We thank Mr and Mrs Jeannot for the invaluable contribution they have made to the life of Pembroke House, and we wish them and their children success in the future. Next year we will be welcoming Mr C. Diedericks and his family to Pembroke, when Mr Diedericks takes over as Housemaster. We wish all leavers success in their future lives, and express the hope that their stay in Pembroke has been a worthwhile one. B.W.Tucker The first few weeks of the year were very busy as was to be expected. Most of the Halcy boys had a lot to learn about their new surroundings. They settled down well without too many tears. Cricket and swimming were the main 1st Term activities. Polkinghorne(U14) did very well in swimming, winning the backstroke and crawl. Houston broke the U13 breaststroke record. Polkinghorne also excelled in athletics, winning the 100, 200 and 300 metres events, as well as the high jump and long jump. Seven of the very successful U14 A cricket side came from Haley House this year. The prefects of the house also enjoyed a successful year in the sporting scene; they are hoping to be equally successful in the academic sphere. Taylor (Vice-captain) and Havemann represented the 1st XV and received their colours. Hagemann was captain of the 2nd XV and of the 3rd XI. Oliver was a member of the very successful Kearsney relay team, and was awarded Athletics colours. The 4th form boys in the Cottage were very helpful in aiding the prefects. Pons was awarded academic colours, while Small represented the 2nd XV. Throughout the year the boys have co-operated well and by so doing have helped each other to have a good year. R.
