SAMARA 7 KELLER HOUSE NOTES LAST year Keller succeeded in winning the House Shield, and so far this year we are leading by a small number of stars. We are working hard and hope to put our name on the shield again this year. We would especially like to thank Janet Edwards for putting so many red stars on the board at Christmas. This Christmas our collections for the poor did not quite reach the standard set by the other two houses, but our play Black- out was a great success so we presented it at the Christmas bazaar. We were very sorry to lose Mary Cuth- bertson at Christmas. She has gone to live in Washington, and we wish her the best of luck. We would like to congratulate last years prize winners: Ann Murray — Junior High Endeavour Barbara Watson — Proficiency Prize Susan Liesching — Music Medal Janet Edwards — Art Prize Barbara Watson — Current Events Cup Anne Binks — Writing Prize Jessie Gilmour — Intermediate Sports Cup Anne Binks and Jessie Gilmour — Inter- mediate Tennis Doubles Jessie Gilmour — Intermediate Tennis Singles Winnifred Cross — Special Dramatic Prize Ann Murray — Posture Girdle. We are very pleased to welcome all the new girls and hope they will carry on our fine tradition and live up to our house motto, ' ' Ex Aequa et Bona, or Fair Play. To those who are leaving, we wish the best of everything in the future. Members of the house this year are: Joan Creighton — Head of House Ann Croil — Prefect Nancy Kennedy — Prefect Anne Binks — House Senior Anne Powell — House Senior Nancy Bowmian — Monitor Nancy Paterson — Monitor Sarah Wallace — Monitor Jackie Bishop, Anne Chisnell, Patsy Drake Janet Edwards, Elizabeth Gilchrist, Jessie Gilmour, Noreen Haney, Suzanne Mess, Phillipa McLaren, Ann Murray, Penelope Sherwood, Jane Viets, Bobby Watkins, Jacqueline Workman. Staff: Miss Adams, Miss Edgar, Miss Graham, Mile Juge, and Mr. McTavish. Under the able leadership of Ann Croil, our Sport ' s Captain, and Jessie Gilmour our Vice-Captain, we managed to win the Senior Basketball Cup this fall. The Junior teams tied and so we will have to play again in the Spring. Our tennis team looks very promising and as Keller has not succeeded in winning the tennis shield for a great many years, we hope to do so this year. We are very proud to have three members of Keller, Noreen Haney, Anne Powell, and Jessie Gilmour, on the school tennis team which won the interscholastic tennis championship in the fall. We have done very well in Badminton this year, losing only one match. The House teams are as follows: BASKETBALL Senior Centre Forward Centre Guard Forwards Guards Centre Forward Centre Guard Forwards Guards — Ann Croil — Joan Creighton Bobby Watkins Jacqueline Workman Anne Powell Jessie Gilmour Noreen Haney Anne Binks Sarah Wallace Nancy Bowman Junior — Janet Edwards — Mary Cuthbertson Ann Murray Jane Viets Penelope Sherwood Philippa McLaren Anne Chisnell BADMINTON First Singles — Noreen Haney Second Singles — Bobby Watkins First Doubles — ( Bobby Watkms Anne Powell Janet Edwards Second Doubles- TENNIS First Singles — Noreen Haney Second Singles — Anne Powell First Doubles Second Doubles- Noreen Haney Anne Powell Jessie Gilmour Anne Binks.
