HOUSE NOTES DRONFIELD
This has been a successful year in the House. J. D. Willis started off the Easter term by winning the Nigel Morris and Ian McGrath Trophy, being presented for the first time to the most improved rugby player in the school. Despite lots of enthusiasm the senior crosscountry team did not do well; however, M. S. Bidgood succeeded in winning the Junior Long Run for the second year in succession, the House coming third overall. Bidgood received his junior House colours after this event. The House swimming team did very well in coming second to School House. Led by C. J. Watson there were many admirable wins. The first event of the athletics sports was the mile, the intermediate one being won by P. R. Gooder. As seems usual it rained on Sports Day, but Dronfield had an unbeatable lead before it was called off and so the Athletics Shield was retained. Exceptional performances were made by P. R. Wilkinson, P. R. Gooder and M. S. Bidgood. House colours were presented to F. T. Gooder, J. D. Willis and C. J. Watson during the Easter term. Although the Junior Cricket team were unfortunate in losing to the Rise, the Senior team, led by C. J. Pickles, surprised the school cricketing authorities by beating the Grove in the first round. Splendid performances were put up by G. A. Hunt and P. R. Wilkinson. However, the team met with stiff opposition in the semi-final against Temple, the eventual winners. Not endowed with much musical talent the House did creditably in the Music Competition. Throughout both terms the House Pioneer Corps has continued to work every Tuesday afternoon doing jobs which are of help to everybody. Another sport which has flourished is yard cricket, so much so that having drained York of its supply of the necessary plastic balls, we now have stocks from Beverley and Harrogate. House colours were awarded in the Summer term to C. J. Pickles and T. Fisher. 18
