OCTOBER, 1966
No. 373
EDITORIAL Mr. Hill, in his address on Speech Day, called for more of the spirit of rebellion and argument. He invited us to criticise and question the world around us. Certainly, without rebellion and disagreement there can be no progress. This is true of any society, at any time. Unthinking acceptance of the world as we find it can produce only stagnation and apathy. There is always scope for change and development, modification and improvement. Abraham Lincoln and William Wilberforce in the sphere of politics, Stravinsky and Berg in music, the Wright brothers and Rutherford in the sciences—all were inclined to question established theories and beliefs. All, however, rebelled intelligently and thoughtfully. Blind revolt as an end in itself is not progressive, but retrograde: it proves only the foolishness and selfishness of the rebel. Nothing is so sacred or established that it cannot bear questioning and probing, but no reassurance or enlightenment can result when the mind is made up at the outset. Bigotry is not an improvement on gullibility.
SCHOOL NOTES At the end of the Summer Term Mr. E. K. Robinson retired after many years' service, and Mr. T. H. V. Williams moved on to fresh fields in the South of England. We thank them for their many and varied contributions to the School, and wish them well in the future. On 6th May a party from Transitus visited the I.C.I. works at Billingham and spent an interesting and instructive day there. On 14th May a party from Felsted School, Essex, joined some Peterites on a survey of some geographical features of this region. The footbridge over Clifton was opened to the School on 24th May. It was soon discovered that the bridge provided not only a safer crossing but usually a quicker one too. At the end of May the School welcomed Dr. Bullock for a few days' visit to study aspects of boarding-school education. His findings will eventually be made known in a report being prepared by Dr. Royston Lambert, in Cambridge. The annual C.C.F. inspection on June 14th passed off well. The inspecting officer, Captain Watson, R.N., complimented the contingent on its display.

The Chief Guest at Commemoration on 23rd July was J. E. C. Hill, Esq., 0.P., the Master of Balliol College, Oxford. The Headmaster's and Mr. Hill's speeches are printed below. At the Commemoration Service on Sunday, 24th July, the preacher was the Rt. Rev. M. H. Harland, Lord Bishop of Durham, also an Old Peterite. During the holidays Mr. B. Allen, Mr. G. M. Austin and Mr. A. J. Riley all got married. We offer to them and their wives our congratulations and all best wishes for the future.
SPEECH DAY HEADMASTER'S REPORT I should like to begin by adding my welcome in a more familiar language to Mr. Christopher Hill and emphasising the great pleasure we all feel at the presence of yet another Old Peterite who has attained an honoured place among the leading academic personalities of the world today. We were, incidentally, very interested to read in The Times, after our Latin Oration had gone to press, of yet another honour you have attained in your election to a Fellowship of the British Academy. May I also welcome you, my Lord Mayor, the Lady Mayoress, the Sheriff and the Sheriff's Lady, to our Prizegiving, and express our great satisfaction that you have been able to find time to honour the School in this way. Incidentally, we may perhaps be permitted to comment at this stage that any gap there ever was between the School and the City has now been adequately bridged ! I mentioned in my report last year the continued happy relationship we had with the City and the fact that for many years we have been privileged to assist to some extent in the education of local boys. I do not think it is necessary for me to say very much about the Public Schools' Commission, which is to look into the future of Independent Education and particularly the so-called "Public Schools", since we have already, on many occasions, expressed our willingness, and indeed our anxiety to serve the City and country in any way we may be asked to do, so long as we are given the freedom to develop along modern lines. We should be only too pleased to welcome here any members of the Commission who would like to investigate our aims and activities. With the completion of the footbridge, our major building programme, for which an appeal was launched, has now been virtually completed, but we shall never be able to sit back and must continue to develop to meet modern requirements. During the coming summer vacation we are carrying out several minor building operations which will result in the addition of two larger classrooms for the School, and at the same time provide better accommodation both for the masters, who have been satisfied with so little for so long, and the administration connected with the issue of books and stationery. I am glad to be able to report that the swimming bath has come up to all expectations and proved to be a very valuable asset during the past year. It is pleasing too to know that so many of our parents and friends have found the holiday club useful and enjoyable, and I hope the membership of this will be extended in the coming year. 2
The question of rising costs and fees in general is a source of constant anxiety to the Governors, and I am sure they would wish to express to parents their regret at the necessity for the increase to become operative next term. It is always hoped that new fees can remain static for a year or two, but as everyone will appreciate, the matter does not rest in our hands. We shall continue to take parents and prospective parents into our confidence as may be necessary, and shall only make further revisions in fees when it is evident that it is necessary. I am sure our parents would not wish us to lower our educational standards in an attempt to curb expenditure, and we do not intend to depart from our policy of making our fees completely inclusive. I mentioned in my report last year that we are arranging to abandon the short two-year course to "0" level, and our plans for this will be completed by September next year. Instead every boy will take three years to "0" level, and the system of "setting" which is already operative in the IVth and Vth forms, will be carried down to the IIIrd forms, which incidentally next term will be the successors of the forms we have for years called "Shell". Thus, the revised system, which incidentally is being followed by most schools, will not result in the cleverer boys reaching a lower standard than at present, and will make things very much easier from the point of view of University entry. The situation at the moment is that some of our boys leave school after only four years and one term, when in some cases they have obtained places at Oxford or Cambridge, but are very often not sufficiently mature at that stage. There will be a number of boys in this category at the end of next term, and I hope that both the boys and their parents will consider the individual advice we shall give them before deciding to leave prematurely. There is, I feel, a good deal to be said for a period between school and university, but this should come after the end of the full five-year course at school, when a boy has reached greater maturity both in his work and general development. There are two things I would like to say about the work of the School : the first relates to the tutor system introduced during the year. The purpose of this is to give a boy, on entry to Transitus and the VIth forms, the attention of one master who is available to advise him on his timetable, the allocation of his working time to his various subjects, and in general to begin that difficult operation—the transformation from schoolboy to student. This is in addition to the services to the boy of his Housemaster, Careers Master and Headmaster, and we have found it to be working well in cases where the boy is prepared to co-operate. I look forward to an extension of the use of this system in the coming year, when everyone concerned will have become more alive to its potentialities. The second point on which I wanted to say a word relates to work in conjunction with out-of-school activities. I shall shortly be giving a brief review of the school games and other activities and in each one of these activities we feel it is our duty to create the conditions for teams or groups to do as well as possible. There is no excuse for shoddy games any more than shoddy work, but I am becoming increasingly worried by the demands made, particularly on older boys, in the matter of these activities. I am hoping, for example, to relieve some of the most senior boys of some of their daily responsibilities so that they will have more time to devote to their work, and as far as games are concerned, we shall to some extent be restricting school matches and functions which interfere with a boy's work, bearing in mind that, after all, the real purpose of playing games is to ensure a balance between physical and academic training. I have said 3
before from this platform that one of my difficulties, and indeed one of the pleasanter ones, is to restrain the over-enthusiastic master in the organisation of his particular game or other activity and at the same time to give nil,. every encouragement and support. It is inevitably only the Headmaster who can—or must try to—see the whole picture. To turn now to some curriculum changes, we have this year seen the first year of the introduction of the New Mathematics, and next year our boys will be taking "0" levels in this subject. Both boys and masters are to be congratulated on the way this new project has been tackled, and we should not have embarked upon this project had we not been completely satisfied that it will be to the benefit of mathematics teaching and learning in general. We are in close touch with current trends in the teaching of Modern Languages, and particularly of French, and in this and other respects we have to thank the University of York for the facilities they have offered and the support they have given us. The audio-visual system, which was started this year in St. Olave's in J.4, will be extended next year to the J.3's, so that a boy will be able to familiarise himself with French sounds and words before he begins the more formal study of the subject in J.4. Mr. Craven also has in mind extensions of this system in various parts of the Senior School and in other languages. Although we are not at present making any major changes in our Science syllabus, all our Science masters are studying very carefully the proposals for Nuffield Science, and it may be that in a year or two we shall go some way towards carrying these theories into operation. Careers advisory work is becoming more and more oriented towards advice about further education. This advice ranges from choice of University and course of study, through choice of Technical College to education on the job, that is, the combination of education with apprenticeship or similar form of training. Two years ago the School became one of the early members of C.R.A.C. (the Careers Research and Advisory Centre) and this body is now producing very valuable comparative information which has been virtually unobtainable in the past. Some examples of their publications can be seen in our Careers Room and special mention should be made of the University Course Comparison pamphlets, which are of immense value in guiding the potential University student and those who are trying to help him. We held our third Careers Convention in March, when we once again gave up a day and a half to giving concentrated careers information. We are very grateful to the large number of people who gave up so much of their time to this venture, either as speakers or by attending the exhibition and being prepared to talk to all and sundry. It is impressive that so many employers are prepared to help in this way, without putting any pressure on boys to join their organisations. In fact all those who came seemed to regard an occasion like this as providing them with an opportunity to take part in the process of education in the widest sense. House and School Drama have again had a vigorous year and involved the practical as well as the acting abilities of a large number of boys in the various productions. After a break of three years the School Drama Society returned to Shakespeare, and found in "Henry IV—Part I" a suitable challenge for a sound team; and deserving of special mention are Furey's "Hal", Clegg's "Falstaff" and Thirlwell's "Henry". One cannot pass over a brief report on the play without mentioning Crombie's excellent stage work and the assistance he received from Grayson and others.
4
There have been several House Plays performed during the year, but these, of course, necessarily have to be limited since the time available is not great. Next term the Drama Society will combine with the Music Society for the biennial opera, which is to be "The Pirates of Penzance". The time is coming round again for another Science Exhibition, and this is being arranged for the end of next Easter term, the dates being Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of Easter week. We have to say goodbye to Mr. E. K. Robinson this term. Mr. Robinson came here on his appointment as Senior Science Master twentyone years ago, and many generations of boys have good reason to be grateful to him for his devoted service to them and to the School. Mr. Robinson, through his obvious sincerity and integrity, has exerted a considerable influence over us all and we can assure him that he takes with him into his retirement our best thanks and good wishes for a long and happy retirement. We hope that, living as he will continue to do in York, he will not cut himself off from school affairs, and will still be a familiar figure among us. Many Societies continue to flourish both at School and House level, the chief being the Debating Society, the Science Society and the Music Society, with the Young Farmers' Club and Photographic Society continuing to interest the specialists. Some 70 members of the school form the Scout Group, and the programme of the Group has covered a wide range of outdoor and indoor activities. The outstanding event of the year has, however, been the announcement this term of the special changes which are to be made in the Scout Movement over the next few years. Inevitably, the uniform changes have received most press publicity, but none-the-less, there are many other more important changes which we feel will revitalise the Movement and make it fit in more easily to the modern environment. The C.C.F., now well re-established as a voluntary body, has had a good year, and I am glad to know that the Summer Camp lists are very satisfactory. The Contingent earned—and received—an excellent report on the annual inspection. There are so many ramifications of C.C.F. syllabus, training and interests nowadays that there is something for every taste. The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme has now been in operation here for nearly four years, and at present there are about 70 boys participating, and a few are approaching the Gold standard. Next term we hope to give actual service to the Police, Fire Brigade, Civil Defence, R.S.P.C.A., and in doing so to utilise the training received from these bodies. Considering the fact that we only devote one term to our rugger, we can mark the past season as a very successful one. It the first half we lost several matches disappointingly by narrow margins, but ended with convincing victories over both Ampleforth and Worksop; the victory over Ampleforth by 16—nil, being the largest margin since 1926. We were also much encouraged by the bumper year enjoyed by our senior Colts, who won all their matches and finished by securing 157 points against 20. Many old boys will be interested to hear that Mr. Jeffs' school at Dumbarton is bringing down a team to play us next term. The Athletics season, short as it inevitably must be, proved more than usually successful. This activity is invaluable since it involves every boy 5
in the School, and during the three weeks thousands of miles were run by the 400 boys, some of them in very fast times. On Sports Day four new school records were established, the most outstanding of which was T. B. Ward's quarter of a mile in 54 secs. Our tradition for a high standard of cricket happily continues unchecked. Unhappily our Centenary Match against Durham most disappointingly had to be abandoned without a ball being bowled, but it did not prevent us from holding the celebration dinner in the evening. As I have mentioned earlier, the Swimming Bath has been a great success, and as was expected, there has been a tremendous improvement in the standard of swimming. There is now no non-swimmer in the School, and the numbers of Life Saving Society awards and Personal Survival awards have increased greatly. The School Swimming teams have also acquitted themselves well and are already able to hold their own with schools having a long-standing swimming tradition. Boating has kept some 115 boys occupied during the past two terms, and continues to be a most valuable alternative to cricket. It is not, in general, possible for a boy to take up boating until his third year. The Boat Club repeated last year's success in the Head of the Ouse, the 1st VIII beating six crews in the Senior Division to win by 22 secs., while of the twelve crews in the Schools' IV's event, St. Peter's has 5 of the 1st six. The 1st VIII went on to row in the Schools' Head of the River at Putney, coming 21st out of 125 crews, and the fastest crew north of the Thames. The Squash team has had an outstanding season, and for the second year in succession were undefeated in all school matches. The highlight of the season was undoubtedly the three-day tour in the south of England, where we beat all four of our opponents, namely, Brighton College, Hurstpierpoint, Tonbridge and Worksop. This is the more pleasing since Brighton College, undefeated until then, was considered the best team in the south. These results all reflect great credit on the Captain for the last two years, R. D. Harding, who, together with a partner from London University, reached the final of the Lonsdale Cup. Vooght, our first-string, is also worthy of special mention, and although he was unable to enter for the Grisdale Cup, he retained his Northumberland Junior Championship for the third time. Hockey suffered the oft repeated fate of being largely spoilt by bad weather. Out of ten 1st XI matches, three were won, three lost and four cancelled. An outstanding so-called "Minor" sport success registered during the year was J. Pawson's Fencing success in winning the Schoolboys' Foil Championship in London, a trophy, incidentally, won for Harrow by Sir Winston Churchill in 1882. PRIZE LIST

A SUMMARY OF THE SPEECH OF THE CHIEF GUEST J. C. HILL, Esq., O.P. Mr. Hill referred to the eerie feeling he had on returning to his old school 35 years after leaving it as a boy. It was, he said, a "terrifying and odd experience" to find the roles reversed and he could only recall with comfort that he could not remember a word said at any of the speech days he had attended as a boy. He would, he said, fall into the habit of past pupils and reminisce. He touched on an early incident in his past, where he had been unable to arrange a rendezvous with a girl-friend because she could not decipher his handwriting. The acquisition of a typewriter he offered as the first piece of advice to the present generation at St. Peter's. Mr. Hill recalled how in his day the most famous Old Peteries had been Alcuin, Guy Fawkes and Dick Turpin and how he had hoped to emulate them "even if Alcuin seemed a bit dull". Mr. Hill maintained that schooldays were unlikely to be the happiest of one's life, because he considered the process of maturing and growing-up to be "unpleasant and difficult". School helped to thicken the skin and to render one less sensitive to the even harder shocks and difficulties one would experience in later life. He described the previous Headmaster, S. M. Toyne Esq., as having had one of the most profound influences on his life, in that he had inculcated a "complete scepticism" in him. He had learned to have no automatic respect for his elders and certainly none for himself. Mr. Hill said that the most important thing in life was to "do what you want—if you are quite sure What it is you want". It was important to do things not merely because it was the accepted thing, but out of a conviction that it was the right and logical thing to do. He cited the idea of going to University as one which needed to be examined in the light of the individual's real needs. As Milton said, "A man can be a heretic in the truth", meaning that if the truth was not one's own conviction, then even the most orthodox views were not "true", were not "your own truths". It was better, Mr. Hill said, to be wrong for the right reasons than vice versa. All the people whom he admired had been rebels, nonconformists and heretics—not for its own sake, but because they had "thought things out and stuck to it". He deplored the stuffed-shirts Who circumscribed their views within the limits of what they thought socially acceptable. To parents Mr. Hill offered the advice that children had always wanted to outrage their elders and that long hair was only the expression in the sixties of the same feeling that produced dirty flannel trousers and leather patches in the thirties. Parents must keep in touch with the rebellious spirit of the young and encourage them to work out their own solutions to the many problems which the parents' generation had left them.
MR. E. K. ROBINSON We are sorry to have to record the retirement of Mr. E. K. Robinson, who has been Senior Science Master since he came to us to fill this post in September, 1944. From the very beginning of his tenure of this office, Mr. Robinson tackled his work with determination and enthusiasm, and indeed, in war-time conditions, both these qualities were more than usually essential.
8
During Mr. Robinson's mastership at St. Peter's, he has organised five Science Exhibitions, and everyone who remembers any of these will agree that they have been an unqualified success and have made valuable contributions to the boys' scientific education and outlook and have provided unique interest for our parents and visitors. Mr. Robinson has deservedly enjoyed the full confidence of generations of schoolboys, and during the twenty-two years he has been with us, many successful scholars have passed through his hands. His care and patience with the less gifted boys have certainly always been among his outstanding and most appreciated characteristics. Everyone at St. Peter's wishes Mr. and Mrs. Robinson a long and happy retirement, and we are glad to know that, apart from a visit shortly to be made to see their married daughter in India, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson are to remain in York.

HOUSE NOTES RISE HOUSE After the disappointments of last term we have been fully compensated by the winning of the Senior Cricket Cup and the Yeomans Cup by a most resolute team. In addition to this the House Tennis Team fought their way to the final, only to be beaten by a very strong Grove team, who clinched their claim to the Oxford Cup with this victory. Our swimming and boating efforts did not show themselves too well, but looking to the junior part of the house, we could fare a great deal better in swimming in the future. We were proud to note that no less than nine prizes were won by Risites and we congratulate the winners. 19
DRONFIELD HOUSE After his brief stay we had to say farewell to Mr. Riley as Assistant Housemaster, though we are assured of his continued interest in the House in the coming years. We thank him for his services to the House and wish him every happiness in his married life. To commemorate his term with us Mr. Riley very kindly presented us with a reference book for the House Library. We also said farewell to eleven members of the House and wish them well in their chosen futures. On the face of it, the term was not obviously successful in the sporting world. However, though we have now lost most of the cups we had won in our first year, the various teams and crews acquitted themselves well, the House VIII once again reaching the final of the House boating, and the House Swimming Team being runners-up in the inter-house swimming competition. We passed the Oxford Cup on to the Grove with our congratulations. Our efforts on the cricket field were gratifying considering the small number of cricketers in the House, and for his services in this direction and his many other contributions to the life of the House, M. J. T. Carr was awarded his House Colours.
THE GROVE In the end this last term proved very successful in spite of a few disappointments at the beginning. In spite of J. J. Vooght's efforts to coach the cricket teams, they failed to retain any of the cups. The Junior team, in fact, made a very disappointing show. The Senior team, however, beat Queen's convincingly, but were finally beaten by the Rise after a splendid match. In the Swimming Sports the House team was placed fourth in spite of the vigorous training. C. R. Outhwaite won the dive and was awarded his colours for his efforts. D. H. Brown deserves a mention too as he amassed the greatest number of points for the House. The Juniors, however, had more success and won the Swimming Standards' Cup, which was awarded for the first time this year. Both the House rowing VIII and IV made brave efforts in the House races. Credit must be given to I. M. Crombie, the captain, for his coaching and encouragement. The Shooters had the greatest success. They won both the team and aggregate cups. J. F. Brown was awarded his House Colours for his efforts in this field and for many other services to the House. P. J. G. C. Bleach to to be congratulated, too, on winning the Recruit Cup for the House. Under D. R. Baxter's excellent captaincy, the tennis team avenged their defeat last year by winning the cup this year so easily. The height of our success in sport was marked by the winning of the Oxford Cup, which stands among another thirteen cups won throughout the year. Finally, we congratulate Mr. Allen on his marriage and wish him all the best in the future. 20
THE MANOR J. R. H. Midgley, who joined the Juniors, was the only newcomer to the House this term. During The term C. J. A. Smith was appointed a House Monitor. Unfortunately the House was not very successful either on the sports field or in the class-room. In the cricket the Junior XI played very well in the first two rounds, but fell disastrously below standard in the final. The Burton Cup for Senior House Leagues came off the shelf after a twoyear stay in the House, as under the rules we were not able to produce a team. In the boating we failed to collect any cups, and the shooters failed to reach the very high standard of the previous year, though D. J. McKenzie did extremely well to be chosen to shoot for the C.C.F. in Canada, as did L. M. Creer in winning the Northern Command C.C.F. Championship. However, in the swimming we did very well in coming third, and in the chess it is believed we are in the final, but because of exam commitments this inter-house competition has dragged over two terms. The House musicians deserve congratulations for their performance in pulling off the Baird Cup. D. J. McKenzie, I. L. Boyd and N. E. Tomlinson are to be congratulated on the award of their Senior House Colours and Morris on his Junior House Colours. Mr. Austin is leaving us to get married. He has been in the House two years and we thank him for all that he has done for us, and we wish him happiness and prosperity in the future. As for all the other leavers, we thank them for all that they have done, especially the monitors, in the running of the House. We wish them all the best in their future careers and hope to see them back here sometime.
QUEEN'S With only one new boy coming this term there were no drastic changes in the House and the term started smoothly, if slowly. In the sports field the House had mixed success. The House Cricket teams had little success, although the league teams did extremely well. The poor cricket may be due to the fact that Queen's has more oarsmen than any other house. Both the House VIII and House IV rowed extremely well, the IV being a little unlucky in having rowed together only twice before their first race. Queen's had luck in the rowing draw, having byes in both events. (The fact that the Captain of Boats was in Queen's is completely coincidental with the draw !). Both House crews reached the final and the VIII rowed brilliantly to beat Dronfield, last year's holders, by two lengths. The House acquitted themselves quite well in the tennis, but had little success in the swimming, although G. F. Hardman and J. A. S. Benn swam well to obtain most of the points between them. 21
P. S. Oglesby and G. A. Willstrop are to be congratulated on the award of their House Colours for long and useful service to the House in many fields. We wish the leavers well in the future and hope they have every success that they deserve.
SCHOOL HOUSE The term started by welcoming Miss Barlow, as the new matron, and three new juniors. Sporting activities this term brought us two cups. The best achievement was the winning of the Kazerooni Cup for inter-house swimming. The junior part of the House was particularly strong, with the Sargeant brothers and Jervis winning many events. Sargeant, K. J., was awarded his School Swimming Colours. In the newly introduced swimming standards for the junior section of the School we were runners-up. The House VIII, coached by Mr. Duncan, reached the semifinal by beating the Manor. The Junior IV, Argyle, C. R., Town, Williamson, Wilson and Exell, coached by Lazenby, won the House IV's Cup. House Colours were awarded to R. N. Beaumont and M. A. Groundwater. It was encouraging to see the House leading in the Junior Section of the Work Cup. Both House Cricket teams lost in their first round matches. Leavers at the end of term included all the monitors, Sinclair and Knowles and Mr. Williams, who had been Assistant House-Master for three years. We wish them every happiness and success in the future.
TEMPLE The House came back this term to bask in the reflected glory of the success of J. Pawson in winning the Public Schools' Individual Foil Championship in London during the holidays. We offer him our congratulations. Perhaps, however, the main achievement of the term was the winning, for the first time during Mr. Rhodes' housemastership of Temple, a House Cricket Cup. Our Senior team, having beaten the Manor in the last over and the School House by 10 wickets, lost to a strong Rise team in the final. The Junior House team, however, having defeated the Grove and Queens, went on to defeat the Manor convincingly by ten wickets in the Final. For their enthusiastic determination against seemingly overwhelming odds Lancaster, Graham and D. J. Barker were awarded their Senior House Colours and Cowan and Place their Junior House Colours. Cantrell, already a Junior Colour, is to be congratulated on his captaincy of the Junior team. The Senior House VIII lost by a length to the Grove, whilst the Junior IV, although relatively inexperienced, put up a brave effort to lose by two lengths to the School House, also the eventual winners. The Tennis team lost in the first round to the Grove who went on to win the cup. 22
The end of the term saw further success in the winning of the Senior League Cup, the Burton Cup, by an enthusiastic League team with an undefeated record. On the last day of term the struggle for the Chess trophy finally ended with a win for Temple. The House was well represented on Speech Day in the Prize giving with A. M. Bowie, Day, Ward, Willcock, Lund, Nutter, A. Scaife and G. V. Fisher appearing on the list. W. R. Copeland had already been awarded the Sykes Bequest Essay Prize and also won the Hobbies Cup. Finally we say goodbye to Lockwood, Day, Martin, Graham, Pawson, Lancaster, Hart, J. R. Barker, Peacock, D. J. Barker, Bough, Amos, Reiss and P. S. Fisher and wish them every success in the future.
THE CHAPEL Since the last Chapel Notes were written two happy domestic events have reminded us that the Chapel is the focusing point of a Christian family and not simply the place where the School meets for daily prayer. On the first Sunday of the Summer Term, Mr. Kirby's baby daughter was baptized and on the last Saturday of the summer holidays Mr. Shallcross' daughter was married in the Chapel. Our prayers and good wishes go with both these families. This year we were able to return to the practice of having a Sung Communion on Ascension Day. At the end of June we commemorated our Patron Saint with a great United Service with St. Olave's in the Minster, entitled "The Pilgrimage of 'St. Peter according to St. Matthew". This splendid service was specially designed for us by Dean Milner-White. It was a great happiness to have one of the most distinguished Old Peterites, the Bishop of Durham, as the special preacher at Commemoration. His sermon must have been one of his last before his retirement. An event of historic interest was the sermon preached on 19th June by the Headmaster of Ampleforth. We were most grateful to him for coming and to our other visiting preachers, the Dean and the Rev. Leonard Melling, the Area Secretary of U.S.P.G., who used a blow-pipe from Borneo with telling effect to deliver his text. May I once again express our gratitude to the large number of people who have helped in the work of the Chapel: Richard Harding and the Rise Juniors; the loyal and hard-working choir; the cleaners; Miss Arton and her successor Miss Barlow, who have looked after the altar linen; and the ladies who have taken such trouble with the flowers week after week? N.K.W. Trenholm Fisher was confirmed by the Bishop of Selby on 10th May at the Church of the Holy Redeemer, Acomb. 23

CHOIR NOTES Before the first practice of term, the choir had a firm suspicion that a busy term was ahead; there was much new music in the folders, and everybody was aware that this was the term with the Ripon Festival, the St. Peter's Day Service in York Minster and Commemoration added to the routine services in the School Chapel. For the first Sunday service of the term, Easter memories were revived with the traditional Carol, "This Joyful Eastertide", and very soon we were in Ascensiontide, with the Weekday Sung Communion, at which the Merbecke and Darke in F settings were combined. On Whit Sunday the School joined the choir to sing Stanford in B6. This marked the beginning of an era in which the School appeared to take a far more vociferous part in the services; at the same service, the choir sang the Whitsun Anthem—Come Holy Ghost, arranged by T. Attwood, in Which A. B. Reed sang the solo for the first verse. On Trinity Sunday, the School again joined the choir for Haydn's great hymn of praise, "Creations Hymn", and later in the same week, the choir sang at the Ripon Festival, together with six other choirs from the York-Leeds area. After a long practice, the rendering of Stanford in C and Expectans Expectair, by Charles Wood, was a remarkable effort, and a tribute to Mr. Waine in binding these unknown choirs together. The choir outing to Scarborough provided mental, physical and musical refreshment to the choir, who returned to begin practising for the special St. Peter's service in the Minster, which after considerable hard work, reached its climax on the day, with the Palestrina anthem "Tues Petrus", sung by the combined choirs of St. Peter's and St. Olave's. From now to the end of term, the choir practices were taken up with practising for the Commemoration service, together with the term's chief anthem, "0 for the Wings of a Dove", in which R. M. Wright sang the solo, with exceptional confidence and feeling. At the Commemoration Service, the School ventured into the realms of Harmony, with Stanford in B6. This baffled some, but provided all with an opportunity to sing "flat-out" during the congregational practices. The anthem at this service was dedicated to the Chaplain and the School, and was an arrangement for choir and school of the hymn tune "King's Lynn" by Coleman. On 9th July, seven members of the choir, R. M. Wright, D. J. Judson and A. W. Hodgson (T), 0. G. Hodgson (A); J. R. W. Thirlwell (T), R. L. Harrison (B.) and D. J. Barker (B2), sang at an R.S.C.M. service in Ripon Cathedral. They joined with similar numbers from other choirs, to give everybody experience in singing a "typical cathedral Evensong", the Anthem, "Beati Quorum", by Stanford, was considered to be of a very high standard, as were parts of Walmisley in D minor, but the Psalms fell well below the standard to be expected from a cathedral choir. Those concerned in this service very much enjoyed the singing of unaccompanied responses, and it is felt that this would be a welcome innovation in the School Chapel. 26
Finally, thanks must be expressed to the leavers from the choir, which will be much diminished at the beginning of next term; particularly missed will be Mr. Williams who has lead the Deacon's Basses for the last two years; it will be difficult to find a more cheerful successor. D.J.B.
THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S AWARD SCHEME-A PERSONAL VIEW This scheme was launched back in 1958 by a group of eminent people, led by Sir John Hunt and the Duke, to give a challenge and a purpose to the youth of to-day. Its ideas were to encourage initiative, creative leisure, physical fitness and a sense of duty to the community, and three separate levels of the award were introduced to provide a successive challenge. Each level is divided into four groups; the Expedition, involving the walking of a given distance in a given time, a certain number of overnight camps, the ability to fend for oneself and a knowledge of first aid; Rescue and Public Service, which requires the candidate to undergo a course of training and service with some public body, for example the Police, Fire Brigade or Civil Defence; Pursuits and Projects, in which you have to follow a hobby for a certain period and satisfy an examiner of your proficiency; and Fitness, consisting of a certain selection of athletic activities, in which a certain standard must be reached. All groups must be completed to gain each award. The group that attracts most interest and publicity is, however, the Expedition, because incompetence or inexperience can and does lead to injury and loss of life, especially at the Gold level. This is because of the time and distance requirements, 50 miles in 3 days, but more particularly because it has to take place over some of the roughest country in Britain, areas like Snowdonia, Dartmoor, Exmoor and the Cairngorms, without the use of many paths or roads. A candidate properly trained in the use of a compass and map and in emergency techniques will come through, a poorly-trained one may suffer. Here at St. Peter's we have to undergo rigorous training before being allowed to attempt the Gold Award Expedition and I have been asked to describe one such training weekend partly to reassure parents, anxious about their offspring's safety and partly to inform the School just what those odd fellows who disappear for the weekend two or three times every Summer Term actually do while they are gone. This is certainly no refuge for the idle, who have to join something to escape their housemaster's vigilant eye. Preparation began about a fortnight beforehand, when we were given details of our dropping points and destination and a rough outline of our expected route. The six of us in the group, myself, D. J. Doyle, I. M. Macleod, J. R. Wilson, J. S. W. Cook and A. J. E. Hodges, then worked out the final details and discussed the question of food, always a thorny one. On the Tuesday before the expedition we presented a final description 27
(written) of the route and pursued the question of food with Mr. Burbridge, who agreed to pass on our requests to the caterers. On the Thursday meths and paraffin bottles were filled and some packing was done. At 12-20 p.m. Friday, we collected food from the kitchens and final packing was done. Promptly at 3-45 p.m., changed into walking kit, we assembled to board the bus. At 4-05 p.m. the bus arrived and we reached our dropping point, Helwath Bridge, between Whitby and Scarborough, at 6-00 p.m., only half an hour late. The weather was misty but we felt confident of our ability to find our way ! We ploughed our way doggedly and short-sightedly across Fylingdales Moor. It must be admitted that our navigation, entirely by compass, was faultless till we reached a certain Louven Howe, two-thirds of the way across. Then, in a momentary flash of inspiration, our navigator steered us gaily off along the wrong line of boundary stones, with the willing concurrence of the rest of the party. We soon realised our mistake however, when the expected landmarks failed to materialise and headed due West for the Pickering-Whitby road, which we reached half-a-mile too far South and an hour late.
,
We pitched camp at about 9-30 p.m. at Brocka Beck, on a sheltered plateau. The author produced a stew, and by 11-00 p.m. we were in bed after laying bets on whether search parties would be required for any of the Silver groups. After a comfortable and undisturbed night, we rose at 7-00 a.m. and breakfast was cooked. We left at 9-30 a.m., and after some essential provisioning in Goathland, reached the moor at about 10-45 a.m. To our considerable amazement we managed to navigate our way exactly through dense mist, thick heather and the odd bog, for some nine miles from Julian Park Farm, near Goathland, to Ralph Cross, above Rosedale and beyond into Westerdale, certain of the party acquiring numerous blisters in the process! We obtained permission to camp at Waites House Farm. Up again at seven the following morning, we set off at 9-15 a.m. and after consulting a rather more friendly farmer, whose cows, incidentally, produce first rate milk, we elected to change our route in view of the heavy mist and climbed, on a rather more southerly course than intended, out of Westerdale. We greeted our trusted friend the old railway at about 10-15 a.m., and strode tunefully along it through heavy rain, to Bloworth crossing, above Bransdale. Here we met a Silver group, consisting Of E. M. Holgate, G. W. Stewart and H. E. D. Little, and as our routes were the same decided to join them. Unfortunately, fate had another trick in store for us, for owing to the atrocious weather, we missed our turning up on Urra Moor and found ourselves ploughing through bogs and Bronze Age earthworks into Urra, a mile from Seave Green, our destination. We finally limped into Chop Gate, where we had decided to wait for the bus, at about 12-45 p.m., some 30 miles and 42 hours from Helwath Bridge. Our tribulations were not yet over, however, for after lunch, the party now increased by the arrival of another Silver group scattered itself throughout the village, looking for shelter from the cold east wind. The bus arrived at 2 p.m. and four people boarded it while a fifth went to collect the party. Unfortunately, the bus driver decided not to wait and condemned the rest 28
of us to another hour's wait. We finally got back to school at 4-30 p.m., tired, footsore and hungry, but having for the most part enjoyed ourselves. This weekend was exceptional only from the point of view of the weather, which was as bad for walking as any of the groups could remember it. Yet every group, thanks to its training, came through unscathed and within its schedule. The minor navigational errors which all groups experienced served only to show that it was possible to recover and reach destinations with only minor delays. By the time this article is published this training should have borne fruit in the Expedition and its results and many of those who took part will doubtless be well on the way to joining the select 9,000 who hold the Gold Award. It will not be easy, but we shall all have a very definite sense of having achieved something worthwhile and useful. R. W. J. Dingwall.
YOUNG FARMERS' CLUB Three visits were arranged for the Summer Term and each one took the form of a farm walk. On the 22nd May members of the club went to Mr. A. Hall's farms at Strensall. Altogether Mr. Hall has five farms and we were kindly taken round by Mr. G. Hall who showed us many of his father's stock and outlined the hire purchase system on which much of the family's dealing depends. Mrs. G. Hall very kindly provided tea for the club at the end of the meeting. The second visit was to Mr. J. Lister's farm near Boroughbridge. Once again the club travelled round the farm in the school minibus and we saw much of Mr. Lister's barley and potatoes. The main feature of this visit was Mr. Lister's pig-rearing unit where he breeds, rears and sells most of his pigs for bacon. Before departing we were given a delicious tea provided by Mrs. Lister. For the last visit of the term the club went to Mr. J. L. Fridlington's farms at Sutton-on-Forest. Items of particular interest were Mr. Fridlington's land reclamation scheme and his multiple calf-suckling units. We also saw much of his cultivated land, including crops of barley, sugar beet and potatoes. On Tuesday, 19th July, the Advisory Committee met and discussed ideas for meetings for the Christmas Term. Also on 16th July new members were elected on to the committee to replace those who were leaving R. A. Spilman was elected Chairman, D. M. Rawlings Vice-Chairman and other committee members elected were J. M. Lillie, R. P. Taylor, M. J. Gagg and R. I. Pigg. Finally Mr. Coulthard thanked those members who were leaving and C. J. Swiers in particular for his valuable service given to the club. T.H.V. 29
BRITISH SHIP ADOPTION SOCIETY The demand for ship links handled by the British Ship Adoption Society far exceeds the supply, and it was to be expected that the School would have to wait for a new ship. In an effort to avoid this we suggested that the Society should approach the master of the bulk-carrier M.V. "Buccleugh", operated by Hain Nourse, as we had been over the ship last autumn in the fitting-out basin of the Furness Shipbuilding Co. The Society at once took up the suggestion, and though a full "adoption" has not been possible, they have kindly kept us in touch, and the master, Capt. W. Alexander, has sent some very interesting material from Seven Islands and Sparrow Point. This fine new ship is a little under 40,000 tons, and is designed for speedy loading and discharge of bulk cargos. She was not affected by the seamen's strike, and during the term has made the following passages. Rotterdam to Seven Islands, Quebec in ballast. Seven Islands to Sparrow Point, Baltimore—iron ore. Baltimore to Norfolk, Va. in ballast. Norfolk to Zeebrugge—coal. At the time of writing she is on passage in ballast from Zeebrugge to Palua, on the Orinoco Estuary, to load iron ore from the Caroni River mining area, for Baltimore. This will be followed by a further cargo of coal from Norfolk to Zeebrugge. To the geographer these cargoes are full of interest.

The Easter Term had two meetings. The first was entitled "Colours after Dark" and "High Speed Ektachrome", both Kodak film strips on the use of colour film outdoors at night and indoors. The second meeting was a demonstration of various aspects of 8 mm. cine-photography, by Mr. Burbridge, on people and Mr. Craine on bird-life, using telephoto lenses, and by Mr. Riley on Natural History filming. The meeting was well attended and we thank the above masters for their interesting lectures. There was a visit at the beginning of the Summer Term to a photographic works in York. Twelve members of the Society attended and all 30
expressed keen interest in the colour and black and white processing systems. A new continuous colour processing apparatus was demonstrated. Over the year the Society has gained in the treasury, for the Christmas Term membership was a record. There were six meetings, five of them well attended. Darkroom use increased and several members are producing enlargements. The introduction of house representatives improved the efficiency of the Society and we thank them for their hard work. It is with regret that the Society bids farewell to Mr. Robinson, our President for so many years. All who have passed through the Society will remember how well he steered the latent interest of many boys into a fully productive photographic venture. R.T.J.
C.C.F. NOTES After fifteen years service in the Contingent, Captain Craven is retiring from it at the end of annual camp. In the general training, but particularly at Army camps, it is mathematically correct to number in hundreds the cadets who have learnt much from Captain Craven's ingenuity and inspiration, and from the exacting standards that he always expected. It should not pass without remark, the value a Contingent enjoys from an officer with war experience of a specialised kind; for Captain Craven operated with that select band in Burma, known as the Chindits. We thank him for his work with the C.C.F. Most of the term's training was directed towards the annual inspection, and much effort was rewarded with an outstanding report on the Contingent by the Inspecting Officer and his staff officers. All three Service Sections can take pride in the fact that they rate very high in regular Service opinion. At the end of term fifty-five cadets went off to camp at Cultybraggan, while many of the Royal Navy Section went to various courses. The Royal Air Force Section, of course, had its annual camp at Easter. The traditional C.C.F. contribution at Commemoration was the Band display, under Drum Major J. F. Brown, but this year the Royal Navy Section put on a splendid "public relations" programme in and around the Seamanship room. The East and West Ridings shoot was again won by a team which is, in effect, a third four, since the rules preclude Bisley competitors, and there have been many other shooting successes which are given in detail elsewhere. Sailing and boating have become popular parts of C.C.F. training and leisure activity, and there is now starting a scheme to enable C.C.F. members to compete for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award in the normal course of training. MAIN EVENTS OF THE TERM June 7th : March Past. The Salute was taken by Captain A. Craven, Training Officer of the Contingent. June 14th : Annual Inspection by Captain F. Watson, R.N., Commanding Officer, H.M.S. Ganges.
R.N. SECTION This term eight recruits joined the section, and during the term six of them passed the A.B. exam. This was the result of a great deal of voluntary effort for which they should be congratulated. L/Sea's. Harrison, Bird and Fairhurst passed Advanced Proficiency and A.Bs. Shannon, Pilling and Pettinger passed proficiency during the term. 31
In the summer holidays fourteen members of the section will be attending naval camps, which will include cruises, flying instruction and cliff assault. At the beginning of the term we were presented with a new sailing dingy, and although it has not yet been sailed, it has already proved valuable. We were also given a new mast which was painted and raised during the term. The rest of the term was concerned with preparation for the General Inspection, during which a jackstay was rigged across the River Ouse. During Commemoration the Seamanship Room was open to the public. A great deal of hard work was done in preparing the stores for this and for the General Inspection, for which all concerned should be congratulated.
R.J.H. NAVAL CAMP ON H.M.S. TORQUAY, 27th Aug. to 2nd Sept. Nine Naval Cadets boarded H.M.S. Torquay, a Whitby-class AntiSubmarine Frigate, at 17.45 hrs. on 27th August. We were placed in the after cadets messes, along with about thirty other cadets. Six of us had to sling hammocks; this proving difficult, but under the expert guidance of a Leading Seaman, all turned out well. We had a fitful night's sleep in Plymouth harbour, brought about by the incessant racket of the air-conditioning motors. We rose next morning at 6-30, as we did on most mornings, ate a good breakfast and had the morning on either H.M.S. Tiger or H.M.S. Bulwark. We set sail at 13.30 along with H.M.S. Eastbourne, Tenby and Scarborough. Sailing up the Irish Sea, the four watch parts had various duties to perform, all of which gave valuable instruction to us all. The first night at sea caused a certain amount of sea-sickness, but on Friday everybody had recovered for the rest of the cruise. We arrived at Loch Alsh at 08.00 on Saturday, there to remain until 18.00 on Sunday. During our stay we had a sailing regatta on an almost windless day, and a very exciting and tiring expedition over the surrounding glens. We had an uneventful return journey, save for a jack-stay transfer with H.M.S. Scarborough. During the whole cruise points had been awarded to each part of the watches for turnout, etc., and the competition finished with a written examination. The second of starboard won the competition (and a cake) by a very close margin from the first of port. Throughout the whole cruise the food had been excellent and the kindness of the crew to us "green" cadets had been astonishing, in particular that of the Leading Seaman in charge of our mess. I am sure that everyone really enjoyed this cruise, because of its good organisation and excellent team-spirit. L/S Harrison, R. L.
NAVAL COURSE IN H.M.S. FULMAR (Lossiemouth) H M S Fulmar is a land-base for the training of Fleet Air Arm Pilots. It is equipped with Buccaneers, Hunters, Sea Princes, helicopters along with falcons, to clear the runway of seagulls. Eighteen cadets were housed in an ancient but spacious hut, and they each had a flight in a Sea Prince and a "Chopper", the latter being quite an 32
experience. A large number of lectures had to be attended, as did P.T. each morning and games at night. Everyone enjoyed going to the modern and spacious Naafi. Trips round the hangars were organised and the cadets were expertly shown just what makes a Buccaneer fly, and how safety equipment is used.
ARMY CAMP, 1966 Cultybraggan Camp is in a broad, pleasant valley near Comrie, in Perthshire, and here over fifty cadets attended annual training from 25th July to 2nd August. The training was strenuous because of the nature of the training areas, but the splendid weather added to the enjoyment of all the outside activities. A very good demonstration of fire power was the only part of the programme which we did not arrange for ourselves. The only innovation in this year's training was the opportunity taken by a small party to undertake an expedition of the standard of the Duke of Edinburgh's Bronze Award. This party can now undertake the Silver standard expedition and, by reason of their qualifications through normal service in the C.C.F., would then be eligible for the Silver Award. An innovation provided by the camp authorities was a competition for the Commandant's Cup. This was entered by all the thirty-two Contingents attending the camp, and consisted of an exacting map-reading test, and an assault course, followed by a quarter mile run up-hill to the rifle range, where a shoot completed the competition. We carefully picked two teams, the latter one requiring a balance between good shooters and tough performers on the assault course. The competition had been going for about two weeks of the camping period when we took part, and our hopes were high when we found that we had ousted Edinburgh Academy from first place. One school remained for the following evening, St. Bees, and they won the competition with a clear margin. We congratulate them on bringing the Cup south of the border for the first time, and we felt some pride in achieving second place in this excellent competition. On Sunday morning, after a Church Parade in which the Band, under Drum Major Ogley, gave a fine lead, Captain Craven took the salute at a March Past, after which C.S.M. Evans made him a presentation as a tribute to his magnificent work as Training Officer. For the rest of Sunday we toured the 'Highlands as far as 'Blair Atholl, then returned for the night exercise, the last major activity of a very good camp.
R.A.F., SUMMER TERM, 1966 An influx of recruits brought the section up to 41, slightly above establishment. The N.C.Os. were Sgt. Oglesby, Cpl. Smith, C. J. A. and J./Cp1s. Willcock and Coke. During the term J./Cp1s. Willcock and Coke, and Cadets Pugh, Rutherford and Ferguson passed the Proficiency Examination. Air Experience Flying was not possible this summer because of the overhaul of Chipmunks and their transfer from Dishforth to Church Fenton. It is anticipated that this activity will be resumed in the Autumn and will be accompanied by Air Experience Gliding at R.A.F. Linton-onOuse. 33
SCOUT GROUP This term saw the publication of the radical proposals intended to modernize the Scout Movement. We have welcomed these proposals enthusiastically, and look forward to putting them into effect over the next few years. The proposals will produce marked changes in our uniform and in our methods of training, but probably one of the biggest changes will come about through the abolition of the Rover and Senior Scout sections and the formation of Venture Scouts. In the future, Scouts will remain in the Scout Troop until the age of sixteen and will then move on to the Venture Scout Troop where they will train for a much stiffer Queen's Scout award. As this can be gained up to the age of twenty, it will mean that many of our older members will not complete their training until after they have left school. At the same time our Scout Troop will inevitably be larger and most boys will remain in it for a maximum of three years. The changes will not be very sudden and, for a time at least, we expect that older members of the Group will continue to take out warrants as assistant scoutmasters. This enables them to put something back into the Scout Group, and means that full use can be made of our older members.
ROVER CREW This Crew was remarkable in that it was probably the last which will ever be formed in the School Scout Group. Its seven members have contributed greatly to the training of the Group as a whole and we are very gratdful to them for refencing the training compound by the scout room. The old fence had had to be moved when the first fifteen field was enlarged, but a newer and much more durable fence was constructed towards the end of term.
SENIOR SCOUT TROOP Another busy term saw the completion of a number of training courses, particularly for the Ambulance, Senior Pioneer and Rescuer badges and J. R. (Dizzy) Wood is to be particularly congratulated on gaining his Queen's Scout badge. A successful field day was held, the majority of the Senior Scouts going to Scarborough with Mr. Duncan to use the opportunity offered to train in whalers. This was a most successful outing and we are very grateful to Scarborough College for lending us the equipment and to Mr. Nightingale for arranging the programme for us. The rest of the Troop remained behind to help in preparations for refencing the training compound. No Senior Scout camp was possible this year, but many members of the Troop borrowed equipment and went off on their own expeditions. Three members of the Troop, P. R. H. Blackford, A. S. Medlycott and J. R. Wood, travelled to Abergavenny to assist Mr. Craine with the running of a very successful scout camp. We say farewell to a number of Senior Scouts, and we should particularly like to thank W. R. Pickersgill for all that he has done in arranging the year's programmes. 34
SCOUT CAMP, 1966 We arrived at camp to hear the tragic story of Mr. Craine's van. Having passed through four trains we travelled in a horse-box to the site where we settled down to pork pies and chips. The horse-box had been kindly lent by Major Whitehead, a local farmer and father of a Peterite. With relatively few mishaps camp was set up in sunny weather. WEDNESDAY, 27th JULY. This was the only completely dry day and was used, as usual, to make useful pieces of apparatus to add what possible comforts to camp life. It was on this day that the World Cup' started, an inter-patrol soccer competition. Each patrol played four games of six-a-side. This was difficult for Otters as there were only four members of this patrol. Throughout the time at camp soccer scored higher than such menial tasks as washing-up, something that somebody else will always do. THURSDAY, 28th JULY. The major part of this day was taken up with a visit to The Abergavenny Agricultural Show, where it proved that wearing shorts could get you in at half-price. We went to the show by coach, in a coach which only just fitted the width of the road. FRIDAY, 29th JULY. The day of the voluntary-if-willing-compulsory-if-not walk. 'We started up a steep path, having crossed a log bridge, from the Welsh to the English side of Grwyne Fawr, which had not, I'm sure, been used for some time. This path took a sharp turn and we climbed and then skirted the valley after the party had divided. The more adventurous reached a small stretch of forest and almost tumbled down to the valley below, losing one member of the party on the way. We surmounted the valley a short way and lightened the shoulders of the person carrying the lunch by eating sardines, only liked, for some reason, by only a few members, and "Ryvita" spread clumsily with hard butter. After this excellent meal topped with an orange and "pop", the party again divided. Some decided that the climb to our goal was too much for them and returned by way of the road to camp. The cream of the party ascended Pen y Gader-Fawr with great speed, now that the slower members had departed. Having met the wild wind and some members of a C.C.F. camp further up the valley we returned as fast, or even faster than before, and came down onto the road not far from the camp. SATURDAY, 30th JULY. Saturday was also marked by a walk. This was one of the series of nature trails dotted around the British Isles. The walk in the Mynyddle Forest was not altogether successful, as only two of the many members has covered more than a few hundred yards. We could not do anything out of camp in the afternoon as we were reminded by many transistors relaying the "World Cup" (proper) to our ears. There was great rejoicing at the result and this inspired Otters to win the "Mini World Cup" with Foxes second, despite their absent goalkeeper. Saturday also saw the departure of Mr. Allen, who left camp early in the morning to catch the train from Abergavenny, ten miles away. SUNDAY, 31st JULY. Traditionally a day of rest but against tradition we were not able to attend church because there was not one within easy reach. Some unfortunate members had the task of cooking a roast in an oven. One patrol had neglected to make an oven and so with the help of one of the 35
A.S.M.s they heated stones, with the aid of another patrols kindling, to red heat and put them in a pit with the roast and earth on top for four hours. Something must have gone wrong. The roast came out nearly the same as it had gone in. MONDAY, 1St AUGUST. Monday saw a trip round the district. Most of the scenery was the seat in front or drops of rain on the windows. We had a long stop, after a small meal in the coach, at Brecon. Then we went on touring round and when the sun came out we nearly got stuck in the mud at Llangorse lake, when most of us rowed, or tried to (the boats were not perfect). It was on the way back that one of the A.S.M.s asked for an item from each patrol to serve as entertainment for the camp fire. The camp fire went well with the leadership of the above mentioned A.S.M. and two guiding guitarists. The weather was fine with no rain except for one unfortunate A.S.M. who was watered by Otters. The other items served up were successful, although one patrol produced a very clever performance which relatively few, if any, understood. The day ended with a prayer as the moon shone high above in the sky. TUESDAY, 2nd AUGUST. The rain came, as always, on this the day of packing up. Nothing much could be done except hope for better weather. Some unwise members attempted a walk to the highest mountain in the district, but were fogged off and made a shorter journey and came back thoroughly wet and miserable. This was the day of suet pudding. One foolish character forgot to replenish the water in the billy and so Mr. Craine was greeted with, what he called, an undercooked pudding and a billy with no bottom. WEDNESDAY, 3rd AUGUST. The last day started at the unbelievable hour of half-past five. The last packing was done in showery weather and we left, after hot soup and cornflakes, by coach as the horse-box was not available. The camp was greatly enjoyed by all and our thanks go to Mr. Craine with help from Mr. Allen, Medlycott, Blackford and Dizzy Wood. I.D.C.S.
THE BOAT CLUB After the most successful Easter Term we have ever had, the Summer Term was a disappointment. Five cups were won this season, one in fact by each crew down to the 6th IV, but only the three lower N's won events in the Summer. One ought here to take into account that in May the personnel of every school crew was unfortunately affected by the fact that five of the best oarsmen were unable to row for the Summer Term. However, every crew achieved some success and was repeatedly stimulated by holding off the challenge of the next crew in the school hierarchy. The 1st VIII was fortunate in having two strong replacements in Budge and Medlycott, but having rowed mostly in Clinker N's they understandably took some time to adjust themselves to a Shell VIII. The first half of the season culminated in our attempt to win the Schools' VIII's Cup, at Chester, a highly prized trophy which we have so nearly won in the past. We are very grateful to York City R.C. for lending us their sectional Shell VIII, and this did much for the confidence of the crew. Here, as at Nottingham, however, we were beaten by a strong King's Chester crew. 36
The VIII then rowed as IV's for the remainder of the season, and divided easily into a Shell and Clinker IV. Just as the former possessed greater watermanship, the latter had more power, and it was obvious the difference in speed would eventually be little. In fact the 2nd IV could match the 1st in Clinkers, but though promising in practice they never raced well in a Shell IV, and their races at Durham and Leeds were not convincing. The 1st IV had an excellent day at Durham, winning three races and losing to the eventual winners in the semi-final. The season came to an end with a good row in the Final of the Junior-Senior VIIIs. at Leeds. The VIII owed a great deal to Hardman, who as captain, gave great determination to the crew. Hardman and Boyd have rowed in the 1st VIII for three years and have earned many successes for the School. Stephenson also made his mark on the 1st VIII and IV, and as stroke was something of a "find", for in January he was one of the junior members and had little experience of stroking. As an VIII, the crew had great potential, which had they had just a little longer together, would surely have been realised. The 3rd IV was young for a junior crew, and over the second half of the season was dogged with the ill-luck of racing in the same event as the 1st IV. The three ways of avoiding such "doubling" all have disadvantages, but some effort must be made to minimize its occurrence. They always held their own against the 4th IV, who were a tough and determined crew, and who won the maiden IVs. at Durham. The 5th IV won their event at Durham and at Leeds, having re-rowed the semi-final immediately before, they lost to the 6th IV in the Final of the Maiden IVs. The 6th IV varied considerably in practice, but here brought home the trophy usually won by our 3rd or 4th IVs. The 4th, 5th and 6th IVs. are all to be congratulated on their season. The Colts VIII was weakened by the injury of H. J. Robinson, but after being reshuffled they settled down well, and on the results of the Lancaster Colts Regatta could claim to be the third fastest Colts VIII in the North. A good Colts' IV went on to row at York Regatta. The racing of the VIIIs. in the School Regatta was the best for some years, and we are grateful for the part played by Mr. Dixon, who is free to coach in the Summer only. An innovation this year was the VIIIs. event between novice oarsmen racing at the end of their first term's boating, which took place as a curtain-raiser before the Commemoration Races. These crews were coached by Mr. Duncan, and it is evident that selection for the Colts VIII next year has greatly been facilitated. The House Races provided their usual excitement. The Queens and Dronfield Nails. appeared to be strongest, and it is to their credit that they proved so, but Grove are much to be congratulated on holding Dronfield to half a length. Queens improved their form over the weekend and in the Final beat Dronfield by two lengths, but it is fair to mention that for this race Dronfield had lost a 1st VIII Colour through illness. The House IVs. varied less in standard this year and after some close races School House beat Queens in the Final. The season concluded with some enjoyable O.P. races at Commemoration.

RUGGER OLD PETERITE MATCH—SATURDAY, 10th DECEMBER, 1966. "The closing date for applications to play in the above match is the 23rd November, 1966. When applying, please state fully, name, house, years at school and details of playing experience, position etc. It is hoped that as many recent school leavers as possible will apply so as to prevent the game from becoming an 'old crocks' match. Applications should be sent to Bill Thompson, The Flat, Meed House, North Road, Retford, Notts". 40
SHOOTING The Rifle Club this term has numbered 24, made up of a number of experienced shots, a few in their second year, and eight beginners. For one reason and another there have been a number of casualties among the second and third year members, and this has created something of a gap. The season started in good form, with the anticipated VIII making some good scores, while our ventures into S.Ra. (C.C.F.) shooting proved successful. The result was that by early June, when the Rifle Meetings available to us are complete, we had won six trophies. A period of practice followed, with a good deal of attention to snap-shooting and the new style Marling. Then came the internal competitions for the Donegal Badge and Green Howard Cup, and finally preparations for Bisley. At Bisley our practice scores on the Monday were poor, except at snapshooting, where they were remarkably good. Tuesday, the day for all team matches, was a quite exceptionally wet day. Our "wet weather drill" stood up to the strain quite well, and only two poor scores were recorded. But the Snap and Marling competitions, from which we had hoped much, were cancelled. For the first time a team was entered for the Public Schools' Veterans, and it was about fortieth. A team turned up for the Ashburton Supporters on the last Tuesday, again the first time we had made an entry, but this was one of the events cancelled, and our sympathy goes to those who had come a long distance to shoot in it. We must hope it will be possible to enter teams for both events again next year. The summary of results is as follows, the numbers in brackets being the number of entries in each case. Yorkshire

Morris also represented the School in this category. Others who shot for the School in various events were: J. C. Dent, C. J. Sinclair, A. G. Bird, S. Mackinder, J. M. Grayson, I. D. C. Piling.
TENNIS, 1966 At the start of the season four of last year's team, Baxter (Captain), Pawson, Pickersgill and Peacock were left and the remaining two places were filled by Wood, J. R. and Bennett. To give other boys match experience the policy was not to play the same VI in every match but to rest one or two of the first VI in most matches and replace by members of the second VI, for which it was only posible to organise two fixtures. In addition to Baxter, who had played full-time tennis last year, three other boys, Pawson, Peacock and Wood, J. R., also made tennis their major Summer Term activity. It was not found possible to organise any Under XVI or XV fixtures this term but there are several promising and keen juniors.

SWIMMING This year it has been possible to swim during all three terms and as was expected there has been a tremendous improvement in the standard of swimming. All boys under fifteen took part in a Swimming Standards Competition and in this age group a large number of boys were competent performers in the four major swimming strokes. Only one boy in the School has now to complete the one length test. Members of the Boat Club have to complete a nine lengths test and all boys are encouraged to make eighteen their target.

Boys, masters, old boys and parents who have used the new bath are very aware of the excellent conditions we now have for swimming. We are most grateful to Mr. J. S. Andrews, whose care, skill and constant attention keep the water in our pool clear and attractive, and more important still, clean and safe to use.

Ist. XI. CRICKET 1966 School Matches—Played 10, Won 6, Drawn 3, Abandoned 1
CRICKET, 1966 RETROSPECT We can look back on this season with considerable satisfaction and pride that the School's reputation for cricket has been well upheld. The loss of the four leading batsmen from the 1965 team might well have left a chink in the armour of the 1st XI, but so well did the remaining colours accept fresh responsibility and last year's Colts upgrade themselves, that the batting was soon capable of meeting all its demands. The team, under Pickersgill's leadership, was essentially a happy one, adopted a splendid approach to the game, and fully merited their unbeaten record in inter-school games. Nothing more convincing than wins against Worksop, Giggleswick, Sedbergh, Ampleforth, Bootham and Loretto could have been achieved. The Leeds match was ruined by rain, and neither of our opponents in the drawn games against Denstone and Bradford could claim moral victories by any stretch of imagination. The centenary match with Durham (abandoned without a ball being bowled) was a bitter disappointment. The stage was all set for the occasion which marked 100 years of cricket rivalry, but the rain came tumbling down and the only rivalry that could be pursued uninterruptedly was between the respective Boat Clubs. Appropriately enough the only part of the programme which the cricketers saw fit not to cancel was the "Dinner"—a sumptuous repast at Which we were happy to entertain our guests from Durham. The menu cards provided the assembly with all statistical information, such as—matches played 109, won by Durham 52, won by St. Peter's 41, matches drawn 14 and abandoned 2. It was confidently assumed that an extension of the rivalry over the next 20 years would at least put this balance of results to right ! Many other features contributed to the success of the season. The first win was recorded against Sedbergh and, besides their other victories against schools, the 1st X1 won 4 of their club fixtures. This is no mean feat these days, when clubs visit us with strong sides, intent on maintaining their reputations. Let it not be forgotten also that the M.C.C. scraped home by 1 run. These successes were very much the result of team effort. Batting honours were widely spread, and the fielding, upon which bowlers depend so much, and of which a high standard is always expected, improved immeasurably. It is perhaps invidious to single out individuals, nevertheless, Roebuck's 96 v. Worksop and his hat-trick (some hat-trick !) v. Ampleforth, are worthy of note. Pickersgill once again captured the greatest number of wickets (39), thus bringing his own individual tally up to 150 wickets for the 1st XI over the past 4 seasons (5 matches only in 1963). The support given by Dickinson and his 38 wickets in his first season was also a fine effort. Rawlings achieved the highest aggregate of runs, and Harding topped the batting averages as well as winning the fielding cup. Vooght and Waller were seldom out of the 'picture, in fact all players had their moments. All in all a fine effort, which now enables the School to claim that it has only lost 7 inter-school matches in the last 10 years. Elsewhere the game was played with all its varying degrees of proficiency, sometimes exercising the minds of inefficient scorers, at other times posing problems to well-intentioned umpires. The 3rd XI were more firmly established as an official team with 3 fixtures. They certainly were not deprived of their excitement when playing a 35 over match against a side from Heworth C.C. which resulted in a tie. The Colts team might 47
well have been an unbeaten side once again but for circumstances beyond our control. House matches held in store their surprises, but there was little doubting the merit of the Rise win in the Senior competition, and Temple, by winning the Junior competition, established a record surpassing the memory of even their Housemaster! Finally the Rise won the Yeomans Cup with a 5.06 runs per over average, when playing the Grove in the semi-finals, and Temple won yet another cricket cup, "The Burton Cup", for Senior House Leagues. Our thanks to Mr. Curry and Mr. Johnston, each in their respective spheres, for all their painstaking help. We face the future with confidence. 2nd XI 1st XI *J. R. W. Thirlwell (Capt.) -1-*W. R.

This match, with its close finish, fully lived up to its reputation of recent years as being one of the best of the season. For the third successive time Pickersgill put his opponents in to bat after winning the toss, knowing full well the trust that can be placed on the Worksop wicket. Furthermore the School had to overcome a last minute switch in the constitution of their team, on learning at the last minute of the fracture to Richardson's finger. Vooght deputised as wicketkeeper and Waller brought added strength to the bowling line-up. The Worksop innings lasted 31 hours, no easy assignment for the School's bowling resources, but they were equal to the task. The feature of the •chool's innings was undoubtedly Roebuck's highly competent match winning innings of 96. With only 2 boundaries to his credit, this was a considerable feat of endurance, and could only have been achieved by the exploitation of his remarkable judgement of the quick single. When 4 short of his century, and 2 short of Worksop's total, Roebuck's stamina ran out, so it was left to Dickinson to score the winning hit on the 2nd ball of the last over, of an innings lasting 2 hours 25 minutes.

Sent in to bat, more for psychological reasons than climatic conditions, Giggleswick were always struggling against the pace bowling of Pickersgill and Dew, but it was to Dickinson's bowling that the Giggleswick innings initially floundered. Both Wilcock (24) and Kilburn (23) resisted stoutly, but the School fielding was tight and Giggleswick received no respite. Vooght's wicket-keeping, deputising for the injured Richardson, proved once again his versatility, while Pickersgill came in at the kill to polish off the innings for 67 runs. This total was hardly enough to encourage the Giggleswick opening bowlers, in spite of their initial success in dismissing Abel cheaply. Again Roebuck proved to be the man in form, and in a little over an hour the job was completed and victory gained by 6 wickets. ST. PETER'S v. SEDBERGH. Played away on Saturday, 28th May.

With both opening batsmen dismissed in the first over, this was inevitably a "backs to the wall" innings. A glorious summers day greeted us at Sedbergh, but the spongy nature of the wicket was very indicative of the quantity of rain that had fallen quite recently. The innings was an uphill struggle and there was little glimmer of a recovery until the skipper's innings, after the fall of the seventh wicket. Batsmen continued to play their shots, and on reflection this alone had a telling effect. Dismissed by lunch-time in little under two hours was not encouraging, but all was not lost. Sedbergh's innings started equally disastrously, and resistance was finally broken down by the good support bowling of Waller, Dickinson and Lancaster. The tea interval provided a welcome break to our flagging spirits in the face of Sedbergh's dour defence, and the innings folded up shortly afterwards. First recorded victory over Sedbergh. 52

Playing without the services of both Roebuck and Richardson, this was a crucial test for the School, but almost throughout the game we dominated the play. The two 1st innings were in marked contrast to each other, ours collapsing disappointingly after being 150 for 4, whereas Denstone's recovered after 107 for 6. Honours about even on the 1st innings. Noteworthy innings by Rawlings and Harding, as well as by Short for Denstone. 53
Some fine attacking cricket was played by the School in the second innings, notably by Vooght, which enabled us to declare before lunch on the 2nd day, thus exceeding all expectations. Denstone never seriously faced up to the challenge set by the declaration after the dismissal of Short. The School's endeavours were clearly thwarted by a technically very sound innings of 91 by Turnbull for Denstone and an unbroken eighth wicket partnership of 74 runs. The School could hardly be blamed, their two innings had lasted a mere 4i hours as compared to Denstone's of six hours. ST. PETER'S v. XL CLUB. Played at home on 8th June. Result: Lost by 7 wickets. St. Peter's 132. (J. J. Vooght 32, M. Crawford 4 for 51); XL Club 134 for 3 wickets (W. Watson 72 not out). H. MacKilvenny, by stumping 7 of the'School batsmen, must surely have established some sort of record, at the same time as exposing a technical fault in our batting technique. ST. PETER'S v.

Many contributory factors led towards this splendid win for the School. The age old adage that catches win matches was certainly one. Ampleforth appeared to be heading for a good total, passing the 100 mark for the loss of only 3 wickets. It was then that the first of their two leading batsmen, Tufnell and Henry, were run out. Later, with the score standing at 148 for 6, Ampleforth were dismissed without further addition, Roebuck performing the hat-trick in his first over, aided by 3 superb 54
catches, 2 by Vooght and 1 by Lancaster. From the bowling point of view this was a monstrous hat-trick, for the over abounded in long-hops and full tosses. About a run a minute was all that was required of the School's batting, but when heavy rain intervened, the chase was really on, when play was resumed. Waller, Rawlings and Richardson all batted well, but it was Harding's innings above all which tipped the balance in the School's favour. Some glorious strokes left the Ampleforth fielders stranded. 31 runs came from his bat alone in 23 minutes, and victory was won with 2 minutes to spare. ST. PETER'S v. M.C.C.

An uninspired match. Bradford seemed content to bat all day—they were in fact all out after 31 hours. After loosing seven wickets for 100 runs, they did in fact make a brave recovery with the eighth wicket partnership. Dickinson captured five wickets for the first time in his career, and Roebuck once again mopped up the tail-enders. 55
As a result we were left with 2* hours in which to bat. 'Rawlings seemed in devastating form (33 in 26 minutes), but the loss of two quick wickets after tea, bringing the score to 84 for five wickets, meant that caution had to be exercised. Bradford then bowled steadily and fielded well, and Vooght and Morris played correctly and safely until the close of play. ST. PETER'S v. LEEDS G.S. Played at Leeds on 25th June. Result: Drawn. ST.

School bowlers only took command on the dismissal of Leeds G.S. star batsmen A. J. Dalton. Dickinson, for the second successive match, once again took five wickets. When rain intervened at 3-30 p.m. and brought play to an end for the day, the game hung in the balance, although one felt that the School's main task in dismissing Leeds had been successfully accomplished.

The Bootham innings in the main was a long, up-hill struggle, but staged a partial recovery after the fall of the sixth wicket. Fisher, in claiming three wickets, bowled as well as anyone. In reply our innings seemed secure enough, especially since the second wicket did not fall until 71 runs were on the board. Roebuck's undefeated half-century was far from a classic, but turning the ball on the soft wicket presented its difficulties. 57

This match aroused considerable interest, not only because Loretto were on tour and we were delighted to be able to welcome them, but also because they could claim an unbeaten record a fortnight prior to their visit. We have to claim that we won this match in the most convincing manner, and seemed to have the edge on our opponents in all departments. Harding and Richardson's fourth wicket partnership of 123 runs thoroughly established the innings after a shaky start, and Loretto gained some cheap wickets as the moment for a declaration approached. G. Waters (59) rescued Loretto from near disaster as the middle batting collapsed to Fisher's off-spinners. The School's fielding was first-class and the end came with 25 minutes to spare. Thus the School's series of inter-school matches ended as convincingly as it had begun in mid-May. We were also well satisfied to learn that Loretto continued their tour by drawing very favourably with Rossall and then by defeating Sedbergh. 58

The School were quite undaunted by their inability with the ball to make any impression on the O.P. batting array. They had confidence both in themselves and the plumb wicket. John Shouksmith, ably supported by David Beachell, scored a maiden century, while, Morris at long last, knocked up for the School the sort of innings we had been waiting for so patiently. Keith Ratcliffe's second declaration left the School with the need to score at the rate of 90 runs in the hour. Two handsome knocks by Rawlings and Harding steered the School safely to victory, with three minutes to spare. 850 runs in 10 hours was testimony enough of the entertainment value. 59
WALKING CLUB NOTES In the course of this term's fifteen walks, we have come to learn that the formula for success is a small, compact group. Despite inevitable complaints, we have indulged in the delights of Yorkshire, from Ilkley Moor to Thixendale, from Kepwick to the banks of the Humber. We have even become experts in wall construction and tea-drinking! In addition we had three profitable voluntary walks. We must indeed thank Mr. Coulthard for his profound patience and vehicular talent, and Mr. Riley for helping us out on occasions. The climax of our perambulatory career was the completion of the Lyke Wake Walk in under 24 hours, including a night spent camping at Hamer House, where we were fortunately aided in our cooking by Mrs. Coulthard in the V.W. Those who took part were Evans (surely the veteran of the club), Plans, McKay, Gray, Les and Dingwall, and Slater and Skerrett (the secretary) who succumbed to the pioneering spirit. R.J.H.S.
