HOUSE REPORTSBURE HOUSEHOUSE STAFFHOUSE CAPTAINSMr . Byrne : Housemaster Penny TurnerMr. ConyersD . TurnerMr . HarrisL . PerryMrs . HarrisMr . MettersMr . Byrne spent his second year as Bure Housemaster providing a great dealof advice and help throughout . I am sure every member of Bure House wishes meto thank him on their behalf .With respect to the work shield, Bure lost its grip entirely owing to the boyswho managed to accumulate thirty detentions .Bure members played a considerable role in this year's production of One forthe Grave . Graham Seaman in the main role of "Everyman" gave an outstandingperformance for what was a large and demanding part . Others participating werePenny Turner, Gillian Claxton, Shelagh Bailey and Paul Fenton .The senior boys had a successful year after beating Yare and drawing withWensum 9 - 9 in the house rugby matches, so that we now share the shield withWensum . David Turner proved himself a good captain and played good rugby in allthe games . Junior rugby started out well with a resounding victory over Wensum15 - 0, but defeat came when we were beaten by a good Yare side .The senior boys won the house shield for basketball, and we can attribute thisresult to good team play ; an outstanding player being John Kelly who was able tofinish off the attacking moves with great efficiency . Junior basketball was disappointing,drawing in their first match which by all accounts they should have won, andlosing their second .Athletics this year was rather disappointing owing to a thirty point standarddeficit before sports day . However, we went into sports day with a lead over Yare,who forced us into third place on the day, but luckily owing to their few standardpoints we scraped into second place overall .On the girls' side we have had several successes this year . Our first camewhen we won the Senior hockey shield . The match against Wensum was played intorrential rain but our team-spirit won the day giving us a 2 - 0 victory . Carol Byeand Doris Hughes deserve special mention for their excellent play . Unfortunatelythe juniors were second to Wensum despite a splendid effort by Carol Butcher whoscored three magnificent goals in one match .The Senior netball team came a disappointing third, but the juniors retainedtheir shield this year, after drawing with Wensum 5 - 5 and beating Yare 16 - 0 . SusanNunn and Brenda George must be commended here for their special effort of scoring10 goals in nine minutes, so that, for once, we just beat Wensum on goal average .
