During the first term only five matches were played. Those played by the 1st team against Jameson, Roosevelt, Chaplin, were won and those against Townsend and Queen Elizabeth were lost. This term we beat Roosevelt a second time and are looking forward to playing Jameson again. The 2nd team was very successful and lost only one match.

In the Matabeleland Championships Pat Walkden won both the Under 16 and Under 18 singles. She also won the Under 18 girls' doubles, playing with (J. Timms and the Under 18 mixed doubles with J. Bartels. Our congratulations go to Pat for subsequently being chosen to play for Matabeleland.

The 1960 school tennis championships were won by A. Micklesfield, who beat L. Evered, in the senior section and, in the junior section, P. Walkden, who had a walkover as D. Forman was ill. A Micklesfield and P. Walkden beat M. Conradie and M. Nicholson to win the Cosen's doubles trophy.

This season was a successful one for the 1st team despite their bad start. The team was very unsettled and lost the first match to Thornhill. However we were extremely fortunate to have the help of Mrs.Walkdeu who gave up her time to assist in coaching us and who encouraged us immensely. After losing one more match, to Jameson, the team settled down, winning matches against Townsend, Northlea, Que Que, Mabelreign, St. Peters and Technical College, drawing with Roosevelt and Chaplin and losing only to Girls' High School. We also played a match against Technical School, which we lost.

The 2nd team had some good matches this season and their losses equalled their wins and draws. In a well supported and entertaining match the girls beat the staff in the annual girls versus staff hockey match.

In the senior section of the Inter-House matches, Langdon beat Connaught in an exciting and close game. Northward defeated Athlone in the Junior section. The cup was won by Langdon with Northward as runner-up.

Congratulations go to P. Walkden, J. McNeill, H. Stow and T. Francis on their selection for the Matabeleland A team and to H. van den Heever, and T. Thompson who were selected for the Matabeleland B team. Special congratulations go to P. Walkden, our main goal scorer, who was chosen to play for the Rhodesian Schoolgirls' team.

Colours were awarded to P. Walkden, J. McNeill and H. Stow.

At the beginning of this year the athletics team showed great promise and enthusiasm. A large number of girls came regularly for training, although a few were not up to the 1960 team's standard.

Thanks to the hard work and excellent training by our staff, the team chosen for the Athletics meeting, in the first term of this year, was very successful. Eveline won the McHigwalong Cup for the second year in succession, with 105½ points, and Townsend was the runner-up, with 95 points. The other schools who took part were St. Peters, Northlea and Convent. This victory was the reward of hard, regular training. Congratulations go to the girls, and to Mrs. Withersand Miss Katzenellenbogen for their kind co-operation in making this year such a success.

Three records were broken by Eveline, the 100 yards, under 14, by M. van Niekerk, the Under 14 Long Jump, by E. MacLoughlin, with a record jump of 15 feet 5 inches., and the Under 14 High Jump, by L. Schofield, with a jump of 4 feet 9 inches.

Colours were awarded to R. Hitchcock.

Team girdles were awarded to:

Seniors: Z. Walker, T). Miskin and A. Pieterse.

Juniors: S. Baynard, E. Benzon, M. Hyde, G. Powell, R. Brazendale, L. Lambert and A. White.

This year has been a great success, and I hope that next year this high standard of achievement will be

maintained.

RUTH HITCHCOCK.
