THE SOCIETY

The President's Alumni Cantabrigienses, a biographical Register in ten volumes of all known Cambridge men, has been completed after 46 years' work.

REPORT ON THE FABRIC

The last report spoke of plans in progress for the redecoration ofthe Chapel. This work is now almost complete, and has produceda very rich effect. The newly woven curtains shine brilliantly, andthe whole appearance, except for a different colour emphasis in theceiling decoration, is we believe much as it was when Bodleycompleted the work in 1891.

Apart from this, only minor improvements have been madeduring the year. There are more gas-fires and more long-burningcoal-fires. The Eton fives court has returned to its proper use afterstoring anthracite for many years. The Junior Bursar has a storebehind Friars Building against the old Carmelite wall. Two bed­sitting rooms have been e;reated at the expense of the accommoda­tion in Fellows sets in Fisher. In Dokett two new guest roomshave been made out of a set of rooms on Q staircase, and the oldS guest room has been converted to a bed-sitting room. In thegarden, the old vinery with its minute glass panes and interestingsmoke flue heating system has been replaced by a new structurewith modern heating, and the other two greenhouses have beenrebuilt.

Mr S. E. Dykes Bower has been commissioned to submit plansfor a hammerhead to Friars Building, to run parallel to the riverand conceal the unattractive end of the building. This schemewas announced by the President at the Club Dinner in 1954.

THE UNITED CLUBS

President: Dr G. P. McCullagh.

Vice-President: F. J. Woodley.

Treasurer: Mr J. R. Trevaskis.

Hon. Secretary: J. I. P. Bull.

Junior Treasurer: B. J. Masters

THE BOAT CLUB

Captain: J. C. L. Cox.

Secretary: I. W. Welsh.

Vice-Captain: J. R. W. Marsh.

Assistant Secretary: I. G. Menzies.

In the Lent Term, 1954, everyone was disappointed not to see T. N. Hudson in the Blue Boat. The Lent Races were not a suc­cess as each crew showed a distressing tendency to go down. The Mays were far more successful, and the First Boat went up two places to eighth on the river. The May crew went to Marlowe and Henley, acquitting itself fairly well, losing to Trinity Hall in the semi-final of the Ladies Plate.

In the October Coxwainless Fours the crew had bad luck in losing '3' a few days before the race. The Fairbairn Cup was far more encouraging. The First Boat started fourth and finished second to Jesus, being eight seconds behind.

RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL

Captain: T. J. N. Cartwright. Secretary: P. J. F. Baskett.

Committee: P. J. Jarrold.

In the Cuppers in the Lent Term we were beaten by Jesus in the first round. In the Michaelmas Term, the First XV were well placed in Division I, mainly due to the infusion of some Freshmen into the team. The Second XV had a good term, and the Third XV were unbeaten, thus earning promotion to Division IV. R. H. Umbers and R. W. D. Marques were awarded Blues, and M. R. M. Evans was elected a member of the LX Club.

Owing to rain-soaked pitches, all the matches in our Devon Tour, in December, were cancelled.

12

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL

Captain: K. F. Bruce. Secretary: I. Lewis

Committee Member: A. G. Young.

In the Lent Term, in the Cuppers, we won the first round against Pembroke, but in the second we were defeated by Christ's, the eventual winners.

In the Michaelmas Term we did not have a good season, but with four players returning for the Cuppers, we hope to redeem ourselves.

HOCKEY

Captain: B. W. A. Tyrrell. Secretary: J. I. Gartside.

Committee Member: G. C. Pool.

In the Cuppers we were beaten in the second round by St John's, who went on to win the cup. This was our only defeat during the term, thus completing a highly successful season under the sound captaincy of B. S. Ellis.

In the Michaelmas Term the First XI has a moderate season: a notable victory was won over �een' s, Oxford, by ro-3. The Second XI were unbeaten.

CRICKET

Captain: M. E. Taylor. Secretary: P. L. Boardman.

Committee Member: K. F. Bruce.

The highlight of an enjoyable but variable term's cricket was a win over the City of Ely Cricket Club in which So runs were scored in the last 3 5 minutes to bring victory off the fifth ball of the final over, J. Woodley making 5 8 not out. On several occa­sions, however, inconsistent batting resulted in the failure to take full advantage of some satisfactory bowling performances.

The tour of Somerset was very successful with wins over Bath Thursday XI and the Somerset Stragglers. The College lost to Midsomer Norton and drew with R. J. 0. Meyer's XI.

13

G. Goonesena, after a most successful season with the Universitywas awarded his Blue and J. Harrison and J. Guthrie played regularly for the Crusaders.

ATHLETICS

Captain: A. McK. Booth. Secretary: K. Whittle.

Committee Member: D. R. Briggs.

�eens' retained their position in Division I of the Cuppers.Last year's Captain, R. T. G. Day, was our only representative inthe match against Oxford. He came second in the half-mile; healso won the U.A.U. half-mile championship.

The College again won the cross-country Cuppers by a com­fortable margin. J. U. Shearn is the C.U.H. and H. Secretary for this season. �eens' had three representatives in the cross-country match against Oxford, two in the field events match, and one in the relay match.

LAWN TENNIS

Captain: J. Howgego. Secretary: D. A. Degenhart.

Committee Member: G. W. S. Jackson.

This year the First VI were undefeated in League II while the Second VI in League V had only one defeat.

M. J. Gleed and D. M. Coles represented the College in theCuppers and lost to St John's in the second round having beaten Jesus College. They both played for the University Grasshoppers.

RUGBY FIVES

Captain: J. R. McAulay. Secretary: C. J. Randall.

In the Lent Cuppers we were defeated in the first round. The Michaelmas Term was started with a playing membership of eleven.

14

SWIMMING CLUB

Captain: J. B. Wilks.

No teams were entered for the varying competitions by the College. However B. D. Emery swam for the Tadpoles, and is their Secretary for this year.

SQUASH RACQUETS

Captain: R.H. Norden. Secretary: A. E. Checksfield.

We were unlucky enough to draw Clare, the eventual winners, in the first round of the Cuppers and duly succumbed 0-5. How­ever, we gained some compensation from the fact that we were equal first in the League played during the term.

In the Michaelmas Term, we again did very well in the League and were only beaten once during the term, again by Clare.

RIFLE CLUB

Captain: D. P. Miller.

The Club had a successful year's shooting. A. D. Black was selec­ted to represent C.U.R.A. against Oxford, and he captained the University Small-Bore Club. Against Oxford in the Heslop Cup he obtained a possible, breaking the existing record. D. P. Miller also shot in the Heslop team, and, with A. D. Black, shot for the Macdonald Cup. They tied with Trinity with a score of 399 out of 400, and ultimately lost when a larger gauge was used.

CHESS

Captain: J. C. Kelly. Secretary: C. J. Ball.

Thanks to the large number of Freshmen who came up in , October, our Chess teams are enjoying a better season than we did last year. Both C. J. Ball and N. M. Dor have played for the

University.

15

TABLE TENNIS

Captain: G. F. Modlen. Secretary: J. Lawrence.

While the great hey-day of �eens' Table-Tennis seems to have been passed, two years ago, we can still boast three teams in the first two divisions of the League-a distinction shared only by Caius.

We also reached the final of the Doubles Cuppers, Caius, fittingly enough, being our opponents. Due to administrative complexities, the final was never played !

Our Captain for 1955, Modlen, has played in the Varsity side, and our 1954 Captain, Howgego, was match secretary to the University Club.

BASKETBALL

Captain: I. F. H. Rogers.

In the Michaelmas Term, in the inter-college Basketball competi­tion, a strong �eens' team completed a most successful season, being unbeaten.

BADMINTON

Captain: P. G. Smith. Secretary: A. R. Syson.

The Club enjoyed a good season, finishing second in Division I. In the Cuppers we were beaten in the semi-finals.

B. C. Richards was awarded his Half-Blue, and is this year'sSecretary of the University Club. Last season J. N. Atherton and J. F. Price played for the Cockerels; this season G. Goonesena and P. G. Smith have also appeared for the Cockerels.

GOLFING SOCIETY

Captain: B. Gillitt. Secretary: J. M. Wheeler.

The College has had a strong team, but lack of interest shown by other colleges has made fixtures difficult to obtain. Owing to the arrival of some talented Freshmen the standard this year is higher than last.

16

SKI-ING

�eens' gained considerable prominence this year in the Cam­bridge ski-world. Not only was I. F. H. Rogers, the University Captain, a member of this College, but also R.H. Haydon-Jones, the winner of the Cambridge Open. Both performed well in the races against Oxford, and were later members of the British University Ski team which competed against a team of Swiss students.

ST BERNARD SOCIETY

President: J. R. McAulay. Vice-President: J. B. Geyer.

Secretary: C. Hughes-Stanton.

Debates have been held during the past year in conjunction with the History Society, the Bats, and the Cains College Debating Society. Since October 1954, a policy has been pursued of in­viting to the College two outside paper speakers renowned in some field. This action, which has included among its attractions the Union Vice-President and Secretary, has led to increased interest in the Society.

SAINT MARGARET SOCIETY

Vice-President: P. Nelson. Secretary: P. Dickinson.

The Society continues to maintain an important position in Col­lege life and has produced much fine music during the past year. Chamber concerts have included visits by Robin Harrison, Peter Smith and Angus Watson. Beethoven's Mass in C and Tallis's Lamentations were performed in the College Chapel on 11 March, with Ursula Nicholson-Lailey, Valerie Riseborough, Peter Nelson and John Noble as soloists. Peter Dickinson was organist.

The College orchestra has taken a large part in the Society's activities, performing Mendelssohn's Second Piano Concerto at the May Week Concert, with Peter Dickinson (piano), as well as Bach's Peasant Cantata and The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams, in which Goh Heng Leong was soloist, in the Michael­mas end-of-term concert.

17

A small group, known as 'The St Margaret Singers' has been established which regularly takes part in College concerts. Again the unrehearsed Gilbert and Sullivan evening during the Summer Term, in which both Pirates of Penzance and Trial by Jury were performed, was thoroughly enjoyable.

'THE BATS'

President: J. R. Macdonald. Vice-President: D. 0. New. Secretary: M. E. Davies.

Junior Treasurer: M. ]. D. Bown. Committee Members: G. W. Hartley, J. R. Williams,

I. Ross.Musical Director: Dr J. W. L. Beament.

Senior Treasurer: Dr E. A. Maxwell.

In the Michaelmas Term J. R. Williams produced Christopher Fry's play The Lady's not for Burning. The part of Thomas Mendip was played by J. R. Macdonald. The seats for this production were entirely sold out three days before the first night, a feat which had probably never been equalled by any other Cambridge Dramatic Society. In the Lent Term the Musical Director, Dr Beament, excelled himself by producing not only the music but also the script for the Bats' annual original musical show. The play took the form of a melodrama in the Edwardian style with interpolated songs and the stylish title of The Midnight Bell. The • audience was treated to the spectacle of twenty-two scene changes on the Fitzpatrick Hall stage; the sets, which were very striking, were by J. H. Willats. The show was very well received and was

19

produced later in 1954 at the A.D.C. Theatre as an independent production. It was originally produced for the Bats by J. R. Macdonald, who in May Week went on to produce his Third Bats' show. This was Hamlet with D. 0. New in the lead. For this production the Society returned to the old practice of using the President's Lodge as a background. Despite wind and rain in the weeks immediately preceding the show, and rain during the play itself, receipts were high and the play was a great success. This was the Bats twenty-first consecutive production and the annual dinner in consequence had something of the nature of a coming­of-age celebration. About fifty members attended, thus bearing witness to the strength of the Society.

During the year D. 0. New played in an independent produc­tion of The Heiress, G. W. Hartley appeared in The Rehearsal for the A.D.C. and J. H. Lyde took part in the University, Musical Comedy Club's first production. H. C. Burke staged a private production of Arlecchine during the Lent Term and in May Week produced the Italian Straw Hat for the A.D.C.

The general state of the Society appears fairly secure. A sub­stantial stock of scenic and lighting equipment has been built up, the finances remain surprisingly healthy by comparison with those of most dramatic societies and the members continue to be large in number and enthusiastic in behaviour.

THE COLLEGE LIBRARY

During 1953-4 the purchase of books to establish a useful nucleus in every subject of undergraduate study was completed, at a total cost to the College of about£ I mo. The Old Chapel is open daily during full term from 9 a.m. till midnight, and undergraduates can either read in it, or take books out with no more trouble than an entry in the borrowers' book.

Two large benefactions have been received from m�mbers of the College: an anonymous gift of £238 for the Modern Lan­guages section, and a gift of thirty-two books from M. Elie Carrive, French Lector in the University. Several other gifts were received during the year. Most of them were acknowledged in the last issue of the Record; others were from Dr Maxwell, Dr Haszeldine, Rev. J. W. Hubbard, Rev. R. N. Sharp, and Rev. J. F. Williams. Benefactions are more than ever welcome; the College now spends a substantial portion of its revenue on the Library, but books are very expensive. And we invite any mem­ber of the College who publishes a book, of whatever sort, to present it to the College Library; it is our wish to build up as complete a collection as possible of such books.

In the summer of 1954 the College accepted with regret the resignation of Mr Hart from the office of Librarian, and appointed • Mr Potts to succeed him.
