SCHOOL LETTER. HE term which is now drawing to a close has in some ways been one of unusual interest. Events have occurred of great importance to the School about which we shall speak later. First we must regard matters of lighter consequence. The Football Fifteens have met w:th the customary successes, and defeats. At the time of writing the record shows that our wins are about equal with our losses. It must be admitted that some of the best exhibitions given by the first team have been against heavier and stronger opponents. In the club matches the School has given particularly creditable displays. Once more the charge of coaching the teams has been in the hands of Mr. Tendall. He has contributed very largely to any success we may have had. It would indeed be an " Annus Mirabilis " were the team to go through a season without a number of injuries necessitating at least temporary retirement from the game. This year has been no exception. Two of our best men have been " hors de combat" for some time past, and we have been seriously weakened by other misfortunes. It is pleasing to note that the re-established Natural History Society has opened with auspicious vigour. Lectures have already been delivered with success, and the Secretary informs us that the list of members is satisfactory as regards numbers. The School has contributed towards the Pickering Memorial Fund for the placing of a tablet to the memory of W. H. Pickering in the School Chapel.
