HOUSE NOTES

DRONFIELD

Having distinguished ourselves last term on the Rugger field, we followed suit this term in Cross-country running and Athletics. M. Donnelly has been captain of House Athletics and Cross-country; under his able leadership the House won the Athletics Shield, after gaining a clear lead in Athletics Standards. Clegg and Hillaby won the Senior Cross-country race. Clegg also won the Senior Mile, and Medlycott was victorious in the intermediate event.

Despite a good win by P. S. Marsden, the Squash team was beaten by the Rise in the semi-final of the Inter-House Squash competition. Unfortunately no Fencers could be found to represent the House in the Fencing competition.

In the House Singing competition we could offer no challenge to the day-boy Houses, although the House Choir gave a most enjoyable performmance of the "Toreador Song" under Sproulle's guidance.

Towards the end of term members of the House performed "Journey's End" by R. C. Sherriff. The play was produced by T. D. Head. Special mention should also be made of C. W. Clegg's performance in the part of Stanhope, and of the realistic set which was built by Williams, Martinson and their able-bodied assistants.

This term a society for seniors and monitors has flourished in the House. The Society had a most successful inaugural meeting. Three short talks were given by T. D. Head, I. R. Gibson and N. J. Smith and these were followed by a lively discussion. We also had talks by Mr. Christie, a student master, and John Langton, an artist. We thank Mr. and Mrs. Coulthard for their hospitality during these meetings.

Two members of the House, Johnson and Moss, D. J., were confirmed this term.

Senior House Colours have been awarded to P. F. Nettleton, M. Donnelly and C. W. Clegg, and Junior House Colours to N. G. A. Morris and D. M. Hutton.

GROVE

The term began with the appointment of Biddle as Head of School, and Outhwaite becoming a full boarder.

We retained the Squash Cup, winning the final without ever losing a match. It is interesting to note that in the School Squash team Baxter has won 12 out of his 13 matches.

We also retained the Cross-country Plate and Junior Long Run Cup. Both were excellent team efforts and C. S. M. Dew, the captain, was awarded his House Colours as a result; Cressey and Waller must also be congratulated on coming in so near the front. Zissler won the Individual Cup in the Junior Long Run, and Scott came second with the remainder of the team not far behind.
