place second with our revised version of Cinderella . This was made possible by the enthusiasm of the girls and Miss Grant ' s interest and encouragement. It was, however, impossible to equal the winner ' s ingenuity. Congratulations, Ross! Many Cununingites were keen participants in gym, gaining both Stars and G Badges, anil were found on the ski and basketball teams. We were also fortunate enough to have a few good spellers among us whose proficiency helped win the Inter-House Spelling Bee held in March. e are at this poini looking forward hopefullv to the Inter-House tennis matches antl the Senior Field Day. We would like to take this opportunity lo thank all the girls for their wonderful spirit, and especially lo thank Mrs. Proulx whose gui(huice has been great- ly appreciated. This year, for the House Competition, Fairley produced Peter Pan , with Annthile Goggin as the boy who wouldn ' t grow up. Our many thanks to those early birds who turned up for morning prac- tices. e are afraid, though. Peter didn ' t Hy as high as we had hoped. Our congratulations to Ross — the winner. Special thanks go to Liz KenI, who has kept track of those never-ending bad marks, and to Heather Harding, our Red Cross Representative. We hope the following girls will keep up the hard work for Fairley: Claire Marshall. Liz Kent, Suzanne Kinsman, Sherry Jackson, Arlene Ferguson, and Heather Marshall. Our basketball team didn ' t do too well because of the absentees. There is still the Field Day to look forward to. Let ' s hope everyone will be there! Always remember our motto bv applying it to all you do. The best of luck to Fairleyites in the future. To date, Rossites have done well in keeping up the traditions of the House. Our thanks go to Miss Harvie for her continual help and encouragement, and to Annette Eddison, our Fifth Form Represent- ative. We seem to be fairly short of geniuses, but make it up on the athletic end, and have been well represented on all the school teams. We were very happy to win the Inter-House basketball cup again this year, and hope that our good luck continues. The House Competition was a great success, and all our efforts were rewarded when Dr. Foster an- nounced that Snow White had been chosen the winner. However, the Competition isn ' t everything; our congratulations go to Cumming, who accumulated the greatest number of points during the first term. They have a fairly healthy lead, and we hope that everyone in Ross is really working to close the gap. We feel that Ross has a great deal of spirit this year, and we hope that the House will be as successful next year as it has been this year. [17]

THE HOUSES Donald House is the newest House at Traf, and one which, we trust, will prove itself soon. Although not too successful in outward achievements, we feel that Donald has succeeded in developing House spirit. This term is not easily defined, hut we believe it to be the enthusiasm of girls working together for a common goal. A great many girls have shown an unexpected sense of responsibility which has pleased us indeed. We only hope that they will continue this in their future years at Traf and all through their lives. Miss Wyatt has been a constant help to us and an enthusiastic House Mistress. Donald needs the sup- port of each and every one of its girls to honour by word and deed the memory of Dr. Donald, a member of long-standing on our Board of Governors. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so Donalders, beware of weak links. 1960-61 has moved far too quickly before our eyes. As usual the Houses started off with the House Competition. Our choice was The Sleeping Beauty . We thank all the girls for doing their part in putting on the play; especially Kathy Hall, who did an exceptionally fine job on the art work. We also thank Kathy for doing a good job as Red Cross Represent- ative, and Barbie Aylett for all her help as Fifth Form Representative. Last, but certainly not least, our thanks go to Miss Stansfield for all her kind advice and help. Barclay is working hard, but we must strive toward higher goals. We want all Barclayites to be proud of their House, but this pride will come only when every girl is doing her best for the House. With the Field Day still to look forward to, we hope that each member of Barclay will remember the House motto and try to live up to it, not only this year, but always. Although we were without a House Mistress to begin the year, with the assistance of Mrs. Leonard, Gumming was able to get off to an enthusiastic start. The spirit and co-operation shown by Cummingites, new and old, gave us confidence, and assurance that we would do as well this year. This was proven by the unusually small total of bad marks at the end of the first term. This, however, seemed too good to last. It didn ' t. Nevertheless, owing to the continuous flood of stamps and the efforts of many hard workers, we emerged on top at Christmas. Here ' s hoping we can keep it up ! The first major event of the House year was the Competition. Much to our surprise, we managed to [16]
