EASTERN ECHO 60 Hoof. This game was rather one-sided, although both teams were excellent players. Commerce girls defeated their opponents, the score being 35-17. ZL, I think, deserve much credit and comtnendation. They played a whole season's volleyball without one defeat. Their line-up was as follows: Helena Lembke QCaptainj, Lily Middlestadt, Irene XN'indows, ftlildred Hirst, Frances Brann, Elsie Ward, Doris Rutter, Noreen Robinson, .lean VValker. INTERFORM BASKETBALL Due to a decision among the gymnasium teachers of the different schools, inter-collegiate basketball ceased this year. In place of the usual Senior and junior teams, the school is to he represented by the winning inter-form team. just a little reminder of last years hasketl:alle-although the teams were not very successful, a keen spirit of sportsmanship and love of the game was prevalent throughout the series. The inter-form series was won by ZH in a swift, hard game against 355. Each member of the victorious team was presented with a crest. This year, only the Senior teams of the school have had their chance to play. Every form has been well represented. As the game progressed, the spirit of sportsmanship progressed with them. It is unfortunate that there are no school teams this year, for there certainly is excellent material in the - V -fi,-,,,.-.-u 1- v - 3S3 UPPER-SCHOOL BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS Roma Bowman, Doris McConnell, Isobel Greer, Margaret Denlelbeck.

VOLLEYBALL The volleyball season is over and oh, what fun. Every form in the school produced some kind of a team. 1M were the first form champions and had to play ZL, the second form champs, in a semi-final game. ZL proved victorious. The final game was between SSS, the upper-school victors, and ZL. This game was a thrill and a heart throb, the score being nip and tuck throughout the entire game. ZL won the first game. SSS were much ahead in the second, but the girls were not so sure of their serving and ZL outclassed their opponents 15-12. SSS, the upper-school champions, played a friendly game with Northern Vocationalls upper-school girls. Northern's court was large and Commerce players were not quite hefty enough for their opponents and we went down to defeat with a score of S6-20. c ZL, our school champions, met Northerns' school champions on our 2L SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS First Row-N.

70 EASTERN ECHO senior forms. The Special class have entered a team in the series and they must be congratulated on their team work. The linal senior game was played on Monday, March 21, and the two teams who battled for the school championship were Special and SS3. Evidently the SS3 team believe in constancy, for they were .in last year's finals with practically the same team. SS3 proved the superior team and got their picture in the Echo. Perhaps it is only fair to mention the fact that four of the girls playing on the Special team were on different school teams last year. The junior series will be played off after the Easter Holidays. They have had to show patience, but at the same time have had a longer time for practice. VVe can only hope that this series will run as smoothly as the Senior. These inter-form games have been ably refereed by Senior girls and have been most capably managed by the basketball curator, Ada jones. BADMINTON Badminton, a new feature in Girls' Athletics, was started after Easter last year for the first time and proved very successful. There was a mem- bership roll of over one hundred girls. Three nights a week were devoted to this particular sport and all players enjoyed themselves immensely. At the close of the season a tournament was held in which any member was eligible to enter. Miss Betty Phelps, our 'able gym instructress, refereed the final game between Mamie Ramm, Eileen Radford and Irene and Helena Lembke. The game was very exciting and was won by Irene and Helena. Badminton has just begun this year and the girls are getting in trim for the coming tournament. EASTERN COMMERCE TUMBLING TEAM First Row-D. Beckett, L. Ralston, M. Gibson, H. Lembke, M. Darlow, I.
