PROVINCIAL CHAMPS VARSITY SOCCER As you all know they are Churchill ' s victorious provincial champions and deserve great recognition for this feat of glory. Mr. Moscovitch had aimed for this title and certainly much gratitude must go to him. In league play. Churchill won all 6 games: Churchill 6 2 3 6 3 3 Gordon Bell O Grant Park O Kelvin O Gordon Bell 1 Grant Park 1 Kelvin 1 Advancing to the city finals, Churchill defeated St. John’s in a two game total point series. Next they won the Metro Championship for the right to represent the city in the provincial championship. In the provincials held at Carman, the Bulldogs crushed Brandon in the morning round. The final game was held in the afternoon with Carman pitted against Churchill. Four goals by Fred DeKoning led Churchill to a convincing 5-0 victory, which enabled them to capture the provincial championship. Churchill’s overall record was as follows: W L T FOR AGAINST POINTS 10 1 1 40 8 21 PAGE 72

WEBSTER HOUSE MRS. B. BOND House Mistress MR. C. BELL House Master Not many words need be spilled over a great house like Webster. It is generally understood that competition from Websterites means defeat for the others. This has been obvious throughout the past year. Repeatedly our excellence in track has outshone other houses, especially among Webster’s junior high senior and varsity girls. Webster’s technique was well displayed when our Freshman girls emerged victorious in volley¬ ball. Again the determination and capability pf the junior high senior girls brought them victory in speedball, volleyball and basketball. On field day as well, Webster ' s name could not be avoided. In individual events we took quite a few ‘firsts ' , not forgetting the runners up. While praising the accomplishments of Websterites, I ' d like to give special thanks to my prefects, Nancy Hall, Laurel Blacker, Janie Pearson and June Singleton. Altogether I can justly say that this year has been a very good one for Webster and that all of us can be very proud to wear the colour and name that symbolizes a house of great spirit and vast potential. It is common knowledge around Churchill that Webster is the house. Though we may not win every year, we field the most talented and most spiritd teams. Of course when we do not win there is usually a good reason for it, and this year is no exception. The combination of the other house captains and the Phys. Ed. depart¬ ment pulled the ultimate this year. They mutil¬ ated the house system by cutting out at least half the sports; the ones at which Webster ex¬ celled. Thus we were forced to compete only in the sports which the other houses were capable of winning, or at least beating out Webster. This put tremendous pressure on even our great ath¬ letes, who still managed to win some events. For example, the boys number one Varsity basketball team captured the inter-House bas¬ ketball championship. Also, at Field Day, Keith Wasylik, Dick Zeeuwen, Warren Wasylik and Russ Ackland respectively, captured the first four places in the gruelling decathlon. This surely separated the real athletes from the misfits of other houses. I would like to thank my prefects, Keith Wasylik, Don Pincock, Tonni Buus and Victor Nishi who did a fine job in bringing out the multitudes of Webster supporters.

SOCCER PROVINCIAL CHAMPS TEAM BIOGRAPHIES Camiel Giavedoni Our goalie! “Gavi was a great asset to the team. If there was a hero in the Metro Cham¬ pionship it certainly was “Gavi”, for he made the key saves to carry us to the Provincials. His two shutouts at Carman speak for his ability. Nandor Petrov Nandor, a member of our invulnerable wall of defence, was the man in the right spot so many times. He was a giant and the rest of the team could relax when he had control of the ball. Keith Wasylik Keith was the other half of our stone wall de¬ fence. Keith did a fantastic job as he normally is a forward. His great ball control and speed put him “head and shoulders” over the op¬ position. Barry Brolly Barry also played a position strange to him. He was a tireless performer at games and practices. Barry played a key role in our many goals, although brother Al always debates this. Dick Zeeuwen Dick is half of the fabulous Flying Dutchman team. He was always the man to beat and never the man beaten. Dick also played for the Fort Rouge Juniors. Although he played for the Pro¬ vincials, while suffering an injury, his ability prevailed. Fred DeKoning Fred is the other Flying Dutchman. One of the most versatile players on the team, he played wing, goal, halfback and proved he had ability in the Provincials with 5 goals from the position of inside. Al Brolly Al was the second highest scorer on the team. He was always dangerous no matter which position he played. Because of his great play, Al was offered a soccer scholarship. This in itself speaks for his ability. Bob Cummings This talented man was a terror to opponents and their cheerleaders. There is no doubt that Bob ' s accurate passing and hard shooting played a major role in the success of the team. Berger Buus Our all-star centre is another dependable veteran from the Fort Rouge Juniors. Berger has played soccer for Churchill since grade 9. He certainly was a most valuable asset to our team. Walter McKee Churchill ' s young irrepressible, transplanted Irishman was the top scorer on the team. Wally was certainly the most valuable player in the city. His small size is no indication of the mountains of talent which he displays. Francis McKee Although still in grade 10, Francis ' s ability made up for his youth. He proved very valuable as a winger with his speed and perfect passing. It is hoped that he will return to play for the varsity squad next year as he has the potential to become one of Churchill’s soccer stars. Ray Taplin Ray proved a valuable stop gap in any situ¬ ation. He is a steady and reliable performer at almost every position. Ray will be back for more next year and will certainly figure prominently in next year ' s championship plans. Bill Hanchakove One of our never-say-die players and also one of our toughest backs. He is famous also for his songs. Bill will be another returnee to the varsity team next year. Tibor Csapo Big Tibor was a great performer for the team. There was no fear whenever Tibor was in con¬ trol. Because of his football career we missed Tibor often but he was great when he was present. Al Butler After a long lay-off from soccer, Al came back and inspired the rest of the team on to victory. Al was a stone wall in our championship games. We probably would not have won without him. Mr. Moscovitch The coach! Well, he vowed last year that Churchill would have a provincial champion soccer team. Mutch gratitude must go to him for his long hours of work and effort in producing his invincible squad. PAGE 73
