Students from the Blenheim Boys School in Leeds participate in a number of activities including rugby matches and a school Christmas party. The film opens with various groups of schoolboys playing rugby on an exterior pitch. The pitch is surrounded by houses, electricity pylons and fields. It looks to be typical rugby weather, cold and misty with a muddy pitch. Spectators on the side-lines are well wrapped up, and a teacher/referee appears in most shots. The game footage includes lots of scrums, tackles, running with the ball and throwing the ball to one another. After the game, the teams pose for a photograph. One of the teams (7 boys), in two rows, four boys are standing, arms round each other's shoulders, while the other three boys kneel and crouch in front of them with the rugby ball. There are close ups of each of the boys. The other team are posed in similar formation, but with coach or teacher. This is followed by further shots of match. Two of the players score tries in succession, and the game appears quite rough including lots of scrums and falls. One boy grabbed by the collar and tackled. Two more posed shots of teams, and one of the boys is wearing a helmet. There appears to be three different matches which are played. The next section of the film is of a school meal and Christmas party. Streamers hang from ceiling and there is 'Merry Christmas' scrawled on one of the windows. Boys dressed in blazers and shirts (but without ties, open collars) are in classrooms, each drinking glass bottles of soda and eating sandwiches and cake. The boys are laughing and playing up for the camera. One boy does a monkey impression while others are drinking from several straws joined together. The camera moves to another classroom where boys are eating and drinking there too, sitting on and at old fashioned desks. Some of the boys are wearing paper hats and playing cards. An older boy has a guitar and a small group of boys appear to be singing for a second or two. Others are playing games or dancing in the school hall. The film closes with a table tennis match. One of the two teachers presiding/refereeing tosses a coin to see who goes first. There is a small group of five spectators watching the game. After a short clip of the game, the two players shake hands, and the winner is presented with a small trophy.
