8 SAMARA THIS year Fry House found itself entirely w ithout any seniors, the highest officers being in VI Matric. However, this ab- sence of hierarchy makes us an extremely democratic house, with the most Junior mem- ber pulling her weight with the most Senior. The year started somewhat slowly with our knitting team coming in last in the House Collections, and our Junior Basketball team last in the Inter-house Basketball matches. How- ever, matters looked up as the Senior Basket- ball team came second in the Senior matches. We are pleased to note Fry members won the school Badminton Senior Singles and Junior Doubles. In the Inter-house Badminton Tour- naments, Fry seniors came second and— allow me to express thankfulness— our Juniors came first. House Members House Head— Mary Burns. Sports Captain— Rhonna Curtis.

Through the wavy sea of sand, A lonely rider comes in sight; He has been travelling day and night. His camel too looks thin and worn; They must have passed through many a storm. I called to him as he drew near. But not an answer did I hear. I watched amazed as he drew nigh; But only did I hear a sigh. And then he passed along his way, Travelling, travelling all the day. O ' er the barren desert land. Through the wavy desert land, A lonely rider fades away, And he will travel night and day. Lambie Steven, IVA Fry

SAMARA 7 Celled Jtau6 J latel IN September we welcomed Miss Hull and seven new girls into our midst. All soon became staunch members of Keller and along with the old members, began imme- diately to live up to our House motto— Fair Play ' . Thanks to the zealous efforts of all the House, we won the House Collections, and are ahead in stars, so far. The sports this year are under the efficient supervision of Pat Knowlton and Diane Boyd, who is also Sports Captain of the whole school. Everyone enters into all sports most energetically, and as a result we won the Senior Basketball, coming second in the Junior. After keen competition, we managed to obtain first place in the inter- house matches. I should like to thank all members of Keller for their diligent efforts, both in their work and on the playing field, to bring success to our House. By always working extremely hard, they have lived up to, not only our House motto, but also to that of the school— Summa Summarum . House Members Head of House— Betsy Alexander.

A Quick Change The racket is deafening, with the slam of the door. Pencils, erasers, and books on the floor. The occupants shouting and running upstaii ' s. Sprawled on the desks and jumping on chairs. Now silence descends, while pencils and books Are retrieved from the floor, and with innocent looks The orderly class for attention hard strives As the formidable presence of teacher arrives. W. Quain, VI Matric. Keller
