SENIOR BASKETBALL Etobicoke's powerhouse Rams returned the Senior basketball trophy to its familiar spot in the showcase, the culmination of a perfect I3-game season, unmarred by a defeat or tie . The Rams slammed home a total of 898 points, while only 533 points were dropped in against them . The team was big, fast, and experienced. Mike Syron lwho wears his hair at an altitude of six feet eight inchesl, und Don Guest were the league's most feared under-the-basket men. Dave Williams could dump the ball through the ring from just about anywhere on the floor, and captain Billy Rankin made the toughest plays pay off when it counted the most. Warren Reynolds, always played it so cool, that he got the title of the Etobicoke lceman hung on him. Behind this starting BOYS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The year of '53-54 was a great success for the B.A.A. due largely, to the performance of our many teams. Besides the inter-school teams, which had magnificent won-lost records this year, there were intra-mural teams , These intra-mural teams competed in P.E. periods, and many boys learned a great deal from the instruction provided in these games. This year's executive composed of Bill Rankin, presi- dent, Don Guest, vice-president, Don Comish, secretary, and John Turner, treasurer. This central executive was ably assisted by thirty-five class representatives for school functions. Also, the staff advisor, Mr. Thom, besides his position as Head of the Physical Education Department, helped tremendously in the way of advice and work. Proceeds from dances, basketball and football games, plus track and field meets, raised the B.A.A.'s fund to such an extent, that they are the highest they have been team stood the eager reservists, Ron Fieghen and Bill Bissell always showed strongly, and Dunc Edmonds was as reliable as they come. Grant Newlove, Don Cass, Bruce Johnson, Ed Wasag, and Ozzie Argalis rounded off the champions' roster, and could put on a very cred- itable performance when called upon .' Coach Jack Mc Kerrow can well be proud of his boys. He brought them through the tough schedule with the steady hand characteristic of all championship coaches . From his spot at the end of the bench, he lived every second of every ball game with the players working for him on the floor. The net results of his efforts are best summed up by the sport page headlines, RAMS WIN AGAIN . D. Comish,J. Tumer,D. Guest,Mr. Thom,Bill Rankin. in quite sometime. But they will not be unused as equipment must be purchased, and minor expenses attend- ed to. I would like to thank all the staff members for contri- butions in assistance that made each B.A.A, event a success . 33

JUNIOR BASKETBALL This year's team was composed of players in their final year of iunior basketball, Three of the players had graduated from midget, others were in their first year of inter-school competition, while a few of the boys had come to us from other schools. However, serious practising paid off when the team went through an exhibition and league schedule against Leaside, Runnymede, Bathurst Heights, Forest Hill, and Humber- side . The quarter-finals against Mimico, and the semi- TRACK AND FIELD ' Etobicoke had a good season in track last year. The twenty-sixth annual track and field meet was a close race for first place. Team Two took the meet with 90 points, followed by team Four, team Three, and team One . The individual champions were John Turner, J champion, Bill Culley, Intermediate champion Ted Kennedy, Senior champion . Records were broken in the lntermediate 440-yard race, the iunior polevault, and the iunior 440-yard unior , and relay . The fifth annual regional track and field meet a morale-booster for Etobicoke, our boys won the with T43 points, as compared to second place Toronto with 48 points. was meet New 34 finals against George Harvey brought only victory to Etobicoke . The final game against Vaughan Road saw the Juniors come from behind a big lead to lose by one point. It was a heart-breaker to lose, but all the players gave their best effort in a game that could easily have gone either way. In conclusion, on behalf of the team, l would like to thank Mr. Thom for his excellent and patient coaching, and wish the best of luck to next yeor's Junior Team.
