Swish! oor Afeet St. John’s-Ravenscourt once again entered the Indoor Track Meet competition which took place on April 25, 1964, in the Winnipeg Arena. Track teams from as far as the lakehead were represented. Representing Ravenscourt were Bill Stovel in the High Jump, Ron Kantor, Barry Sullivan, Jock McDonald and Michael Hart¬ ley in the relays, and Kantor and McDonald in the 60-yard dashes. Although Ron came through with a terrific start, we just missed qualifying for the relay finals by a fraction of a second. It seemed to be Ron’s day; in the 60 yard heats, he ran a 6.2 seconds time, a new record, and only .1 second away from the Canadian record. 47

1964 was another good Track and Field season, particularly for Young House, which took the Master s Shield. As usual, the events for each group were run off one per day, the weather permitting. This was the first year that the Cross- Country was run as a House competition, and Young, with the most runners, natur¬ ally took it. Thirteen new records were made, with the Templeton Trophy for Senior Division Champion going to Ron Kantor, the Chisholm Trophy going to John Kiddell, the Staff Trophy to Michael Trew, and the Moulden Trophy to Jim Rich¬ ardson, each boy being the Track Field Champion in his division. Three of the new senior records were made at the Provincial Track Meet, the 100 yard dash by Michael Hartley, the Hop-Step-Jump by Ron Kantor, and the discus by Rick Lauder. y few 7 Qecorc s — 1964 Seniors: 100 yards 10.2 sec Mike Hartley 220 yards 23.1 sec.

Z lthletic inner In late June, towards the end of the 1964 school year, we held our customary Athletic Dinner. After the banquet, Mr. Jim Daly, the guest speaker, was introduced. In his speech, which was sometimes reminiscing, Mr. Daly disclosed the secret that the Pan-American Games might be held in Winnipeg in 1967, no doubt inspiring the ambitions of some of the up-and-coming athletes who were present. As is his custom, Mr. Gordon kept us all in suspense until the presentation of the Master’s Shield. Once again, the Shield was won by Young House. There is no danger, though, of this becom¬ ing a habit. wards Moulden Memorial Trophy (Best Rugby Player) .Rick Lauder Cory Cup (Long Jump Champion) .Ron Kantor Desmond Cox Trophy (Open Mile).George Low Taylor Cup (High Jump Champion) .Bill Stovel Templeton Trophy (Senior Track and Field Champion).Ron Kantor Chisholm Trophy (Int.
