York House Report 1957

York House has had a very satisfactory year and put up a good show in everything attempted. We have won one cup of the three so far competed for, the Marathon Cup. Since September all members without exception have done everything possible for the house in both work and play. The House spirit has never declined and has been a great advantage in all that we have done as a House. Now to get on to our victories and defeats.
 
CHRISTMAS TERM.
Rugby. We beat Lancaster 17-6 and were indeed lucky to. draw 3-3 with Craven. Our Junior and Middle School team put up an excellent show but were defeated by both rivals.
 
Boxing. All our boys put up a courageous fight even when losing badly. York came last by two points.
 
EASTER TERM.
Rugby. We played Craven first and only fine tackling by Knaggs kept them out. Eventually we scored a try in the dying seconds to win the game 3-0. The game against Lancaster was not so good and we were defeated 11-3.
The junior and Middle teams lost both their matches against their rivals.
 
Mixed Soccer. Our first match was against Lancaster House and after a close game ended victoriously by one goal to nil. We were defeated by Craven House by 2-0. Dawood v, our goalkeeper saved many goals but was unable to stop the onslaught of Craven.
 
Form Orders. York has done very well throughout the year in the form orders.
 
Marathon. In the Seniors Hayat came first, Knaggs second and Beckwith fifth and were supported by the rest of the team. In the Middle School Hodkinson came first, Baker I and Fairburn supported him. In the juniors York did not do very well. On the average we won the House Cup.
 
SUMMER TERM.
Sports. York did very well indeed in coming second five points behind Craven. Atkinson won the Junior Victor Ludorum.
 
As I said before this has been a very satisfactory year for York and I hope we can keep up this standard in years to come.
 
Before I end this House Report I would like to thank both Craven and Lancaster for their sportsmanship in every competition.
 
J. VAUGHAN (House Captain).
