Ross McKnight, a top-rate goalie saved the day on many a memor¬ able occasion. The sight of defenceman Spooner madly swooping in with his parts at half-mast to defend his goal, or the sight of McDonald vicious¬ ly boarding the biggest of the opponents, will never be forgotten. Frith’s nimble dribbling of the puck with his feet must have surely confused the enemy. The season has been a most enjoyable one, and we thank Mr. Gill for coaching us, SJ, oo S occer Back: David, Gardiner, McMurray, Mr. Gill, Spooner, Hutch¬ ings, Bowes.

The team improved gradually, and reached a peak in the final match against Varennes, scoring two goals, and helping Spooner to a shut¬ out. Campbell, Donahue, Bredin, and Frith proved to be the backbone of the team, along with steady stand-up play from Spooner. The Second Eleven (Form VI) played one match against Oakenwald, and this proved to be an exciting 1-1 game.

)enior J i c ouse Richardson seemed to be the powerhouse in hockey this year, although as in soccer, all teams seemed to be quite well-balanced. Richardson finished on top in league play, but in the semi¬ finals came up against a spirited Young House crowd led by Jacques, Bracken and Henderson, and lost 3-1. At the same time, a much-improved New House captured a 2-1 victory over second- place Hamber. As a result, the final pitched the third and four.h place teams against each other, and New House, supported by McDo nald, Gard¬ ner, and McKnight rolled over a somewhat con¬ fused Young by a 4-0 score.

Vk xjCjroMn d CL Hoclz It’s been a long time! Finally after two drought- filled years, a near-championship for this plucky, hard skating team. Finishing one game out of second place in the South Division, S.J.R. may feel proud in the fact that the League Champions, Westridge, were beaten by our team. One of the best-balanced teams ever, the group, moving into Playground B next year and for the years to come should prove a winner. There were no individual stars on the team, with every member playing hard for his line, defence, or goal, and this was shown most strongly in the final Westridge match. Back: Boult, Richardson, Lawrence, Mr. Stewart, Riley, Wood, Morris, Edwards. Front: Gallagher, Saunders, Johnson, Beaton, McMorris. Ends: Tucker and Kiddell.

The first thirty-five miles of the trip were uneventful, but after about forty minutes we thought we had left Mr. Stewart behind. Mr. Gill pulled over to the side and Mr. Kiddell followed. We agreed to turn around and search for Mr. Stewart’s car and all occupants, dead or alive. Ten miles farther back, we found the lost car at a service station getting its spare tire put on after a near-serious blow¬ out. We arrived in Wawanesa at about four-thirty in the afternoon and had a hot cup of cocoa in a restaurant on the main street. When we arrived at Souris, we had to search around for fifteen minutes to find a suitable spot for pitching camp, which consisted of our tents and supplies. It took about an hour to set up the tents, and then we prepared supper. For supper we had steak and potatoes cooked over an open fire in tinfoil, a rather crude but effective process. After supper there was a sing-song conducted by Mr. Stewart whose guitar had sur¬ vived the blowout. Everyone joined in and made it a success. I believe that was the coldest night I have ever slept. The tents were all overpopulated except for Mr. Gill s which contained the Masters!! On Sunday after all was packed and all missing spoons were located, everybody collected rocks until lunch. Almost immediately after lunch, we set out by car for Wawanesa on a fossil-collecting trip for thirty minutes. After that we said goodbye to Souris and returned home without any casualties. 85
