S A i l A R A Celled iM ' Q ' pUje Note RETURNING this September we were glad to be able to welcome Miss Briggs, the new girls and many junior girls who joined our ranks. At Christmas, renewing the Elmwood cus- tom of house plays, Keller produced The Rehearsal and The Valiant, and ith these we came second. In fact, Keller has managed to come second in all events, including the House Collections. In sports we got a second in both Junior and Senior Basketball, and our Badminton and Tennis teams put up a good fight to re- main second. Keller is proud to have two members, So- fia Setton and Lucinda Crozier, in the school basketball team, which returned victorious after playing Hatfield Hall. As Head of the House, I should like to take this opportunity to thank Keller for their co-operation throughout the school year and their readiness to live up to our House motto — Fa V Play ' . The House members this year are: Head of the House — Sascha Alavor House Senior — Lucinda Crozier Monitors — Betsy Alexandor, Barbara Gibson Sofia Setton. House Members — Gail Baird, Shirley Smith Andrea Hadley, Wendy Quain, Pat Knowl- ton, Diane Boyd, Mary Frances Matthewman, Elizabeth Wijkman, Shelagh Macoun, Lynne Mayburry, Felicity Giles, Jennifer Wool- combe.

8 SAMARA SF.PTKMBER found Fry with sadly depleted ranks. Aiiss Chappell, one of our staunch members, and very dear to Fry, returned to Japan in the Fall, and we were hard pressed to fill the gap she and the graduating class left among us. We have, however, fared ad- mirably with the aid and support of the two new mistresses, Miss Smith and iMiss Jennifer Philbrick, and the many new girls A ' hom we welcomed into the house. The time-honoured custom of House Plays Competition was revived, after a year ' s lapse, in December, and with our presentation of the first act of Thorton VVilder ' s Our Town, we managed to edge out Nightingale and Keller for first place. In the House Collec- tions too, M ' c saw Fry win a coveted first place, due, needless to say, to hours of fever- ish knitting on the part of all. Success was ours also in the Sports Field. Under the very able guidance of Judy Mc- CuUoch, we managed to sweep the field of both Senior and Junior Badminton and Bas- ketball honours. These victories were ours as a result of many hours of practice after school, and house spirit. We also, in Septem- ber, won the inter-house tennis tournament. Fry can boast a memorable and happy year, and for myself as Head of the House, a very proud one. There has been the fullest co-op- eration and heart-felt house spirit behind Fry ' s activities. We are very sorry that Alannah Busk was absent for the photographs of the House Teams, and therefore her place is filled by a substitute.
