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.

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. EASTERN ECHO 1 l l FIELD DAY CHAMPIONS Roma Bowman, Joyce Taylor ANNUAL TRACK AND FIELD MEET Every one, including spectators and competitors, turned out en masse to the Annual Field Day held at the Broad' view Y athletic Field. Weeks of prep, aration were climaxed as the athletes faced their final tests. Rivalry was ex' ceptionally keen in all events, and the victors were forced to give their best. For two consecutive years, Roma Bow' man and Joyce Taylor have climbed the of victory to the Senior and ladder Junior Championships respectively. The results of the various events follow: Senior 75 fyard dash Roma Bowman, Helen Fullerton, Beatrice I-lurst. Junior Joyce Taylor, Rita Lembke, Kay Rob' ertson.

THE BIG SPLASH The fair mermaids of Eastern Com' merce are again in action! A group of splashing, panting, vigorous swimmers- all working for the same endebringing home a first for Commerce. The innovation of the S system has awakened a new interest in our begin' ners. The S's are five in number and colour-each one signifying the ability of the wearer to pass the test for which it stands. The red S is the ultimate ob' ject for which we are all working. Its absence is very conspicuouse so far! We contend, however, that all members of the club will be qualified to wear it by the end of this year. The club first entered competition No' vember 28, at Danforth Technical School. The results: Northern Vocaf tional firste e49 points: Commerce, second- eeee 35 points: Danforth Technical, third-17 points. EASTERN ECHO At Parkdale, in January, we particif pared in an informal meet. There isn't any final score to report, but the girls were certainly there in ability and in spirit. A score would have brought Commerce out on top. The swimmers greatly enjoyed the meet at Oakwood in February. They tried very hard to win that day, but Cakwood succeeded in edging us out with a score io'-11. Too close for arguf ment! This was our first meet with Oakwood, and one of the club members will remember. We greatly appreci' ated their hospitality and are eagerly looking forward to their return here at Commerce. Up until this time we haven't particif pated in any return meets. lt is more than probable that the girls will score higher when swimming in familiar ground. Keep your eye on the club when Forty-nine
