Lancaster House Report
1966 |
|
|
The Christmas term began in an easy manner with no great
rush of activities. Near the middle of the term we lost both
rugby House matches against the other houses. In these
matches Swales played a noble game and Whitely was on the
field suitably attired. Looking at things in general the
whole team played unexpectedly well.
|
|
During Mr. Taylor's debates Swales and the Coltart brothers
held their own very well, especially in the Black v. White
debate.
|
Because of excess snow, the school enjoyed one games afternoon
romping in the drifts. Indeed, several hardy explorers
succeeded in conquering Sharp Haw.
|
|
The Easter term is generally the worst for virulent diseases
pervading the school. However, this Easter term was not too
bad except for a one week period of influenza.
|
|
Although the House did not do exceptionally well in the
marathon, and indeed it was a marathon, I would like to
thank those who exerted themselves and the remainder for
moral support.
|
I
would like to congratulate Sellers, Coltart and Parr on being
awarded well deserved rugby colours for their great
contribution to an excellent lst XV.
|
The Summer term began with fine weather which pleased everyone
even if it did eventually soon change. Work pace inevitably
began to hot up when exams seemed to be coming very close.
Thus other activities were curtailed to a certain extent.
However, Sellers was appointed captain of cricket and was
supported by Orme ii.
|
I
would like to congratulate Veitch, Sutcliffe and McMillan on
receiving from the Duke of Edinburgh their Gold Awards. I hope
this example will encourage others to continue with the
scheme.
|
1
would like to thank the whole House for a happy year and also
the House prefects, Veitch, Gill and Sellers for their
support. 1 would especially like to thank Messrs. Whitely and
Swales for their staunch and reliable support.
