w I n t e r !f. First Team Hockey FRONT ROW: McNally, Mann, Follows, Crawford, Krane, Millar, Dobell, Bruce. BACK ROW: Schooling, Moffatt, Piasecki, Barr, Leach, Mr. Singer, Guthrie, Nightingale. This was an exciting year for the First Team. They met many tough challenges and managed to over- come the majority of them. They were often matched against older and stronger opponents. They never gave up, and managed to play with pride and class. Our Captain, Martian Moffatt, often held us in during difficult games. We also had strong support on defence led by Steve Bruce and Steve Guthrie. Stuart (Smiley) Smith trained our goaltender, while Dave Walsh controlled our defensive squad, and Dave Singer coached the offense and the team in general. The offense was the part that carried the team. It was lead by .Mark Barr, Steve Krane and Jamie Piasecki. This was our first line which supplied us with many goals and much encouragement. Mark Barr was the leading point getter, and had the second most goals. Steve Bruce scored the most goals and second most points. Mark Follows and Peter Mann had a good season and are only in sixth grade (hope for the future). Lawrence McNally and Richard Schooling added extra support on defense. Dave Leach, Andrew Dobell and Andrew Crawford managed to lead the third line. Nicholas Nightingale and Scott Millar helped our of- fensive attack. We were at our best when we played a series against Ashbury College from Ottawa and Lower Canada College in Montreal. All in all the whole team im- proved greatly during the season and our team appreciated the constant effort of our coaches. Mark Barr

James Mairs won the Intermediate race convincingly from Robert Archer, and the Junior race was won by Scott Washington with Henry Mann and Cam MacLe nnan close behind. The last meet of the season, the Inter-tribal Team championship, was anti-climatic; it was held after half-term, hockey had started and the bloom was off the rose . However, in spite of the November date it was a glorious afternoon, perfect for running. Although the times were slower, the competition was no less keen. Toby Bronson again won his race by a large margin, and Richard Archer and Nicholas Nightingale had another lung-bursting race for second place. The Cayugas proved to be in the champions with the race winning - help of James Mairs and Scott Washington. The inaugural event this year was the father and son relay held on the last Saturday in October, another glorious Indian-summer day. Twenty family teams took part and, as many had predicted, the Bronson part- nership finished first. It was a happy occasion and with such game fathers and mothers, three of whom ran, it was hardly surprising that the boys do so well. Thus the season which had been so successful drew to a close and the boys turned their minds to other sports for the winter. I was left with an indelible memory of swarms of unbelievably eager grade fours and fives buzzing round the course every Thursday and all asking at once through their panting and spluttering what their times were. The future of the school teams is in good hands with them, and this was no more clearly typified than by George Nicholson ' s amazing feat (feet?) of achieving his centipede. Well run, everyone!

Second Hockey H! v y K JM ■ ■ MI b y i — . w s FRONT ROW: Merry, Mull, Henderson, Sandford, Petersen, Mann, Jaworski, Bascombe. BACK: McCarter, Humeniuk, Schooling, Mairs, Mayo. The team this year got off to an extremely slow start, being defeated by several scores too embarrassing to mention. But, due to the per- severance of our coach, Mr. Boyd, we were transformed from a disorganized mob into an energetic and almost fit team, certainly never lacking in enthusiasm. After a few wins late in the season, we entered an Ashbury competition in high spirits. Winning it relatively easily, we gained confidence, and went on to win all but two games for the rest of the season. Every single member of the team improved considerably, some more than others, but all the same, we improved as a team. Enthusiasm was never lacking and every game, even those that were lost, were enjoyed by every participant. Perhaps it is unfair to some to mention names, but in order to justify those who contributed their utmost I think it is necessary. Individual standouts were as follows: Richard Schooling, our Captain, for his hard checking and good spirits which were the in- spiration of the team, Chris Humeniuk, a center forward whose perpetual scoring won us many close games, Mike Merry, Darryl Mayo, all who showed great improvement. Time McCarter and Kurt Mull also showed great team spirit. But Mr. Boyd deserves the most recognition. His hard work molded us into a team, and for his patience and spirit we all sincerely thank him. m n ji '
