Royal Navy 38 HOUSE REPORTS ST. GEORGE'S BOYS The Winter and Spring Terms were very successful ones for the House. The Football Competition was won for the second year running, and the House was also placed lirst in the Basketball Tournament. After winning the Cross Country for the last three years, the House was fully expected to win again this year, but it was let down badly by the junior members who were placed a poor fourth. The Seniors ran extremely well, placing live of their runners in the first seven, but the deficit left by the juniors was too much to make up and we had to be content with second place. The Senior members are to be congratulated on their fine efforts and enthusiasm and I only hope the Juniors will follow their example in the Summer Term when the Cricket, Athletic and Standards Competitions are decided. K.J.G. The House achieved its greatest triumph for several years when it won the Athletic Cup on Sports Day. This success was due to the wholehearted efforts of all the boys in the team. It is the "House Consciousness" which plays a tremendous part in the Sporting activities of the House. We have not been as successful in either Basketball, Football or Cross Country, although we were not forced to accept the wooden spoon in any of these events. With the Summer Term now upon us, we look forward with very confidence to winning the Cricket championship and retaining the Athletics Cup on Sports Day. J.C. On the whole the House record this year has not been at all disappointing. On Sports Day it was only a baton-change that kept us from final victory and it was on that day that our Juniors showed their strength. Nothing being possible in the winter, they were to continue their success in the Cross Country, in the spring, compensating for the not very good results of the Seniors. In Basketball we wenit down against definitely better teams, but no such excue can be made for the footballers of the House all ST. ANDREW'S BOYS ST. DAVID'S BOYS 39
