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.

s p r I n g First Team Cricket ' 4. it.- i This has been quite a successful season with three victories, three draws and two losses. However, the drawn games were all ' moral ' victories since it was merely a matter of time before we won. The team this year has had the most potential of any team for several years; it has not had to depend on one or two outstanding players for there has been real depth. We have had at least seven bowlers, many have played good innings with the bat, and two wicket-keepers, Toby Bronson and Martin Moffatt, have shown good potential. The season started with a spate of runs against U.C.C. Ian Gordon with 46 and Gavin McCulloch with an undefeated 61 took our total to 156. However, U.C.C. also had some good batsmen and they reached 128. This victory gave us FRONT ROW: McNally, Piasecki, Morris, McCulloch, Krane, McConnell. MIDDLE ROW: Gordon, Williams, Tarbet, McMenemy, Easson. BACK ROW: Bronson, Archer, Moffat, Nightingale, Pepall, Mr. Nightingale. great confidence for our games with Ridley. Peter McConnell, Andrew Pepall, John Easson and Greg Williams all had good innings in their matches, and Ian Gordon and Andrew Pepall bowled well. We then looked forward eagerly to our return match with U.C.C. Playing on the first team wicket we decided to bat first, but after Nicholas Nightingale gave us a good start the rest of the batting never really did anything. Only Gavin McCulloch ' s 16 took us up to 65, and U.C.C. scored these with two wickets to spare. The second half of the season was also successful, the only defeats being at the hands of St. Andrews and a star-studded Father ' s Team. Against St. Andrews ' varied attack our batting collapsed completely even though Nicholas Nightingale showed that if you stick to your technique you cannot go wrong and Peter McConnell made run-scoring look easy until he carelessly hit line wicket. Our total of 25 did not allow our bowlers or fielders any room for error! It was a keen and enjoyable season in which all players tried hard and successfully to improve their skills. Everyone who played for the first team has a promising future in Senior School teams. Well played everyone! - 18
