GIRLS' ATHLETICS This has been, beyond all dispute, the most outstanding year in girls' sports at Eastern Commerce. As each term passes, it leaves a history, a history that is of remarkable importance in athletic activif ties, but we, in spite of our youth, have already acquired that reputation, and Commerce is only starting on the road to athletic fame. Such progress has only been made possible by the excellent school spirit shown by our girls. They take it as a personal duty and great are the results. Athletics, and afterfschool sports may not help a girl to be an accurate typist, but after all, the way in which she plays a game will be the way in which she plays the game of Life. Both demand cofoperation, sportsmanship, grit, honesty and responsibility. These are the es' sentials of character and the crown of a successful and happy life. lk lk 'H THE YEAR'S ACTIVITIES NCE more in the realm of girls' sports a great deal has been done, thanks to our everfwilling, and helpful gym instructresses, Miss Dorothy Ker and Miss Catherine Scholes. Volleyball, the everfpopular sport asf serted itself when every form in the school, including the four specials and merchandising, entered a team. Badminf ton saw a new arrangement this year when a singles' ladder was prepared to create still wider enthusiasm than be' fore. The Basketball series is not quite completed, but the contesting forms are bubbling over in spirit to get the champf ionship. The Swimming Club, not yet at the peak of their year's programme, have shown exceptionally fine form in the meets so far participated in.

LA PETE DU TOBCGGAN jack Williamson C'etait un samecli soir, le 10 fevrier et parce qu'il ne faisait pas tres froid, seulement 15 au dessous du zero. ou quelque chose comme ca, apres une semaine de 28 ei 30 en dessous, j'allais fi la Pete du Tobog- gan. Je mis mes skis at 8.30 et partis. ll ne faisait pas froid mais il y avait tellement de vent! Cetait une belle nuit, pleine cl'etoiles. farrivai a la montagne en une demi-heure. je fus tout surpris de ne pas voir tout le monde deja la. Mais ils avaient eu peur du froid et etaient restes chez eux. Neanmoins, il y avait pres de mille personnes. La glissoire du toboggan est situee dans la montagne au centre de la ville. Elle se trouve, naturellement, sur une cote, dont la hauteur est augmentee par une structure en bois. ll y a cinq chutes de glace. ll a un mille de longueur mais on traverse cette distance ,en moins d'une min- ute, a une vitesse de 60 a 100 milles at l'heure. Toute la glissoire etait eclairee aux flambeaux. En meme temps on lancait des fusees et tout les envi- rons etait comme en plein jour. C'etait vraiment epatant de voir les toboggans filer comme 1'eC1ai1-. On n'a pas de temps pour dire les voila et deja ils sont passes. Mais, quoiqu' on ne mette qu'une minute at descendre, il faut au moins une demi-heure pour remonter. Apres le feu d'artifice, on alluma un grand feu de bois, et tout le monde put se chauffer. ll parait que la police attendait une foule immense, car ils etaient presqu'aussi nombreux que les spectateurs. Mais ils jouaient eux- memes, en se battant et en flirtant avec les jeunes filles. Quand le feu fut mort, je com- mencai a sentir le vent et je filai de suite vers la maison. Forty-six LES CANADIENS- FRANCAIS lack Williamson A quoi ressemble un Canadien- Francais? Pour vous autres a Tor- onto, c'est une question bien difficile a repondre. Vous n'en avez jamais vu. Pourtant dans la province de il y a pres .de 300,000 l'Ontario, Canadiens-Francais. C'est ici que j'ai appris ce fait-la. A nous autres a Monteal. la re- ponse est tres facile. C'est .... Anglais. Cest vrai qu- Comme un 'ils ont generalement les cheveux noirs, mais il y a beaucoup d'Anglais qui ont la meme teinte. ll y aussi des Canadiens-Francais avec les cheveux blonds et meme roux, qui ne savent pas un mot d'anglais. De plus, ils rient comme nous. Je fus surpris d'entendre cela la premiere fois. Presque tous les Canadiens- Francais parlent anglais. surtout les jeunes gens et il y a quelques 'uns qui parlent si bien qu'on ne peut guefe les 'distinguer des Anglais. Mais il n'y a pas beaucoup d'Anglais qui parlent le francais. C'est drole de voir quelqu'un qui fait des gestes. Une apres-midi j'ai vu un employe au bureau qui parlait au telephone et il etait tres fache. Avec son bras etendu il frappait l'air ou personne ne pouvait le voir. Pire que ca, j'ai vu un autre qui dictait au Ediphone et faisait des gestes pour accentuer. lk lk Ik Nous sommes tres reconnaissants des articles envoyes par Randle Griffin et Jack VVilliamson, anciens eleves, employes fi present a Mont- real aux bureaux d'une compagnie de Toronto. Nous les en remerqions beaucoup. Les autres articles, aussi sont tres interessants Lisez les tous, ils vous feront du plaisir. EASTERN ECHO

POINT SYSTEM Girls' Athletic activities, complying with past customs, are correlated by a point system. A class receives points for entering teams in the various Badminton and Tennis tournaments, and so on. At the end of the year the points are totalled and every member of the winning form receives a crest. BSI proved the victorf ious form last year, with 4Sl a close second. Something new and different has come to the fore-the junior Letter. Up until this time the only individual award has been the Senior Letter. All girls are eligible for both crests, the Junior Letter requiring fewer points, than the Senior. This Junior award has encouraged much enthusiasm among junior students. They are eagerly following the example of co' operation and leadership that has been set. GIRLS' ATHLETICS EXECUTIVE Back Row: J. Neville, M. Tyndall, M. Cooper, M. Quackenbush, M. Ingram. K.
