Although beaten by Cathedral in the finals at Civic Stadium, we compiled a record of four wins, one loss and one tie. Much of the credit for our success goes to our coaches, Messrs. Ahrens and McQueen, who built us from a completely inexperienced squad to a fine, spirited team. We were credited with the Most Valuable Player, half-back Ed Stodulka; and All-Star line-man Ron Bridgeland, who will return next year along with a few others. Unfortunately, Ed suffered a broken leg in the last game of the season against Hill Park on the way to his ninth touchdown. In the final against Cathedral we played our hearts out, but their size and strength proved too much. But, with the experience gained this season, next year the story will be different.

eJjelta 03ou 4 htockeu J ea 9 y This year saw the boys ' hockey team starting from scratch. The only players from last year ' s squad were Bob Harrison, John Rekrut, and Bob Williston. This meant that a completely new team had to be assembled, trained, and moulded into a fighting hockey machine. Mr. Dinning took those raw recruits and did that very thing. Mr. Bill Dinning, after an illustrious career, refused to hang up his skates after twenty-one years in the O.H.A. He has a wealth of hockey knowledge and the happy knack of bringing out the best in young hockey players. Mr. Don Ahrehs is a real find for any school. He led his junior football team into the City finals this year but he was not satisfied with this. He took on the hockey team and worked his heart out. Mr. Ahrens has such a great will to win that his very presence instills the same desire in the players. Jerry Dion ... came late in the season and plays a steady game in the net; Bob Harrison ... top scorer on the team (a sneaky shot); Tim Morrison ... has all the ingredients of a great hockey player; Bob Williston ... has a good shift and sets up a nice play; John Rekrut ... one of the fastest skaters on the team and always digging; Brian Knight ... overflows with desire and drive; Phil Woodworth ... plays a steady game up the middle; Steve March ... skates well and digs the corners; Clyde Spearing ... smallest player on the team with plenty of desire; George Thomas ... plays a steady game on the wing; John Negro ... one of the best defense men inthe league; John Goldsmith ...rugged and shows no fear; Kit Dinning ... Captain and policeman of the team; Rus Evens ... trainer and story-teller. R. Evans, Mr. Ahrens, D. Irwin, Mr. Dinning, C. Dinning, R. Williston, R. Harrison, J. Rekrut, T. Morrison, D. Wood, P. Woodward, J. Goldsmith, G. Thomas, C. Spearing, J. Negro. R. Chapman, S. Marsh, B. Knight. wmmmpmmmm mwnm

Senior JootLall 1960-61 If one word could be used to describe Delta ' s boys ' sports this year, it would be frustration . The senior football team would indeed fall into this classification, because in a season of six league games we managed to scrape up only one win. We were a bit more fortunate in our exhibition schedule as we posted victories over Waterdown and Ridley College. Our team was blessed with good coaches, fairly good players, lots of team spirit -- but, unfortunately, no points! Our coaches, Mr. Watson, Mr. Dodds, and Mr. Kennedy, and our team manager Mr. Wood all did a great job during the season for the work that they did put into the team is certainly to be complimented. We do also owe a great deal of thanks to our student managers, Ron Purdon, Pete Chapman, and Andy Bily. Such key players as Dave Donat, Vic Stretkowicz, and Vic Ranalli were lost to the team because of injuries, and we know that this was a great factor in our poor season. Next year should be a different story, since most of the team will be returning with a year ' s experience under their belts. Some of the highlights of the year: John Rekrut and his numerous injuries; John Walker and all his noise: Wayne Gate and his jokes; Dave Hajas and his M.V.P. award; Wayne Madden and his elbows; Lou Marcuzzi and his big smile; John Smye and his black eye; Trevor Madden and his long passes; Mr. Kennedy and his exercises; Ken Cooper and his hair; Terry Simpson ' s change on the bus; Ray Winchie and his stomach; the boys ' on the bench and their front seat view of the cheerleaders.
