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

Many enthu¬ siastic members turned out to practices, how¬ ever, and a strong team was soon on hand to meet all compet¬ itors. At the pre¬ sent time the girls are plann¬ ing games with ' the surrounding towns and we hope they will be successful. A house league may be formed if outside com¬ petition is limit¬ ed, Miss Guild, our staff advisor did an excellent job supervising.

It wss not until the lat¬ ter part of April that the H. S. baseball teams were able to hold practices this year. With Mr. Bak¬ ken as staff advisor, the following officers were chosen: Captain, Lyle McDonald; Asst. Captain, Harry Boraas; Sec., Dan¬ ny Bogda. First a house league was drawn up to allow all enthusiastic players “to show their stuff.” Games with the Camrose Luther¬ an College took place about twice a week, with the High School players proving to everyone to be all-round sports. The games alternated be¬ tween the two schools. An all-star team was chosen to represent our High School and they journeyed t o nearby towns to play against teams of their own cali¬ bre. 55
