We look forward to singing Rosemary Xrallisiier,s composition in the Choir competition soon. Oh what a talented team we are . . . modest, too i Bu.t o{ course our wonderful purple house could neven have been so successful without the unfailing efforts of our tr-louse teachers, Mrs Kimber, Mr ("they said we'd never make it") Miles, Mrs Hadgraft, Mr Bromiley and Mrs Pepper-Budge, and our efficient and active fi-louse Seniors, Susan Messer, Krishna Fawcett, Allison YuNe and Heidi Webster. Two more absolutely promorional purple people who must be mentioned and proclaimed as the driving force behind Cibrson's success on ihe sports scene are our dynamic sports captains, .ienny Anthon and Narelle Tallon. Oh yes, and we must noi forget Pepe, our consistently cool cat who kept rhe House in good spirits and motivated us with fantastic Pepe pep talks bef ore l--louse competitions. (You thought he couldn't talk, didn't you?) With allthis talent along with tremendously legendary spirit, participation, pride, determination, skill and purple hued.per"- ior-ances, how could Gibson go wrong? lt was these brilliant qualities from each and every fabtrlours, legendary purple person that made it such a memorable yeir for the House, the best house, the House itself " .

Our Gibson Cazette continued its purple path towards editorial fame and thus efficiently informed our legendary house of all the exciting events we parti- cipated in, with tremendously, Iegendary mega spirit. lnter-House artistic and rhythmic gymnastics were great this year with the Gibson Symnasts in simply stunning form, flying, f lipping and floating through the air. In the Cross Country, Gibson also proved that we are a bunch of legends. Congratulations must go to Narelle Tallon who 6roke the record by over one minute to help lead Gibson to yet another victory. This year we welcomed f ive exchange students to our Houie, Keiko Kaino, Tomoko Akata, Miho ldedan and Hiroko Shimura from Japan, and Mel Brereton from Zimbabwe.
