FAIRLEY HOUSE Service before Self This has been a very successful year for Fairley, and it is rewarding to see the House spirit shown by the girls. We would like to thank Mrs. Proulx in particular for all her help, encouragement and interest, for which we are extremely grateful. Everyone enjoyed the House Competition this year, and we tied for second place with Ross. Congratulations to Cumming, the winner. Anne Tomlinson ' s wonderful art work contributed greatly to the production, as did Susan Wood ' s excellent portrayal of Florence Nightingale. In the Red Cross department, we have all put in much effort, especially Victoria Knox, ovir Representative. Fairley placed a close second to Ross in house points at Christmas, and more than half the girls received Fairley tapes. If enthusiasm continues to run high, we should do well in June. Anndale Goggin, our Fifth Form Representative, has been keeping track of our bad marks, of which there have been amazingly few this term. Let ' s hope it continues that way! We would like to thank all the girls who have put so much effort into the House, and have made this an extremely enjoyable year. May you all have the best of luck in the future. Suzanne Kinsman and Claire Marshall ROSS HOUSE Fifth Form Representative — Yoko Narahashi Red Cross Representative — Theo Green We would like to thank all Rossites for their help and enthusiasm, and to give special thanks to Miss Harvie, whose advice and encouragement has been really appreciated. The House Competition was a great success this year, and we managed to tie for second place. Our Laura Secord was a lot of fun to put together, and helped to increase the House spirit. This was shown in that we came first in the overall points at Christmas. Ross won the Spelling Bee this year, despite some confusion in the finals. In past years, Ross has been strong in athletes but rather weak in geniuses. Now that we ' ve proven that we do have brains, let ' s make a good showing in the coming sports events. Good luck, Rossites! Barb Downie and Joan Clarkin [21]
