Swimming This Years teams started out well with two consecutive wins against St. Georges and Osier Public School. However our great rival Ridley defeated us twice in a row. These losses were partly due to the fact Ridley ' s team was based on grade nines. Our next meet resulted in a win against St. Georges at a Public Pool in Toronto. We were assisted by Chris King, Andrew Crawford- Brown, Andrew Ross and Chris Chapman, all Senior School swimmers. Strong swimming by Greg Williams and Marc Genereu.x all season long was still not enough to take revenge on the Ridley Team, but our Juniors did score a victory in their division due to excellent efforts by Stewart Ritchie and Ian Batty. Our final meet was against Ridley but this was the opposite of our last meet. The Seniors won by three points beaking a J.S. record in the Freestyle relay. The Juniors lost by six giving Ridley their fourth victory by three points. At the end of the season the record stood at three wins, four losses and no ties. Three boys received their colours: Marc Genereux who dominated all freestyle events, Greg Williams, our Captain, and Butterfly artist, and Ian Batty. All in all I think the year was a success and we all thank our coach, Mr. Bailey for doing a superb job and giving us some excellent advice for the years to come.

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 '

This year ' s team, consisting of five players and one substitute was not as successful as we had planned. Giants like Ridley collapsed our hopes in the first game of the season. Teams persisted in walking over our centre, John Durdan, our two forwards Richard Archer and David Sorokolit, and our guards John Home and Derek Mattimoe. We thought better luck next time but were defeated again and again. None of us gave up. We kept trying fast breaks and other ideas Mr. Winter our head coach, had dreamed up from basketball books. Teams like Hillfield, St. George ' s and U.C.C. beat us again and again. The team then developed a new way of winning. If the op- position didn ' t double our score, we had accomphshed something. With all our losses we did succeed in winning two games against Crescent and came extremely close, (two points) to beating Ridley. Our season wasn ' t that terrible at all. Richard Archer, our captain, received his colours for his fine effort on the court. Everyone, including the coach, learned a great deal about the game and we all had an interesting season.

The second team started off slowly but greatly im- proved as the season progressed and won the two last games for a record of three wins and nine losses. The first game was against Hillfield who had a more experienced team than Appleby and won easily. The first game that we won was at St. Greorge ' s. Their team was about the same level as us and it was a close game. The next game was against U.C.C. This was also a close game and Appleby won it by six points. The last game was against Cresent. Although the floor was wet due to a leak in the gym roof, the game went well and Appleby won their third game. Two team members played exceptionally well, Robert Archer and Ivan Gignac. Archer ' s good layups helped our scoring especially against St. George ' s. Gignac played well in most games and was second to Archer in the scoring category.
