JVlr. Shepherd Mr. Shepherd graduated from Dane’s Hill College, Nottingham, England, majoring in Literature and Music. Before coming to S.J.R., he taught at a mixed English State School in Bradford, Yorkshire. He teaches English to Forms 5, 6, 7, and 7 EW, and is in charge of two choirs, a Junior, Lower School one, and an Upper School one. He also finds time to help out a small guitar folk-singing group. Mr. Shepherd’s favorite sports are badminton, squash, tennis, and swimming; he likes all kinds of good music from jazz to grand opera, and is a meticu¬ lous dresser. We wish him a long and eventful future at S.J.R. All the boys who last year were members of the Potters’ Club returned to the Club this year. Although we are at present still short of space, we get along quite well. The two wheels which we have are in constant use. We are planning to make enough attractive pots to sell at the Guild Tea. With the money from the sale we hope to purchase a third wheel which will allow us to expand the Club. We meet every Saturday afternoon from two-thirty to five-thirty or until such time as Mrs. Nagy manages to get rid of us. We have a fifteen minute break for tea. All the glazes which we use are made in the School and we are constantly adding to our repertoire of glazes by doing extensive glaze research. We do not use com¬ mercial glazes. We are all looking forward to our larger and improved facilities as well as an extended Art Program. —Stewart Searle 77

ji ,; ouse This has been an excellent year for Hamber. The Seniors did exceedingly well in Soccer, Hockey, Cross-Country, Borden Ball and Basketball. The Juniors won every team competition with flying colours, and the Seniors doing well in all but Flag Football, Hamber has never had it so good. Most important to the smaller ones who did not participate in Athletics is the Honours and Stripes candies. This is a total effort by the House which has been well-supported. I hope very much that Hamber continues to do this well in the oncoming year. —Scott McPherson House Captain. 93c ardson 3 Couse l epoyt Up to this point Richardson has had a good year although we have failed to win the Honours total during the winter months, we did well in Athletics. The Juniors won Football and won most of our Hockey and Basketball games. When the semi-finals rolled around, we were overpowered by the other Houses. However, they were most disappointing because the other Houses seemed to over¬ power them in everything except Basketball where we received second. I would like to thank Mr. Gill and Mrs. Murray for their help and encourage¬ ment during the year. —Totton Heffelfinger House Captain. ( Jounp J Cc ouse Young House has been doing very well this year in sports, but has won no finals as yet. We have come up with three monthly top places in the Honours and Stripes, and have a total of 5089 honours for the first two terms. With baseball coming up, we should do better. People like Jacques, Henderson, McMurray are a great asset to the team. It has been a prosperous year, and 1 am pleased to have been the captain of such a fine House. —John Bredin House Captain. jc ; ouse We have successfully established ourselves in sports and many other activities since our formation last year. Some boys have been let down by people who collect stripes, while they are busy working for honours. In the Seniors, we came from the last spot in Hockey to a booming championship! The Cross-Country races are our pride and joy, for we finished first in that event also. New House didn t lead Bas¬ ketball, but we tried valiantly. The leaders of our House are: House Captain, Rob¬ bie McDonald; Sports Captain, Jamie Campbell; and House Monitor, Brad Gar¬ diner. —Robbie McDonald House Captain. Form 7 EW 79
