Small trees and cedar branches were looted from somewhere, and streamers of crepe paper and even pop can keys were everywhere. All to lend the festive touch. But we were sweep- ing pine needles for weeks. Among the House sights were Pat Oakley cuddling his tuba, making the most hideous squawks with it; Jeff Norton in German hel- met practicing his epee; Andrew Hougie ' s in- gress via a drainpipe, and egress habitually by the fire escape. Nothing so mundane as the back door could suit Andrew. Finally there was Peter Hempsall ' s mod bicycle which nestled cosily beside his pillow. It all lent zest to life, however. To conclude I must offer thanks to Mr. Davies and Mr. Yorath for their help this year, John Schinbein as Head of House, and Ian Harvie, Peter Hempsall, and John Stump Wilson were of great help and assistance. To them I am most grateful. During recent weeks Andy Raphael, Stephen Cooke and Alex Speers rendered yeoman service as House Monitors. D.P. 24

HOPE HOUSE Another year of Hope House history comes to its close. With its passing one recalls how from September to Summer life often in- volved the House and assistants, along with prefects in considerable mental stress wonder- ing just what would be thought of next. I of- ten think that the basis of House life lies in the individuality of its members, and it is the ra- tional expression and adjustment of that indiv- iduality which makes House life interesting. We had a number of such individualists - and there was never a dull moment. While it is difficult for any heterogeneous group of youngsters nearly all new to boarding school life, to mould •closely into a strong work- ing unit, this problem was exceptionally dif- ficult during the current year of the House as a whole. Homesickness was, as usual, present among some, but by and large all was well, con- siderably before the end of the Fall term. Opening day found the House in pristine state: new bunks had built-in drawers and gla- morous tiling on the floors had replaced our problem carpets. Great was the Housemaster ' s relief when he realised that no longer would he hear Sir, dorm eleven won ' t give up the carpet sweeper! - said implements having a life span of about three months - the handle disintegrating first! A memorable occurrence this year was a small group of Grade Eights who went once a week to the Cathedral in Victoria, to practice bell-ringing. No one hanged himself, although Greg Stewart distinguished the occasion by managing to break his arm. Among other ev- ents was the sudden penchant for decorating the dorms a la Turk. Rooms were festooned with blankets, beds became tents, lights were heavily shaded, even painted an alarming shade of red. One practically had to carry a flashlight to identify the occupants. Then of course, there was Christmas!!! 23
