Holgate House Notes

Last year Holgate won the School cup for the first time in several years. We hope the wave of enthusiasm for all house matters will continue in the middle and lower school, and will extend to the seniors. Probably none of you will remember the last time Holgate won the Challenge Cup, but as you can see from the records in the Hall we held it for three years in succession and surely we can do that again.
Now let us extend a hearty welcome to all new members. We may not know you all personally, yet we hope you will do your best for the House. There are complaints even in the first term. Hockey and Netball practices are not at all satisfactory. Girls absent themselves on the very slightest pretext. This is very unsporting and unfair to really keen members of the House. At Rugby also we notice a scarcity of senior Holgate boys turning out for games. This must be remedied before the House matches next term.
With reference to stars and stripes we congratulate ourselves on being the first to cross the line and appear on the positive side of the graph. This would have happened sooner if it had not been for the heroic efforts of some people who take a pleasure in reaping in a large number of stripes, thus spoiling the good work of the rest of the House. More thought and enthusiasm is needed please. Remember, no stripes, plenty of stars and as many points as possible. The last may be obtained in many ways, such as being well placed in the quarterly orders. Also there is nowadays a strange dearth of send-ups, which are a valuable source of points. Boys please notice this and do not leave it all to the girls. Now let us thank E. Cullingworth, E. Keeling and Whittle who take such a keen, though voluntary, interest in games.
In conclusion let us thank Miss Clifford and Mr. Collette for their valuable help during the term.
