12 SAMARA LAST year we said good-bye to Miss Woolaver, and this year we say ' ' Wel- come to Miss Snell, our new gym mistress. We have had a very successful sports year; enthusiasm has run high and more girls have turned out to take part in the various games. Basket ball still holds first place as the most popular sport, with tennis, badminton and others following very closely. SPORTS DAY From afar the lustry cheers of the dif- ferent Houses could be heard as their re- presentatives were victorious in the different events on the afternoon of June 7. Comedy was supplied by the train-race, in which girls tried to pull on skirts, button shirts, open umbrellas and then run to the goal, all against time. The main events were won by the fol- lowing: Senior Sorts Cup Intermediate Cup Junior Cup Preparatory Cup Long Jump Relays Tug-of-War House Sports Cup -Margaret Gerard -Mary Paterson — J. Gilmour — E. Paterson — E. Archdale — Anne Shaw — Nightingale — Fry —Keller BASKETBALL This is the sport of sports at Elmwood. Everyone likes to try to put the ball through the hoop, even when she discovers by ex- perience how much skill it reguires. The highlight of the basketball season was the trip to Kingston on November 4th, when we played against Hatfield Hall in the Queens University Gym. Though Hatfield gained the upper hand in the first half and held it throughout the game, it was a very exciting battle for both onlookers and players. The lack of absolute accuracy in shooting was our greatest handicap, and the score was 50-30 for Hatfield Hall. Later both teams had lunch at the LaSalle Hotel, the Elmwood girls acting as hostesses. Games with the Old Girls have become more frequent this year, continuing through- out the winter and taking place in the Ashbury Gym. Shrieks and howls issue forth from behind closed doors and quite a wild game of basketball takes place. The School Tea m has been victorious in all the games played, although they have not had it all their own way by any means. During the winter inter-House games have also been played at Ashbury, with Fry the winner. Scores — Fry vs. Keller — 28-12 for Fry. — Nightingale vs. Fry — 46-14 for Fry. — Keller vs. Nightingale — 18-16 for Nightingale. TENNIS After an absence of a year we were again able to enter a tennis team in the Inter- scholastic Tennis Matches, but were over- whelmed by Ottawa Ladies ' College in the first round. However, we managed to win one hard-fought game and tie another — which lasted twenty-seven games for two sets! The tennis team is composed of the fol- lowing girls: Joan Daniels, Nancy Shaw, Margaret Gerard and Frances Bell. As last year ' s Inter -house matches did not take place until the end of the term, only two games were played with Fry victorious in both. Last years ' s School Championships were won by Senior Singles — Joan Daniels.
