The most impressive aspect of this year ' s team was their con- tinuous progress and effort. They molded themselves into a ' team ' in the true sense of the word. Although some players stood out, no one player deserves all the credit. As a group they should be congratulated for their spirit and drive to become a vdnning team. A special mention of Mann must be made since his leadership on and off the field was an example for all to follow. The keys to our attack were the strong two-way play of Petersen, Barr and Thomson at half com- bined with the ever-present threat of Mann and Bronson as strikers. As our vkringers became more potent and the defense anchored itself around Strucken, these players made their presence felt at the opponent ' s goal. Coach ' s Quips Icabod Martin: I hope his legs stop stretching. Zenon Petersen: a future place kicker for the Argos. Major Mann: — Bionic heart - he doesn ' t check an opponent, just flattens them! Fuzzy Thomson: soccer en- cyclopedia who needs a ' Double D rocket assist on each hip. Barr, Krane: The Mighty Midgets Magilla Guthrie: a gorilla in goal. The Terrible Toby Bronson: the major ' s right hand man with fast feet and a quick mind. Mr. Bailey First Soccer 12 : K FRONT ROW: Sidford, Fournier, Ross, Mann, Barr, Krane, Strucken. MIDDLE ROW: Petersen, Vernon, Duncan, Guthrie, Bronson, Martin. BACK ROW; Mr. Bailey, Thompson.

Blue Jays beat Boston, and the other a farewell night out for all grade 8 ' s to Burlington Bowl. Quote of the year has to go to Chris King who, wishing to avoid an inspection of the chest of drawers in the cubicle asked Mr. Berriman if he would please drop the drawers . An attempt to start an aero- modelling club was not successful due to the lack of time late in the year, and the complicated structure of the planes bought by the boys. This activity wrill start early next year with a totally new kind of model as standard to begin with. In complete contrast with the Rocket Club which had nimierous highly successful launches throughout the year and in which the boarders were prominent. Mr. Boyd however must take last word as the builder of the incredible Mean Machine. He tells me he plans a three tier three D powered machine of his own design for next season. My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed this year vdth all its ups and downs, and in saying goodbye to two-thirds of the house at one go, we look forward to an exciting new start in the fall.

2nd Soccer FRONT ROW: Rogers, Bowen, Senst, Freeman, Appleby, Reid. MIDDLE ROW: Gairdner, Plank, King, McNab, Headley, Crawford-Brown. BACK ROW: Mr. Berriman, Mutimer, Richardson, Chapman, McCleary. This was one of the best teams we have had in recent years. The defence was sohd, fast, and boasted several players who could clear the ball at least half the length of the field. Out- standing in this department were Dave Bowen in goal, Chris Chapman at half back and Mark Freeman at half back also. The forwards made up for lack of ball control by making the most of occasional opportunities to score. Peter Senst proved to be a prolific goal scorer, with Rob Reid showing plenty of ability on the left wing. Rob was occasionally so fast in his moves that the ball failed to keep up with him; many promising attacks came to nought as a result of the ball ' s inability to keep up with the forwards. However, Won 5, Tied 1, Lost 3 is a creditable record- well done. J.B. The Third team had an ex- tremely successful season and were undefeated in thirteen games. Most of the credit for this must go to a few key players who made outstanding contributions to the team but, as is always the case, many fine performances were turned in by every player on the team. Richard Archer and John Kirkpatrick had particularly strong seasons and their play, combined with the energetic and enthusiastic play of the rest of the team more than compensated for a lack of defensive skill which was evident occasionally. Mr. McLean FRONT ROW: McNally, Gordon. Pepall, Archer, Kirkpatrick, McCulloch, De Josselin, De Jong. BACK ROW: Easson, Meredith, Moffat, Lewitt, Morris. 3rd S occer
