SAMARA 11 KELLER HOUSE NOTES WE members of Keller returned to school in September with high hopes for the coming year and with determination to live up to our motto Fair Play and main- tain our high ideals. The eight new girls and juniors who entered the house made our number eighteen; they immediately pulled their weight with the old girls to bring Keller success. Not only Keller but also the whole school was deprived of a friend when Miss Graham left for England with the St. John Ambulance Brigade shortly after Christmas. Miss Graham always gave us her help and support and we miss her a great deal. Although we were leading the race for the house shield until Easter, we were beaten by Fry in the last lap by only a few stars. One of Keller ' s aims was reached, however, when we took first place in the house plays. Our play was Perchance to Dream and we can assure you that pie plates thrown down the back stairs made a very realistic sound-effect for a train wreck. Keller also came second to Fry in the house collections. We gained two of our biggest victories in the sports field by winning both the Badminton Cup and the Tennis Shield for the fourth time in succession. Unfortunately we were soundly trounced by Nightingale and Fry on Sports Day but we came a close second to Nightingale in the battle for the Basketball Shield.

12 SAMARA NIGHTINGALE HOUSE NOTES NIGHTINGALE finished the year 1943- 44 with colours flying, receiving with justifiable satisfaction both the House Shield and the Sports Shield. This June, although we lost the House Shield to Fry, we re-won the Sports Shield, thus keeping up Nightin- gale ' s excellent sports tradition. Judy Nesbitt and Shelagh Nolan are to be especially com- mended for their excellent showing in stars. In house collections at Christmas, we were outshone by Keller and Fry but much to our delight our play, House Full was chosen to be put on at the Bazaar. With Paula Peters as Sports Captain and Pat Ballantyne as Vice Sports Captain we have gone into Badminton, Tennis and Basketball enthusiastically if not always successfully. Keller won the Badminton and Tennis and after the winter we finally emerged as victors in junior and senior Basketball. We would like to welcome all the new girls to the house and commend them for the admirable way they have lived up to our House Motto, Non Nobis Solum — Not for Ourselves Alone. We also want to wish the very best of luck to all who have left the school and Nightingale this year, and to those lucky ones who are left go our best wishes and the hope that they will be as fond and proud of Nightingale as we have been.
