52 RIFLE TEAM During the 1948-49 season the rifie team made an excellent showing in the two Dominion matches. They placed second in the D.C.R.A. with an average of 95.1 and third in the A.C.L.C., aver- aging 94.6 for twelve men, losing both trophies to a team from Lamont, Alta. Wendell Stevenson led the way in both matches with an average of 99.7 and, in addition to winning a best shot crest, he won the Elms trophy for the third straight year, firmly establish- ing himself as the outstanding shot in the school. The other members of the team were D. Ellis, first class crest and D. Pelz, T. Orrett, C. Sirois, J. Griffin, V. Clark, G. Marshall, J. Nolan, and G. Ellis awarded second class crests. 'Ilhis year Mr. Elms has very few members of last year's team returning to the school and is counting on the new shots whom Mr. McKenzie, Mr. Millar, Mr. Bleecker, and Mr. Knox are sending up to the team from their after school practices. If Danforth is to keep up the high standard of marksmanship which has won it several Dominion champi-onships in the past few years, many more good riflemen will have to come out and aid the team. Come on, Danforthg show them how! SKI CLUB Snow came early this year, so Dan- forth ski enthusiasts organized, with high fhopes, their ski club. Mr. J. R. Potvin sponsored the club and the ofiicials were elected by the members. These people were: presi- dent, Glen Fitzgeraldg vice-president, Gordon Watsong secretary, Mae Gennog and treasurer, Don Palmer. An able committee of assistants, Margot Hitch- cock, Betty Garrat, J acki Kerslhner and Ferne Gould was also elected. These people worked 'hard and, still scanning the sky for snow-clouds, managed to get seventy-three paid-up members by Christmas. TECH TFITLER We had Aa wonderful snow storm on January 7 and came back to school with h-igh hopes of a trip to Dagmar the following week-end. Rain, however, dampened our spirits and we couldn't manage a trip before March 's lion pro- vided the snow. So, throughout January and Febru- ary, the moths enjoyed our new ski- suits, but we still hoped for ten feet of snow, keeping our spirits up by holding a very successful dance in the ygm. That March snowfall saved the day, however, and the club recorded a bon- anza year. Here's 'hoping there is more snow next year! BASKETBALL M4C took the 1950 Senior Interform Basketball Championship in a thrilling final clash with I3A. The Fourth Form- ers had to win the hard way over a close-knit Grade XI defence, coming from a 9-15 half-time deficit to eke out the title by the narrow margin of one point, 19-18. I. i t li l O'Bright and Shedden were the best hoopsters for the winners running up over half their aggregate between them, while Abernethy and Petroff sparked the I3A quintet. Rfoll-call for the new school champ- ions runs: Buckner, Welsh, O'Bright, Nesbitt, Shedden, Medland, Frank Rich- ards, Don Richards, Keith Rycroft, and John Surgeoner.
