SKATING AFTER F OUR y Buzz-zz-zz! There goes the bell to end another school day, but why all the hurry? Ah! yes, to-day is the first time we are going to the rink to skate. After being without a rink for Aa year, I wonder if we will all be able to mani- pulate our feet on the ice. Well, let's go down and see how everyone .is mak- ing out. Oh, Oh! It looks as if all have shown up, for look at the crowd. Round and roundithey go and where they stop. . . Well, your guess is just as good as mine! Oh! Oh! There go those rough-necks with their game of tag, always getting in the way. Look out! -close your eyes, for here they come. Bang!-Crash! '6Boy, is that ice hard!', Another pile-up, but isn't it fun? Down in the far corner we see our figure skaters practising their familiar tactics. Yes, these are all familiar scenes which might have been observed during our skating periods. We are indeed indebted to the School Board for granting us this privilege and we hope that they will continue to do this in the future. ' -ALBERT LoacH, GRADE XIII THE SKATING PARTY Only one skating party was held this year on account of the short skating season. We had a wonderful time and the rink rang with our laughter. Soft drinks were sold under the Athletic Society's direction, but we still cannot understand the mysterious disappear- ance of one bottle of chocolate milk. The party, however, was a great suc- cess from both the entertainment and financial standpoints. l -JoHN ROWLAND, GRADE XIII E. H. S. HOCKEY MATCHES This winter only two hockey games were played by E. H. S. The first took place on January 11 at the rink. The high school played the Elmira Up- towners and defeated them badly, 8-1. One week later they played a Floradale team. I guess we'll have to admit that Floradale had a good team because the outcome of this game was not as good as that of the first one. The score here was 5-3. The line-up was as follows: Goal--Rudowg Defence- Hambly, Millerg Centre-Arnoldg For- wards-O'Krafka, Lorchg Spares- Vines, Weichel, Robbins. --ROLAND BORCHARDT, GRADE XII ' 9 Relchards The Store with a Complete Stock of I GENERAL DRY GOODS AND GROCERIES T We Appreciate Your Patromzge Get - it - at - Reichards' PHONE 307 ELMIRA I 43

It was a complete success with the weather conditions in our favour. There were many specta- tors other than the high school students. Grade XII had the pleasure of discov- ering new athletes who helped them to carry off the shield which they have won for three years in succession. The results were as follows: GIRLS Champion Runner-U p Senior Girls Betty Vice Beverly Shurly Intermediate Girls Ruth Klinck Thelma Ziegler Junior Girls Erma Martin Delorus Paprotka BOYS Senior Boys Ralph Robbins Albert Lorch Intermediate Boys Iohn Arnold Donald Huehn Junior Boys George Lee Edward Hill Juvenile Boys Kenneth Wilken Ronald Rau We -are hoping for a successful field meet again next year. -ESTHER SOEHNER, GRADE XII 42 I 5 mf-ml BADMINTUN A Badminton tournament to a new- comer is quite an exciting affair. And so I found myself entering the gym at my first tournament with a great deal of enthusiasm and quite a few misgiv- ings. After watching the players bat those queer-looking, fluffy balls about, though, I was ready to .try my hand at the game. Ross took me under his wing and for my first game we took on Miss Evans and Ralph, and guess who won? You're wrongg we did-or rather Ross did. After that, Eddie didn't seem to pair me off with kindred souls and I failed to win another game. Ah, well, I sat beside Miss Axford and sympa- thized with her as we watched Slim and Betty battle it out, while over on the far court Ed wore out his vocal cords try- ing to get the right players on at the right time. Mr. Hobden made a dash- ing iigure on the middle courts in his When the en- out we were uwinter white ensem-bleu. tire company was worn called to lunch--And in wartime too! Could be we have several good business heads in the establishment, at any rate, someone made money on that All right, folks, let us all rise and take out our wallets line. It was fun, though, and no one seemed to mind. Badminton is a really fine' sport. With me it was a case of love at first game-I shall return to participate in the next tournament with as much en- thusiasm. VIVIAN HOFFER, XIII
