HOUSE NOTES THE MANOR This term has provided us with opportunities for each one of us to take part in some activity or other. The first event of the term was the Junior Cricket. We won this by beating School House in the first round and Temple in the final. The first match provided us with something like an Australian Test score of well over 200, Stead made 73 of these in really expert style. The Senior competition started off well with a victory over Temple by 7 wickets, Graham, of all people, opened, and got 59 ! In the final against School House we made the mistake of trying to force the pace and were beaten by 6 wickets. This was the turning point in the Oxford Cup struggle; if we had won, the Cup would have been ours, but School House deservedly won, and we should like to congratulate them. In the tennis we played our way into the final, bringing us up against School House once more, and after a hard-fought match we won. For his part in this victory Jenkins was awarded his House Colours. After beating the much fancied Rise team in the semi-finals of the fencing we lost to the experienced School House team. Our team was ably captained by Wyman, who did very well. With the House Aggregate Shoot already won, the Team Shoot turned out to be yet another contest between ourselves and School House. Set to drop less than eight points, our team shot exceptionally well to win. The Music Competition, a new event, was an interesting interlude and gave enjoyment to a number of boys who put in a deal of practice. Unfortunately, it was not our budding Giglis' day, but we are still hopeful, because who can tell a flower from the bud ! Contrary to current opinion we did well in the Fernie Cup to beat School House for third place. Carlin, whose efforts in the Music Competition should not go by without recognition, won the Hobbies Cup with a fine copy of a Goya self-portrait. The Swimming Sports brought the term to a glorious end with ourselves amassing a record number of 120 points. For their contribution to this victory, Gibson, Ratcliff, and Booth, J. M., were awarded their House Colours. 26
