RIMU HOUSE NOTES. Term I. 1930. The beginning of the year saw Rimu House back at school, ready ''to put its best foot forward'' in its work and in its play. A few days after the beginning of the trem a meeting was held to welcome Miss Montgomery and all the new Rimus. On the whole the term was very uneventful, and Rimu House did little to attain distinction. In swimming, however, Mary orri and Ola Knight gained proficiency certifi_cates, while Isobel Wright won a bronze medal. At the end of the term we won three blue stripes.
Term IL
Although as a House we do not se m to offer from an excess of ''goodness,'' nor do we eem to be affiicted to any great extent with brains, yet tb re i no doubt that we may raise our heads in the realm of spor or is it only sheer good luck-for, after some very clo and thrilling matches, we won both 'the Senior and Junior netball shi Ids. They now hang in the ball above our House notice-board, and make it look very important. In the drill competitions we bad many very mall people in our team. However, they mad up for th ir ize by their enthu iasm, and we managed to corn third one mark behind Konini, and four mark. behind Kowhai. At the end of this term on rrirl was pr ented with net ball colours and an Honours Gym. badge, and six with blue stripes.
Termm
On the first day of this term a mcmb r of our committee had a surprise in store for us. Kowhai Hou·· had been able to plant a tree to commemorate it xi ·t nc , but we could not do that as our tree is too large, ·o Lath I Ilunt r brought us a beautiful rimu panel, inlaid with feath r rimu. This hangs with our shields in the ball. The term is still young, and although w have not accom pli bed anything yet we have three of our girls in the "A" tennis team, and the House matches have still to be played, the sports to be run, and the result of the quarterly competitions to be announced. Our House colour-green-is ''la coiileur de and with perseverance l'esperance," and o we hope and a little ambition to aid us, we may yet carry off a cup for our bracket.
