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

INTERSCHOOL VOLLEYBALL Etobicoke can again take credit for a most successful year in inter-school volleyball. Both teams with their own noteworthy style of spiking, blocking, set-ups, and serving, proved to their opponents that they were tops. The seniors have added the fifth successive undefeated year of volleyball . The highlights of the senior tourna- ment were our win over the grads in an exciting game, 33-27, and our closest and most thrilling game came with our trip to Hamilton Westdale where we encountered slightly different rules and a championship team. How- ever, we succeeded in coming out on top in the last minutes of the game with a score of 33-30. Later, we were entertained by the Hamilton team at the home of one of their players. Although we had our doubts, we are happy to report that our coach has now recovered from that game. We all agreed as we started home that our trip had been most successful and we are looking forward to another. Both Junior and Senior teams ioin me in extending hearty thanks to our coach, Miss Stewart, who is re- sponsible forthe team play and skill that make her teams champions . Back: P. Garlick, C.A.
