THE PARK BENCH l7 ouse orc Martin Boom chicarackabee Boom yah yah House of Martin Rah! rah! rah! First in learning Sports and all Boom chicarackbee Boom yah yah This year, the members of the House of Martin, although not very successful in competition, showed a co-operative and sportsmanlike spirit toward all activities. Due to a poor turnout, Martin got off to a slow start with the first year track meet. Elida Larson was Martin's outstanding athlete, netting a large majority of our points. She was also runner-up for individual honours. Our soccer team was seriously handicapped due to the large number of Martin boys playing on the Senior Rugby team. Even with this difficulty, the boys displayed a fine house spirit and turned out faithfully to the games. Martinites are looking forward to a better season next fall. Q House basketball, under the capable direction of Mrs. Paul and Mr. Evans, en- joyed a highly successful season. The senior boys house team, coached by Bill Hughes, captured the inter-house title, and then beat Nutaria in the finals. The girls teams did not make such a good showing, but it was not for lack of interest. Better luck next year, girls. . Martin's biggest triumph Qfthe year came when after much hard work, we captured the inter-house dramatic cup with our play The Spider's Web , capably directed by Sheila Gordon. The cast, consisting of Neil Harris, Frank Hammond, Malcolm Macdonald, Muriel Draycott, Pat Speck, Thurston Bonney, and Aird Hogarth, ably upheld Martin's reputation in dramatics. In the Northern Provincial Drama Festival, held at the Regent Theatre, the Martin cast again took top honours. Although not quite so successful in the Provincial Drama Festival, held in Darke Hall, Regina, the cast was commended on its fine performance. Neil Harris, as the mad doctor, won the award for the best individual performance. We are all proud of the effort put forth by the cast and directors, and wish to offer them our hearty congratulations. We would like to suggest for future years that house hockey be revived, and that house curling be established. We are of the opinion that more activities like these would stimulate a greater house spirit. We wish, in closing, to thank all the members of the house of Martin for their interest and co-operation in house and school activities, and to express a hope for success in coming years. -BEATRICE EASTWOOD, HAROLD ESTEY.
