f I III: ' ' •|i;,Uii |l l| | l!!i ; - ’I! i..! •- RUGBY TEAM Although 1950 ' s edition of the Purple Raider grid Team WAS NOT A WINNING ONE, THE SEASON WAS ACTUALLY A SUCCESS, IN THAT IT WILL GIVE MANY OF THE NEW PLAYERS OF THE SQUAD MUCH NEEDED EXPERIENCE FOR THE COMING YEAR. WITH ONLY 3 REGULARS OF LAST YEAR ' S TEAM PRESENT FOR THE INITIAL WORKOUT, COACH Oon Thiers and Gerry Morrison were forced to mould together AN ALMOST NEW TEAM. IN a PRE-SEASON EXHIBITION GAME THE OLDTIMERS OF 49 DE- MONSTRATED JUST WHAT EXPERIENCE MEANS, WHEN THEY OVERWHELMED THE SQUAD BY A LARGE MARGIN. IN THEIR TWO GAME SERIES with Exeter, the team from the north edged out the raiders 11-10 at Forest and took a 24-14 decision in Exeter the fol- lowing week. However, the lads were never short of spirit AND GAVE THEIR OPPOSITION MORE THAN ENOUGH FIGHT. NEXT SEASON WE HOPE WILL BE A WINNING ONE FOR F. D, H. S. (by Andy Windsor) F.O.H.S. TRACK AND FIELD MEETS The annual Track and Field Meet was held in September. Anne Fraleigh and Doug Sadler were captains of the Purple teams, while John Manning and Georgina Bryns headed the White teams. The Morning events included the jumps which were held on the school grounds, but the afternoon events, HELD AT THE FAIRGROUNDS, FINALLY DED I CED THE TEAM VICTORS AND INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONS. In October, Forest was out with flying colours on their way to Petrol i a to defend their title as champions of the Five-School meet, but unfortunately lost the Championship FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SIX YEARS, TO PETROL I A. ANNE FRALEIGH won Forest ' s only championship, the senior girl’s cup for THE MOST POINTS AND THE INDIVIDUAL CHAMP I ONSH I P. AT W.O.S.S.A. in London, the Senior girls took first place and set a new RECORD FOR THE SPEED THROW.
