SCHOOL LETTER. " To meet the Rise in numbers, We've taken Clifton Rise."
HE Author of last term's prologue, from which we have taken our quotation—our well of Classical Allusion having run dry—has proved a true prophet. Clifton Rise has been opened this term under Mr. Featherstone with fifteen boys. We wish him and his house every success. We extend a very warm welcome to Mr. Arnold Craft, but at the same time we must express our regret at the temporary loss of Mr. Yeld, who is at present away, recovering from the effect of his recent illness. We hope that he will soon be again amongst us. We congratulate all concerned on the immense success of " She stoops to conquer." All critics agree in regarding the performance as excellent, and large audiences on either night showed their appreciation, materially expressed in the 3z sent to the Public Schools' Base Hospital. Last term saw a most successful football season, for which . Gedganhistmrveouaistcnglo. The great event of the end of last term was the Jubilee of Mr. Yeld, who completed his fiftieth year in the service of the School. He received a presentation watch from the School, and the last night of the play was made an occasion for appropriate speeches and reminiscences, a full report of which may be found elsewhere.
