8 SAMARA FRY HOUSE NOTES LTHOUGH Fry has not been very f— I fortunate with regard to stars this year, we hope that our House members have hved up to the House Motto Societas Humana Friendship to All. We welcomed a number of new girls into the House. Among them were several quite young members whom we are very glad to have and whom we are sure will be a credit and good example to their House. We followed the Fry tradition and included every member of the House in the Christmas play which we were fortunate enough to win. Our House Collection too was especially generous, but Keller beat us! Last year many among us won prizes and we should like to congratulate them: Philpot Token Mackie Edwards Improvement Medal Pat. O ' Donnell 2nd Dramatic Medal Gloria Vaughan Physical Training Medal . . . Joan Daniels Senior Tennis, Doubles. . . .Joan Daniels Long Jump Cup Ann Shaw Inter. Tennis Doubles Susan Kenny Posture Girdles JP ' Thomson [Diana Giii Tennis Shield Fry Under the able guidance of Frances Bell our Sports Captain, and Susan Kenny our Vice-Captain, so far this year we are ahead in the Basketball series and are hoping to come out victorious.

We welcome Miss Stewart, Miss Russel and Miss Firth and we should like to take this opportunity of thanking them and Miss Mills for helping us with our Christmas play and House Collection, as well as for their help throughout the year. We appre- ciate it very much indeed. To those who are leaving us we wish every joy and success in the future. We ask those who are returning next year to con- tinue the fine traditions of Fry.

SAMARA 7 Our Nasic Cot collection, which is used to keep a cot in a Hospital for Sick Ch ildren in India, topped any previous record. We are very glad to be able to continue this, because the fund was inaugurated by an Elmwood old girl some time ago. We are at present collecting for the Refugees and we are sure that this appeal will be as generously answered as the pre- vious appeals have been.

It is not an exaggeration to say that, in every sense, she lived up highly to our House Motto: Non Nobis Solum, Not for Ourselves Alone. We sincerely wish her happiness in the future. In welcoming new members to Night- ingale, and in taking leave of old ones, may we express the hope that they will carry on the fine tradition of our House patroness, Florence Nightingale. This year, our badminton team had the good luck to be as successful as last year, winning the cup without losing a match, but in the Inter-House basketball and the activities at Christmas, we were not so fortu- nate.

' Bon voyage ' to Beryl Cadogan, who ex- pects to sail in June for Merry England — and home. June is at hand, and we are determined to make a great effort to win the Sports Cup and the House Shield. Good luck. Nightingale! Mary Paterson. KELLER HOUSE NOTES LAST year Keller was fortunate in win- ning the House Shield and so far this year we are again leading in stars. At Christmas we maintained our high standard by winning the House Collections award and by coming second in the House Plays. So keep it up, Keller!
