NfXvvw-an e past yeai has been a very worth while one for Oakwood bas- ketball. The girls began practicing for the school teams before Christ- mas and have made use of every available moment in the gym from then till towards the end of March. Although neither t.eam carried off the cup, the Juniors won all the games in their group, thus enter- ing the semi-finals. Sevei'al splen did league and exhibition games were played. The teams were, for the most part, new this year, but improved steadily with practice and coaching, so that there should be quite a substantial nucleus for next yeai s teams. We owe a great deal to Miss Reade for the time she has spent with, and the interest she has taken in both teams. A Glimpse at the Teams. Senior l oi'wai'fls W Pliyl C a ni e ro n, Madeline Stimers: Centres--Dot Page Fifty-Eight Posnich, Betty Robinson: Guards-- Helen Kennedy, Eleanor Keys. Dot Posnich-an exceptionally swift forward and captain of the Senior team. You should see her cover territory with that long bounce of hers. Dot is a welcome addition to the Oakwood team from Jarvis C. I. Madeline Stimers-As well as being swift on the floor, Mad is a very quick thinker and a splen- did shot. She will certainly be missed next year. Phyl Cameron-An unfailing shot at basket. Phyl always knows what she is doing throughout any game. lletty Robinson-The nimble- footed jumping centre. Betty has the distinction ol' being on the Senior team, although she is just in second form. We expect great things from her.
