SAMARA 9 THIS year Fry has been the largest ever, filled mostly with new intermediates. At Christmas we lost Penny Staebler and gained Elizabeth A4acKenzie, Helena von Numers, Wendy Carter and Pam Cawdron. Lauretta Landymore returned to us from England after a year ' s absence. Staff advisers were A4iss Davison, Miss Maxwell, Miss Perry and Mrs. Stephen. Mrs. Bruce was our chief adviser until Easter when the promotion to her present position pre- vented her from remaining in Fry. We should like to thank the staff for lending their advice to our domestic problems. We are extremely proud to have placed first this year in both the House Collections and the House Plays. This was due to the wonderful house spirit of all the girls. The captivating performance by the cast in Campbell of Kilmohr deserves particular recognition. Gillian Neville, Emilie van der Vaart and Gail La Charity won special awards for outstanding acting ability. We should like to thank the girls who gave their time and talent to the making of the scenery for this Scottish tragedy. This year the junior school was divided into Pre-Houses and these girls contributed toward the House Collections. In January a House Party was given by the house for their benefit— this consisted of movies, tea, and games in the gym. Gillian Neville has been our keen sports captain. Although we did not excell in sports during the first two terms, we are hoping to do much better on Sports Day. I should like at this time to express my thanks to the members of Fry for their whole- hearted co-operation which made this year such a success.

10 SAMARA Keller Jlo44,le filotel KELLER received a great many new girls in the fall and a number throughout the year. This year we returned to our old custom of having staff members in houses. We have initiated a new thing at Elmwood by having Pre-Houses. Keller had a wonderful junior partner in Pre-Keller , which consisted of a number of the younger girls. On January 28 Keller gave a party for Pre-Keller. This was an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other better. Our entry in the annual inter-house drama competition was a comedy called The Man with a Bowler Hat . We tied for second place with Nightingale, and Joan Fagan received an award for outstanding acting. Unfortunately we only came third in the House Collections which were given to the Canadian Save the Children Fund. Keller tied with Fry for first place in soccer and we came first in the junior bad- minton tournament. We placed second in junior and senior basketball and senior bad- minton. We would like to thank both Keller and Pre-Keller for working hard and upholding our motto Fair Play during the year. Heads of House: Prefects: Sheila McCormick, Joan Campbell. Prefect: Joan Fagan.

THE enrolment of Nightingale House in September exceeded that of any other year, and we had the pleasure of wel- coming several new teachers as well as many new girls to our ranks. During the year Night- ingale excelled itself in excellent house and team spirit. Our play The Dear Departed , and our house collections both took a second, as we were not quite good enough to beat Fry although the girls tried hard. Nightingale showed a flair for sports during all three terms and with Sue Hislop as our able sports captain, we won both Junior and Senior Baskeball, also the volleyball. Joan Maynard once again topped the senior badminton.
