Sprint Cup. Oglesby and Willstrop were awarded Junior House Colours, and Cloughton Senior Colours after the Sports. To our leavers we wish the best, and thank them for all they have done for the House. We observe with relief that the talent robbery that The Grove have been indulging in of late has finally stopped, but hope this does not mean they think there is none left for them to take!
THE RISE At the beginning of the term Foster joined the monitorial body. It soon became apparent that the weather was to dictate our sporting activities. Accordingly we took up basket ball, though not as seriously as some Houses, and confounded all by coming second in a School league. A flick-hockey league, run by Kettlewell, proved that the combination of Baker, Hedley and Rawlings was a dangerous one, to say the least, for it was their team, the Gnashers, that won the "jackpot". In the Fencing competition we beat School House and Queen's, only to lose in the final to Temple. Oliver, in particular, fenced very well to win all his bouts. In the Chess, again we reached the final after beating Queen's, but final victory eluded us. For the fifth successive year we won the Squash Cup—it is now more or less a fixture in the House. We thank P. W. Shepherd for his efforts as captain. In the Cross-Country we were placed fourth. Some of the younger members ran with much promise, and this will, no doubt, hold good for the future. N. G. Pace was awarded his House Colours for his efforts as captain and, indeed, his fine run. As there were no Athletic Standards this year, we didn't have our usual flying start on Sports Day and came only fifth, though there was no lack of individual effort. D. N. Milnes was later awarded his House Colours and Morris his Junior House Colours. We raised over £7 for the "Freedom from Hunger Campaign"; Kemp arranged the programme. Another "Risite" appeared this term. The R.D.G., which is, apparently, The Rise's main forum, and the Bible Reading Group 'continue to meet. Several members of the House took part in "The Pirates of Penzance" and helped to make it the success that it was. Finally, we say goodbye to our Head of House, Kettlewell. We wish him well in the future.
SCHOOL HOUSE D. H. Adamson and A. V. A. Dickie were appointed House Monitors this term. We welcomed C. W. Clegg to the Junior Middle Common Room. The snow and ice, of course, dominated the scene for all but the last two weeks of the term and, apart from a short but most welcome spell of ice skating, there was little outdoor athletic activity. Rehearsals for "The Pirates of Penzance" took up much of the time for many boys in the House, three of whom, Brown, Dickie and Grayson, R. H., had leading parts. A programme, signed by members of the House, past, present and
