p46 Tournament and came a close second in the Tournament: both gratifying results for all concerned and a reward for the hard work involved. ANGELA WOOLLEY. ST. ANDREW'S BOYS The house has had a fairly successful year and I would like to thank members for their enthusiastic support although I feel that we might have done better in the senior part of the house with even more support from our older members. P. BAILEY. ST. DAVID'S BOYS Following the narrow victory on Sports Day and the retaining of both the Athletics Cup and Standard Shield, the House has not put up a wonderful showing in any competition this winter. Whilst the juniors deserve full credit, the seniors have suffered acutely from the lack of Sixth Form representation in the teams. This situation, caused by people leaving, appears to have hit St. David's particularly severely. The Sports Day victory was achieved despite the departures of two of our athletes and the drafting in of substitutes at the last minute. [Prospects for the cricket and athletic competitions look reason ably bright. A better showing is expected in the cricket competition following last year's poor display primarily resulting from the departures already mentioned. With a determination to overcome its difficulties the House can once again retain the Athletics Cup and the Standards Shield for the third year running. G. ADAMS. ST. GEORGE'S BOYS St. George's has had a moderately successful season this year. The house football and basketball honours were easily attained but, owing to the absence of senior members, the house could only manage third place in the cross country championship. I would like to thank all members who helped and supported the house this season. R. BUDGEN. ST. PATRICK'S BOYS We began rather badly by losing the first three house football matches. After Christmas we did better and managed to win two of the remaining matches, thus securing second place in the house championship with our junior team as runners-up. We ended the Spring term by winning both junior and senior cross-country races and I would like to thank all members for their support in these events. E.

SOCIAL REPORT Our social programme for '64 '65 got off to a fairly good start with a dance, held in the School Hall on Friday, 10th October. It was very well attended, and every one appeared to enjoy the music provided by the Chicanes, a group from Hayes. After vari ous expenses had been taken care of, it was found that we had actually made a profit a thing almost unheard of these days, as far as social functions are concerned! Another informal "get-together" was held at the beginning of March in the school library. Music, with a wider appeal than in the past, was provided by a tape-recorder, kindly loaned and operated by Derrick Butcher. The highspot of the evening was the current Prospect Players' film about Robin Hood and his various escapades. Although the attendance was down on past socials, only about 40 people came, those present had an enjoyable time. At the moment, the next event in the social calendar is the annual cricket match with the school. It would be most gratifying if more Old Scholars could support their team. MARGARET BUTCHER (Hon.
