The record of York house this year is certainly not very
brilliant as we have been surpassed by both Lancaster and
Craven. Though 1 do not wish to make excuses, we have in our
house three boys whose bad behaviour andc arelessness has lost
us 30 house points. 1 regret to say this has happened to us
during the past three terms.

SPORTS EVENTS. |
Running. We have had three races up the mountain, one
race for seniors and relay for both senior and Middle and
juniors combined. The relay was won by the seniors. In the
other senior run N. Hayat came in first but unfortunately was
let down by his tearn. The middle and junior combined lost,
but A. Knaggs proved himself a real trier.
|
Marathon. This was another exciting run. Our house came
but N. Havat of our house won the race. The Middle and junior
school were not a success and here again A. Knaggs ran
exceptlonalls- well and won the Middle School race.
|
Boxing. There were many outstanding fights. R. Dawood
of York House won his fight against M. H. Dawood of Craven
house and put up a good show. A. Knaggs of York house lost his
fight to Greenep of Lancaster house but he did not box so
cleverly as his opponent. I consider the best fight of the
year to have been that which took place between Sim of York
house and S. R. Khan of Lancaster house. Though Sim lost he
fought so bravely that he was awarded the best loser's cup.
|
Rugby. In Rugby Inter-House competitions York Seniors
won their matches both against Lancaster and Craven. Their
good tackling, good passing, all round good play deserved the
victory. The team consisted of :- N. Sultan (Captain), J. Hird,
N. Hayat, J. Vaughan, C. Hainsworth, F. Nanji.
|
I
am sorry to say I cannot give a similar report of our Senior
and Middle School who unfortunately in spite of some good
play, lost one and drew one match.
|
Football. Here we have quite a lamentable tale, we lost
every match. There was very much good work done in those
played by Middle and Senior School and games proved quite
exciting. A. Knaggs and Beckwith put up a splendid show and R.
Dawood (goal-keeper) simply surpassed himself to the amazement
and delight of all present.
|
Indoor Sports. We have had many indoor sports,
handball, volleyball, table tennis, football, tennis, chess
etc. in all of which I think Imay truthfully say we did "very
well".
|
Form Orders. Here again we have not shone. Second,
third and fifth forms were not satisfactory. First and Remove
have done fairly well and we are very grateful to the fourth
form which has helped to pull us out of the bag. B. Gilliani
in IV form has kept his position of Ist throughout the year,
all credit to him.
|
Sports Day. Here again we join the company of the "also
ran". Four silver cups were won and Mrs. John Mayor kindly
consented to present them. The first Victor Ludorum to her son
James Mayor and N. Hayat who won it jointly for the most
outstanding performances in the Senior events. Next to Anthony
Knaggs for the best performance in the Middle School, to
Gordon Barber of the Junior School went the third cup and the
fourth one to Craven House whose members were the winners of
the day. On behalf of York house I must congratulate the
winners on their fine performances. Throughout the year all
the house members have given their best in every way with a
sporting spirit and it has been pleasing to see them accept
defeat in such a way. May we have better luck next time.
