THE SOCIETY

The College offers its warmest congratulations to the President on being made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in the New Year Honours List.

Mr Wood celebrated his eightieth birthday on 19 May 1955. The Governing Body gave a dinner in his honour that evening in the Combination Room.

Dr Ramsay has resigned from the office of Steward, and is succeeded by Mr Parmee; Mr Chadwick has resigned from the office of Dean, and is succeeded by Mr Hart; Mr Hagenbuch has become an Assistant Tutor.

Mr Wilson, formerly Research Fellow, now an official Fellow and Assistant Director of Studies in Law, has been appointed to a University Assistant Lectureship in the Faculty of Law. Two further elections to Fellowships have been made: Mr John Hol­loway, Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and University Lecturer in the Faculty of English, and Mr Peter Mathias, formerly Research Fellow of Jesus College, and University Assistant Lec­turer in the Faculty of History.

Mr Barker has resigned his Fellowship on returning to Eton as Senior History Master.

We congratulate our two Research Fellows, Dr Holdgate and Dr Goy, on the conferment of their degrees of Doctor of Philo­sophy. Dr Goy has been appointed a University Assistant Lecturer in the Faculty of Modern Languages (for Slavonic Studies), and Dr Holdgate is at present Zoologist to the Gough Island Scientific Expedition.

REPORT ON THE FABRIC

Interesting plans and specifications of Friars Building have been presented to the College by the successors to the Archite�t, W. M. Fawcett, who had an office at No. 1 Silver Street. Theyshow that there was an alternative scheme for two staircases only,having the same accommodation as was eventually built, but withfour sets of rooms on each floor of each staircase. It is possible

5

that the arrangement of 'keeping rooms' on the north side made this plan unacceptable.

In the years since Dokett Building was built, the brickwork has tended to decay, and many bricks have had to be replaced. All the brickwork up to first-floor level has now been sprayed with a colourless waterproofing solution.

The sets of rooms in Old Court have been redecorated and fitted with old furniture of good quality suitable for the larger rooms, and the staircases have also been repainted. A bed-sitter looking on to Silver Street has been arranged on the top floor of Staircase K.

THE UNITED CL UBS

President: DrG. P. Mccullagh.

Vice-President: J. I. P. Bull.

Treasurer: Mr J. R. Trevaskis.

Hon. Secretary: I. F. C. S. Clayre.

Junior Treasurer: M. J. Gardiner.

THE BOAT CLUB

Captain: I. W. Welsh.

Secretary: C. A. Y. Shephard.

Vice-Captain: I. G. Menzies.

Hon. Secretary: J. C. L. Cox.

The Lent Bumps saw a continuation of the promise shown in the Fairbairn Cup, with the First Boat making three bumps on the first three nights of the racing, and being robbed of their fourth only by the presence of a slow boat two places ahead of them. The Club was well represented in the lower divisions, and the Rugger Boat gained their Oars. The Lent Crew then went on to Reading, and finished third in the Head of the River Race.

The May Boat repeated the performance of the Lents, making three bumps, rowing over on the last night and finishing fifth. They then went to Marlowe Regatta where they won the Marlowe Eights, and on to Henley, where they won the Ladies

Plate for the first time in the College's Boating history. Both the Clinker Fours were knocked out by the eventual

winners, and with four of the First Boat away in Trials-all in due course awarded their Trial Caps-it was not surprising that the crew went down a number of places. However, the status quo was re-established by the great success of the lower boats.

RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL

Captain: M. R. M. Evans. Secretary: P. J. Jarrold.

Committee Member: J. P. Sanders.

This season we have had two members of the Club in the Varsity •

side and no less than five playing on and off for the LX Club. While this augurs well for the Cuppers, it has made selection of teams for the League matches somewhat of a problem. However,

13

after a bad start, we got well together, and had a very good period in the middle of the term, when we won our matches with Selwyn, Pembroke, Emmanuel and Trinity Hall. It was a pity that this standard could not be maintained, and we lost the re­maining League matches at the end of the term, finishing in the middle of the First Division of the League.

When the LX Club co-operated, we had a strongish scrum, with D. W. M. Irons and G. Davidson always in the forefront of thebattle; the backs were potentially good, but their apparent in­ability to catch and pass the ball proved something of a handicapto their performance.

The Second XV had a very good term under the captainship of M. J. Gardiner. Having lost only one League match, they gainedpromotion to the Second Division, an additional honour since�eens' have never had their second team there before. Anothernovelty this term was the innovation of a Fourth XV. Originallyfor the benefit of the 'Gentlemen', it soon proved itself, andplayed some really good Rugby.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL

Captain: I. Lewis. Secretary: J. A. Howard.

Committee Member: D. B. Allison.

The shocking weather that prevailed in the latter half of the Lent Term was in some degree responsible for our being beaten in the second round of the Cuppers, in the last minute of a game played in a quagmire against St Catharine's, after our showing against Clare on a hard ground had made us favourites.

The Michaelmas term was started well with a 12-1 win against Peterhouse, but the absence ofH. R. Fish to play for the University, and B. P. Smith to gain his Squash Blue somewhat weakened the side in the later stages of the term. But with the increased numbers of Freshmen keen on Soccer, the prospect for the future is far from dim.

F. J. Woodley again played for the University against Oxford in December 1954, and H. R. Fish was awarded his Blue this winter, while J. A. Howard has made several appearances for the Falcons.

14

HOCKEY

Captain: J. I. Gartside. Secretary: P. A. H. Millac.

Committee Member: A. E. Checksfield

The long delayed Cuppers match resulted in a win for Selwyn, strengthened by their two Blues. The score 4-3 was by no means disgraceful. The team was: B. W. A. Tyrrell, R. E. Jarrold, D. D. C. Belchamber, P.A. H. Millac, B. S. Ellis, R. M. Kennedy,G. C. Pool, K. Billington, A. E. Checksfield, J. I. Gartside,M. E. Taylor.

1955 saw a greatly improved team, with a high average stan­dard, though still no Blues or Wanderers. The team finished the League season in third position, the best for some years.

The spearhead of the attack has been J. I. Gartside, Captain, and A. E. Checksfield, both very fit and able hockey players. There has been great competition for places in the defence, which has been solid throughout.

The Club's Dutch Tour at Easter was a great success both on and off the field; everyone appreciated the generous hospitality of our hosts.

CRICKET

Captain: B. C. Richards. Secretary: P. J. C. Dymoke-Marr.

Committee Member: P. L. Boardman.

The outstanding player for the College was the Captain, M. E. Taylor, whose unassailable confidence in the face of all types of bowling gained him the average for the season of 97. With such leadership, it is not surprising that as the term progressed, the side gradually became more and more powerful as it gained in con­fidence. G. Goonesena had a successful season for the Varsity, and was awarded his Blue. Mark Taylor also toured with the Crusaders in Holland.

There are several Freshmen of promise this year, so that we look like fielding a good side again this season.

15

ATHLETIC CLUB

Captain: J. Lawrence. Secretary: S. W. Pakenham. Committee Member: J. W. Lethbridge.

We have maintained rather than increased our prestige during the year. In the Cuppers we came second, holding Emmanuel, the winners, to the closest of margins. This Michaelmas Term, with a useful but by no means outstanding crop of Freshmen, we kept our position in the First Division of the relays, and the field events, but without troubling the winners of either. Our real need is for an outstanding sprinter and long jumper, but we have also lacked performers of great merit in the middle distances. Our standard of pole vaulting and javelin throwing might have been higher. David Marques is an invaluable aid when his Rugger lets him turn out; and we sadly miss Tony Booth, who went down this Christmas.

In long distance running, �eens' stands supreme. Having shared the League Cross-cotmtry with Selwyn last year, we are hoping for victory this season. We won the newly instituted Selwyn Road Race by over a minute, and in the cross-country Cuppers we recorded our third successive win, 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th and 16th in the field of 150, representing very good packing.

John Shearn and John Lawrence again won their Half-Blues. David Wilson ran against the Oxford second team, and we pro­vided three of the eight runners in the University third team. John Shearn also won his track Half-Blue for the three miles.

LAWN TENNIS

Captain: D. A. Degenhart. Secretary: A. C. C. Hedge. Committee Member: T. A. C. Coningsby.

The season as a whole was satisfactory in that both teams, pro­moted the previous year, held their places in the First and Fourth Divisions respectively. The First VI won three and lost three; the Second VI won four and lost four. There were no outstanding players in the Club, although the Captain, J. Howgego, and A. C. C. Hedge played for the grasshoppers. Even so, five of the

16

First VI were members of' Fem1ers' and, but for the team pairings remaining unsettled, and the misfortune of forfeiting one match for non-attendance, the League position might well have been improved.

Full Colours were awarded to: D. A. Degenhart, A. C. C. Hedge, G. W. S. Jackson and T. A. C. Coningsby. J. Howgego and D. H. Simmonds were old Colours.

Half Colours were awarded to E. G. Cantrell.

RUGBY FIVES

Captain: C. J. C. Baron. Secretary: G. S. Hathorn.

We were beaten in the first round of the Cuppers by Caius. In the League, the second pair were promoted to Division I. Colours were awarded to G. S. Hathorn and C. J. C. Baron.

ETON FIVES

Captain: D. S .. W. Lee. Secretary: J. A. Howard.

In the absence of any Cuppers, and with the University knock-out match being put off this term, the season has lacked in interest. However, D. S. W. Lee has been playing frequently for the University.

SWIMMING

Captain: B. D. Emery. Secretary: R. W. G. Miles.

�eens' entered teams for both the relay and water-polo Cuppers held in the Easter Term. The polo team did well, and reached the semi-finals, while both the free-style and the medley relay teams ended fifth. B. D. Emery, now Captain of the Tadpole Swim­ming Club, gained his Half-Blue for water-polo.

SQUASH RACQUETS

Captain: A. E. Checksfield. Secretary: T. A. C. Coningshy.

In the Cuppers, the College did well to get through two rounds of the competition, beating Downing by three ties to two in t�e preliminary rom1d, and Pembroke in the first round by four ties

17

·1

to one. We were eventually beaten in a close match with Em­manuel by three ties to two. In the Lent Term, the First team beat all their opponents except Clare, and finished equal first in the League. The Michaelmas result was not quite as good, but distinctly above average.

The Second team won five of its six matches in the Lent Term, and gained promotion to the Fourth Division. The Third team won four of its six games in the Fifth Division, and in the Michaelmas Term both teams maintained their positions.

B. P. Smith, a Freshman, gained his Half-Blue, and won his game in the University match.

RIFLE CLUB

Captain: D. P. Miller.

Though dwarfed by the larger clubs of the College, the Rifle Club still manages to keep the name of QEeens' known outside, as well as within, Cambridge. Unfortunately in 1955 we had no full­bore shot until the Michaelmas term when R. A. Cumming came to the rescue. The small-bore section entered two teams for the MacDonald Cup for inter-college pairs and both were well placed, the first pair coming third. D. P. Miller shot in the Heslop Cup match against Oxford in February, and R. A. Cumming has been shooting well in the University first eight this last term. There seems to be a promising year ahead.

CHESS

Captain: A. R. Syson. Secretary: J. C. Kelly.

Another unsuccessful season ended with relegation for the second successive year. As previously, however, an extension _of the League reprieved the Club. The Cuppers are best passed over in silence; but the welcome influx of competent freshmen this year gives rise to the hope that our fortunes may improve.

18

TABLE TENNIS

Captain: J. Lawrence. Secretary: N. M. Dor.

The Club ran five teams in the University League, a number only equalled by two other Colleges. Most of our teams are in higher divisions than corresponding ones of other Colleges. Despite this only the Third team was relegated, the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth remaining in the First, Second, Third and Sixth divisions. In the Cuppers tournament we beat Downing in the first rom1d but lost to Clare in the second round.

BADMINTON

Captain: A. R. Syson. Secretary: I. L. Parker.

The Club had a successful season, reaching the finals of the Cuppers and finishing second in League I. Basil Richards again played against Oxford, and both P. G. Smith and G. Goonesena represented the Cockerels in the Inter-Varsity game.

In the Michaelmas Term, the College side showed greater strength than has been evident in the College for some time. But for defeat by St John's, the Club would have already assured itself of the League Championship. As it is, with Basil Richards captaining the Varsity, and both P. G. Smith and G. Goonesena in the running for their Half-Blues, we look forward confidently to the Cuppers.

GOLF

Captain: D. S. W. Lee. Secretary: D. W. M. Irons.

Committee Member: R. M. Kennedy.

In the Carr Cup, Lee, Irons, Kennedy and Sanders were all knocked out in the second round. Irons played well, and only lost 2-1 to the University Secretary, while Lee lost to an Old Blue, and Sanders to another member of the Varsity team.

D. S. W. Lee has been appearing regularly for the Stymies, andIrons and Kennedy have also played for them.

19

ST BERNARD SOCIETY

President: J.B. Geyer. Vice-President: C. Hughes-Stanton. Secretary: C. J. C. Baron.

The Society has begun a new life with zest. The President has infused enthusiasm so that debates now fill the Fitzpatrick Hall.

The debate on Young England proved to be most interesting; and there were also lively debates on 'This Merrie England' and 'Convention is the refuge of the weak'.

In the small discussion rn.eetings, it was never really decided when Renaissance Art began or ended. Indian Culture was ex­pounded, admired and gingerly prodded by a few interested spirits. The President talked about 'Religion'. It was decided that an organ is a musical instrument, while some thought that the English Faculty should be closed and become a kind of afternoon activity, the intellectual' s alternative to rugger.

SAINT MARGARET SOCIETY

Vice-President: P. Dickinson. Secretary: D. J. Wood.

During the Lent Term the programme of the St Margaret Society included concerts given in the College and a series of weekly Organ Recitals in the Chapel. At the end of the term, the Chorus gave a performance of Faure's Requiem and Handel's Sixth Chandos Anthem.

In the Easter Term a Violoncello and Piano Recital was given and the customary impromptu performance of Gilbert and Sulli­van was inflicted on the Mikado. The May Week Concert con-=

sisted of Bach's Fourth Brandenburg Concerto, Grieg's Violin and Piano Sonata, a group of Madrigals and Hiawatha's Wedding Feast by Coleridge-Taylor.

The programme for the Michaelmas Term opened with a talk on Modern Music by Philip Radcliffe. There was a concert by members of the College and a Recital ofltalian Songs and Harpsi­chord Music. The Choral Concert included Verdi's Stabat Mater and Vaughan Williams' Festival Te Deum, and the weekly Organ Recitals in the College Chapel were successfully continued.

'THE BATS'

President: P. J. de W. Kitcat. Vice-President: B. R. Cleave. Secretary: A. C. J. Manley. Junior Treasurer: M. R. A. Wilson. Committee Members: D. W. Strahan, H. C. Burke,

P. P. D. Fearon. Musical Director: Dr J. W. L. Beament. Senior Treasurer: Dr E. A. Maxwell.

In the Michaelmas Term 'The Bats' presented the first public performance of Billy Budd, a dramatic morality adapted by Louis 0. Coxe and Robert Chapman from the novel by HermannMelville. The title-role was taken by M. E. Davies. B. R. Cleaveproduced the play on an arena stage, which created a powerfuleffect in the intimate atmosphere of the Fitzpatrick Hall. Amongthose who saw the play was Dr E. M. Forster, the novelist, whohad recently collaborated with Eric Crozier and Benjamin Brittenin writing the 1ibretto for the opera Billy Budd. As guest of honourat the Annual 'Bats' Dinner, he gave an illuminating talk on theproblems which have to be overcome in adapting the novel for thestage.

In the Lent Term, A. Bownas produced a Ballad-Opera, Change for a Sovereign, written by R. Glen, a past member of the 'Bats'. B. R. Graver was responsible for the music, which con­sisted of original compositions and arrangements of folk-songs. It was a light, satirical, whimsical show, and the audience received it with obvious enjoyment. In May Week it was Shakespeare in Cloister Court again; this time A Midsummer Night's Dream, in a gay and vigorous production by H. C. Burke. In the picturesque setting in front of the President's Lodge, the play delighted large audiences. The weather was good, the play was a great success, and the receipts were high, total profits being greater than in any previous May Week production.

The Society appears to be in a very healthy state as regards finances, reputation, talent and enthusiasm.

22

DINNER IN THE NORTH-WEST

The fifth Annual Dinner for past members of the College resident in the North-West was held at the Grosvenor Hotel, Chester, on Thursday, 17 March 1955, when twenty-seven members of the College were present.
