INTER-HOUSE SPORTS Volleyball Volleyball was, as always, a great success this year. Instead of one team from each of the three houses we organized two teams to enable the less experienced players to play. After a great deal of friendly rivalry between the Houses, Nightingale ' s first team emerged the winner with Keller a very close second. Keller ' s second team was victorious edging Nightingale by only a few points. Fry House ' s teams were third in both cases. Altogether it was a thoroughly enjoyable season. Badminton At the time of going to press the Badminton play- offs have not been completed. However, the Junior singles has been finished. Susan Rogers won this in the finals by defeating Peggy Cameron. Tennis Due to bad weather in the fall, the inter-house tennis tournament has not yet been completed. How- ever, Fry did play Nightingale. In these games Laragh Neelin defeated Sandy Moffat to take the singles for Fry and Sally Sadler and Lesley Gait cap- tured the doubles for Nightingale by defeating Di Manion and Ruthie Petrie. Both Houses have yet to play with the Keller team consisting of Lynne Cas- tonguay, Joan Grier and Jean Cundill. n ' V I, tout u ' 11 Of r.,. tile 1 - a i!

WW 7 a ' CO. Pec Ou 7, 0 , Basketball This was really a big year for basketball, not only in outside games but also in inter-house competition. Fry, though they fought valiantly, lost to both Nightingale and Keller. In the final game between Nightingale and Keller, Keller emerged the victor after a very exciting, nerve-racking game. INTER-SCHOLASTIC SPORTS Tennis This year we again sent a team to play in the Ottawa Inter-Scholastic Tennis Union Girls ' Tourna- ment. The team consisted of Laragh Neelin, Lynne Castonguay, Joan Grier (all singles players) Ruthie Petrie and Di Manion (doubles). These girls all finished the tournament undefeated except Laragh Neelin who was narrowly defeated by Pat Ryan, an Ottawa Champion, and so Elmwood won the cham- pionship. Congratulations, girls! Basketball Basketball though always a favorite sport of the Elmwood girls, has never been their strong point. But this year was different. Elmwood really put her- self on the map when our school team finished this season undefeated and the holder of the Ottawa Inter-Scholastic Girls ' Basketball Championship. Our success was mainly due to the high quality of sports- manship and teamwork evident among the players. In our pre-tournament games we defeated Lisgar and Arnprior High School. The first team we played in the tournament was Lisgar. Again we defeated them 26-10. The next day we met with Glebe and the final score was 26-8 in favour of Elmwood. In a very exciting semi-final game we tied with Nepean. We were still in the finals though. A large number of spectators were on hand to see Elmwood move ahead of Glebe after a slow start to capture the title 26-21. Poge 21 011 U)Q and ' arn. the tea fir ' s J - fall ' Ae 7v„ am ' ' th. Stop Presses May 31st — After a day of tennis matches the re- sults of the tournament are now known. Laragh Neelin downed Lynne Castonguay to emerge the singles champ. The doubles were taken, in an ex- citing game with Joan Grier and Lynne Castonguay, by Sally Sadler and Lesley Gait. Congratulations to the winners! Sports Day Sports Day this year was efficiently run under Miss Darbyshire ' s guidance. Elimination heats were held in the morning, and the finals were in the afternoon.

The Dunlop Cup for Intermediates was won by Judy Ewing. She copped four firsts and placed high in several others. Sue Rogers won the Fauquier Junior Sports Cup by capturing four firsts and a second. The Wier Sports Award went to Lalage Wright. Eight-year-old Valerie Pulker won the Transition Cup after placing first in all Preparatory Division events!
