we do congratulate Kennedy on their convincing win. V. Cutlack and L.
Robertson were representatives in school teams. The boys inter-house fixtures
are not yet finalised.
Five teams were entered for girls basketball fixtures and this resulted in a
victory for Cunningham. Our girls in school teams were: L. Jones (D. Grade
captain), J. Whitney, P. Paterson, E. Robson and H. Sands.
Our boys have entered two teams into inter-house cricket. This is not yet
finalised but so far we are leading in points. Keep it up boys ! We have an
average representation in inter-school teams. Our boys are represented in most
inter-school football teams, and we have a particularly good number in the
6 stone 10 lb. team.
Several Cunningham girls played in inter-school hockey. Although golf is
not yet an interschool sport for girls Ruth Hogg is captain of the school
players.
The main winter event was the athletics carnival. Despite our defeat,
the open girls championship went to Heather Sands, while Freddie Feige was
under 15 boy champion. Although in many events we were not successful
we proved that we could work together as teams. In our relays we gained
three firsts, two seconds and two thirds. The girls open relay team broke the
record. Other records were broken by R. Ricketts (open broad jump), R.
Deighton (under 16 high jump), H. Sands (girls’ open 220 yards). Other
competitors worthy of comment were: L. Jones, H. Sands, D. Ball, M. Boone
and E. Petersons in the girls and W. Morgan and P. Bond in the boys.
The captains would like to thank Mrs. Gallagher, Mr. Gallwey, Miss
Power and Mr. Horwood for their assistance in organising and coaching the
teams. We would also like to thank the vice-captains Ruth Hogg and Terry
Randall, and seniors Jennifer Whitney and Walter Morgan, who were always
ready and willing .to assist. We could not conclude these notes without a word
of gratitude to Miss Deaville and Mr. Mayfield whose hard work assured the
smooth running of the various activities.
