To add to her already mounting glory, she captured the boys’ Field Day crests, but of course this victory was anticipated by all house members. On the other hand, we do not intend to rest on these laurels; there are still the basketball and the ping pong crests which we plan to add to our collection already hanging triumphantly below the purple and gold banner of our Alma Mater. Truly this has been a great year for Gamma, and as long as we have such stout hearts in our house as we have at present, we shall not stop, but go on end on to conquer for the glory of Gamma House. 30

On December 19th, Beta House closed the 1947 year with their annual dance, the Kris Kringle Kapers. The gym was beautifully ornamented with evergreen branches, two lighted Christmas trees and red and green streamers which were appropriate for the season. The dance was well attended by approximately three hundred and fifty students. Delicious cookies and cokes were served. Albert Hilton played Santa Claus. To the students of Beta House: The executive of Beta House wishes to take this opportunity to extend its sincere thanks for the loyalty and co-operation from the students of the house, the staff, Mr. Slaney and Mr. Burlow. It is through this help that we have had such a successful year.

Proudly she has held her position in the athletic and social activities. Public Speaking honours were attained by Delta in the past two years, including the 1947-48 Senior Girls ' Championship. At the Annual Track and Field Meet, Delta carried off the crest in the girls division. Not that we like to boast, but we also won the ping pong crest. On October 31st she presented her annual dance, The Midnight Masquerade , which was of course highly successful. If the same spirit end co-operation is upheld by the members of Delta House in the years to follow, she will again be the house of the year.
