The Junior School swim team has completed a very successful season of competitive swimming. But of our eight games we only lost three. Our strongest com- petition was the Ridley team. Even with the handicap of having a team that was much youinger than Ridley ' s, at the end of the season we had outmatched them three to two. Our great success was mainly due to the hard work during practices as well as in the actual games. This, combined with our coach, Bear Bailey ' s support made the season a good one. Of all the sv«mmers on the team, two were exceptional. These were our two captains Andrew Crawford-Brown and Chris Chapman. These two did their best to keep the team practising constantly and never let their power go to their heads. Several other swimmers also deserve honourable mention. Duncan Ross, Chris King, Kevin Thompson and Chris Martin all put their very best into it. Overall, the team has had a year of great success and I ' m sure a team with its potential won ' t be along for a long time.

Size was our biggest problem, especially when we played teams that did not or would not meet our age level. So we tried to outskate them. This worked quite well considering the speed that our Captain, Scott Millar, and team- mates Follows, Mull, Bascombe, Merry, Peter Mann and George Mann were able to muster. Defence was the next biggest problem though lots of good ef- forts and improvement came from Wood, Mairs, and Jaworski. Fortunately we had two goalies of good calibre - Petersen II and Henderson - who made spec- tacular saves when they were needed. As a team, we got along very well and our spirit and deter- mination was always visible, even in defeat. Mr. Boyd This season the Under 13 hockey team had its share of ups and downs. At the beginning of the season, Mr. Millar coached us to four straight convincing vic- tories over M.O.H.A. teams. However, Mr. Miller was unable to coach us in the middle and the FRONT ROW: P.

Third Hockey latter part of the season, so Stuart Smith took over as the man behind the bench. At this time the team became overconfident and dropped two hardfought games to Ashbury. Paul Petersen played splendidly in goal holding off attackers, while many of our best players were playing for the first team. Stu did show our team quite a few good playing tips, and he should be congratiilated for his hard work and dedication to the team. Special mention should go to Greg Fournier (our captain and leading scorer), Peter Senst, Scott Guthrie, Lawrence McNally and Mark Barr for supplying us vnth hustle in the corners, goals and a few penalties! Finally the team started to look like a team again at the end of the season thanks to Stuart ' s good coaching, and we broke even in vdns and losses. On behalf of the entire team I would like to thank both Stuart and Mr. Millar for a truly educational and fim season. M. Moffatt

Squash It has been a year of very good progress. When the season began there were several old pros as well as some complete beginners. Both groups have improved significantly. There has been a long and pleasant series of matches with Ridley College beginning with a softball en- coimter in December. However, since Christmas the ZOf ball has been used in all matches. Honours have been evenly divided, although we were particularly pleased to win the last match by a 5-4 margin. Throughout these games Rob Raid, Christian Strucken and Andrew Pepall have played well, but they have had enthusiastic support from Gavin McCulloch, Toby Bronson, Christian De Josselin De Jong, David Bowen, Ian Gordon and Paul McMenemy. The highlight of their season was the Invitational Tournament held here in February. We were surprised and pleased when our ' A ' team defeated the Toronto Cricket Club team 3-2 in the final. The stan- dard of squash played was remarkably high. The weekend before Rob Reid and Christian Strucken entered the Ontario under-14 championship, the first big open tournament for both of them. They were both defeated quite early on, but they were exposed to a good standard. Next year we shall enter more tour- naments for they provide most stimulating and challenging competition. There was also another group who played matches with Ridley and Upper Canada College. They enjoyed these encounters in part perhaps because they were successful. I hope that they will FRONT ROW: Bronson, Strucken, Reid, PepaU, McCulloch. BACK ROW: Mr. Nightingale, De JosseUn de Jong, Gordon. Bowen. continue to perform en- thusiastically because they will certainly gain much pleasure and recreation from the game. The annual Jimior School Tournament still has to be played since the end of term arrived with unwanted speed. For their suc- cessfial play and determined attitude colours were given to Rob Reid, the captain. Christian Strucken and Andrew Pepall. If a prize had gone to the most mobile player Gavin McCulloch would have been the winner, and for sheer determination Toby Bronson was peerless, although he did tend to endanger his opponents hfe. Well played, squash players all. Mr. Nightingale
