S A A [ A R A 9 ' ?Cetlc% auii.e ate ALTHOUGH quite a few of our old girls left us last year, we were very fortunate in having over ten new girls to ably fill up the ranks. Starting off the year with true Keller spirit, we captured first place in the House Days, and tied for first in the House Collections. Our play this year, Miracle at Blaise by Josephina Niggli, came a close second, with Carolyn Strauss and Susan Southam winning the best supporting actress awards, and Joan Berry receiving an honourable mention. The rest of the cast, stage hands and all who helped are really to be congratulated on the won- derful effort and house spirit that went into our Keller production. Sportswise we didn ' t do as well as in pre- ceding years, but everyone did her best and put up a terrific fight every time. Thank you, Susie, for your tremendous efforts and drive that at all times backed our teams. Keller was well represented in both the Pubhc Speaking and Ex A4erito awards. In the Intermediate PubHc Speaking, the cup went to Gail Fincham and in the other divi- sions we received many honourable mentions. Dacie Higginson and Sue Rogers won Ex A ' lerito pins while several others were awarded Ex Aderito Honourable A Iention Certifi- cates. All of you have contributed in your own way to making this a very successful year, and I can ' t begin to tell you how much a house needs the co-operation, spirit and sup- port that you have given to Keller this year. To next year ' s House Head and to all Keller-

8 SAMARA THERE were many additions to Nightin- gale ' s ranks this year. With these girls plus our old members we managed to win the inter-house basketball as well as place second in inter-house tennis, volleyball, and badminton. It is too early yet to say how Sports ' Day will go, but everyone has been out there practising. Love and Uncle Henry was the title of the Nightingale House play. Not only does the cast, Renee, Sherrill Fell, Ginny Wilson and Julie Kingstone, deserve congratulations for their fine efforts, but also all those who worked so hard and so willingly behind stage. Thanks to all the girls who spent many hours collecting and sorting clothes and toys for the Salvation Army, we tied for first place in House collections. To those of you who are leaving Elmwood and Nightingale, the best of luck, and to those who will be returning in September, I hope you give next year ' s House Head the same wonderful support and help you have given me during the past year.
