committee compost-cl uf rl. llitta, M. Herriott, M, Connor and li. Tnlliot, The various teams showed enthusiasm throughout the basketball season and availed themselves of every op- portunity to practice. much of which was clone in the lunch periods. A preliminary series was organized for the purpose of getting the teams in shape for the regular schedule. After many thrilling Qames, J, Roach was able to lead 10 to the first form championship, R. McCutcheon guided ZD into the charmed circle for sec- ond forms, and A. Marr again captained the 4G Buccaneers to the school honours. BOYS' SWIMMING CLUB This year the same policy has been car- ried out as last year. Each Thursday the swimming club meets, under the direction of Mr. Douglas, for a scheduled list of events. These are handicaps. with the handicaps changing each week according to past per- formances of the swimmers. Each week also has 'its relay races and water-polo games. Rib- bons are awarded to the event winners. These Q are in the school colours: 1st red. Znd gold. and 3rd black, with the printing on each varying to form the school colours. Points are also awarded: 5 for lst place, 4 for Znd. 3 for 3rd, 2 for 4111, and 1 point for enter- ing the event. At the end of the season, a cup is awarded to the highest point winner and medals to the two runners-up. At present it is a very close race for top honours be- tween Bill Stanley with 31 points, Harry jen- nings with 29 points and Trevor Heard with 28, The points of the other swimmers vary as follows: Black: 25, lNIcCutcheon: 21.

The first. against Jarvis, turned out a triumph for the junior team with a final score of 26 to 14 in favour of Commerce. Danforth Tech. Jun- iors and Intermediates also had to acknow- ledge the Easterners' 37 to their 29. The last BOYS' SWIMMING CLUB Standing: R. MacKenzie. T. Heard, L. Fullerton, Mr. P. Douglas. C. Fyfe, R.

This was the first major score against Riverdale in two years. Malvern was a tricky team, and scored a win the first meeting with Lady Luck help- ing them along considerably. The second' ses- sion they looked like a real team and cer- tainly deserved the win, Tech. was the heavy team, and while we held them off for a while, they squeezed out a win. The last game of the season with Tech. was when we showed top form. In the last quarter. Harris and Porto moved the yard sticks seven times in a row. and Talbot threw a perfect short forward pass to Chis- holm for a touchdown. These boys are experienced now, and should show class next year when they graduate to the junior ranks, under the able management of Mr. Doidge. SOCCER With the approach of the fall season, many boys' thoughts turn to rugby, but this year soccer also enjoyed our whole-hearted support. EASTERN ECHO Many of our able-bodied boys turned out with enthusiasm to uphold the prestige of their form, climaxing one of the finest sea- sons of soccer held at this school. Under the competent leadership of Lorne Maclntyre, the boys of 4G could not be de- nied the championship, and for the second year in succession they were the crowned champions of the school, defeating 2D in a bitterly-fought game. the score being 3-Z after over-time. IG led by J. Richards became the lower school champions by defeating 10 with a score of 2-O. Because of their fine playing throughout the season. IG certainly deserved to win. The players of these two winning teams were presented with crests, and the soccer committee. consisting of J. Spofford, J. Cas- tello and W. Mcfieely. received leaders' crests, INTERFORM BASKETBALL The interform basketball league was con- ducted this year with great success under the guidance of Mr. Carter. Mr. Copp and a Eighty-seven

meet to date was an under-sixteen-years-oh age competition with York Memorial. This seemed to suit the boys even better for they scored 47 to their visitors' 10 points. The teams are looking forward with keen interest to the city championships to be held at Hart House. Last year they were nosed out of first honours in the junior events by Humberside Collegiate, but they feel confi- dent of putting up a stronger team this year. THE GYM TEAM There has been a large turnout this year for both the junior and senior gym. teams, and a great deal of good material has been secured. With this material we hope to de- velop an ideal gym team to entertain at a concert or two and possibly take part in an exhibition. The juniors are looking forward to next year, when they hope to be improved enough to compete for the trophy cup presented to the best all-round gymnast. Last year this cup was won by Bill Finlay, who is not with us this year. However, last years seniors, D. Fisk. L. Houghton. S. Vousden and 3. Rhodes are still with the team and they are doing their best to help the juniors in the work, and at the same time prepare them- selves for our annual Gym Tournament. TRACK AND FIELD Pre-season training was carried on in the boysl gymnasium in the early spring as the school yard was not yet dry. The boys were given the use of the gym and the equip- ment after school hours on certain days of the week. They were also given instructions on how to train for the various events for the coming field day. As soon as the back cam- pus was dry, the field equipment was trans- ferred to the yard, and under the able direc- tion of Mr. F. Schnick, the boys were in- strieted in the correct method of using the equipment to good advantage, -s GYM TEAM Bottom Row: G. Venn, E. Sadler. G. Andrews. R. Walkerdine. J. Fraser, S. Dean, R.
