The members of Gumming House join with us in thanking Miss Cam for her help and encouragement through the year. Our house did not have many basketball team players but we are very proud of those we had, who were Mary Jane Miles, Marilyn Barrie, Beverley Martin and Marjory Acres. We are now looking forward to our inter-house games and sports day. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our members for their eagerness in making 1952 a success and to wish you all the best of luck in the years to come. Alice Paton Carol Armour FAIRLEY HOUSE Service Before Self As the school year comes to a close we find it is time to give our readers a summary of what we members of Fairley House have been doing to apply to life the words of our motto, Service Before Self . At the beginning of the year the house competition provided us with something on which to work together — a fashion show. Owing to the co-operation of all the girls and the interest shown by Mrs. Leonard, the show was a real success and Fairley succeeded in obtaining first place In sports we once again showed our keenest enthusiasm. Fairley was represented on the basketball team by Maralyn Leask, Joan Forsey and Margaret Acres, and on the ski team by Judy Liersch, Margot McLean, Katama Bonthron, Benita Haslett, Ann Slater and Frances Magor. As a whole the girls deserve to be congratulated on their splendid showing of team work during the year. Our sincerest appreciation goes to Mrs. Leonard for her unforgettable assistance in making Fairley live up to its standard both at work and at play. Daphne Armstrong Joan Forsey [23]

THE HOUSES BARCLAY HOUSE Tende Bene et Alta Pete WE would like to welcome all the new girls in Barclay House this year and to thank them for the part they have taken in the activities of the house, especially congratulating Debbie Watts who made the Second Basketball team. The first event of the year was the House Competition which was a fashion show, contrasting the fashions of the old days with the fashions of the present day. Everyone took an active part and we enjoyed it immensely. Congratulations to Fairley House on a well deserved win! Barclay House was well represented on the Basketball teams this year with Anne Johnson on the First Team and Leslie Mason, Debbie Watts, Judy Brow, Marjorie Blair and Lois Wilson on the Second Team. One of our major efforts this year was the making of two layettes for the Red Cross. Everyone worked very hard and each girl contributed. We would like to thank Louise Dupont especially for all her hard work — the result was marvellous! We would like to thank Miss Stansfield who helped us a great deal throughout the year. Good-luck to all the members of Barclay House in the future. Nan Carun Lois Wilson GUMMING HOUSE Facta Non Verba We were very glad to welcome so many new girls into the house this year. They tried hard and did well in making house points. In the house competition, which was a fashion show, we all enjoyed trying on old-fashioned clothes and deciding which outfit resembled the styles of today. We were very much pleased because we managed to come second. Although we have had too many bad marks this year, most of them have been made up by reading and sewing. [22]
