HOUSE NOTES. SCHOOL HOUSE. The past term has been in many ways well worthy of remembrance. The end of term finds the dining-room mantelpiece well stocked with cups, and we can look back with satisfaction on many other activities successfully accomplished. In the matter of cups we may, with justifiable pride, record our successes. Both senior and junior hockey cups have returned to us. The team squash cup has been retained, and F. N. Buckler, whom we congratulate, has kept the individual squash trophy in the house for another year. The 2nd division rowing cup was also retained, though, unfortunately, we lost the 1st division cup, but, we hope, only temporarily. As will have been reported elsewhere, our House Concert was presented during the term. Many members of the House took part and much hard work was put into the production by everybody. We hope the performance was appreciated. Internally, chess, billiards and table tennis have flourished, and the diet has kept everyone remarkably fit during this, the danger term for infection of any kind. Apart from inter-house sports, School House has been very well represented in School games, as no fewer than six members of the Hockey 1st XI were " Houseites." During .the term, House Colours were awarded to the following, to whom we offer our congratulations :—R. A. Stratton, R. H. Hanson, P. V. Leigh, P. F. Cheesewright. As a closing item to these notes we should mention the athletic sports, held at the end of term. During the athletic period much enthusiasm has been shown, and several outstanding performances came from the House, notably E. P. Davison's magnificent mile, and half-mile, and R. S. McKinlay's quarter-mile. The team did very well on Sports Day, but failed to close the gap made by the deficiency of standard points before the sports. 15
