SAMARA 15 KELLER HOUS E NOTES KELLER HOUSE NOTES HAST year Keller was victorious in the struggle for the shield, and a very close struggle it was. This year we are making valiant efforts to maintain our high standard but Fry and Nightingale are making it extremely difficult for us. At the closing last year the following members of Keller won distinction : — Louise MacBrien Philpot Token Mary Lee Pyke Senior Improvement Medal Janet Dobell Dramatics Prize Jean Perley- Robertson Dramatics Prize Barbara Whitley Short Story Medal (Presented by Mrs. Marling Gordon) Elizabeth McClelland Speech Prize (Presented by Dr. Wodehouse) Barbara Whitley Public Speaking Medal (Presented by Mr. J. Y. Murdoch) Jane Russel House Award Muriel Crocket Intermediate Sports Cup Muriel Crocket Long Jump Cup (Presented by Mr. N. E. Wilson) We are proud of these Kellerites and should like to congra- tulate them all. Unfortunately our Badminton results were not very good this year, but we hope to make up for this in Basketball. Last year we won the Basketball cup and are doing our best to repeat our success. Elizabeth McClelland is our energetic Sports Captain this year, and Peggy McLaren, Vice-Captain; we should like to thank them both for their untiring efforts.

16 SAMARA Our collections for the poor at Christmas, although very generous and meriting two red stars, did not quite come up to the standard set by Nightingale. — We were sorry that two enthusiastic new girls, Barbara Sellers and Jane Smith, had to leave us for a while and we hope to have them back next year; we were sorry to lose Esther Wilkes also. We welcome as our youngest member Clair Perley- Robertson. We hope that those who are returning next year will con- tinue to be enthusiastic and devoted members of Keller; to those who are leaving we wish the best of luck. Members of the house this year are: — MoiR A Le ATHEM House Prefect Alison Cochrane Prefect Elizabeth McClelland .Prefect Peggy McLaren House Senior Barbara Whitley Monitor Elizabeth Hanson Monitor Dorothy Leggett Monitor Rosemary Clarke Monitor Term II Betty Hamilton Monitor Term I Louise MacBrien Monitor Term I Beatrice Black, Gaye Douglas, Penelope Sherwood, Elizabeth Bryan, Susan Edwards, Jane Smith, Eleanor Carson, Nancy Lane, Patricia Spendlove, Peggy Clark, Pamela Mathewson, Diana Vernon, Muriel Crocket, Maria Petrucci, Sarah Wallace, Nancy Doane, Barbara Sellers, Esther Wilkes, Clair Perley- Robertson. Mistresses — Miss Elliott, Miss Adams, Miss Rosier, Mrs. Murphy. FRY HOUSE NOTES E are trying hard to put Fry ' s name up on the House Shield this year as it has not been there for a long time! Our efforts seem more likely to be successful too, as at the moment we are leading in red stars. We must win it this time. Fry! Last year we were quite successful in sports, and our thanks are due to our keen and energetic Sports Captains, Barbara Ken- nedy and Betty Hboper. In addition to the Tennis Shield and Badminton Cup, Fry won the Sports Cup for the greatest number of points on Sports Day. The Senior and Junior Sports Cups were both won by members of Fry — Barbara Kennedy and B. B. Fraser. Also, Barbara Kennedy and Ailsa Gerard (Nightingale) won the Senior Doubles, and Melodic Willis O ' Connor and Shirley Geldert (Nightingale) the Junior Doubles in the school tennis tournament. We did not manage to win the badminton this year, but we are going to try to do better in other sports before June. We should like to congratulate all the members of Fry who won prizes at the closing last year.
