House Reports s tl tl Bickle House Following an established precedent, Bickle House has, again, the highest prerequisites. All appli- cants for admission should bring at least three recommendations of the highest quality and standing to the Hole in the Wall . (That ' s where they all live, you know.) In the far east wing of this fair domain there is a far left wing — if you get the meaning. Under our new Communist leadership everyone will be equal, and they will do their share of work, and they will like it. Everything is perfume and pansies on middle flat, but it took a minor revolution on top flat to con- vince our new recruits that room 300 IS the control center. On bottom flat scattered skirmishes can still be heard between the Behind the Curtain gang and the patrolling Hole in the Wall gang. Bickle is now settling down to our dominant role in society (Well, somebody has to do it!) Every- thing that should be is, and everything that will be will be, so Bickle is in a new year with new legs, perhaps even stronger than the ones we lost. Although our academic team may lack depth, we did do fine in that field and, as always, Bickle is powerful. Feel the crunch! P.S. — We would like to thank the girl in our lives for her unending support and congratulate her on her eighteenth birthday. We couldn ' t have done it without you Sara. e 3 fl C li 0 h Brent House Starting off the new year, Brent House found itself with a fine crop of insubordinate new boys, and an even finer bumper crop of school prefects. Shunning all responsibilities, these latter left the job of controlling the mongoloid hordes in the top and middle dorms to a small number of overworked house prefects. The hordes, inspired by a Needham in each dorm, and diverse others, have so far man- aged to dunk two house ' fects in the pool, and nearly drown a poor zero. Later, they managed to elude their overseers on a midnight jog on campus, losing themselves on the darkling plains. Newboys Kedwell and Wilkinson have been especially troublesome to the inhabitants of The House, but they seem to be settling in. Far from the noise and dirt of the dorms, Mr. Hargtaft, in a long-awaited decision, appointed Army to head the house. Whether he can control the volume of Northey ' s new speakers before the ancient walls are blasted to smithereens remains to be seen. Surprising though it may seem, the Smokers ' Common Room has not been moved to the four- manner on top flat. Meunier and Wells are getting along with the townsfolk, as usual. Stan the Swinger has moved in, to the freer atmosphere of second flat, and Pete the lectrician is having a whale of a time, having moved in next to the fuse box and elevator. Above, Albert ' s room has been accu- mulating excess rubbish as he has been making less frequent trips with the Cob ' s Club. In general, with all of the enthusiasm characteristic to Brent House throughout the ages, this year should be a good one. HI A 19 K .11 3s . IliiiB IHkXXn, I 10-School Life

Job Program The job program is new, so it can be expected that there are a few flaws, but other than a few areas the system is working quite well. It is good that everyone should do some work in this area everyday. It tends to make some people more re- luctant to be untidy. Many people need to do a bit of work like this. The real weakness lies in the tidiness of rooms. Maybe if the carpet sweepers worked, this would help to solve the problem. But what can we expect if they are part of the wreck-em derbies in the dorms. Often there isn ' t the co-operation there should be, but with the right supervision this can be kept under control. The workers are not working extra-hard, but they are so great in number that the work-load is spread very thinly. The campus has been espec- ially tidy, but it requires a lot of work. This area should have hand-picked labourers for such a wide range. This system will improve with time and should be working well by next year. Top Left: John Hogarth sweep- ing hall.

another year, and the no vacancy sign is flashing outside the Campbell Hilton. Under the proprie- ip of Mac and Phil the house appears to be headed for an eventful year. Those of us who felt ss of Chris Grove last year at graduation, have taken heart at the rise of a prospective replacement: i Wilson. e dorms have been very good this year. In bottom dorm, a distinct smell of glue is present, although n claims that it is for his rocket. In middle dorm, the opposite occurs, and in between midnight swims, morning jogs, and the like, many plots and sub-plots are born. the old faithfuls, Tommy Tawo is still short, but he can now reach the top of the net. Blackie and Bill ever here when on duty, but they always have an excellent excuse! Wolfman Jack has won the award ae most original room; it was rumoured that an after hours disco might open. Also, we can claim re- ition for the first waterfall in any house, thanks to Rob Hick Haggarty. ■iously, the house has good spirit and we do have a number of boys on the Headmaster ' s Distinction n sports we have a fine selection of good athletes, but there are those who enjoy the better schedule ulti-Hack. We feel that if everyone contributes some of their talents to the benefit of the house, we to win the house cup. So, let ' s go Ketchum, show ' em we ' re better! Bethune House ontrary to popular belief, Bethune House is not a bad place to live. We ' ve got a lot going for us this r, I mean, why shouldn ' t we? We ' ve got half the United Nations here. Our tenants come from as far iy as Mexico, Lebanon, Czechoslovakia, the list would cover half the world ' s countries. )ur new boy crop definitely does not lack aggressiveness and seem to be participating in most activities ?red around the school. he variance of talent and character spread throughout the house is keeping masters Godfrey and Hed- active, but I don ' t think anyone would disagree if I said it ' s certainly adding to house spirit and build- up a certain level of unity. I think we ' ve got the right combination to make this a successful and en- able year in the house. One last note, we are determined not to finish last in the house competitions.
