SAMARA 13 Senior Doubles — Sue Edwards and Joan Daniels. Intermediate Doubles — Sue Kenny and Joan Somerville. Intermediate Singles — Ann Powell. BADMINTON Badminton enjoyed more popularity than ever this year. Competition in the Inter- house marches was very keen. Once more Nightingale won the shield, with Fry second and Keller third. OTHER SPORTS Tnis winter many girls tempted fate and started to ski. With Dr. Kohr ' s very en- lightening instructions many who had never before been on skis became enthusiastic if not always adept pupils. The newest activity in the field of sport is fencing, taught by Miss Graham, and En garde is heard in the gym every Monday afternoon. No games in what we used hesitatingly to call hockey were played this year, although there were still the juniors and seniors who made great strides (pun!) on their fancy skates. At present on sunny afternoons many of the girls disappear over the open spaces of Rockcliffe on horseback and we are proud to have several very proficient riders among us. Swimming also has increased in popularity, especially among the boarders, and ar- chery still finds its place among the popular sports. GYM AND DRILL As the year progressed, jumping over the horse, climbing ropes, and swinging from rings has become easier for us all. In deciding the winners of the shield in the drill competition, the judges will have a very difficult task, as all classes have greatly im- proved. We wish to thank Miss Snell for a most successful year under her leadership and encouragement . Francis Bell. BASKETBALL REMARKS Francis Bell: Centre Forward — Francis has made a very willing and able Captain. Her work in the team has been steadly good, especially her passing which has held the team ' s plays together. Her shooting is inclined to be too cautious. Joan Daniels: Left Forward — Joan ' s playing has been very good. Her shooting is the most dependable of the forwards but she needs to work hard to improve her footwork. Joan Thomson: Right Forward — • Joan ' s game is fast and at times brilliant but she is inclined to be erratic, especially in her shooting. Muriel Inkster: Centre Guard — Muriel covers court well. She seems to play best when needed most, which is an asset for any team. Her worst fault is somewhat erratic passing. Gaye Douglas: Left Guard — Gaye is a hard worker and has shown great improvement. She is a steady dependable player and has speed; but needs to learn to stay in her own position. Mary Paterson: Right Forward — • Mary improved greatly after the first few weeks of play, she has good speed and plays hard; is sometimes erratic. Substitutes Mackie Edwards and Ann Shaw have played well together as substitute guards; only their lack of height keeps them from greater improvement. Joan Somerville has shown marked im- provement. She has great enthusiasm and ability.
