18 SAMARA BASKETBALL TEAM CRITICISMS Mary Paterson: — Mary has been our centre forward throughout the Basketball season. She works well with her other forwards and contributes greatly to the speed of the game, but there is room for improvement in her shooting. Joan Daniels: — Joan is a steady forward. She shoots best from near the basket and made good use of this in the Fall matches. Frances Bell: — Frances ' height is a great asset to the team. Her floor work is good, but unfortunately her shooting varies from day to day. Joan Thomson: — Joan has improved steadily since September, both in speed, and accuracy of shooting. She has become one of our best forwards. Gloria Vaughan: — Gloria is light for her position as guard, but is quick on her feet and jumps well. Bea Black: — Bea has height to her advantage, and with more alertness, will make a very good guard. Nancy Baker: — Nancy possesses the qualities of an excellent guard in her speed and jumping. Norah Lewis: — Norah is a steady and dependable guard, but needs to move more quickly on the floor. Sue Edwards: — Sue came back to school late, but was not long in working up to team standard. While her shooting needs im- provement, she shows great speed and co- operation with the rest of the team. HOCKEY AND SKATING Unfortunately this winter a great many activities turned up to prevent much hockey, but those girls who so enjoyed it last year were sometimes to be seen ripping down the ice, hockey stick in hand. Of course skating on the school rink was as popular as ever, particularly among the boarders, and a largish group of Elmwood went down to the Minto. We find some of our classmates really blossoming out in this winter sport, while others are still at the bump, bruise and groan stage. TENNIS Although we were sadly lacking in tennis players this year, we entered the Inter- Scholastic Tennis Matches again, and enjoyed some games with Glebe, by whose might we were overwhelmed in all but one encounter. The Inter-House Cup, last year, went to Nightingale, after some closely fought battles. The School Championships were as follows: Senior Doubles — M. Howard and J. Daniels Senior Singles — M. Howard Intermediate Doubles — B. Black and N. Lewis Intermediate Singles — M. Gerard. BADMINTON Played in the hall during the winter, badminton became even more popular than last year. The cup goes to Nightingale who had seven wins, closely seconded by Fry with five. MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES In their respective seasons, ski-ing, riding and archery occupied the boarders ' after- noons, scarcely one going by when a group did not enjoy one of these sports. GYM AND DRILL Under Miss Woolaver, this year, we have progressed far in gym and drill work. As usual, we used the ropes, rings, bars and horse in our gym. We should like to thank all those who have served, timed or refereed at our basketball games, and also the old girls for three good games. There are very few people who are as welcome opponents as they. Most of us feel that this year has been a particularly good one, from a point of view of sports. May there be many more like it! — Mary Paterson — Sports C
