Our young but zealous team poured their hearts into the game, and we almost came away victorious. An- other high point in the season was the BCS tour. Bishop ' s College School from Lennoxville, P. Q. , came down and stayed at the school. There were two games scheduled for them, the first against the Grove who beat us very soundly in league play. However, BCS lost by only one goal in a 2-1 contest. We were to have our work cut out for us. The team, however, rose to the occasion as they put on a good show before a big crowd. The contest ended in a 1-1 tie. Our goal was scored on the prettiest play of the year. Pin-point passing involving all five players was topped off when our Captain D. K. (Moon) Mullen scored from the slot. There were moments during other games when we played very well, but unfortunately they were just moments. All in all, the season may have shown upon paper as a disaster; but never say die, and remember those young, inexperienced players all have a year ' s seasoning and next winter they will all be veterans - so maybe next year. Finally a word must be said about our coach, Mr. Abbott, who, believing in us always, stuck with us through thick and thin. He would always be there when he was needed and not enough can be said to thank him for all he has done.

1st Team Hockey BOTTOM ROW: MacFarlane II, Gross, Mullen, Jenning I, Campbell. CENTRE ROW: Vickers, Streight 1, Naish, Suchanek I, Taylor, Dickens I. BACK ROW: Mr. Larsen, McKenzie, Slattery I, Cande, Gray, Mr. Abbott. Due to last year ' s mass emigration, this year ' s 1st Hockey Team suffered a severe blow. To replace those who left, we recruited some very young and inexperienced players. Although we always gave everything we had, it seemed as if Lady Luck just wouldn ' t look our way. Whenever we managed to keep some pressure on, the opposition would far too frequently come -storming back and pop in a couple before we knew what hit us. Inconsistent play was our major fault, not just from game to game, but from period to period and minute to minute. The highlights of the season, though few and far between, were memo- rable ones. Our game against the Old Boys was nip and tuck the whole way.

n 2nd Team Hockey FRONT ROW: Joseph, Jamieson, Green I, Merritt, Hublit, Droge, Lyall, Lytle II. BACK ROW: Cutler, Brown, Johnson, Labrie, Rosseel I, Machan, Swire, Peart I, Mr. Manbert. Both senior teams have experienced a decided weakness this year with a maximum of thirty two positions. It is really a shame that with such a beautiful arena, so few actually know how to skate properly. This year ' s Second Team did not lack in con- fidence nor effort but unfortunately for many people, the inability to skate negated all the effort put forth. In addition to the above prob- lem, we had boys all the way from Grades 9 to 13, and I feel that this grade gap caused an association problem. To be honest we were terribly weak on defence, mostly because of skating inability. A defenceman must be able to carry and pass the puck without looking at it - this we were unable to do and, regularly,
