York has had a satisfactory year and the house spirit has been
maintained throughout that time. Boys selected to represent
the house in any team, have always given of their best, and
more ; if such a thing is possible. Those who have not been
selected have given superb support and encouragement to the
others.

divided into 3 divisions, Senior School, Middle School, and

C. Hainsworth, and the Junior event, thanks to Atkinson ii,
both of whom managed to produce pieces of pancake which seemed
bigger than the original !

was divided into three groups. In the Seniors, Knaggs came
first, supported by Beckwith, Nanji, and the rest of the team.
In the Middle School, no-one in our house came in the first
three. In the Juniors, Hall i came second for York.

I
wish to add a word of thanks to both Craven and Lancaster for
their excellent sportsmanship, and for being such keen
opponents in every competition.

members of York for their fine spirit for the house, and I
wish them the best of luck in the future.
