Needless to say we practised constantly to improve our game and to re- store our confidence before the Ridley game. As always, the Black and Orange came out determined to defeat Appleby. Their over eagerness cost them needless penalties and misconducts. Leading with a 3-1 margin, Ridley had the game ' in hand ' but, with less than two minutes remaining, the Double Blue exploded with three goals in sixty seconds. With forty -seven seconds left we managed to hold on for an exciting 4-3 victory. In the return encounter with T.C.S. we played quite well but could not match the scoring power as Trinity beat us by a more respectable score of 5-1. The final game was an I .S.A.A. match against Lakefield. Despite a flurry of goals by our opponents we recovered to score two goals toward a los- ing cause 4-2. Regardless of the record, the members of the team achieved two things - an enjoyment of the game and the ability to try new skills. The rookies de- veloped in fine style under the expert coaching of Mr. Abbott. Those of us who return next season are looking forward to the Zamboni provided through the generosity of Mr. J.S. Gairdner. Quebec Trip Late in February, the team travelled to Quebec to play Bishop ' s College School. It was a very exciting weekend and the team played two games, the first against Alexander Gait High School (lost 4-7), the second against B.C.S. in the arena at Bishop ' s University (lost 1-4). John Coulter takes the team on a tour of Bishop ' s University. Appleby vs. Alexander Gait H.S.

The team had a fairly successful season as far as our win-loss record shows, considering that three of our losses were at the hands of first teams of other schools. However, the season was even more successful in our approach to the game. From the beginning, we were playing for the fun of it. Sure, we liked to win and we did win, but when we lost, we had a good time losing too! Our season was filled with countless memorable moments such as Nick Kleider ' s headlong rushes and occasional boarding infractions, Ken Campbell ' s unbelievable saves, Fud Wright ' s zero angle goals, and Merritt ' s slap-shot(? ). Reg Bonser ' s absence at times seemed questionable but our strength down the centre was never in danger with The Mole . Of course, when we received a penalty, there was nothing to worry about with Joe Bobby Orr Vickers on the ice. He would control the puck all by himself until he lost it! In closing, the team wishes to thank the coach, Mr. Manbert for his support, without whom we would never have had the kind of season that we did.
