HOUSE REPORTS BARNACLE HOUSE REPORT, 1975 I do not think we can be blamed for being enthusiastic about the house this year. In every field the members of Barnacle have tried their best . It goes without saying that we owe our success mainly to our housemaster, Nfr. Parsons. who unselfishly spent most of his spare time aiding and advising members of the house. Although Barnacle House encountered stiff' competition in Inter-House events, house spirit was always evident. To the boys I extend my gratitude for their unselfish attitudes in attempting to make Barnacle the best. I would also like to thank my fellow prefects. D. Crawford, W. Chu. P. Blair, P. Tsang. W. Chan, C. Blackstock and NI. Cheng for their efforts in keeping the house in order. Next year. Barnacle House will be led by Clark Blackstock, I wish both him and the House every success that can be achieved by the finest house in the school. Nfichael C.K. Lau, Captain of House. BOLTON HOUSE REPORT This year was an extremely successful year for Bolton House, winning the IN'I'ER-HOUSE SPORTS CUP for the second consecutive year. From the beginning of the House competition. we quickly established an early lead, which eventually proved insurmountable. Among Bolton House's many successes were firsts in swimming: in senior and junior cricket, in junior basketball. in senior voIIeybaII1 in senior soccer: in senior track, in senior cross-country and junior rugby. The main factors behind our success can be attributed to enthusiastic participation and resounding house spirit. Bolton House was able to encourage the large number of new boys to participate in the numerous school activities peculiar to SMU. The new influx combined with the nucleus of Bolton House veterans to prodtice this years resounding achievements. Un hehalf of the House, I would like to thank Nlr. Walsh and Nlr.

WENMAN HOUSE It has been a pleasure being house captain for Wenman House this year. We were in the rttnning for the lead the whole year, neck and neck with Bolton, and this made for a very interesting competition. Our house spirit was as good if not better than the other houses. We always had full teams for every event, and we managed to win some overall. But only the extra efforts gave tts the necessary seconds and thirds, to keep us in contention. We won basketball and rugby, the latter being the IINJSI gratifying to me especially. I must thank certain people who regularly turned out to every event and helped organize squads and teams. Horne and Zanic virtually ran thexjunior end ofour teams while Billy Hope handled the under l6's. They made myxjob much easier. l thank them and everyone else in the house and Nlr. lieble for his never ending support for making this year unforgettable. David Olson WINSLOW HOUSE REPORT This year the lack of members in Winslow House, especially in the Senior section, proved to be a hard barrier to overcome. Nonetheless, the never ending house spirit was clearly evident in all the schoofs activities. Thejunior section of the house, though small, contained a sizeable amount of talent. This talent should come in quite useful in future years. Many thanks must go to Mr. jones whose endless . . . encouragement kept the house and myselfon our toes. l also find it necessary to thank my assistant house captains, Ed Macaulay and Mark Turner and all the house prefects, Dennis Branson, Terry Maclaren, Bruce Moore, Tom Hosie, Xavier Abrioux, David Pickles and Tim Shipley for the tremendous support they gave me all year long. Many thanks must also go to Sam Paterson for the great effort he put into thejunior teams. My best wishes and good luck go to the new and returning members of the house and I know that in the near future Winslow will once again become the great power it used to be. The overall winning of softball is only the beginning. David Wasylynko. House Captain HARVEY HOUSE REPORT With the school adopting grades l and 2 this year, Harvey House has a small munber of even smaller boys. This has, of course. required a very different approach by both staff and boys. Mrs. Harlow has been extremely kind in acting as a mother figure - providing cookies and milk after school and many other home comforts. In spite of the very limited tgttvatatics in the House the boys have, with the help ofthe activity master at weekends, entertained themselves very well. I was very pleased to note that the television spent most ofthe year gathering dust. Activities ranged from the endless roar of tnodel aircraft engines in the I9
