FRESHMAN GIRLS VOLLEYBALL TEAM 1967 It was the autumn of 1967 when the Freshman girls volleyball team decided to win the city championship for their Centennial project. Of course, they wouldn ' t say something like that if they didn ' t mean it, so — they did it! They began their vigorous training sessions early in the season, practising morning, noon, and night against the boys team and any team brave enough to challenge their skillful spikes. Ahem! The league games began on Oct. 5, after they had won against R. B. Russell in an exhibition game. Elmwood, Sisler, Grant Park, Daniel McIntyre, Kelvin, Gordon Bell and St. John ' s all proved to be good practise for the Freshman team but that was as far as it went. However, along came Tech Voc with some keen competition. Playing on home ground, Churchill won the first game 15-7. Then Tec Voc captured the next two games 15-7 and 16-6. The two schools had to play against each other in the semi-finals. Churchill lost the first game but recovered to win the next two which led them to the finals against Kelvin, who had been playing well since the girls ' last encounter with them. Our girls took the first game 15-11. Then Kelvin scraped through the next to bring the score to 17-15 for them. That game was the toughest of the season! Finally, in the last game, the girls won 15-7. What a season it had been for theml The Champions picked up their equipment and their mascot Kapooch”, boarded a bus and celebrated their success at Ellett ' s restaurant. Thanks must go to their coach, Miss Eglin, who did an excellent job of coaching them, even though she had never played the game before. There ' s no reason why the girls can t do it for her again next year so — they will! PAGE 81

JUNIOR HIGH BOYS CROSS COUNTRY Under the able coaching of Mr. Chappell the Junior Cross Country team fared very well in the city meets. The Junior High Senior team placed second and the Junior High Junior team placed fifth in city competition. The boys trained every morning with Mr. Chappell, who paced them in his car. Special congratulations go to Laurie Mclvor who placed first in all of the city meets. The Junior team should do much better next year as most of the boys are returning.

Back Row (Left to Right): Laurie Mclvor, Duncan Daniels, Allan Weaver, Neil Feir, Peter Nikkei, Terry Naven, Bruce Wasylik. SENIOR HIGH BOYS CROSS COUNTRY Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Tayler finished fourth in city competition. The boys practised throughout the fall and the team was soon in fine condition for the coming season. But their valiant efforts went unrewarded due to the superior training of the other teams. The boys improved with each race and with the majority of the team returning next year Churchill should again be in strong contention for the city championship.

JUNIOR HIGH BOYS INDOOR TRACK Many of the junior high boys were unable to train due to the unusually long basketball sea¬ son. Only one team was entered for the pre¬ liminaries at Minto Armories. The team qualified easily here in the 4x2 relay. The team then ventured to St. James Civic Center for the Red River Relays. The team here also made a good showing by qualifying for the championships for the following night. The team however was un¬ able to attend because three of the members had untimely injuries. However they are sure to do well next year. Front Row (Left to Right): Ken Fawcett, John Queyras, Dave Mason, Peter Zeglen, Tommy Stadnyk.

They put up a good show to the end, thanks to Mrs. Kemp ' s able coaching. PAGE 82
