THE HOUSES THE HOUSE HEADS Barclay Gumming Fairley Ross Diane Schnezler Karen Price Ronne Heming Elizabeth McAuley Patricia Wilson Carol Heslop Elizabeth Tighe Beverly Rowat THIS IS NOT the story of the house that Jack built, but rather that of four houses built on tradition, and strengthened by continuous efforts of new members. Competition provides the life blood of these institutions, the House Com- petition in particular. This year, as always, a great deal of time and effort was spent on the part of all the girls, and the results were undoubtedly rewarding. A wide range of history was covered in the presentations of the various plays, from the caveman of Cvmiming, to Anne Boleyn of Fairley, to the Gold-rush days of Ross. All are to be commended for the enthusiasm and real effort that made the House Competition a success. Heartiest congratulations to Barclay, the winner, for their production of the Battle of Trafalgar, and to their hero. Mavis Young, for her splendid performance as Nelson. Despite Tuesday morning ' s never-ending bad marks, which have exasperated Fifth Form Reps, House Heads have not despaired, for many girls have worked particularly hard this year; the number of hymn-players has never been greater, and Red Cross has been flourishing. Many thanks to Miss Adams and all the Red Cross Representatives for their much appreciated help. At the end of the Christmas term, Ross led with the highest number of points, but was closely followed by Cumming, Barclay, and Fairley. Barclay won top honours, too, in the Spelling Bee, and Cumming was runner-up. House basketball! Tennis! Field Day! — all these to look forward to, and then in June the final adding up of points! Best of hick to all Houses! [18]

This year we have been especially fortunate in receiving two sets of encyclo- paedias: The World Book Encyclopedia , presented by the Trafalgar Old Girls ' Association in honour of Miss E. K. Bryan, a former Vice-Principal of Trafalgar; and The Encyclopaedia Britannica , donated by The Encyclopaedia Britannica of Canada Limited, and presented by Dr. Berlis in memory of Miss Box. We are grateful for the donation of approximately one hundred books from the estate of the late Miss Box, whose well-known interest in the school has again been shown. We should also like to thank Miss Goldstein for her gift of five Spanish books and a book on Chinese art, and Dr. Herbert for two books on the Canadian Rockies. As well as these, books were donated by interested students. With the acquisition of these volumes, as well as the one hundred and one volumes bovight this year, the library will no doubt attract an even greater amount of interest among the girls next year. Elizabeth McAuley, Arts VI, Ross House Elizabeth Kent, Form IVb, Fairley House The Junior Library, which Miss Craig set up and now runs, has also had a busy and profitable year. Two hundred more books have been donated. [20]
