YORK HALL During the past ten months York Hall has proudly participated in all school activities. From the beginning of the year the girls have done their best and happy results have come of it. In the inter-house field day, the girls won both the senior and junior cups. In inter-house basketball, York Hall placed second after a long struggle. The basketball team should be congratulated on their everlast- ing hard work. ln the inter-house bowling York came out on top. In the inter-house dramatic plays a great deal of work by the girls, especially Diane Johnson, who took her part in three days' notice, We were fortunate in this to have the help of Miss Dickson and Miss Shepley. As to the house points, thanks to all the girls and also our two little boys for trying so hard. As prefect of York Hall I would like to thank the girls for their wholehearted co-operation. especially Marge Baker, our sports-captain, Diane Armstrong, our secretary and Linda Wright, our treasurer. The year has been very eventful and I have been proud to be prefect of York Hall during 1947-48. LORNA MCCARTHY. Page Seventeen

DOUGLAS HALL This has been a very eventful year for Douglas Hall and one which I have enjoyed im- mensely as prefect. To begin with there were the Inter-House Field Day Sports and although we lost the cup I felt proud of the excellent showing made by the girls and their whole-hearted co-operation. This same spirit was again felt when Christ- mas came around and we made up our annual hamper of presents to the Point Douglas Mis- sion. Later I received a very nice letter from the Mission expressing their thanks and appre- ciation. In regard to the housepoints, I wish to thank all the girls for their untiring efforts, especially the juniors from grades one to three and such standouts as Betty May Ormiston, Mary Hope Mclnnes and Anne Fox. Nancy Smith, our house secretary, also deserves special credit for her weekly housepoint lists and for the fact that we came second in the fall-to-Christmas term. With a little extra effort from now till June I feel quite hopeful that we may win the much covet- ed shield at graduation. In sports, we again held our own much to the tireless support of our sports captain, Lois Hug- gard, who led the basketball teams in some excellent play. On February 20th when the house plays were presented, Douglas Hall made a very fine show- ing with Elmer and the Lovebugfl The audience thoroughly enjoyed it, I am sure, but it required hard work and the patient coaching of Mrs. Little and Mrs. Smith, our members of staff. This loyalty to our house together with the united efforts and sportsmanship of all the girls and staff members makes this a year which I will always remember with pleasure. My sin- cerest thanks goes out to everyone. J OAN ROBERTS. Page Eighteen
