In December because of the large contri- butions from each house, the judges had diffi- culty in deciding who should win the House Collections, and to the relief of all, the three Houses tied for first place, and we all sent ' our articles to the Salvation Army. After many hectic weeks of rehearsals for

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-

SAMARA 11 the House Plays, Fry managed to come out on top with Charles Dickens ' Is She His Wife? I would like to thank all those who partici- pated and helped, especially Gail Lacharity and Linda Chauvin who won the Best Actress awards. In the Public Speaking contest, Deirdre Kirby brought more honour to Fry when she won the Senior Division. Diane Manion, Hea- ther Blaine, and Holly Ryan all received hon- ourable mention. Thanks to Heather Blaine, our eager- beaver Sports Captain, we have greatly im- proved in the field of sports. I would like to thank Heather for all the work she has done with the various house teams; it proved worth- while for we won the Inter-House tennis, volleyball, and badminton and after a long hard struggle placed second to Nightingale in basketball. There is not room here to mention each House member individually and to thank you for all you have done throughout the year; but I would like to take this opportunity to thank you as a group, for I feel it is because you have worked as a group and with such spirit that you have done so well this year. To those who are leaving, I wish the best of luck, and to next year ' s House Head and those who are staying, may I wish to you the same, and hope that you will continue to work with as much house spirit as you did this year.

Font revivre I ' esprit, rajeunissent les ames, Et chassent les ennuis et rallument les flammes. La neige est envolee, le lac est gris et froid. Les grands arbres sont verts, la pelouse se voit. Les cygnes gracieux sur le lac d ' argent glis- sent, Les yeux caressent I ' eau, leurs plumes eblouis- sent. Silencieusement, flottant sur un miroir, Les cygnelets suivent, c ' est tres joli a voir. L ' air tres frais est si chaud et le beau soleil brille, Les bois sont verdoyants contrastant la jon- quille. 6 Matric
