The choir continues to be made up very largely ofGillinghamians. A number of boys distinguished themselves in Parliament, but mention should be made of A. Crewe who was a very able Prime Minister and spoke well in the debate against the Durban City Parliament. A. Paterson captained the first rugby team, many other boys representing the school in the various sports. A number of boys have had considerable success in swimming, so it is not surprising that theHouse again won the Gala. The prefects this year were A. Paterson (Head of House), I. Burt, C. Clegg, T. Dowse and M. Nicholls. They continued in the tradition as efficient leaders. To them and the other boys who will be leaving at the end of the year we extend our best wishes for success and happiness in the future. D.L.W. PEMBROKE HOUSE NOTES Pembroke can look back on 1965 with considerable pride. Boys from the House have played a full part in the activities ofthe school, academic, cultural and sporting. The House came out on top in the inter-house athletics, tennis and senior cross-country competi tions. Individuals who have rendered prominent service are; A. Hipkin (head prefect of the school, head of the House,captain of cricket), T. Rawlins (captain of hockey), D. Sommerville (captain of athletics and of the cross-country team, and drum-major of the cadet band). In addition to some 23 colours awards received by boys of the house, the following boys were awarded their sports honours badges: T. Rawlins(hockey); P. Kirkwood andM. Martin (athletics); A. Hipkin and D. Morgan (cricket). Our boys have done well, too, in the non-sporting activities of the College. Salm,Hitler and Roach took leading parts in the school play; Stewart won the sixth form mathematics prize; Levin was Judged the best speaker in a Chamber of Commerce inter-school debate; he also produced, unaided, a short play using Junior boys for the cast; Stamp served well as chairman ofthe Junior Debating Society. We hope that, next year, even more of our boys will make active contributions to the cultural life of the school. The spirit ofgood fellowship which has been a notable feature of our house life has been due in no small part to the fine way in which the prefects have carried out their duties, and for this we record our thanks. 74
