Colley House I have been told that this note should be light and humourous. Much as I would like to make you chuckle, this will probably be very straight - but short. First of all I must tell you how very much my family and I have enjoyed this year. We have some fond memories. Some we can share, like the evening this win- ter when Graham Kolle, after being pelted with snow, chased and rubbed snow in his assailant ' s face, only then to realize it was Mrs. Washington. She deserved it. I don ' t think I shall ever forget standing at the end of the 4-bedder deck in the middle of a raging pillow fight, having my presence noted and seeing the hall suddenly vacated, apart from young Danny Yustin, who was dealt one final blow with a pillow from Bruce Boyd, who suddenly leapt from his room. Some memories are very per- sonal; small, seemingly in- significant things, like a smile or a look or a few words spoken at just the right time. We had two enjoyable parties this year. One at Christmas, the highlight of which was some fine entertainment by some of our talented members, including Mr. Larsen, who told us of his Nor- wegian Grandfather, the inventor of 6-Up and phonetic punc- tuation. We have booked Mr. Lar- sen for a return engagement next December. The barbecue at the year ' s end was also fun, although we had a little trouble lighting the coals. As usual the coals were perfect about one hour af- ter we had finished! I must remember that next year. Kerry has probably told you about our laundromat and pizza business, (thanks to the donation of appliances by Mrs. Morrison), but he may not have mentioned our Art Gallery. It is located in the hall of the 4-bedder deck. At present we have two paintings - a 4 ' x8 ' lake and woodland scene by Jim Hou and a 4 ' x4 ' mountain and woodland scene by Dave Morrison. We are very proud of these fine paintings and we hope that other artists in the School will make contributions in the future. In all respects it has been a suc- cessful and a happy year. We have been fortunate to have Prefects who were firm but fair, who tried to be consistent and do what they thought to be right and who, when they made mistakes were prepared to acknowledge them and tried to rectify them. Most of all we have a fine group of boys who like and respect each other and who are prepared to give of their very best. I am very proud of them, one and all. J. Washington Let the first house be first. This has been one of Colley house ' s better years. The people in the house put great enthusiasm into everything they did, and we ac- complished a lot. When we raided Powell ' s house and gutted the inside ' this was Colley house ' s finest hour ' . Un- fortunately we received ' bloody hell ' from J. Wal. At Christmas we gave our glorious housemaster an alarm clock so he could get up early in the morning. We have yet to see him rise to the occasion. We have a few dignitaries in the house this year. Among them Doc Halliday and the Mad bomber and Radar . We initiated the Colley house Riviera, where you can soak up the Malibu Rays . We became Chinese and Italians at the same time with our laundromat and pizzeria. But to be serious for a moment, We are the greatest . We have a housemaster who can juice-tify anything we say. The spirit in Colley house this year was something special. We played together in all our sports and worked for high academic standards, probably the house ' s most successful year in that field. But what Colley house is really noted for, is its own type of spirit. The people never quit. This is something that Colley house will always hang on to. It ' s been a great year and many thanks to all the people in the house. And on behalf of the house I would like to thank Mr. Washington for his leadership and standards. Kerry Cantle 137
