During the year the team played many a hard-fought battle with the College and also had a home and home series with the Wetas- kiwin High School. Although their victory string wasn’t a record, they played great basketball. The hard practice and the coaching paid off in the Basketball Tournament, which was held in Red Deer. The Seniors came through with flying colors, losing only to Red Deer in the championship game. There were two first-year players on the Senior team this year and some excellent Juniors coming up for next year. With such prospec¬ tive members and a continuation of Mr. Basant’s first-class coaching, we should be able to make a strong bid for the Central Alberta Champion¬ ship next April. Due to the fact that the tournament and the Easter holidays were only a week apart, the basketball season ended early in April, with track and baseball taking over after the vacation. 53

The composite result of games played with the College and with Wetaskiwin High during this season was seven in our favour with only two defeats. The tournament in Red Deer on April 1st was, of course, the hi-lite of the year. The girls held their own against Wetaskiwin and Olds but were unable to qualify for the Central Alberta Championship when defeated by Innisfail. The Junior and Senior teams wish to extend their sincere app¬ reciation to Mr. Basant who gave freely of his time in teaching us the rudiments of the game and provided a fresh impetus for basketball in C. H. S. We should also like to thank Wallace Johnston and August Schneider for their tireless efforts as assistant coaches. 52
