Clarke and Crane tied for the Mr. Fashion Award leaving Mark Perry groping in the dust for his contacts. Steve and Randy spent most of the year at each other ' s throats providing breathtaking excitement at every slash. No one ever saw Crawford do any work but somehow he maintained a good average, and despite Sinclair ' s varied at- tempts to drown him out, Doug still managed to be heard above the ruckus. We owe our thanks to Mr. McDiarmid and Mr. McKinnon for their time and help to all of us during the year. Of course our special thanks go to Mr. Hudspith who puts up with the house very well and through his subtle prodding, keeps our hair short and keeps us walking the white line. Five Groves ' boys And now you know how the Cognitive Domain works So that ' s how they got the caramel in the Cadbury ' s Caramilk Bar 29

Internally Groves ' was probably the most content house of all this year though our performance in Inter-House Competitions was only average. Through the combined efforts of everyone in the house we placed second in the ' Round the Lake Run ' and not to be satisfied with that we then knocked off both our neighbours up the hill to win the Inter-House Senior Sevens Trophy. However, mediocre placings in swimming, basketball, and cross- country proved that even Groves had its failings. The problem lies largely in the fact that we are somewhat short of exceptionally good senior athletes. However, mention must be made of Clarke who excelled in both gymnastics and sailing, and of Lynch and West who were our stars in both badminton and squash. Though we were fortunate enough to keep nearly everyone off the Warning and Satis lists we did not quite excel in academics this year. This was due to our somewhat infrequent appearances on the Diligence and Honours lists. However, Bruno Lindner-Messerschmidt, Bristowe, Marjoribanks, and Varma gave consistently good performances in academics and deserve credit for their diligence throughout the year. For the first time in about five years Groves ' got a really decent lot of new boys which subdued the somewhat bizarre reputation that the Junior Dorm has been famous for in years past. Of course Clarke kept things from getting boring and if Duncan ' s neat junk did not warp your mind, Ian Murray ' s cute smile would. Matt Arrott rushed in and out of his room all year long professing to be busy but most of us knew he was actually afraid of Cleugh ' s mental terror tactics. The bottom floor was our Academic Hothouse, if it could be said we had one with Bristowe, Bruno, and Varma, not to mention Caraza. The top housed the Grade 10 groovers ' pad which was dominated by big Bill Stainton. Saroka ' s room was the center of Groves ' Literary Magazine Collection again this year providing many hours of mature entertainment for the Grade Twelves. 28

Lake ' s House returned full of spirit and began the term by battling Lonsdale ' s down to the wire in Inter-House Swimming before eventually finishing third. A week later was the Inter-House Around-the-Lake Relay. Although we previously won the cup; this year was not to be the case and although we tried our hardest, fifth place was all we could manage. Next was Inter-House Rugby. In the Senior division the house finished in a second-place tie with Lonsdale ' s and Ripley ' s behind the surprise winners - Groves ' . In the Junior competition Lake ' s emerged victorious although stiff competition was provided by Groves and Ripleys ' On the final Tuesday of the Christmas term the ever increasingly popular Inter-House Cross-Country was run. The Senior end of the house was not overly endowed with cross-country runners and a fifth place finish was all we could achieve. In the Junior race Lake ' s had three boys in the top ten and yet only finished fourth. So ended the athletic end of the term and while the record is not brilliant it could have indeed been worse, as could have been our Academic record. Academically the house was led by the bottom floor combination of Brent Cooper and Peter Olesen. Upstairs the room 22 duo of Ian Leitch and Frank Miller produced many points as did Ian Hyde-Lay and Charlie MacLachlan in room 23. Of the others Charlie Stuart deserves mention also. Despite the efforts of these and others we never managed to capture the Academic Shield. As this report is being written in the Lent term we may win it yet. Most In- ter-House competitions have not been played yet, but no matter - for Lakes is sure to do well in these - as they always do. However, it was not the athletic and academic achievements that made Lake ' s the house it was in the 73-74 year but the many unique personalities in the house. 30
