:--'-f- Girls' Athletics IEclited by E. GLASSF ORD This Year in Girls' Athletics Another year's events have been recorded in the pages of Glebe's history,-a history of which every Glebite might well be proud. The particular aspect in which we are espec- ially interested at this point is that of Girls' Athletics. School magazines preceding this one fairly glow with shining accounts of her prowess in various branches of sports. This year merely forges another link in the chain of Glebe's achievements. Looking back over the incidents of the past year, we see that Glebe girls continued to uphold the high standards set by their predecessors. Once more both Junior and Senior basketball teams gained top-rating in the City League. For the fourth year the girls' Track Team won the Capitol Theatre Trophy, the City Interscholastic Tennis Tournament was again won by the Glebe girls. Inter-form competition in softball, swim- ming, volleyball and basketball was as stiff as ever, and the girls .showed a great im- provement in class games. ' Glebe Collegiate offers excellent facilities for all athletic girls. Ample opportunity is afforded them to take part in many different sports. We have a fine swimming pool which is not used as much as it might be. However, the inconvenience of coming to class with Wet hair is realized, and it is hoped that hair dryers may be installed in the near future. Miss Norris, Miss Laidlaw and Mr. Keill deserve a great deal of credit for their un- failing patience and excellent advice. This trio very unselfishly gave of their time and talent towards moulding the champions of our teams. The Girls' Athletic Association was more ambitious than ever this year. They catered for the At Home and helped to decorate and make favours for the Football Dance. An experiment is being tried out by selling attractive navy blue sweat-shirts with yellow Page '74 school crests on them. If the experiment proves successful, the Association will pro- bably branch out into other lines. A large number of Athletic tickets were sold this season but there is always room for im- provement in sales. The girls are strongly urged to support this important part of girls' athletics-the sale of athletic tickets. The ofiicers of the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion for 1938-39 are: Honorary President: MR.

Softball, Badminton and Swimming In spite of the wet weather which pre- vailed during the spring of last year, the softball schedule was completed. It was necessary to play some of the games at noon and the girls were almost forced to play on Saturdays. Gypsy Fleming's 4D- 3D team, champions of the Upper Forms, defeated Form ZE, captained by Helen Patrick, to win the school championship. The badminton tournament was enthus- iastically followed by all girls who took part Lux GLEBANA

in it. The quality of badminton played was very good. Last year the Senior and Junior Singles were won by Diana Lyon and Eileen Narraway respectively. June Mc- Cann and Marion Rankin won the Senior Doubles, while Betty Sharpe and Pat Page captured the Junior Doubles. Cups were presented to these girls for their excellent performances. The 1938 Swimming Meet was rather poorly attended. However, the competitors showed fine form and speed. Lorna Under- wood won three Junior events to take the championship. Janet Williamson won the 2-lengths brest stroke. Sheila Cole's very graceful diving earned her the award for the plain dive. In the Seniors, Margaret Bowler and Sheila Cole each won two events. The winning form relays and captains were: Grade IX-9A SYLVIA CRAWLEY Form II Sz III 3E PHYLLIS CRAWLEY .Form IV Sz V -4G EVELYN WELLWOOD Tennis and Volleyball Once again the Glebe team was victorious in the City Interscholastic Tennis Tourna- ment held last Autumn. The first team played against was Elmwood, which went down to a straight defeat. The first three players won their singles' matchesg therefore no doubles had to be played. In the finals Glebe met Commerce. to win in straight sets. The players on the team are chosen by means of an elimination tournament and the members of the teams compete among themselves for their positions on the team. The team consisted of the following: CID Dorothy Greene Q25 Katharine Drayton C31 Elizabeth Drayton C43 Frances Lyon C55 Sonia Swift This year the Upper Form volleyball teams were divided into three groups: A, B, and C. In the first group Jean Car- michael's 4C-V team was victorious, Audrey Hancock's 4B-3B team took first place in group B, while form 3G captained by Cath- arine McMillan came out on top in group C. Grade IX and X champions were IX-C and X-F, captained by Shirley Austin and Mavis Glossop respectively. At the time of writing, the school champions had not been decided.
