ST. PETER'S GROUP

Until Christmas the Social Service Group continued in the form it has assumed over recent years, and a number of boys continued to complete their various tasks. In January the group allied itself more directly with Youth Action York. Activities have been both more numerous and more varied.

A number of second and third year boys have completed several decorating jobs with members of The Mount School and Queen Anne's Grammar School. Other members of the group have been involved in various forms of housework, gardening and visiting elderly people.

Next term's programme includes many more activities and will probably prove very busy, but the progress of the group must depend on the willingness and hard work of members of the School.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS FENCING CHAMPIONSHIP, 1968

Nineteen members of the School took part in this National Tournament. 521 competitors entered from 38 schools.

C. A. Wood was runner up again in the Senior Foil and reached the semi-final of the Sabre and quarter-final df the Epee. A splendid performance, and he was also acclaimed the all weapon Champion. We are honoured to have such a captain who gave every ounce and encouraged the team on to great efforts. The most delightful moment was the Senior Foil final when Wood fenced his best and the whole team were there to support his great effort.

Miller and Reaston reached the quarter-final of the Senior Foil, both went out in the second round of Epee and Sabre. Our Juniors gained a great deal of experience from the Competition and will improve by it.

The standard of fencing improves each year in this competition. Brydon, who won it last year, was knocked out in the quarter-finals. West of Brentwood and Noel of Downside both represented Great Britain in the under 20 championships of the World in London at Easter. Both were beaten by Wood in the final. St. Peter's York, is now considered a very good side to meet in the Fencing World.

P.P.

"His father is Sheriff of York, and now he is the Rhine Army's Champion at Arms." This misleading headline will serve to reintroduce R. W. Oliver. The newspaper continues: "Second Lieut. Roderick Oliver has rounded off his fencing successes in Germany by coming out on top in the B.A.O.R. Championships . . . winning the Foil and Epee events and finishing third in the Sabre section. He will be in this country in May to compete in the British Army Championships at Aldershot." Our congratulations. (Ed.)
