's Badge and are working for the Duke of Edinburgh's Silver Award. Some of the Seniors helped at the Guides' County Rally on June I 1th. We are going to camp at Drum Hill (near Derby) 27th July-3rd August and hope the weather will be kind.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY We regret that Mr. C. McCall, who has helped the members for some years, left the Staff at Easter. During the Summer Term Mr. Delmon has been organising the various activities of the Society, although he, too, will be leaving us at the end of the term.

In April, a full programme of events for the term was arranged, which included several excursions to nearby photogenic villages and buildings, and also included a few indoor activities. The dark room has been used a great deal, particularly by First Form boys, who can now develop and print their own photographs quite satisfactorily.

The School has recently bought & 16"'i"t Cine camera, and films are being made of the more important events which take place during the School Yoar, such as Open Day, School Excursions, Athletics and Swimming Sports. The first reel of film was taken in black and white, and showed such promise that a colour film is at present being used.

2l on open Day the boys of the society staged an Exhibition of their best prints, and the many parents who visited these in the Fleming Laboratory were invited to vote upon them. As a result of .,River their votes, a photograph by R. p. Neville, IVb., entitled of Fire" was chosen as the Print of the year. Finally, on July l3th, most members of the Society will be visiting Ivlessrs.Kodak Ltd., and this will be followed by a party at the eni of the term. RAILWAY CLUB Preparations for Parents' Day were carried out by a considerable number of enthusiastic members and the resulting display, although it had rather a disconnected appearance,worked very wefi. the modifica- tions to the lay-out which are necessarysince the scrapping of the two baseboards which stood for so long in Room z are progiessing very well and should be completed during the next School year. on July l3th about 25 members, having made the journey from wellingborough overnight, will visit motive-power dep6ts at plymouth. Newton Abbot and Exeter. All boys interested in railways are reminded that rhe Railway Club programme depends upon their suggestionsand support. It is therefore very important that early in the Autumn Term suggestionsfor visits during the coming year should be received and a programme arranged which the majority of members are prepared to support. D. R. Hill, who leaves this term, has played a leading part in our activities for a long time. In particular, he has been an inspiration at our weekly meetings and the design of our lay-out improvements which are now taking place is largely due to his efforts. we wish him everv successin the future.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY The Natural History Society resumed its activities after the Easter holidays with about thirty boys attending the first meeting at quarries. In later outings, however, the attendance has averaged 12 members-a suitable number for expeditions. This term, outings have been made to Ditchford, Irchester, the river bank between Irthlingborough and wellingborough, and Grendon lakes; many interesting specimens have been seen and watched. Perhaps our most rewarding sight was that of a woodpecker feeding her young. An interesting activity of the Society has been the trapping and marking of small mammals in order to study their movements. The Society has also helped in two National surveys. owl pellets were sent to the Natural History Museum, London, to help study the variations in bone structure of British small mammals. Every year the Society has plotted positions of swans' nests in the vicinity of welling- borough to help judge the number of surviving swans in the country. This was continued this year. All boys interested in any branch of natural history are invited to meetings as announced at assembly.

a1 STAMP CLUB After some thought, it was decided to continue with the meetings again owing to the ever-increasingnumber of philatelists in the School. A committee was set up to organise this little community and within four weeks the Club had a membership of twenty, with the numbers increasingnearly every week. It now has a membership of 38. The Parents' Association kindly bought us two catalogues, of which we are very proud, and the School album now has a replenished stock of stamps. The main event of this year was the Speech Day exhibition. This, owing to feverish work by a dozen or so members rvho disrupted certain would-be-serious periods, was quite a success,but, as cricket detains certain members in the summer, it has been decided to dis- continue our meetings until September.

CHESS CLUB Most of our support has continued to come from the younger boys, particularly the First Formers. It is to be hoped that their interest will continue as they move up the School and that they will be able to develop their game.

In order to introduce these boys to competitive chess we have played matches against Wellingborough Junior School and Welling- borough Technical School. On both occasionswe lost heavily but the boys gained valuable experience and we hope for better things next year when all our team members will still be under 14. IV{eetingswill be held again next term, once or twice a week, and all boys will be welcomed even if they are only learners.

WELLINGBOROUGH GRAMMAR SCHOOL OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION

Chairman's Report - Summer, 1960

As usual, the main news concerns our sporting activities and the iVlemorial Sports Field. The Cricket Club has been electedto Division Two of the County League for the 196l season. We trust that this news may encourage many of you to join the Old Grammarians. It certainly shows that the League Officials (including F. R. Brown) are satisfied that we now have facilities for good cricket, so we must produce the fine team to go with them.

:J The Rugger Club fielded two teams for the whole of last season. and as some of you know, raised a Youth Fifteen too. To be able to field three teams indicates our own expanding playing membership.

The Pavilion has been erected, and its ddcor is in the hands of the Cricket Club, who continue to cut the field, and hope to lay piped water on to the field during the summer. The Rugger Club has laid a land drain to remove flood water which sometimes collects on the first pitch. We again held a successfulLadies'Night Dance. A recent venture is a weekly Whist Drive every Friday, which we hope may prove more worthwhile in the winter months. It is gratifying to hear of the continued excellent response to the "Pay as you learn" method of paying your O.B.'s subscription while at School. A strong and active membership is what we require. It only remains for me, on the Association's behalf,to thank Mr. Wrenn and the Staff for their assistance, to wish successto all examinees,and a happy holiday to all. K. J. Honres.

RUGBY CLUB REPORT The 1959-60 season did not prove as successful as was hoped. Both lst XV and 'A' XV have lacked the necessary thrust in the threequarter line. The Club, however, did make a great step forward when, for the first time, a Youth XV was fielded.

The full results for the season were : Points Played Won Drawn Lost For Against lst XV 3l ll I 19 165 276 .A' XV 2880 20 165 363 Youth XV . . 730 4 109 81 The captains for both lst and 'A' XV's during the season were hookers, Frank Fair for the lst and Graham Brown for the 'A'. Both played well and gave of their best, on and off the field of play. Bob Gotch skippered the Youth side with marked success. His play is always strenuous and he has been a fine inspiration to the younger members. Gerald Eady was the leading points scorer for the Club. totalling 48 points. He took the kicks for the lst XV and put over 4 goals and 12 conversions, to which he added 4 tries: a fine perform- ance for a front row forward.

Bob Bridgeford achieved 30 points with 10 tries scored and it was ploasing to see schoolboy Robin Leslie total the next highest with 28 points. He scored with 4 tries and 8 conversions. Fellow student Martin Gray followed with 2 tries, 9 conversions, and I goal. David Reading covered himself with glory in scoring 8 tries.

24 The Youth XV has proved a great success. This team has been formed to provide suitable Club Rugby for players up to and including l8 years of age. The formation of such sides by clubs in the area has been actively sponsored by the East Midland Youth Committee. Many attractive fixtures with similar Youth teams are available, and the Old Boys' Youth XV acquitted itself admirably during the season. The team is composed of recent school-leavers and, with the co- operation of the School, many schoolboys have played. Those players reading this report will agree that many enjoyable fixtures have been played. The Youth XV has been an extremely happy side. Two of its most memorable victories were the thrashing of the Wellingborough Youth XV by 35 points to 6, and the avenging, by 30 points to 6, of a previous defeat by the Old Northamptonians' 'B' XV.

The Club committee realises the great value that will arise from the playing of the Youth XV in future seasons. The lst XV vacancies in the seasons ahead will be filled by the present members of this team. All prospective school-leavers are welcome to a game. Club training will start in August each Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon, and further details will be available from the undersigned. D. G. Srn.rrrou,

UNIVERSITY NEWS

OXFORD C. BRERETON (Pembroke), is remaining in Oxford for another two years for some obscure reason. He is a good man for sizing up the potentialities of vacant plots near the town centre. He has proved himself to be generally unreliable by forgetting to attend various assignments.

G. ROSE (Wadham). Pleasant and humorous as always, our Gerald slides peacefully into the mire of finals. At one time we thought he might get a first, but such things are not discussed in the third year. He plays the guitar, and shares digs with W. W. S.-hence all his inspiration.

D. BROWN (St. Catherine's Society). After finals he is getting married. We wish him 'health and happiness always', as the local papers put it. We shall all willingly drink his health, if we get a chance. Afterwards he will live here and do research.

25 W. W. STEVENSON (St. Peter's Hall), is still a great extrovert, and is bent (not to say broke) on many philanthropic ventures. He is a source of moral(e) for third year people, and is not at all worried about finals-yot. After the exams. he will do research, or deliver coal, according to circumstances. D. T. STEVENS (St. Peter's Hall), is going to be a salesman after finals, as this is the quickest method of obtaining a car. He is still as large as life, and a good Rugby player. He realises that even during his last few weeks in Oxford he can make new friends, and so is speaking to other W.G.S. people ! P. R. SMEATHERS (Merton), appears to be cultivating friendship with the Head of his College (maybe he is worrying about his degree), who allowed him to steer a launch following the College boat. There was no danger to smaller river craft, since the launch was too decrepit to barge into anything. D. N. HALL (St. Peter's Hall). Never content with reading one sub- ject, he has taken up Anglo-Saxon. It is difficult to be certain of his intentions, but they seem to be directed towards the universal establishment of the mid-Northamptonshire dialect. Little has been seen of him socially, and he claims to have worked. J. WYKES (Christ Church). A quiet lad, who has kept himself out of trouble and work. He has passedhis German after much effort. When he and many of his friends had failed for the first time. their Tutor said he appreciated that they all had the privilege of failing once, but he did object to their all failing together. P. A. BIRD (Wadham). First impressions suggest he is innocent enough, but after prolonged association, doubts arise. He has done some work on account of pressing exams., but has found time to attend many social functions, including taking an Australian lreunde to the opera. K. BAILEY (St. Catherine's Society), is going for a short course with a Sheffield steel firm this summer. We hope he will not get involved there, as some people have done. Later he and A. J. D. are going to Austria. E. J. WOOD (The Queen's), gets no peace, and complains of people entering College in the early hours, via his room; he also objects to K. B. using his bath. One of his methods of avoiding hungry visitors, is to go away for week-ends to study his biochemical aspects of life. A. J. DOYLE (St. Edmund Hall). As a proud owner of a motor-cycle he has risen in society, and stopped hitch-hiking around here, which many of us have been doing. He is building a tape recorder. probably so as to have recordings of the anguished yells of visitors who experience his judo demonstrations. J. J. L. KNIGHTON (Balliol), is going to Canada for an indeterminate period. He has become a "chap", which does not go down well with everyone.

26 CAMBRIDGE BRIAN HOLSER (Queens'),finds Cambridge a bit of a change after Irthlingborough; hopes to inherit Mr. Painter's post on the spanish Society's committee, thanks to his skill, linguistic ability, and money. Attended John Paget Langley's 2lst engagement party at Irthlingborough Citadel. ROGER F. MILES. Open Scrr-olarin Natural Sciences at Selwyn College, has made a name for himself as an Open Scholar in Natural Sciences. His name figures in this year's Residents' List, published by W. Heffer and Sons at 6l-. DAVID cooPER (St. catharine's), has given up Natural Sciencesthis year. Was Chairman of his College Scientific Society. Contrary to rumour he did not fall to his death down a ravine near viet- Nam. DAVID FROST (Caius), divides his time between Scripts and Cabarets for the Footlights, T.V. and editing "Granta". Reads "Time and Tide", "Laundry Today", Cereal Packets, and English. TIM PAINTER (Caius). For , now read Grafton Underwood. Has exhausted the possibilities of work, and Mrs. Barbara castle. Was Treasurer of the now bankrupt Spanish Society, and writes cheques in his spare time. Attended John Paget Langley's 2lst engagement party at Irthlingborough Citadel.

N,IANCHESTER OSBORNE. The pressure of finals has meant rhat Colin has been seen but once this term. However, we hope he has been enjoying life and wish him the best of luck. ALLEN, our 2nd year Accountant, had the honour last term of cap- taining the University Bridge team which defeated Oxford, but now finds examinations so pressing thaf the discovery of just what is debit and credit, is even more important than the correct defence to 'Three No Trumps Doubled'. Such is the value of a University career ! CLARKE is beginning to wonder whether economics is such a 'splen- did' subject after all. He has obviously seen a particularly un- pleasant film this term; he keeps muttering something about that so-and-so "Ben FIam". Further activities have been curtailed by his first attempt at getting off his motor cycle while travelling at more than 30 m.p.h. !

NOTTINGHAM All quiet on the Nottingham front these past months. Weeks of singers with nervous twitches at the Theatre Royal, and continuous bickering over the plans for the country's first-ever civic theatre have left student and citizen bewildered and slightly dispirited. But they haven't affected the Nottingham contineent much.

27 MALCOLM THORNEYCROFT, who has been researching yet another year, is still very much in the post-graduate foreground, and looks like becoming a permanent piece of furniture if he stays much longer. JOHN SHARMAN remains a familiar figure in the further reaches of the union lounges, and rumour says he was voted "most charming man of 1960" by the girls of his department.

GRAHAM WEST, BRIAN WHITNEY And JIM WALPOLE finish their courses this year and are preparing to move on to pastures new. They deserve success.

MAX WYMAN has now left the Universitv and is writine a novel.

NEWS OF OLD BOYS

J. W. PENDERED, who spentsome time in Finland last year,has sent an interestingaccount of his experiences.He seemsto have been particularly impressedby the Finnish "sauna", which he describesas follows : "A sauna is a small room or hut about 8 feet square, preferably built by the side of a lake, with a large wood-burning stove in one corner. The fire is lit, and left for a couple of hours until the room becomes really hot-and I mean hot; one I went in was at 126"C. You then go and sit high up near the ceiling in the hottest part of the room. Immediately, you start to sweat, and after abottt five minutes you wonder why your body has not dried up completely. Worse, horvever, is to come. On top of the stove are some very hot stones, and when water is thrown on these it immediately vapourises, and fills the room with steam. Now dry air aL 126'C. is not too bad, but wet air at this temperature is apt to bring forth cries of "Help !" from tender English throats. At this point comes the really blood-curdling part. You take a bunch of leafy willow switches, and beat the living daylights out of yourself with it (to open up the pores, explain the Finns). As I mentioned before, it is desirable to have the sauna by the side of a lake so that, having been boiled, one can run straight outside and dive into the ice-cold water. In the winter, moreover, the Finns roll in the snow after taking a sauna ! This may sound a rather drastic way of keeping clean, but from personal experience I can promise that it is a most invigorating sensation."
