Boarders ' Notes •OUR HEAD BOARDERS ' We boarders here at Elmwood have had two wonderful ' heads ' , Jeanette MacDonald, fondly nicknamed ' Jay ' and- Katherine Heaman, our ' Kit ' . They have both been very successful and have fully proved their abilities to take command, to be responsible for the actions of the restless boarders, to cheer up gloomy faces, to maintain quiet when it is wanted, to help and to keep a happy atmosphere in the residence at all times. New boarders came in last September, and were often seen wandering about, hopelessly lost; but, with the patience and understanding of Jay and Kit, they were soon laughing and talking with the old crowd, and suddenly feeling as if they had lived here for years. We have had someone to turn to in trouble and this is a wonderful feeling, greatly needed, in any boarding- school. We shall also miss the cheery faces of the 6 Matric boarders. Veda and her ready smile, Gail and her funny remarks, Ellie and her full five feet and one and three quarter inches, Patsy with her Mexican accent and last but not least by far, our two wonderful, all-round head boarders, Jay and Kit.

Keller House Notes Dear Kellerites, Once again it is June and the close of another year. For six of us it is our final year and the end of our boarding school life. But just before we leave let us look back upon the past year. In inter-house sports Keller won the Basketball and Volleyball Competitions through the loyalty of our teams who always upheld our House Motto Fair Play and by the expert coaching of Kate and Deb. Our year was started with a dance to welcome all new girls not only to Keller but also Nightingale and Fry. Our new girls became part of our family. We all had loads of fun making the decorations for our Tiki-Kon dance in which we tied for second place. It was well worth the work to bring the new boarders into our friendly family atmosphere. On behalf of the boarders we should like to express our thanks to our House Mother and nurse, Miss Robinson, and the rest of the House Staff. We should also like to thank the Day School Staff who came with us on our Saturday excursions. We are both proud to have been your house heads this past year through the good times as well as the bad. Everyone of you contributed to making Keller House what it is - an individual personality which only one, who is a boarder, can understand. To the boarders and the future house heads may we wish you all the best. Love Jay and Kit 16

All the years in between have been happy, but none so r ewarding as this, when I have had the pleasure of leading Nightingale. Each and every one of you has made a wonderful contribution in her own field; 1 particularly thank the juniors, who, through their excellent academic achievements and good behaviour, have helped us win so many red stars. They may have to wait a year or two before they reap the rewards which come with senior school life, but their enthusiastic co-operation I cannot forget. To the older girls go my thanks for their keen support and efforts during the year in all house activities, climaxed by our tying for the Senior Cup on Sports Day. Also from the senior school have come many active monitors whose help could always be relied upon. This year we were honoured to have both the Head Girl and Head Prefect from Nightingale. I have been very proud to be in the house whose members so well uphold its motto; Not for ourselves alone, It is those little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness which make our characters, and though it may sometimes not seem like it, those little acts are noticed and remembered. So thank you for your cheerfuUness and your support. Good luck to all of you next year, wherever you may be. Love, Caroline 18
