As usual the House was well represented in minor sports, with two captains and four colourmen-Guest and Holland in shooting, Worthington in sailing, and Hague in running. The showing in the House Music Competition was good, though KING ALFRED HOUSE had mixed success this term. In the Hockey House this was mainly due to the hard work and patience of Yates. Pierce and Hague, both matches both teams were unfortunate enough to lose in the first round by an unlucky did unexpectedly well in the individual squash competition, and various members of goal. In the steeplechase as well, the teams did not shine. A very young senior side came third, but should do exceptionally well next year, while the juniors, with a bit the House helped to produce the Drama Workshop Play. An improvised senior more effort, could have done much better than they did. However, the House basket­ hockey team was reasonably competent, though it was really based on the individual ball team did very well and cruised through a succession of easy wins until meeting skill of Newberry and Guest. The junior team on the other hand was exceptionally defeat at the hands of the Fox. The House was well rep1esented in all school teams; good and the enthusiasm shown was quite unbelievable. Undoubtedly it will not be with five members of the 1st XI, and three members of the fencing side. Furthermore long before Tuckwell reaches the position it deserves. the House supplied a great deal of the Drama Workshop Staff, and the Choir. Above all, the House excelled itself in gymnastics-four gymnasium records were broken by WOODARD HOUSE enjoyed only a rationed degree of success this term. members of the House. With only a limited amount of running talent, the House still managed to achieve third place in the Steeplechase Cup. Monk, in particular, moreover, did exceptionally well to win both the junior cup comfortably, and his School colours in only his second term of running. This achievement brings the House's number of school CARPENTER HOUSE started the term by a very spirited effort in the House colourmen to six-including two captains : Alderman in Hockey and Wells in Steeplechase.

  • Mount House School 2007/2008 Mount House School, Tavistock 2007/2008 Fanfare STUD
    Fanfare Mount House School 2007/2008 Mount House School, Tavistock 2007/2008 Fanfare STUD Y View from the Study The view from this study this morning is one of rural beauty and timelessness. In the distance Tavistock is cloaked in a layer of mist lying beneath a deep blue sky. Grand and ancient trees provide shape and colour to the view, which slowly evolving, would have been familiar to many generations of pupils, parents as well as headmasters in reflective mood. At my back are the stately buildings of Mount House with their own permanence and rich history, full of happy, eager youngsters. All of this seems entirely at odds with the current turmoil in financial markets and the rising sense of disquiet among many ordinary people as the implications of recent events slowly creep into our understanding. As we slowly unravel this complex trail of credit, debt and security we come to question how much of the relentless increases we have seen in our material standard of living has been built on smoke and mirrors and what will be left behind when we get back to the heart wood. The annual conference for prep school headmasters was held in Liverpool this year. As European city of culture it seemed full of life, optimism and the spirit of regeneration. What struck me most though were the fabulous older buildings around the dock area, monuments to a bygone age of corporate grandeur, wealth and permanence. The White Star building seems to say ‘Here we are. Ours is a great company and we have an enduring sense of purpose.’ Within its walls one suspects that, rather than being incentivised by share options, bonuses and short term contracts, their executives were deeply committed to the ideals and aims of the institution (misguided though some of them may have been).
