Under 13 XV (H) (A) (A) (A) Won 22- 3 Won 18- 5 Won 11- 5 Won 14- 3 UNDER 13 XV This year's Under 13 XV side has not enjoyed a successful season, although the standard of play improved greatly in the last three matches. The forwards usually enjoyed a superiority in height and weight, but failed to make full use of these advantages. The urgency, drive and determination of eight players in constant search of the ball never appeared. No team can expect success unless the forwards make sure that the ball is won lor their backs to use. Outside the scrum there were no outstanding players, which was partly due to the smalfness of the players involved. Only the fullback was constantly ready to tackle and run hard with the ball. Tackling generally was half-hearted and accounted for the large number of points scored against the team. lf the backs fail to run straight, pass early and tackle hard, success will never come. Given a readiness to produce these basic skills under match conditions there is no reason why this side should not enjoy a more successful run next season.

A full and varied programme of solo and concerted items was enhanced by the collaboration of Miss Thomas and girls of the County High School, who took part in two groups of madrigals and played in the orchestra. The Junior Choir's items included a performance of "Eleven Minutes" by Manchester composer Thomas Pitfield. Written specifically for school-children to poems by the composer, often reminiscent of the nonsense verse of Edward Lear, these songs have accompaniments for an assorted afiay of instruments from flutes and glockenspiels to guitars and drums. The choir's diction was generalfy good and the humour of the piece as a whole was well conveyed. 12
In similar vein. were the s_o.ngs with instrumental accompaniment, "Three. compfaintg"- by pelqr Dickinson, performed by boyJ ?;o; iii; second and third forms. These pieces had been teiarnt'as p"rt ii ordinary music lessons during the term, and their performance-in-puutic gave an added impetus to much of the term's otherwise routine riusicmaking. The Brass Group's playing of. a suite of pieces by Handel (arranged by..Denis wright) was welt received. Thoug'h many'ot ine-pllvdrd'ii6 still very young, a good standard was achieied, and there is, p,jtentiailv at least, promise of some good work from the Brass Group iri ine ruiuie'. It.was pleasing to have a larger contribution this year from the Hioh School in the madrigal and orchestral items. Reheaisals were trlld %t some most unusual times, including one sunday afternoon, and these wer-e, for the algers at any rate, perhaps more eijoyable tnah tne actull performance. Thanks are due to Miss Thomas, -Mjss Norris ano- rr,l?i. Bowness for their help .in the preparation of thbse items, ano we iooli forward to further combined efforts in making music next iear. Two solo items .deserve special commendation: Grant's singing of aria.s from "Elijah" showed .e.xceptiona! tone and range of eipiesioii in such .a young voice. He will bd much missed frorn- the sehioi-cnoii. Joyce's flute-plgying _shows great promise; his perforrnance of ,,petite serenade" pv. sogln-ounk, had not onry technicai skill, but a hign stindard of musicianship in phrasing and geheral style. The final item by the senior choir had all the familiar tunes of "carmen", set to some fess famif iar words. The accompanimeni- wal alganged for two pia.nos, and.played.by philip Gilbert and'Mr. o. eaLer, whom we thank again for their valuable assiitance in other parts of thd programme also.
