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.

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.

Ah! This year Webster fell victim to a das tardly plot. The other houses, with premedita¬ tion, joined forces in using unsportsmanlike tac tics to push Webster to an all-time low. We ended up in third place this year, which if yo u look at the record of Hodges House (they even got some points) is really last place. To illustr ate the malicious methods employed by the other houses, one of our people spied upon a Muir head agent who was placing lead weights in Webster track shoes on field day. For shame! Something must be done. In spite of all this plotting against us, the Webster girls managed to stay honest and proud. Thus they won just about all of the girl ' s inter-house sports. Sincere congratulations must be extended to all of them. The boys, however, were not so lucky. They fought hard, but to make sure that they didn ' t win, the other houses never let the flag-football league finish. When they did have to play against us during the league, they made sure of victory by importing players from Green Bay. Naturally the boys of the royal blue would have won inter-house basketball if the other houses had let the league get started. What poor losers! BUT NEVER FEAR; WE SHALL OVERCOME! We wish to thank our prefects who were like loyal Roman warriors in their duties: Varsity— Carroll Maxwell and Tom Poff, Intermediate—June Singleton and Vic Nishi, Junior—Nancy Tate and Tom Haines, Primary—Phyllis Wallin and Darryl Dewar.
