Houses

In 1983 there were three Houses at Northholm. These were Capell, Patteson and Rowland. Capell was assigned the colour red, Patteson white and Rowland blue, these being the three school colours. However when in 1984 Lincoln House was added and given the colour green, it was decided that since tradition had been broken Patteson could choose the more distinctive colour of yellow.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:

    Wherever there’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever there’s a cop beating up a guy, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad. I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready. And when the people eat the stuff they raise, and living in the houses they build, I’ll be there, too.
    Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)

    If you are going to build something in the air it is always better to build castles than houses of cards.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
    And all that mighty heart is lying still!
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
