WEBSTER HOUSE MRS. B. BOND House Mistress MR. C. BELL House Master Not many words need be spilled over a great house like Webster. It is generally understood that competition from Websterites means defeat for the others. This has been obvious throughout the past year. Repeatedly our excellence in track has outshone other houses, especially among Webster’s junior high senior and varsity girls. Webster’s technique was well displayed when our Freshman girls emerged victorious in volley¬ ball. Again the determination and capability pf the junior high senior girls brought them victory in speedball, volleyball and basketball. On field day as well, Webster ' s name could not be avoided. In individual events we took quite a few ‘firsts ' , not forgetting the runners up. While praising the accomplishments of Websterites, I ' d like to give special thanks to my prefects, Nancy Hall, Laurel Blacker, Janie Pearson and June Singleton. Altogether I can justly say that this year has been a very good one for Webster and that all of us can be very proud to wear the colour and name that symbolizes a house of great spirit and vast potential. It is common knowledge around Churchill that Webster is the house. Though we may not win every year, we field the most talented and most spiritd teams. Of course when we do not win there is usually a good reason for it, and this year is no exception. The combination of the other house captains and the Phys. Ed. depart¬ ment pulled the ultimate this year. They mutil¬ ated the house system by cutting out at least half the sports; the ones at which Webster ex¬ celled. Thus we were forced to compete only in the sports which the other houses were capable of winning, or at least beating out Webster. This put tremendous pressure on even our great ath¬ letes, who still managed to win some events. For example, the boys number one Varsity basketball team captured the inter-House bas¬ ketball championship. Also, at Field Day, Keith Wasylik, Dick Zeeuwen, Warren Wasylik and Russ Ackland respectively, captured the first four places in the gruelling decathlon. This surely separated the real athletes from the misfits of other houses. I would like to thank my prefects, Keith Wasylik, Don Pincock, Tonni Buus and Victor Nishi who did a fine job in bringing out the multitudes of Webster supporters.

MR. R. LONGFIELD House Master SCURFIELD HOUSE MRS. C. WIGGINS House Mistress This year our house has slipped off the top rung of the ladder. But this accident was not due to a poor effort. Both boys and girls showed great enthusiasm in participating in the inter- House program. In basketball Scurfield showed its true class by literally sweeping all the titles in the boys sec¬ tion. With performances like this, one wonders if it is really possible that Scurfield came in second. A great deal of credit must be given to the prefects whose time and effort made possible our good showing all through the year. Field Day was a chance for Scurfield to dis¬ play its exciting athletes. Although we may not have had as many as other houses, our quality was naturally far superior. We fell short of top spot by only a few points. This rating, and.our rating as a whole, will no doubt return Scurfield to its place of prominence next year. A special thanks must be given to our House Master, Mr. Longfield, and House Mistress, Mrs. Wiggins. Perservance, tolerance, strength and sports¬ manship are qualities of Scurfield athletes. “The do or die, never say die house has made a terrific fight for the trophy. We illustrious ones can hold our heads up high and say WE did not let OUR house down. Remember Scurfieldites that none of the other houses colours can com¬ pare with our magnificent firery red. If any of the other houses would in future years like to guarantee THEIR success, it is advisable that they take our example and put forth their greatest (although feeble) efforts. Congratulations to you glorious athletes in Scurfield that won your classifications. Remember to keep up the good work and put the other houses to shame again next year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our house mistress, Mrs. Wiggins and our pre¬ fects Sheila Carlson (varsity), Suzanne Miller (freshman), Meredith Fawcett (cenior) and Char¬ lene Smuchilla (junior).
