This was the last get-together for the year, and one which we all enjoyed. Under the guiding hand of our very loyal supporting president, Miss Turner, and the advice of her associates, Miss Gruenke and Miss Herkes, Dalton has had a successful year, and we're still hoping for the House shield, so come on Dalton! been ve NN sg 2 HELEN MARTIN 0 MARGARET CHOWN TE NN ,S VIVIAN BASI-'ORD BETTY FOSTER BETTY SMITH IOCELYN ROBB IEAN WOODMAN VIVIAN BASFORD VERNA VAN BLARICOM MARY MILNER MARY MILNER VIRGINIA CAMERON C-L56 IONES HOUSE I , 1 i President .............,......

Amy Best and Vivian Basford are to be congratulated for their excellent run- ning and jumping on Sports Day. Praise is also forthcoming to our basketball and badminton teams, which did most to put us ahead, also to our senior sports captain, Verna, who kept us organized. We have also been socially engaged this year, mainly in our Annual School Missionary Tea, which was held in November. Dalton's table in the dining-room was decorated with blue and silver streamers, and centred with a bowl of chrysanthemums. Mothers of the girls in the House kindly lent silver services and some consented to pour. The girls serving wore blue and silver aprons, and the tiny messengers wore blue hair bows. Dalton's side attraction was an attractively arranged handkerchief stall. We were well rewarded for our good work, the total sum from the proceeds being 3185. We are also planning a House picnic for Friday, May 19, our final social round-up of the season. Then exams! Although Dalton placed only third in the House results at the end of Christmas and Easter terms we still have a chance to win the House cup. P.S. A very successful picnic was held on May 19 in the City Park. We all set off after school ended at four o'clock, making our way by bus and bicycle to the rendezvous at the swings, we spent some

We note with sorrow on the tenth anniversary of our House, the passing of its original Captain, Miss Holditch, who was succeeded by Miss Bartlett, and in 1956 by Miss Bussell, our present President. A In September we welcomed Miss Ralston, a new member of the Staff to our House and also several new girls, and extend our apprecia- tion to Miss Bussell and Miss Armitage for the help they have given us this year. The annual Zenana Mission Tea was held on November 26. From the sepulchral voice of a weird, bejewelled figure Qsuspected to be Miss Armitagej guests learned their fate, a very popular diversion, which contributed to the 5556.58 collected by Iones House. The sports of the House did not prove a feather in our cap, however, conduct and marksdid their best, giving us second place for the first two terms. 4 ' Owing to the changeable weather of the late winter we decided to postpone our winter tramp in favour of a summer picnic, to be attended by both seniors and juniors on May 20 at City Park. Good luck to all our members-those who are leaving us and those who will be here to carry on the good work next year. C-L60 . MACHRAY HOUSE' nf- l J President ................. Miss A. C.
