40 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE SPORTS Sporting activities in E. H. S. are ended for 1941-42. Due to the lack of inter-school competition and perhaps to lack of enthusiasm amongst the students, this term has not been one of the best. Nevertheless, that is past history and there is a brighter side to the picture. Much credit is due to the boys and girls of this school, who have upheld the high stand¬ ard of sporting activities and have made Eastwood High School widely known. To the teachers and experienced leaders go the thanks of all the students, who would have had a difficult time in organization had it not been for their assistance. During the fall and winter months, the girls organized a fine basket¬ ball house league. Great enthusiasm was shown and every room was represented. Room 14 won the girls’ banner—but not until the other teams had gone down fighting. To the senior girls’ basketball team goes the praiSe ' of the entire school for the fine spirit shown in the few games they played. The girls were coached jay Miss Harris, Sam Shecter, George Younie, Ken Deane and Brian Dunsworth. The boys above mentioned take an active part in city basketball and for their support and instruc¬ tion the senior girls feel deeply grateful. During this term the boys’ gym did not see much organized activity. This may be partly due to the fact that Air Cadets, Sea Cadets and other branches of the armed forces have occupied the spare time of the boys. This, of course, is unavoidable and in their training the boys receive physical training and sports. Another factor may be the general low attendance throughout the school. Many boys have left school and a number have enlisted. These may be the reasons why there has been a lack of house-league competition among the boys. Basketball and volleyball teams were chosen and a number of games were played, but enthusiasm waned and the teams disbanded. However, the few boys who did show some sporting blood had a fine time—and to them the year has been a success. —Continued on Pape 54

42 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE SNOOPY SUZIE Well, folks! Here’s Suzanna Snoopsnagle’s latest review of the gossip of E. H. S. It seems that L. T. finds the company of our intriguing president very delightful, so apparently does G. S. What’s the big attraction, girls? After long consideration, it seems that our Boys’ Sports Rep finally decided that the love-life of Olde E. H. S. too much for him. Is there a certain something about the air in the Highlands that is particularly agreeable to that dashing young Romeo of Room 19, namely J. Baldwin? Jan Taylor used to be fairly prompt mornings when she arrived at school in the “bus.” Could it be a scarcity of roosters that is the cause of her delay nowadays? Looma (Ernest to you) Jamison has caused such a flutter in so-oo many feminine hearts recently, the boys are beginning to worry. Has anyone noticed that new tricycle of Don Fallis’? We hear that it’s built for two. What is it about Fuibert Vance that so attracts “Tiddiley” Dennis- toun? Could it be his sox appeal? Harry calls it a car, but thank goodness that’s only one man’s opinion. Well, folks! Why not try patronizing the ’Scona dances to get the line up on the big attractions—so called by G. Younie? Who was that girl we saw with the “Yank in the R.C.A.F.” Saturday? It couldn’t be P. Jackson, could it? Quit being a “Yank in the U.S.A.” and be a “jerk” at home. Who is the A.C.(2) in Corporal Doug Baines’ heart? What brand of tooth-powder does Doris Smith use, that gives her that super “come hither” smile? We try but never seem to be able to get results. Eastwood’s man-about-town, “Breezy” Dunsworth, was very cut-up about his clarinet solo Friday night. He managed very well when playing with the others; but his reed just seemed to get twisted when he got up there by himself. You should have seen that mad dash to the Rialto theatre Friday, as hundreds of frenzied women dashed up to nab jobs as usherettes. By the way, did those young chappies who were looking for the Lux toilet soap to improve their complexions ever find it? Have you noticed any improvement? What’s the matter with the girls around Eastwood nowadays, Mr. Madill—they used to suit your taste pretty well, didn’t they? Barbara Newnham evidently found her Elmer after the concert Fri¬ day night. She had four escorts taking her home. The lucky girl! Events certainly are reaching a climax when J. Davies begins treating D. Muir so readily that he is left lying flat on his back. If all the girls of Ye Olde Alma Mater would be as patriotic in writing to and entertaining the forces, as a certain young lady in Room 21, they would know no dull moments. —Continued on Page 44
