CROSS-COUNTRY ' Sweat pants off please ' , said the announcer as the girls assembled on the starting line. Last minute good lucks were yelled from nearby spectators. The girls waited for the gun; the dreaded gun signalized the start of an exhausting two mile cross-country race. This was one of the many typical cross-country starts which the team of twenty Branksome girls experienced this fall. The hard work and determination of everyone brought great success for the 1980 cross-country team. The biggest race of the season, the qualification for the Ontario championship, was an indication of everyone ' s hard training. Eight girls qualified for the championship, our most ever. This success is largely attributed to our excellent coach, Mrs. Kizoff, to whom we extend our grateful thanks. At the Ontario Championships in London, in the midget division, Sarah Wiley placed second, and Laura McElwain placed 61st. The junior team placed 7th out of 29 teams. Alison Wiley placed 1st and Anne Bunting placed 37th. In the senior division, Kate Wiley placed first. Oulslanding Cross-Country Meets: 1.

SWIMMING The Swimsuit: a garment designed for swimming. Seashore bathing became popular in the mid nineteenth century when railroads were built, allowing people to get to the beach for their vacations. The first swimsuits concealed most of the body; women wore bloomers, black stockings and a dress with short sleeves and a skirt; men wore a dark coloured one piece, sleeveless garment reaching to the ankles or knees. By the early twentieth century, however, men had begun to wear shorts without a top. A clinging one piece swimsuit for women was introduced by the French after World War 1, and other accessories were aban- doned. Around 1935, women began to wear a two piece suit consisting of top and shorts. In 1947 the bikini, consisting of a very brief top and brief pants came into fashion. In the 1970 ' s, swimsuits varied in style from one or two piece garments to suits with skirts, but all were made of fabrics that do not sag or balloon in the water thus facilitating swimming. Team Members: Laurie Hrushowy, Martha Younger, Sally Robertson, Debbie Lachowicz, Martha Dingle, Wendy Wilson, Kate Dafoe, Ruth Bryden, Carolyn Dyke, Ellen Green, Maria Sherman, Mario Soriano, Susan O ' Connor, Wendy Brown, Janice Wright, Susie Garay, Mary Morden, Debbie Farquaharson, Laura Loewen, Karen Taylor, Tricia Hall, Lis Burrow, Marcie Hartill, Andrea Whiteacre.

The competitors were sailing 420 ' s and Albacores. The team received excellent instruction from two coaches. Tom Clarke, whose expertise in the science of racing tactics is well-known, and Heather Sampson Clark, whose involvement with the Toronto Brigs also makes her an excellent authority in the sailing field. Fiona Sampson and Chris Grant placed 5th out of 7 competitors, and Harriet Eastwood and Martha Dingle placed 2nd in their division. Overall Branksome placed first. 63
