THE BLACK AND GOLD SllID1DlIR6lIL S The Blank Expression on the boys faces Was caused by the de- feat from Campbellton Football team. FOOTBALL Poirer, Parker, Cliffcrfl. Chamb- ers, Gould, Swinnard, Tower, Le- Blanc, LeClair, Bissett. Sullivan, Finnegan, Kittrick. McDonald, Harris, Laviolette, CCapt.J, O'Brien CMgr.D, Taylor fCoachJ. The boys did not show up so good this year. but -at least they tried to Win. They Won two games and lost four. Injuries were more numerous than touchdowns. With Chambers hurting his knee badly, LeBlanc, Savoie and Clifford, spraining their ankles and O'Brien breaking his shoulder, it looks as ,f We Were ai hard luck team. There was only five of our boys who crossed the line, these being: iLeB1anc, Sullivan, Kittrick, O'- Brien and Swinnard. A SOFTBALL When the m-antle of snow left the green clad slopes of Dalhousie mountain, the urge to get out in the air, With the green turf under our feet, came to the industrious boys of D.H.,S. This urge, with the help of Mr. Scott, was fulfill- ed by t-he formation of a four team league. These teams Were: Finnegan's Aces, LeClair's Dyna- mos, O'Brien's Bull-Dogs, and Parker's Sluggers. After the sche- dule had been played 0'Brien's Bull-Dogs were the winners never having lost a game.

THE BLACK AND GOLD VAIIBIIEBIIDIIIGEEQIINDIIRCY you fail you have only yourself to blame, because it will be only through lack of study and appli- cation to your work. Members of Grade X15 our class is in the unique position of being the first class from this school to graduate under the tragic shadows of a new war. This class has prob- ably more responsibilities than any class that has graduated be- fore. We -are about to take our places in life in a warftorn world, and it is our responsiblity to help. We acknowledge our contribution to Dalhousie, to Canada, to the British Empire, must be greater on this account. The rigors of war will undoubtedly change the dir- ection of our pathw-ays. Instead of further preparatlon for a voca- tion as we might have in peace- time. We must gird our loins for war. To our generation has fall- en the task of defending the principles -and ideals of Democ- racy. On our young shoulders rests the future of the British Empire. Let us make one re- solve that we shall give all, even our lives to accomplish our end- VICTORY. 'WQ7 el2n7'-

THE BLACK AND GOLD SlIl9lDlIRtlItS BOY'S HOCKEY After a fairly successful foot- ball season, D. H. S. got off to -a bang-up hockey year. The four teams were as usual sponsored by Loggie's, Eddy's, Lounsbury's and Hillcrest. The four teams were picked from the list of eligi- ble players of the school, and coached by old timers picked by the sponsors. After the preliminary games were over and the play-offs fin'- ished, we found Lounsbury's team on top. It might be noticed that this same te-am had been the runner- up in the two previous years, losing in each case by only one score. But each year they came back, just a little bit better. Now they are the Champs -and the holders of the L.S. Henry Trophy. In March the boys were given their annual banquet during which Lounsbury's. presented their boys w.th a c.up, expressing their thanks for their victory. GIRL'S HOCKEY The g'rl's hockey team had a very successful year during 1939- 40. On February 21st we played in Campbellton and lost to the Camp- bellton team by a score of 4-1. A returned game was played on Feb- ruary 29 and once more the C'ton grls emerged victorious with a score 1-O. However this does not d scourage us -and we are eager to meet them again next year. In these games We received a few bumps, but the only serious ac- cident was the time Helen's face came in cont-act w th the puck. Keen competition was shown in games with the Town Girls, -our team losing only one of several games. The players on the team were: Goal, Helen Elsligerg defence, Lilly Methot, Betty Chamberlain! forwards, Irene SW nnard, Etta Brown, Patty Grimmer, Pearl Smith, Priscilla Button, Kay Mac- Donald. The girls wish to thank Blake O'Brien for his advice and help during the past year. Miss B. Jamieson.
