Tho badminton club started playing early in October and continued through until almost Easter. The badmint n team concentrated its efforts in the month precoding tho W. 0. S. S. A. tournament which was hold this year on April 13. A few of the gym classes were devoted to badminton, but tho school-wide t urnaments wore held during the special intramural periods which were instituted this year. Tho playing of badminton servos two functions in tho extra-curricular activities of the students. It offers keen competition for those who enjoy competitive sports and aro physically and mentally able to play them. It is also one of the few co-educational sports which can be learned easily and on joyed by pooplo ;f even tho least athletic ability.
