TECH THTLER 53 his heels. jim Locke topped the juniors with McRoberts and McVeigh placing second and third. In the T.S.S.A.A. do at High Park Mr. Soloman's coaching garnered a decisive first place for the junior team comprising Bill Hatton, jack McRoberts, Ross Wal- ton, Dave Calder, and Phillip McVeigh while Ledlie, Nicholson, Quance, Wood and White of the senior squad were nosed out of first spot by only a yard or two to cap- ture an easy second. A A BASKETBALL D.T.S. marched into the city semi-finals after a short schedule thrown together in the odd moments permitted by Bob Saunders' Hydro power black-out. The Red and White power plant for these regular games centred about the high-scoring trio of Abrams, Otto, and Petroff with Rickett turning in a basket-laden tally as the occasion arose. Central Commerce, however, managed to capture both chapters of the semi- finals despite the respectable two-game personal totals of 23 and 18 chalked up by Don Abrams and Don Otto respectively. Tl-IE GIRL HND TI-IE GHfTlE VOLLEYBALL The sports limelight for September and October focussed attention on the American G.I.'s favourite sport, volleyballg every Tuesday and Thursday enthu- siasts congregated in the girls' gym to show their stuff in the intra-mural tourna- ment. With Miss White as instructress and Guelda Goodyear as curator, winning teams finally emerged as V4C, MSG, VZA, and VIB. The season was topped off by a specially arranged inter-school match with Eastern Commerce. This ended quite happily as the two schools divided honours, with our neighbours taking the jun- ior set and the Red and White seniors capturing their end of proceedings. BADMINTON The Badminton Club also got under way early in the year. After a few weeks of practice and general limbering up the Sisters of the Shuttlecock met in a doubles tournament. Luella Leech and Geri Locke paired up to trim Dolores Howard and Guelda Goodyear for top honours. The success of the tandem tourney created a demand for the addition of singles championships and inter-school challenge matches for next year. . CHEER-LEADERS Following weeks of practice, strenuous competition before a packed auditor- ium, and a final seeding-out by the P.T. Staff, the survivors of a starting field of thirty-four in the annual cheer-leading tournament were Pauline Cumming, Bette Burford, Isabelle Alexander, Eila Aineskorpi, George Hatfield, Bob Fergus and Ross Brown. Climax to the season's tonsil-torturing activity came with the final T.S.S.A.A. rugby game and the award to the D.T.S. rabble-rousers of the Cheer-leaders' Tro- phy, presented annually for precision and originality in cheers, trimness of cos- tume, and the volume of response from the bleachers.
