PETERITE. VoL. XI X.

JULY, 1906.

No. 176.

SCHOOL LETTER. FTER the many criticisms and cutting remarks on the last " Peterite," it is with some anxiety that the reception of this number is awaited. But let us remind our kind critics that the unfortunate Editors are not wholly to blame for the lack of material. Our earnest solicitations for some witty poem, or original tale, were absolutely ignored, with the result that the blame, as usual, falls on the long-suffering Editors. One cannot make bricks without straw, and if contributions are not forthcoming, as has been the case of late, we can only publish the bare facts of the term. The Cricket season, which is now over, has not proved as successful as we could have hoped, though Dame Fortune, as usual, has not been on our side ; but this is not intended to be a Cricket Retrospect. The Natural History Society had their usual day's outing, and from all accounts a very interesting time was spent in the vicinity of Goathland. St. Peter's Day was favoured by fine weather, and a large gathering of friends, among whom we were glad to see many Old Peterites, and especially we were pleased to welcome our late Headmaster, Mr. Handford. And now, before we conclude, it is with painful hearts that we bid farewell to all who are leaving, and trust that whether at college or elsewhere they will keep up the school's reputation and be successful in whatever profession they adopt. We have to deplore the loss of a greater number than usual, foremost amongst whom are E. C. Peters, F. G. Schroeder, and E. N. Greenhow, who have nobly upheld the school's reputation both in the school itself and in the field.
