With house notes it has always been a temptation to merely catalogue all sporting achievements to the exclusion of all else.

Although the house has not been without some success on the sportsfield (especially at the intermediate level, who won their XV a side rugby competition with good future prospects) what has been even more encouraging is the spirit with which everyone has approached all competitions. Even though we possessed no excess of talent it was always apparent that at least the effort was there. As aresult we won the intermediate cross country and came second at the senior level - and the tradition that the last place in the Drill Competition is reserved for Marlborough has been finally broken (but only just).

Visitors to the House have remarked on the pleasant and relaxed atmosphere therin which reflects the right blend of ingredients which typifies a happy House.

Thanks must go to Dick Winchester, Andy Marshal, Ivor Elcock, Dave Rouse, Mike Dearing, and Richard Sandells without whose supported and co-operation could have been accomplished.

Also to the house tutors and Major Lee whose guidance and advice has, always been welcome. Th notes would not be complete without especial thanks to Mrs. Forrester and Chris whose stalwart efforts and care have in no small way contributed to our well being.

It leaves me to wish my successor Andy Fyfe all success in the future and two words of advice -
Book early

M.P.G.

Paul Solly, having escaped without writing his customary bit for Wolfe, we find ourselves attempting to cut down, our list of achievements as we are limited to one volume of the Yorkist.

This year Wolfe dominated the academic front instead of the Sports field. From a collection of respectable A Level grades, Paul emerged with 3 A's and the supreme pessimist Brad Jackson bagged 2 A's and a B, thus continuing a tradition of good grades from Wolfe.

Despite this break into a relatively new field, Wolfe did not abandon completely the physical. side of life, and still managed to give a fair account herself. It is significant that in those sports requiring the most skill and concentration Wolfe found herself faced with laughable competition. This was of of course shooting, in which we won both .303 and .22 contests.

However in those more energetic areas Wolfe, with her delicate skills and techniques, found herself at a distinct disadvantage against the brute force and ignorance of the competition.

Notable examples of this were found in the Rugby 7's and the tug-of-war in which unfavourable playing surfaces prevented our studs from gripping.
