Strengthened by several new boys and several Bantam A players, the Midget team enjoyed a fair hockey sea¬ son. The first game was played against the Junior at School at their St. Boniface rink. The game was not too promising as we lost by a score of 6-0. A second game proved much better as we beat College St. Boniface 6-2. These first two games were played before the Christmas Holidays. Beginning after the Christmas holidays the team did not do quite as well as was expected. The first game at St. Paul’s Collegiate ended in a 3-3 tie although we dominated most of the game. Our next game against Assinaboia was played under extremely cold weather conditions. The Indian boys proved to be adapted to it and easily beat us 4-1. This game completed the first round of games in the league. The second round was against Junior at and this time at Ravenscourt we put up a much more determined effort. We went ahead 2-0 in the first period, but in the end, lost 6-4. Next game was again played at Ravens¬ court against CSB whom we beat 5-1. Our last league game against St. Paul’s was certainly our worst as we lost 3-0. It was one ofthose games where nothing just seems to go right. This ended the league season and we ended up in third place with 5 points. In the play-offs we faced off against Assinaboia at the Indian school and lost 9-1. The second game proved much better than the first as we won 5-4 on a spectacular goal by Peter Bowes from the faceoff. The puck went straight up in the air and dropped in the Assinaboia net, much to the surprise of the Indian goalie. The third game ended 5-0 for Assinaboia and our hopes in the play-offs. Thus it was not too bad a hockey season for this year. The team would like to express their appreciation to Mr. Bredin for his coaching and advice.

9tdmwlu)te ' hukdall The intermediates were a new” team in the sense that they had never played together before. As a result, some of their games were well played, while others were rather scrambly. They competed with some of the best senior teams Winnipeg junior-high schools, one against St. James’ Collegiate’s varsity squad which featured a near-7’ giant, and a game with the S.J.R. masters, the final score of which seems to be in some disagreement. For the first time, we sent our inter¬ mediate team against high school freshman competition, winning two out of four such games. The season was climaxed with an almost brilliant victory over Mennonite Collegiate freshmen. Season’s record: 8 wins-4 losses. BACK ROW: Fulton, Sprague, Jewell, Mr. Petrencik, Brace- well, Dunstan. FRONT ROW: Black, Newbound, Ross, Ramsey, Dallas. fmi n ' %ukd dL In their second year together, this year’s juniors were probably among the best in their age group in Winnipeg. They were undefeated in games against teams of similar age, their only losses coming against senior teams of junior high schools. In the Y.M.C.A. league, in which they were entered, they finished in first place without a loss. Throughout the season, most of the boys showed a keen enthusiasm. In some games, they displayed remarkable skill and control. If the boys remain together, they should remain equally impressive next year and develop a serious challenge to the dominance of Mennonite Collegiate in the in¬ dependent schools’ league. Record: 11 wins — 4 losses. BACK ROW: Wright, Bracken, Mr. Petrencik, Spooner, Richardson. FRONT ROW: Morris, Wyatt, Hefflefinger, Chan. (JtlklfU This year the volleyball team was in a league with St. Paul’s College, United College and M.B.C.I. All but the latter were thoroughly beaten by our team which consisted of Honeyman, Cousins, Brook, Fraser, Younge, Lemon, Jim and Doug MacDonald, and Bruce Young. Had there been finals, I think we could have given M.B.C.I. a good fight for their money, but since they went undefeated in the regular schedule, they were automatically given the division title. Our sincere thanks to Mr. Petrencik and Mr. MacKenzie, who put a great deal of time into the team. Good luck next year!

This year, the Senior team had a rather bad season. Although the team practised even during the Christmas Holidays, we finished the season with a record of two wins, seven losses, and two ties. The season afforded the team a chance to play in a hockey tournament in Minneapolis. In the tournament, the team had two losses and one tie. However, this weekend was most enjoyable. In the semi-finals, the team, led by John Kiddell, tied CSB. In the second game of the two game total point series, CSB won. The team was led by Dave Megaphone” MacBeath and John Kiddell. The de¬ fense was strong with rib-shattering body checks by Peter Hammond and Kent Cousins. The team was aided by constantly brilliant, pro-style goal tending by Don Honeyman. Our spirits were greatly boasted by Dr. MacBeath’s cries of, Come on Big Green!” The vastly superior senior team crushed the tottering Old Boys, led by Bob Ramsey and Jock McDonald, in their first encounter. However, in the rematch, the reinforced Old Boys salvaged an overtime win. All in all, it was a most enjoyable season and we would like to thank Mr. Bredin for his hard, sometimes frustrating work in practice and Mr. Girard for his man¬ agerial support.
