Dk if Pk 54 Mr. Wenman and Gee were selected for the Southflsland Cricket XI vs. the Northflsland XI. Sk ak 35 Pk The famous cricket square is looking very well this year. Masters and boys under the Headmaster's supervision and with his assistance. have laboured hard to keep up its pristine beauty. What Mr. Wenf man does not know about the extraction of weeds is not worth know' ing. ' ak 1: ac sf The classfrooms have been moved to the school house in the inf terests of economy and efliciency and boys now fight with problems and syntax, where of yore they fought with pillows. During the early part of the September term considerable grass Hockey was played.

' -- - With seven of the 193364 team available including Adams I, the Captain, and Gee, the VicefCaptain, prospects for the 193465 sea' son were excellent. During the Christmas term the team fully held its own and some line games, particularly those with Shawnigan Lake School, were witnessed. The backs were fast, intelligent and formed a powerful attacking combination. The forwards, however, were weak and were, almost Without exception, inexperienced, and lacking in dash and football sense. Behind a beaten pack the backs were starved, and pressed to the limit in defence, were seldom able to display their attacking ability. The fact that eight of the regulars failed to return after the Christmas holidays was of course a tragedy as far as the team was concerned. The brunt of the work fell on Gee and Teagle, and nobly did they bear it, their play on the field and their general spirit and enthusiasm being worthy of the best traditions of the School. In addition to the games recorded in this issue a game was played at the School against Duncan Grammar School, the School side com' posed partly of seniors and partlv of juniors, winning an interesting game 14f6. St. Michael's School proved too strong for the School junior team defeating them 136. Colours for 193465 were awarded to A. W. Field, A. R. Speers and S VJ. Henderson, and the complete team for the 193465 season was as follows: S. M. Adams, R. A. J. Gee, S. W. Henderson, E. E. Teagle, C. N. Sworder, D. E. Berry, A. NV. Field, G. A. Galloway, K. Walkem, T. R. Chettleburgh, W. D. Gordon, A. R. Speers, W. R. Dowrey, G. C. Douglas, R. C. Adams. -9..
