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

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.

the return meets are held! They start on March 9th, when Cakwood visits Commerce for the first time. Last year at the Hobby Show, held at Central Y. M. C. A., our relay team carried off honours for the second year. A silver cup was presented in acknowf ledgement of their prowess. Many other events were also won by our girls. We have great hopes of having even better luck this year. Lifefsaving is forging ahead with a record class this year. Commerce is greatly contributing to the cause of safe swimming. The members number about thirty. The majority of the girls are in the bronze class. For the first time in our lifefsaving history we have three students doing diploma work. The diploma is the highest award of the Life Saving Society to which we are affilif ated. We wish the whole class GOOD LUCK! A very interesting programme has only begun. There have been two parties for holders of the black, green and yellow S. The Club has held one meet among its own members. We recommend that you watch for our large demonstration. It will be soon. It will be interesting! You are all inf vited! BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS Back Row: l. Lembke, CCuratorj Mdgs.-F. Clitheroe, A. Jones, QCaptainj, V. Galbraith, A. Hodgins, Miss Ker. Abse1itHG. Nixon, M.
