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!

HOUSE CAPTAIN'S REPORT BOLTO HOUSE The year proved to be another fruitful one for the House seeing it win for the fourth consecutive year the lnterhouse Sports Trophy. In addition. Bolton was also blessed in winning the Sports Day competition, its first triumph in this area in many years. The year began slowly for the House, remaining in second place in the standings until Christmas. But after the holidays Bolton took command, showing the way and leading the other Houses. The Interhouse Swimming Competition began the year, and it was fortunate that the Ellis brothers made such a good showing for they prevented the House froni being drowned! But basketball follow- ed next on the agenda and Bolton showed its presence. placing well in all three age categories. At this stage the superiority of the House began to be felt. Soccer and Rugby came as the competitive sports and helped Bolton pull itself into first place. This came about through victories in both sports in the Under 14 division, Rugby triumph in the Senior division, second place in both sports in Seniors and Under 16's, and a third placing in rugby in the Under 16 age group. The icing was truly spread on the cake on Sports Day, when a superb team effort put victory llor the House beyond doubt. l would like to extend my gratitude to the following people for their help and dedication to the House in the course of the year: Mr. Walsh, Mr. Peach, R. McRae, j. Ellis, R. Wilson. C. Gareau. G. Reader, M. Hallatt, lson and jackson. I would also like to thank those who helped me with the Under 16 and Under 14 age groups: R. Schaffer, S. Ellington, D. Lee, T. Matheson, V. Kovach, M. Barber, and jeremy and jamie Ellis. All those who took an active part during the year should feel a sense of pride that they proved that House spirit still exists. The year was a most pleasurable one for me and l wish my successor every ounce ol' good luck and fortune for the coming year. H. Cubbage, House Captain. -...
