I hbpe all Lillev House will ruork hard for tG succeis which I'm sure thev will have in future years - enthusiasm by a majority would ensure greater success, enjoyment and fellowship in all fields of school life.

Although we did not excel in any par- iicular field, thi members of the house displayed encouraging enthusiasm and endeavour in all that was tied. \fe were very pleased with our success in the Inter-house Swimming Competition, in which we came second, an improvement on last year's placing. \7e also fared well in the Inter-house Athletics, retaining last year's third position. Congratulations to Barbara Jordan .vho shared the Individual Points Trophy, together with Heather Page (Griffith ) and Suzanne Nixon (Griffith). Although we oirly gained fifth place in the closely contested Inter-house Singing Competition, the result rvas satisfactory as we were only six points behind Gibson House, the winner, and the response from the members of the house, espec- ially the younger ones, v/as very pleasing to see. The House extends its thanks to Alison Hill, the conductor, and its two pianists, Judith Secomb and Jeanette Howman for theit help and guid- ance. Unfortunately, the Senior debating team \pas eliminated in the first round, but we hope the Juniors will have better success in the next {ew weeks. Our volleyball team has done particularly well this year, teaching the finals, being defeated by Griffith only after a time extension. Again, the team work and house spirit of the members v/as commendable. Now that 1968 is drawing to a close, I would like to thank our house mistresses, Mrs. Stenders, Mrs. Kugelman, Mrs. \7illiams and Miss Trotter for their invaluable support and guidance in the running and organization of the house this year. Finally, I would like to wish \Toolcock House in the many years to come, the very best of good luck and success.
