This year’s senior basketball team, under the coaching of Mr. Petrencik, had a very successful season. The starting five of Brian Ryder, Paul Wilson, Ian Fraser, Doug MacDonald, and Craig Francis combined to form a solid defence, but an inconsistant offence kept us from reaching great heights. With constant practice and coaching the team seemed to improve game by game. We finished second behind M.B.C.I. in our league, which also included St. Paul’s, United College, and St. Boniface College. In the play-offs, we first played St. Boniface in a two game total point series. The team played well and won both games 36-33 and 57-39. We were outclassed by M.B.C.I. in the finals and lost 68-18. So ended a very successful and enjoyable season for the S.J.R. Senior Basketball Team. SJR vs St. Vital Y . SJR vs St. Paul’s . . SJR vs Old Boys . . SJR vs Old Boys . . SJR vs Old Boys . .

I would sincerely like to thank Mr. Wellard, Mr. Searle, and Angus Campbell for faithfully coaching our hockey team this year. Although we have not been tremendously successful, we have shown vast improvement over last year. Our greatest moment came when we defeated previously undefeated Sturgeon Creek. Although we lost the majority of our games, it was by small margins. The team, while enjoying themselves, gave the league runners a run for their money. This year, we participated in a different league from previous years. It made a nice change from the familiar faces of the years before. With a few new men in the line up next year, we should have a championship team.

Horn ' Kefo ' Vti ' KixhjukoK Horn With house hockey, baseball, volleyball, basketball, track and field, and ... oh yes; senior soccer not having been played as this is going to the Eagle, it is difficult to predict how well Richardson House will do, but with our strong house spirit and a little luck we are bound to do well. We have picked up some fine new boys and with the strength of our juniors, we will show the school once again the athletic and scholastic ability that Richardson House has shown in the past. The athletic year started this fall with football. Richardson’s 9-man Intermediate and 6-man Junior both placed a close second. The seniors had much the same luck: they were forced to take second place only after a hard fought battle with Hamber. However, our fortunes changed when the Intermediate Soccer team took first place, decisively defeating the other houses. We now have every reason to expect to win the Master’s Shield this year. Richardson House thanks Mr. Wellard, Mr. Glegg, and Mr. Girard, our never-say-die” coachs for their support. Angus Campbell, Michael Brook — House Captains Jimha Horn Having won the Master’s Shield last year to the unbounded dismay of Richardson and especially Young House, Hamber is well on it’s way to doing so again this year, with luck. The Senior House Football team demolished all attempts at opposition early in the year, to give us a fine start, although the Juniors and Inter¬ mediates were not quite so fortunate. Seeing they had no chance in soccer, Richardson and Young managed to get the games called off to save themselves embarrassment, but these may be won by us in the Spring if the weather permits. Despite the loss of many of our senior players from Hamber’s recent paragon of success, hockey, we have managed to take the lead in the first games of the series, and with luck, will be victorious there, too. This leaves Track and Field and Basketball, for Hamber to concentrate on. Hamber also has the backing of a fine scholastic record which has helped much in the past, especially last year, and which I hope will continue to do so this year. A little care in choosing young recruits in the fall, and Hamber should be on the top for years to come. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the boys of Hamber for their efforts, whether scholastic or athletic and also the Hamber House masters, especially Mr. Waudby for their unrelenting support. With an effort by everyone in the House rather than a few individuals, Hamber should find no trouble in dealing with any competition other Houses can muster in the future. — Bill Cottick House Captain Lfoiwi Mom This year, due to the weather, many house sports have not as yet been played. Young House did not win the Senior House Football because half our beef was missing from the line; mainly Peter Hammond. We corrected this by winning Intermediate easily, but to compensate this, we were defeated in Junior Football. We still have hockey, basketball, soccer, track and field, and baseball to play. Good luck Young. I would like to express my gratitude to our House Master, Mr. Ainley; my co-captain, Peter Hammond; and prefects, Jamie McDonald, Jim Macdonald, Bill Gray, Bob Williams, Jamie Little, and Doug Diddell. Best of luck to all Young House to win back our Master’s Shield. Muir Meredith — Co-House Captain
