KELLER HOUSE NOTES EOR several years Keller has held second place in the Com- petition for the House Shield, but we are determined this year to better our previous records. We greatly appreciated the beautiful picture which Dr. Doughty and Sybil presented to our House. It is a water- colour of Elmwood and Mrs. Buck ' s house, done by Sherriff Scott, and we shall treasure it very much. Last year we were very proud to have Anne Coghlin win the Music Medal: this year Alix Chamberlain, the head of our House, is one of the two competitors, and we wish her every success. At Christmas we were fortunate in collecting the greatest number of clothes and supplies for the poor, giving us first place in competition with the other Houses, and for this we won five red stars. Peggy Waldie is our School Games Captain and through her energy and keenness we have improved in games. Peggy is also a valuable member of the Tennis team. Our Senior Team did very well in Basket-ball last Autumn and we wish to congratulate them. Keller triumphed in the Inter-House Badminton and we are very pleased to be the first house to win the Cup. Alix Chamberlain won her stripe for gym, and a number of posture-girdles have been awarded to members of the House. The House members for this year are: Alix Chamberlain.. House Senior, Head of House and House Sports Captain Peggy Waldie House Senior and School Games Captain Moira Leathem Monitor

12 SAMAR A NIGHTINGALE HOUSE NOTES HAST year Nightingale had the good fortune to win the Shield, and this year each girl has earnestly done her share to attain red stars. Harriet Mathias won the great distinction of having her name added to the Summa Summarum Board, last year. We are most fortunate to have Genevieve Bronson as one of our house members. She greatly contributes to our Star; board, and last year she was presented with the Philpot Token, a great honour to herself and her house. Last June Rosa Johnson kept the Nightingale colours flying by winning the Senior Sports Cup, and Winsome Hooper following her good example won the Junior. We were also lucky enough to win the Basket-Bali Cup. The season for Basket-Bali is not yet over this year, but in the Autumn the competition was keen, and we just managed to come out top by one game. The deciding match will be played this term. We should like to congratulate Mary Kingsmill and Elizabeth Symington on being two out of the four girls to be awarded a gym stripe. Congratulations also to Ethel Southam who played up splendidly on the school tennis team. At Christmas we had house plays, which were all exceedingly good. Much to our delight our play came first, but Fry ran us a very close second. Badminton held our interest after Christmas, and the matches were very exciting. Keller got the honours, and we came one point behind.

FRY HOUSE NOTES EOR the last few years Fry has not succeeded in winning the House Shield but at the time of publication we are in second place. Come on, Fry, let ' s have it this time!! Last year Theodosia Bond, head of Fry, was awarded the Betty Gordon Gold Medal for her short story entitled Rewards . She also was presented with the Dramatic Medal for her remarkable work during the year. Marjorie Mackinnon, one of our younger members, was the winner of the Junior High Endeavour Award. Our house tennis team won the Interhouse Tennis Matches and we want to thank Betty Harris, Betty Hooper, Hope Wattsford, Barbara Kennedy, Hazel Ross and Betty Brown, who were the members of the team. In the School Tennis Tournament, Betty Hooper and Barbara Kennedy brought us honours once more. The former won the Senior Singles and both the Doubles. May they retain it this June. Unfortunately our Badminton results were not very good this winter but the team did their best and showed great enthusiasm in the game. We are proud of our three members who are on the school tennis team — Betty Hooper, Hope Wattsford and Barbara Kennedy (substitute for Ethel Southam). We hope that they will succeed once more in winning the Interscholastic Tennis Trophy as soon as the weather permits the first match to be played. We want to thank our Games Captain, Betty Hooper, and her vice, Barbara Kennedy, for their enthusiasm and help in our games. Through their able coaching and the many practices, we are hoping to get nearer to the top in Basket-ball this year. At the Christmas party each house produced a play. Ours was entitled The Dear Departed . Through the kindness of Miss Barrow our acting improved considerably, and we took second place, Miriam Cruikshank, Hope Gilmour and Melodie Willis O ' Connor getting a mention for their performances. We also want to congratulate Miss Barrow, one of our House Mistresses, for her splendid performance in Marco Millions , which took second place in the Dominion Drama Festival.
