TUMBLING After Christmas the Tumbling and Apparatus Club went into action. Any- one dropping into the girls' gym every other Wednesday afternoon would see in one corner of the gym, Adele Bar- nett, Dorothy Dafoe, Lorraine Gilland- ers, El-izabeth Bacon, Sally N'aismith, Ferne Gould, Anne Haston, and Helen Holland using a springboard to prac- tise high and stylish jumps to be used in the annual Tech Exhibition. Another corner would reveal benches piled three and four high with Kae Divitcoff, Joyce McCall, Marilyn Ward, Doreen Begley, Fran Watt, Dorothy Fulcher, and Dot Lawtnher vaulting over them and deep jumping to mats below. To the east, wall-bars would be in use by Marg Davidson, Vi Buchanan, Joyce Busby, Shirley Labatte, Shirley Fulcher, Marg Wilson, Lorna Durie, and Joan Pearson practising monkey- climbing. In the centre of the floor tumbling mats would be laid out and up and down the mats Joan Black, Do- reen Cooper, Betty Garratt, Dianne Tec:-I Tr-men Kenning, Yvonne McIntyre, Joan Pen- nelli, and Lois Tinkham would be doing farward rolls, headstands, backward rolls, handstands, and finally all these would be climaxed by a pyramid. Many aches and pains would be the toll of the following day but these would not keep the members from re- turning again to succeeding practices. Doreen Begley, M4G. BADMINTON In November the girls' badminton club met to nominate officials. Joan Watmough was elected president and Anne Brownscombe, secretary. Barbara Allen, Polly Atanas, Thora Back, Joan Charles, Isabel Gibson, Marie Hackley, Lois Honeyborn-e, Joan Ingleson, Joan MacDonald, Gwen McIntyre, Yvonne McIntyre, Ethel Price, Naomi Shige- tomi, Alice Takata, Janice Wylie, and Asaka Yonekura were the members. Each Friday after school the faithful of the club descended to the girls' gym to play in a continuous tournament. Each game lasted until one couple suc- ceeded in getting its score up to fifteen. In this way members were given a chance to play against different, oppon- ents and to increase their skill. Before the double tournaments several weeks of practising took place under the super- vision of Miss Wh-ite. A -hard-fought schedule finally saw competition narrowed down to four teams. Then the J. MacDonald-I. Gib- son combination captured top spot, leav- ing in runner-up positions J. Charles and J. Watmough, E. Price and B. Alleng and M. Hackley and Y. McIntyre.
