SPORTS NOTES This year once again, sports played an important role in the school activities. Sports have been under the direction of Miss, Driscoll who put in much time and effort to organize Inter- house Volleyball and Basketball. The Volleyball and Basketball game caused much excitement as all games were very close. However, Keller won both sports under the leadership of Debbie Monk and Katie Scott. Sandy Burke- Robertson and Audrey Loeb, sports captains of Fry and Nightingale, whole-heartedly encouraged their teams and the sportsmanship of all the girls was evident. The highlight of the Basketball season was the game against Strathallan. It was a quick- moving game and the score was very even. However, Elmwood won 37-35. Everyone enjoyed this exchange weekend! This year Miss. Driscoll decided to have the whole school do rhythmlic exercises on Sports Day. The school in the end rose to the occasion, for during rehearsals many people did not know the correct timing and this caused problems! Our hard work paid off! Tennis and badminton enthusiasts were often seen on the tennis courts and on the grounds, and those who practiced conscientiously had a chance to show their skill in the tournaments held. Skiing and skating were the popular winter sports. Often at break and lunch the skating rink was occupied with girls from all grades. Many thanks to all who helped with the school sports activities and I hope next year that all the girls will carry on sports with enthusiasm and a sense of fair play.

Some of the Strathallan girls stayed here at school while the others were guests of the day girls. Thank you very much, day girls, for your kind hospitality. I am sure the girls enjoyed it immensely. On Saturday morning the basketball game between Strathallan and Elmwood was played in the Rockcliffe Park Public School gym. The game was fast moving and extremely exciting. It was a close game all the way and stiff competition for both teams. It proved to be a victorious day for Elmwood as we won 37 - 35 — a close score which we achieved with the expert coaching of Miss DriscolL In the afternoon there was a hockey game at the Rockcliffe Airport Rink be- tween Ashbury and Hillfield which everyon e enjoyed! Ashbury defeated Hillfield 3-1 in a most thrilling game. It was a most successful day for Elmwood and Ashbury. To end the week-end Ashbury held ' their Football Dance ' which was also their last dance of the year. ' The Esquires ' provided the musical entertainment. We particularly enjoyed their take offs of ' The Beatles ' . Our guests left on Sunday morning to drive back to Hamilton. It was a most exciting and unusual week-end for us and I hope that these exchange visits may continue in the coming years. Our thanks to Mrs. Blyth, Miss DriscoU and to Mrs. R. S. Bruce of Strathallan for arrang- ing a wonderful week-end. Ellie Sanders Sports Captain.
