We would like to wish everyone luck in cricket, tennis and rounders matches. The main thing to remember is that everything counts, whether you do it in School or on the games field, so everyone must work hard again in the summer term.
The thanks of the House are due to Miss Harris, Miss Carter, Miss Metcalfe, Mr. Jones, Mr. Farrar, Mr. Allan, Mr. Burnett and Mr. Combs for their help and encouragement in all our activities.

Although our prospects of doing really well this year did not seem very great, we have done much of which we can be proud. The hockey team has had a most successful season and has won the cup - well done!
The Senior Rugby team did not come up to our expectations but, thanks to the Juniors, we managed to keep our head above water. Our final position was second. The netball team also reached this position. Unfortunately that ends the list of our achievements.
Congratulations to the six gallant seniors who completed the cross-country course. We appreciate their courage.
Apart from the successes mentioned, our progress this year has left much to be desired. there is still time to improve our position. Let us have more stars and fewer stripes next term, Holgate.
The summer term is one in which Holgate usually shines. Quite a number of our cricketers have left but there are still enough with us to give our opponents a hard time. If the tennis team do as well as the hockey team we shall be more than pleased - good luck to them.
Athletics are usually our strong point. Do not let our reputation down, either before Sports Day, or on the Day itself.

We have not done well enough so far this year. We have only managed to gain second place in rugger and cross-country, and third in netball. In hockey the girls have won two matches out of five. Credit here must go to the Juniors who have won both their matches. The Seniors, it must be said, have disappointed us but we know, (or we hope) they have done their best.
Stripes have been kept down this year but co-operation is still needed from a handful of stripe-gatherers. Can these people take note that two of last term's worst offenders have made a marvellous recovery and now lead the way in star-gathering?
The approach of the Summer term opens yet another field for the talents of Price House sportsmen and Sportswomen, and it is in these spheres that we hope we shall excel.
Scholastic efforts must not be overlooked in the forthcoming term. We wish all Price House S.C.(School Certificate) and H.S.C. (Higher School Cert.) candidates the best of luck. It is also up to Price House pupils to try and keep in the top half of the form in ordinary school work.
In past years we have been very lucky in possessing outstanding individuals to bring honours to Price House, but this year, lacking such people, we must endeavour to pull together.Remember, Price, every point helps towards the blue ribbon being placed around the Challenge Cup for yet another year.
This year we have already welcomed Miss Whitworth and Mr. Haynes to Price House, and we should like to thank them, together with Miss Wimpenny, Mr. Manning, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Stockhill, for their untiring help and encouragement throughout the year. We regret that Mr. Johnson and Mr. Haynes will be leaving us at the end of the year, but we wish them every success in their new posts.

Talbot
Once more we are coming to the end of a School year which has been on the whole, quite successful. The matter of stars and stripes still needs watching, although we can report a distinct improvement this term.
On the Sports field there have been both successes and disappointments. The boys in particular have done very well indeed, winning both the Rugby Cup and the Cross-Country - both results of team spirit. The girls had hard luck as regards the Hockey Cup, but no comment is necessary on the netball results.
Bright hopes are entertained for next year's attractions, namely cricket, tennis, rounders, Sports Day and the Swimming Gala, and we feel sure Talbot will feature prominently in most, if not all of them.
Special mention must be made of Mr. Storer, who, after twenty-six most valuable years of service both to the House and the School is unfortunately leaving us. We feel sure that past and present members of Talbot House wish him much happiness in his well-earned retirement.
We regret, too, the transfer of Miss Whitworth to Price House and fell sure they have made an acquisition.
Our thanks are also due to Miss Horsefield, Miss Jackson, Mrs. Copley, Mr. Atack, Mr. Foy, Mr. Swinbank (especially for his Rugby advice) and Mr. Owen for the unfailing support and encouragement they have given us throughout the year.
