Once again Wensum's unfailing team spirit won through on Sports Day . Wehad established a substantial lead in the standards competition which was furtherextended during the afternoon with some fine performances from Davison, N . Lee,Jane Sturman, Christine Staff, Rosemary Pye and Shirley Woods . This ensured thatWensum won Sports Day and the cup for the fifth consecutive year .Chandler, Reynolds, Coghlan, Spicer, Durrant, Mallett, Hill, Linda Spicerand Julie Westrop all took part in the school play One for the Grave which wasproduced by Mr. Miller .In conclusion, this has been a successful year in Wensum's history and wehope that house spirit and enthusiasm built up over the past years will be maintainedin all spheres of school life in the future . We would like to thank all members ofhouse staff and especially Mr . Miller for all the encouragement and support he hasgiven us throughout the year .YARE HOUSEHouse Master : Mr . LewisHouse Staff : Mrs . Catherall, Mr . Paxton, Mr . BaumohlFor the boys, this year was as successful as expected, considering the otherhouses' superior strength, and for this reason, our Seniors lost the Basketball, Rugbyand Cross-Country Competitions . However, effort has been much better than in pastyears and Webster, Copsey, Wallace and Hardy must be thanked for this .The Juniors were more successful, winning the Rugby, and coming second inthe Basketball and Cross-Country Competitions . Special mention must go to Thouless,Lyons, Clarke and Cooper for their efforts throughout the year .On the Girls' side, the Senior Hockey matches at the beginning of the yearseemed an omen of worse things to come . In our first match against Wensum, withthree of the regular team absent, we did well to concede only one goal . The matchagainst Bure, who were overall winners, was a goal-less draw . Credit must go to MaryCameron for her high standard of goalkeeping . The Junior team lost both theirmatches .The Inter-house Netball Competition saw two extremes with the Seniorsresoundingly successful and the Juniors utterly defeated . Jane Goddard's excellentshooting and Susan Hardy's defence helped us greatly . The success of those peoplewho did well in events during the Athletics Season was, unfortunately, counteractedby the shortage of standards collected by the rest of the house . This was wellillustratedwhen we came second on Sports Day but lost overwhelmingly on aggregate. The following people were successful in events : Catherine Trattles, LesleyAttrill, Sally Millward, Andrea Otto and Maxine Keeley .Swimming on the Girls' side showed lack of talent except for Ann Dawsonand Debra Littlejohn . Again there were far too few standards . Our thanks go toSusan Robinson for organising the teams .The house was well represented in the school play-One for the Grave-withNick Hardy in a leading role, well supported by Catherine Trattles, Ann Harbour,David Copsey whilst Sarah Ranger, Sharon Shelly and Lesley Attrill helped backstage.Special mention must be made of Anthony Bradstreet for a remarkableperformance in The Inquiry Office which was performed during the interval of the
