The last lads walk out through the stony gates to join the ghosts of CoUey House. Reunited, they can grumble about the faulty wiring which caused hghts to bhnk on and off like the gaudy neons of strip joints; they can complain about the paint which flaked from the walls and ceilings like skin from a leper; they can moan about the beds which left them sway- backed, the chairs gave them piles, the radiators which caused them to scream in frustration and despair when they were awakened at 3:00 A.M. by a sound like a train passing overhead; they can compare the degrees of innocence and sensitivity lost when as pink new boys they first experienced the stark shower-rooms and toilets. But, hke the words of an old song heard too often, these complaints become meaningless, fading instead into a vague sense of loss. For this year, and in years past, Colley House stood alone, by virtue of the people in it and especially by virtue of its great housemaster. Despite the living conditions, which no one notices after the first week an way, the memories held are good ones - a tribute to all who lived in it. Thanks. Graham Leggat

Powell ' s House The task of keeping sixty boys, who are forced to live together, in good spirits, is a difficult one. In fact this goal would have been un- reachable if it had not been for our housemaster ' s help and the co- operation of most of the house. In his first try at the job, Mr. Landry was extremely successful (and somewhat exhausted.) The House pulled through some difficult times, (images of a Clouseau-like figure prowling about come to mind) and likely emerged stronger for the experience. Co-operation and high spirits were notable qualities of Powell ' s House, for while we were not blessed with the best group of ath- letes, the strong support and parti- cipation we showed enabled us to win most inter-house events. We had a good group of prefects this year with Bill Benson as head of house, and they all played a large role in our success. Thanks to Mrs. Landry, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and all who helped make this year one which we can remember happily. Good Luck in the future. Mike Kent
