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]

SPECIAL CHOIR THIS 1 EAR our Special Choir has increased in size as well as, I believe, in quality. At Christmas our concert was received very well, and we are hoping for equal, if not better, success in our singing at the Musical Evening and at the School Closing. Our singing at St. James the Apostle will no doubt always be remembered by those who braved the blizzard, the risk of ice-laden branches falling on them, and the treacherous live wires which festooned some of the streets. Although only half the Choir of sixty managed to get to the Church, I think we did exceptionally well under such a handicap, and I ' m sure that the small congregation enjoyed us. We all extend a large vote of thanks to Dr. Herbert for his able and inspiring direction. Sally Green, Arts VI, Ross House. [19]
