For the first time in its ten years, Einstein won the Quiz Cup. Most of the House contributed to this maiden victory, and we were pleasantly surprised by the emergence of some unknown talent in our House, notably M. Glanger. We started off well in the chess season, too, but lost much ground towards the end, when for the first time in many years we had to give Balfour best. F. Nonoo deserves special mention in this field. As a result of our record in these events, we also won the Nobel Bowl. In sports, we have to date chalked up wins in football, cross-country and fencing. The first is a maiden victory for us, though in the fencing our win came as no surprise. Of our juniors, L. Davis, G. Noble and G. Levy deserve mention for their fine running in the cross-country, and among the all-rounders, F. Nonoo and I. Adler are outstanding. Under the Sports Captain, L. Mandel, the House has finally rid itself of our persistent image as sports failures. Well done all! Mention should be made of J. Shaanan, who was our Captain until he left at the end of the first term. Now the House is going from strength to strength. We look forward confidently to the future .J.KLEIN, HOUSE CAPTAIN. HERZL HOUSE REPORT Since our arrival at Handcross, Herzl House spirit has undoubtedly shown a marked improvement. Boys are now much more eager to participate in House activities, and are taking a greater interest in the future of their House. Last term, the active participation of many boys in the House entertainment spurred us on to greater efforts and enabled us to come second. Having regrettably lost Richard Mandel on the academic side and Sylvain Lubelski on the sports side, our progress has been slightly retarded, but the effort that has been put into the inter-House quiz and sports events promises that it will not remain so for long. The cross-country runs, football and basketball matches have all been played with great enthusiasm, and many thanks should go to our Sports Captain Iraj Illoulian, whose efforts and encouragement have been invaluable. One criticism however, is that too much reliance is placed on the efforts of certain boys in the House. Everyone has to pull his weight and if this is done then all our efforts will be rewarded in the end. A. WYMAN, HOUSE CAPTAIN Page 5 Previous Page Next Page Back to Main Page
