Dear Fry, Thank you for a wonderful year although we did not win the ' House Trophy ' , we have had fun trying and ' have shown great spirit in our competi- tion. With our ' Bake-Sale ' for Sui Sang, our contribu- tion in sports to the volley-ball, basketball, bad- minton and tennis tournaments and our enthusiastic entries in the talent show, we have had a busy and interesting year. I think we have especially enjoyed organizing our house dance, featuring the ' Raphaels ' . The time that a great many of yoa devoted to the making of decorations and refreshments enabled us to have a most successful dance. By the way, Fry-ites, we managed to raise more money for the Formal than the other two houses combined. In all facets of school life we have worked together and, we hope, have lived to our ' house motto by showing ' Friendship to AH ' . Thank you again for making this, my last year at Elmwood, such a happy one. I hope that yours has been equally as happy and I wisih you the best of luck for the future. With all my love, Janice.

SPORTS NOTES Once again this year, sports have played a very important role in the school ' s activities. Under the encouraging direction of Miss Driscoll who un- tiringly, we can say, gave her all in effort, time and organization to the planning or rhythmic exercises, the inter-class and inter-house games and even to a Round-Robin with Ashbury in May, the school sports have been, we think, a true success. We started the year off in September with an enthusiastic bang when Miss Driscoll arranged the inter-class softball games in the intermediate and senior schools. After a succession of, naturally, very close games 5A managed to steal the victory from 6M whose crowning defeat came in a final game against the staff who, much to the delight of the rest of the school, won. Each house elected its own sports captain with the result that Jane Mirsky represented Nightingale, Anne Chaplin, Fry, and Merry Grundy, Keller. Either in cheering or in playing the whole school contributed to the inter-house games, and once again, though the competition was tough, Keller carried off the volleyball and basketball trophies, with Nightin- gale a close second. Both junior and senior schools participated in the badminton and tennis singles and doubles, the highhght being once again the Round-Robin with eight ardent tennis players from Ashbury— the win- ners of which were— Sue Dier and Tom Reed. This year we flooded the newly paved tennis courts and there on a crisp winter afternoon the Juniors held their annual costume skating party and according to all those who attended (including some wayward 5A ' s, 6M ' s and staff members who hap- pened to turn up at the smell of food and fun) it was a very great success. In May, a week before our final June exams, the whole school, smallest to the tallest, performed before our parents the rhythmic exercises taught us by Miss Driscoll. Though she may have had her doubts and fears, when the final test came many congratulated her highly on the results. We thank her once again for her hard work and steady perseverance in school sports and return her hearty slap on the back wishing her many more successful years of teaching at Elmwood.
