16 GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS FOREWORD O VERLOOKING no sphere of High School sporting activity, Gordon Bell, in its second year as a senior institution, has capably fulfilled every promise of its initial year. In all lines of sports, our entrants have per¬ formed admirably, and gained for themselves a reputation as hard-fighting athletes. In future years new classes will undoubtedly benefit from the tradition of combined sportsmanship and school spirit which has become a part of our alma mater. Miss Craven and Mr. D. S. McIntyre, sports organizers, and the Sports Council are to be congratulated on the excellent manner in which they have performed their duties. Sports Council B “ k R S 0 : Ray Bria —“

Nocturne A CROSS the restive wavelets danced a lonely midnight breeze, • While bowed, above the moonlit shore, the graceful, tall pine trees, The air was heavy-laden with the forest’s sweet perfume And the slowly dipping paddle played a soft and rythmic tune. The moon, so round and mellow, lit the darkness of the night, And cleft the rippling water with a golden path of light. Each little wave that gamboled with a moonbeam from afar Seemed part of the glorious firmament, a sparkling jewelled star. A deer from out the shelt’ring wood stole to the water’s brink, Gazed mildly ’round with trustful eye, then bent its head to drink; No fear had it of the wraith-like craft so smoothly gliding along, For the stars and the moon cried “Courage!” “Have faith,” was the pine trees’song. —Alison Warner. May Day TTEAR the tramp, tramp, tramp of thousands x Along the dusty street. Hear the murmur of their voices As they fight against defeat. As yet they only wander, Waiting for a man to lead. When he comes, the world will quiver— Labor will be freed! —Don Lingwood.

Insets—Jack Ross and Allan Simm (Coaches). Girls ' Basketball The girls’ basketball team, captained by Doris Perry, the able centre, brought great honor to the school this year. The two games played against Kelvin were the most exciting, with keen competition throughout both games. Gordon Bell, we are sorry to say, lost both. The scores were 13-12 and 15-14, so you may well imagine that they were closely contested and afforded excitement to the spectators right to the finish. The girls hope to win out next year and I am sure we wish them the best of luck. We wish to thank our coaches, Jack Ross and Allan Simm. These boys do not go to our school and gave up much of their valuable time to come to the school and coach the girls. We also thank Miss Craven for the oranges she supplied to quench our thirst during the games and for her encouragement by at¬ tending every practice and game.
