WINTER TERM All through the winter term, Red House was most co-operative in the daily life of Pickering. We had good remarks from all the Masters on Duty throughout the term. Troubles were never associated with any Red House member. Our House Masters. Mr. Lockyer and Mr. Thornton, along with our Committee, lChris Heslop, Paul Sung. Dag Spicer, Chris Munn and Carlos Abrahamsl really helped to make Red House the best in the school. As a result, we won the Winter Term House dinner that was awarded to the most co- operative House. The dinner party was held at the Notawasaga lnn which is about a forty- five minute drive from Pickering. On that day, every Red House member, Mr. Lockyer and Mr. Thornton, along with Mr. S. Clark, Mr. A. Jewell, Mr. B. Barrett, Mr. D. Clark and Mr. J. Tausney, participated in the event. We had a very nice buffet dinner and everybody really dug into their food. After dinner came speech time. Every teacher there and your Chairman, Chris Heslop, each gave a little speech, encouraging Red House to keep up the good work next term. Mr. Tausney made up two prizes especially for Red House: the broken-screen award which went to the room of Chris Munn and John Sherratt, and the twin-knob award which was presented to James Tatem and David Margetts. The atmosphere of the evening was like that of a family gathering. The unique nature of Red House was really shown. The occasion finally came to an end with a cheerful bus ride back home. -Paul Sung SILVER HOUSE DINNER ln the Fall term the best behaved. neated House in the school turned out to be Silver. So on November 30th. Silver House was awarded its well-earned dinner. The dinner which included steak was a great success and all present enjoyed it immensely. A ter the dinner it was time for awards. On Visitor's Day a contest was held to determine the neatest, best decorated room in the House. lt was a tie, and a Easter was awarded to Danny Fraser and eter Gibson for their room and one to Andrew Vaucrosson, Steve Schmidt and Greg DaPrato for theirs. Then came the Silver Plunger Award. The first ever winner of this distinction was Nick Brink. Congratulations to Silver House for winning the first ever House Dinner. - Harry Albright SQ... - 1 GOLD HOUSE DINNER: SPRING He who laughs last, laughs best. Gold House laughed best. For the first two terms, Gold House was doomed in any attempt to win the free dinner award for being the cleanest corridor. However. with an inexhaustible burst of energy. Gold House swept its floors, made its beds and, of course, cooperated fully when told to get up in the morning. The out come was a well-deserved victory. Our reward was announced the following day, free pizzas. Each room containing two people would get one large pizza, with our own choice of garnishes. Orders were sent in, the pizzas arrived. people munched. I think it can be said that Gold Houses members fully enjoyed their day of victory to its utmost. I also think it shows that if we can do it once, we can do it again. So, LETS GO GOLD. -Jed Spring 29
