NINETEEN FORTY-SIX A 13 SENIOR TEAM Back Row: jolly Smart, Mary Lou Dickson, Doug Henderson, Kathy Wilce. Front Row: Lorna Edwards, Mildred Muttart, Joyce Wilson. Mary Lingas, jane Brandiff. Missing: Louise Barnes. SENIORS The Senior team started the season with Eastwood and came out on the short end of the 31 - 11 score. The season didn't bring any wins but the team improved immensely toward the close of the season. The game with St. Mary's High was very close with St. Mary's edging out Garneau 15 - 12. Good defensive work on the part of Garneau guards held down University High to a score of 15 - 6. The season was closed with a Round Robin held in the West- glen gym with a mixed Garneau team attending. BRIGHT SPOT In what proved to be the best game of the season, a mixed Senior and Junior team from Garneau travelled to Commercial High to hand them a defeat of 28 - 18. The much smaller Commercial floor did not seem to bother the Garneau team and the count was tied several times until the end of the third quarter. In the last quarter Garneau came forth to win the game by a margin of 10 points. High scorers on the Garneau squad were Lorna Edwards and Mildred Muttart each with 8 points to her credit.

Grant Burrows, Dick Bradshaw. Missing: Roy McMahen fcaptainj. Basketball took a prominent place in Garneau High School's first athletic year. Garneau fielded a team in the inter-school junior League. Only a junior team was entered as there was only one boy in the school who had senior number as worked out by the McCoy system. In exhibition games in pre-season play the team made promise of bringing honor and glory to the school. When the league began january 15, they won their first game against U.I-l.S., but as is sad to relate. they lost the rest of their league games. In all fairness to the team, many or most of their games were of the heart-breaker type. That is they lost by very close scores of 2 or 3 baskets. One example of this type of game was the exhibition game with XVestglen after the close of the schedule. It was a wide open game with plenty of scoring, but Westglen did us out by the score of -ll to 40. Inter-room challenge games became popular when competitors for the school team became hard to get. The Students' Union furnished the boys with blue basketball sweaters with gold lettering. The boys themselves bought red shorts to complete their outfit. It is hoped that next year the sweaters can be dyed wine or maroon so we will have our basketball team wearing school colors. The team was under the direction of Mr Botsford.
