SCHOOL HOUSE REPORT: HOUSEMASTERS: J. Goodwin, B. Grant. PREFECTS: M. Endean, H. Cubbage, G. Smith, S. Tam, jackson. This year we have had over 60 resident students in the House. It has been a busy and satisfactory year. We've had our ups and downs as every Boarding House experiences when over 60 teen-age are liv- ing at close quarters. Much credit must go to the Senior Prefects who cheerfully and efficiently carried out their respective jobs. Mr. Bevan Grant, who has been with us for the last year while completing his degree course at U. Vic: has proved to be a tower of strength during the evenings. He has organised ac- tivities on a regular basis for the boys: and the variations and the competition have proved very popular with the boys in the House. Likewise the weight room was well utilized under his direction. We are sorry to see him go but hope he might be back sometime in the future. Many boys have had a most successful year and are to be congratualated on very good efforts. M. Endean and H. Cubbage have played with distinction for the Rugby and Cricket teams: G. Smith for the Rugby and Track Teams and J. jackson for the Rugby XV. Sixteen of the Grade 8's and 9's have represented the Colts and the junior Colts Rugby XV. Ten have played in the junior Soccer XI's and eleven have had success in the Track and Field Meets against other schools. Boys have also represented the school in the Swimming and Basketball teams. Outside Physical activity we have had participation in other spheres too. R. Benson and -I. Squair are to be commended on their efforts with the debating team. A. Matheson and R. Saurwein performed well in drama and several boys ended the year as Straight 'A' students in the classroom. We had eight different nationalities in the residence this year and l'm pleased to comment that the boys learned to live with each other very well. Learning about each others' cultures is an important part of the overall education of any student. Tolerance, understanding and general give and take are al- so important if boys are to grow up successfully in this modern world. Well done everybody and my thanks again to all those who assisted so valiantly. Housemaster: J. J. Goodwin.

BA NACLE HOUSE REPORT 76!77 The success of I3.irn.rtIc House lluctuated throughout the vear. We started out verv well in the Inst term bv providing tough opposition for the other Houses in Interhouse swimming competition. and .is usual. our under I4 and under 16's won a considerable number of points in all fields of sport. They are to be commended for their efforts and ever evident enthusiasm. Lnti..ii'tuii.tteIv. the effort was not sustained throughout. I would like to thank Nick Askew ind Li. XX olilgescliaftieii for their help and co-operation during the year. In the under I6 and open age level. Barnacle tried valiantlv to overcome the strength ol' IS-rltori House and Winslow House in such sports as rugby. soccer. and basketball. but they proved to be slightly superior. Unfortunately. the House depended on the same few people. V.mderspeck, Murrell. and M.u'tinez. in each activity which put us at .1 disadvantage through lack of general participation by other House members. I believe that all who did take part enjoyed themselves and showed good sportsmanship. Many changes were tolerated during the year and I must thank our Housemaster Mr. Goodwin for his advice and never ending assistance. and also the House prefects: Bob Adams. M. Tsang. E. H. Ching. R. Lohrasb. A. Yong, and P. Blair for their help. My sincere thanks to all those housemembers and may I wish .ill departing and those re- turning. the best of luck in future. Marcus Endean Barnacle House Captain Go on Marcus. sock it to them!
