SAMARA 17 We are proud to have such a distinctive Hst of prize winners, and offer them our heartiest congratulations. Our Badminton results are greatly improved as compared with those of former years. Much credit is due to Mary MacFarlane, who is a brilliant player. The Basketball matches have not been played yet, but we hope to win back the Basketball Cup, after having lost it to Nightingale last year. Elizabeth McClelland is Sports captain, and Pat Spendlove is her Vice. Our collections for the poor at Christmas, although very generous, did not quite reach the standard set by Nightingale. At Christmas we were very sorry to lose Pamela Mathewson, who was unable to return owing to ill health. Maria Petrucci also left us shortly before Easter. She has gone to live in Persia for several years, and we wish her the best of luck out there. Both these girls were officers and contributed a great many red stars to the house board. We welcome the newcomers to our house and hope they will live up to its ideals. To those who are leaving we wish the best of everything in the future. The House Teams: BASKETBALL First Team: P.

We should like to thank the Fry mistresses for all the assistance they gave us, both with the play and with the House Collections. Although our contributions for the collections for the poor were very generous they did not reach the same standard as Nightingale ' s. We were not very successful in House Sports last year, but we are trying to do better this year in badminton, basketball and tennis. Unfortunately the hockey matches were not completed. Barbara McClelland is our energetic and enthusiastic Games Captain, with Marjorie McKinnon as her able vice-captain.
