Q,aJe 11 Mt-Slar EaAetUii NEW IN NUMBER - STRONG IN SPIRIT This year ' s team was composed of nine players who were faithful and willing to do their best to uphold the high tradition and sportsmanship o f Delta. Westdale played host to Delta in the most important game of the season, Delta ' s record was three wins and one loss. Delta ' s defeat. The game was hard fought to the very last second. A special mention should be given to the guards who played their best game of the season holding Westdale ' s high score nineteen points. The final score was 18-19. Although the girls lost the Interscholastic championship by one point they excelled in exhibition games together with the grade 12 ' s , grade 11 formes. The members of a senior team who have been the S.O.S.S.A. champions for the past two years. Their exhibition schedule included a game with Waterdown. For this game the combination of grade 11 and 12 ' s teamed up to display their skill and all-around ability. Delta ' s halls rang with cheers of victory as the final whistle blew. This winning trend extended itself against Loretto Academy. Loretto literal ly invaded our school bring- ing with them their very enthusiastic supporters but even their spirit and determination did not help as Delta overcame the visitors. To bring the season to a stirring climax, Delta travelled to Hamilton Teacher ' s College where they engaged the Intermediate team. It was a short struggle, the ball changing hands several times until the first whistle indicated a 27-27 tie. The grade 11 All-Star team wishes to thank their coach Miss Rapsavage for her enthusiasm and encouragement. Without her support the team wouldn ' t have accomplished what it did.

Senior Waterpolo The year 1961 saw Delta ' s senior waterpolo team uphold their championship, when they defeated Central by a 5 to 3 margin in the championship game. The team had no serious threat all season, as they breezed through the league without a loss. The roster saw Terry Mykes in goal, who had two shut-outs all season, and was a great asset to the team. On defense the team had Bob Burnett and Ron Lawson who were both strong players who could throw very accurate passes. The wings had Roy Gunell and Ken Comber who were both strong swimmers, and Roy was the second top scorer on the team with nine goals all season. The rover was Carl Banek who had the strongest shot in the league, and was a threat to all other goal-tenders in the league. The centre man was Larry Brokenshire who was the top scorer of the league with twelve goals in all. Our other players were almost as strong as the first team. Lychuk and Gibson could be placed on either wing or defense and were both good swimmers. The last two players were McManus and Harris, two good players. The team was coached again by Mr. H„ Kornelson who had both junior and senior teams in good phy- sical shape this year. He was assisted by student coach, Jack Brokenshire, a past player with the team. As stated by Hamilton ' s waterpolo authority, Mr. Jimmy Thompson, this year ' s senior team was the strongest waterpolo team he had ever seen come out of the high school league.
