House Notes When a girl first comes to Elmwood, she joins one of the three houses - Fry, Keller, or Nightingale. This year, however, a new experiment was tried in which Keller was made the board- ing-school house, and the day-girls were equally divided between Fry and Nightingale. When a girl joins a House, she has responsibilities and obligations to that House, just as she has to her own family. She must try and live up to her House Motto, just as she must try to live up to the ideals that have been taught to her by her family. The three Houses are each named after a famous woman - Elizabeth Fry, Helen Keller, and Florence Nightingale. Each House has a House Head, who must direct the affairs of her House and who prepares a speech about her patron on House Day. There is keen competition in sports, art, drama and public speaking among the three Houses. In June at the close of every year, a House Trophy is awarded to the House with ' the highest aggregate points for academic achievement, sports, drama, public speaking and good conduct ' .
