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.

Ciavarella, MIDGET BASKETBALL TEAM The Etobicoke Midget Basketball Team made a fine, spirited showing this season. With six holdovers from the previous season's squad, plus a group of young- er but talented players, the team developed into a smooth-playing outfit. This team outplayed all other teams in their group, and won eight straight ball games with the group title. In the quarter-finals, they swamped the hapless Port Credit team in a two-game series. Next came the semi-finals-a two-game series which they took from Earl Haig. Then they had to play a two-game finals with Leaside. E.C.l. had beaten Leaside club twice during the regular season, but a much-improved Leaside club pulled an upset-win over Vaughan, and won the right to play Etobicoke in the finals. GYM TEAM This year our gym team was unable to obtain compe- tition, and so we had to content ourselves with making a debut in television . Our programme this year began with a performance at Vaughan Road Collegiate, where we received a wonderful reception from the audience. This was a warm-up for Variety Night. On the even- ing of the Variety Night, we made two appearances, as the living statues, and then in a mat display. Our greatest experience, though, was our appearance On the CBLT from the Canadian National Sportsmen's Show. The team members this year were Bob Morgan, Murray Smart, Bill Cripps, C. Burgess, Mark Butler, Ron Beer, Geoff Lowe,Ron Young,Rand Simpson and Rich Clemence. The first game was at E.C. I. The Midgets were behind until the final quarter, when they surged ahead in the last few seconds, on to have a last-minute basket by Leaside tie the score at 31 all. The second and final game was played at Leaside . lt was the game for both teams. Both went on the floor determined to win . This game was as close as the first, and it went right to the final whistle, with tension at a peak. E.C. l. had the misfortune to lose by a 31-26 score, but the team gave a very fine representation of Etobicoke by their fine play and good sportsmanship. Their record was I2 wins, one tie, and one loss-a nice record in any league. The team's success this year was largely due to the forgottenman , the coach, Mr. Huycke, who did a wonderful iob, getting to the finals in his first year at Etobicoke . 'N W4 fy 35
