HOUSE NOTES THE GROVE The first day of term brought relief to some, for our only new boy, M. C. B. Burbidge, had astonishingly dark hair. There were two new monitors, Field and Macdonald; doubtless their biological background will stand them in good stead. In the sporting world we performed creditably without being outstandingly successful. After a dead heat our Senior boat lost in the semi-final to the eventual winners, and the Junior crew lost in the final. The squash and chess teams were both narrowly defeated at the semi-final stage by Queen's and School House respectively. During the term two squash ladders were started, and the game became very popular particularly among the Junior Middles. Kirby is to be congratulated on winning the Open Competition. The cancellation of the sports and the cross-country was very disappointing, but the achievement of second in the Standards was an extremely good effort by the whole House and did bring some compensation. In the School hockey XI there were two members of the House; Kirby was the captain and P. B. Burbidge was awarded his colours; in the 2nd XI we had Layfield, the captain, Bellwood, and Mackay. As usual the House was well represented in school activities, and this was emphasised once again by the presence of many Grovites in the School concert. 12
