A junior soccer team is a relatively new idea and as yet does not get much support. Much better things are hoped for next year. The team was comprised mostly of grade eights and a few grade nines. A lack of games was the big difficulty along with the short season. Our thanks go to Mr. Wellard and Mr. Gieth. BACK ROW: Fraser, Hutchings, Thraser, Mr. Wellard, Payne, Tamblyn, Dallas.

Senm Horn %ootlxd As in previous years, as senior house football series was held after the league games had been completed. Their was bitter rivalry between the three houses, but Hamber was superior and secured the cup. In the first game Hamber trounced Richardson by 13-6 with Magnus playing an excellent offensive game even though he was drafted from the soccer team. The next game was between Young and Hamber, but as Young did not have Pete Hammond, they were easily beat 7-0. Richardson and Young then played for second place with Richardson emerging victorious with a score of 13-7. BACK ROW: Mark Jackman, Bill Cottick, Keith Yonge, John Nanson, Jim Fulton, Bob Colquhoun. FRONT ROW: Craig Francis, Kerry Magnus, Bill Gardner, Peter Schludermann, Bruce Young, Hugh Swan. Horn Jootiall There were three games in intermediate house games. Young won with two wins and no losses. Richardson was second with one win and one loss. Hamber with a change of pace pulled through gaining third place with no wins and two losses. All the games were hard fought and the final scores in all three games were within a touchdown of each other. Spirit was high for all games and everyone except Hamber had a good time. Horn Jootidll Junior house football kept up its tradition of pro¬ viding a great amount of entertainment for its spectators. These little fellows have as much courage as seniors, but seem to be more cheerful and funloving with the game. Hamber won the series by quite a considerable margin of touchdowns. In the first game Hamber beat Richardson 28-14 with Robbie McDonald, Smiley” Castling, and Brian Spooner leading the victorious squad. Hamber then beat Young 28-7 and in the final game between Young and Richardson; Richardson won 13-0. BACK ROW: Eddie Myers, John Anderson, Edward Orton, D’Arcy Brown.

The cross-country team dashed off to an enthusiastic start this year, but the pace was just a little out of reach. However, the team ran well against some really stiff opposition. The meets were held at St. Vital Park, Niakwa Park, and St. John’s-Ravenscourt. In 1964, S.J.R. managed to set the toughest course in Winnipeg, but Glenlawn Collegiate took the honors this year with a gruelling trek across ploughed fields at Niakwa Park. The S.J.R. team took their revenge calmly, running its best race of the year. The climax of the season was the provincial meet at Neepawa on November 30. The relief of the team at finding that the course would not include below-freez¬ ing weather, ice-cold streams, thick brush, and barbed wire fence, as the previous year, turned to anguish when an abundance of steep hills was found to be the substitute. Despite the difficulties, everyone ran a good race. Bob Dunstan, the star of the team, finished fourteenth out of over one hundred participants. $ wm - CoiuttM Junior Cross-Country was a new inovation this year. A Junior Cross-Country team was formed to run against some outside teams. The first run was in the St. Vital Park where we had some runners place high in the lists. In later races, runners once again did well. The big reason for not placing as well as we might have was because of the short period to train in and a lack of races. Once again our thanks go to Mr. Wellard. BACK ROW: Mr. Wellard, Hutchings, Tamblyn, Wright, Payne. FRONT ROW: Thraser, Campbell.
