SPORTS CAPTAIN 'S REPDRT In reflection of this past year I've seen days when our school spirit seeped through the seams of our blazers 03, O, J. We were proud and yet, on most days, our spirit lay dormant waiting for its awakening. It's been a long tough year trying to replenish the school spirit that ebbs away to nothing. Volleyball and basketball season brought a few hearty yells, house tournament sparked up an occasional YA ! but died at the 1:30 bell. Spirit Week - you kids were great! We had a lot of fun. . .but were you really proud of B. H, ? In such a small school, where everyone knows one another, the spirit and enthusiasm could really be tops but it is up to you kids. Instead of complaining about the absent spirit, you personally should be out there rooting for the green and gold and putting pride and attention into school activities. Participation makes for activeness, sportsmanship makes for friendly competition, original ideas bring interest. This is the seed of spirit. It didn't grow very tall this year. . .next year-let it flourish. I wish that next year I could be here to watch the spirit grow, but I have faith in you. I know that someday that B. H. 's school spirit will be overwhelming. Writing this final report makes me sad. My three years at B. H. have been fantastic, the kids were great and residence life had its days of excitement it was a great honor to be elected sports captain its been a tough job organizing tournaments and keeping records neat and orderly fif you have seen the state of my room you'd realize my dilemmalj but I managed. I thank all of you for any help you have given me this year and a special thanks to Mrs. Kobold and all the house heads-it has been a fantastic year. My best wishes to next year's sports captain and all of you.

SENIOR BASKETBALL I968-69 This was a great year for Petey's team! Besides skipping practice or purposely missing laps, our practices qMonday, Wednesday and Fridayj managed to have a comical air about them. The team managed to show up Q10 - 15 minutes late that isj wearing various outfits - right blackie ? - and lan - she introduced twine shoe- laces. Sam's granny cap and lean . . . the bell of us all in her dainty Dash sneakers, - managed to add to the brightness of the court. But we mustn't forget Joanne in the blue ! However no one managed to match Petey's outfit - dressed to the T in his baggy green sweat pants - paisley lined jacket and the added flourish of an old boys' tie! lnspite of the foolishness, the team managed a series of hard-earned victories and placed in the semi- finals in our zone, but unfortunately were defeated by l point. Orchids fdandelions?j to Glow for being the highest scorer this year. But another round of applause goes to Ieanabelle the winner of our highest foul competition with Sam running a very close second. Their prize is washing Pete's car - and a little elbow grease in the wax- ing please! The team hopes Petey gets lots of use out of his mug cuz twerp was tickled pink by I, B. M, cards and Ian sure appreciated her shoe laces. To next year's team - good luck and let's be like the navy: SlNK'EM! VOLLEYBALL CSR. 8 JR., With the help of our coach, Peter Lemon, the Balmoral Hall Senior Volleyball team gained more knowledge of Volleyball skills and played more en- thusiastically throughout this year's season. Even though victories were not numerous, spirit reigned and every game was long and arduous. With the help of Brenda Craig, a Junior team was formed and although there was a lack of at- tentiveness at regular practices they managed many good rallies in their games against St. Mary's and M. B. C. I. To next year's Junior and Senior teams remem- ber - no skipping practice, sock it to 'em and let's have a victory for the green and gold! Lgmo rx BASKETBALL um QU' Coach Another addition to the sports area this year was the start of a Iunior Basketball Team. With Brenda Craig and Diana Kilgour coaching, the basic skills were learnt by the enthusiastic grade seven, eight and nines. Unfortunately they only played one game this year - next year with more conscientious practicing let's have the junior team scoring a few baskets for B, H,
