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

BASEBAll A very successful baseball season commenced early in the school year, and with the aid of capable curator, Jean Mclnnis, the games got off to a good start. ln the lntermediate division, six teams participated, each playing three games. ln the Senior division, only four teams competed . Team C, led by Beth Lawson took the top honours, winning two out of three games. Our congratulations to the winners and our thanks to all participants for making such a successful tourna- ment. GAA. BANQUET The Annual G.A.A. Banquet was attended by 300 girls. After a delightful supper, provided by the mothers, awards according to G.A.A. standards were presented. Junior crests were presented to seventeen girls . Senior crests were won by Barb Bell, Anne Davidson, Pat Garlick, Nlarg. Johnston, Joy Little, Ann Mount, and Barb Wilson . The highlight of the ceremony was the presentation of honour pins to Bev. Taylor and Lois Layter, who well deserved them, as emblematic of their participation and interest in girls' athletics. At Commencement, Mary Bodrug, Etobicoke's all-round girl of 1952-3, was presented with the Honour Cup. Our congratulations to herl ARCHERY Every year, archery is one of the popular activities for girls in the spring. Girls in Grades Ten to Thirteen are given the opportunity to participate in a toumament after school. Awards are given to those scoring the highest points, and last year, the senior championship was skillfully won by Evelyn Gerow. Top archers in their grades were Mary Richardson and Donna Sutton, who won the lntermediate and Junior Championships respectively. Most of last year's archers will be strong contenders in the tournament this year. Let's see if we can't have some stiff competition! BADMINTON The girls' athletics of '53 closed with the badminton tournament. For four weeks, badminton enthusiasts battled to decide the champions. To stay in the touma- ment, each team could lose only one game. The second loss meant elimination. All honour is due Joanne Rankin and Winnie Nlowat, Junior champions, and Joy Little and Ann Mount as Senior champions, who survived the attacks of all comers. All through the tournament, the spirit of good sportsmanship was displayed by all con- testants. To all who took part, thanks for your contri- bution to a successful toumament and to its champions congratulations . dvi 37
