THE GIRLS’SPORT COUNCIL This year in Earl Grey the Junior High girls have incorporated a new idea. This idea was one of a Girls’ Sports Council. The council consists of the President and Sports Captain (girls only) of each room in the Junior High. When the council was assembled the officers were elected. They were: President - Lottie Schubert, Vice President - Audrey Saunders and Secretary - Brenda Stevenson. The council meets on Mondays at 4:00 and discusses any problems that the girls in the school have. With Miss McVeigh’s advice they try to find a solution for each problem. The Sports Council has sponsored Posture Week and square dancing lessons for the Junior High boys and girls, this term. We have found that a Girls’ Sports Council is very successful.

ELEMENTARY SPEEDSKATERS BACK ROW (Left to Right)—Gordon Barnes, Jackie Scott. Pat Kellet. Jenny Mack, Terry Carriere, Lome La Chance. FRONT ROW—Gerry Trider, Carole Atkins. Linda Burzanski, Carolyn McShane. SKATEN’ FOOLS Let’s pretend that you’re a speed-skater and you’re in the school speed skating races. You’re the intermediate type so you’re put into the intermediate relay with three other girls. Nearly every day, for three weeks before the races you stay for lunch to practise. Finally the big day arrives, you’re handed a competitor’s ticket and a school sweater, which is three sizes too large for you or it wouldn’t be a school sweater. You ' re told to be on time and to wear your rompers. You just make it! Miss Hodgson pins number 73 on you and tells you that you’re skating in the 14th event. While you’re standing there with your mouth hanging open someone yells, Hey, you, get your skates on.” Well, you close your mouth and start slipping you skates on. Your buddy hands you some gum and you sit there chewing nervously. You scream and yell yourself hoarse. Finally it ' s your turn. A man on the rink yells 73 . You hurry out! There are two girls ahead of you as you’re skating third. The gun booms! Off go the first girls. You stand there shaking like a leaf. After the first lap the second girl goes onto the ice to wait for the tag, and then she skates off. As she goes by someone pushes you onto the ice. You stand there all tensed up. Here she comes! She almost tags you but she falls. She ' s up again. Everybody is ahead of you when you get touched off. Then you shoot past one girl. You’re going around a corner when you catch your skate in a rut. Up you go into the air in a split fotmation. Bang, down you go but you get up again. You almost tag the next girl but you fall again. Finally you tag her. You sit at the side of the rink, your head spinning. Someone helps you off the rink. You stand at the boards and find out your team came in third. Well, next year you’ll come in first. Then when the races are over you trot off home, kind of glad that its over but a little sad that you didn’t come in first. Heather Sorensen Room 22 Grade 8 55
