SCHOOL LETTER. ERHAPS our first duty in this term's School Letter should be to congratulate our Headmaster on his recovery from his illness.

Secondly, we extend to Mr. Nottingham our heartiest possible welcome.

Our third duty should be equally as pleasant as our two previous ones, but our feelings in performing it are not unmingled with regret. For we have to congratulate Mr. King on at last achieving his ambition, on obtaining his commission. This means that we have to congratulate him on leaving us which is a sad, sad thing to have to do. However, it has to be done and we -wish him all success in his new career.

To Mr. Reynolds we offer our condolences on being unable to re-enter the army. But at the same time we must congratulate him on receiving the Honorary Rank of 2nd Lieut., and also express our pleasure in having him back with us as a master.

The next subject to be discussed is of a more sordid character.

Many of our readers evinced some disappointment on receiving only one copy of " The Peterite " last term, while a few seem to be expecting two editions this term. The Editors quite realize that it is their bounden duty to produce two editions during the Easter and Summer Terms, but—we must remind our readers that there is a war on. This may come as rather a shock to some people. We are sorry, and we would not mention it, were it not for the fact that it is the underlying cause of our troubles. To the more serious-minded of our community it

166

SCHOOL LETTER.

must be obvious that the present price of paper and difficulties of printing prohibit more than one edition per term, and this edition must not be of an abnormal size. For the same reasons we must forego team photographs, or any other illustrations.

Perhaps this is a fitting place in which to apologise for the late appearance of last term's edition. It occasioned us a great deal of anxiety and grief, indeed, the Editors were only saved from nervous breakdowns by the proximity of the holidays. But, dear readers all, it was really not our fault.

Once more we have passed through the Government Inspection of the O.T.C. unscathed, and with colours flying. A full account is given elsewhere and here we need only mention that it was the most successful inspection we have had since the Corps started.

All our efforts are now directed towards the O.T.C. Camp, which is again being held at Huby. This year we fear the numbers will be slightly less than last, but we hope that all Schools concerned will make the utmost efforts to send every available man.

The Cricket Team has been very successful this season, the quality of the play being far in advance of that displayed last year, although the team is almost the same. The improvement is most noticeable in the batting which, in a few cases has reached a high standard this season. We congratulate H. L. B. Bryning and his team on their success.

The interest in Boating last term was greatly stimulated by the inter-house races, which proved a great success. As mentioned elsewhere, a very good performance was put up on the one occasion on which a School crew was required. For this our congratulations are due to H. L. Walker, Captain of Boats.

It will be noticed that we have managed to secure a Cambridge Letter for this issue—a feature which has been lacking from our pages for some time owing to the absence of Old Peterites.

We have made a mental note of the remark of the authors of this letter re the Classics. But, of course, as they suggested, we know best.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

I67

In conclusion we congratulate on their patriotism those who are giving up part of their summer holidays in order to help with the harvest.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER. DEAR EDITORS, It has occurred to us that the fact that there are still two O.P.'s resident in Cambridge at such a time as this is of sufficient interest to merit a small letter.

First let us congratulate Hussey on his Organist's post at Christ's. Since his migration from Selwyn, which he vividly portrayed to us as that red-brick hostel," he has certainly found life up here more interesting. We do not associate ourselves with the afore-mentioned libel on so excellent a "college," but Offer no objection to its publication. Hussey is, moreover, a most active member of the C.U. Musical Society, and also shows much enthusiasm in organising college concerts at Christ's, a feature of which is the Christ's College " Tin Band."

Reynolds has returned to us for this term after over two years absence in the army and elsewhere. Peterhouse, like most of the other Colleges, affords a billet for a whole company of cadets, but naturally he feels quite at home amongst them. When not employed in concentrating his thoughts upon exams, his valuable time has been largely devoted to tennis and the river—and all things appertaining thereto.

By the end of the term both of your representatives up here will be fully fledged B.A.'s, and so we would urge you to accept this our contribution because it may be months and months before you get another. We wish that nova copic e " were forthcoming in plenty to take the place of these few survivors of what was once a goodly band of 0.P.'s. But " .jempora mulantur " and we hold that the scarcity of men up here is to the honour of the School in these times. Remembering how

fond we were of Latin tags during the Editorship of one of us, we simply could not resist the temptation to indulge in our former habit. We notice a tendency amongst the present Editors to eschew the Classics in their sparkling School Letters.

Perhaps they know best !

Yours, etc., H.E.K.R. H.W.H. 12th June, 1917.

HOCKEY RETROSPECT AND CHARACTERS, 1917.

We had every reason to be angry with Germany last hockey season. The hockey probably reached a higher level than it has ever done before and owing to the war there were no matches against other schools. In the matches played the school had an unbeaten record and they could undoubtedly have given an excellent account of themselves against any school team. The backs were the strongest part of the team, while with Chilman having regained his previous form the half-backs took a lot of beating. The forwards were a bustling line, but they needed more cohesion to be first-class. A word of praise must be bestowed on the Second XI., which with a little assistance could at any rate make the XI. play their hardest to win.

W. G. YEOMAN-An energetic captain and a hustling centreforward.

M. R. JoNEs—Forward : a much improved player.

K. G. CHILMAN-Half-back ; a first-rate wing half : good in offence and defence.

T. F. WRIGHT—Forward : a brilliant shot and the best forward in the team, but inclined to stick to the ball too long and cramp his wing.

B. D. TOYNE-Back : might well be seen in some county team : thorough knowledge of the game.

R. R. RAINFORD-Goal : a plucky goal-keeper, who stopped some miraculous shots with any part of his body, which came most handy.

BOATING.

169

B. CRowTHER—Back : sound back with pace.

H. L. BRYNING—Forward : a hard-working forward : he was best in the centre, but for the sake of the team had to play left outside.

E. K. WOOD-Forward : a dashing wing with pace : at present he is too free with his stick and is consequently penalised too much.

A. ELLIOTT SMITH-Half-back : never forgets his forwards, and most unselfish W. L. ROBERTS-Half-back : a robust and burly player : he should improve his stick play, if he is going to feed his forwards.

BOATING. The Boating has been distinctly successful this term. Great keenness has been shewn by all and Walker is to be congratulated on the high standard of rowing which has been reached. The House Races have been invaluable in training crews outside the first boat and several very likely watermen have been discovered. Newhouse, who stroked the Grove boat with " guts," will be a very valuable oar next year, as will also Crawshaw, Hardcastle, Watson, and Johnston ; a description of the races will be found elsewhere, but we should like to say here that they were a fine exhibition of plucky rowing and were keenly contested throughout.

After many unsuccessful efforts the boats have been made watertight and the tubs have been out in all weathers. Several new oars have shewn great improvement, considering that it is their first term, especially Z. Wood and Masterman.

The First Boat has been together only for a short time, owing to the House races ; but it has worked hard and its performance on the day of the race was very creditable against a heavier and more experienced, crew.

There is however, a tendency to begin work in the middle of the stroke owing to an absence of leg drive at the beginning.

The crew is well together and this was the reason for the success

170

BOATING.

in the race. But it must be remembered that it is impossible for a stroke to pick it up unless his men behind him held. " Row as if every stroke was your last," is a fine old rowing maxim ; but don't forget that in an evenly contested race the crew with the power of finishing well, will always win.

CHARACTERS. H. L. WALKER. Stroke. Has the making of a very fine oar.

His style is good but he is at present inclined to dig when rowing a fast stroke. He has kept the crew together and as a captain has been excellent.

G. ENGLISH. 3. Has improved out of all knowledge this H. term. He is a strong hardworking oar, with not much style but he is an invaluable acquisition to the boat. He sometimes forgets to swing.

H. F. S. GEDGE. 2. Is perhaps better rowing stroke, as he has any amount of grit and perseverance. He tends to swing out of the boat and sometimes forgets to drop his hands at the end of the stroke, thus causing a dirty finish. However, he always sends down a good puddle.

E. W. HARLAND. Bow. Forgets to swing when he becomes tired and does not use his legs to their full advantage. He has got good body action, and has improved considerably lately. He is quite a strong oar.

T. W. DONKING. Cox. Gained for his boat half a length by an excellent corner, but at the Scarborough Bridge he came too far across and got into dirty water. In a race he must remember that he is in loco parentis and encourage and chide, to the full extent of his lungs as circumstances demand.

HOUSE RACES. On Wednesday, March 21st, the Dayboys rowed Clifton Grove. The current was moderately strong and the Dayboys winning the toss, took the far side of the river. The Grove boat got a better start than the Dayboys and got a lead which they kept till Scarborough Bridge. Here they got into dead water and the Dayboys passed them. The Dayboys after a bad start

171

picked up and when they had got the lead (Gott strafe.—Ed.) managed to keep it, although Clifton Grove picked up considerably. The latter, however, mistook Lendal Bridge for the winning post and stopped rowing there and thus lost by halfa-length.

On Friday, March 23rd, the House IV. rowed Clifton Grove.

The river was very low and the current weak. The House won the toss but gave the choice of sides to Clifton Grove, who took the far side. The House made a better start than the Grove and by Scarborough Bridge had gained two lengths. Here the House crossed over and took the far side of Scarborough Bridge, but as the Grove began to gain, crossed back again on the other side of the bridge. The Grove then picked it up well and were gaining when they had the misfortune to catch a crab, right at the end of the course. They managed to recover but lost the race by four lengths.

On Saturday, March 24th, the Final was rowed between the House and the Dayboys. On this occasion the current was stronger. The Dayboys won the toss and elected to row on the far side of the river. The start was very even, the House getting slightly the better start ; the race continued to be very equal right up to York City Boathouse, where the House boat began to get away. Between Scarborough and Lendal Bridges, the House picked up the stroke and increased the distance between the boats. The Dayboys made strenuous efforts to gain, but the House won by two and a half lengths.

The crews were :HOUSE :—Bow, H. G. Crawshaw ; 2, E. W. Harland ; 3, H. G. English ; Stroke, H. L. Walker ; Cox, T. W. Donking.

DAYBOYS :—Bow, H. Tomlinson ; 2, W. MacFarlane ; 3, W. Hardcastle ; Stroke, H. S. F. Gedge ; Cox, W. Cassels.

CLIFTON GROVE :—Bow, J. G. Johnston ; 2, W. H. Masterman ; 3, T. Watson ; Stroke, C. T. Newhouse ; Cox, C. E. Birks.

COMMEMORATION DAY.

COMMEMORATION DAY. (Taken from the Yorkshire Herald).

In the morning the usual Commemoration Service was held, after which prizes were distributed by the Dean of York.

At the Commemoration Service the Lesson was read by the Headmaster, and the Rev. F. H. Barnby intoned the prayers.

The Sermon was preached by the Bishop of Hull. He said they could in* imagination sympathise with the ancient founder of St. Peter's School, Egbert, when in the first half of the eighth century the call came to him to become Bishop of the Diocese of York and later on to become Metropolitan of the North. The whole Diocese was full of disorder, corruption, and luxury, and was in need of the most vigorous and searching reform. It was no light task that lay before him. He gathered round him the young manhood of the country, bringing them under the personal influence of his own refined, artistic temperament, and imbuing them with his own love of the best things in thought and literature and helping them to appreciate the perfect inspiration of the highest knowledge of all. There was no wonder that the historians, in recording his wonderful life, one and all dwelt with special emphasis on his work in founding that school as one of his greatest contributions to the life of the church of the nation They could thank God that there still endured St. Peter's School with all that it stood for, the principles and ideals it still upholds and vindicates, that ancient venture of faith in the reforming, regenerating influence conceived and begun for the refinement and purifying of the whole man, not merely for the personal selfish advantage of the individual, but rather with a view to equipping men for a life of service, to make their own contribution towards meeting the needs of their generation. That surely was the privilege and the responsibility of our English public school life. But 'they ought not to simply grasp their privileges with a selfish satisfaction or with complacent assurance that they were in any sense the natural and normal prerogatives of the class of society into which they happened to have been born.

Privileges carried with them always their accompanying responsibilities, which must be gladly undertaken if those privileges

COMMEMORATION DAY.

173

were to prove a blessing and not a snare. His lordship remembered well years ago talking to one of the Labour leaders in East London who had just been up to Cambridge spending a week with one of the undergraduates. He had been deeply interested in all he had seen, both of the serious and the lighter side of the life there, and he turned to the Bishop and said, " My word, what a chance the young men of your class have ! What would I not have given for a bit of it ? I wonder whether you really appreciate it." His lordship felt a sense of shame, for he was bound to confess in those early days that he had rejoiced in all those privileges without much troubling about the responsibilities involved in being selected to enjoy them. Well might they thank God for the chances that had come their way for developing to the full the capacities in their life in body and mind and spirit, and well might they seek to use those chances to the full. But let them eliminate all things that spoke of selfish interest, and keep their ears open to the call of country and of Church in this critical time of the nation's history. It was a time when men of education, refinement, and spirituality should be found willing to share their spiritual and mental attainments with others not so readily endowed, and to find their highest and best life in consecrating themselves to the betterment of the lives of others. That, surely, was the spirit of our university extension schemes and our public school missions in many crowded towns. That, surely, was the spirit of him who founded St. Peter's School 1185 years ago, and the spirit of the great Master and Teacher who came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life as a ransom for many. With such a spirit we might yet save England and help her to fulfil her mission in the light of the history of the world.

After the Commemoration Service the pupils and their parents assembled in the Great Hall of the School for the distribution of the certificates, which were this year awarded in place of the usual prizes. The certificates were distributed by the Dean of York (Dr. Foxley Norris), who was accompanied on the platform by the Bishop of Hull, the Bishop of Beverley, the Rev. Canon Argles, the Rev. T. E. B. Guy, Mr. E. R. Dodsworth, Mr. G. Yeld, and Major S. M. Toyne (Headmaster).

COMMEMORATION DAY. BRIGHTER PROSPECTS FOR EDUCATION.

Major S. M. TOYNE, in his annual review of the work of the School, said that few had experienced twelve months of such varied emotions, triumphs, and sorrows rudely intermingled as had been the case during the past year. Few would remember a Commemoration Day at which they did not hear kindly words of shrewd counsel from the lips of that pattern of a courteous English gentleman, the late Dean. Yet the School was indeed lucky in having as its new chairman Dean Norris, a man who had had much to do with matters educational, and had already shown a keen interest in the welfare of St. Peter's School. Last year he ventured to remark that it was an extraordinary thing that it had needed a great catastrophe like the present war to bring home to the English people the need for an improved national edutation. Now, under the new Minister of Education, the outlook was indeed bright. The main lines on which the improvements should move were, firstly, a general education up to the age of 16 for every boy in the country—not merely for a privileged few. The need for an adequate education was brought home more and more each day, and a striking example of this was afforded in the training which was now being given to the new battalions of 18 year old youths—a training which included so many hours for education, so many hours for games, and so many hours for military instruction each day. It was a most extraordinary confession for the War Office to make of the value of education. Secondly there was needed a co-ordination of examining bodies to rid them of the complexity of parallel through dissimilar examinations and the multiplicity of elementary examinations for children under 16 years of age. The only object of this system seemed to be the production of a fictitious list of successes to confuse the general public who were ignorant of their worthlessness, and secondly to confine the curriculum of schools to mark securing subjects. The third main line of advance reflected great credit on the public schools, because it clearly recognised the value of the character-building side of these great institutions, and it recommended an advance of all schools on the lines of the public schools. This would have been

COMMEMORATION DAY.

175

deemed impossible four years ago, when the uselessness of Eton used to be one of the great themes.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. Major Toyne went on to say that if he was asked what body controlled schools in England at present, he should feel compelled to remark that the authority was divided between the Board of Education, the War Office, the Board of Agriculture, the Horticultural Department, and the National Service Department.

These five bodies represented in some small degree the scope of the school's activities, and he thought he could say with all truth that each board had weighed them in its own particular brand of balances, and had not found them 'wanting. Educational successes achieved during the year had consisted of Oxford and Cambridge Higher School Certificates, and a science scholarship at Glasgow University, in addition to all their candidates having been passed into Sandhurst and Quetta (for the Indian Army) with the exception of one. One of their boys also had secured an entrance cadetship at Osborne College. The general work of the school was extremely creditable, and the prospects for the forthcoming Oxford and Cambridge examinations were particularly bright. Their other records were equally encouraging, and the records of the boys and the increasing numbers of the senior and junior schools reacted for the mutual benefit of each.

For the September term they had already beaten all previous records by a substantial margin, and they would soon be beginning to feel the want of elbow room once more. However, they were not without plans and schemes for the future. In the military world their Training Officers' Corps had more than maintained its reputation, and they were again to be responsible for the organisation of the Northern Schools O.T.C. Camp in August. There had been a marked improvement in individual shooting, and the record score of 112 out of 115 on the miniature range had been made by Private Crawshaw. They had also been presented with a handsome silver cup by Captain Wilson for the encouragement of rifle shooting. The School Roll of Honour, so far as it was complete, recorded the names of 44 Old Peterites who had been killed in action, while there were still

176

COMMEMORATION DAY.

450 of them serving. The honours list contained one K.C.B., one C.B., one C.M.G., six D.S.O.'s, and II Military Crosses which had been won by " Old Boys," while thirteen more had been mentioned in despatches—three of them on two occasions. In addition to these, one old member of the school had been made a honorary general in the Russian Army, one had been awarded the Italian Bronze Medal, and another had received the Voltinteer Decoration. They were proud of their Roll of Honour ; proud of those who had fallen, and proud of those who were still fighting.

In conclusion, Major Toyne referred to the fact that the year had been a very successful one with regard to school games, and he cordially thanked the teaching staff for their assistance— particularly Mr. Yeld, the veteran master of the school, who was so nearly approaching his jubilee.

DEAN'S FORCIBLE SPEECH. THE DEAN OF YORK, before distributing the certificates tothe boys, expressed pleasure at being able to take part in so delightful a function as the prize distribution at St. Peter's.

He was sorry that he was not able to attend the Commemoration Service, but he was obliged to attend the Patronal Festival Service at the Minster. It had recently been said that Deans had nothing to dO and were more or less use!ess officials of the Church, but the people who said these things nearly always came from the Southern Province. If they came to live in the Northern Province and saw something of the duties attaching to the office of Deans they might learn not to say these things.

An Egyptian merchant, according to a translation of a manuscript of 5,000 years ago, warned his son that he would at first be downcast- at Meeting so many men who were experts in their own particular line, and he would be inclined to ask how he was to take his place in the world, not being an expert. The merchant went on to say " But remember that the good God is very fair, and gives to everyone his gifts. Although at first you may not realise that you are an expert you will find that there is some line in which, as time goes on, you can excel." This was very sound advice, and of the many lessons being learned from the war, this was of the most prominent.

COMMEMORATION DAY.

177

A RIGHT SPIRIT.

There was one department which ran through all however, in which everyone could excel, and it was probably the most important of all—the cultivation of a right spirit. One of the most remarkable books of recent years was one published before the war by Von Buelow, Chancellor of the German Empire.

He wrote the book as an inquiry into the question of why it was that Germany was not the greatest world power, and he was driven to confess that Great Britain was the greatest and most successful world power the world had ever seen, not even excepting the Roman- Empire. He attributed Great Britain's supremacy to the Briton's conviction that his system of administration, government, education, and culture was not only the best for him, but the best for the whole world as well. The German Chancellor attributed our success to the conviction that in the end the thing which prevailed was not the big battalions or mere genius, or any great aggregation of capital, but the spirit of the nation. The culture of this right spirit was open to everyone of us, and in his opinion this spirit was better fostered in the public schools of England than anywhere else in the world at the present time. He urged on the boys that, whatever else they did or failed to do at school, they should all become experts in true sportsmanship—ifi playing the game for the game's sake, with all that lay behind that tremendously strong feeling of resentment in every public school boy when his honour was suspected.

AN EXAMPLE OF COURAGE.

One could not speak (3' courage to 7day in face of the wholly unprecedented example of courage set by our splendid men at the front, but they must learn that what belonged to both these qualities of sportsmanship and courage—self-effacement. In the near future he was going to dedicate a, memorial to a young Yorkshire officer who won the Victoria Cross out in France.

He carried out an attack which he himself had planned, and which the General had given him leave to carry out, which had for its objective the taking of a certain railway triangle, and which involved most dangerous work. On the eve of carrying out the

178

COMMEMORATION DAY.

attack he wrote in a letter home : " Remember, I only have one desire—that is that my body may be buried with the bodies of my men on the other side of the triangle." And his body was buried there. That showed supreme self-effacement for a great work. The qualities of sportsmanship, courage, and selfeffacement were ultimately divine gifts. Thus it was that the good God was very fair, for He gave to all that which would produce in them—as it had produced in generations before them the spirit which would carry all before it.

PRIZE LIST. The Dean then presented certificates to the following prizes : Archbishop of York's Prize for Classics—I, 0. Gray ; 2, R. E. F. Tendall. The Dean of York's Prize for Mathematics—L. E. 11 Cutforth. Prize for English Essay not awarded. Reading Prizes—(given by the Old Peterite Club) L. E. Cutforth, H. G. Crawshaw. The Whytehead Memorial (Divinity) Prizes— K. H. Rhodes, J. C.

The proceedings concluded with a hearty vote of thanks being accorded the Dean, on the motion of the Rev. Canon ARGLES, seconded by the Bishop of BEVERLEY. Cheers were then given by the boys for the Dean, the Board of Governors, and the visitors.

O.P. CLUB MEETING.

179

OLD PETERITE CLUB. PROPOSALS FOR WAR MEMORIALS. In the evening Major Toyne presided at a meeting of the Old Peterite Club which was held at the School. Amongst those present were Mr. G. Yeld, M.A., Mr. E. R. Dodsworth, Mr. H. E. Leetham, Councilor K. E. T. Wilkinson, Mr. Norman T. Crombie, the Rev. Edward Peters, Dr. A. E. Chapman, the Rev. E. L. Freer, Mr. L. Procter, the Rev. F. H. Barnby, Mr. C. F. Tendall, Mr. J. S. Denby, Mr. E. J. Joicey, Mr. H. E. R. Reynolds, Mr. J. B. Alexander, Mr. E. R. Featherstone, Mr. A. J. A. Woodcock, Mr. R. G. DeLittle, Mr. G. A. Lofthouse, Mr. G. E. Wiseman, Mr. R. R. Hicks, and Mr. Arthur Peters (Hon. Secretary).

Mr. Ernest Leetham was unanimously elected a Vice-President of the Club. Mr. J. S. Denby was elected a member of the Committee in place of Mr. R. Crawshaw, whose resignation was accepted. Mr. B. Dodsworth and Mr. Noel Blenkin, the retiring members of the Committee, were re-elected, both being on active service. Other officials of the Club were re-appointed en bloc.

The PRESIDENT said that the principal business was to consider proposals for permanently commemorating those Old Peterites who had fallen in the war, and also those who had served with the forces. He thought it was time that this matter was considered, for many other schools had already entered upon schemes for which they had collected large sums of money. They must decide on some memorial which would be lasting, and accordingly he had roughly drafted out certain concrete proposals. In the first place he thought a Committee should be formed to carry out any proposals decided upon, and he thought the matter should be left entirely in the hands of the Old Boys. He suggested that they should differentiate between those Old Boys who had fallen, and those who were serving. The first proposal which might be called Scheme A was that the chapel might be renovated and the sanctuary adorned with oak panelling on which should be carved the names of Old Peterites who had fallen in the war. The second proposal—Scheme B—was that they should extend the accommodation of the great hall by the addition of

180

O.T.C.

a gallery, that the walls should be oak panelled, and that cross seats should be placed in the hall. They might then carve on the oak panelling the names of Old Peterites who had served in the war. The third scheme which he had to propose—Scheme C—was that they should endow a Scholarship for the sons of Old Peterites, preference to be given to the sons of those who had been killed on active service. These three schemes might all be undertakeh in order of precedence, and then if there was any residue from the money collected, they might devote it to a fourth scheme—Scheme D—for discharging certain old-standing debts on the school grounds.

After some discussion it was unanimously decided that each of the schemes outlined by Major Toyne should be undertaken in order of precedence.

The following Committee was appointed to collect the necessary funds and to carry the proposals into effect :—Major Toyne (Chairman), Sir T. Clifford Allbutt, the Dean of York, Mr H. E. Leetham, Mr. E. R. Dodsworth, Mr. Norman Crombie, Councillor Kenneth Wilkinson and Mr. J. S. Denby (Secretary).

Mr. Ernest Leetham and other members referred to the invaluable services rendered to the School by Mr. Yeld for almost 5o years, and a Committee was appointed to collect subscriptions.

CRICKET MATCH. During the afternoon a Cricket Match was played between the first School XI. and a team of Old Boys and others, Captained

by Major Toyne. The School XI. won the match by 217 runs to 125, Tendall scoring 97 for the School, and the Rev. H. T. S. Gedge 5o for Major Toyne's team.

O.T.C. NEWS. Last term, on Tuesday, March 27th, the section competition took place. After a Competition consisting of four parts, Swedish, open order, musketry, and squad drill, section 3, under Corpl. Gedge, came out top, closely followed by section 5, Lce.Corpl. Roberts, and section 1, Corpl. Chilman.

O.T.C.

On Tuesday, April 3rd, the Bugling Competition took place for a prize offered by Mr. Toyne. The prize was awarded to Allen, while Mann was given the second place. Mr. Toyne, Mr. Tendall, and Mr. Barnby, were the judges in this difficult competition.

During the last week of the Easter term, the Competition for the Shooting Cup was shot amid difficult circumstances owing to the snow. The course was the classification test and was won by Crawshaw with a score of 112 out of 115, while Nelson made a good second with 102.

O.T.C.

This term a great deal of work has been got through by the 'O.T.C. The weather, contrary to last term has on the whole been kind and has refrained from preventing parades. As usual the summer term is the fullest in the way of O.T.C., being occupied with Military Sunday, the Inspection and preparations for camp.

The Corps, this term, is somewhat short of officers, owing to Mr. King and Mr. Reynolds having left. There is now no Second in Command and Sergt. Chilman has Platoon II. The recruits, of whom there are six, have now been drafted into Section 8. The sections in Platoon II. have been considerably altered, while several have been promoted to Platoon I. The Band and Signallers are showing marked improvement under Lce.-Corpl. Roberts and Gray. The latter started on a course of skilled instruction under Lieut. Wilson, but unfortunately he has lost the use of his legs and is unable to come now.

O.T.C. MILITARY SUNDAY.

The first part of the term was devoted to preparation for Military Sunday, which came on May loth. The O.T.C. paraded at 9-o and marched down to the Minster. There the service was less impressive than usual owing to the entire lack of massed bands, and by the comparatively small numbers. The Sermon was preached by Canon England.

After marching past General Maxwell, with St. Peter's Band at the head of B column, the usual round was made by Ouse Bridge, Lendal Bridge and back to the School.

On Thursday, May 24th, the O.T.C., following its old custom, saluted the flag. This year the parade was in the afternoon ; after the salute the Corps marched past in fours and then in line.

On Whit-Monday, May 28th, a whole day field-day was arranged with the V.T.C. to take place between Healaugh and Askham Richard. St. Peter's, under Lieut. Barnby, and two sections of Elmfield, under Lieut. Slack, the whole under Major Toyne, formed a Brown force whose, object was to guard the Rufforth Road and keep the Green force (the V.T.C.) out of Agkham Richard. These were advancing from Healaugh. A novel feature was introduced into this field-day which made it very realistic. This was the use of aeroplanes by both sides.

Those on the Brown side brought much useful information.

The field-day started at 12-3o and the Browns having trained from York to Copmanthorpe from whence they marched. The V.T.C. advancing from the south attacked with great vigour, but were kept out of the village. They were greatly hindered by a barricade in a narrow lane and in the opinion of the umpire, General Bewick-Coppley, could never have taken the position.

An interesting day was ended by a march home to York from which nearly all survived.

THE INSPECTION. On Thursday, June 14th, the O.T.C. underwent its annual War Office Inspection. This year the inspecting officer was Major Graham, who arrived just before dinner and proceeded to inspect the armoury, the range, and the Q.M.'s Stores, on all of which he commented favourably. In the afternoon the

183

HOCKEY.

inspection itself began by the inspection of the company by platoons. This was followed by the march past in fours and line. After this Platoon I. did platoon drill and open order under the N.C.O.'s. This was followed by a little platoon drill and open order work by Platoon II. Then Platoon I. went through some field •operations under the C.S.M. This ended the inspection and Major Graham then gave us his verdict. He was very pleased with the O.T.C. as a whole expecially its steadiness and discipline and the " grip " of the N.C.O.'s. The one criticism he had to make was on the musketry, chiefly the firing positions. He also inspected the signallers on whom he made a favourable report. Thus in all ways the inspection was a success.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. R. V. MIDDLEMAS'S XI.

Result, Won 9-1.

At the start play was very even, and it looked as if the School were going to have to make a really tough fight. However, lack of training began to tell on our opponents, and Wright dribbled the ball up the field and passed to Yeoman who scored.

Two more goals were scored in quick succession, one by Jones and the other by Wood. More even play followed, but Wright scored, just before half-time, from the edge of the circle.

The School, 4 ; R. V. Middlemas's XI., nil.

When the play was resumed our opponents pressed hard, but good play by the backs saved the situation. The School forwards then obtained the ball, and by good combination Wright scored again. The opposing forwards then made a determined rush and their centre managed to push the ball through. But after this, our forwards indulged in some much-needed shooting practice and goals were registered by Yeoman, Wood, Jones, and Mr. Toyne.

Final score : The School, 9 ; R. V. Middlemas's XI., 1.

The team was the same as against Southlands.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. SOUTHLANDS. Result, won, 4-2.

This time Southlands turned out a stronger ream and more work was given to the School backs than heretofore. , Yeoman winning the toss, the School played down the hill first. Wright opened the scoring in the first five minutes with a good shot, but soon afterwards our opponents scored twice in quick -succession. The School were then hard pressed for some time, the halves and backs playing very well. Southlands had several shots but Dobson saved well and Toyne cleared to Bryning, who took the ball down the wing and centred to Yeoman who scored. Even play followed until half-time.

The School, 2 ; Southlands, 2.

After the bully, our opponents again pressed hard, but the efforts of the backs were again succes ful. The forwards took the ball down the field, but it was returned to the opposing left

Final score : The School, 4 ; Southlands, 2.

The team was the same as the last match.

CRICKET SEASON, 1917.

This year the School team held a record season ; out of i6 matches played it had won 12, lost 3, and drawn i.

The season opened with three old colours, and from the beginning play worthy of colours was shown by several of the team. In fact throughout the season few changes were made in the XI. The dry weather favoured the batsmen, and great talent was displayed, and high scores reached. The best performances being R. E. F. Tendall who scored 139 against the Royal Naval Air Service, 139 against the Army Pay Corps, and 87 against S. M. Toyne, Esq.'s XI. In nearly every match he has reached a high score, and batting first was a great help to the team by the encouragenaent given in his steady and brilliant innings.

K. G. Chilman obtained 79 not out against Rev. F. H. Barnby's XI., and 58 against Bootham School, and was of great service to the team in being a reliable bat, in most matches scoring high.

T. G. Wright and E. W. Harland also have been a source of great strength to the XI, the former scoring 65 against the R.N.A.S. and 54 against Bootham, the latter scoring io6 against the Masters' XI. The remainder of the team have batted steadily, Toyne and Crawshaw being especially marked for keen and superior batsmen.

The bowling this season, although hindered by the weather, has surpassed all expectations, Wright and Chilman taking 74 and 42 wickets respectively. Wright's best performance was 8 wickets for 43, and Chilman 6 wickets for 4 runs.

CRICKET.

187

The bowling this season has rested on these two, and they have in each match bowled with great skill and much success.

The change bowlers this season were Tendall, Ramsden and Harland, who all bowled well, and show great promise for future seasons.

The play has been very keen throughout the team, and the fielding has reached a high standard. Chilman, who has won the fielding prize, deserves great credit for his sure hands.

The 2nd XI. have played four matches and won them all, In this team there is some promising talent for next season.

Crowther, Elliot-Smith, and Wood, E. K., are greatly improved in batting, and Davis has bowled extraordinarily well.

In the whole School great keenness has been shown, and the Leagues have shown up many promising cricketers.

Both teams are to be congratulated on their successful season, and a similar one is hoped for next year.

The success of the cricket is largely due to the excellent coaching of the Headmaster even when he was unable to play himself through illness.

CRICKET. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. MASTERS' XI. Played on the School ground, Thursday, May 17th.

Result, won.

The season opened with a match against a team chiefly composed of Masters on Ascension Day. The School lost the toss and the Masters opened the innings. At first wickets fell cheaply and twenty had not been reached before four wickets were down. The " rot " however was stopped by Mr. Toyne and Roberts who scored 76 and 92 respectively, and the partnership was not broken until the. score had reached 161.

The remainder, however, offered little resistance and the side was dismissed for 222. The best bowling performance being 5 for 46 by Wright.

Tendall and Harland then. opened the School innings. The former soon retired with only 2 to his credit, but Wright and

.

Harland carried the score up to 67 when Wright was caught, having made 35. Chilman and Harland then got going and runs came pretty freely until Chilman was caught with his score at 28. After four more wickets had fallen the School gained their victory by three wickets, a very promising performance and an encouraging start for the season.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE.

Played at Ampleforth on Saturday, and the home team, on winning the toss, decided to bat. Just before lunch wickets fell very cheaply, five being taken for 26 runs. At this point the match was adjourned for lunch. When play was resumed wickets continued to fall before the excellent bowling of Wright and 'Chilman, and good catches were taken by Tendall and Nelson, the side being finally dismissed for a total of 48.

Ampleforth then took the field, and Tendall and Harland opened the innings for St. Peter's. With the score at 17 the latter was magnificently caught at third man by Morice. Wright then went in and Tendall opened out, and it was not until the score had reached 41 that Wright was well caught in the slips by the Ampleforth captain. Nelson followed, and when six more runs had been added Tendall was caught in the deep-field having made a useful 34, hitting one 6, and four 4's in a brilliant innings. With the score at 47, Chilman, who had followed Tendall, was dismissed, and Bryning came in, and St. Peter's had won when Nelson retired. The Crawshaw-Bryning partnership yielded 40 runs, when the former fell a victim to Leese's leg trap, and Butterfield and Toyne came in before Bryning was also caught at square-leg, after making 24 by good, steady cricket.

Toyne was stumped at 120, and the innings closed with the score at 134, when Roberts was out lbw, with his score at 10.

Ampleforth opened their second innings 89 behind, scoring more strongly in the first three overs, but only McGhee managed to reach double figures, the rest giving Wright little trouble, who finished with seven wickets for 16 runs to his credit, Ramsden, who was also bowling soundly, taking the other three for 15 runs. The match resulted in a victory for St. Peter's by an innings and 56 runs. Scores

Result, won.

Tendall and Harland opened the innings for the School. The latter, however, was soon well bowled by Honeyball. At this point with the exception of Tendall a " rot " set in, but Tendall

195

batted in a really first rate manner and soon passed the half century. No one however enjoyed a long stay at the wicket with him until he was joined by Bryning, and an excellent stand was made and in a short time Tendall reached the century.

Bryning was batting very soundly and compiled a good 27.

Tendall was now hitting freely and was treating the bowling with scant respect. He was, however, well caught when he had scored 139 in a fine innings. The School were all out for 216.

The Pay Corps batted and cheerful cricket was witnessed.

The match gradually became more and more exciting and when 200 was reached the excitement was intense. A good last wicket stand being made by Elliot-Smith, who was playing for the visitors, and Nicholson, the former, however, was run out, and the School finished victors by io runs.

Wright and Chilman opened the bowling for the School and wickets fell very cheaply. We were fortunate in getting Haigh caught his third ball and the side was finally dismissed for the modest score of 35. Chilman bowling extraordinarily well,. capturing 6 wickets for 4 runs, and Wright 4 for 26.

The School then batted and the opponents' score was reached before the first wicket fell. No one s however, was able to remain long before the steading bowling of Haigh, who kept a perfect length, and he took 8 wickets. The School was dismissed for 88, having won a very creditable victory.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Match played on School ground, Saturday, June 23rd, 1917.

Result, won.

This match was looked upon by all as one of our " Derby Days," we being very anxious to make up for last year, and we were by no means disappointed. Leeds batted first and wickets fell very rapidly in fact, our opponents being dismissed for 53 runs before lunch. When play was resumed the last man only added three more runs and Leeds had only reached the small total of 58, the side giving Chilman and Wright but little trouble.

The former finished with five wickets for 40 runs to his credit and the latter 5 for 17.

Tendall and Toyne opened for the School and 17 was reached before Toyne was dismissed. Wright followed and soon after Tendall was well bowled, but this was not until we had won.

Wright was well caught at point when his score was at 27.

Chilman played good steady cricket, making 16 not out, and the School was finally all out for 95, finishing easy victors.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. S. M. TOYNE, ESQ.'S XI.

Match played on School ground, St. Peter's Day, June 29th.

Result, won.

This was the Annual Commemoration Day match, and it was witnessed by a large number of spectators in gorgeous weather.

The Headmaster, in spite of the National crisis, had managed to get quite a good side against us. The Headmaster winning the toss elected to bat, the Rev. H. T. S. Gedge and Capt. Dawson opening the innings, and Wright and Chilman bowling for the School. When the score stood at 35 Wright bowled Captain Dawson. Wickets fell at a good pace, but the Rev. Gedge had a sound defence and he made 62 by good cricket. The side was dismissed for 125. Wright bowled throughout the innings and finished with 8 for 43 to his credit.

The School now batted. Tendall was again in good form and hit out mightily and it was not till he had made 87 that he was caught. Toyne made a useful 27 and Chilman 38. were all out for 188, winning by 63 runs.

CRICKET. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. BOOTHAM SCHOOL.

Match played on School ground, Saturday, July 7th.

Result, lost.

Unfortunately in this match the School had a very bad " offday." Our opponents batted first on a fast wicket. Abbatt and Moulsdale gave us an exhibition of cricket worthy of any School and it was not until the score stood at 176 that Abbatt, the Bootham skipper, was dismissed, having made 75. The School bowlers were unable to find a length and Moulsdale was not out when he had compiled 124 by good steady cricket and the Bootham side finally declared with 261 for 5.

The School started to bat against heavy odds owing to time, and our first two wickets fell for 29, but Wright and Chilman made a stand and played cheerful cricket, and it was not until the score had reached 103 that the former was bowled, having made 54. Chilman shortly followed with 58 to his credit.

Crawshaw made a good 17, and Roberts a useful 16, but the School were finally all out for 175 after making a very sporting fight.

Match played on School ground, Wednesday, July iith.

Result, lost.

In this match the School were up against a really superior side. Philcox bowled with great deadliness for the airmen, and kept a perfect length and had great command of the ball.

The School batted first. Tendall and Toyne opened but were soon dismissed. Wright followed and Chilman was bowled with a fine ball, and S. M. Toyne, Esq., was unluckily caught. At this point Wright, in trying to leg glide a ball was unfortunately given out caught off his pads, but this would have been a most difficult decision to adjudicate. He had scored 40. Crawshaw batted in first class style, making many pretty shots and giving no chances until he was bowled. He had made an excellent 42.

Bryning and Ramsden then made a useful stand, putting on 26 runs. The side was finally dismissed for 133.

The airmen batted and Langford immediately got hold of the bowling, and Butler made 41, and the Rev. Goudge 38. Langford was eventually lbw, having made 129, and the airmen declared with 264 for 6.

Match played on School ground, Saturday, July 14th.

Result, won.

Pocklington winning the toss elected to bat. Wickets immediately began to fall before the bowling of Chilman and Wright, the former bowling particularly well. None of the Pocklington side offered much resistance, in consequence of which they only made 36 all out.

The School then batted, Tendall and Toyne opening. The latter, however, was out clean bowled before a run had been made. Wright followed and it was not until the score had reached 66 that he was out lbw, after having made 46. Tendall was batting very steadily, but shortly afterwards was bowled by a good ball. Chilman now got hold of the bowling and hit well, making many good shots. He was unfortunately caught when 48. Nelson and Roberts both batted well and the innings closed with 185 on the board. leaving the School easy victors by 9 wickets.

We had a rather weaker side than we expected this match, and in consequence we won with ease. Our opponents batted first against the bowling of Wright and Chilman. Wickets fell very cheaply, only two of the side reaching double figures.

No change was needed in the bowling and at the close of the innings Wright had 7 wickets for 28 and Chilman 2 for 31. The Staff scored 67. The School then batted, and good exhibitions were given by Crawshaw, Harland, and Chilman, and the School had 170 on the board when the last man was dismissed.

BOOTHAM SCHOOL.

Match played on the Bootham Ground, Wednesday, July 25th.

Result, won.

This match was one of our best and most coveted victories of the season and a fitting last match to a very successful year ; we were anxious to improve on the previous match.

Bryning winning the toss put our opponents in to bat on a very soft wicket.

Chilman and Wright opened the bowling for the School and wickets very soon fell ; in fact only one of the home team reached double figures, and the whole side only made 48, which was a contrast to the first match.

The School then batted and 46 was reached before Tendall was well caught, having made a good 29. Wright who followed was magnificently caught and bowled by Burlingham. Toyne batted well and reached 32 before getting out. Chilman .made a fine 58. Making very fine shots he was eventually unluckily caught. Nelson made a good 26 and Bryning 16. Butterfield made some good shots on the off. The side was finally dismissed for 218, gaining a brilliant victory and bringing the season to a fitting close.

NOTES AND ITEMS. We offer our congratulations to all those who have gained the successes which are recorded elsewhere in this issue. Our congratulations are also due to R. E. F. Tendall, E. W. Harland, B. D. Toyne, H. N. Nelson, and H. G. Crawshaw on receiving their 1st XI. colours ; also to W. L. Roberts, E. K. Wood, J. Ramsden, A. Elliot-Smith, F. B. Crowther and J. B. Davis on receiving their 2nd XI. Colours.

NOTES AND ITEMS.

205

We note with satisfaction that the energy of the signallers, on the revival of whom we commented in our last issue, has in no wise abated. Indeed, under the tutorship of Capt.

Wilson they have made a marked improvement, and the conduct was favourably mentioned by the Inspecting Officer.

The Band has maintained the high standard reached last term.

The Inspecting Officer's comment was audible to all" Excellent."

For the first time for many years the Sports were missed last term. It was not possible to hold them owing to the fact for the last few weeks of the term the fields were wider snow. This could not be put down to the war, but on account of the latter, it had been decided to award certificates instead of the usual cups.

The work of the agriculturists last term was not in vain. Signs of their labour appeared some time ago and it is hoped that the benefit will be reaped before long.

On Friday, March 3oth, the School Confirmation was held by His Grace the Archbishop of York. The following Sunday April 3oth, the " Story of the Cross " was sung by the choir in the School Chapel.

We have heard less of the Areopagites this term than in the preceding terms. We know that one or two recruits have been collected and also that the whole Society attended the Theatre Royal one evening, but no further news are forthcoming.

While speaking of the Theatre it must be mentioned that invaluabl.e assistance was rendered to those organising the performances in aid of the Stranded Soldiers' Fund, by certain members of the O.T.C. who acted in the capacity of programme sellers.

Friends of the School will be pleased to hear of the renovation of the Chapel which was fortunately completed for Commemoration Day. There has been great activity this term in the Natural History and Photographic Society, which is henceforward to be known by the more handy name of the Scientific Society. It has been

206

SUCCESSES.

divided into different departments, Meteorological, Entomological, etc., each under the command of an able and inspiring chief, particularly well versed in his special branch.

We shall be surprised, indeed, we shall be pained, if the Scientific World at large does not benefit in a remarkable degree by this new arrangement of the talent which is known to exist within our walls. The organisation has not been in existence long enough for us to have noticed the beneficial effects, but the installation of a rain-guage in front of the Pavilion has provided the apparatus for an amusing game of skill indulged in by small boys. There is one question we should like to ask : Are the meteorologists sure that all the moisture deposited in the guage owes its presence therein to atmospheric precipitation ?

The School has been definitely called up for Agricultural Service on August 29th, near Cornhill-on-the-Tweed. Taking into account the Horticulture at home and camp, we are of the opinion that the School is certainly " doing its bit."

The School Monitors this term are L. E. Cutforth, 0. Gray, K. G. Chilman, H. F. S. Gedge, H. L. B. Bryning, H. L. Walker, and R. E. F. Tendall.

SUCCESSES. The following successes have been gained during the last School. year :Entrance into the Royal Military College, Sandhurst : J. H. Sergeant and G. De R. Dooley.

Entrance into the Indian Army College, Quetta : M. R. Jones and S. P. George.

Institute of Chartered Accountants : J. C. Stainthorpe (3rd in All England). R. R. Rainford.

ST. OLAVE'S SCHOOL. We are glad to have, so far as the boys are concerned, a satisfactory account of the Preparatory School to give. We have, I think, worked hard, and with some success. Sullen and Huffam have been promoted to the Upper School ; both are doing good work and will make some of us, who are now above them, hurry along.

Once more the House rejoices in an absolutely clean record in the matter of health.

We have had a lot of Cricket as the weather has been so favourable. Every cricket day there has been a large muster and a good game. Bairstow, Bullen, McMay, Parker and Ford show signs of future usefulness with the bat. The fielding is much improved but the bowling has not yet, in any case, become very dangerous.

We have kept the bad news till the end. Miss Wilson most unfortunately had a fall, early in the term, and received severe injuries, which have made it necessary for her to take a rest.

Happily she is now making good progress towards what we hope will be complete recovery, and we are looking forward to seeing her back in School again very soon.

Gray has become Head Librarian. Thus the Library officials this term are : Hon. Treasurer, Rev. F. H. Bamby ; Head Librarian, 0. Gray ; Librarians, L. E. Cutforth, H. S. F. Gedge, K. H. Rhodes, and E. W. Gilbert.

At a Librarians' Meeting at the beginning of the term, the accounts showed that the classical part of the Library had been for some time, comparatively neglected, and it was decided to spend most of the funds this term to the classical case and the Junior Library. This, which was started last terth under the care of Gray, has now, under Gilbert, been increased to over eighty books.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. During the term the numbers of the Society have increased and considerable enthusiasm has been displayed by members.

Owing to the increased membership it was felt advisable to re-organise the constitution of the Society and accordingly a General Meeting was held early in the term when the whole question was discussed. In addition to the rules of government which were drawn up at this meeting, it was decided that the Society should in future be known as the St. Peter's School Scientific Society.

The outstanding feature of the term was the Field Meeting, which was held at Skipwith Common on Monday, June 18th.

The afternoon proved to be one of the finest of the term, and a most enjoyable time was spent on the Common ; a large number
