yards relay team also secured records. Peter Monks was Senior Boys’
Champion.
In inter-house tennis, football, cricket and cross-country race we
did not do so well, although we came a close second to Liney in the
football.

Graham Curtis (swimming); Peter Hamilton and Glynn Edwards (foot
ball); Annette Curtis and Malcolm Wilson (tennis); James Crammond
and Robert Buzacott (cricket); Selwyn Loynes and Peter Monks

In closing, we would like to thank our teachers, especially Miss
Nixon, Miss Hais and Mr. Hazell, for their invaluable help during the
year. Thanks also are due to the vice-captains, Anita Eizenbergs and
Dennis Whitty for their work behind the scenes. Griffith House boys
would like to extend to Mr. Hazell their gratitude for his invaluable
help in the preparation of the oval for the inter-house athletic
competition.

LILLEY HOUSE
House Captains: Liga Mezmails, Stuart Napier.
“Consider the Lilleys of the field; they toil not, neither do they spin.
Yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of us.’’
We got away to a very good start this year by winning the much
coveted swimming cup which Lilley House had not held previously. P.
Baker, giving a very fine display, won the girls’ junior championship,
and K. Paxman won the boys’ minor championship. Congratulations to
the other champions. We were well represented in the State Secondary
Schools’ competition by our girls, B. Arnold, J. McQuillan, J. Cafferky,
and L. Newcombe, and the following boys, R. Wren, G. Drew and E.
Taylor.
In Inter-House Rugby League each House fielded two teams. Al
though expected to come third, Lilley House walked off with the new
trophy presented by last year’s Seniors, by winning three games out of
four. In Inter-School fixtures, Ray Wren ably captained the School’s
“A” team and N. Smith was captain of the 8 stone 71b. team.
Lilley girls were well represented in the School basketball teams.
Jill Paterson captained the “A” basketball team, there being four other
Lilley girls on the “A” team, as well as several in the “B” team. Lyn
Newcombe was captain of the girls’ “A” tennis team. Lilley House
had a comfortable win in the inter-house basketball and is now all set
to win the girls’ tennis, which is to be played.
We unfortunately lost our strategic lead on sports day, when, owing
to great generosity on our part, Wentworth were allowed to forge
ahead and win the Past Students’ Athletics Cup. However we had quite
a successful day. Jill Paterson won all her events and obtained the
girls’ senior championship, and Peter Jocumsen was the junior boy
champion. We held all first and third placings in the three cricket ball
throws. The ball game teams acquitted themselves very well, and
special mention should be made of the minor teams who broke three of
the ball games records. Other records attained by our House were
those of P. Locke, junior 440, and A. Klaikalietis, open shot putt.
