Captain - B. Meares SWIMMING NOTES

Team-spirit was the key word at this year's Inter-House and Inter-School Swimming carnivals. On March 11th; the Inter- House swimming competition was held at the Valley Baths. It was a most successful afternoon with Lilley House dominating the scene in winning the Lieutenant-Colonel Plant Cup for the highest aggregate points and the Burrell Cup for relays. England House was successful also in winning the Lilley Cup for the aggregate points less the relay. The School Championship was won by Barbara Meares and the School Championship Cup was won by Alison Bruce, Vicki Harris, Megan Thomas, Barbara Harris and Barbara Meares. The Dr . Lockhart Gibson Memorial Prize, run on different lines this year, was won by Barbara Harris and Megan Thomas. It was run as a separate carnival in our own pool and was an individual rather than a House competition. The Inter-School Swimming Carnival, held on 18th and 19th March, was most successful and satisfying. Our congratulations go to St. Margaret's for their outstanding performance in winning the main trophies and in breaking several records. Our large team trained very hard under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Winter aided by Miss Hardcastle. Fortunately, the girls had had the benefit of competing in a six-way meet at our School - pool on Saturday, 12th March, and thus they were "experienced" swimmers when the day came. Our sincere thanks go to the schools who provided the keen competition. 27
