Curling Altona Collegiate’s 1962-63 curling season was definitely a success. The year’s activity included both intra-mural and inter-collegiate draws in which all interested curlers had an opportunity to participate. Intra-mural curling took place after school on Mondays and Wednesdays. The ten rinks taking part, in order of standing after sixteen draws were skipped by Pete Wiebe, Warren Neufeld, Rendal Giesbrecht, Henry Bergen, Mr. Schmidt, (tied with Henry Bergen), Bruce Peters, Richard Dyck, Sharon Porter, Leona Hildebrand, and Bemie Friesen. On February 16, eighteen rinks battled for top poution in the novelty bonspiel. Melvin Reimer’s rink topped the first event, while Ken Loeppky and his rink won the second event. Three inter-collegiate bonspiels were held during the course of the winter. The first two, held at Winkler and Plum Coulee respectively, saw the Altona representatives bow out early. The final bon spiel, however, which was held in Altona, made history. The rink consisting of Leona Hildebrand, Albert Hildebrand, Walter Toews and skip Pete Wiebe, went through the ’spiel without a defeat to win the Thiessen Trophy, emblematic of Southern Manitoba Inter-Collegiate curling supremacy.

rfCtoucL rfceftet GIRLS’ STATISTICS IDIVI DUAL SCORING Girls’ Basketball The collegiate’s girls’ basketball team suffered a severe setback this year as a result of losing veteran players such as Esther Toews, Muriel Funk, and Susie Teichroeb. Therefore, an almost completely new team had to be organized. The team consisted of four grade nine students and two students from each of grades ten, eleven, and twelve. Mr. John Friesen was coach. At the commencement of the season it was already quite obvious that our girls lacked experience. Their chief difficulties lay in the shooting department. The Acettes won only two out of the ten league games played. In spite of their numerous losses, the girls always demonstrated good team spirit and good sportsmanship. The Acettes won their first game of the annual tourna¬ ment by downing the Emerson girls 14-5. However, the Winkler girls defeated Altona 21-5 in the second game, thus eliminating the Acettes from the tournament. The girls have the potential of becoming a first-rate team once again in the future. Although they were quite unsuccessful this year, we expect greater things from them next year.
