failings of others; we have had too many candidates for ' satis ' . Next year I trust that the shield will return to our shelf. We must congratulate John Woodsworth and Julian Greenwood on winning their School Academic Colours. I suppose the sports trophies are more highly coveted than the academic by most of the boys. Here we have had considerable success; I am told that this is only fair, because in the previous year we came a close second so many times! We started well by winning the house swimming competition — congratula- tions to Brent Smith on being senior champion. Then we plunged into the athletic sports and, well led by Ian Appleton, we won the competition. Although there were fine individual performances from Charles Russ, David Gooderham and Michael Bird, the chief event in this was that it was an achievement by the whole house. David Ross and Rodney Pelling were unable to compete, but the spirit with which everyone entered the standards ' competition more than made up for their absence. So to the modified rugby competition where our seniors were successful, although if Cooper ' s attempted conversion of a Copeman ' s try had been six inches straighter the result might have been different! Our juniors were con- sistantly defeated, but they played to the very best of their powers — the tackling of Robert Lint and Eddy Berwick, and the general hustle of Doug Kingsford were devastating. The situation looks promising for next year. In the summer term the house cricket competition was closely contested. Our seniors surprised themselves by conceding the narrowest of victories to Ripley ' s, but our juniors were unexpectedly defeated. I think it unlikely that Julian Greenwood will ever run himself out again. We have some promising cricketers in the house, Blair Halse and Arthur Monahan with the bat, Tony Foster with the ball, and Julian Greenwood with both. Also during the summer term David Ross stroked our first boat to a grand victory. Brian Plummer then rapidly changed boats for the junior race, but his crew could not quite match the pace of the other houses. In the various other sports Dick Lonsdale ran well in the cross country, Julian Greenwood played some good squash, and the junior rifle team won their competition. Fortunately however our activities are by no means confined to sports. We have a large contingent in the choir, and there boys have all enjoyed a most satisfying year. May the gaps created by the departing choristers be readily filled by others. Charles Russ and Julian Greenwood have made a notable contribu- tion by playing the organ for a number of chapel services. As a further witness of the wide activities of the house Harold Munn has been busy in the model railway club, the wild imagination of David Gooderham created mural decorations for the school dance, Rodney Pelling and John Larsen entertained the dancers in the fashion of the Hungry! Ronnie Blanc and Tony Foster have kept their favourite fishing haunts secret, David Bentley tried to sail across Piggs Pool on a homemade raft, Rodney Pelling, David Ross, Julian Greenwood, Harold Munn and David Gooderham all played in Henry IV, as did a muted Arndt, a good company had parts in the Mikado, and Ken Clark has sailed to all the parts of the Lake. It is indeed hard to follow all the activities of the boys in the house. Finally to those who are leaving us we extend our t hanks and best wishes for the future. May those returning continue to contribute actively and self- lessly to the life of the house and school, and indeed of the world outside too, where we have adopted a Lithuanian refugee in West Germany, for in this way only can our community life be truly worthwhile and satisfying. 26

LAKES HOUSE In general this has been quite a successful year in all fields. Although we did not ' cop ' all the glory, we nevertheless had a better showing than that of previous years. During the Michaelmas term in the swimming events we man- aged to win the Under 16 Relay, but were unsuccessful in acquiring any other individual prizes. For Track and Field we had a better showing when Maguire kept the Under 14 Championship in the House. In the Lent Term for the inter-house rugger the tradition was changed from a senior and junior team of fifteen players to a system of having a senior and junior A and B team of seven-a-side members which played every other house. We won the junior in a very close match with Copeman ' s but placed fourth in the senior. In the inter-house shooting we won the senior but lost the junior. At the end of the term the annual nemesis of all schoolboys re- turned in the aspect of the inter-house X-country, but nevertheless the House made quite a respectable showing. In the inter-house basketball we were suc- cesful in winning the Under 14 matches, but were quite badly beaten in the other divisions. In the Summer Term the home stretch before the examinations arrived but there was still pots of time for extra-curricular activities. This year the School Dramatic Society put on Shakespeare ' s Henry IV Part 1 in the school gymna- sium, in which the House was quite well represented. Salmon and Veres and Culter ma. were very good as barroom cronies and a sheriff respectively. The highlight of the afternoon was Fraser ' s performance of that ' hill of flesh ' , Falstaff, portraying the wily rogue with great gusto. For the inter-house rowing both races were extremely close with the first two boats in each race separated only by about half a deck-length. We were second in the senior but came first in the junior. A real upset occurred in the cricket, for we were considered the underdogs. This prediction came true when we were badly trounced by Cope- man ' s in the junior match, but this service was returned when we won a very closely contested match against them in the Senior, and then went on to overcome Ripley ' s. These victories would not have been possible without the superlative bowling of Veres and Janke, both of whom played extremely well. Among all our success this year, there is a sad note in that we are very sorry that our Matron, Mrs. Hewitt, is leaving the House. She has been a staunch supporter of the House and has been an angel in time of distress to all the boys many times during the past years. We are truly very sorry that she is leaving us, and hope that she returns to visit us often. To all the boys leaving the House we send our very best wishes for good luck in their chosen profession and best wishes for a fine future. GROVE ' S HOUSE We have been a happy and cooperative company this year. In large measure this is due to the kindly presence of David Ross as head of the house, and to his kindly colleagues Rodney Pelling, Derek Arndt, Ian Appleton and Will Gooderham. Prefects are always the target for much unjustified criticism, so here we can publicly extend our thanks to them for jobs well done, and our best wishes for success elsewhere. We have had one great disappointment this year, the loss of the academic shield. There have been some very diligent performances by John Woodsworth, Geof. Foster, Julian Greenwood, Tony Foster and Peter Schotch, to mention just a few. But the efforts of these and many others have been spoiled by the 25
