At the beginning of another school year, Fawsitt House has welcomed many members who, we feel sure, will do their best to gain merit for the House.  At the close of last term the House lost a number of its senior members including the two captains and so a change in captaincy took place. We have great confidence in the two newly-elected captains who aim to make the House successful under their leadership.  We would like to congratulate a senior member of the House who was chosen head-prefect for the coming year and we wish him every success.

Last term was quite a successful one for Fawsitt House.  The end-of-term presentations saw our House gain the Merit Shield with our efforts in examinations.  The House takes this opportunity to thank its members for their splendid work.  Although we failed to win any other awards, we are pleased to know that Fawsitt House competitors proved stiff opposition in swimming, athletics, tennis, rounders and cricket.  If bad weather had not prevented the completion of several matches, we might have been considered for the Games Cup.  With the start of the winter games, many Fawsitt House members have gained places on the first teams.

Although Fawsitt has improved greatly upon last year's results, with a little more effort we may come out top in the coming series

We are pleased to welcome a number of first formers to Lees House and we hope they will all try hard to maintain the standard of work for their House.

We were very sorry to lose Mr. Nicholls at the end of last term and I am sure we shall miss his valuable assistance, but in his place we welcome Mr. Evans and hope that his stay will be very pleasant.  With the departure of Frank Smith, Angus Taylor was elected boys' House Captain and James Marsh, Vice-Captain.  Sheila Knott is still girls' House Captain.

Lees House was quite successful last term.  We succeeded in winning the Games Shield and the Sports Shield.  In the Merit Shield we were second, but I am sure that with a little more effort we could have won this trophy. I am afraid that a much greater effort was needed in the swimming gala for we finished third.  Next time we hope there will be a greater number of entries and more enthusiasm shown.

If we maintain the standard set on the playing field, and make a greater effort in school and at the swimming gala, we should do even better next year.

Finally, I should like to thank the members of the House and the staff for their work and encouragement during the term.

JEAN DYSON, VI Gen.

With the start of another school year we welcome all the new members to Walton House, who, we hope, will contribute greatly to the success of the House.

At the end of last term our House officials left us, some to take up studies at University and Training College.

Last term we were successful and came first in the Swimming Gala and second in the Sports.  This, however, did not put us in very good stead for the Games Shield because we came third.
More effort will be needed this term if we are to succeed in gaining the Work Shield as we have now been in third place for two years.
