This was Elmwood’s third year in the Cross Country event: the entered two teams fared well under the capable coaching of Mr. Kaplan. Out of 16 teams, our number one team placed fifth and our number two team finished eleventh. Elmwood also participated in four of the six meets held and did quite well. The top averages for the six meets were: Dan Maskiew, 16; Brian Cadle, 17; Tibor Whittier, 21; Jim Leggett, 28; Bruce Tait, 34; Richard Schellenberg, 37; and Larry Smith, 40. This year, six runners accompan ied Mr. Kaplan to the International Cross Country Meet at Fargo, North Dakota. Plac¬ ing fifth out of the eleven teams entered. The runners were D. Maskiew, J. Leggett, L. Smith, B. Tait, R. Schellenberg and P. Komarnicki. The teams will have another chance next year and hope to do much better. Girls’ Freshmen Volleyball The Freshman Volleyball Girls ' Team was ably coached by Miss Dunning. The girls practised nearly everyday and learned teamwork. Because of these practises, they won most of their games but fell short of the final victory. Tiny Kirby, Pat Brough and Marlene McEachern were among the top players on the team. Most of these girls were also on the Fresh¬ man Basketball team and were all-round athletes. The group was noted for its excellent spirit which never lagged at any time. Although the cheerleaders rarely attended the girls’ games in any sport, and crowd attendance was usually poor, these girls proved that the game was what really counts. BACK ROW: Penny McKeen, Tiny Kirby, Sharon Johnson, Gerogina DeCock, Gayle Martin, Linda Salavich. FRONT ROW: Pat Brough, Marlene McEachern, Maureen Bradfield, Linda Bruce, Barbara Jaffray.

Elmwood’s Volley¬ ball team did not enjoy a great deal of success this year. Playing their games at St. John’s High School, they lost games to both St. John’s and Sisler and placed third in the tourhament. The team consisted of four experienced members from last year’s tourna¬ ment and four boys with: another year’s eligibility. Although this year ' s showing was mediocre, the future looks quite bright for the team! Boys’ Varsity Volleyball Girls’ Varsity Volleyball The Varsity Girls haven’t fared well in either basketball or volleyball. The girls, however, did a little better against Sisler in a 59-45 game. The girls deserve a lot of credit, although they only won one game. They came out willingly to every practice and every game. Their team spirit was always tops and never lagged, even when they were beaten by a big margin. Perhaps, next year, they shall do as well as they deserved to this year. BACK ROW: Donna Lee, Sharon Prociuk, Maria de Broekert, Marlene Douglas. FRONT ROW: Noreen Marshall, Bonnie Ferris, Maureen Kizlik, Linda Eyolfson, Sharon Hickey. MISSING: Sharon Brough, Miss Dunning, Coach.

The teams, to put out a good performance practised faithfully after four o ' clock for many days. The most outstanding member of the indoor track team was Orton Harrison, who lumped six feet one inch on January 25 and became Athlete of the Meet for the second year in a row, as the most outstanding Senior High athlete in Manitoba. Girls’ Indoor Track Under the instructions of Peggy MacLeod, the girls practised circuit training each activity period. Although the team was prevented from entering the indoor track meets, they hope to make up for it next year. The girls undoubtedly wi II put on a good performance in the Track and Field Day.
