BOYS ' VARSITY BASKETBALL BACK ROW: Ron McKenzie, Randy Bell, Dave Lamsdale, Jim Shewchuk, Orton Harrison. FRONT ROW: Gerry Bausman, Jim Baker, Ron Stewart, Don Leitch, Lloyd Thompson. The team started the season with a loss, but due to fine coaching it started to form about half-way through their scheduled league games. Fine playing led to having all games close in scoring. Ron Stewart led the scoring with 113 points in 10 games. Fine spirit and good sportsmanship was always displayed. Many thanks to the students for their support and to Mr. Jermundson for his untiring effort. BOYS ' FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Of Freshman basketball at Elmwood it may be said, Valiant are those who serve . The odds for years have been against our teams--fewer years of experience per player, smaller numbers for selection, and so forth. Yet each year a team is fielded and games are lost. The important thing is that the boys have always played with great spirit, al¬ ways hoping for a win, though usually striving for a certain score. Loyalty has always been strong; fair play has always been the motto. The team deserves our admiration more than any previous team has deserved school support. They returned to the floor repeatedly to face the tallest opposition ever. When you jump and find yourself elbow high to your check, it can be discouraging. BACK ROW: Irwin Noga, Phil Squarie, Mr. Wolfe, Coach; Rick Headly, Gilles Huisinga. FRONT ROW: Robin Kadillac, Sid Spence, Bill Stearns, Dale Kendal. 24 t 34

BOYS ' VARSITY SOCCER It was rather pleasing to note the enthusiasm shown by Elmwood Soccer teams, both in practising and in playing official matches. Neither of the two teams brought home any trophies, but they did not in any way disgrace their school. Enthusiasm, however, is not the only requirement for playing soccer. Efforts should be made to bring about improve¬ ments in all departments of the game. Soccer, although more widely played than any other football game, is still the Cinderella of sports in Winnipeg, for obvious reasons. Would regular soccer Clinics, ;herefore be too much to hope for? Let ' s hope not! BOYS ' FRESHMAN SOCCER

Boys ' Indoor Track This year the team competed in the Meet of Champions in January and the Red River Relays in April. Both meets were held in the Winnipeg Arena. Qualifying for the Meet of Champions were the 4x1 lap relay team, John Lues for the 60 yard dash, and Orton Harrison and Dave Peabody for the high jump. Orton went on to win in the high jump. In the Red River Relays, John Lues and Orton Harrison qualified. The team practised hard, and a good effort was put forth by all. We would like to thank our coach, Mr. Jermundson, for his assistance.
