21 Interscholastic Hockey Games A.H.S. TROUNCES ST. PAT'S Monday, February 25. Sparked by a three-goal effort by Wing- man Al Dixon and superb goal-tending by veteran Alex Olyarchuk, the A.H. pucksters defeated St. Patrick High School 4-l. Coach Clyde MacLellan's boys displayed an improved brand of hockey and completely outskated the St. Pat's six for the better part of the game. The Joule Street boys gained an early lead, halfway through the first stanza, on a goal by Al Dixon, and maintained it for the rest of the game. During the second period, the Arvida High Squad again proved superior to their ad- versaries. Al Dixon and Art McLeod both notched tallies during this canto, which were the winning points of the game. During the final stanza, the home team settled down to a defensive play. Al Dixon completed his hat trick during the dying mi- nutes on a shot from his own blue line, after Coach Savard had pulled goaler Manfred out. Robert Marinacci spoiled goalie Olyar- chuk's chances of a shutout with only ninety seconds of play left. The contest was fast and skilful, with the A.H.S. showing more speed and passing ef- ficiency most of the way. This rounded out the teamls schedule and left them with one win, one tie, against four losses. D. HUDSON K.P.H.S. OUTCLASSES A.H.S. In their last scheduled game against Keno- gami, the Arvida High met defeat by a score of 4 to 2. Al Dixon was the star of the game for the Arvidians by notching both goals with McLeod and Hurley assisting. Glen Edwards shone for the visitors, obtaining one goal and two assists. The other tallies for the visitors were obtained by Scotty Stewart, Harold Hicks and John Matthews. Referee Percy McLellan dished out penalties to Dixon, Farmer and S. Stewart. A.H.S. LOSES SEMI-FlNAL OPENER The St. Patrick High School made a sensa- tional comeback by delivering the A.H. boys a staggering 5-1 check on Monday, March 3, in the first of two games total points, of the semi-final series. The powerful St. Pat's pucksters had cap- tured a 4-0 lead by midway through the third period on goals by J. Vasil 123, B. Arsenault and L. Deschenes before the J oule Street boys notched their tally on a play set up by Art McLeod and Al Dixon, and tabbed by Ken Farmer. John Vasil completed his hat trick during the last minutes of the third frame, bringing the final count to 5-1 for the Greens. This defeat somewhat deadened the A.H. hopes for the Tremaine Trophy, as only a victory with a difference of five counters would assure the Joulers a position in the A. H. S. ARE ELIMINATED BY ST. PAT'S The Arvida High hockey team was elimi- nated from future Tremaine Cup competition through a 4-0 victory on the part of the St. Pat's pucksters. In the first frame, the St. Pat's boys 'gained a 1-0 lead. Much hard skating was done by both teams and the play swayed from one end of the rink to the other, but neither team scored again till the half marker of the final stanza. Then the St. Pat's knocked the count up to 4-0. This was a well played match, though slightly on the rough side as any semi-final game is apt to be. Referee Ken Brown dished finals. D. HUDSON out penalties to J. Vasil, Al Dixon and to B. Santoni. Hurley, McLeod and Dixon played superb hockey through the game, with B. Santoni showing much improvement. In fact, the whole A.H.S. team played exceptionally well and are to be lauded for their fine efforts and out- standing quality of sportsmanship. Now the Arvida High boys may hang up their skates and wait anxiously for another season and another chance at final victory. Let us hope that the fine quality of hockey and superb show of sportsmanship which dwelt in the A.H. boys throughout this season may last through many seasons. D. HUDSON

JEAN WOODWARK PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST On Thursday night, February 21, at the Home and School Association meeting, six students who had been chosen to represent the High School took part in a public speaking contest. Each speech, which was between five and ten minutes in length, was on one topic taken from a list made up by the Association. The judges, Mr. Dyck, Mrs, Hogg, and Mr. Harryet, found it extremely difficult to decide on a winner from the six excellent speeches, but they finally chose Norman Black and Brenda Bauman as first and second respecti- vely. Honourable mention was given Bobby Berdey for his splendid delivery. The list of speakers, who were introduced to the audience by the Master of Ceremonies, Ed Neff, are as follows: Norman Black: The Atomic Age Brenda Bauman: Getting The Most Out Of High School Bobby Berdey: Interesting Vocations Desmond Hudson: The Atomic Age Jean Woodwark: An Interesting Character - King George VI Ann Hudson: An Interesting Character King George VI PRESENTATION OF PRIZES FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING At the last assembly before Easter, on Tuesday morning, April 8, prizes were given to the winners of the Public Speaking Contest. Mr. Lewis, President of the Home and School Association, spoke for a few minutes before presenting a S10 cheque to Norman Black and a 356 cheque to Brenda Bauman. He said that the Association would like to have pre- sented each speaker with a small prize in re- cognition of the great effort put in and excel- lent results of the speeches, but this year it was impossible. He hoped that there would be the same endeavour next year, and that the Association would then be able to increase the number of prizes. The school choir, directed by Mrs. Hogg, then sang two selections, In An Old Dutch Garden and Chiapanecas , followed by God Save The Queen
