Senior League The senior league, which is made up of all the hockey team rejects, had an extremely successful season this year. The main objective of the league is simply to have fun, and in this it excelled. Apart from one broken nose, the odd stitch here and there, and multiple bruises, the squad was injury -free. Mr. Smith was responsible for the success of the league. From start to finish he kept its members constantly ' digging ' and his effort paid off, as our four game record of three wins and one tie shows. ippp » ' ii. .

BACK ROW: Withey, Farrington II, Whitney, Russell, Peart II, Thomson in, Lytle III, Mr. Kenney. a well-earned 3-1 win. We looked eagerly towards the rest of the sche- dule. Our first two games after returning from the holidays indicated that the boys were still filled with either turkey, or stuffing, or perhaps both! We gave the puck away countless times and skated somnolently, re- sulting in losses to Crescent (6-5) and Ridley (3-2). From this point on in the schedule, however, the team really lived up to its promise. In the remaining nine games we won eight and tied one, outscoring the combined oppo- sition 74-14. Captain Ron Withey played outstand- ing hockey both offensively and de- fensively. It was most exciting to see him take off on one of his patent- ed Bobby Orr type rushes.

Swim Team This year the swim team was on trial. The results were mixed. The Juniors won all three meets while the Senior Team was only defeated once, by a very good team at St. Andrews. We also held a strong Ridley team till the final relay. At Ridley the diving was good but more practice will improve I L . . . I. mA I . =} md »r i k the results. However the team is young and there is plenty of reserve in the upper Junior school. Bill Dietrich deserves special men- tion. On two occasions he swam very well to give us a few extra yards in the first leg of the freestyle relay. Had colours been awarded, he would have received them for his swimming. Mike Barber, Dave Stuart, and John Wright, the veterans of last year ' s team, worked very hard, and will form the basis of next year ' s team. Stuart ' s freestyle has been outstanding, and of equal importance has been the all-round strength of Barber and Wright. In the Junior team, special mention must go to Craig Stowe who in Grade 6 shows great promise as a breast- stroke swimmer. Unfortunately for us, he is leaving for Vancouver this summer - we wish him good luck. The other members of the team, both Senior and Junior, have all given their best, many swimming three races per meet. This is the spirit we want. Lastly, we as a team would like to thank Mr. Berriman who organized all our meets himself. Without his encouragement and enthusiasm we would have very little to show for the season.

Martin Kenney and Tony Stafford provided very capable and cool goaltending for the team throughout the season. Mention must be made of the six exhibition games played during the season; these were played on Monday evenings, usually against OakvUle Minor Bantam teams. Our last two games were losses to an outstanding team from Fergus Elora. The last game was played (thanks to Mr. Giffin) in Maple Leaf Gardens and proved most exciting as we were edged 4-3 by the Fergus team. In closing, I would like to say how much I enjoyed coaching the team this year. You proved eager, atten- tive, and always gave your best. You played some very fine hockey. Good luck in the future!
