Talbot House Notes
1933-34
The beginning of another School year introduces new scholars, and to those who have been made members of Talbot House we are now speaking. First you must learn to cultivate a loyal House-spirit, and realise that everything you do affects your House either for better or for worse.
Talbot suffers from individual independence; the majority of our members work for stars merely to cancel stripes which could easily have been avoided. Such offences as “disobedience and impudence” or “homework not done” are absolutely inexcusable. Unfortunately those people who have been in School for three or four years do not set the juniors an example which in any way helps their House. In future then, let us all try and work together so that we may once more be holders of the House Cup.
This year Talbot has had the honour of providing for the School both the Head Girl and the Head Boy - Sybil Howson and J. N. Thorpe. Although we regret this loss to the actual House itself we must congratulate them and wish them all success. Since there have been no House Competitions this year other than the old one of stars or stripes, there has not been much opportunity for us to pull up our position from second to first. Although we are only second, Holgate has a good lead which is gradually increasing every week, and if we slack now, at the very beginning of the year, we cannot expect to find ourselves on top.
Practise hard on the games field, show you have ingenuity by providing send-ups, work with all your might for your House so that you may be the one of whom Talbot House is proud. We have a most enthusiastic House Mistress in Miss Shortridge, and a responsible House Master in Mr. Storer; let us see to it that we do not fail them. To both we offer our most sincere thanks and appreciation for the help they have given us this term.
