THE HOUSES While Pickering has maintained its house system since the fire, it has only heen since we moved into the New Residence that House' life has returned to peak activity. House spirit was solidly rekindled as Red. Blue, and Silver took over their separate floors, This gave Gold House lsituated in Firth Housel a chance to really issue some challenges whether at murder ball or for Sports Day. In any event, it was good to have the Houses back. Next year the system will return with all its old gusto and vigour. Silver House SILVER HOUSE tSeoredJ, Mr Taylor.
