FRY HOUSE NOTES LTHOUGH Fry has not won the House Shield for a good many years we are still hoping to win it this year, as at the time of going to press we are in second place and each member is trying hard to bring our position up to first. Fry is indebted to Mary Hampson, who last year through her untiring efforts piloted the House through a very successful year. We are especially proud of Mimsy Cruikshank, Fry ' s shining light last year, for having won the coveted Summa Summarum award. We should also like to congratulate Barbara Kennedy for winning the Physical Training medal and Betty Hooper who won the Singles tennis championship and the tennis Doubles with Ethel Southam. Our house tennis team composed of Barbara Kennedy, Betty Hooper, Sheila Skelton, Mary Hampson, Mimsy Cruikshank and Hope Wattsford won the Interhouse Tennis Shield for the second time. We should like to take this opportunity of thanking the members of the team for duplicating the success of the previous year, and we hope that this year ' s team will make possible a three years ' consecutive win. Fry has also two members of the school tennis team this year, Barbara Kennedy and Betty Hooper; we were very glad to see that the school team reached the finals for the Interscholastic Tennis Trophy.
