20 THE PARK BENCH jnfsfz- ooze 372071115 BOYS' FIRST YEAR TRACK Last fall the first year students experienced their annual track meet. Due to the systematic work of the organizers, the various events were run off with perfect co-operation. To those in charge we extend our sincere thanks. The new idea of having seven places , definitely aroused keener competition and doubtlessly increased the number of participants. The events were the 75, lOO, and 440 yard sprints plus the high and broad jumps. Keith Downey of Cairns and Eric Brown of Haultain captured the top honors receiving 33 and 22 points respectively, Although Keith starred he had strong com- petition from various quarters. After the second afternoon it was a decided fact that Cairns and Haultain had the majority of winning athletes. However changes have been made to rectify this. Nevertheless the house spirit was present in good proportion. Again we wish to thank Mr. Mcliechney and the committee in charge: and hope that all future track meets will be met with the same enthusiasm. -BOB SPOONEB. ff C-IRLS' FIRST YEAR TRACK This year's grade nine girls started their first term at City Park with a bang-up track meet. As luck was with them, they had two beautiful October afternoons in which to run it off. The meet went smoothly, through the co-operation of the girls with one another and with the help of the teachers and the S.B.C. While there was co-operation in organizing the meet, on the track it was replaced by keen inter-house competition. Our stars of the afternoon were HELEN WILLIE CCD with 162 points, and ELIDA LARSON CMJ with l6 points. lt has been said that there is a very bright future for the grade nine girls. l wouldn't say that's right, but could be .

We'd like to thank Mrs. Paul and the senior girls for all the help they gave us, We heartily applaud the new system of having coaches for the individual teams. Thanks to the one who thought up this idea, and may they have many more of them. We are indeed proud of the clean sportsmanship shown in all games, and the manner in which the girls turned out to support their houses. Final standings are as follows: BATE-32: CAIRNS-30: MARTIN-25, HAULTAIN-9. -l EAN NETTLE

THE PARK BENCH 21 BOYS' BASKETBALL The arrival cf spring brought to a close another successful season of basketball, City Park's most popular inter-house sport. Before the season opened, first year and new boys were given an opportunity to better acquaint themselves with the game by taking part in several practices. As a result, a much better game than might otherwise have been expected, was played throughout the season. As in previous years, exhibition games only were played before Christmas. Each team played in 3 of these, and as a result, was in fine condition for the league. After Christmas, 6 league games were played by each team. Victory fell to the HOUSE of MARTIN, which took a 2 point lead over second place BATE. The results of the league were as follows: IUVENILE IUNIOR INTERMEDIATE SENIOR TOTAL W T L W T L W T L W T L Total Bate 3 1 l 5 - l 3 - 3 3 - 3 29 Cairns - I l l - l 4 l l 2 - 4 I6 Haultain 2 2 2 5 - l l - 5 l - 5 20 Martin 5 - l l - 5 3 I 2 6 - - 31 In the subsequent two-game-total-point-knockouts, the following teams took top honors, and won the right to represent CITY PARK in the inter-collegiate playoffs: Haultain Iuveniles, Cairns Intermediates, Bate Iuniors, and Martin Seniors. Two of these teams were successful. Both Haultain Iuveniles and Martin Seniors carried off winners' laurels. Our other tWo.teams met with defeat due to lack of finish around the opponents basket. Time and again plays clicked perfectly, only to fall to pieces at the last moment. Credit for much of our success this year is due, as in past years, to Mr. Evans' untiring work, both in organization and at games. The fact that more boys took part in HOUSE BASKETBALL than in any other sport testifies to his high degree of efficiency. To Mr. Evans we express our sincere appreciation. We also extend thanks to the referees, scorekeepers, and timekeepers, for their excellent work in making our league the success it was. -TOM SHARP I ff CURLING H Curling this year in City Park was most successful, both competition and the number of teams entered being much greater than in the past. Eight teams in all were entered, in addition to a number of substitutes. As the playoffs drew near, all the cu.rlers were at their best and each team was eager to try for the honors. Their arrival brought mutual satisfactionto all, and after the smoke of battle had cleared, the team skipped by Herb Clement emerged victorious, having defeated Iinx Mac- Donald's rink in the final game. As a result of their activities, the skips of the eight rinksreceived crests. The inter-collegiate finals were played this year between Bedford Road, Nutana, and City Park. City Park first played Nutana and then met Bedford, winning both games, and so bringing a successful conclusion to the seasonts activities. The mem- bers of the winning team were: lim Crickett, Bob Sasseville, lim Harrington, and Herb Clement. - It is hoped that the increased interest in curling will continue next year, and under the capable guidance of Mr. Early it hardly seems possible for it to do other- wise. Many thanks Mr. Early, and may next year be even more prosperous. The excutive of the curling club this year consisted of: President-Don Kirk, Vice-President-Herb Clement, and Secretary-Bob Myers.
