It was with deepest regrets that we said
good-bye to J. A. Knaggs.
We welcomed A. R. Dawood as our new House Captain in the
Autumn term.
|
On the whole it has
been a very good year for York. We have won the following
cups: Rugby, House and Swimming, and two Victor Ludorum Cups.
We also drew with Craven and Lancaster in the boxing.

It is very hard to single out any good fight, simply
because they were all very good.
