14 SAMARA Philosophy Cluh Although we started the school year on the right foot by having a meeting of the Philoso- phy Club on the second Friday, with Mrs. Bruce as speaker, we did not have as many meetings as we would have liked. This was partly due to special events and lack of time. However, we had some very interesting even- ings with speakers Reverend M. G. Peers and the Reverend T. H. O ' Driscoll. Our discussions covered many phases of life, but we always kept in mind the omnipre- sence of God. We had good attendances at all the meet- ings, and many thanks go to Mrs. Bruce and Mrs. Blyth for acting as speakers quite a num- ber of times. JiNTY KnOWLING. Skiing This year the skiers of Elmwood enjoyed a very full season. The snow was slow in making its appearance, but this did not put a damper on the girls ' enthusiasm. Our skiers boarded a school bus each Saturday morning at 9.30, and along with the Ashbury boys, headed for a full day of skiing at Camp For- tune. At the beginning of the season conditions were slightly icy due to a lack of snow. February, however, brought heavy snowfalls and wonderful skiing conditions. The cold, al- though not too severe, bothered few. Warmer weather came with March, bringing along with it beautiful Spring skiing and many tanned faces. We were very lucky this year with regard to accidents. Altliough there were a few sprains, we had no major fracture s. Sandy Radcliff. Interschool Sports This year, Elmwood was not able to enter the inter-scholastic Volleyball League. How- ever, we did manage to be in the Basketball League. Although we lost every game, the team played well, considering the facts that we hadn ' t had a school team for a year and the gym isn ' t quite as big as the regular high- school ones. The girls were enthusiastic and tried hard. These games against the other schools gave us a chance to educate the younger girls in this sport and we should have a very good team next year.
