INTER-SCHOOL IE AGUE STANDINGS Games Junior Senior Soccer 3rd lith Volleyball 3rd 2nd Basketball .. lith 5th. Vanier ' s first year in inter-school competition may not appear too successful when measured by the win-loss records on the score- board but in terms of school spirit, enthusiasm and good sportsman¬ ship, our teams have enjoyed tremendous success. In assessing the merit of team-play, it is well to remember this worthwhile fact: The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle - the essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well, Vanier ' s athletes have held the torch high and pass it to next year ' s All Stars to do the same c GYMPEDE On Wednesday, April 26, 1961, Vanier held its first gympede. This skilled performance of members cf the athletic division was a marvelous display of physi¬ cal ability. The program began with a few rousing cheers from our blue-and-gold- clad cheerleaders„ Following this display there were several demonstrations of warm-up exercises and a bean bag routino 0 The Junior Leader girls held an amus¬ ing fashion show and the grade nine girls performed an interpretive dance. One of the highlights of the gympede was a fabulous visit from the exclusive Lido Club girls, Fifi, Gigi, Kind, Bridgit, and Ruth. They held the audience spell¬ bound with their exotic version of the classical? Can-Can. Also on the agenda for this entertaining evening were folk carces, square dances, the samba, volleyball and basketball displays and various tumbling feats. The majorettes and the cheerleaders then led the school in a grand finale to wind up another great Vanier success 0 Net proceeds from the Gympede amounted to |89. 75 and provided funds to purchase the trophy for Outstanding Athletes, two shields for Intramural Sports, cups, and athletic letters for this year ' s winners of awards. The Gympede has proven to be one of the outstanding events in the school year and its success will be permanently recorded in the trophies displayed in the foyer.
