THE SCHOOL LETTER. E are once more nearing the end of another school year, which, we hope, has been in every way a prosperous one. The First XI. has been fairly successful, as it haS won four matches and was unfortunate in drawing the second match with Bootham, when victory seemed within reach.

We congratulate Sullivan upon breaking the school batting record, which he made last year against Durham by making 137 not out in this match. The match against the Old Peterites, which should have been played on 25th and 26th of June, took place on the 26th and 28th of June instead. The school seemed unable to master the bowling of the Old Boys, who won by four wickets.

The Captain and Secretary deserve much praise for their keenness and energy, which has done so much to make the season a successful one. Sullivan's experience has proved invaluable to us, and we wish him every success in the future.

On St. Peter's Day (June 26th) the Archbishop of York honoured us by preaching the sermon in the Chapel, and it was so full that not only were the seats in the Chapel itself occupied, but also most of those in the vestry. The Chapel was artistically decorated by the Misses Owen and other ladies, and we are much indebted to them for lending this additional beauty to the service.

The Choir was very much augmented by Old Boys and Olavites, and Mr. Tendall took great trouble to make the music of the

350

COMMEMORATION DAY.

service in every way as beautiful as possible. There was an elaborate system of stewards and messengers, and the whole service was conducted without a hitch. The Archbishop was present at the lunch given by the Headmaster and Miss Owen, and made a short and very appropriate speech, which was enthusiastically applauded. We can certainly say it was one of the most successful Commemoration Days we have had.

We offer our hearty congratulations to J. H. B. Sullivan on obtaining a Choral Exhibition at Christ's College, Cambridge, and we hope that he will prove as useful to their choir as M. W. Peters has been.

Our garments for the " march past" in the Pageant have been much admired, and we want to show our appreciation of the trouble that has been spent over them by making our part of the performance a success. We are singing the school Carmen, written by the Bishop of Bristol. The music is composed

by Mr. Tendall, and is very highly appreciated throughout the School.

Mr. Walker has very kindly painted a splendid banner, and we think it very good of him to take so much trouble.

COMMEMORATION DAY. Taken from the Yorkshire Herald.

Commemoration Day was celebrated on Saturday, June 26th, and in accordance with ancient custom the occasion was marked by a gathering of old scholars and friends of the school. At 8 o'clock in the morning there was a celebration of Holy Communion in the School Chapel, the Rev. H. B. Greaves being the celebrant, assisted by the Headmaste. The commemoration service took place in the chapel at ► 1-45, and was attended by an exceptionally large number of Old Peterites and friends. The choir, pulpit and side windows of the chapel, were decorated with some beautiful flowers.

COMMEMORATION DAY.

351

The Archbishop of York was present, attended by the Bishop of Beverley, the Bishop of Hull, Canon Watson (Sub-Dean), Canon Argles, the Rev. W. Parker (Chaplain to the Archbishop), the Rev. A. W. Richards, the Rev. B. W. Wood, and the following Old Boys or Masters : Rev. H. Newman, Rev. E. Evers, Rev. W. 0. F. Campbell, Rev. A. M. Sullivan, and the Rev. H. B. Greaves. The Headmaster and the Rev. R. 0. Walker conducted the service, and the lessons were read by two head monitors, R. D. Foster and I. M. Smith.

The Choir, which was augmented by several Old Boys, as well as by some trebles from the Preparatory School, sang the anthem.

The Archbishop's memorable sermon has, by His Grace's consent, been printed separately in ex/enso, and copies are being sent out with this issue of the Peterite.

After luncheon, which was held this year in the Gymnasium, the Archbishop of York, in a short address to the boys, expressed the pleasure it gave him to visit the school, and in dealing with the belief of most boys that the school to which they belonged was the best school in the world, he said what really mattered was that the world should believe it too. There should be a continuous supply from the right kind of homes of boys who were to carry on the traditions of the school. That was where the present generation of boys came in, because each of them was an advertisement for the school, and so far as outward appearances were concerned they were a very flattering advertisement. It was most especially true in regard to a school like that, surrounded by competitors of a formidable kind in the newer type of commercial and technical school, and competition from the more modern schools further south, which attract the fancy of ambitious parents, like Eton, Harrow and Winchester—which he need not remind them were hopelessly junior schools—that it must always be put to it to maintain its place. They might have the best possible headmaster, the best possible staff, and the .best possible set of boys, but unless all these things were brought to the knowledge of interested persons it would not bring them much forward. Therefore he would like the boys to do three things : to d© everything they

CRICKET FIXTURES.

35 ,

could to maintain the credit of the school, to do everything they could to induce some other boys as excellent as themselves to come to the school, and, if they ever had the misfortune in the future to have boys of their own, to send them to the school. He wished happiness and prosperity to the masters and scholars of St. Peter's School.

Cheers were given by the boys for the Archbishop, the Bishops, the Dean, the Headmaster and Miss Owen, and the visitors.

In the match, though it drizzled for some time, we were able to play the whole afternoon. An account of it will be found elsewhere.

There was the usual Old Boys' Social in the Gymnasium at night, and a very pleasant evening was spent.

ROMANY C.C.

Played on June 5th, on our ground. The weather during the day was anything but promising, but at about 3 o'clock the rain stopped and a start was made. The school, batting first, started very badly, as Sullivan was bowled in the first over, and Lacy was out lbw when only four runs had been made. After this, however, Taylor and Peters made a stand, and by careful batting brought the score to 54. Everyone added a little to the score, and the innings closed for 116, which was not bad considering the state of the wicket.

Romany started badly, and only one of their side seemed at all at home. Foster bowled excellently for the school, and the fielding was quite good.

HYMER'S COLLEGE, HULL.

Played at Hull, on June 9th. Our opponents batted first, and stayed in for over four hours for 175 runs. Needless to say, the scoring was very slow. The school bowling, which at the start was not brilliant, became very weak indeed towards the end.

We did not start very well, but with a magnificent innings by Sullivan and useful scores by Peters, Taylor and Ferguson, the score stood at 13o for 5. Lawton then joined Sullivan, and the score was brought to 159, when the latter was dismissed by a smart catch at point. Wallace was out next bail, and it looked for a moment as if we should lose, but Mills stayed in, and close on time Lawton made the winning hit.

F. C. CROWTHER'S XI., JUNE 16TH, 1909.

The School won the toss and compiled the good score of 196.

Sullivan played very well, as also did Fernandes and Lacy. In fact, nearly everyone added something to the score, which was very satisfactory indeed.

Taylor and Foster opened the School attack, and very few of our opponents seemed to be able to master Taylor's bowling. He kept an excellent length, and in the end took 8 wickets for 3o runs.

The whole match reflected great credit on the team, the fielding especially being very good.

POCKLINGTON G.S.

Played on the school ground on June 19th. Pocklington batted first, and with 90 runs up for the loss of half their wickets, looked like making a big score. But after Williams was out none of the others, except Anson, were able to play Sullivan's bowling, and they were all out for 105.

Our start was not good, as Williams bowled Peters and Taylor in his first over. But after this, Sullivan and Ferguson made a

356

good stand, and Lacy played very well. Eventually we won by 5 wickets. The Pocklington bowling was splendid, and Williams, in particular, exceptionally so.

OLD PETERITES.

Unfortunately, the weather sadly interfered with this match, and the start had to be postponed from Friday till Saturday, and the game was concluded on Monday. Several of the Old Boys were unable to play on the Monday, but others took their places and so had an opportunity of showing that age had in no wad impaired their cricketing prowess. The School won the toss, and scored 105 in the first innings—a quite respectable score, considering the state of the \ ■ icket. Taylor played a bright and attractive innings, and Lacy showed good defence. The O. P.'s replied with 122, and would have cut a sorry figure but for the Rev. A. M. Sullivan, who

CRICKET.

scored 79 of that number ; four wickets were down for when he left the telegraph board showed 1 3 — 6-7 9 .

357 1 2,

and

The School second inning, was an inglorious display. It is true the wicket was bad, but Taylor and Lawton ran themselves out most ludicrously, and real bad batting was the cause of the dismissal of most of the others. The Old Boys scored the required number of runs for 6 wickets, but Sullivan bowled well, and had Greenhow been caught at the wicket before scoring and again at square-leg by Wood when 6, the School should have won.

The match was interesting for several reasons. Firstly, there were four pairs of brothers playing on their respective sides. Also we were glad to have such a grand display from A. M. Sullivan.

After Frank Mitchell. who was captain of Cambridge in 1894 and of the South Africans in the tour before last, he is the most famous cricketer we have produced. He was a member of the Sussex County Eleven, and holds the record average for College cricket at Cambridge University, viz., 600. He was captain of the Christ's Eleven, and his figures were-93, too, 76, 13o, too, to 1, and was only once out. We hope the younger brother will follow in his footsteps ; unfortunately, he was hardly fit to play in this match at all and so did not do himself justice.

BOOTHAM SCHOOL, JUNE 30TH, 1900.

Played on the School ground on June 3oth. We batted first and made a curious start. In the first over Sullivan hit 14. runs, but after that, three wickets fell in quick succession, and after ten minutes' play three wickets were down for 31. After this, however, Sullivan and Taylor made a prolonged stand. They both played excellent cricket, and Sullivan's innings was exceptionally good.

He scored at a great rate and completed his century in just under an hour and a half. His score of 137 beats the record which he set up last year. He hit 7 sixes and 17 fours.

Our opponents' second wicket caused a lot of trouble, mainly owing to the fact that Pearman was missed twice early on. Afterwards, he played splendidly, and was dismissed by a brilliant catch at mid-on after making 97. After he was out wickets fell fast, and the School had bad luck in not winning. Taylor again bowled very well, taking five wickets at a cost of seven runs each.

ST. PETER'S V. LEEDS G.S., JULY 3RD, 1909.

The School batted first and a fair start was made. Sullivan hit freely, and Wallace and Taylor both looked like making runs ; it was disappointing that they got out so soon. Ferguson did not stay long, but a stand was made for the fourth wicket, and the score reached 90 before Sullivan played into his wicket in attempting an off-drive. After this, there was a terrible collapse, and five wickets fell for as many runs. Wray and Foster each stayed in a little and helped to bring the score to 117.

Our opponents made a good start and the rate of scoring was very fast. The second wicket, especially, produced a long stand and a good many runs. The score stood at 94 for 3 and then three more wickets fell in quick succession, but still they passed , our score without losing any more wickets.

YORK -BANKS C.C.

The Banks batted first on a hard wicket and started badly. Four wickets were down for 5o, but the fifth produced a good stand, and the score was brought up to 103 before the wicket fell. After this, no one offered any resistance, and the side was out for 125.

The School innings was a very feeble display, and Sullivan's innings was the only bright spot in a very dismal collapse. To begin with, 4_ wickets were down for 20, and though Lacy helped Sullivan to bring the score to +o, no one after that stayed very long, and the innings closed for 92. Sullivan deserves every credit for his effort to ward off defeat, and had any of the team stayed in with him, the result would have been different.

Played at York, July loth. Durham won the toss and went in first on a slow wicket, which was drying fast.

Their first wicket

CRICKET.

361

fell at 3o, the batsman being out lbw. to Sullivan. After this a good stand by Fenwick and Cumberledge took the score to 92, when Fenwick was caught and bowled by Sullivan for a useful 42.

Cumberledge continued to bat confidently, and with A. Maynard as his partner took the score to 14.1, when Maynard was well bowled by Taylor. Cumberledge was next out being bowled by Foster. He had played very well for his 69. Nearly all the Durham batsmen contributed something to the score, which eventually reached 208 for 8 wickets, when they declared, leaving us an hour and three-quarters to bat.

Sullivan and Lacy opened the school innings, and with only I t on the board Lacy was caught. With the exception of Sullivan, no one seemed to settle down to the bowling, and three wickets were down for 61. Of the other batsmen Taylor and Mills were the only ones who made any resistance to the Durham bowling ; and the school innings closed for 8z.

A. Brown bowled extremely well for Durham taking eight wickets for 28 runs. Although the wicket was difficult and favoured the bowlers a good deal, nothing can justify the titter collapse of the school batting. The fielding was fairly safe, but lacked life, especially the throwing in.

CRICKET. ST. PETER'S V. YORKSHIRE GENTLEMEN.

Played on the Yorkshire Gentlemen's ground, Wednesday, July 14th. Sullivan won the toss and elected to bat on a hard, fast wicket. Sullivan and Peters opened the school innings. The start was disastrous, for with only one run scored Peters was very well caught in the slips off Ramsden's bowling. The next wicket After this Sullivan and Taylor made a good stand and fell at 25. took the score to 71, when Taylor was bowled by Crump for a good 25. Sullivan was next out. He had made 37 in faultless style.

Of the other batsmen, who mostly made a few runs, Fernandes made z8 not out. Our innings closed for 133.

Crump and Ramsden opened the Yorkshire Gentlemen's innings. They made a good stand of 63 runs. Foster broke the partnership by bowling Ramsden, who had made 41.

Crump was next out being bowled by Taylor. He just reached his halfcentury. The batsmen played steadily, and passed our total with five wickets in hand. The school batting was much better than in the last match, as was the bowling. The fielding was, with one or two exceptions, fairly good.

TO THE SCHOOL.

TO THE SCHOOL. Farewell When youth was in its prime, We left the inland glade and dell, And heard awhile in thy rough clime The raging swell.

We heard the mighty billows roar, And grew accustomed, taught by thee ; But now, our time of training o'er, We put to sea.

Farewell ! With tears we wring thy hand, We walk the deck, a little throng, We hear thee calling from the land, My sons, be strong" Be strong as I Remember how " Ye once derived your strength from Inc. " Be strong as I am strong ! for now " Ye put to sea."

Farewell! Thine outline fades away, And we are on the bounding main : And now, in fancy, each bright day Is lived again.

And we remember how we learned Of troubles, storms and wrecks, from thee.

Despite it, inwardly we burned To put to sea.

Farewell We leave thee far behind.

Look ! far ahead the rolling wave, Perchance a storm, a boisterous wind, A wat'ry grave.

But swift the vessel leaves its trail (The bark that we have made with thee), With straining sheet and flowing sail, We ride the sea.

Farewell ! The waves are raised on high.

Where nought but silvery calm had been, The billows leap to meet the sky, A dreadful scene.

Then huddled on the deck we stay, Our glorious hopes seem lost, and we Are gazing out in blank dismay Upon the sea.

CORRESPONDENCE.

367

When lo, our hearts return again, Our drooping hopes are raised at length, A vision rises on the main, And brings us strength.

Though leaden clouds obscure the sky, A shade arises from the sea, Reminding us of years gone by, The shade of thee.

V.

THE CHOIR. On Friday, July 9th, the Choir went their annual excursion up the River. The Headmaster had chartered the " River King " for our use, and a very enjoyable afternoon was spent. Besides the Choir there was quite a number of guests on board, which made the excursion all the more pleasant. We started in fine weather up stream, intending to reach Linton for tea. On the way we regaled ourselves by singing all the "classical" songs, and the time seemed to go far too fast. Just before reaching Linton Tea was announced, and a general move was made for the saloon.

Unfortunately it began to rain after tea, and so our usual visit to the falls was shortened; and we were lucky in having an awning over the boat which enabled us to keep on deck all the time going back.

The journey back was also enlivened by music, and the programme was concluded with the singing of Auld Lang Syne and the National Anthem. After this three hearty cheers were given for the Headmaster and Miss Owen for the splendid treat they had given us. .

CORRESPONDENCE. To the Editors of the Peterite.

GENTLEMEN,

The school has been given in the Pageant a scene to itself, and it is essential for our credit that it be well done ; but anyone, who has observed the way the rehearsals are going, will

368

CORRESPONDENCE.

be filled with grave misgivings. There is a want of life and animation, a neglect to create atmosphere, a complete absence of historical perspective.

At the very outset, the meeting of King Eadbert and Archbishop Ecgbert might be the everyday salutation of two twentieth century gentlemen. The seventh century came early in history, before man had learnt to restrain the expression of his emotions. Ecgbert must not wait till within easy speaking distance, bilt really HAIL the Archbishop from afar. The use of the word " Hail " implies obviously that this is the author's intention. Then the King is old and presumably deaf, and he will stamp the scene as life-like by listening in three wrong directions before he discovers the source of the salutation. What is wanted in this scene is action. The plain words could be spoken by anyone.

Let it be the part of St. Peter's School to give them adequate setting. The King says " I will build in Eoferwick a great temple of stone." He must suit the action to the word, and in imagination the spectators see the minster rise, tier on tier, from base to topmost tower. Then the Archbishop says " Ah, brother, truly thus should thanks be given for the goodness of God," and at the word " thus " he also repeats the mimic building of the King. It will be then clear that he understands and appreciates the pious and munificent purpose of his brother.

It must never be forgotten that language in its infancy, as the language of some contemporary African savages, is, of itself, inadequate to express thought, and that of necessity pantomime is called in to supplement it ; the language of the seventh century had not attained the strength and flexibility of the English of to-day. The picture of a Saxon King announcing his intention to build a vast cathedral, and while doing so standing like a stick stuck in the ground, is an offence to one's sense of what is historically right and proper.

A little jump is the least that can be required.

Take again the founding of the school. " I would gather them young and train them for the priesthood—found a school." " Found a school " is obviously a happy thought. The received

COkRESPONDtNCE.

369

manner of expressing a happy thought is a dig in the ribs. What a touch of nature for the King to dig the Archbishop in the ribs.

How it would bring home to the spectators the essential humanity of the great of the earth ! " Look at his eager face " cries the King, his glance arrested by the alert response of the young Alcuin's eye. But boys are ever slow to recognize intellectual greatness in their fellows, and to make the scene real the other acolytes will repress a smile. This might be indicated by doubling up the body, and covering the mouth with a hand, while administering sly kicks to each other.

The enumeration of the seven liberal arts affords room for dramatic treatment. The word .` grammar " is spoken softly as if telling a secret, but the voice rises in volume and pitch to " arithmetic," when the enthusiasm and excitement of the prospective scholars, awakened by the mention of grammar, find vent in wild waving of arms and joyous hurrahs, while the conclusion on geometry and astronomy leaves them open-mouthed and speechless with the intensity of their emotion.

Mr. Richards' pale and colourless representation of the part of a Saxon citizen can be referred to only with disappointment and pain. Would the sturdy Saxon knave stand still to be arrested ?

Not so. He would run off to left, pursued by the soldier. If when nearly caught he drops on his hands and knees, trips up the soldier and returns to centre, there would be fulfilled all the best conceptions of dramatic action. And then, if Smith would do the same on the right, and simultaneously, it would introduce a graceful balance and counterpoise insufficiently indicated in the .

original.

It is far from the intention of these short notes, which will be taken, without doubt, in the spirit in which they are offered, to impress on the actors any studied and trite rendering of what must be a triumph to the school. It is merely to indicate to them that with a little thought and imagination a larger ampler meaning can be found in the written words, and that the representation of that meaning should not be beyond their compassing.

Your obedient servant, U.R.
