Dear Kellerites: Once again it is June. Our exams are over and we ' re all looking forward to a long relaxing summer. But just before we leave, let us look back on the past year. It just seems like yesterday when we were trying to persuade all the new girls to join Keller, the best House; and certainly this year you have proved Keller to be just that. Our first victory was the House Day speech, followed by the House Collections. We also came first in the basketball, and the second team volleyball. Our only loss was a close second as Night- ingale won the first team volleyball. Last, but by no means least, we came first in the House Plays. Our play this year was Barbara ' s Wedding by J. M. Barrie. I could go on all day talking about how each and everyone of you contributed to Keller this year, but my space is limited. Just remember one thing for next year. Not everybody can contribute to Keller academ- ically and athletically, but as long as you do your best to do something, it helps. Everything counts, good or bad. But on the whole, forgetting all the mistakes, you have been a wonderful group, the best! The House spirit has been tremendous! I only hope you stay that way next year and are as good a House for your new Head as you have been for me. I was very proud to be Head of Keller this year and to next year ' s Head and to you ail, I wish the very best of luck.

This year Fry welcomed eight new girls into her House and all helped to live up to our motto Friendship to all. We tied for second place with Nightingale in the House Collections and I am sure the Salvation Army was pleased with our effort. One Day More by Joseph Conrad was our choice for our House Play. The night of the play the audience ' s attention was divided between watching our play and a small fire in the curtains! Diane Manion received Honourable Mention for her per- formance that night. In sports, although we did not win any basketball games, our teams improved a great deal under the direction of our House Sport ' s Captain, Ruth Petrie. Heather Blaine won the Senior Public Speaking Contest this year. I would l ike to take this opportunity to thank all Fry House Members for their co-operation and ex- cellent House spirit and to wish them luck for the coming year.

A This year, Nightingale has wel- comed several new members. Although you would never guess it now, they were once new girls, perhaps not ex- actly bewildered, but just a little con- fused. Now, however, they are just like the old girls — absolutely lost. Lost? Not really. Far from it. Nightingale came first in the Senior Volleyball, played during the fall term. Just before Christmas, we tied with Fry for second place in the House Collections. We came second to Keller in basketball, such an exciting game, it took weeks for everyone ' s fingernails to grow back! We ran a very close second to Keller in the House Plays. Our presentation was Fumed Oak, and Julie Kingstone ' s portrayal of Mrs. Rockett won her the top acting award. Sandi deserves a pat on the back, too. She nearly lost her voice, but kept on like a real trouper. It was a lot of fun, though; all the girls were just wonderful, including the stage- hands. That was a delightful grey backdrop for the orange curtains. We just wished we could do another play right away. We all miss Linda Redpath, and we can only hope she ' ll come to see us often. It somehow just hasn ' t seemed the same without someone to toss chalk during house meetings anymore. Nightingale ' s motto is Not for ourselves alone, and we like to believe that, though still far from perfect, each year we come a little closer to living up to this motto. Everyone has shown terrific House spirit this year in Nightingale, and if there were time and space to praise and thank each girl individually we would. This year has been grand. Thanks, everyone, for helping to make it so. Best of luck to all, and may next year be even better yet!
