It is uncertain when the first Cricket Holiday was celebrated at St. Paul’s School, but the tradition goes back at least one hundred years.\u00a0 During Samuel Smith Drury’s Rectorship the holiday included a long walk through the grounds for all the new students, followed by a picnic.\u00a0 Similarly, for the current Cricket Holiday celebrations the Rector has invited new members of the St. Paul’s School community, students, faculty and staff,\u00a0 to put on their hiking shoes and follow him on a guided tour through the wooded, more remote areas of the grounds.\u00a0 In general, it is a day, outside the ordinary schedule, set aside for students to enjoy the pleasant fall weather and the beauty of the vast School grounds.<\/p>\n
