THE PETERITE Vol. LXIII OCTOBER, 1972 No. 387

EDITORIAL We are told by Jean Gimpel, author of 'The Cathedral Builders', that by the sixteenth century 'the builders were no longer those of the great epoch, that the people no longer had the faith which had motivated men during the rise of Christianity'. It took nearly two hundred and fifty years of 'the great epoch' for the present York Minster to be completed, and it was rededicated on 3rd July, 1472. In the five hundred years that have passed since that rededica- tion, what has happened to 'the faith which had motivated men'? There is a simple story told by Bernard Feilden, writing about the restoration of York Minster in the new book 'The noble city of York'. He recalls how he took the late Earl of Scarbrough, the High Steward of the Minster, 'up circular staircases and along galleries without much handrailing' to see for himself the extent of the Minster's troubles in January, 1967. Then he tells us: 'When Lord Scarbrough had seen enough we returned to the Deanery, and after getting clean from this dirty expedition, and while waiting for a cup of tea, Lord Scarbrough turned to me and said, "What would it cost to restore the Minster?" 1 replied that it was difficult to give a firm estimate because there were so many doubtful factors, but that I thought it would cost between £1.67 and £2.5 million. He looked me in the eye for what seemed like a minute and then simply said, "It can be done".' It has been done. For the cost of a first-class football team or of a sophisticated reconnaissance aircraft, the Minster has been restored. The triumph of York Minster in 1972 has shown not only that the faith still lives, but that if the Middle Ages was the great epoch' of cathedral building, the late twentieth century must surely be the great epoch of restoration, when it has been seen that only the most modern technology can save ancient buildings from destruction. The nature of the restoration we are only just beginning to appreciate fully. Within living memory until now York Minster as a building has suggested sombre splendour but little of delicacy. Now, both inside and out we see aspiring beauty, and we are aware that 'soaring Gothic' came to the colder north as well as to the gentler climates of Europe. The west front in low evening sunlight reveals all the subtlety of well selected stone, while the whole interior proclaims the harmony of thinking between the builders and the old Psalmist who wrote: 'I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord'. For the restorers have done more than a great feat of engineering; they have brought back light to a piece of inspired work that was built for the light. The Editor thanks the many contributors to The Peterite, and would , welcome correspondence and articles of general interest. I 1 CONTENTS

Sir Donald Barron, a Governor of the School with sons in St. Peter's, was made a Knight. Mr. B. H. Holbeche, formerly Senior English master and Housemaster of Queen's, and now Headmaster of King Edward's School, Bath, was awarded the C.B.E. * * * Mr. T. J. Lewis, O.B.E., a Past President of the Old Peterite Club, has been appointed to the Board of Governors by the Dean and Chapter of York. - * * * Two masters, both of whom came to St. Peter's in 1965, left in July. Mr. K. S. Clark taught Mathematics, and has been appointed Head of Mathematics at Norhan High School, North Shields, a new Compre- hensive co-educational school. Mr. Clark coached Tennis as Master in charge, ran Business Games and Computer Studies, and assisted in the Careers department; he played for the masters at Soccer and Cricket. Mr. A. J. Riley is to be a lecturer in Physical Science at Homerton College, Cambridge. He ran the Junior Science Society and formed the Field and Stream Association. As a pilot he helped to run the R.A.F. Section of the C.C.F., and was able to take many cadets flying at Church Fenton in No. 9 Air Experience Flight, the unit that he and his wife represented last Summer at a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. We thank both masters for the many contributions they made to the life of the School, and wish them success. * * * We welcome two new masters, Mr. S. E. Bray, B.Sc., from Hull University to teach Chemistry, and Mr. I. M. K. Lowe, B.A., from York University to teach English; Mrs. S. Kershaw, B.A., from York University will teach Maths for one year. We hope that they will all enjoy their time at St. Peter's. Mr. R. B. Daniel, B.Sc. (Edinburgh), has joined St. Peter's from St. Olave's. * * * Mr. P. M. Nixon will spend the Easter Term at Churchill College, Cambridge as a Schoolmaster Fellow. While he is away Mr. R. Hubbard will be in charge of The Grove. * * * On May 10th the Northern Secretary of the Public Schools Appoint- ments Bureau visited the School. * * * On May 11th, Ascension Day, members of the School took part in the Schools' Thanksgiving Service in York Minster. This is reported in more detail in this edition. 2

The House Music Competition was on May 18th. * * * The Choir took part in the Choir Festival at Ripon on May 23rd. * * * The School Scholarship Examination was from May 22nd to 24th. * * * The half term holiday was from May 27th to 30th. * * * The Music Prize Competition was on June 9th. * * * The Common Entrance Examination was from June 12th to 14th. * * * On June 28th all Lower Vlth attended a Vlth Form Conference at the University of York. * * * There was a party for parents of Lower Vlth boys to meet the masters on July 2nd; the same evening the special St. Peter's Day Service was held in York Minster, attended by the whole School. * * * 11111 Commemoration was from July 14th to 16th, and term ended after the Service on the 16th. * * * Half term holiday will be from October 21st to 29th, and term will end on Sunday, December 17th. * * * A recent book, "Munby, Man of two worlds", by Derek Hudson, tells the story of Arthur J. Munby who was at St. Peter's from 1842-1846. Another former Peterite, Guy Fawkes, has his name given to one of the recipes in the York Cook Book, which offers many delicious and interesting Yorkshire recipes, including Dick Turpin's Mulled Wine, Robinson Crusoe's Baking, and Emperor Severus's Ham. * * * The prize possession of the C.C.F., the Bell of the famous battleship `Duke of York', was removed in June from its tabernacle beside the naval mast, and must now be assumed lost. - * * *

MR. JOHN NIX From Mr. J. Dronfield, O.B.E., J.P., M.A. At the end of term we bade farewell to Mr. Nix, who has served as a member of the teaching staff of St. Olave's since April 1942, having thus spanned a period of a term over 30 years. Although Mr. Nix was appointed on a temporary wartime basis to replace staff on military service, and to teach mathematics in St. Olave's, his out-of-School duties and interests covered the senior school, too. For a time he was in fact assistant housemaster in the Rise. Mr. Nix arrived in York on 29th April 1942, his coming coinciding with the German air raid on the City, and he lost his luggage in one of the resulting fires. He had tried very hard, but unsuccessfully, to get 3 into one of the fighting services, and must have wondered, in his early hours in York, whether he had not been successful! Defective sight had however, ruled that out, and it was clear to all concerned that he could make his maximum war contribution in the teaching profession rather than in any other form of non-combatant service. During the war period Mr. Nix did indeed play a very full part in the many and varied activities which the times demanded. Fire-watching, blackout maintenance, preparation of shelters were among the daily tasks, and harvest camps were a strenuous summer holiday activity. The temporary aspect of his appointment was soon forgotten, since the steady expansion in numbers readily made us appreciate such a "find" to help with the post-war St. Olave's. Mr. Nix was specially interested in and expert on Scouting, and it was due to his efforts and the continuity he provided that the School Group rose to and maintained such a high standard both among School and local associations.

Mr. John Nix 4 Since Mr. Ping's retirement in 1955 Mr. Nix has held the post of Second Master in St. Olave's and has shown therein his marked capacity for organisation. His meticulous attention to detail has been of the greatest usefulness in the ever-changing post-war demands on the School curriculum and timetable, and he was always at his best in foreseeing and thus avoiding minor snags and pitfalls. He has ever given freely and unstintingly of his time for the good of the School of which he has long been so much a part. He will be greatly missed, and leaves with the united thanks and good wishes of everyone concerned with the welfare of St. Olave's and St. Peter's. Our sorrow and regret at his departure are tempered by the satisfaction that he is remaining geographically among us; perhaps we may say as a senior and symbolic guardian of our riverside fields! * * * AN APPRECIATION MAJOR-GENERAL J. C. LATTER, C.B.E., M.C., From the Revd. Geofirey Mountain, M.A., (O.P.). John Cecil Latter, who first represented Leeds University on the Board of School Governors and was later a co-opted Governor, died at his home, Riverside Cottage, Naburn, on July 7th, aged 76. Active almost to the end, his splendid physique enabled him to live a full life in many spheres. Born at Folkestone and educated at Cheltenham College and Trinity College, Oxford, he served in the First World War in the 2/5 Lancashire Fusiliers, and was awarded the Military Cross. He was intensely proud of his regiment and later wrote an important work, the History of the Lancashire Fusiliers 1914-18. After the war he was in the Diplomatic Service for two years and then took up a permanent commission in the Regular Army, becoming Deputy Military Secretary at the War Office in 1940 and then was transferred to a similar post in the Middle East in 1943. For this he was awarded the C.B.E. In 1945-7 he was Deputy Director of the Territorial Army and Cadet Force and retired from the Army as an honorary major-general in 1947. John Latter then immersed himself in a variety of public interests. He was a Founder of the Leeds Music Festival; he did much to promote the work of the Northern Gardeners' Association; he was a director of the Red Cross and in 1952 was Deputy Lieutenant of the West Riding. Although a bachelor, he was always concerned for the welfare of young people. Students at school and university, army cadets—these were his "family". In his army days he had edited and largely written a Cadet Training Manual and until 1955 was Chairman of the Combined Cadet Force Association. From 1948-52 he was secretary of Leeds 10 University Appointments Board and for many years was President of Leeds University Boat Club. It is significant that one of his last appearances as a Governor of St. Peter's was to attend the launching of a new school boat. But despite his high rank John Latter never lost the common touch. He was respected, indeed loved, by the men who served under him. His efforts were tireless to help widows and families of soldiers killed on active service. "Outward trappings", unless meaningful, meant nothing 5 to him and it was typical of him that he was one of the first officers to abolish compulsory church service parades. Those of us who visited him at his cottage at Naburn will remember him essentially as a simple man of great kindness and courtesy, who drew inspiration from his lovely garden and his records, especially those of Mahler. The School has lost a Governor who was a proud soldier, a scholar of no mean repute, an untiring public servant—and above all—a good friend.

COMMEMORATION, 1972 The Cricket Match against the Old Peterites started on Friday, July 14th, and the following day the Speeches and Presentation of Prizes were presided over by the Chairman of the Governors, the Very Revd. the Dean of York. The Prizes were presented by The Rt. Hon. Lord Boyle of Handsworth, MA., LL.D., The Vice-Chancellor of the Univer- sity of Leeds. In the evening, Mr. J. Dronfield, O.B.E., J.P., MA., unveiled the portrait of the late Mr. K. H. Rhodes, commissioned by the Old Peterite Club and painted by Mr. Mick Arnup. On Sunday, July 14th, the Revd. T. C. Willis (O.P.) preached the Commemoration Sermon.

SPEECHES AND PRESENTATION OF PRIZES -41 The occasion was honoured by the presence of The Rt. Hon. The Lord Mayor of York and the'Lady Mayoress, Councillor and Mrs. H. V. Boulton, and the Sheriff of York and his Lady, Councillor and Mrs. W. Richardson. The ceremony began with the following Welcome to Lord Boyle by R. Sharpe: Salvete omnes, Tribus annis prioribus tres viros, illustrissimum quemque et claris- simum in rebus litterarum et domi et externis, ad hanc contionem salutavimus. Quis non iam recordatur quanta cum eloquentia noster Anglicae Professor Linguae nos tanti referre admonuerit ut nostrum quisque suum revera ingenium et disciplinam sibi coluerit, quam facete et decore nobis indulserit Collegii Reginae praepositus, qualis fuerit auctoritas et doctrina Magistro Emmanuelis Collegii? Quid loqui in animo habet nobis praesens hospes? Id est quod mihi animum maxime excitet. Nam, ut ita dicam, sunt ventri meo quoque papiliones. nape ad salutandum festino, Edwardum Boyle, virum praeclarissimum et nobilissimum, Universitatis Leeds iam Vice-Cancellarium, non ob eloquentiam, industriam, benevolentiam, solum omnibus fama notissimum gentibus, sed quod etiam ei actum per vitam est totam, eo gratiorem et nobis iucundiorem. Qualem ei vitam! Nam ab iuvene se reipublicae totum dedit, et viginti abhinc annos quasi infans olim terribilis optima- tium primum in cursus honorum gradum ascendit, ex quo usque ad summum imperii fastigium, concilium interius, curator disciplinae et scientiae pervenit maxima cum laude.

' .-loyle with the Headmaster and the Dean of York. Chairman of the Governors acres semper versatur. Num quis dubitat quin stipendium maius curarum praesidibus publicarum sit persolvendum? Ita vero statuit hospes noster, et quaestio eius, haud dubie gaudio omnibus. Omnes hodie gaudemus, et benigne to salutamus, et gratias tibi summas agimus, quod contionem nostram tua praesentia illustrare vis. The Head Master then gave his report as follows:— It is appropriate in a year when we have seen the Minster restored to its splendour that I should take as a theme the sense of achievement. At the end of the academic year, I should wish St. Peter's School to feel a sense of achievement—and that not only in the conventionally admired activities (such as places at Oxford or Cambridge, or the University of Leeds, "A" levels, a good eleven), but also in the less conventional, less spectacular, less competitive areas (such as the workshop, the music school, or the lighting switchboard of the stage). This means a sense of achievement not just for the few, but for all. In a comparatively small School of four hundred, everyone is well enough known to the others to gain recognition for a service or achieve- ment. 1 hope you will see that it is not only today's prizewinners that are recognised. But please do not think that I want a lowering of standards, so that, as in the caucus-race in "Alice in Wonderland", "Everybody has won, and all must have prizes," no matter how slowly they've run or shoddily they have worked. This seems to me the silliest sort of sentimentality. The tennis player, the fencer, the potter, the physicist, only gain a sense of achievement from the particular discipline required—and if that discipline is skimped and the standards are slack, nothing is achieved, except the munching of a psychological carrot. Achievement rests on discipline. In an academic context, the good scholars set themselves a high standard of excellence, and aim high. They are to be congratulated. Even more to be congratulated are those without the quick, exam-loving mind, those who approach "0" levels in the lowest sets in each subjtct, and pass. There may be more achievement in a line of five "0" levels for one boy than an Oxford Scholarship for another. Our fastest sets will average 8+ "0" levels per boy; our slowest 3+. That 3+ is as much an achievement as the 81. Out of 38 boys taking 0" level General Science last year (and that means the bottom two Science sets), 35 passed. Whether that's an achievement for the Science staff or the boys matters not—it's an achievement. Of last year's "A" level candidates, just about half were 11 plus failures, most of whom achieved two "A" levels. Such gratifying results do not result from a narrow concentration on exam. work. Many exams. merely invite the candidate to deceive a stranger into thinking that he (the candidate) knows more than he really does. And we should be concerned with what he really does know or can do. There should not be a rigid distinction drawn between life in the classroom and life outside it. The preparation of an exhibit for a Science Fair, a surveying expedition in the field by the Geography specialists, a visit to the House of Commons by the Politics specialists, a play put on by a form—these examples suggest that life in the class- room need not be distinct from activity outside. Another clear example is our system of pupil exchange with the 7 Gymnasium Paulinum in Minster. Two members of the Lower VIth- Paul Demuth and Ian Stephenson—spent the Easter term in Germany, while St. Peter's welcomed two boys from the German School and another in the IVth form. And another example is that of the Business Games which our sixth- formers play. As well as the Chartered Accountants' Business Game, the School entered the Stock Exchange's Finance Game. In this the team was given £25,000 to invest over a period of three months, and despite a general stagnation of the market, the team managed to keep ahead of the index and make a profit. The staff and I are much concerned at present to find the right balance between work and recreation and between individuality and teamwork. I believe that if there is sufficient choice every member of th School can find the recreation that suits his temperament. In this extra-curricular part of School life we wish every boy to gain a sense of achievement for himself, and the answer seems to lie in diversity—a diversity, that is, of teams to belong to. The Head Master then passed to a review of the School's sporting and recreational activities, and continued: Among the tasks of Social Service undertaken this term have been regular visits to patients in Clifton Hospital by Sixth-formers, in col- laboration with Youth Action, York; and two projects that emanate from the Manor : at a Christmas party, the House entertained nearly fifty sufferers from multiple sclerosis and their families. And then about a fortnight ago the School was able to present to representatives of the Guide Dog for the Blind Association a cheque for £290 (the sum required for the training of a guide dog) raised in eight months by means of collecting silver paper and a raffle. These two events were initiated and organised by Mrs. Shuttleworth, and to her we are deeply grateful for channelling our otherwise rather vague altruism, and to the many helpers among the boys for their sustained efforts. In many of the activities I have mentioned, parents of those in the School have been brought into the School. I like to think of St. Peter's as a neighbourhood School, that is, one into which parents come for social gatherings. It is now possible for parents to invite themselves to lunch in the School on Saturdays (the cafeteria system makes a Saturday lunch a pleasantly informal part of the week); we welcome parents to our Family Communion Services once every two or three weeks, with the hospitality of coffee and conversation afterwards; they join us also for theatre parties, and the group gatherings such as a form play or the choir supper. This is a development I welcome, as frankly the vast public occasion—such as this—does not encourage informal spontaneous com• munication. I do hope that more parents will join in these less formal meetings. One type of meeting is, however, more seriously directed—the regular " parents' gatherings in Hall. Let me say a word about them and their purpose. The pattern of parents' meetings is now well-established to coincide with those points in the school life of a boy where important decisions have to be made. This year all parents of Vth form boys decided to become members of the Public Schools Appointments Bureau and con- sequently all these boys completed the P.S.A.B./Birkbeck tests and ques- I tionnaires in February. The results of these, together with the results 8 of the "0" level trial exams in March, were available for the Fifth Form parents' meeting held at the end of the Easter term. This information, together with the Interpretation Report on the tests, means that all three parties, boys, parents and staff, can talk fully and sensibly about "A" level choice and beyond. The candidates seem to enjoy doing the tests and the questionnaires, and agree that they give them much food for thought. In addition to the testing service, the £5 membership fee allows each boy to be interviewed at school and until his 23rd birthday (unless he goes to University) by an officer of the Bureau any number of times without further charge. The Bureau also offers other services, the most important of which to the boy is the opportunity to attend Careers Courses in the holidays. Details of membership and of how to join the Bureau will be sent out to parents of those boys entering the Vth forms next September during the summer holidays. Next term we hope to introduce a formal careers element into the General Studies of all VIth formers. This will be designed to give them the opportunity of discussing the variety of opportunities available beyond the VIth form and experiencing, through simulation, the types of decision situations they might come across in the world of work. After outlining some changes in the near future in administration and extra-curricular activities, the Head Master concluded: And so, at this interesting moment in the long evolution of the School, we look back and forward. I hope that you can see that our aim is based on traditions—not the traditions that consist of an ossified set of rules, not a tradition based on short-back-and-sides, and status, and the cane, and gerund grinding, and the barking of School Monitors— but based on the excellence of the many things the boys do in the School, the passing on of high standards, and a sense of responsibility to others. In this passing-on process, how much we owe to men of the past—such as the late Dr. Marcus Clegg, who was President of the O.P. Club for three years and subsequently a Governor. It was largely due to Dr. Clegg's enthusiasm, and to the fund-raising vigour of himself and Squadron Leader Lewis, that the Hall was extended to form the Memorial Hall as we now know it . . . . to the late General Latter, who as a Governor helped us so signally in the formation of a strong careers department and encouraged our rowing. How much we owe to John Nix, retiring from St. Olave's after over 30 years of service. To younger members of staff, to whom we bid farewell: Mr. Riley, chemist, geographer, aviator, and Mr. Clark, mathematician, computer expert, assistant careers master, tennis coach and organiser in the School of our teams in the Business Games. Yes, it is people that stimulate traditions. And even now new tradi- tions—in fell-walking, in astronomy, in exchanges with foreign pupils, for instance—are being established by enthusiastic members of staff and the boys. I am deeply grateful to the staff of Senior and Junior Schools, not only for their routine work, but also for the initiation of such interests and activities—and the sense of achievement they thus put within the reach of the boys in the School. The prizes were then presented by The Rt. Hon. Lord Boyle of Handsworth, M.A., LL.D., The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Leeds. There follows a summary of his address. 9 Lord Boyle, first paying tribute to the Latin Speech of Welcome, looked forward with pleasure to telling members of his recent committee on salaries for top men that the Speech included the well-known schoolboy tag "num quis dubitat quin"; and he hoped to send a reply in the same tongue to the orator, Richard Sharpe. This led him to praise the value of classics as an essential discipline in any university even though it might have few followers. Commenting on the Head Master's report of the school's contribution to cathedral music, Lord Boyle expressed the hope that the great tradition of such music from Taverner to Tippett would be kept alive in spite of some signs of movement away from it in the Roman Catholic Church. As Lord Boyle moved into the educational field, we were soon aware of the richness of mind that has made the former Minister of Education outstanding both as politician and academic. Emphasising that "there is no substitute for hard work in achieving resource", he declared, "master your own language", and illustrated this by showing the value of clear language particularly in the Civil Service. Speaking of universities, Lord Boyle regretted that student affairs seemed to attract the publicity; and while he did not mean to suggest that such affairs were unimportant, he felt that we should consider the purpose and function of a university. A university was not a "7th, 8th and 9th form". It was a place where there should be teaching at high level by people inflamed with their subjects. Discipline in its true sense was essential in the arts and sciences to equip the mind for solving the problems "round the corner" rather than those of the recent past. Lord Boyle did not agree with the prejudice sometimes felt against social science, but he said it was necessary to follow social science as a serious discipline based on adequate knowledge of Mathematics and Statistics. Another function of a university was the validating of standards, for example in the granting of medical degrees. In general, Lord Boyle saw a university as a centre of free discussion; and as a former politician he did not mind audible interruption and dissent. But he gave this warning: "the enemy of free discussion is disruption", explaining that disruption is quite different from dissent. Lord Boyle suggested that in schools and universities two extreme views must be avoided; on the one hand the cynical view that "everything in life is a racket", and on the other the smug view that in school or university "we are defending the citadels of virtue". To him, respect without unthinking deference was the theme for a happy community. D.G.C.

D. W. Grice, the Head of School then thanked Lord Boyle f presenting the prizes and for his address.

CHAPEL NOTES In recent years the pattern of services in the Chapel has changed considerably. Several new experiments have remained as part of our normal scheme. The Family Communions several times a term come into this category. Now the marking of Saints' Days by an evening Com- munion with hymns is becoming an accepted part of our worship. And it looks as if the presence of the Wind Band on Tuesdays and the singing of Choral Evensong by the choir once each term are both establishing themselves. A much valued part of Chapel life is the course of a week's services taken by a member of staff or a group of boys. This term Mr. Duncan spoke to us movingly about his own conviction of Christ and the work of spiritual healing and Mr. Hubbard led us in four short services based on the virtues of Courage, Patience, Self-Sacrifice and Personal Integrity. Incidentally he introduced us to a splendid "new" hymn-tune in the 1 form of Handel's "See the Conquering Hero Comes." The term ended with a fine Commemoration Service at which we were glad to welcome an Old Peterite, the Reverend T. C. Willis, as the preacher. The choir excelled themselves in S. S. Wesley's great anthem "Blessed Be the God and Father." We are most grateful to the other preachers who visited us: Dr. erek Goodwin of the Physics Department of York University; the Reverend John Briggs, Chaplain of St. John's College, Durham, who iD 15 brought with him two students, Andrew Clark and Chris Rudd (who sang to her own guitar accompaniment), and Mr. John Shannon, one of our Governors and Chairman of the York Civic Trust; as well as the Dean of York, who presided at the Family Communion on June 4th. It is so easy to overlook our debt to the "regulars" who help loyally week after week; the Wind Band, the faithful choir who have turned up in such good numbers at the Family Communion; David Grice, Peter Nash and David Mountain, who have played the organ at our voluntary evening services; the servers and our two Chapel Monitors of the year, Richard Hornby before Christmas and Richard Sharpe afterwards. And I would like to add my personal appreciation of the splendid example of the succeeding Heads of School, Robin Walker and David Grice. Week after week the flowers are beautifully arranged by a large number of ladies who have been brought in by Mrs. Nix. We greatly appreciate what she and they are doing. In this connection our thanks are due to David Livingston (this year's winner of the Frank Pick Prize) for designing and Mr. Dawson for making two most attractive metal flower stands whose height can be adjusted. Last, but by no means least, I must thank Ronnie and Maisie Allenby and Bill Brown, their assistant, for all their hard work in cleaning and tidying the Chapel each week. What a number of people are involved behind the scene!

SCHOOLS' THANKSGIVING IN YORK MINSTER As part of the Thanksgiving Celebration for the restoration of York Minster, the schools of the City were invited to take part in a special Service on Thursday, May 11th, 1972. St. Peter's provided a Prayer of Thanksgiving, mainly composed by the IIIrd Forms, and this led into the climax of the Service, the singing of the great Old Hundredth Psalm. 1st Voice: The Minster stands high above us, dwarfing the City of York. Mastering devastating storms, it has stood throughout the centuries. Unscathed by war, it still stands in overwhelming beauty. 2nd Voice: We pray today, here in this living monument to the life of our Lo and give thanks for the skills of the workmen who built and renovated it, the technology that went towards restoring it, the kindness of the people who have given to the appeal, the various departments, bodies and organisations which have hel in the restoration, the fact that it had survived so long before restoration was need and finally we thank you, Lord, for the Restoration itself. 16 rd Voice: Let us make reply: We thank you, Lord, (Pause) For the renovators . who have so gloriously revived the majesty of the Minster: We thank you, Lord th Voice: For the carvers who devoted their lives to their art, performing intricate details on even the most concealed works: We thank you, Lord 1st Voice: For the stonemasons who have shaped the stones to perfection and placed each in its proper place in the house of God: We thank you, Lord 2nd Voice: For the clergy and laymen who have given devoted service in this great building in each generation : We thank you, Lord 3rd Voice: For the choirs and congregations who have filled this house with rejoicing echoes down the centuries: We thank you, Lord 4th Voice: For the glaziers who have thronged the windows with saints and kings, with men and beasts, in a blaze of colours: We thank you, Lord 1st Voice: For the engravers who have patiently carved each detail, each letter on the monuments that surround us: We thank you, Lord 2nd Voice: For the men of vision who saw the Minster in their minds' eye and who made it real: We thank you, Lord All four Voices: And we all thank you for the gift of sight by which we can enjoy shape and colour and the gift of hearing by which we can enjoy music and song. And we join our voices together to sing your praise: All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, Come ye before him, and rejoice.

17 MUSIC CHOIR NOTES The Choir sang Evensong in York Minster on the Eve of Ascension Day and attended the Royal School of Church Music Festival in Ripon Cathedral. The Choral Evensong for St. Peter's Day in our own chapel, the St. Peterstide service in the Minster and Commemoration were also highlights of the term. Socially, the revival of the Choir Supper is note- worthy. Members of the Choir were given the chance to bring guests, which was interpreted by the majority as meaning parents. The School provided a fine meal for 50 of us and entertainment was supplied by the leaving members of the Choir—John Craven, John Pearson, Peter Rivers, Peter Bell and Peter Nash—a happy thought of theirs and much appre- ciated by the audience.

VICTORIAN EVENING In the last issue of this magazine it was reported that the Gentlemen of Japan were still in action and were awaiting developments. Their efforts eventually appeared in the form of a Victorian evening compered by Mr. Hubbard in the delightful setting of the Music School lawn. The singers gave an assortment of glees, partsongs and Pirates of Penzance selections: the ubiquitous wind band played waltzes and marches: the organists continued their search for the chord that eludes them (assisted appropriately by the Chaplain) and the Head Master transformed the gentle garden into the fearsome ravine of a railway cutting to chill our spines with Dickens's Signalman. Refreshments completed the enjoyment of this unusual and varied entertainment.

STRING ORCHESTRA The orchestra has worked mainly on Mozart's Eine Kleine Na musik, of which it performed the first movement at the Victorian evenin Unfortunately a Lyke Wake walk depleted the numbers rather drastical and those who rallied round did very well in difficult circumstances.

WIND BAND The band has been active in many directions, playing for Chapel on many Tuesdays, supplying atmosphere to a garden party, and appearing at the Victorian evening. Their theme tune seems to have been "Ain't we got fun" and what better slogan could any band wish for?

HOUSE COMPETITIONS The competitions postponed from the Christmas term were held in May. The singing was outstandingly pleasing both from the quality point 18 of view and the spirit which it obviously created. A wide range of songs made the event avoid the repetitive nature of last year's event. The instrumental competition was equally varied and of good overall standard, though it lacks the feeling of a full House competition as it is restricted to the specialists. The Cape Cup was won by School House and the Baird Cup by Temple.

MUSIC PRIZES The competition was held this year in Chapel, which enabled the organists to compete and also let all performers benefit from the acoustic which is so much more sympathetic than the Hall. A very good entry and fine playing made the entertainment worthwhile, but the problem of allowing the judges time to deliberate is difficult for the audience. The panel of judges was more confused with the mathematics of adding up and scaling down than with the actual verdict. Next time we must simplify this or have a computer on the panel. The Keyboard Prize was won by David Mountain with noteworthy performances also by Tony Robinson and Peter Nash. The Orchestral Prize was won by Peter Rivers with an almost faultless performance of the Poulenc Flute Sonata. K.R.P.

C.C.F. NOTES With a year free from an inspection, training was within the Service Sections rather than on a Contingent basis, but it is from the Contingent as a whole that we shall miss two personalities. In this edition of The Peterite there is a special appreciation of the late Major General J. C. Latter, who was a Governor of the School. In recent years he was not able to get about easily, and thus few members of the CCF would know of the General's great personal interest in its affairs. He was frequently asking the Commanding Officer about the Contingent and about trends in the CCF generally; for he was a Vice President of the CCF Association and had had a large part in shaping CCF policy. Among the hierarchy of very senior Officers guiding the CCF General Latter was very much our friend at court. If the late General Latter was our friend at court, we might say of Flying Officer A. J. Riley, who has left the School, that he was our man at Church Fenton. Cadets of all three Service Sections had reason to be grateful to Flying Officer Riley for his easy arrangement of flying in the Air Experience scheme; for he was one of the pilots in No. 9 Air Experi- ence Flight at RAF Church Fenton. We shall miss this important connection; but we shall miss, too, Flying Officer Riley's own high standard as a CCF officer and his background of Royal Air Force experience. In summarising the year's training, we should note that it has been more difficult this year for the Army to give the range of help that we. have sometimes had. But it needs little imagination to realise that the pressure on the Regular Army has been so great that Cadet Forces could not expect to receive any priority, and it would be appropriate here for those 19 of us who have a connection with the Services through the CCF to pay tribute to the unhappily large numbers of the Regular Army who have been engaged in the solemn and deadly work of maintaining order within our own islands. They have the admiration of all reasonable people. Among the Cadets who have now completed their service, we should mention Under Officers J. A. G. Craven and A. C. B. Stow. They have given much to the Contingent and will no doubt have gained much from it. For the second year running, Under Officer Craven was awarded the Fernie Cup which is given by the consensus of Officers' opinion to the year's outstanding cadet. D.G.C.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S AWARD SCHEME The enthusiasm of the younger members was maintained this term in spite of the poor weather for expeditions. Usually, even in the cold North, we can count on a better summer than this. The rain was so unremitting before one Preliminary Group's camp that their projected site was under water, but the boys nevertheless had a change of scene, and "camped" in the school gym. They looked a bit tired next day. At Bronze level 29 boys completed the Award and followed a wide variety of pursuits in this commendable achievement, which was spurred on by Mr. Hamilton. He particularly encouraged orienteering, but with the support and advice of other staff the boys' hobbies were able to range from ornithology to squash and car mechanics. One group went cycling on their expedition—a new enterprise—and the projects associated with expeditions included a study of wild life, church history, and archi- tecture. This was an altogether encouraging season, and many of those who completed the Bronze Award will doubtless go on to greater things. P.M.N.

WALKING CLUB This term has been a very successful one for the club, and the thanks for this must go to Mr. Wise and to the enthusiasm of the members rather than to the weather. The club covered 59 miles in the term, an excellent figure, which we were only able to achieve by having an early lunch to lengthen the afternoon. Highlights of the term's walks must include mention of a very enjoy- able walk in Riccaldale, where the club divided into two and attacked the valley in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. A ten-mile walk round Glaisdale Moor and Great Fryup Dale proved to be more of a bog-hop than anything else, and one member of the club was lucky to recover his boot from the jaws of the mud. Later in the term, walks tended to include a spell of aquatic sports. Of these, there was a short walk near Filey, and a row on the lake at Boltby, and lastly—to close the term in style—there was the Strid. 20 1 One unusual afternoon was spent mowing the grass in Flaxton church yard with sickle and scythe. The pain caused by the gigantic insects which inhabit such remote parts, however, was compensated for by the orange-juice, provided by a local church helper, and by coffee at the Wises' afterwards. A Lyke Wake Walk was undertaken in the last week of term under the auspices of Messrs. Wise and Leng, whom we thank for their assist- ance. Eight people completed the 42 miles: David Grice, Peter Rivers, Phil Challis, John Pearson, John Dalgleish, Richard Sharpe, Andrew George and Sam Taylor. Over the year, 1971-72, the total distance covered in regular walks was 150 miles, and some of those who also did the Lyke Wake Walk covered a distance of 192 miles, namely John Dalgleish, Richard Sharpe and Sam Taylor. Other "Colours" walkers are John Exell and Mike Cluff; and, of course, on all walks there was the School bus making its presence felt. R.S.

MOUNTAINEERING CLUB In the Mountaineering Club notes which appeared in the last edition of the magazine, reference was made to the Yorkshire Ramblers Associa- tion. This should have read: "Yorkshire Ramblers Club" (founded 1892), to which we are greatly indebted for their considerable assistance, and in particular to Mr. R. B. Wharldall (O.P.) for his many kind gifts to the Club.

The Summer term has been quiet as far as the Mountaineering Club is concerned. Many of its most active members have been occupied com- pleting the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme (Bronze level), involving quite strenuous expeditions on the North Yorks Moors. Orienteering has been adopted as a weekend activity by some other members of the Club, with no small measure of success. The more significant achievements in this field include: Lindley Moor Orienteering, in which G. Pritchard was placed 6th out of 56 and Middle- ton Woods Orienteering, in which P. S. Spencer was 6th and P. M. Brooker 7th out of an entry of 65. D.H.H.

DEBATING SOCIETY This term is not customarily one when meetings of the Society are held, but an exception was made and two meetings were held. The first was a meeting of the Middle School Debating Society held at Queen Anne Grammar School. The topic under discussion was "Abortion" and some very interesting viewpoints were put forward, mainly by the female section of the meeting. The second meeting was an internal balloon 21 debate held during the last week of term in the Stephenson Room. In the Balloon were John Hudson, Chris Brown, Chris Monro and Pete Strachan. Respectively they represented George Hudson— "the Railway King," Chris Brown, Eric Morecambe—of Morecambe and Wise fame, and Santa Claus. By a large majority Santa Claus triumphed, standing on the ticket of an "extreme antimaterialist." The Society has had a reasonably successful year, and it is to be hoped will continue to flourish in the future. Preparation of a speech beforehand is essential to all good debating and must be encouraged. Lastly, to the Committee and Mr. Depledge, many thanks for all they have done for the Society. To John Hudson, who will be President next year, the best of luck. S.R.

YOUNG FARMERS' CLUB The only meeting this term was an outing to Middlebrook Mushrooms Ltd. of Brayton near Selby. Fifteen members of the club, accompanied by Mr. Coulthard, were shown round the farm by Mr. J. P. Winder, general manager. The visit proved to the club what Mr. Winder had said at a school meeting in the Christmas term, and was a very interesting trip, showing what a technical and accurate process mushroom farming is. On Friday, July 30th, in the Geography Room, a new club committee was elected for the following year. The following were elected to hold these positions in the club: Chairman P. B. Johnston; Vice Chairman and Minutes Secretary D. Fotheringham; Secretary A. J. Thornton; Committee members A. Fen- wick, J. R. Swiers; Treasurer P. Brumfield. Finally, on Thursday, July 6th at 6 p.m. there was a meeting of the Club Advisory Committee together with the new and retiring committees. Mr. C. C. Dee joined the Advisory Committee on that day for the first time. The purpose of this meeting was to find possible speakers on the following topics put forward by the club: new cereal varieties; stud farming; new livestock breeds and their breeding, particularly in cattle and pigs; some aspects of sheep farming; some form of poultry farming; and forestry. I should like to thank the retiring committee for all the work that 41 they have done for the club to make it so successful throughout the year, and also Mr. Coulthard for his help and advice. D.P.A.

THEOLOGICAL SOCIETY During the Christmas term there were two meetings of the Society The first comprised a talk by Mr. J. P. Rigby on Roman Catholicism This meeting was well attended and lively. The second meeting had th Revd. David Watson as speaker, taking as his theme the Holy Spirit an its meaning. 22 The Easter term had three meetings with a wide range of speakers. Mr. Richard Sharpe of the School spoke on Primitive Religions. He covered a vast subject, providing the archeological and anthropological bases for a series of religious beliefs. For the next meeting an outside speaker, the Revd. Geoffrey Lawn, came to speak on the Re-Union of the Churches. Mr. John Mitchell in the final meeting spoke on Christian- ity and the Supernatural. This was generally considered the best of the season and provoked much thought. The society would like to thank all the speakers, and the Chaplain for his help in arranging the meetings. I.T.W,

MOTOR ENTHUSIASTS' CLUB Once again the club has had a successful term. The first meeting was on April 27th, when a film evening was held in the Lecture Theatre. We were fortunate to have three very good films from the Castrol Film Library, probably the best we have ever had. The following Thursday we received a visit from Ron Sissons of J.C.T. 600 Ltd., who brought along a Saab rally car and a Porsche 911S. The rally car, which had taken part in rallies all over Europe, was due to enter for the Welsh Rally the following week, driven by Jack Tordoff, winner of the York 1900 National Rally in 1971. We were provided with several rides in the car, an extremely good talk and a "look under the bonnet." On May 7th an outing to Croft Aerodrome was most worthwhile as the meeting was a national one. We saw a car "flip" on Railway Straight and Gerry Marshall, driving his Firenza, was in superb form. On May 21st another outing took place, this time to Harewood Hill Climb, and the outing was enjoyed by all. On June 1st Mr. Daniel was due to bring his Dragster to us, but unfortunately it was involved in a nasty accident the Sunday before it was due to come and no meeting was held. It is to be hoped that Mr. Daniel will be able to bring his Dragster and talk about it in the future. One other outing took place during the term to some auto tests at Scarborough. On June 18th we were due to receive a visit from Rowleys of Brad- ford, who are distributors of Jensen, Lotus and B.M.W., but an extra- ordinary meeting of the shareholders the very morning of their proposed visit led to cancellation due to sacking of leading people in the garage! Timothy Wood, who is the sales manager, has agreed to come over in the future and his visit should prove most worthwhile. The final meeting of the term was held on the last Thursday when Tony Raylor, an Old Peterite, brought his V-12 Jaguar, gave a talk and gave rides. We are most grateful to him for giving up his time to come and see us. I Not only this term but also this year has been an extremely successful one for the club. My thanks must go to the committee, for all their hard work. Charles Hodge will be in charge from September and I hope that he will give the club what it wants and needs. Finally I would like to thank everyone for the help and consideration they have shown, particularly Paul Newdick, who has worked extremely hard during the year. S.R 23 RADIO FIVE Last term we reported a considerable amount of success for the School Radio Station. In relation to that success the change this term has been almost unbelievable. It all began on the first Sunday of the term when a sponsored swim to raise money for new studio equipment raised £105. From then onwards purchases of new equipment occurred repeatedly. A new studio in the form of a Portakabin, a cassette tape recorder, a new amplifier and new microphone, a second record deck and finally a pair of headphones were all purchased within two months. With all this new equipment the whole system of broadcasting took on a new form. Record companies were approached and promotional records obtained from them. Special thanks for all their help must go to Des McKeogh of Charisma, Ricky Hopper, head of Promotions at Transatlantic and Craig Thompson of E.M.I. Special Promotions Department, who came to visit us. These promotional records are of the highest quality, and from the Charisma record label we are now regularly receiving their latest single releases. Due to a major technical fault it was not possible to begin broad- casting at the beginning of term; however, once shows were in operation the enthusiasm to participate and listen seemed to have greatly increased. As previously the programmes were for the most part on the lines of Radio One, the term seeing a total of 202 hours broadcasting. Pete Webster and Dave Snowdon kindly carried out a pop poll survey which revealed amongst other things that Lindisfarne were the most popular group and that Mr. Pemberton of the Music School was the best musician. Throughout the term the standard of broadcasting was high. Particular mention for their work must go to Pete Wilkinson, Brian Macartney, Graham Hunt, Simon Clark, Mike Drucquer, Chris Westropp, Gavin Warnock, John Hudson, Tony Gee, Chris Brown, Mike Naylor, Tim Young and Neil Bowen. One Saturday John Craven provided us with a special show of 78 r.p.m. records which was enjoyed by all who listened. Nick Blitz, an Old Peterite and occasional Radio Monte Carlo broadcaster, came and did several shows for us. Shows of a different nature to the norm must always be encouraged; originality is a valuable quality. A third school concert was performed in the Hall during the last week of term. This proved most successful, with performances from In Memory Of . . .,Gavin Warnock, Pete Godwin, Robin Scott and friends and Steve Parker. This concert was well received and thanks must go to all the performers for the hard work that they put in. Also during the last week of term there were additional broadcasts and on the last Saturday a demonstration of how Radio Five works, with a three-hour show and a visual demonstration of what happens; an interesting pro- gramme was put forward. Finally, on behalf of Mike Drucquer and myself I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped us during the past year. A radio station such as ours could, and I hope will be, as much part of the school extra-curricular programme as anything else. It takes a lot of skill, hard work and planning to put on a good show and often for little apparent reward. To Mr. Anderson must go a lot of thanks, for he has worked unrelentingly for Radio Five and no doubt will continue to do so next year. To Gavin Warnock, who will be the Director next year, I wish the best of luck, and hope that in his year in charge of Radio Five it takes as vast a leap forward as this rewarding one has done. S.R. 24 YORKSHIRE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY SCIENCE FAIR This was held to mark the 150th anniversary of the society, as the promotion of scientific studies in Yorkshire had been one of the aims of the society from its beginning. The Fair took place on July 5th and 6th at the St. John's College Laboratories, Heworth Croft. While most of the exhibits came from schools in York and district, contributions were also available from Colleges of Education, Further Education and societies such as the York Amateur Radio Society, the York and District Field Naturalists Society and the York Excavation Group. Many visitors found the room allocated to primary schools the most impressive. St. Peter's supplied four out of the total 63 exhibits. Among the physics items the Linear Motor, a prominent feature of the 1971 Science Exhibition, was once again in evidence. Mcllroy and Keyes had con- structed a smaller model comprising two motors in series, mounted face to face so that they could be placed on a vertical aluminium track for self propulsion. While the electrical power consumption was adequate, the motive force was insufficient without further modifications in design. The second physics exhibit, by Ferguson and Duckling, attempted to discover the intensity distribution at different frequencies of the sounds in cars at varying speeds. A filter circuit was constructed which could be tuned to pass predetermined frequency signals, whose strength was measured on an oscilloscope. Gatiss and Creasy demonstrated various methods of preparing metals such as electrolysis of fused salts and reduction by charcoal. Samples of commoner metal ores were also on display, together with diagrams of commercial processes. Accounts of researches into the preparation and properties of poly- mers were provided by Senior and Berry, N. C. Demonstrations included the production of one form of nylon and of casein, and the effects of acids and alkalis on fibres. P.L.H.

GUIDE DOG FOR THE BLIND Since last October Mrs. Shuttleworth has organised the collection of silver paper, and the distribution of collectors' cards to raise money for the training of a guide dog. Many of the boys in both St. Peter's and St. Olave's, the staff and the auxiliary helpers have all been involved, and were so successful that by the beginning of the Summer term the target of £250 was within sight. A raffle was then organised by Mrs. Shuttleworth and four Manorites, A. G. Beadnall, R. M. Harland, M. S. Ray and A. J. Thornton. Gifts were very generously given by many of the local shopkeepers, over 1,000 tickets were sold, and the target of £250 was passed. At a ceremony in the School Hall, the Head Master welcomed Mr. J. W. Bailey, the North-East Area Organiser for the Guide Dogs for 25 the Blind Association, himself blind, his wife and Mr. Lacey, who was also blind. He thanked all who had helped to raise the money and had collected the silver paper. David Grice, the Head of St. Peter's, and Charles Anelay, the Head of St. Olave's, then each handed over a cheque to Mr. Bailey, the total amount being £290. Mr. Bailey thanked the School for their tremendous effort, and talked to those present about the training of guide dogs. He then presented a framed photograph of an alsatian, Saxon, the guide dog sponsored by the School. Mr. Bailey drew the raffle, and though many of the prizes were won by friends of the School, an enormous cake was won by Mcllroy of School House. G.M.S.

FORM PLAYS THE FIRST CIRCLE By Solzhenitsyn, abridged for play, and performed in June, 1972, in Hall by MB' The play opens in complete darkness, and the narrator (B. Creasy) tells us that we are about to see some of the life which was shared by the prisoners at Mavrino, a special prison camp, in Russia. Special indeed —for its prisoners are all geniuses: scientists "employed" to invent gadgets for trapping people for crimes of indiscretion—the same crimes as those at Mavrino had committed five or ten years ago—such as criti- cising Stalin in private conversation. As the lights go up, we see some newcomers being introduced to the "old hands" of Mavrino: to them, after having experienced labour and concentration camps, Mavrino is like heaven—but we are shrewdly informed that this is no heaven, but the first stage of hell, the First Circle imagined by Dante. By and large, the diction was good—with especially good, clear words from Yakonov (J. Thomas). The lighting was simple, and yet very effec- tive, and the costumes, even if a little ill-fitting, also added to the effect. Probably the most moving moment was when Spiridon (P. Widdi- combe) gives a letter from the "outside world" to Nerzhin (M. Haw) to read; and the conditions of his relations are deteriorating, and Spiridon is moved to snatch the letter away from Nerzhin, and screw it up; an emotional scene which was indeed well conveyed. Our last thought was for the future; we were led to wonder what would happen to all the prisoners, with the final three spotlights focusing on an excellent barbed-wire window, a portrait of "our friend up there" and a dejected prisoner; we were led to realise how lucky we, in today's relatively peaceful world, are. Congratulations to all involved! H.G. (IIIA) 26 BURL'S GULCH A play adapted from a story by Jack Schaefer Performed by 111B2 11 "Call Burl's Gulch a town?" says a man from a neighbouring town, "Nothing ever happens here—Burl's Gulch is dead!" These words by N. Graham sum up what Burl's Gulch, a small community led by Mayor Burl, appears to be. Therefore Mayor Burl (M. Bentley) decides to create a town from Burl's Gulch. The scenery, done by N. Monro, D. Chantry and P. Charlton prim- arily, added to the effect that Burl's Gulch was a remote, dead com- munity. The costume was excellent considering the lack of materials, and the makeup, especially of J. Swiers, P. Clare and R. Barrett, was brilliantly done. During the course of the play, the lights were dimmed and the time changed; this was done very well and it created a very good effect. Mayor Burl decides to clean up the "town" to make it known; but it is not this, but some important events which make Burl's Gulch's new image. Firstly a marriage between Red Ed (John Swiers) and Hulda Munson (V. Matthews) leads up to this. In the second scene an effective thunderstorm is set; lighting and sound effects (by R. Hind and C. Brown) were very effective throughout the above. It is during this thunderstorm that Red Ed and Woolhead Sam (R. Barrett) are trapped in a •andslide. The entire population of Burl's Gulch join together to free them. Red Ed is freed but Sam dies. There is a quick funeral where outstanding acting from R. Pulleyn as Jim Farrango was apparent. N. Graham, an unbeaten fighter, appears again and gets into a scuffle with Big Joe and is defeated—Burl's Gulch is now proclaimed a town. 111B2 dealt with the American accent very well and deserve congratula- tions for their efforts.

CRICKET RETROSPECT It is pleasing to be able to report on another successful season. In many ways, the 1972 season was very similar to that of 1971. The 1st XI and the Under 14 Colts were again unbeaten, the 1st XI this time in club as well as School matches. Also the 2nd XI again only lost once. Unfortunately the weather was very different and it was to the credit of all the teams that so much good cricket was played, when the weather was often far from pleasant. The 1st XI were a strong all-round team, admirably captained by Stephen Coverdale. There was a great deal of competition for the last few places, and some of the 2nd XI were perhaps unlucky not to have a chance to establish themselves in the 1st XI. As it was, one old Colour failed to keep his place. The strength of the batting was in its considerable 27 depth. The consistency of Stephen Coverdale and Neil Kerruish was in- valuable, as was the development of Gary Schmidt as a fine schoolboy hitter. Between them, Coverdale and Kerruish had only three innings in which they failed to score double figures, which meant that the middle order batting was rarely tested in a crisis. Schmidt had a splendid season; he hit the ball very hard and failed only three times in 13 innings, which is proof of his wonderful eye and his application. His aggressive attitude brought a 'breath of fresh air to the game. Three younger players, Ridley Clayburn, Simon Lloyd-Jones and Paul Scott, played some promising innings; indeed Scott's 88 not out in the Old Peterite match was probably the best innings of the season. The bowling had plenty of variety, but rarely were conditions ideal for bowlers. The spearhead of the attack was Peter Wilkinson, who was extremely quick and hostile, though only once did he have a chance to bowl on a fast wicket. His non-selection for the Yorkshire Schools Trial, apparently 'because he was not available for all the county matches, was a surprise and disappointment not only to ourselves 'but also to several of our opponents. His opening partner, Philip Brumfield, bowled well on occasions, 'but was never fully fit because of back trouble. The third seamer position was a problem for much of the term; Graham Hunt eventually clinched it with some steady bowling in difficult circumstances. The slow bowling was largely in the hands of Mark Walmsley and John Lightowler. Walmsley was always steady, and towards the end of term, when he flighted the ball more often, he bowled with greater success. Lightowler, former wicket-keeper and enthusiastic net-bowler, was the bowling find of the year. He spun the ball considerably and as the term progressed, he bowled with more confidence and effect. On the whole, the bowlers were well supported in the field. The ground fielding and especially the throwing were better than the catching, although some good catches were taken, particularly by Kerruish, who won the Fielding Cup. Mention must also be made of Schmidt and Wilkinson, both of whom would have been worthy winners of the Fielding Cup. A young 2nd XI had a very pleasing season. Special praise must be given to Tim Young, who not only captained the team with good sense and enthusiasm but also was top of the batting and bowling averages. His continued keenness and determination, despite losing his 1st XI place, were a fine example to the younger players. In addition to the captain, several 'players were close to selection for the 1st XI. The seam attack of David Chester, Peter Finegan and George Park was very effective, and Albert Hills, Charles Place and Philip Scott played some good innings. The Under 15 Colts had a rather disippointing season. Three of their first six matches were washed out and they were never able to get into consistent form. The batting was the main weakness, indeed only two scores over 30 were made. The bowling was much more effective fo and there were several good performances. For the second year in succession the Under 14 Colts were unbeaten. They were a team of considerable promise, and the whole group, including the reserves, were extremely keen. When in trouble they recovered well, but perhaps they did not always press home the advantage when they were on top. The Senior House Cup was won fairly comfortably by the favourites, Queen's, but probably the outstanding achievement was that of the Manor, 28 di rho reached the final against all expectations. Dronfield won the Junior louse Cup, and the Burton Cup for the Inter-House League Competition ras won by the Grove. For the first time, the Yeomans Cup was awarded for a Single Wicket ompetition. The new competition aroused great interest and produced share of surprises. In the semi-finals Peter Wilkinson beat John Light- wler and Stephen Coverdale 'beat David Chester. In a close final Cover- ale (27) defeated Wilkinson (20). In the summer holidays Coverdale captained the Yorkshire Schools I (Under 19) with distinction, and Walmsley was selected for the county ial.

ST. PETER'S 179 for 7, M.C.C. 177 M.C.C. won the toss and batted on an easy-paced wicket. After an opening stand of 26, four wickets fell for 12 runs, but a good stand between G. R. Langdale (67) and G. B. Johnson (30) retrieved the situation. Late in the innings, the Captain, R. H. Umbers (35 not out), hit some fine shots. The School used seven bowlers and all bowled accurately; each of the four seam bowlers took two wickets. The School lost an early wicket, but S. P. Coverdale (54) was rarely in trouble. When he was out, the score was 93 for 4 and quick runs were needed. These were provided by G. Schmidt (47), who hit with great power, and steered the School to a splendid victory. He was well supported in the later stages by P. R. Wilkinson (21 not out).

The School had a comfortable five-wicket win over Bradford G.S. The Bradford innings was slow, and only their captain, G. D. Fist (36) played with any confidence. The most successful bowlers were P. Wilkinson (3 for 20) and P. W. Brumfield (3 for 26), and S. P. Coverdl was in fine form as wicketkeeper. When the School batted, R. N. Kerruish (40) and S. P. Coverdo (31) had a good partnership, but when they were dismissed, the otti batsmen made hard work of scoring the remaining runs. 32 ST. PETER'S v. DURHAM SCHOOL

The School had a fairly easy six-wicket victory against Durham School. Durham batted first on a good batting pitch, but made a slow start. Three wickets then fell quickly to the opening bowlers. A partial recovery followed with N. A. Sykes (26) hitting some good shots. After his , dismissal, runs came very slowly, though the fifteen year-old G. Walton (27 not out) played sensibly. P. W. Brumfield (4 for 18) took three wickets in an over, and P. R. Wilkinson (2 for 35) bowled without luck. Durham eventually declared at 123 for 9 after nearly three hours batting. The School lost an early wicket, but an extremely capable innings by S. P. Coverdale (64 not out), helped by E. J. M. Walmsley (25) and R. N. Kerruish (24) enabled the School to win by six wickets.

Worksop batted first on an excellent pitch, but their innings was very dreary. Their total of 107 came from 64 overs and only the captain, R. M. Thomas (34) showed any signs of aggression. P. R. Wilkinson (4 for 24), P. W. Brumfield (3 for 20) and E. J. M. Walmsley (2 for 30) all bowled accurately, and they were supported by good fielding. The School's batsmen had little difficulty in getting the necessary runs, but no-one struck the ball with confidence. The best innings came from P. A. Scott (23) and J. C. P. N.

The School's away match against Sedbergh was switched to York, as the Sedbergh ground was waterlogged. Sedbergh won the toss and made a good start. W. J. R. Allen (66) hit some fine boundaries, but when he was dismissed, Sedbergh slumped to 109 for 7. However, all the later batsmen played with determination and they took the score to 186. In the absence of the injured P. R. Wilkinson, the School's bowling lacked penetration, though J. C. P. N. Lightowler took 4 for 27. The School lost an early wicket and found run-scoring difficult against C. D. Weston and A. W. A. Authwaite, two quick opening bowlers. R. N. Kerruish (21) and S. P. Coverdale (40) played some good shots, but their slow run-rate gave the later batsmen little chance of success. Thanks to some splendid hitting by G. Schmidt (48), the School managed to score over 100 runs in the last hour, but at the end they were still 22 runs behind. As usual the Sedbergh fielding was excellent. I 35 ST. PETER'S v.

The School narrowly failed to force a victory in their away mat against Ampleforth College. Having been put into bat the School batted steadily, but oncq again it was not until G. Schmidt batted, that the ball was hit really hard. Schmidt took only 37 minutes in scoring 43 runs. The backbone of the innings was S. P. Coverdale (61), and in his first match in the 1st XI, S. D. Lloyd-Jones (16 not out) showed promise. For Ampleforth, J. Pearce, a fifteen-year-old left-arm spinner, bowled very well, taking 3 for 68. The ground fielding was excellent, but several catches were dropped. Ampleforth lost a wicket in the first over and never seemed likely to reach the target of 182 in 135 minutes. M Cooper (31) hit powerfully and six other batsmen reached double figures, but no one was able to dominate. For the School, J. Lightowler (3 for 55) bowled well, as did P. W. Brumfield (2 for 14). Like Ampleforth, the School dropped a number of catches, but otherwise they fielded well. The ninth Ampleforth wicket fell just after 6.30 p.m., so the last batsman did not have to face a ball, and the School's great effort had narrowly failed, even though they bowled 26 overs in the last hour. 36 ST.

In a low-scoring match, the school had a narrow victory against Leeds G.S. The School were put in to bat and had to struggle for every run. The wicket was not good for batsmen and the background was very dark. Nevertheless the School's batting was poor against some accurate but far from dangerous bowling. P. A. Scott (29) held the early part of the innings together, and later P. R. Wilkinson (21) hit some fine shots including an enormous six out of the ground. For Leeds G.S., all four main bowlers took wickets, D. Gray (3 for 12) and J. Wood (3 for 18) being the most successful. Facing a meagre total of 78, Leeds G.S. made a sound start and it took a brilliant piece of fielding by G. Schmidt to break the opening stand. The School's spin bowlers then took charge with J. Lightowler (2 for 16) making the early breakthrough, whilst E. J. M. Walmsley (3 for 6 in 13 avers) bowled with great accuracy. The game swung back I in favour of Leeds G.S., when their captain, D. Caplan (14) hit three boundaries, but when he was out to a superb catch on the boundary by P. R. Wilkinson, the innings was soon folded. Wilkinson (4 for 14) completed a fine match by taking the last three wickets with some hostile fast bowling. The Leeds batsmen contributed considerably to their downfall, but the School's bowlers were supported by excellent fielding, and S. P. Coverdale, with three catches and one stumping, was in very good form. 37

The School won the toss and batted first on a soft pitch. They were given a splendid start by R. N. Kerruish (32) and P. A. Scott (33), who put on 69 for the first wicket, but at this point, five wickets fell for 2 runs, mostly to some good off-spin bowling by I. Dickenson (5 for 50). A partial recovery followed, but at 110 for 7 the School were in real trouble. At this stage the two young left-handers, R. Clayburn (50 not out) and S. Lloyd-Jones (22 not out) played very well and enabled the School to declare at 170 for 7 leaving Bootham 1 hour and ten minutes plus at least 20 overs in the last hour to get the runs. Bootham made quite a good start and in fact only one batsman failed. However, no-one was able to make a big innings and eventually Bootham settled for a draw with A. Robinson 22 not out. The School's bowlers, hampered by a wet ball, were steady but lacked penetration. E. J. M. Walmsley (3 for 30) was the most successful bowler. 38 ST. PETER'S v.

Kerruish (78) was in excellent form, and other useful scores came from S. P. Coverdale (29), G. Schmidt (18), S. Lloyd-Jones (17) and R. Clayburn (17 not out). The Pocklington fielding was good, but on a fast true pitch the bowlers had a difficult task. The School eventually declared at 184 for 5. On the excellent pitch and with a very fast outfield, Pocklington's target of 185 in 2 hours was hard, but by no means impossible. However, they decided immediately that the target was beyond them. D. Allison (54) played quite well and benefited from some easy slow bowling, as did A. Woodhead (33 not out). Somewhat sadly, the match petered out into a dreary draw.

ST. PETER'S v. THE SAINTS C.C. Played at home on Wednesday 12th July Result: Match drawn The Saints C.C. 230 for 1 dec. (T. Copley 123 not out, A. J. Dalton 86 not out). St. Peter's 163 for 8 (E. J. M. Walmsley 62, S. P. Coverdale 46, C. MacAndrew 3 for 20). The School's bowling took a rare pounding from a fine batting display, but both bowlers and fielders withstood the onslaught with great credit. In reply the School's batting was quite undaunted, and the innings will long be remembered for Garry Schmidt's despatch of Fred Trueman's delivery for six over slip's head. Seldom has such an illustrious bowler been seen to take such umbrage. 39

In reply, the School scored 199 for 6 dec. Sound innings were played by P. A. Scott (38), E. J. M. Walmsley (34) and S. P. Coverdale (33), but it was a typical hard-hitting 58 from G. Schmidt, which brought about an early declaration. The Old Peterites, in their second innings, again batted well and were able to declare at 198 for 6. E. D. W. Fulbrook (71) and G. Watson (38) were the leading run scorers, and for the School, J. C. P. N. Light- owler took 3 for 25. The School were set 197 runs to win in 125 minutes, and in an exciting finish the target was reached off the second ball of the last over. A superb innings of 88 not out by P. A. Scott was the main reason for the success, but S. P. Coverdale (47) and R. N. Kerruish (37) also hit some fine shots.

ROWING SUMMER TERM, 1972 "Thur were no wrecks, nobody drownded—'fact nuffin to laff at at all." Albert Ramsbottom's visit to Blackpool is fair comment on a regatta season without much evident excitement or achievement. No wild Satur- day night returns swigging from freshly won pewter tankards, no pouring the pirate sherry into mammoth trophies. And that, for those who tried so hard, is "nuffin to laff at." In previous seasons our 1st IV might have scored; forced by the new ruling into senior competition, they always rowed creditably but never won a final. John Slater as captain set a fine example; to him goes the cup for maximum contribution to the Club as well as for best personal improvement as an oar. It was a great source of strength to have David Atkinson back as vice captain after a term's absence with injury. Edwin Fry was awarded 1st VIII colours. Again we were unsuccessful as an VIII. The crew lost to a powerful- looking York University (whom they had beaten in the Yorkshire Head) in York Spring regatta, to Bradford G.S. who summarily dismissed us in May at St. Peter's, and to Durham School and St. Leonard's at Tyne regatta. On the latter occasion, the 1st IV became the stern of the boat with the old stern four moving up to the sharp end. Sherris coxed. The original crew also competed as two junior A fours unsuccessfully in York Summer regatta. Alec Stow, who started rowing only this year, deserves credit. It was with this crew that we introduced sculling as an integral part of training; what was lost this term as a result of insufficient tech- , nique to make proper use of the new boats will be to their profit next season. This squad will yield a very fast four when they get the coaching which, as guinea pigs this term, they had the bad luck to miss out on. Martin Tree got valuable sculling experience at Durham and Leeds regattas. The final of Senior House rowing was won by Manor in a good race with School House. 41 A group of novice oarsmen from the lower sixth got through two rounds into the final of Novices at York Summer. They rowed again at Bradford. It was encouraging to see how this group, with compara- tively little coaching, organised their own outings under a rota system to do so well. All credit to Kirby, their captain. Another group for mention is the canoeists, some of whom under Challis filled in the blank spaces in the Commemoration programme with a demonstration of slalom techniques. A half dozen of these canoes are regularly cursed by us at the boathouse, but have an important part to play in the acquisition of watermanship. The group was in training through the winter in lunch hours and Challis has competed in open slaloms. A Colts VIII did battle with Lancaster R.G.S. at St. Peter's in May and lost narrowly. The "A" four of this crew (after unsuccessfully competing at Durham Wear regatta ten days previously) beat Lancaster, Bradford G.S. and Archbishop Holgate's G.S. to win the Colts Fours. The same crew went to Tyne as colts and lost to a combined Slatyford/ Tyne R.C. four by a very narrow margin; the latter came third at Pang- bourne a week later in the National Schools regatta. In York Summer

C arson with Boatman Owen who has j finished the building of the five boats won by Carson's crew. 42 they lost in the semi-final of Junior "B" Fours to winners Nottingham B.C. by only 4 ft. At Leeds they rowed badly, but retrieved their old form at Bradford, adding Durham School colts to their list of vanquished schools and winning the event. The "B" four rowed well but without distinction at St. Peter's and Bradford. Colts colours were awarded to ,„_Tomlinson, Berry, Eddell and Perks. Spencer coxed. Pm 1972 will be remembered as the season when we trained and entered under 15 and under 14-year-old crews (Junior, and Junior/Junior Colts respectively). There were 16 members in the former, 21 in the latter. Both groups produced two fours for competition at St. Peter's and at Bradford; in the latter, we had finalists in both events. The Junior Colts also competed at Tyne, and Mcllroy sculled at St. Peter's, beating his Bradford G.S. rival, and at Leeds where he lost by 2 ft. to the semi- finalist of Novices. Already these boys have acquired through sculling and canoeing a degree of watermanship which must make them formid- k able opposition in the future. At Commemoration two trial eights from both these squads raced over the now customary upstream course from Lendal Bridge. A return was also made this year to Junior House Fours; there were five entries and Queen's stroked by Holden took the cup. In over 400 hours work Mr. Owen, our boatman, has completed the five sculling boats. The craftsmanship is admirable. Only a few weeks back we bought secondhand a German-built lightweight shell four, which gives us an out and out racing machine to take with us to compete. It is unlikely that anyone who isn't a fair sculler will make top crews in future. We are moving back to fours in senior rowing, having regard to standards—not that we shall cease to compete as an VIII. We have on order a restricted four for late in the year—we hope to keep it so although the money earmarked for it has already been diverted to the shell four mentioned. To this end we advertised at Commemoration for a "supporters' club" of parents and old boys, who might like to play an active part in raising money. We shall be following this up in the autumn; already it has met with enthusiasm.

SHOOTING The future of .303 shooting for schools is in some doubt—the entry for the Ashburton was the lowest since the 1930s—and this term we have not been immune from the difficulties with which it is generally beset. Indeed, we may well have met them more than most schools. We have had far less opportunity to practise because of difficulty in getting range bookings. Rifle issue to C.C.F. has been drastically cut and it was only through the great enthusiasm and willingness to take trouble of a number of people both in the C.C.F. and at Yorkshire District that we obtained rifles fit to take to Bisley. Ammunition threatened to be a further diffi- culty and indeed would have been if we could have had range bookings during which to fire it. The severe dimensions of the new 200 yard target have proved a discouragement—apparently more to us than to some other schools. The four main events of the term worked out thus: Yorkshire District C.C.F. Skill-at-Arms Meeting: Rifle Team won; Aggregate won; Snap second; Falling Plates and Individual Championship unplaced. Yorkshire Rifle Association Spring Meeting: Cadet Cup second; Ser- vices Shield unplaced. P.A.O. Bell won the service rifle section of the Goodrick Cup. County of Lancaster Rifle Association Schools Meeting: C.L.R.A. Cup second; Schools Quartet won; Fletcher Cup third; Reserve P ail" second. 44 National Rifle Association Meeting, Bisley: results generally were poor. Two members of last year's VIII were off form and nearly everyone had poor shots at one time or another, some in the Ashburton itself. In all, it was our poorest Bisley for some years, the only bright spots being P. A. 0. Bell's 4th in the Snap (170 entries) and M. W. Poynor's 16th in the Iveagh (over 1,400 entries) while D. F. Richardson won a Schools' Hundred badge and S. K. Pattie was successful in winning a prize for pistol shooting. Detailed results were: Position Entries Ashburton 48 71 Cadet Pair 40 64 Public Schools Snap 12 20 Marling 8 21 Colours were re-awarded or awarded to: P. A. 0. Bell (Capt.), T. N. E. Bowen, M. W. A. Poynor, I. W. Balls, D. F. Richardson, H. M. odwin, J. E. Prowde, M. J. W. Dimelow. The House match was won by Temple, but scores generally were low nd for the second time some Houses were unable to find a full team. L.C.LeT.

TENNIS CLUB 1972 The 1972 season was one of the most successful that the Tennis Club has ever had. In nine matches the 1st VI, a very experienced side, was defeated only once and finished second in the Yorkshire Schools' Tennis League. Whilst we were of course disappointed not to have been able to challenge Wakefield for the title, this was nevertheless a very gratifying final position. This was the third year that John Mitchell, the captain, and Andrew Penty had been in the team and at 1st Pair they had a fairly consistent season, winning about 80 per cent of their matches though dropping a few sets that should have been won. The best individual play of the side as a whole came from Andrew Penty. The 2nd Pair, both regulars last season, had a worrying start but once it had been pointed out to Derek Dempsey that he was playing tennis and not squash he settled down to hit some good shots. He and his partner, Chris Beall, a rather more solid if occasionally less inspired performer. achieved some good and important results, including a life-saving win against Worksop's 1st Pair following below-par performances by the rest of the side. Of those who played in the 3rd Pair, Richard Tasker produced some sound tennis and, if he controls his temperament he should do very well next season. He was variously supported by Chris Atkinson, a devastating player on his day, and the deceptively casual John Cresswell who, if he tightens up his concentration and remains free of the back injury that tended to rob some of his shots of power, should also be a success next year. The beginning of the season was marred by appalling conditions. High winds and rain prevented any solid practice and the first few matches were played in depressing weather and it was only at the end of the 45 season that the conditions finally improved. We had draws with Worksop and Roundhay and defeated Archbishop Holgate's, Ampleforth, Ashville, Pocklington, Scarborough and Bootham, a school that in each of the two previous seasons had beaten us 9-0. The last inter-school match was at Hymer's College, Hull, and a combination of strange courts, the after- effects of several tough fixtures and, to be honest, some rather scrappy play brought us defeat by 5-4; but we could have won and it was agreed that had we had the advantage of playing at home the result might well have been reversed. On the Saturday of Commemoration, the Old Peterites were defeated in sizzling heat. Our thanks to those who played in this fixture, which can be one of the most enjoyable of the season; but it is to be hoped that rather more Old Peterites will offer their services next year. The 2nd VI also had a good season. Captained by Chris Atkinson when he was not in the 1st VI and otherwise by David Grice, they won three out of their four matches. Andrew Maycock played regularly for the 1st Pair and if all his strokes had been as strong and reliable as his forehand he would have made the 1st VI. At 2nd Pair, Ian Jamieson and Ian Stephenson both began to play some firm and impressive shots and have improved tremendously. They should give good service to the Club next year. David Grice, John Lucas and Peter Rivers played variously for the 3rd Pair and won far more times than they lost. James Brockbank, on the run from the Boat Club, was blooded this season, and if he takes up full-time tennis will be one of the mainstays of the Club in years to come. It is to be hoped that those Junior members of the School who have shown an interest in Tennis this term will not allow this interest to be smothered by other demands made on their time. However, the opportu- nities to play Tennis at St. Peter's are not as frequent as they might be since the number of courts is painfully small, particularly when one considers the number of boys who have indicated a desire 'to play full- time. Still perhaps one of the poorer relations of the School sporting world, in everything, that is, except skill, enthusiasm and success, tennis may once again suffer because of a clash with other interests since now there is a possibility of the Club being evicted from the premises where it has been so happy for so long. However, a much greater body blow than the loss of the present courts is the loss of Mr. Clark, who will not be nearly so easy to replace as a stretch of concrete. For all the years that he has been with the Club, Mr. Clark's good-humoured guiding hand has been a very great factor in the Club's success and we thank him sincerely for all that he has done for tennis and tennis players at the School and wish him and his family every happiness in the future. Thanks also to our Secretary, John Cresswell, for his work. These notes would not be complete without some mention of the Cricket Match fought out on the last Friday of term between a Tennis Club XI and an Invitation XI, kindly produced by Tim Young. The opposition batted first and made, they like to deceive themselves, 137. Of the nine members of our side who bowled, Peter Rivers emerged with the best figures, 3 overs, 1 maiden, 5 wickets 'for two runs, a haul which included several 2nd XI scalps and a stupendous burst of four wickets in four balls. Our batting showed a certain brittleness in the middle order after the dismissal of our guest star K. S. Clark Esq., who made top score. Even a last-wicket stand between Mike Drucquer, batting with all the 46 subtlety of a threshing machine, and Pete Rivers failed to level the scores and the Club XI eventually succumbed for something over a 100. How- ever, we were well content with our moral victory and were by no means convinced by the result proclaimed in the score book, which is no reflec- tion on the efficiency of Richard Long, whom we thank for acting as scorer. Thanks also to Albert Hills for daring to umpire and to all who played. Finally, on behalf of all those who are leaving, may I wish the Club great future. J.A.M.

FENCING InIn the Easter holidays, the School took part in the Public Schools' Fencing Championships, held annually in London. We started well when three of our sabreurs got through to the second round. Although David Taylor was knocked out in this round, John Woodcock and Simon Atkinson got to the semi-finals, the latter going out on indicators. On the following day, Martin Black excelled himself to reach the quarter final of the Junior Foil event and John Woodcock, after scraping through the second round of the Senior Foil, went from strength to strength and was eventually placed sixth in the Final. _ Although we achieved some excellent results in the foil and sabre events, our epee was disappointing. Richard Haiell, Andrew Corser and Paul Spencer got to the second round, but no one got any further. At the beginning of the Summer term, we sent up four fencers to compete in the Yorkshire Schoolboys epee and sabre championships. Meeting with no strong opposition, Kevin Mendham won both the Junior sabre and epee, whilst Simon Atkinson secured the Senior sabre title. Undoubtedly the most interesting and rewarding event of the Summer term was the much publicised match against Oxford and Cambridge. Both Universities sent their strongest teams to York for a weekend's fencing. On the Saturday, the School fenced a team of the combined Univer- sities. Rather surprisingly, this proved no easy victory for the talented Universities' side. We lost the foil 5-3; we were narrowly beaten in the epee by 5 bouts to 4, and the sabre was a cliff-hanger, the match being lost on the last hit! The performance of our side was outstanding as the opposition held within their ranks an International, an Under Twenties champion and a fencer who had reached the finals of all three weapons at the Public Schools. On the Sunday, certain members of the School represented the Y.F.A. against the Universities in the Guildhall. This occasion was graced by the presence of the Lord Mayor and his Lady. The match was lost by 7 bouts to 5. Both Universities have invited the School back for matches in the Christmas term. 47 At the end of the term, Martin Black, Richard Hazell and Simon Atkinson represented York at fencing in the annual York Youth Match against Huddersfield. York were successful, winning the foil 5-4, and the sabre 7-2, but losing the epee 6-3. Finally, in the middle of the term, our coach received a letter from the first Peterite fencer, who is 81 and still fencing, and wishes to come to York. It is hoped that there will be a battle between Mr. Power and Rev. Worsop-Hyde at Commemoration. Of course, I wish to thank Mr. Power for all his expert advice and unbridled enthusiasm to all School fencers and to congratulate him on the selection of his son, Anthony, to represent Britain in the Olympics. Teams Foil: S. A. Atkinson, M. P. Black, R. J. Haze11, A. Tait, J. Woodcock. Epee: R. J. Hazel!, P. Spencer, M. Fox, M. P. Black, K. Mendham. Sabre: S. A. Atkinson, J. Woodcock, D. H. Taylor, K. Mendham. Titles won in the year The Yorkshire Junior Foil, the Yorkshire Senior epee, the Yorkshire Schoolboys' Junior Sabre and epee., and the Yorkshire Schoolboys' Senior Sabre. S.A.A.

HOUSE NOTES DRONFIELD This has been a more successful term for the house as regards sport, with the last two weeks of term seeing the Junior Cricket Cup return to the house after a three-year absence, and the Tennis Cup being won I for the first time. The Junior cricket team, under the captaincy of Jonathan Clark, beat School House in the semi-final by ten wickets, and then beat the Rise by four wickets in the final. Jonathan Clark and Richard Allen played a prominent part in these victories and were rewarded with their Junior House colours. The Senior cricket team was not so successful, however, being knocked out in the first round of the competition by the Manor, despite the house team containing three members of the School 1st XI. We thank Peter Wilkinson, the captain, for organising the two teams. The Tennis team, under the captaincy of Chris Beall, did very well to beat the favourites, Grove, in the final, 4-1, after beating School House and the Rise in the preceding rounds. We thank Chris Beall for coaching the team. He was awarded his Senior House colours as recog- nition of all he has done for the house. The house boaters made a great effort in the Senior Rowing competi- tion but were narrowly beaten by School House, the favourites, in the semi-final, after leading for much of the race. The Junior four were beaten in the first round by a strong School House crew. We thank Simon Clark for the time he spent in training the two crews. The Summer term is the time of the house Music competitions. As usual the house did not excel in the Singing competition, being placed equal fourth with the Rise, with an English version of "Chevalier de la Table Ronde." The house instrumentalists played a piece of modern music composed by Chris Hazell. Many thought it was the best of the pieces of music played, but they were disqualified for using electrical 49 instruments. However, the group were awarded the Dawood plate for their efforts. Mrs. Irving went into hospital about mid-term for an operation, but we are pleased to report that she is now at home, and recovering quickly. Mr. Du Croz is leaving the house to get married, after a two-year spell as assistant housemaster. We wish him every happiness in his married life. We say goodbye to 11 leavers this term and thank them all for all they have done for the house. Chris Beall stays on to take the Oxbridge Entrance exams, and takes over the job of Head of House. G.E.P.

THE GROVE Returning at the beginning of the Summer term, the seniors were welcomed by the new cubicle arrangement which had been erected in a former dormitory to provide them with separate study-bedrooms. No doubt inspired by this promise for the future, the whole house showed surprising spirit in the various sports competitions, although we failed to add to the silver on the shelf in any great way. R. C. Spence did, however, lead an enthusiastic House League side to victory in the Burton Cup, and N. Kerruish won the Fielding Cup, although G. Schmidt of the Grove was a close contender. The main achievement, however, was the number of prizes awarded to members of the Grove at Commemora- tion. Winners were N. Bowen, D. Dempsey, S. Parker, P. Strachan, C. Duckling and J. Wolstencroft. There was no prize for Simon Robinson. but he received due recognition for his great organisational abilities from the Head Master. In the House P. Strachan won Mr. Nixon's new prize for creative writing. Those of us leaving wish every success to Neil Kerruish and his monitors who take over the running of the house next year, and we hope that they will make an even better job of it than we did. C.J.B.

THE MANOR It has been a term of varied fortunes for the Manor. Our only sport- I ing success came at the end of term when the Senior House Rowing Four, captained by David Atkinson and consisting also of John Croft, Mike Ray and David Eddell, beat a strong School House Four in an exciting race. Malcolm Bruce is to be thanked for the help he gave in ,t; training and will be certain of a place next season when the performance will surely be repeated. In the cricket, a motley but enthusiastic team, admirably captained by John Lightowler, beat Grove and Dronfield, confounding cynics and tipsters. In the final the team was pitted against a talented and formid- able Queen's side and although they lost, there were times when this match too could have gone either way. Top scorers were Ridley Clay- burn and John Lightowler, who are both to be congratulated on the award of their 1st XI colours. 50 The House League competition was less in the limelight, but generated just as much enthusiasm. Led by Paul Townsend, the team came third and David Parker was top scorer, averaging over 20 runs. A wide age- group was involved and we hope that next season the competition will be as enjoyable as it was this summer. Our efforts in the Tennis competition were confounded by the compli- cated system of doubles and singles, and by end of term commitments. The team, captained by Chris Atkinson, beat Queen's easily, although it took about four weeks to do it. Eventually, the team went down to Grove. Chris Atkinson and Richard Tasker both received 1st VI colours this season. As last year, a course in life-saving was conducted by the Manor. Richard Tasker and Nigel Pritchard gained Instructors awards and seven boys, Fenwick, Barrett, Bruce-Jones, Matthews, Clare, Pritchard G. F. and Can obtained their bronze medallions. Towards the end of term a cheque was presented to Mr. Bailey of the Guide Dogs Association. This money-raising project was conceived and organised by Mrs. Shuttleworth, who worked very hard to raise the £290, which will train an alsatian called Saxon. Mention must also go to a number of seniors, Mike Ray, Richard Harland, Andrew Beadnall and Andrew Thornton, who helped in the running of a raffle, which collected the last £50. John Craven is to be congratulated on winning the Fernie Cup for the second year running and for gaining a place at Dartmouth Naval College. Halfway through the term Andrew Harben left us, leaving with us the Harry Mason Shield, the result of his efforts in organising the St. Peter's/Ampleforth football match. We wish him the very best for the future. In the House Singing, the Manor came last and singers will perhaps remember next year that performing on stage is a totally different matter from gathering around the house piano for a light-hearted bellow. How- ever, in the instrumental section the house came second. In the scholarship exam for St. Peter's, Christopher Harland won the top boarding scholarship. Mike Ray has been appointed the new Head of House. All of us leaving give him and the rest of the house our best wishes for next year. M.H.D.

All the Monitors are leaving, and we thank them, our other leavers nd especially Mike Drucquer, the Head of House, for all they have one for the house, and wish them well in their future careers. G.M.S.

1 QUEEN'S The term began with the appointment of M. L. Naylor as a House Monitor and with the arrival of R. J. Holden from Grove. The first major team event of the term was the much delayed House Music competition in which a very young Queen's team, admirably guided 51 by J. J. Beadle, came equal second in the vocal section and third in the instrumental competition. With representation in all teams, and a strong nucleus from the 2nd XI, hope was high for success in the Senior House Competition. After a bye in the first round and an easy success over an enthusiastic but inexperienced School House in the second, the final was played against Manor, who only succumbed after a dour struggle. A feature of the Final was the magnificent sustained bowling of D. R. Chester, who was rewarded for this and other efforts for the House by the award of his Junior House Colours. The Junior team, splendidly captained by K. J. P. Mendham, won a nail-biting match with Temple in the first round, but was overpowered by a strong Rise side in the semi-final. Their enthusiasm and vigour portend future success from this generation. The Tennis team, under A. J. Maycock, were unfortunate in being drawn against the strong Manor team in the first round but only went down by a very close margin. Our oarsmen provided us with a surprise by winning the Junior Fours Cup in the centenary year of the cup. The hard work of G. A. Barnett, J. N. C. Turner, J. P. H. Harrison and R. J. Holden (stroke), coached by S. K. Grant, gained full reward in a sport in which Queen's had previously lagged. The successes in the rowing and the cricket, combined with the triumphs earlier in the year, enabled the Oxford Cup to be won for the third year in succession. Despite the obvious preoccupation, during such a short term, with exams, individual enterprise was not altogether stifled. P. R. Godwin, R. A. Scott, M. L. Naylor and A. J. Maycock all excelled in the Radio 5 concert towards the end of the term. K. A. Burns again swam for Great Britain but unfortunately, despite recording a personal best time in the A.S.A. Championships, did not reach Munich. S. P. Coverdale surprised everyone in winning the Yeomans Cup—the single wicket cricket competi- tion. R. T. S. Young took a leading role in a short play produced by the Headmaster. R. A. Scott put in a tremendous amount of hard work as editor of Royal Purple, but the publication of this excellent magazine was delayed due to "printing difficulties." It is hoped that this annual magazine will be published early in the Christmas term. Members of Queen's figured very prominently in the list of prize- winners—nearly a third came from Queen's, thereby refuting claims that the House is all brawn but no brains; particular mention must be made of R. D. Long, who claimed six prizes, a feat unequalled for at least a decade. The end of the summer term sadly but inevitably signals the depart. ure of many people from the House. R. T. S. Young and A. G. Sherriff, two outstanding School Monitors, together with all the other leavers deserve our thanks for past services rendered and our best wishes for the future. One year ends to be inevitably followed by another. For Queen's this means another year in which the very high standards which have been set in the past must be maintained, both in competitions with other 52 ;houses, but, ultimately more important, within the daily life of the corn- munity. There are difficulties to be faced—for example the space limita- tions—but this past year has proved beyond doubt the happy, united house remains a pleasurable unit in which to belong. S.P.C.

THE RISE Although the house has not gained any of the team cups this season there has been a considerable effort in the major sports. In the cricket the senior house team was knocked out in the first round. Although the team lost, E. J. M. Walrusley and P. D. Finegan are to be congratulated for their superb batting performances in this match against Grove. However, in the Junior House matches, the Rise played extremely well and reached the final. In the first round against the Manor, the house had a convincing win and managed to bowl Manor out for 56. In this match R. E. Hudson scored 45 and J. S. M. Thomas took five wickets for five runs. The second round match was tougher but the team still emerged victorious. However, in the final we lost to a strong Dronfield side. D. N. Potter is to be congratulated on his expert captaincy of the Junior House team. The house, as well as doing well in the cricket, had some success in the inter-house tennis. In the first round we beat Temple fairly convinc- ingly. However, in the second round against Dronfield we were beaten by four matches to two. Congratulations must go to A. D. Penty's superb captaincy of the House tennis team as well as his contribution to the School tennis team. The boating this season has been promising although not profitable. The house gained a bye in both the junior and senior boating competi- tions. Even so, the Junior House team lost to Queen's in the semi-final by three lengths. In general the house this term has made a real effort to win a cup. This can be seen in the way the not so skilful cricket members of the house battled their way to second place in the House Leagues. Although the house has not enjoyed much success, the growing skill of many games players in the lower part of the house is a promising sign for future years. M. Poynor did very well to win the Green Howards individual .303 Shooting Cup. On the whole the house has progressed steadily throughout the term and next term it should be able to gain some honours. J.D.P.

SCHOOL HOUSE The summer term is traditionally an active one and this one was by Ino means an exception despite some of the most atrocious weather we have had for a long time. We channelled our energies into such activities as voluntary swimming and rowing practices, which surely must play a major part in contributing to the success we have in those sports. For 53 the unfortunate few with G.C.E. exams this term, activities had to become more and more academic until they were over, and then the house came alive with plans to complete the Lyke Wake Walk, to scull, canoe and row on the river, and to provide stewards for the Yorkshire Show, all of which came to fruition. Our members of the school swimming team continued to be enthusi- astic and the highlight of the term was when Peter Nash helped the two relay teams to come back from London with the Bath and Otter Cups. Ian Walton is to be congratulated on the award of his swimming colours. Our junior and senior fours, consisting of McIlroy, Hudson, Ferguson, Ramsden, Bentley (cox) and Slater, Stow, Fry, Challis, Sherris (cox) res- pectively showed that their enthusiasm and training had paid off by reaching the final in both house matches. They both lost narrowly to Queen's and Manor respectively in two exciting races. In recognition of his devoted services to the boat club and of the fact that he has worked extremely hard to improve his rowing, John Slater was awarded the cup for the most improved rower. Under the captaincy of Robert Goodwill, Slater, Mcllroy and Little- field secured second place for School House in the shooting house match. Our tennis team was knocked out in the first round by the winning team, Dronfield, who had several strong players. In the cricket, both Junior and Senior teams got through to the second rounds, losing to the eventual winners, Dronfield and Queen's. In the senior team, Paul Scott was an excellent captain of a young side, Albert Hills got 50 runs and four wickets against Temple, and Sherratt made a hat-trick. Simon Barton ably captained the junior team, which looks promising for the future. John Woodcock was once more outstanding by winning the House Fencing Cup. Peter Rivers won the Instrumental Music prize, and several members of the house entered the keyboard section, Peter Nash putting on a good performance on the organ. We hope all our leavers get successful exam results and we wish them the very best for the future. We were sorry to lose our housemaster for part of the term, as Mr. Craine was hampered with back trouble. Our thanks go to Mr. Hamilton for holding the fort and we look forward to having Mr. Craine back in full working order next term. D.W.G.

TEMPLE The Summer term is traditionally a time of sunshine and examina- tions but, unfortunately, this year only the latter materialised. Never- theless, despite the desperate shortage of fine weather and the crescendo of academic work, the house had an active term and distinguished itself in a number of competitions. We met, however, with little tangible success in either the Senior or the Junior cricket. The Senior team led by C. R. Place came within sight of defeating School House and might perhaps have won had they been as vociferous in their appeals as in their subsequent lamentations. 54 The match against Queen's in the first round of the Junior Competition produced an extremely tense finish but the wrong result. After his splen- did personal efforts, J. C. Rounthwaite, the captain of the junior team, could feel justly disappointed in not emerging victorious, especially since only some lucky snicks through the slips by the opposition's tail-enders and a vital dropped catch eventually decided the issue, the final margin between the sides being two wickets. However, several members of the house did play regularly for School cricket teams; Place and A. J. George I were awarded their 2nd XI colours, Rounthwaite captained the Under 15 Colts and was awarded his colours, and R. F. Pulleyn also played for the Colts. After reaching the final last year, we were rather less successful in this year's Tennis Competition, and were knocked out in the first round, I. A. Mitchell, though captain of the 1st VI, being unable to inspire the house team into defeating The Rise. The quantity of silverware on the shelves of Study 3 may be rather small but we can rest assured that at least it will never be surrendered without a tremendous battle, for in both shooting and fencing Temple has recently been quite outstanding. The house has in its ranks many very keen and eagle-eyed marksmen. Their enthusiasm and skill were rewarded by a convincing victory in the Inter-House Shooting Competition. Much of the credit for this must go to the House Captain, I. W. Balls, and he was well supported by S. M. Cooper, H. M. Godwin and J. E. Prowde. These four, together with M. J. W. Dimelow and C. J. Hirst, were in the School team at Bisley. Two of our fencers, S. A. Atkinson and R. J. Haze11, did much during the term to justify Sergeant-Major Power's abundant faith in them; Hazell became the Yorkshire Senior Epee Champion and Atkinson won the Yorkshire Schoolboys Sabre title. These two formed the backbone of the School Team but unfortunately their external triumphs were not matched by a win in the Inter-House Competition in which Temple came second. Once again we were successful in the House Music Competition. ' Although the Baird Cup for singing had to be surrendered to a School House choir composed of something less than the expected number of singers, we came first in the instrumental section. Rehearsed and led by S. A. A. Taylor, a most competent cellist, the Temple ensemble of A. J. Sargent, G. D. Gumbrell, J. M. Newdick and C. J. Hirst gave a very ■ professional rendering of variations on "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." t As always, many members of the house won academic prizes and whilst none could match R. Sharpe's magnificent haul of no less than five, J. A. Mitchell, N. A. Cameron, I. P. Heavens, D. C. Mountain, C. Ringrose and P. D. Widdicombe were also prizewinners. Finally, we thank those who are leaving for all that they have done r the house and wish them well in the future. J.A.M.

55 VISITS TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS Thursday, May 25. The ten members of Lower VI Politics Set and Mr. Rigby caught the 8 o'clock to King's Cross, for a visit to the House of Commons. It is not easy to get eleven tickets for the Public Gallery on the same afternoon, and we are very grateful to Sir Robin Turton, Member for Thirsk and Malton, who arranged it. As everyone knows, the important part of an M.P.'s life—working as a plumber's mate, pleading a case, etc.—must be got over before lunch, leaving the afternoon free for his hobby as a legislator. We therefore had some time to spare; for some it was an opportunity to tog themselves out in new gear, while others went along for the laughs. As for the Parliamentary Business, we had amazing luck. The Prime Minister was answering Questions—no rigging! Willie Whitelaw was reporting on Northern Ireland, and Michael Heseltine on Concorde. Everyone important was present to hear the reports except the Foreign Sec., who was abroad; and the House was alive, electric. Perhaps it was not typical, but it was great to be there. We saw everyone who had recently been in the news, mostly because of Northern Ireland: Harold Wilson, and Enoch, and Bernadette. Ian Paisley spoke, surprisingly level-headed—what a man, like him or not! Returning to York, we seemed to have chosen British Rail's grubbiest and most crowded train; but it had been a very good day. J.P.R.

TO RUSSIA On Thursday July 20th after more than a year's planning, the Russian party finally gathered at Victoria Station to begin the first leg of the trip. The flight out was in a Russian TU 104, admittedly rather drab but it seemed to work all right. The customs at Kiev airport, our first port of call, were quite casual, but here we got our first taste of Russian bureaucracy as we were asked for our numerous pieces of paper every five yards. In Kiev itself we got our first experience too of the Russian black market as we strolled down the Kreshchatik, the main street, on the first night. In fact, all through the trip we found that we were constantly approached by groups of teenagers who wanted to exchange foreign currency for several times the official rate or to buy clothes, magazines, biros, records, and, incredibly enough, chewing gum. Everywhere impressions of a very different way of life flooded in on us. Basic essentials seemed to be very cheap, but other items were expensive and often virtually unobtainable. Furthermore, the shop assistants, due to a lack of financial incentive, were invariably unhelpful and sometimes rude, and they operate a cumbersome chit system which doubles the time for buying anything. Another thing which struck us was that there is little for the Russians to do in the evenings. There are of course theatres, cinemas, and restaurants, but there are no snack-bars 56 or pubs. The only way to buy a drink is either to use a machine, to buy some kvass, a rather revolting brew made from bread, from one of the tanks which are pulled round the streets at night, or to go to a foreign currency bar. As a result, the streets are filled until late with Russians who wander around aimlessly. As to their national character, the two most noticeable features were that they rarely smile unless they see something funny and that they never apologised if they accidently bumped into someone in the street. However, on the whole they were extremely friendly and we were often approached by Russians who were merely curious about our country and way of life. In Kiev, we went on several excursions by bus. It proved to be a lovely town with masses of greenery lining the river for several miles. We visited the Pechersky Monastery whose catacombs contained a number of perfectly preserved monks whose 1 1 th Century hands stuck I ghoulishly out of their vestments. St. Sophia's Cathedral also turned out to be very beautiful with its ancient frescoes and wedding-cake like belltower. A short flight took us on to Moscow where we spent the first morning wandering round the Kremlin. The Bolshoi Theatre was unfortunately closed for repairs, but we did manage to see the Exhibition of the Achievements of the National Economy, a Pioneer Palace, a circus, Lenin's tomb, the Tretyakov and Pushkin Art Galleries as well as Red Square at night. Leningrad was the final stop on our tour, which we reached by the "Red Arrow" night sleeper, which was well up to Western standards apart from the fact that the buffet ran out of beer before we set off. The outskirts of the city were very much like those of Moscow or Kiev; large blocks of flats with little variation in height or design, but the centre was spectacular with a plethora of 'beautiful buildings. The effect is rather overwhelming as each 'building, however lovely on its own, becomes merged into the general mass of beauty. The same is true for the Hermitage, the gigantic arts museum, of which the Winter Palace forms only a part. The 24 million exhibits tend to be remembered just as a blur. Here in Leningrad we saw both the good and bad sides of the Russian's treatment of their ancient heritage. At the Peter and Paul's Fortress, one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the Union looked dilapidated through the paint flaking off the outside walls. However, at Pushkino, the former "Tsar's Village", we witnessed the results of the reconstruction of the Summer Palace from the burnt-out shell to which it was reduced by the Germans during the war. Another Summer Palace was situated out of the town at Petrodvorets where there is the beautiful Catherine's Palace and over 100 fountains, two of which are liable to spray unsuspecting victims as they pass over innocent-looking stones. We returned to the city 'by hydrofoil, a treat elicited from the authorities only after several hours hard bargaining by Mr. Pullin and our Russian guide. Our last day there was Navy Day and we were lucky enough to be able to see and even photograph some Soviet ships. Finally on Monday morning we all got up bright and early, but to no avail as we were speedily whisked through customs. Another few hours and we were back in England where there was nobody at all in the customs; ost as if they did not care. However, we all arrived back home fe and sound with nobody left along the way. 57 Our thanks of course must go to Mr. Pullin whose untiring efforts made this all possible. The trip formed a valuable experience for everybody, an experience which would never have taken place without his guidance and support. C.J.A.

SELECTIONS FOR 1972 SIR LUMLEY DODSWORTH ESSAY PRIZE THE ARTIST AS CREATOR For the purposes of discussion, some definitions are essential. There- fore, let art be considered to fall into three groups, visual art, literature and music. Since it is impossible to consider the whole of these three subjects in toto, one must consider what makes a piece of work a work of art. In both music and static art, the devotees of a particular genre will consider it to be "art." Thus, though one person may find Jackson Pollock's work quite valueless, those who see the physical act of painting as important will find value in such abstract expressionism. Similarly in music, even Mahler has his devotees. In literature however, no one, however intelligent, would think of calling the detective thriller, the women's romance or contemporary pornography art. A limit must there- fore be set—and for convenience's sake, let it be that everything accepted as "literature" is art. There have been times in the past, however, when art was only that which was undertaken purely for the sake of art. In those days the artist —and this applies most strongly to writers—had an overwhelming obses- sion wih his role as artist. The result is often a highly polished surface, frequently concealing a somewhat hollow subject matter. A recent example of this is Ezra Pound, who, after a number of years of almost cult popularity, has at last been seen to have written—I think, particularly, of the "Cantos"—something with a highly sophisticated, not to say obscure, surface and sadly little content. Stephen Dedalus, created in 1906, and delivered in 1916, though born with Joyce in 1882, lived in a period when "art" was a term fraught with contemporary implications—one thinks particularly of Oscar Wilde's attitudes. One might expect from him, therefore, a somewhat limited definition—even limiting. This statement he made may be treated as such a limited definition, i.e., to constitute art, a piece of work must be impregnated with some quintessential spirit of the author, but left free from his more conscious personality. The prepositions and adjectives Dedalus uses are distinctly those of one tarred with the brush of artistic one-up-manship, for though they sound profound, sonorous, even anagogic as though uttered by the Creator himself, they are, in literal terms, little more than meaningless. For one thing, physical prepositions convey nothing when one is dealing with something as spiritual as art. "Behind" any work of art there is always the creative mind. "Above" is indefensible, since no artist exceeds his art in excellence; in fact, frequently the opposite is true, and the masterpiece is something far greater than the artist's original conception. 58 Thus, the "Odyssey" and "Iliad" far transcend the gleemen who com- posed and recited them. "Beyond" is a term which may be understood either as "behind" or "above," both of which are used in their own right. "Beyond" is therefore—in literal terms—quite superfluous. "Within," however, is more complex as an idea. An artist is always within his work, inasmuch as his style and his thought are inescapable. This is true of all branches of art. The style of any great painter or musician or writer is unmistakable, and, though more elusive, it can be seen in even classical sculpture. To whatever degree an artist is "within" his work, he is far from "invisible," unless the perceiver is extremely dull. In considering the artist in literature, one cannot but see that the degree of withinness is very flexible. Some writers bring their own per-

, sonality into their art. This may be a presence prevailing through all I his works or in only a percentage. But nonetheless, when reading Catullus or T. S. Eliot or Garcia Lorca, one is always conscious. He may be desperately revealing himself to his reader as Propertius in his early elegies, or Fr. Rolfe, in the novel "Hadrian VII." He may analyse himself as Keats does in "To a Nightingale" or Wordsworth in such great works as "Intimations of Immortality," "Tintern Abbey" and "The Prelude." Alternatively, he may simply project his own mind, without feeling or comment, as Joyce does so often in "Portrait of the Artist" or "Ulysses" Clearly, these are not all parallel examples. After reading their works, in the case of T. S. Eliot and James Joyce one knows the mind. In the case of Catullus, Propertius or Rolfe, one knows the man, while Words- worth and Keats transmit something peculiar to a Romantic period, their "reflections." Lorca transmits something less tangible, but no less visible —his vision. While these writers totally impregnate their work with their person- ality, a very different but equally strong method of entry "within" a work is by comment, directly as the author, to explain a personal observation or opinion. George Eliot does this in a delightful and endearing way, so that the reader enters into a kind of communion, or at any rate, transference of opinion, with the author, at a point some distance removed from the novel itself. Other writers of less penetrating insight who do this frequently seem to violate the ethics of their trade, or alter- natively to work and see at a lower level. In this group, let us put the eighteenth century novelists, Smollett and Fielding. The latter goes so far as to simply step aside from the novel for a conversation with the reader at the opening of each section. Thackeray and Scott likewise observe this reserved detachment—and Scott actually works at so remote a level and is so little concerned to convince his reader in the immediacy of the novel that he can, quite successfully, stand back and describe how times have altered a house as in "Waverley." The women novelists, Austen, Gaskell, Charlotte and Anne Bronte, have a similar practice, making social comment. Jane Austen's comments on fashion, for instance, and Mrs. Gaskell's comments on how to eat peas or how much a woman in such-and-such a position ought properly to spend on a robe, tend to bring the reader into the world of the novel—at any rate, the contem- porary reader, to whom these things were daily conversation. For the modern reader, they help to carry him back into that remote contem- porary world. Perhaps Trollope is to be included with these women novelists; he so often intrudes his comments, and although he does not state it, he clearly feels Mrs. Proudie to be an interfering and scheming harridan. 59 It is possible for a writer to achieve communion with his reader at a higher level than this, so that it is the spirit carried with the personality, and not merely the fripperer; while retaining moderation, and avoiding the excesses of those writers first considered. Among those' who do this—and here, though at the risk of becoming stultifying, another list seems called for—one finds Chaucer, Hardy, Ovid, Horace, Aristophanes, Milton, Malory, Dickens. In the case of these writers, one achieves a spiritual understanding at some remove from the book. In Chaucer's case it is the way he implies comments—in a masterful way— on his tellers which does it. With Hardy, it is an understanding of his heartfelt ideas as they emerge through the novels, which, although not really convincing, do on the whole exist without the writer's direct intention— certainly this can be said for the major novels with the exceptions of "Jude the Obscure" and "The Woodlanders". Ovid and Horace, and to lesser extent Aristophanes, achieve their effect by means of the poetic "persona"—thus, though it seems to be the writer speaking directly to the reader, a closer inspection reveals that each attitude is an assumed role; and as one delves deeper into their poetry, one begins to appreciate how convolved poet and "persona" are. Though all these writers in one way or another fulfil Dedalus's precepts of "within, behind, beyond or above", none are in any way "invisible, refined, out of existence". Some writers are—and here the list is shorter: Virginia Woolf, whose perfect control of style and total understanding of man is so clearly visible in "To the Lighthouse" or The Waves", yet who only enters her works in an incorporeal, ethereal way— in many ways like Mrs. Ramsay's intuitiveness enters "To the Light- house." Also among these is Virgil, the giant of heroic verse, and Shakespeare, whose total vision and impeccable feel for word and character, and whose understanding of drama make him perhaps the greatest figure in English literature, if one may be permitted to say such things. The Greek tragedians and Emily Bronte, too, -must be seen as ethereal artists, and last, but not least by any means, D. H. Lawrence, whose intuition for character and feeling, clear intellectual mind and pellucid style deserve the highest praise, when subjectivity is allowed to creep into criticism. Overall, one must hesitate before saying that these "invisible" writers are any greater than those more visible authors. One group qualifies under the second terms, and the other under the first of Dedalus's statement. All must be seen as artists and as skilful craftsmen. Is it fair to say, then, that it is a matter of complete indifference whether the artist adopts a personal role or an empirical one in his works—beyond such matters as style? or might one make tentative generalisations—that poetry is largely the projection of the artist's personality; that drama is the projection of created character and demands impersonality from the artist; and that the novel affords full scope, at the writer's discretion. g There are too many exceptions for such generalisations to be in any way ; verified, but an intuitive assessment will perhaps acquiesce in them. For other fields of art, however, the question is less complex, because—deprived of words—the artist cannot make his opinions so evident, and can only use a more spiritual form of communication. Thus, while artists who wish to communicate through their art can only exist in an invisible refined way, their presence can be unmistakable. For instance, who does not see Turner the man in his poems of colour? Unquestionably every great painter presents himself in his touch, with 60 the brush, and in his choice of colour tone. Cezanne's gentleness, Seurat's intellectual approach and Picasso's vigour are all quite palpable in the still lives, the "Young Woman Powdering Herself" or "Guernica". In all El Greco's work, one sees his sense of pain and joy mixed, death and life after death. Other painters choose to deliver themselves more openly, like Rembrandt in his self-portraits, while a few achieve complete anonymity in such sacred art as Chartres, where it is the corporate aspiration, the sense of awe at God's majesty which impelled the builder. In terms of form, St. Peter's Basilica is no less perfect, but in St. Peter's one sees the architects, Michelangelo, Bernini, Brunelleschi, and not that sense of "mystic sweet communion" which fills the greatest cathedrals of the early Middle Ages. To distinguish between the two, one must rely on intuition, on sensing the sublimity of Chartres, and the grandeur of St. Peter's. One is the work of God, the other one of 4 Man's finest achievements. Now, in sculpture, too, it is possible to see the artist. The size and perfection of Michelangelo's figures indicate his sense of grandeur I and innate love of human beauty and form. The "David" could be the perfect human body, while the "Pieta" sums up all the beauty of Christ's pain in the perfection of its form. Donatello, in his chubby cherubs. his smooth Antinous-type youths, above all in his suggestive "David", betrays his homosexual tendencies. But what do we see in the "Venus de Milo"?—Something divine, something which transcends the humanity of Michelangelo and the vigour of Rodin. Music, too, holds enormous variety—and every artist betrays himself in an invisible, refined manner. Bach is the intellectual, Handel the Augustan, Mozart the volatile "sensibility" which varies between frivolity and oppressive gloom, Grieg the sentimentalist, Beethoven the spirit of Romanticism. The musician can only communicate himself in an invisible way. What is one left with? Artists vary between a complete and utter revealing of their own personality and a complete and utter anonymity, in which there is not even an "out of existence" awareness of the artist. It is impossible to give a qualitative assessment, since all art depends on taste, and much of it on fashion. What one finds is an enormous variety—a variety to match that of creation. One recalls the analogy with the "God of Creation", and one reconsiders the validity of Dedalus's apparent set of contradictions and meaninglessness. All have some i validity. They rarely are all applicable to a single case. Thus one finds

' that a hollow meaningless sentence holds true—simply because of its meaningless ambiguities and contradictions. It is omnicompetent, to coincide with the omnicompetence of the artist and the vastness of the range of art. R.S.

IVth FORM ESSAY ON THE BRINK It was warm and sunny. To my right was a field of corn, nearly ripe, but not yet the golden ears described in the poetry books. Ahead lay he road—what little of it there ever had been—and beyond that, a 61

Lt. short stretch of green and then the sea. There wasn't really any horizon; it was impossible to decide where sea met sky, and the haze above the ground seemed to silence everything. I walked on. Presently the road turned right and ran along the end of the field of corn, and parallel to the cliff-edge. Now I understood the two very dilapidated signs at the road end, which had said: "Unsuitable for Motors. No Through Road". Separating the asphalt of the road from a few tufts of grass and very little else was a worm-eaten, weathered wooden fence. I looked over and instinctively backed away. On the far side of the fence lay nothing at all for about seven hundred feet. At the base of a sheer cliff, dark green water lapped against blocks of rock, worn smooth by the ceaseless surfing of the North Sea. I walked a little further on. In one place the black asphalt of the road had broken off and slipped over the edge. The result was a bite out of the road about a foot in diameter, and the post that supported the fence was swaying in the wind. I crossed to a firmer 10 section of fence and looked over. The tide must have been nearly full, and the water was unbroken until it touched the base of the cliff. From where I stood I could not hear any sound—the water just approached the cliff, tried to climb the sheer rock and fell back into white foam below. I leant further over the fence. As I looked, suddenly I felt a great awareness of nature. Now I could hear a skylark that I had not heard before. I tried to look at the sky, but it hurt my eyes, and anyway I felt as if I wanted to watch the water. It was relaxing: you had to relax, and I put more weight on the fence. The air is clear and the height seems greater. I seem to be watching myself from outside my body. One of the seabirds below launches itself off the face of the rock with a push of its feet. I can fly like that—all I need to do is push with my feet and I can glide. I know what it will feel like—I will be free, all the way to the bottom. I can see myself spread my feet ready for the push. Only something is wrong; something tells me I mustn't. It will be so simple—just push and then glide down to become part of that dark green restless water. More weight on the fence. The seabird flies back. I watch it; the feathers' move in the wind, but the wings are held rigid. He rises on the upcurrent and then glides in over the land. The grass merges with the silver of the cornfield and the spell of the semi-consciousness is broken. Half my body is leaning over nothing and I retreat suddenly to the other side of the road. No one is in sight. Nobody would have known. The thought of what could have happened scares me, but just then it all seemed so clear. walk on down the hill to the village keeping well away from the cliff edge. It must have been the water, or the silence or just perhaps some form of primitive instinct. C.D.

er and greener than ever. The grass was wet with the dew and the n sparkled on the blades of grass as if diamonds had been growing om the grass. A few yards through the wood was a pool, about the size of a cricket pitch. The edge of the pool was lined with willow trees, their branches overhanging the lake, forming a tunnel round the edge of the lake. lBehind the willows grew oaks, strong, sturdy and powerful compared to the willows, or any tree in the wood for that matter. Growing at the side of the lake, in the water, were all variety of water plants. Marsh- marigolds shining brightly in the early-morning sun, and the brilliant green mosses, greener than the grass. There was not a breath of wind; stillness. Absolute stillness, no! not quite. In the tall reeds at the side of the pond. a dragon-fly was darting about, all but imperceptibly flicking its wings. The "blue needle", I thought was a better name for it. In the water below a water-boatman swam about, leaving a trail of v-shaped ripples, which betrayed it to the dragon-fly. The sun was high in the sky and the temperature rising all the time. The grass was drying out and the pleasant aroma of drying grass reached my nostrils,' a pleasant, sweet smell. The smell of sap also reached me, where some bark had been peeled off a willow. Stillness. It was afternoon, and the shadows started to lengthen, but it was still hot. At the far end of the pool a path lead off through the cool willows and oaks. It was a shady path; bees and wasps buzzed in the flowers growing wild by the path. The cone-shaped flowers of the fox-gloves were taken up with bees, sucking the nectar out. The smaller flowers of the speedwell and buttercup squatted at my feet, almost in admiration of the fox-gloves it seemed. There was not a breath of wind, nothing moved, nothing swayed, nothing, absolutely nothing. The path wound up through the woods; rays of sunlight pierced the dense foliage and gathered in little pools of light on the ground. The path emerged from the wood on top of a hill, covered in the deep purple of heather, and the long, long shadows of the trees. The sun was not far from the horizon; but still, even up on the hill-top everything was still, not a breath of wind even brushed my face. The sun disap- peared in a glowing mass of orange below the horizon; the shadows melted away into nothing, and I was suddenly standing alone, lost on the hill-top in a still, still world. R.W.P.

THIS HAMMER OF MINE This hammer I grip in my hand has been a family heirloom. Between the "U" of my finger and thumb I have held this Falling upon, rising again, falling upon my old anvil. To mould from the red, the strong.

The sparks fly and the flame dances upon the coals; The heat beats against my face, but no hurt results; I am used to the fire, to the heat, to the sparks. I grip the metal and pull out the red and glowing shaft. 64 My hammer falls and is lifted, falls and is lifted. The clang rings through my ears and the bars on the wall rattle. The clang rings and my mind longs to hear the next. My hammer falls and the red shapes under it. I hit and hit; the body of the metal yields; The metal flattens and is smooth, the glowing dims. I begin to lose my power and my grip over the glowing. I have finished and I stab the dim red into the trough. A cloud of steam rises and from the old dust covered tools A drop of water falls spiralling and flashing to the ground Where it shatters into millions of droplets That form into a soft crater of gravel. From the black and murky water I retrieve my piece of metal and view it. I take pride in this smouldering grey shape; I take pride in the greyish black. J.S.M.T. (III W)

With the death of Marcus Clegg on April 24th (as announced in the May issue of The Peterite) after a long and painful illness endured with characteristic courage, the School has lost one of its loyalist Old Boys Marcus was in the School from 1897-1907 and then entered Jesus College, Cambridge of which together with his school he remained grateful and devotedly proud throughout his life. Shortly after qualifying in Medicine, like most of his age, he was soon on active service in France administering to the suffering of his fellows during which he himself was wounded. At the end of hostilities he entered general practice as a Physician in Scarborough where he remained until retirement some 8 years ago; he became a well liked personality both professionally and socially as a result of which he enjoyed a wide circle of friends. Despite, however, his busy life in many different spheres in Scarborough, there was nothing he enjoyed more than visiting, whenever time permitted, the School to watch the cricket and 67 rugger matches, he himself, in his day having been a player in both the XI and the XV. Always a staunch supporter of the Old Peterite Club, he was one of the instigators in its reorganisation in 1955 and in 1958 became its President for 3 years. He, at once, energetically organised an appeal to Old Peterites for subscriptions to enable the Big Hall to be extended as a memorial to all those Old Peterites who fell in the two World Wars. As a result the total cost of £13,800 was subscribed solely by Old Peterites and at Commemoration 1960 Marcus was very proud on behalf of the Club to hand over to the Chairman of the Board of Governors the new Memorial Hall. Not only during his successful term as President of the O.P. Club but until ill health prevented him he regularly attended O.P. activities and never missed the London O.P. Dinner, in company with his old School mate W. H. Colley who predeceased Marcus by a few months. For a short while Marcus was the O.P. representative on the Board of Governors. Well known in masonry throughout the East Riding the achievements of the O.P. Lodge of which he was a past Master gave him particular pleasure. Indeed, to the end, news of any activity connected with the School was of the greatest interest to Marcus. Many of us are the richer for having felt the warmth of his friend- ship and in him to have witnessed the best characteristics of a gentle York sh reman

RICHARD HOOD METCALFE, 1111 M.A., M.D., M.CH1R. (CANTAB), F.R.C.S. (ENG), F.B.O.A., F.R.S.M., (1899-1972) From H. F. S. Gedge, (O.P.). First born son of Dr. Metcalfe, 2 St. Leonards, York.• St. Olave's Prep. School 1907-1913. St. Peters, School House 1913-17. O.T.C., Cox, House and School Boat. He completed a course at R.M.A. Woolwich and returned for intensive study in maths under Mr. Woodcock before going to Trinity College, Cambridge for 4 years obtaining his M.A. and M.D. He coxed 1st and 3rd Trinity eight and could have done so for the university boat but studies prevented this. His medical training was undertaken at St. Thomas's Hospital, London. After qualification in Surgery he was appointed in charge of the Accident Department of the General Hospital, Birmingham and con- sultant at Kidderminster. In 1940 he joined the R.A.M.C., being posted to the York Ortho- paedic Unit with rank of Colonel. Later he was transferred to Whitehall as Brigadier temporarily and returned to York. After cessation of hostilities in Europe he was appointed Consulting Orthopaedic Surgeon at St. James's Hospital, Balham, and consultant at Queen Mary's Hospital for Children, Carshalton, Surrey. Whilst there he took over as Secretary of the O.P. London Area, from J. B. Gedge (1909-1919). He carried out his duties thoroughly, with enthusiasm and devotion. Attendance at Commemoration was regular. 68 IIHis wife died in 1965 without issue and he married Kathleen Metcalfe, widow of his younger brother Clifford later that year, coming to live in Lymington in 1968. He died on 2nd August, following a major surgery operation. His I only sister, Amy lives nearby at Brockenhurst. A wreath of O.P. Colours was sent from the President and Members f the 0.P. Club for the service at St. John's, Boldre, prior to cremation.

Mr. Tom Lewis, Governor and past President of the O.P. Club, now ing at Sway, has asked me to •write these notes, which I gladly do as r first years in York were very close, playing together in the Abbey dens before starting at St. Olave's, (then in Bootham, opposite otham School), before transfer to the house on the site of Clifton go Hall. His family home was always open to young folk. Close touch was ade again after I had been working in Leeds, Manchester, Spain and India with Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth, when I visited Birmingham in 1939 /40 on service with Ministry of Munitions. He was indeed one of the most loyal of Old Boys, devoted to the ool and all its affairs.

OLD PETERITE TENNIS Once again we were struggling to raise a side this year and conse- quently suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of our younger, and dare I say it, fitter opponents. I am sure that there is no lack of Old Peterites willing, even eager, to play in this, probably Britain's foremost match now that most of us have withdrawn from Wimbledon. I am, therefore, asking all those interested in performing next year to write to me now so that I can compile a list of probables. Whether you left 30 years ago or have just left this term, you could be one of the chosen few! Reply to: G. M. Todd, 6 Heworth Hall Drive, York.

71 OXFORD LETTER Oxford, Trinity term 1972. The Trinity Term at Oxford is traditionally one of leisured pursuits allowing a pleasantly relaxed appreciation of University life. Never- theless, the Oxford Old Peterites have followed their many and varied interests with active enthusiasm. Similarly also the University has bestirred itself to action and has cheered us all by finally agreeing to admit women as undergraduates in five of the men's colleges. Alas the changes do not take place until 1974 and few of the Old Peterites here at present will remain to see this enlightened plan become a reality. An inevitable feature of the Trinity term is of course, examinations. J. Nutter is to be congratulated on getting 2nd class honours in Mathematics. I. M. Macleod sat his Certificate of Education and by the time this letter is published should be teaching at Aylesbury Grammar School. In addition J. Harrison and S. Foster took first year examinations in Geology and Physics respectively. We trust they were both successful. The political climate has been unusually hot for a summer term in Oxford. The financial position of the Union has been getting steadily worse and to add to the current misfortunes the Standing Committee has been fraught with petty rivalries. The culmination of this came in the Union Election tribunal at the end of term in which the editors of an unofficial Union newsletter were punished for electoral malpractice. Rodney Lund was among the culprits and was suspended from Union membership for a year. However, it is possible this harsh decision may be commuted and as compensation he still remains Treasurer of the University Labour Club. Political misfortune of another kind came to John Williams. As Political Action Officer of the University Conservative Association he was responsible for student voting, and in the local elections in May saw the Conservatives lose control of the City Council for the first time for many years. Needless to say he was unsuccessful in his end of term elections. J. D. Harrison has had an active term despite having 'to work for examinations. He has flown several times with the University Air Squadron and in addition has rowed very successfully for St. Peter's fourth Eight. During Eights Week they managed to achieve seven "bumps" which is a considerable achievement in four days rowing. D. F. Harding has also been pursuing his sporting interests. He has been shooting regularly for the University 1st VIII and is also captain of the O.T.C. Service Rifle team. He informs us that he is still recovering from illnesses and wounds sustained on an exercise with T.A.V.R. in the New Year. S. Foster can be seen regularly attending the Christian Union meet- ings. He has also developed an interest in rowing and spent Eights week running up and down the towpath photographing oarsmen catching "crabs" and coxes being thrown in the water. Another Old Peterite often at C. U. meetings is M. J. Black who insists modestly that he is playing in the "worst orchestra in Oxford." T. M. Day has 'had a busy 72 term musically. He has given organ recitals in Balliol (reminiscences of our P.M.?) and has conducted the Isis singers. Unfortunately we could not elicit much information from A. Scaife and J. Fender, so their great deeds go unrecorded, the latter pointing out that since he was not a "power-hungry politician" he had done nothing of note. Finally a word about N. J. Williams who is leading a very hectic life at the Polytechnic. He has been taking an active interest in Union affairs and has, in addition, formed an Ecology Society. He has also become a football fanatic, 'both on the field and on the terraces. We hope past and present Peterites have found our letter interesting if not stimulating and that we do not discourage any current Peterites from joining us among the "dreaming spires."
