n Squash The Squash Team has this year been very strong, stronger than it has been for many years and stronger than it will be for a while. The reason for this is that there have been more experienced players and all boys have succeeded in greatly improving their skills. Much of this is due to the invaluable weekly coaching by Mr. Swift. Although we have played our usual en- joyable matches with Ridley, most of our competition has been in the local tour- naments. Andrew Pepall, Toby Bronson, Gavin McCuUoch, Paul McMenemy, Ian Gordon and Christian de Josselin de Jong have all gained experience in tournaments at the Granite Club and the Toronto Cricket Club, as well as in the Ontario and Canadian under 14 championships. Once again we hosted an invitational tournament and once again our A Team managed to win. The final tournament of the season was our own championship won decisively by Andrew Pepall over Toby Bronson. It was an in- teresting match of completely contrasting styles, Andrew having the shots and Toby the stamina. I am sure that we shall be hearing of the feats of many of these players in Senior Squash in the years to come. Wi FRONT ROW: McMenemy, Bronson, Pepall, McCuUoch. BACK ROW: Mr. Nightingale, Buysschaert, Morris, De Josselin De Jong, Gordon, WiUson, Kirkpatrick.

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.
