VOLLEYBALL VARSITY Under the able coaching of Miss Eglin, the girls showed they skill by qualifying for a three-way play-off in the finals. They won their first game, but a defeat in the next game eliminated them from further competition. Nevrtheless, the varsity team will undoubtedly be a major contendor for the city championships next year. First Row (Left to Right): Fay Strickland, Margaret Harper, Patty Daniels, Ann Yauniskis, Laurie Hunt. Second Row: Ann Mullen, Alison Carmichael, Jane Pearson, Lesley Newman, Jan Attree, Miss Eglin.

Their second victory was against Earl Grey, while their losses were suffered at the hands of Gordon Bell, J. B. Mitchell, and Grant Park.

They dropped the first game of the best-of-three series, came back to win the second, but were defeated in the deciding game by two small points. They put up a good show to the end, thanks to Mrs. Kemp ' s able coaching. PAGE 82

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

BASKETBALL Varsity In spite of their all-out intentions, the girls failed to accomplish anything too spectacular, except, perhaps, their distinguished loss to Grant Park (city champs), in the first league game, 41-1. This dampened their spirits just a little. Maintaining a never say die attitude, they managed to win a few games. The team itself would like to express its sincere thanks to Mrs. McCance, for her time and effort spent with them. It was greatly appreciated. Front Row (Left to Right): Karen Webb, Ann Mullen, Laurie Hunt. Back Row: Jan Attree. Betty Muldrew, Mrs. McCance, Jane Pearson, Lesley Newman, Ann Yauniskis. Junior High Senior This season went well for the girls, and coaches Mrs. Kemp and Andy Stefaniuk. The team won three, and tied the powerful Gordon Bell belles, whom they again faced in the semi¬ finals. Although out of practice due to exams, the girls played an excellent game. Unfortun¬ ately, they were defeated by the narrowest of margins, 17-16. In the Fort Garry tourney they captured third place. During Pep Week, the girls played their male counterparts. After a 10-6 de¬ feat, they voted unanimously to deny the boys a victory, due to their rough play. Front Row (Left to Right): Ada Olsen, Nancy Tate, Donna Lambert, Rae Smith, Jackie Taylor, Ann Powls, Linda Hanson. Back Row: Andy Stefaniuk, Gloria Slezak, Linda Sangwine, Joanne Muirhead, Sandra Ireland, Denise Le Claire, Janice Whitlock, Beverly Galbraith, Mrs. Kemp. Freshman The girls started off the season with wins over Grant Park and Elmwood. Gordon Bell edged Churchill 15-12 in the next game. After de¬ feating Daniel Mac, the girls received a taste of defeat as Tec Voc won 15-11. A very close game resulted in victory for Churchill as the girls de¬ feated Kelvin 12-11. Two more victories against Sisler and St. John ' s put them in the play offs, where they played Grant Park. Churchill lost the first game, came back to win the next, but lost 18-12 in the third. This team is determined to win next year and so is Mr. Moore, their coach. Front Row (Left to Right): Jo-Anne Cummings, Tanis Wake, June Singleton, Ursula Mueller, Debbie Strickland.
