MR. CURRiE House Master MISS McCRINDLE House Mistress The mighty house of Muirhead has triumphed once again. The superior athletes have again combined to win the house trophy by a devastating margin. All opposition has been smashed into submission by the powerful athletes of Muirhead and all that remains is for the glorious name of Muirhead” to be engraved in its rightful place on the house trophy. The triumph by Muirhead came as a surprise to no one, for as far back as September when the first house meeting was called to elect the captains and prefects, it was evident that all of the house members were superior athletes. It did not take long for this to be proven, for soon Muirhead was romping over all opposition in flag football. The other houses became so discouraged that soon they did not bother coming, for they realised that there was no way which they could possibly defeat Muirhead. In a way it was fortunate that Muirhead was graced with such a superior class of athletes, for when inter-house basketball was started, the other house captains took one look at the names signed up under Muirhead and decided to concede the title to us. The glorious athletes of Muirhead were not satisfied with merely participating in inter¬ house sports, but they also formed the nucleus of the much heard about Bulldog football and varsity basketball teams. In co-ed volleyball Muirhead No. 1 met with little competition as they went through the tournament undefeated. In the last major activity of the athletic year, field day, Muirhead literally ran away from all the opposition and sewed up the house trophy with an impressive victory. Many thanks must go to the M uirhead prefects who worked so hard for our great house. Boys—John Rigby, Keith Motts, Pat Budd and Don Paulus. Girls—Sue Barber, Pat McGee, Ada Olsen and Sheila Porter.

The House System, this year, took another step backward and Hodges followed suit. In the boys section, only two activities were taken into account, volleyball and field day. In co-ed volleyball Hodges finished strong and placed second, but the other sports fell through before th-e finals took place. This lack of Inter-House activities results directly from lack of support and lack of Inter-House spirit. The girls, especially in Junior High, have shown more strength than any other section of the house, and if the house system remains intact, the future for Hodges looks bright. However, no Junior High events were counted in the final total. The inter-house trophy was won almost entirely on field day this year. With a little warmer weather Hodges would have done much better and obtained more points. Hodges house was at its greatest when the house system was strong. As the house system has lost its power, so has Hodges. If the system finds new life and strength, so will Hodges and the Jolly Green Giants will once again be on top. I would like to thank the prefects of Hodges ■—- Michele Brown, Sharon Pilkey, Susan Ready, Yvonne Clements, Rick Wait, Gordon Oiiphant, Larry Loshiavo and Ron McLaughlin.

SCU RFI ELD mm Mrs. Wiggins House Mistress MR. McKAY House Master Although the “Mighty Red didn ' t win the house trophy, we came in a close second. The only reason we did as well as we did , is that the girls of Scurfield got out there and played to win. In basketball both the varsity and freshmen won their divisions. With the new addition of “Moon Mullen to our house victory was easy. In volleyball we did quite well also. The fresh¬ men outshone the varsity by winning their division and the varsity only came up with second place. The girls proved that Scurfield was a great house, but due to lack of support the boys failed to help bring the house trophy home where it belongs. Everyone who wears the Redis proud. We are all wondering if Mr. Taylor ever passed Grade 6 maths and learned to add. I ' m sure he forgot some of our points. I’d like to thank “Bouncy Betty” and “Sweet Denise for their help, and all the great girls that wear the Mighty Red colours. Although th boys tried hard to help win the trophy, there weren’t enough interested to support boys ' sport. Th masculine “Mighty Red tried their hardest but to no avail. Next year let s get all the Scurfield supporters out there and “Sock it to the house trophy.
