DOUGLAS HALL 1946-1947 DOUGLAS Hall has been very fortunate this year in having Mary Mathers, Head Girl, among its members. As a result of a little extra effort on the part of the girls, Douglas was able to Win the house- points for the fall to Christmas term. An activity enthusiastically undertaken and enjoyed by all the girls was the supplying of Christmas gifts to the Point Douglas Mission. As the time for the Lilac Tea approaches, Douglas Hall hopes to be able to live up to the fine record achieved by the girls of Douglas last fall. Our sports captain, Lois Huggard, and secre- tary, Julie Harris, deserve special credit for their efficient handling of the sports schedules and housepoint lists. The co-operative spirit of both the girls and the staff members, Mrs, Little and Miss McKay, of Douglas, have combined to make this a year which I will remember with pleasure. PEGGY DOLMAGE.

YORK HALL WITH this year drawing to a close, as Prefect of York Hall, I am able to look back upon a very eventful ten months. From the beginning, an exceptionally high degree of spirit has existed, and although we carried off comparatively few trophies, we were always on hand to do our bestg and after all this factor in itself is the essence of true sportsman- ship. In the inter-house field day, our girls won the junior cup, and the seniors placed in various events. In basketball we took second place, and I would like to thank the girls for turning out so faithfully for practices. Our bowling team did very well, as did our volleyball team, which was nosed out of first place by Nelson Hall, 1946-1947 In regard to sports, may I take this opportu- nity to thank Beverly-Ann Laidlaw for carrying out her duties as sports captain so well, and also for giving me such support during the year. Viewing the housepoint situation I again thank the girls for really trying, especially in the junior school where standouts such as Diane Johnson and Dulcie Ann Thomson raised our average considerably, In each activity, our House was well repre- sented. In selling tickets or in packing hampers, York girls did their share, always with a ready smile and helping hand. This type of House spirit made me proud and honored to be Prefect for the year 1946-47, and to all the members of the House, I offer my sincerest thanks for their interest and whole- hearted co-operation.

CARRY HALL 1946-1947 GARRY Hall has experienced a very success- ful year. We had as staff of our house Miss Burns, Mrs. Doerksen and Miss Arnold. We were very fortunate in having Patt Mc- Carthy, the school sports captain, as a member of Garry. We heartily congratulate Donna Smale and Shelagh Lawson on their co-opera- tion as house executives. The field day proved a successful event for Garry as we won the senior activity trophy. A Christmas hamper was prepared and de- livered by the members of the house. A letter of appreciation was received from the family to whom the hamper was sent. As the year comes to a close I wish to extend my appreciation to the staff and members of Garry Hall for their co-operation. PHYLLIS HUSTON. Pace Twenfu
