As the Lifesaving is still in progress we shall be kept in suspense until later for the results. Ho'wever, it was good to see two Distinction awards to members of Lilley. It was great thrill to have Miss Lilley with us at the Inter- house Athletics. Again the girls shorved their sporting talent and gained second place. Our congratulations to England House on their win. $ile must also congratulate Robyn Aydon ( Gibson ), Valda J,try (\Toolcock ) and Megan Burfein, from Lilley, for win- ning the Individual Athletic Prize, and Robyn Aydon on her splendid race at the Inter-School Athletics to break the record which had stood since 7939. The inuoduction of Shot Put and Discus to the House Athletics proved a good thing for Lillev House, 4S Barbaru Harris established the record for the Senior Discus, and Sue Byth the record for the Junior Shot Put.
