10 SAMARA BEFORE commenting on the year ' s sports record I should Uke to say how greatly we appreciate all that Miss Snell has done for us. We have made great progress in both in and out — door sports. Sports Day: — The 1941 Sports Day was held on June the ninth. The sports events and the drill competitions were combined in order that the parents might see the achievements in the drill exercises as well as in the actual sports. The Va, Vb class collected the greatest number of points in the Competition. The following won honours in. the sports events: Senior Sports Cup — Helen Christie Intermediate Cup — Jessie Gilmour Junior Cup — Elizabeth Paterson Preparatory Cup — Diana Davis House Relay — Keller House Obstacle — Nightingale House Sports Cup — Nightingale Tennis: — Last year ' s House Tennis Matches were won by Nightingale. Mar- garet Gerard won the senior singles; Mar- garet Gerard and Sue Kenny the senior doubles; Jessie Gilmour the Intermediate singles and Anne Binks and Mary Cuth- bertson the Intermediate doubles:. In the autumn of ' 41 we began our sports year by entering the Interscholastic Tennis Matches. We won, under the leadership of Noreen Haney, defeating Glebe the former holders of the cup. Noreen Haney, Anne Powell, Jessie Gilmour, Mary Wurtele and Dorothy Davis made up the team. Basketball: Our second sports event was the interhouse basketball tournament. Keller came out on top defeating both Fry and Nightingale. Junior House teams were introduced this year as a result of the en- thusiasm for basketball throughout the school. Two of these teams won one game each therefore the tournament will be replayed now that the season has reopened. Badminton : Owing to the girls ' keenness for skiing and skating during the winter term the badminton tournament was de- layed until just before Easter. Noreen Haney is our new school champion. In the House Matches, played early in the Summer Term, Keller defeated both Nightingale and Fry. Volleyball: Last term Miss Snell started volleyball as a new game in the school. As soon as baskets were put around the lights in the Hall we had a match in which Va, Vb class defeated the VI Matric, IV Upper class. Gym. and Drill: Gym. and drill classes have continued this year with so much in- creasing enthusiasm and improvement that it was necessary to form another class. Although this new class contains mainly juniors it is by no means inferior to the senior class. A.C.
