In former years with all the various other activities it was found difficult to arrange games. and the short season made our ef- forts hardly worth while. It seems rather too bad that we cannot substitute a few hockey games. Hczslfwtball The probable result of our com- ing basketball campaigns is still an unknown quantity. Players have been devoting much of their time to practice, but as yet the teams which will represent the dark blue, light blue and gold have not been chosen. May we take this opportunity of wishing the girls every success in their games this winter. Szrzpzniing Although this branch of our sporting activities has not flour- ished as strongly perhaps as oth- ers, great hopes are held out for its success this year. We have some mighty fine swimmers in the school, and since the majority of it .'6 alll. . In l X -, N,Xvvvx.1 these are in the lower forms, pros- pects are bright for several years to come. Mr. Hunt, the candy and ice cream man, has donated a cup for annual competition in the high school relay swim, and this year the Oakwood team promises to make a good bid for the event and bring that cup up where it belongs. Thr MC!.QI1Ill l'fIfIf' On the afternoon of November the third, many members of the Girls' Athletic Association assem- bled in the artistically decorated auditorium for the annual Hallo- we'en Masquerade. The party was formally opened by the grand march, during which the judges, Mrs. Kirby, Miss Hanna and Miss Quail selected the prize-winning costumes. Doris Wood, represent- ing Satan, was awarded first place, and Dorothy Gawsey, in an attractive Russian costume, car- ried off second place honors. Dur- ing the remainder of the afternoon the dance numbers were interrup- ted while Dot Hewitt and Mary Meen put on a very clever skit, en- titled Engaging Bermaline, and Rose Levi entertained us with a solo dance. Eleanor Thompson had the lucky birthday and won the prize for that dance. The after- noon closed after refreshments had been served in the household science room. Page Tl11'1'fy-Srfiwl

The Seniors upheld our traditions, by passing out in the heat of a battle with old Leap Year Jinks. But, whoopee! what a younger set. Out of a squad well up in the fifties, Mr. Horning pick- ed an aggregation of stars euual to any this illustrious college has produced. November 1-lth., which, incidental- ly, was a Wednesday. The Seniors landed a sock on old L. Y. Jinks' jaw by Winning the first game of the season. Fa1'ah S.: Co., took the Harbordites into camp to the tune of 15 to Med- lock, who learned how to plunge helping his mother shop at Lob- law's on Saturday nights, and Stainton, who always keeps in trim by making spi1'ited dashes for the door when the bell rings for lunch, scintillated. The daily news- papers remarked that Oakwood does not look as powerful as the team that won the senior cham- pionship last sesaon, lacking its great backfield, although the line is as strong as ever. But, between you and me and the gate-post, a certain gentleman named James Greig would have made a differ- ence on that line. The Juniors stepped into the Hai-bord representatives and des- pite the fine tackling of M. Cohen of the visitors, 'tArtful Arthur Messinger directed an assault which resulted in a 16 to 5 win for our lads. Three new planets swam into our ken in the form of Much- Pagc Thirty-Nine
