GIRLS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION TOP ROW: S. Pemberton, L. Beare, Miss Lyons, S. Goodbrand, M. Filman, G. Wilson. BOTTOM ROW: J. Beare, L. Shonk, Pres.; R. Wilson. This year ' s Girls ' Athletic Association, under the excellent counseling of Miss Lyons as staff advisor, once again sponsored many popular events in the school. Large turn-outs appeared for the annual Sadie Hawkins dance, the girls ' intramural gymnastics meet and Ald-o-limpics. An Awards Assembly during the winter not only served to reward the var- ious girls for their fine athletic efforts, but also brought the purposes and functions of the G.A.A. into a clearer light. School spirit was also raised by the host of colourful beanies, pins, ribbons and smart white Aldershot blazers made available to the student body. The association can be proud of the fine ef- fort it put forth in making Aldershot High School one of the busiest in the area. BOYS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION TOP ROW: R. MacRae, R. Pouting, W. Crosbie, R. Dale, G. Gianinni. MIDDLE ROW: Mr. Neale, M. Lloyd, P. Buxton, D. Locke, B. Tyler, J. Soule, C. Peterson. BOTTOM ROW: L. Powell, D. Field, Hon. Pres.; D. Gilchrist, Pres.; F. Allen, D. Caldwell. This year the B. A.A. was active in the planning of intramural competition in soccer, football, wrestling and basketball. In co-operation with the G.A.A. the B.A.A. organized the fourth annual Ald-o-limpics. A Volleyball game between the staff and a combined team of students was the highlight of the evening, and a sock hop followed. The Gold Team were the victors. The Aldershot Cup finals at the Bur- lington Arena saw the staff win the Aldershot Losers Cup. The awards committee divised a new awards system to be used next year for the first time. The B.A.A. would like to thank Mr. Neale for his assistance and guidance.

SCIENCE CLUB TOP ROW: Mr. B. Page, Staff Advisor; J. Barker, K. McLeod, S. Beal, G. Dingledine, Mr. E. Harry. BOTTOM ROW: S. Roberts, K. Unsworth, R. Laking. The Science Club started off this year ' s activities with a dance: The Second Annual Cosmic Carousel. This provided money to finance this year ' s Science Fair projects which were displayed April 1, 2 and 3 at the McMaster Drill Hall. Eleven projects were dis- played and on Saturday night, as usual, the exhibitors appropriated enough money to have Chinese dinner at the Tien Kue Inn. Our second meeting brought a doctor from the Hamilton General Hospital to speak on Cancer research. Future meetings were planned for the benefit of project members - a practice which will not be followed next year: our meetings are to be open. At the Science Fair our group placed second in the overall awards, second to Nel- son: another practice which we hope will not be followed next year. Ken McLeod and Kathy Unsworth both won second place awards in their respective categories; Ron Laking, Gary Dingledine and Stuart Beal all won first awards; Stu and Gary won the first and second overall awards respectively, and went to St. Louis, Missouri, where Stu went on to win two special awards one from the U.S. Army and one from the Atomic Energy Commission, as well as a fourth of 83 pro- jects in his category. Aldershot can be proud of such a fine showing from this year ' s Science Club.
